Chapter 1046: A Small Shock in Nanyang (First Update, Please Subscribe)
On December 12, a C1 aircraft took off from Hong Kong Island and arrived over Chang'an. Due to the good weather, the entire city of Chang'an was directly in people's sight.

Although it was his first time on a plane and he felt a little scared, Ni Cong still straightened up and looked out of the window.

But after just one look, like many people, he opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and could not believe what he saw - what appeared before him was a magical and even bizarre city.

On one side is the blue sea, on the other side is the land. On the land and the bay, skyscrapers are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. Those skyscrapers seem to be inlaid with gems, shining brightly under the sunlight. That light is not monotonous gold, but refracts colorful colors as the angle changes, like magic, covering the whole city in a special magical color.

"Oh my God, this is Chang'an!"

Even though he was from Shanghai and had seen the world, Ni Cong was still stunned by the city before him.

I was so speechless that I couldn't speak for a long time, and even when I passed through customs, I was still in shock.

Compared with other people in the refugee camp, Ni Cong was undoubtedly lucky. He had the opportunity to come to Nanyang because his younger brother Ni Yiping studied aviation at Yongan University. Because he had relatives in Nanyang and his relatives were willing to provide guarantees for him, he was able to come to Nanyang.

Although he did not have a passport, Ni Cong was still able to pass through customs smoothly with the help of the visiting permit issued by the consulate.

In the past few years, Nanyang has been tightening its immigration policy. It is not that Nanyang does not need population, but it is afraid of losing the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, especially in Malay, Surabaya, Mindanao and other regions with a large Chinese population. After all, it is not enough to have Nanyang in South Asia, and appropriate tightening of immigration is necessary, which directly leads to many immigrants from Hong Kong Island and other places being unable to enter Nanyang.

Only those with a visiting relatives certificate can enter Nanyang. According to the normal process, they can stay in Nanyang for one year. If they are admitted to university during this period, they can obtain a student visa, and then they can obtain a work visa before they can finally become citizens.

The reason for setting these thresholds is to ensure that the Chinese population in Southeast Asia can maintain a certain level in various countries and regions, thereby ensuring the influence of the Chinese.

As he walked out of customs, he saw his third brother Ni Yeping among the crowd of people waiting to pick him up at the airport. He was holding a pick-up sign in his hand. When they saw each other from a distance, they shouted excitedly.

"Yiping!"

"Second brother!"

Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, they still recognized each other when they met.

The two people who had not seen each other for many years hugged each other excitedly, and then Ni Cong looked behind his brother, as if looking for something?
"Mom and Dad didn't come?"

Originally, he thought that his parents would come to Nanyang from Hong Kong Island to pick him up. After all, he had already spoken to them on the phone when he was in Lantau Island. It was his parents who acted as the middleman and let his younger brother know about him, and they also issued the corresponding procedures, so that he had the opportunity to come to Nanyang.

"Air tickets are still quite expensive. Dad means that you should stay in Nanyang first, prepare your homework, and then apply for a student visa after you are admitted to university. After the formalities are completed, you can take a plane to Hong Kong Island to reunite with your family. These few days are not a big deal at this time."

While explaining, Ni Yeping took the luggage bag from his second brother's hand and asked.

"How is it? Has the journey been smooth?"

"It went smoothly. The money was spent, and those people naturally arranged everything."

The two brothers walked outside while chatting, and soon they arrived outside the airport. As soon as they got out of the airport, Ni Cong was stunned by the streets in front of him - the roads were full of cars. Even in the downtown area of ​​Shanghai, there were not so many cars.

"Yiping, why are there so many cars here?"

Seeing his second brother's surprised expression, Ni Yeping looked around with some confusion and said.

"A lot? This is the airport, it's a bit quiet. The city is more lively."

what?
Isn’t this a lot?

The traffic made him a little suspicious.

Soon, the two brothers got on a bus. As the bus was moving, Chang'an appeared in front of Ni Cong - those skyscrapers, wide streets, busy transportation hubs, and pedestrians and vehicles shuttling through them, all seemed like a magical world, slowly unfolding before his eyes.

At this moment, Ni Cong was completely attracted by the city. When this prosperous scene came into his eyes, he looked at the cars on the street and the pedestrians on the roadside, and was speechless for a long time.

"Brother, how do you feel about this place?"

"It's different from what I imagined..."

Looking at the city outside the car window, Ni Cong said.

"In the past, I heard about this place from newspapers. They said that Nanyang was a country ruled by big capital and big chaebols. The people here were living in dire straits. None of them had their own houses. They lived in leaky houses provided by capitalists. They were exploited by capitalists. They worked as cows and milk producers in capitalists' factories. They worked hard all day but could not eat enough or wear warm clothes. Even children had to sell newspapers and milk to feed themselves, otherwise they would starve..."

"fart!"

Suddenly someone in front interrupted him and said.

"How can you lie with your eyes open? Who here doesn't have enough to eat? Who doesn't live in a small Western-style building? Even if it's poor, it's still an apartment. Who can't afford to feed their children? Delivering newspapers and milk is a way for the children to train themselves and earn pocket money. When they go to school, not only does it cost money to go to school, but even food is free."

"That's not right. What is the school meal like? A bottle of milk, a fish, an egg, a serving of vegetables, and a bowl of rice. Isn't that enough? I'm worried that they will be too full!"

For a while, everyone started talking one after another, which made Ni Cong blush. He didn't even know how to explain. Fortunately, everyone didn't argue with him and seemed to be used to it.

After a while, the carriage finally quieted down, and Ni Yeping did not ask any more questions. Instead, Ni Cong just looked out the window at this prosperous and wealthy place.

The prosperity before him gave him an unprecedented shock. Many of his long-formed concepts were impacted so greatly at this moment that only he could feel it.

After a long time, Ni Cong asked with some confusion.

"is that true?"

"what?"

Ni Yeping looked at his second brother in confusion and asked.

"I mean what they said."

Ni Cong said:

"Does every household here really live in a Western-style building? Does every household have a car? And do the children in the school really eat that well?"

When asking these questions, Ni Cong looked at his brother, as if he wanted to hear him tell his people that all this was fake, false, and unreal, and that these people were just teasing him, a country boy.

Yes, he has become a country bumpkin. When he was in Shanghai, people’s favorite phrase to say to him was “you country bumpkin”.

But now?
Being in this city, he felt that Shanghai was just like the countryside, and he was like Granny Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

"Not every household has it,"

Seeing his second brother's uneasy look, Ni Yeping said, fearing to upset him, "About two or three out of ten families have cars."

Only then...

Eyes wide open!

Ni Cong was stunned. What do you mean by 'only then'? Can you explain it to me?
Staring at his third brother, Ni Cong wanted to shout and ask, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into.

“Do they really live in a Western-style building?”

"Yes."

"Students can drink milk and eat eggs, and it doesn't cost money?"

Ni Yiping explained.

"Yes, there are fish and vegetables, and the next day is beef, and the day after that is pork. Five days a week, three meals of fish, one meal of beef and one meal of pork."

Is this a last hit?
Of course not, Ni Yeping was just telling his second brother a fact.

About half an hour later, in a restaurant, looking at the people dining in the restaurant and the smiles on their faces, Ni Cong, who had been a policeman and had come into contact with many criminals on the farm, naturally recognized what that smile was.

It is a smile of happiness, peace and contentment.

There was no desire or excitement in their eyes, only a calm and casual look.

At this time, he turned his gaze to his younger brother. At this time, he found that his brother's gaze was the same as theirs. There was no desire or passion for struggle in his gaze, only a kind of peace and casualness.

Why it came out like this?
Just when Ni Cong was puzzled, his younger brother gave him a plate and said.

"Brother, just pick up whatever you like to eat."

"what?"

Looking at the Western food on the plate, Ni Cong said with a puzzled look on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"This is a buffet. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I don't know what you like to eat, so I took the initiative to come here. Second brother, take a look at what you like to eat. There are all kinds of food here. Just take what you want to eat."

The buffet tables were arranged in an orderly manner like small hills, filled with all kinds of delicacies. The red steaks were placed on the ice like works of art, and the texture seemed to show its freshness and fatness. The seafood area was even more dazzling, with prawns, crabs, oysters... They lay quietly on the ice, as if they had just been caught from the sea, with the freshness and sweetness of the ocean.

Walking in this ocean of delicious food, Ni Cong felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He didn't even know how to describe his mood at this moment.

“Can all these things be eaten?”

"Yes."

"Can I eat whatever I want?"

"Correct!"

“Steak too?”

"Yes."

“Seafood too?”

"Of course!"

"Unlimited?"

"As long as you can eat it!"

Taking a deep breath, Ni Cong looked at the food in front of him seriously, looked at a dessert, then reached out his hand, gently picked up a piece of exquisite dessert, and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth, as if all the beauty of life was in this dessert, in the sweetness it brought.

Is this Nanyang?

In an instant, feeling the delicious taste in his mouth and looking at the mountain of delicious food in front of him, Ni Cong knew that he had finally come to the right place!

Just then, he noticed a voice coming from not far away.

"At 8:12 this morning, the C707 plane you took took off from Chang'an Airport. Your destination this time is Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Unlike previous visits, this time you went to Stockholm to accept the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded by the Nobel Prize Committee..."

Nobel Prize!

Ni Cong was stunned for a moment. He followed the sound and soon saw a box that looked like a small movie. It was playing a movie in color.

"This is……"

Ni Yeping, who was following him, quickly explained.

"It's the TV."

"TV? Is that the box?"

Confused, Ni Cong asked again quickly.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Who is this Excellency? When did he win the Nobel Prize?"

The picture playing on TV at this time was the scene of people seeing Li Yian off at the airport. In the picture, Li Yian was saying goodbye to the people one by one.

Looking at the screen on the TV, then looking at his second brother, Ni Yiping joked:

"Well, he is you, the big capitalist, big landlord, big feudal lord you are talking about. Oh, and he is also a great scientist, a great scientist who won the Nobel Prize!"

what!
For a moment, Ni Cong was completely stunned...
