Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

The car stopped in front of the Weidao Mingchu restaurant.

Ma Hongwei said, "We've arrived. Let's get off the bus!"

Everyone got out of the car.

Seeing the shop's decor, Zhang Aiying couldn't help but say, "This kind of place must be very expensive. Should we go somewhere else?"

"Mom, since we're going out to eat, we should eat well, not just worry about how much it costs!"

Ma Hongwei said, "If you spend money and it still doesn't taste good, wouldn't you be furious? Besides, your son just sold the copyright for 100 million, so you're not short of money!"

With that, he went inside first.

As soon as the waiter came over, Ma Hongwei said directly, "I made a reservation in advance; I booked a private room."

"plz follow me!"

The waiter immediately led everyone to the private room and brought two menus.

"Sister, brother-in-law, please order whatever you like!"

Ma Hongwei handed over the menu.

He knew his mother would be reluctant to spend the money once she saw the prices.

Ma Weihong looked at Xia Weiwei and said, "Let Xia order!"

"No, sis!"

Xia Weiwei quickly refused.

Ma Hongwei advised, "Since your sister is asking you to order, just order a few dishes you like!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei then ordered a dish of braised beef in a pot by a renowned chef.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Ma Hongwei then handed the recipe to his two nephews.

Li Mingming pointed to the roast duck on the table and said, "Uncle, we want to eat roast duck!"

Ma Hongwei said, "Then let's have a premium roast duck set meal!"

Afterwards, the group ordered dishes such as "Famous Chef's One Jar of Fragrance," "Old Beijing Roasted Lamb," "Famous Chef's Dongpo Pork," "Fish Head Rice Porridge," "Donkey Meat Rolls in Flatbread," "Eggplant Boxes in Grilled Sauce," and "Ecological Tofu."

As for the alcohol, they didn't order any.

After all, both of them need to drive.

I ordered a large bottle of Coke and several bottles of hot almond milk.

While waiting for the food, Li Jianguo couldn't help but complain, "This senior host Chen from the Shanghai Radio and Television Station's foreign language channel is really obsequious and extremely sycophantic. He's almost made all the Chinese people lose face."

"What's wrong?"

Ma Hongwei asked.

"Look!"

Li Jianguo handed the phone over directly.

Ma Hongwei held his phone, and Xia Weiwei also turned her head to look at it.

At a movie press conference, a man named Chen, dressed in a yellow suit, hunched over, head down, and held the microphone high towards a group of foreigners, his expression full of humility and ingratiation.

"Our ancestors were truly amazing!"

Seeing this scene, Ma Hongwei couldn't help but exclaim, "I never understood why the idiom 'to bow and scrape' existed before, but today I finally get it!"

He then returned the phone.

Li Jianguo said, "This host said she was afraid of blocking the camera, so why was she standing tall and proud when she interviewed foreigners and faced the audience?"

"Also, she has interviewed Chinese people before, and she didn't seem afraid to block the camera. Moreover, she didn't have that kind of fawning smile on her face. Instead, she had a serious and stern face."

"Besides, at large events, multiple cameras are set up in different positions to shoot. The director can switch the shots at will and is not afraid of blocking the lens. The host does not need to worry about the integrity of the TV composition. To put it bluntly, it is just sophistry."

"Shanghai, with its bourgeois charm!"

Ma Weihong said, "Although it can't compare to Hong Kong's Baidi City, foreigners there are still considered superior!"

"Recently, a 985 university in Shanghai admitted an American criminal who murdered his wife and assaulted and abused a 10-year-old girl, yet he served as a university teacher for more than ten years. It's chilling to think about."

"The reason this American fugitive was exposed was because a Chinese female student who had been sexually harassed by him discovered him on the American internet."

"Could a wanted criminal in China become a teacher at a top-tier university (like a 985 university)?"

Hearing these words, Xia Weiwei couldn't help but say, "China is now the only superpower that can rival the United States, and the world's leading industrial nation. How come there are still so many people who idolize foreign things?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Some people are just spineless; they act like they've seen their own father when they see foreigners!"

Ma Hongwei shook his head and sighed: "When any foreigner comes to China, they receive preferential treatment beyond that of ordinary citizens."

"A few days ago, a poor Indian from the lowest rungs of society came to China on a budget trip. Someone gave him a taxi, someone bought him a high-speed rail ticket, and a couple even took him home and went to great lengths to cook him a huge feast."

"And what did they do? They said on foreign websites that Chinese people are stupid and rich, that they idolize Indians, and that Indians are very noble and need to be fawned over."

"You think China is a land of etiquette and should treat foreigners like family, but in reality, they treat you like an idiot. Besides, over 90% of people in India have hepatitis A or other infectious diseases. Aren't you afraid of getting infected if you bring them home?"

"These kinds of things happen far too often!"

Li Jianguo shook his head and sighed: "Just a few days ago, the Duncheng Media Convergence Center gave an American a 30 yuan annual salary, a 30 yuan housing subsidy, and a living allowance of 3 yuan per year for ten consecutive years. That's 90 yuan a year!"

"How much do local civil servants earn? Only about 50,000 yuan a year! The money given to him is enough to pay the salaries of 18 civil servants for a year."

Xia Weiwei's eyes widened, and she said, "There's such a thing?"

"Brother-in-law, you're all focusing on the wrong thing!"

Ma Hongwei interjected, "What's the most crucial point? This media company's recruitment announcement was never made public; it only circulated through internal channels. Yet, someone far away in the United States was able to accurately obtain the information and even had someone personally recruit him, directly solving the assessment and political review process."

"This foreigner is no ordinary person. He studied East Asian Studies in school, has liked many anti-China remarks, and has even collaborated with AEI to release reactionary reports."

"This kind of person is definitely not an international friend, and his workplace is legally allowed to possess aerial photography equipment and video equipment to enter the Northwest region for filming, where there are many military bases and space launch centers."

"Why is it that political vetting is required for Chinese people, but not for foreigners?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jianming also said indignantly, "These traitors and collaborators who brought in foreign spies deserve to die!"

In his view, when the new China was first established, its people were not this weak-kneed.

Even though they were still very weak at the time, they still dared to resist the US and aid Korea, one of the world's superpowers, and confront the US head-on.

While remaining silent, Xia Weiwei thought to herself, "When I return to the Soviet area in the future, I must tell those leaders about these things and make them do something about those who fawn over foreigners and are spineless."
