Chapter 116 The Character of Foreigners
Chen Xing arrived at the airport in the afternoon, sat in McDonald's and played games for several hours before boarding the plane.

Chen Xing was not used to going abroad.

This incompatibility manifests itself in many ways.

For example, the plane ticket he took in the past was only 1000 yuan at most, but now it has suddenly increased to [-] yuan at most, which makes Chen Xing, who has never had a good shot, a little distressed.

He is just the son of an ordinary family, not a rich second generation like Zhou Dashao.

I'm so poor.

And then there's the voyage of the flight.

From Chengdu to Paris, France, the plane departs at 01:30 in the morning, and it is said that it will arrive in Paris around [-]:[-] in the morning.

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment at first, thinking that it only took a few hours to fly from China to Europe?Is Europe that small?

Then I discovered the jet lag thing.

The time difference between China and France is seven hours, which means that Chen Xing will have to sit on the plane for at least twelve hours this time. There are people everywhere, grunting and chattering, which makes it difficult for Chen Xing sleep well.

And after all, he was going abroad, Chen Xing was somewhat worried.

But worry, worry, two or three hours later, Chen Xing will not worry anymore.

He took off the bluetooth headset that was dead, and adjusted a more comfortable posture... His feet were numb.

Looking at other people around, some people who often take long-distance flights have fallen asleep. Anyway, this plane is also a night flight. They have to fly in the dark for most of the time from takeoff to landing. There was no noise, and it was a good sleep.

The people around Chen Xing had heard Chen Xing moving all the time, and now they woke up and heard movement, so they took off their blindfold and looked at him, then looked at their watch, and said, "Little brother, it's the first time to go abroad. ?”

"Um, yes, hello."

This person is estimated to be 40 years old, with a high hairline. If he had long hair more than a hundred years ago, he would be more or less an elder brother.

"Hello."

He had a good night's sleep just now, and he felt refreshed for a while, so he said to Chen Xing, "Going on a trip?"

"Well, I want to see the Eiffel Tower, brother, do you often go to Paris?"

"I can't say that I go often, but occasionally, if you want to ask me about Paris, we can't tell you the reason for passing by in a hurry, but I can tell you something that you need to pay attention to when you are abroad. .”

Chen Xing was in need of this, so he quickly said: "I also want to know the difference between domestic and foreign countries, thank you, brother."

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome."

The uncle was very proud, and then said: "When we leave China, the first thing we have to face is foreign customs. I have been to two or three European countries. Although our tourists help them create countless taxes every year, their customs I still like to embarrass Asians, and France is similar, and if you get angry when encountering such things, don't lose your temper."

"Hard us? Why?"

"There is no reason, they treat most foreign tourists like this, unless you are European or American, you have to suffer a little bit."

"Are you not angry?"

"What are you thinking? That's other people's territory. If you dare to get angry, they dare to arrest you for a few hours and prevent you from entering the country. What can you do? This is even more angry. I have seen a Korean People were made so difficult that they got angry and were finally deported."

Chen Xing just asked casually, he could figure out this kind of thing.

"Also, foreigners are not as polite as our domestic people. Sometimes we are more polite and say, eat something? Or ask you to go fishing another day. You know that when you say this kind of thing, you are usually polite. But that’s not the case with foreigners. You tell them to eat, and they will stay for dinner. If you say to make an appointment some other day, they will really call you in a few days to ask you to go climbing. It’s not very particular.”

"Well, I see." Chen Xing nodded.

Uncle's words were a bit extreme.

This is not unique to foreigners.

Among the few ethnic minorities he knows, many people are so forthright.

The education received by modern Chinese people is all-encompassing, including science, history, and tradition.

The example given by the uncle actually contains the traditional allusion of three requests and three concessions.Sometimes you really have to say it three times before the person facing you can confirm what you want to express.However, the ethnic minorities in mountainous areas did not accept the influence of Confucian culture for a long time before, so they lacked this spirit of humility in their characters.

It seems that this uncle travels less in China.

The two talked for more than half an hour. If it was four or five o'clock in the morning according to China's time, they were both a little sleepy.

The uncle put on the blindfold, pulled the blanket, and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while, and you too. Now I wake up and arrive in Paris, otherwise you will be jet-lagged when you get there, and it will be very uncomfortable."

Chen Xing hummed and pressed the service bell above his head.

After a while the stewardess came.

The stewardesses of Air China often represent the image of Huaxia, with sweet smiles and dignified looks. They came over and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Any blindfolds and blankets?"

"There are still blindfolds, and I remember the blankets have been distributed..."

There are too many customers asking for blankets today, and it happened to be at night, so they sent a lot in the first hour they came in. Some customers who were afraid of the cold asked for two more. Now the plane has been flying for four hours. If Chen Xing hadn’t called them , they don't even know that someone hasn't rested yet.

The uncle was very enthusiastic and said: "It's okay. Fortunately, our seats are next to each other. Let me cover you a little. Sleeping directly is easy to catch a cold."

The flight attendant looked at the two of them and said, "There should be more flight attendants, please wait a moment."

When she left, the uncle said exaggeratedly: "It's good luck, young man, some stewardesses offered to give you their own blankets. The ones they used must be much cleaner than the ones they gave us. Maybe they still have a fragrance. It seems You can have sweet dreams tonight."

Chen Xing's tone became more and more strange the more he heard it, why did he feel that this person didn't look like an uncle in his 40s?

"Brother, how old are you?"

"Me? Why are you asking this? I was born in [-]."

This year is 2021. If you were born in 87, you are now... 34?

No way, is 34 so old?
He is half bald at such a young age, so he doesn't work in IT, does he?

Chen Xing didn't dare to continue asking now, for fear of being discovered by others. After all, what he thought was always a bit impolite.

It's normal for someone in their thirties to talk like that.

The 40-year-old big brothers he knows are very stable, and there are more generation gaps in speaking.

Although there is only a ten-year gap between the post-75s and post-85s, if you compare the development speed of China in the past and the current development speed, these ten years are comparable to the previous 30 years.
