Chapter 135: Family Tour of the Capital (Part I)

Dr. Zheng's lecture was aimed at four middle-aged and elderly passengers, and three young people, Qi Jingtao, Su Min and Qi Lin, who had never been on a plane before, were also listening carefully and digesting the precautions she said.

Zheng Yu has rich experience in leading the group, and the carefulness and appeal unique to women in this special profession make the atmosphere in the car very good, and they are full of laughter. Qi Jingtao was most worried that his grandmother and grandmother might get motion sickness, and the car had already arrived safely at Wujiaba Airport in Chuncheng.

Arrive at the airport at less than 9:00 a.m. Sufficient time made Wang Dongmin, who led the team, very calm, and instructed several young people to bring a few luggage, greet the two old men, and enter the airport to rest leisurely. Change your boarding pass, check in your baggage, go through security, and come to the departure hall to wait for boarding.

Grandma and Grandma watched the luxurious airport waiting hall with curiosity, and were even more surprised to see the airport apron and airstrip from the glass windows. Wujiaba Airport has a long history, as early as the Anti-Japanese War was the famous Flying Tigers stationed base, and is still a dual-use airport. In addition to the huge airliners parked on the apron, there are also many smaller military aircraft and a large number of older military aircraft in another area.

Several elderly people curiously came to the floor-to-ceiling glass and watched the various planes parked in the airport through the glass, and those planes that kept taking off and landing. Seeing the plane up close for the first time, the Qi family's eyes were attracted.

Wang Dongmin and Dr. Zheng, who led the team, saw a lot of cute performances of guests who were traveling by plane for the first time. They didn't show the slightest hint of ridicule, but went up and explained to them the difference between the types of planes and the situation at the airport. After all, in this year, there are still very few ordinary people who can travel by plane, and the vast majority of people have never had the opportunity to come here to see the plane up close. These things in the airport are still new to most ordinary people, and they can understand the mood and curiosity of the Qi family.

With the announcement broadcast in the waiting hall, Guide Wang led the Qijia tour group to board the Boeing 747 passenger plane. Wang Dongmin, who is in charge of the Beijing route, is familiar with the airport staff, and when he changed his boarding pass, he actually arranged the Qi family tour group on the nine seats adjacent to each other on the same side. He also cleverly arranged three window seats to the two old men and Qi Zhengming and his wife, so that they could watch the scenery outside the window when they took the plane for the first time.

After the beautiful flight attendant of China Southern Airlines introduced the precautions about escape and taking the plane, the passenger plane had already left the boarding position, taxied in the airport, entered the take-off runway and began to accelerate.

"Xiaotao, the plane just runs and flies?" Grandma looked curiously at the landscape outside the window that was rapidly receding, and nervously asked her grandson who was sitting next to her.

Qi Jingtao held his grandmother's hand, he could feel his grandmother's nervousness, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the plane can only be pulled up and fly into the sky when it runs at a certain speed on the runway." Here, grandma, don't be afraid, relax your body, and you will be fine in a while, just like Dr. Zheng said. ”

Qi Jingtao could already feel the strong thrust behind him, and couldn't help reminding his grandmother. The plane began to pull up, off the ground, and straight into the sky.

Xiao Wang arranged three window seats, Qi Jingtao accompanied his grandmother, Qi Lin naturally accompanied his parents, and Su Min and Dr. Zheng accompanied his grandmother. Su Min herself is also the first time to take such a tall means of transportation as an airplane, and she also explains to her grandmother the take-off of the plane while experiencing it herself. Watch how the landscape on the ground becomes smaller through the porthole, and accompany my grandmother to feel the whole process of the plane climbing to a smooth flight.

When the blue sky hung high and the white clouds hung low, several old people sitting at the window were obviously relieved, still looking at the scenery outside the window with great interest.

"It turns out that the clouds are not that high, and the plane has just taken off and passed through it not long after. …… Oh, the sky is blue, and there is nothing...... Xiao Tao, why are there piles of mountains on the ground,...... Where is that big blue waterhole?......"

Grandma was like a child, she felt new to everything she saw, and kept asking questions along the way. Grandma's questions made Qi Jingtao, who was also taking a plane for the first time, blush, and there were some questions that he didn't know at all, and what he knew couldn't be answered satisfactorily. Fortunately, he also has the tour guide Wang Dongmin by his side, who can deal with his grandmother's 100,000 whys for him. Presumably, Su Min's situation is similar, but he doesn't know if Qi Lin's smart head sitting behind him can cope with his parents' curiosity.

Qi Jingtao pricked up his ears curiously, wanting to hear Qi Lin's voice. Qi Zhengming and his wife are quite reserved, they can hear Qi Jingtao or Wang Dongmin's soft explanation to their grandmother in the front row, they don't bother their daughter too much, they just stare out the window and look at the scenery outside the sky.

At noon on August 27, after nearly two hours of flight, a group of nine people from the Qijia tour group arrived safely at Beijing Airport. With Guide Wang leading the team, Qi Jingtao and Su Min just followed his orders. The rest of the trip does not need them to worry about, naturally there is a good vehicle contact with the Yunnan Pearl Travel Agency to pick up the airport, and send it to the accommodation to rest and eat smoothly.

The itinerary of the Qi family tour group this time, Qi Jingtao didn't have many ideas of his own. He completely followed the advice of his old classmate Liu Yongyi. In the words of Liu Yongyi, who has rich experience in leading groups and has dealt with all kinds of tour groups: take your own elderly people to the capital to play, especially bring the elderly from the countryside who have never been far away to travel to the capital, the itinerary is actually the simplest, and the simpler the better.

The elderly at home don't go to the capital to play at all, not to see any scenic spots, not to observe the prosperity of the big city. They go on a pilgrimage to fulfill a wish buried in their hearts.

Since the old classmate has money, there is no need to think about money for him. Liu Yongyi was very handy in arranging, and he suggested that Qi Jingtao arrange a place to stay less than a kilometer away from Tiananmen. Let a few elderly people eat well, drink well, rest well, concentrate the limited time, and take Tiananmen Square as the center to tour around here.

Liu Yongyi has led many regiments, and he knows that when he goes to the capital, the holy places near Tiananmen Square are the places that the old people want to go to the most. For many rural people of the older generation, there is no other place in the capital that can attract their attention more than that. Especially the rural elderly who go to the capital for the first time, perhaps, they only have such a chance to reach the holy place in their hearts once in their lives.

Regarding the suggestions of their old classmates, Qi Jingtao and Su Min, who have never been out of the province, accepted them calmly. The two of them are very relieved to hand over the itinerary to the travel agency to deal with, but they are required to flexibly grasp the specific itinerary according to the actual situation, and there is no need to arrange it too rigidly.

Qi Jingtao is traveling with his loved ones for the first time this time, and he will definitely not be stingy with money. The funds he gave to the travel agency were very sufficient, and all unplanned expenses were borne by himself, and the travel agency only had to use its own resources to arrange and provide good services. This kind of high-roller, Liu Yongyi, an old classmate, is also very good at handling their internal affairs arrangements. All the requirements of the guests have naturally become reasonable requirements, so that Wang Dongmin, who leads the team, will take Qi Jingtao's opinions first and ensure that the guests are satisfied.

As soon as he settled in the hotel, Qi Zhengming couldn't wait to ask when he would go to Tiananmen Square. Qi Jingtao saw that his mother, grandmother, and grandmother all had the same expectant expressions, as if he didn't have much fatigue from the journey. Inform the team leader Wang Dongmin and Dr. Zheng, and everyone accompanied several elderly people to leave the hotel and walk to observe the scenery of the capital and visit Tiananmen Square a few hundred meters away.

When the familiar and unfamiliar landscapes that have appeared countless times in newspapers, picture albums, movies, and television really appear in front of them, the eyes of grandmothers, grandmothers, and parents show excitement, enthusiasm, reverence, longing, and remembrance.

Qi Jingtao had never seen such fiery eyes from the eyes of the four old men before, and he felt that it was right to take the four old men in the old capital this time. Explained that Su Min and Qi Lin took good care of their grandmother and grandmother, took out the Olympus camera they brought with them, and left enough photos for their families, leaving the most innocent expressions of the four old people, and their rare sincerity and beautiful moments.
