One night in December, a certain waiting hall at the Capital Airport was brightly lit, and more than 50 people, including Zhong Yuemin, were waiting here.

The cadres of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who saw them off talked and laughed with everyone, encouraged them to make deals, and hoped that they would study hard in the United States and return to China as soon as possible to build the motherland.

When it was Zhong Yuemin's turn, the cadres of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly felt numb, "Zhong Yuemin, why did you come back in a military coat?

It's no surprise to be annoyed, look at the black suits and silver gun-tweed coats worn by the others, both men and women, and black leather shoes on their feet. Zhong Yuemin was wearing a sweater inside, a green military coat wrapped outside, a pair of dark blue pants underneath, and brown cowhide boots on his feet.

"Director Zhang, this is the costume I bought!" Zhong Yuemin pretended to be stupid.

Director Zhang was so angry that his nose was crooked, "You go abroad to represent the country, what do you look like wearing like this?"

"Director Zhang, you have also been abroad, I heard that the United States wears everything on informal occasions, is it true?"

"Yes. Director Zhang continued: "But you go abroad for a very serious formal occasion, so you wear it like this?"

"Director Zhang, this flight of more than ten hours, wearing a tweed coat, was wrinkled when I turned back to the United States, and when the Yankees saw it, they would definitely think that we were poor and sour. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"If you wear a military coat, people won't think you're poor?"

"My coat should have been crumpled, if it was too upright, what kind of military coat would it look like?" Zhong Yuemin argued.

Director Zhang was choked up and speechless, and the contact person in the United States saw that there was a situation here, and walked over, "Zhang, is there any problem?"

"It's nothing, one comrade forgot to bring a suit coat. "Director Zhang didn't tell the truth, probably for fear that it would not have a good impact in front of the Americans.

"Is this comrade?" the American looked at Zhong Yuemin.

"Yes, it's him, we're figuring it out. Director Zhang said.

The American carefully looked at Zhong Yuemin's clothes, "good! You have a good taste! You are very fashionable even in New York!"

"Thank you!" Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "It's okay for me to wear such clothes to the United States, right?"

"Sure!As long as it's not a particularly formal occasion, it's okay to wear anything!"

The American asked, "Where did you buy these clothes? I want to get one too!"

It seems that this guy has not been in Beijing for a short time, and even the voice of the child has come out.

Director Zhang was a little crying and laughing beside him, so he had to walk away and go with them.

"Zhang is very good, but sometimes he is too serious!" the American complained when he saw Director Zhang leave.

"Zhang is very good, but sometimes it's too serious!" As soon as Director Zhang left, the Yankees began to complain, "Officially met, my name is Peter." ”

Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Zhong Yuemin." ”

"Can I call you Bell, then?" asked Peter.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, "I want you to call me Yuemin even more, the Chinese surname comes first, and the first name comes last." ”

"I know, but your names are so complicated that I often call them wrong. ”

"It's okay to call it wrong, just call it a few more times. Zhong Yuemin said.

"OK, Yuemin. Seriously, it's the first time I've met someone as talkative as you!" Peter said, "Your countrymen are too... It's too restrained!"

"Yes, you're the right word. Zhong Yuemin said, "But, Peter, you have to believe that one day all Chinese will be able to talk and laugh with you." ”

"What are you talking about?" Peter, a little confused, "is this an idiom?"

"It's an idiom that means "talk lively and jovially." ”

"Oh, I've learned another idiom, I've got to write it down!" Peter pulled out his notebook, "Oh, by the way, Yuemin, you haven't answered me yet, where did you buy this outfit!"

"It's all in the shops in Beijing, and these are very ordinary goods. Zhong Yuemin said.

"Oh, I knew your friendship shop was a conspiracy!" Peter said, "There are a lot of things in it, but they are not used by you ordinary people, but they are more like a scam against us foreigners!"

"No, No, No!" Zhong Yuemin shook his head again and again, "This is not a scam, but a special treatment for you foreigners, if you go to our people's store, you will know that there is a shortage of goods inside, far less than the friendship store." ”

"They won't let me go!" Peter complained, "and they treated me like an alien and wouldn't sell me anything!"

"Haha. Zhong Yuemin could imagine Peter's dilemma, and came up with an idea: "You can ask your Chinese friends to buy it for you, it's really eye-catching that you go by yourself!"

······

The other students in the waiting hall were a little surprised when they saw Zhong Yuemin chatting with Lao Mei, and then they couldn't help but want to laugh when they eavesdropped on what the two were chatting.

Xie Mei stepped forward and pulled Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin!"

Zhong Yuemin understood that she wanted to pay attention to the impact, "It's okay, let's go to the United States, it's full of foreigners like Peter, don't we have to communicate with people?"

Peter said: "Yes, your government sent you to the United States to let you communicate with us, you are all very good, but sometimes too shy, we Americans don't like this." ”

"Thank you Peter for the suggestion, we will definitely pay attention!" Zhong Yuemin smiled.

"Comrades are ready to board the plane!"

The flight attendant finally came to inform, and the international students, who had been waiting for hours for several hours, finally relaxed.

Out of the waiting hall, Zhong Yuemin was shivered by the cold wind, he put his collar up, covered his ears, put his hands in his sleeves, and quickly ran towards the boarding stairs.

Others can't, the tweed coat is not wind-resistant, and the sleeves are narrow, so they can only put their hands in their pockets and quickly run across the boarding pad.

"Yuemin, this is my first time on a plane, what about you?" After Xie Mei sat down, she excitedly studied everywhere, Zhong Yuemin had never seen her so excited.

Zhong Yuemin looked out the window with snowflakes and shook his head, "I don't have either." ”

Everyone sat down and noticed the snowflakes sprinkling outside the plane, "It's snowing!

"I don't know, the hatch is broken, we've been waiting for hours, and now it's snowing, don't we be able to fly today, right?"

"Don't be impatient, I've been waiting for so long, I don't care about waiting a little longer. An older companion said.

"Comrades, please follow my example, fasten your seat belts, the plane is about to take off!" the stewardess announced, and the plane slowly taxied.

"The plane is moving, it's about to take off!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the mere waiting was disgusting.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the airport outside the window silently through the porthole, quietly feeling the weightlessness caused by the acceleration of the aircraft, Xie Mei's face was pale, she was taking a plane for the first time, and the airtight sound insulation effect at this time was very poor, the entire cabin was filled with huge engine sound, and the cabin also trembled violently with the increase in speed.

Zhong Yuemin had made an airplane before, had a similar experience, he was still confident in the reliability of the plane, looking at the trembling Xie Mei, he gently patted the back of Xie Mei's hand, wanting her to relax a little.

Xie Mei turned her head and smiled at Zhong Yuemin, signaling that she was fine, but at this time, the plane suddenly trembled violently, so frightened that Xie Mei grabbed Zhong Yuemin's arm, desperately forced, and held on to it.

Zhong Yuemin was dragged by her and was in pain, and it was difficult to pull her away, so he had to pat her arm to comfort her. Zhong Yuemin glanced and found that almost everyone was leaning back on the back of the seat, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, and not saying a word, obviously everyone was a little nervous.

I don't know how long it took, the plane entered level flight mode, the fuselage no longer trembled, the sound of the engine was a little more stable, and Zhong Yuemin heard everyone exhale a long breath in unison.

"Hey, Mr. Xie!" Zhong Yuemin nudged Xie Mei, "The plane has entered the stratosphere, it's fine!"

Xie Mei raised her head and felt it carefully, "Where are you?"

"I haven't arrived at the place, it's still early!" Zhong Yuemin was a little amused, "The plane entered the stratosphere and flew more smoothly." ”

"Oooh. Xie Mei regained some of her senses, quickly let go of Zhong Yuemin, and combed her hair with her hands, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, I'm a little nervous when I fly for the first time. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, he loosened his seat belt, stood up and stretched, not to mention, the seats on the plane at this time were quite loose.

Xie Mei hurriedly stopped, "Yuemin, how can you loosen your seat belt? Hurry up and fasten it, it's not safe!"

"It's okay, the plane has flown flat, now you can unbuckle your seat belt, isn't it uncomfortable to wear it all the time?" Zhong Yuemin said as he took off his military coat and hung it on the wall of the warehouse, the temperature in the cabin was quite high now, and he had some white sweat on his forehead.

Xie Mei wanted to say something, but suddenly the radio sounded: "Dear passengers, now that the plane has entered a stable flight state, you can unfasten your seat belts, if you need to relieve yourself, there are toilets in the front and rear of the cabin." ”

Xie Mei blushed, it turned out that she was too careful.

"Teacher Xie, I suggest you take off the clothes inside and hang them up, otherwise your clothes will definitely be wrinkled and you can't look at them when you sit all the way. ”

"Huh?" Xie Mei was a little embarrassed, she really didn't expect this, "There are no clothes racks here?"

"You can ask the flight attendants to borrow one, they should have it. Zhong Yuemin said, raising his hand.

The stewardess sitting at the front saw him raise her hand and hurriedly walked over, "Hello, comrade, do you need any help?"

"Hello, can you lend me a clothes rack, her clothes need to be hung up, and give us two more blankets. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. "The stewardess was very polite and quickly went to get them something.

Xie Mei whispered to Zhong Yuemin: "The stewardess is so temperamental! She looks good, and her voice is good!"

"That is, everyone is selected by thousands of people, can you look good at your mother!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
