Reborn in the red age

Chapter 134 Arriving in New York
Halfway through the journey, the silent atmosphere was broken by Hu Jiabao. With red eyes, regardless of being on the street, he took Li Qingfeng's hand and told him to pay attention to safety when abroad, eat on time and take care of his body.

Li Qingfeng did not show any impatience with Hu Jiabao's verbal instructions, and nodded in agreement one by one.

When the tricycle arrived at the Language Institute, three buses were already parked at the door.

After getting off the bus with two heavy suitcases, he first signed in at the door and put the luggage into the suitcase on the bus. Qingfeng Li did not get on the bus directly, but took Hu Jiabao and said goodbye to the friends who came to see him off.

Everyone in the 313 dormitory arrived, and even Zheng Xiangqian, who had disappeared for a long time, came to see him off. Li Qingfeng hugged each other.

Lao Hao and the others were fine. They were both men in science and engineering. They just said some blessings to each other, without the pretentiousness of many literati.

While hugging Zheng Qianqian, the top student in the literature department said passionately: "Qingfeng, I wrote a poem for you last night. Where is your notebook? I wrote it to you as a souvenir."

After scanning around, he found that everyone else who was going to study abroad had notebooks. Qingfeng Li touched his nose in embarrassment: "Old Zheng, I won't be back in two years, so I didn't prepare a notebook."

Qingfeng Li did not make a notebook to sign his name like other people who came to see him off. It was not that he would not come back, and he would only stay abroad for two years. There was no need for such a grand ceremony, which seemed too pretentious.

These words made Zheng hesitate forward, and then waved his hands indifferently: "That's it, it's okay, then I will chant it, Qingfeng, just listen."

After saying that, without waiting for Qingfeng Li's answer, he walked forward and sang loudly and passionately: "The west wind is howling and the mountains are cold, and it's hard to calm down after studying abroad.

He has great ambitions to pursue skills abroad and has a clear desire to serve his motherland.

Thousands of mountains and rivers separate us, but friendship will last forever in our hearts.

After returning from studies, we met again and talked about making our motherland more prosperous. "

Although Zheng Xiangqian's character is slightly flawed, his literary talent is still a little bit good. In this era of nonsense and hazy poetry enlightenment, there is still something to be said for being able to write this farewell poem.

After hugging each other goodbye with other classmates, he looked at Wang Weimin and the other three.

I asked Wang Weimin to run the maintenance station well, and shook hands with Ma Wenhui and Lin Zhaodi to say goodbye. It was time to set off.

He said goodbye to everyone again before boarding the bus, and then took Hu Jiabao on the bus to the airport.

The training department is very user-friendly and allows family members to send overseas students to the airport. Usually it is the wife's parents. Qingfeng Li has no parents in Sijiucheng. He discussed with the staff of the training department before bringing Hu Jiabao up.

Most of the people in the bus that Li Qingfeng took were taking their wives to the airport. On the way to parting, everyone was naturally not in a good mood. Many of the young wives were wiping tears.

Hu Jiabao was also affected by the emotion. He held Qingfeng Li's hand in the car seat and kept crying.

Looking at Hu Jiabao, whose eyes were swollen and red, he looked pitiful. Li Qingfeng comforted him: "It's not a big deal. I'll be back in two years. Isn't there a phone in your school? Wait until I can establish myself in the United States." I will call you later"

In the years after China and the United States established diplomatic relations, you could make cross-ocean calls, but the phone charges were very expensive and not many people were willing to make the calls.

Hu Jiabao shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "No, overseas phone calls are too expensive, and you don't have much money there. Don't call me, just write a letter."

"Isn't there a Picasso painting in my luggage? That painting should be worth a lot of money now. I can sell the painting when I get to the United States, so I don't have to worry about my life there."

"That won't work. If the painting can really be sold, you can use the money to eat well over there. Don't waste it on phone calls. We can just write letters."

Seeing Hu Jiabao's persistence, Li Qingfeng nodded along with her words, smiled and promised to write to him every month in the future.As for the phone call, if I call her when the time comes, can she still answer it?

Before boarding the plane at the airport, Li Qingfeng, like other people who came to see his wife off, shook hands with Hu Jiabao, who was crying, and said his final goodbye.

The civil aviation plane took off. Sitting on the plane, watching the buildings below getting smaller and smaller through the plane window, Qingfeng Li sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and prepared for this trip to the United States.

Everyone on the plane except Qingfeng Li was flying for the first time, and they all showed discomfort with flying. Several people suffered from airsickness and vomited violently while holding the vomiting bags that had been distributed in advance.

After the flight became stable, my airsickness symptoms subsided, but my face still didn't look good.

At this time, there was no air traffic between China and the United States. If a plane wanted to go to the United States, it had to fly to the Pakistani railway next door, then fly to Paris for a connecting flight, and finally land at New York International Airport.

After flying out for a while, the mood of parting was replaced by curiosity about the United States. Everyone on the plane discussed the situation in the United States.

It has been a year since we established diplomatic relations with the United States. At this time, a small number of people in China already know about the United States. In addition, they have attended intensive training and received knowledge training abroad. This time, the students studying abroad do not have the same understanding of life abroad as the first batch of scholars. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t discuss the issue of whether America had food stamps on the plane.The long flight was really boring, and Qingfeng Li soon joined the discussion about the United States.

Not long after the smooth flight, the stewardess on the plane came over with a trolley and delivered newspapers, candies, and tea to all passengers.

Qingfeng Li saw Maotai on the flight attendant's trolley. He thought that he had not tasted Maotai for so long since he traveled back in time, so he asked the stewardess to pour him a cup of Maotai and a pack of three Huazi.

With Qingfeng Li speaking first, many male students who liked smoking and drinking couldn't help it anymore and started asking the stewardess for cigarettes or alcohol.

He took out his kerosene lighter, lit Huazi and took a puff, when someone said next to him

"Comrade, I want to have a cigarette. Can you please open the window on the plane?"

Qingfeng Li: "."

The plane stopped at Karachi International Airport on Pakistan Railways the next day. Everyone looked at the brightly lit airport outside and felt it was very majestic. Unlike domestic airports at this time, the lights were turned off early because there were no flights at night.

There was not much stop at Karachi International Airport. After just a short rest and adjustment, the plane took off again and flew towards Paris.

The plane landed in Paris in the early morning. Over Paris, the international students in the cabin were stunned by the city lights on the ground. This was a scene that was unbelievable in China. They were all lying on the plane with the small windows facing down. Wait and see.

After the plane stopped, everyone went to the airport transit hall to rest under the leadership of the team leader.

Everyone looked at the staggeringly exquisite and magnificent decoration in the departure hall. If it hadn't been for the tour leader's instructions before getting off the plane, everyone would have couldn't help but look around curiously.

Under the leadership of the team leader, everyone found a seat to sit down and rest. After Qingfeng Li sat down, he took out the toilet paper he bought before going abroad from his bag and prepared to go to the toilet.

The moment Qingfeng Li stood up, Sun Yicai, who was sitting next to him, nervously pulled Qingfeng Li's arm: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to the toilet. Didn't you see me taking toilet paper?" Qingfeng Li shook the toilet paper in his hand and said in confusion.

"I know you have to go to the toilet, and I also want to go. Don't you have to tip people when going to the toilet abroad? Just bear with it and wait until you get on the plane."

Hearing this, Qingfeng Li's mouth twitched. What's going on? Who will charge you a tip if you use the restroom at the airport's public facilities?

Looking at Sun Yicai, who was sitting in the airport seat with a sullen face, Li Qingfeng smiled and patted his shoulder, and explained patiently: "Don't worry, Old Sun. The toilets at the airport are public facilities. No one will ask you to use them." tip"

"Don't fool me. The teacher told me during the training that in a capitalist society, you have to tip everything you do," Sun Yicai said with a look of disbelief.

"What did you learn in class? What the teacher said is that providing services requires people to consume them. What services can others provide you when you go to the toilet? Help you hold the bird while you pee? Or wipe your butt after the bath? "

"You are vulgar"

The conversation between the two alarmed the team leader. After the team leader came to understand the situation, he told everyone that there is no need to tip when using the toilet. Those who need to use the toilet can go in batches.

With the team leader's permission, Li Qingfeng, who was in a hurry to go to the toilet, rushed out first and found the airport toilet according to the signs.

After lining up to go to the toilet, everyone was a little tired after taking such a long long flight. They all rested on the seats at the airport, and soon they all fell asleep.

The American plane started boarding at ten in the morning. In the morning, the embassy in Paris came to contact Li Qingfeng and the others and arranged for everyone to have breakfast at the airport restaurant. Of course, the cost of the breakfast was paid by the embassy.

Before everyone left the country, the country only gave each person one dollar as a tip during the flight. This money would definitely not be enough to pay for breakfast. If people from the embassy hadn't come to contact them, otherwise Li Qingfeng and the others would have to Boarding the ten o'clock plane hungry.

After saying goodbye to the embassy staff, the group boarded the American Airlines plane and set off for New York International Airport.

Different from domestic flights, the stewardesses on American planes are all blond and foreign girls wearing short skirts. The passengers on the plane also include some foreigners. The group of people except Qingfeng Li are very restrained and pick up their clothes one after another and get on the plane. The newspapers were provided and I didn’t dare to look at these boldly dressed foreigners.

Qingfeng Li was actually very interested in the flight attendant's long legs, but at this time, the people sitting on the left and right sides were all international students, and Qingfeng Li couldn't appreciate it, so he could only pick up the newspaper and read it boringly like everyone else.

After eight hours of flight, the plane stopped at New York International Airport, and Qingfeng Li and others officially set foot on American soil.

　I will update it temporarily today to sort out my thoughts.
