Far away in Moscow

Chapter 100
Wang Shen came soon after hearing the news, and yelled at Li Baoqing as soon as he entered the door: "What's wrong?! Why did you open it for you?"

Li Baoqing sighed and did not speak.Hu Yichong smacked his lips to Wang Shen: "If you don't go to class, you'll just think about studying the box lunch all day long."

"Hey, you can really do it. Our journalism major has loose enough requirements. Foreign students can graduate smoothly if they don't go too far. You are lucky. Sigh!"

Hu Yi frowned impatiently: "Tsk, don't say these are useless. You are familiar with the school, can you find a way to help him find a relationship? If you can't, just pay for it."

"It's useless." Wang Shen shook his head like a rattle: "The old men and women I know are in charge of recruiting students, so it's not a big problem to recruit people from China, and they don't care about the affairs of current students. Besides, Baoqing has already been fired, and now it's hard to find anyone, not even Sixth Brother."

There was silence in the room.After a long while, Li Baoqing sighed: "Oh, what should I do, my father will beat me to death if he finds out. If I had known this... Sigh!"

"Now you know you regret it? What did you do earlier?" Hu Yi walked around the room a few times, reached out and patted the back of his head angrily, and said, "It's my fault for talking about it. It's better to be out of money than to be fired!"

"It has nothing to do with you." Li Baoqing shook his head with a bitter face, and asked tentatively: "Shenzi, if I go back to China, can you find someone to send me an invitation letter to come back?"

Wang Shen rested his chin and thought for a while: "As far as I know, it's very difficult to go back to Youda after being expelled. Even if you can come back, you have to start from the preparatory course again. But..."

"But what?"

"However, it's not without such a precedent. You can try to operate it." Wang Shen hesitated: "And even if you can't go back to Friendship University, you can find a way to find someone to get you to another school."

"That's fine!" Li Baoqing seemed to have grasped at straws: "Can you help me with this matter?"

"Try it at Friendship University first. Anyway, I won't go back to China during the summer vacation. I will try my best to help you. If it doesn't work, I will consider other schools."

"Okay! Anyway, I have to come back and finish school anyway." Li Baoqing turned his head to look at the pots and pans in the room with a melancholy expression: "And our fast food business must continue."

Hu Yi snorted and laughed angrily: "You have been fired, and you are still thinking about making fast food? Are you really looking for money? I ask you to find out if the situation is okay?"

"Isn't coming to school just to find a good job in the future? Isn't finding a good job just to make money? After all, as long as you can make money, nothing else matters." Li Baoqing muttered in a low voice: "Of course, I also You have to study until you graduate from college, otherwise...or you won’t be able to explain to your parents.”

Hu Yi gave him a muffled look, feeling speechless.The three discussed in the room for a long time, but in the end they couldn't find any sure way, so they could only try according to Wang Shen's thinking.

Li Baoqing left dejectedly, and Hu Yi felt melancholy for a long time.The two originally agreed to go back to China together during the summer vacation, but now Li Baoqing intends to stay in Moscow for a few more days before his visa expires, trying to arrange a way out for himself, so Hu Yi had no choice but to embark on the journey back to China alone.

Returning to China after two years, the mood at this moment is quite different from that at the beginning.After buying the air ticket, Hu Yi still has more than 1000 US dollars left on hand, which is a bit like a poor man getting rich.Before leaving, he went to the urban area to buy a lot of gifts for his relatives and friends. He stuffed a medium-sized suitcase full, and there were ten packs of foreign cigarettes of various brands in his carry-on backpack.

The last time he returned home was Aeroflot, and this time he chose Air China, which is a little more expensive.When he came to the check-in counter, Hu Yi smiled and handed over his passport: "Please give me a smoking seat."

The girl at the check-in was stunned for a moment: "Excuse me sir, smoking is strictly prohibited on the plane, and there is no place where you can smoke."

"No smoking? Why?" Hu Yi was shocked: "Aeroflot can smoke!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was "shocked".Hu Yi has been smoking since high school, at least one pack to as many as two packs a day, except for going to class, sleeping and eating, he has to smoke whenever he wants.It takes seven or eight hours to fly from Moscow to BJ, and it is too painful not to smoke.

"Air China has banned smoking from a long time ago." The girl smiled sweetly: "Do you have any other requests?"

"No more, whatever you want." Hu Yi grabbed the boarding pass angrily and walked towards the customs.

There was a long queue at the customs window, and when Hu Yi completed the border inspection and passed through the security gate, it was less than half an hour before boarding the plane.

"Whose bag is this?" an unsmiling security officer shouted, pointing to a black sports backpack.

"Mine! Mine!" Hu Yi quickly agreed, and squeezed to the counter while tying his belt: "What's wrong?"

The security inspector dumped out the ten packs of cigarettes: "Why are you bringing so many cigarettes? It's not allowed."

"Not allowed?" Hu Yi said in a daze, "This is a gift I brought back."

"No, each person can carry at most one bottle of wine and two cigarettes. This is the rule."

"What rules!" Hu Yi was anxious: "Why?"

"A rule is a rule." The security inspector coldly pointed at the cigarettes on the counter: "You can pick two to take away, and the rest must be kept."

"Damn." Hu Yi muttered to himself in a low voice.In fact, when he first arrived in Moscow, he had heard about such regulations, but he had never heard of anyone being made things difficult because of this, so he patted the counter in dissatisfaction: "I paid for these, and I bought them all. Take it away!"

"No. Take two at most, and keep the rest." The security inspector folded his arms impatiently: "Leave quickly, or I will call security."

Conflicting with staff at the airport is not a wise choice.Hu Yi angrily picked up the two most expensive cigarettes and stuffed them into his bag. He came to the boarding gate full of grievances, chose a side seat and sat down, gnashing his teeth and staring at the security inspector from afar.

Soon it was time for boarding, and the other passengers lined up to board the plane one by one. The staff at the boarding gate came to Hu Yi and said, "Sir, are you going to BJ on flight CA910?"

"Yes."

"The plane will take off soon, please board as soon as possible."

Hu Yi pointed to the security check counter: "They confiscated my cigarette! I have to wait for them to return it to me before I can board the plane!"

"Ah?" The staff member was a young girl with an oval face. She probably had never encountered a similar situation before. She looked at Hu Yi with a embarrassed face and said, "But if you don't board the plane, we won't be able to take off on time."

"I know." Hu Yi felt a little apologetic in his heart, but his tone was very firm: "That can't be helped, you can go to them to negotiate."

The little girl pouted helplessly, went back to the counter, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words.A moment later, a middle-aged man in uniform, tie, and large cap walked across the bridge to the boarding gate.The little girl pointed at Hu Yi politely: "That's the gentleman."

The man nodded slightly, and walked briskly to Hu Yi's side: "How many cigarettes have they confiscated you?"

"Eight articles." Hu Yi looked up and saw that the middle-aged man was tall and imposing, so he straightened his sitting posture a little bit: "They are all going to be brought back to the country to give to friends. It is unreasonable for them to take my cigarettes for no reason. .”

"Oh, eight packs of cigarettes." The middle-aged man straightened his tie slowly, and said with a smile in Beijing-style Mandarin: "It's not worth much. You won't stop getting on the plane just because of these eight packs of cigarettes? You won't go back to China gone?"

　Civil aviation at that time, especially international flights, had certain regulations that were different from those of today.

　　Items such as liquids and lighters could be carried on board at that time, but they were later listed as dangerous items.

　　Aeroflot previously set the last few rows of seats on the plane as smoking seats, and then began to implement a comprehensive smoking ban in 2004.
