Yang Cheng smiled reluctantly, "I wonder what Madam wants to talk about?"

Mrs. Zipperton didn’t seem to see Yang Cheng’s unwillingness. She stood up and went to the desk. She picked up a new cup and poured a cup of black tea. “We’ll stop drinking coffee. Let’s drink some black tea. I like it best. Earl Grey tea."

Yang Cheng took the tea cup, glanced at the tea soup like red wine and thanked him.

Mrs. Zipton took a sip of tea and recalled with a smile, "Don't be surprised how I like British black tea. In fact, the family I grew up has inextricably linked with Europe on the other side of the ocean.

My father, Hugh, has English and Welsh descent, while mother Dorothy’s descent can be traced back to France, Scotland, Wales and England.

My father worked in a coal mine, and later ran a textile factory by himself. The business was still booming. He advocated thrift and integrity, and used his clear anti-gong views and strict housekeeping concepts to restrain the whole family. It was normal for people who came to the Great Depression.

His experience in the 1930s gave him a long-term perspective. He talked endlessly about the lives of the poor in the United States in front of children, reminding them to beware of laziness and debauchery, and to work hard.

By the way, my father is an absolute admirer of the real economy. He opposed borrowing and refused to use credit cards, even after his daughter became the first lady of the United States.

He is very frugal, and sometimes even to a harsh level. At that time, the average temperature at night in Illinois was only minus seven or eight degrees Celsius, and he turned off the heating every evening. This approach was a bit harsh.

Not only is he famous for his thrift, he is also rude and blunt. He sparingly praises and praises anyone, and he never praises a word even when his children perform well in school or sports.

All my memories of my father’s temper are revealing his harsh, solitary, irritable character. No matter how high the other party’s achievements are, he rarely uses words to express his support and appreciation for others. . He refuses to give his children pocket money, even when they have done their housework and their homework is excellent. On the contrary, he often gets some contemptuous comments, such as how simple the courses are.

My father was rude and blunt, and he was never able to hide his inner thoughts in front of my daughter. For this reason, when I and the people around me needed to deal with the world media and political~government~ opponents, it also brought me a lot of trouble. "

Yang Cheng quietly listened to Mrs. Zipperton’s narration. He was a little unhappy at first because he was not interested in these things, but gradually, he seemed to understand Mrs. Zipperton’s intentions. She was trying to force Yang Cheng to understand her. To understand her personality and character is a common method used by politicians to draw votes. They use tearful tone in exchange for the sympathy of voters.

Unexpectedly, one day when he was fooled face to face, Yang Cheng laughed in her heart.

Mrs. Zipperton didn’t notice Yang Cheng’s speechless eyes. She leaned on the desk, like a loving old mother, looking back in the past. “Father runs business and mother takes care of housework. This is in line with people’s thinking at the time. They raised With three children, I am the eldest daughter and the only daughter in the family.

Mother has high hopes for me, she put her unfinished dream on my daughter.

We must know that my mother was born during the Great Depression, had little school education, was frightened by family and social pressure, and did not have her own formal career.

As a mother, she was disappointed when Sandra Day O'Connor was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1981, because that meant that her daughter never had the chance to become the first female judge of the Supreme Court. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zipperton changed her tone and laughed at herself, “My mother always thinks that the reason why I can achieve what I am now is entirely based on my extraordinary ingenuity and hard work, not by virtue of gorgeousness. Appearance, such as clothing or cosmetics, etc., the mother does not pay attention to appearance and dress up.

Similar to the Puritan style of dressing, my father’s consumption habits have had a great impact on me, so I often wore a white dress at the high school prom, which looked extremely plain and uninteresting, so that I At that time, my classmates generally felt that I was rustic and lacking charm, and they often mocked me behind their backs.

Even after a few years, although I have become the first lady of Arkansas, I still have a deep imprint of my mother on my body, which even has a lot of negative effects on my husband and my husband’s campaign. "

Yang Cheng responded in a timely manner, "In fact, in the eyes of us Chinese, this is a very good traditional virtue. Madam does not need to care too much."

Mrs. Zipperton smiled and nodded, "Yes, but because of this, when I was a child, I showed a very strong character. I kept getting excellent results to please my father, but unfortunately, regardless of me No matter how hard he works, it is difficult for UU Reading to get positive praise and praise from his father.

At the same time, I continued my mother’s dream of being an astronaut. Although my ideals were not fulfilled, I believe that I have never let down my parents’ expectations. I am always confident and live my way in the career of my choice. I have always been proud of Shuiqi and triumphant singing. "

Yang Cheng slandered, "You can indeed be proud, but it's just self-confidence, you can already be said to be arrogant."

"What really changed the course of my life was in my second year at Yale University. At that time, I met an informal young man with a beard, talking about how Arkansas had grown the largest in the world. Watermelon, jason, you should know who he is." Mrs. Zipper stopped and asked blushingly, like a beautiful woman.

Yang Cheng almost "successfully" said in his heart, "This old woman's private life must be as messy as the rumor!"

He agreed, "It's Mr. Zipton."

"Yes, it was Bill. The acquaintance with Bill changed my life path. I hadn't even thought about this path before, and at the time, I was better than Bill. The mentors were very impressed by me because I am a leader no one can match in my studies.

But Bill’s attitude towards learning is completely different. He regards Yale as an important political springboard, often absenteeism, and is busy with local political campaigns. Because of the lack of personal capital and family ancestry, Bill regards Yale Law School as his political ~Government~ The most important sign in his career. This sign gave him enough confidence. When he was running for office, he declared,'I want to return to Arkansas, I want to be governor.' His firm tone deeply attracted the young Of me. Https://)
