Chapter 150: Boarding
"You put these electronic watches, calculators, and tapes in the middle layer of our boxes? And the foreign cigarettes, you blatantly put them in the box? What if this is to be found out?"
Chen Liquan asked worriedly.
But Hong Yanwu obviously didn't care and gave such an answer.
"Don't worry, buddy. You don't want to think about who can take a plane? When we board a plane, the flight attendants call you 'chief', and who can check you? This kind of blind spot of thinking was called 'dark under the lamp' in ancient times, and 'the more dangerous the place, the safer it is' in modern times. It was like that last time I came back from Ben Thuong. If it weren't for the large number of passengers in Huacheng Port, or the fear of an accident at the airport where I lost my checked luggage, I wouldn't have bothered to do it......"
Sure enough, what Hong Yanwu said was indeed the truth, when he took a plane in the 80s, there was almost no concept of security check.
When they actually arrived at the "Baiyun Airport" in Huacheng, they found that there was only a notice next to the check-in counter, explaining what things could not be brought on the plane.
When sending luggage, the staff will only occasionally ask what it is for people who are fashionable and look like Hong Kong visitors.
But there were no inspections at all, let alone any security instruments or equipment.
There was no restriction on bringing tea to board the plane, and there were not many thermos cups at that time, and some passengers calmly held a large glass bottle full of tea in their hands, and no one cared about it at all.
And because smoking is allowed on airplanes, lighters and trains can also be brought on planes.
In fact, let's be honest, even if passengers bring guns and bombs on planes this year, it's fine.
Because if it weren't for that, how did the first hijacking of the republic, a year and a half later, happen?
At that time, the hijackers Zhuo Changren and Jiang Hongjun and four accomplices were at an altitude of 10,000 miles, but they aimed their pistols at the captain of the civil aviation plane and held the flight attendants hostage.
Isn't that because there is no security screening process?
Needless to say, Chen Liquan is different from Hong Yanwu.
For him, the experience of flying for the first time must feel very new and exciting.
In fact, for the flat-headed grass people at that time, the only opportunity to see the plane was to see the scene of the national leader and foreign guests walking down the gangway of the plane from the short news clip.
At that time, people had the impression that flying was only a matter for leaders and foreign guests, and had nothing to do with ordinary people.
It is no exaggeration to say that except for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, among the people who came into contact with everyone in the entire Furuli, whether it was superiors, colleagues, parents, relatives and friends, I am afraid that no one has ever taken a plane.
So to have such an opportunity to experience it first-hand, can Chen Liquan not be excited?
In fact, he is not the only one, most of the domestic passengers who took CAAC 131 this time are like this.
I got off the bus in front of the plane on the tarmac by the shuttle bus, and from the moment I boarded the ramp, some people excitedly took out their cameras to take pictures.
Most people have to ask someone to take pictures of themselves or each other.
As you can see, most of them are boarding for the first time.
And after getting on the plane, there are more people taking pictures.
There was a middle-aged cadre-like person who sat in a first-class seat as soon as he entered the cabin.
The flight attendant was stunned and was about to ask, but saw him waving his hand.
It turned out that his companion was taking a photo of him enjoying the first class, and after taking the photo, he naturally followed the guidance and where to sit.
To say that this move is a bit stupid, and it also delays the time of the big guy, but this scene makes Chen Liquan look at it, but he is really a little envious.
He couldn't help but say to Hong Yanwu, "Do you still remember the color news documentary of the prime minister's visit to Asia and Africa? In the movie, the prime minister is sitting in the cabin, and there are still scenes of spinning propellers and blue sky and white clouds outside the porthole next to him." ”
"I thought at the time, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to go to heaven in my life, I really don't know what it's like. Don't say it, it's really sitting today, and it's the two of us sitting together. ”
"It's just a pity that we can't take a photo to commemorate it. Heck, if only we had a camera with us. ”
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"I was negligent. Don't worry, I'll definitely take a picture of you next time. ”
But Chen Liquan shook his head, not very hopeful about it.
"This is a plane, and Yang Zi is not good at being a troublemaker, so I guess this is the time for me. But then again, there are no benefits to not bringing a camera. Don't forget, there are no fixed seats on the ticket, they all have to be arranged in order. If we hadn't come up early, I might have sat by the window. As long as it's not completely dark when the plane takes off, it's worth it to show me how it flies. ”
As for Chen Liquan's contentment, Hong Yanwu also immediately expressed disdain.
He pouted, "Look at what you said, isn't it just a means of transportation, one day in the future, everyone can take it casually." I'll also tell you that sooner or later we'll definitely have our own planes. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want, and you can fly whenever you want. Not to mention taking pictures and sitting by the window, it's not a big deal if you fly the plane yourself. At that point, it will be interesting for the two of us to take another photo. ”
It's a pity that although he never doubted Hong Yanwu's words, it sounded too unbelievable, and Chen Liquan really couldn't believe it.
"Can a private person still have a plane? Can I still fly a plane? Besides, we both have airplanes, so the leading cadres are not allowed to go abroad by rocket?
Hong Yanwu also felt helpless about Chen Liquan's limited imagination. But who made the times so limited?
"Then let's wait for the facts to prove it. But at least you still want to go to the United States, don't you have to fly?"
At the mention of this stubble, Chen Liquan was a little more excited.
However, because the initial excitement has passed. Now he can't help but be a little shaken about this matter.
"Hey, do you think it's really possible? Like me, you can get out if you learn English well? Why do I think about it more and more I realize that it is not so easy to ......?"
Of course, Hong Yanwu gave encouragement and support as always.
"You can rest assured. You can't just learn English, but don't forget, we still have money, so we can. ”
"When you go back, you don't have to study English textbooks. It's too far away from the lives of foreigners, isn't there a new program "follo me" on TV right now? When you go back and buy a set of tapes and textbooks, we'll concentrate on that. ”
"It's a pity that there are no video recorders in China now, otherwise we can record TV programs and watch them whenever we want, which is much more convenient......"
Hearing this, Chen Liquan was really much more down-to-earth. At the same time, he was also interested in the video recorder that Hong Yanwu said could record and broadcast TV programs.
It's just that before he could ask in detail, his attention was drawn to the flight attendants in the cabin.
The plane is about to take off, and according to the procedure, it is time for the flight attendant to demonstrate to the passengers how to fasten their seat belts.
Chen Liquan did it with great interest and Hong Yanwu.
Unexpectedly, our country is really too many self-righteous "smart people".
Some people are presumptuous and take pride in being different from the rest.
Like the neighbor in front of him, there are people who proudly proclaim in public.
"Che, I've been on so many planes and I've never used this thing. ”
As a result, as soon as these words were made, many travelers were not tied to face.
There are also people who only put their seat belts on their waists and release them as soon as the flight attendant passes.
This is the characteristic of the era, domestic passengers not only love to follow the crowd, but also often do not take safety awareness seriously.
In view of the identity of the passengers, flight attendants do not dare to strictly inspect and manage.
It should be said that in the coverage of this sentence, only Hong Yanwu was not affected at all.
He also whispered to Chen Liquan.
Let me tell you, if you encounter air currents during the flight, it may cause a major accident. ”
"For example, there is a practical example in the United States, where a plane encountered a strong air flow over the Pacific Ocean, and as a result, the plane suddenly and sharply dropped more than 2,000 meters. Not only was the flight attendant in service knocked into a vegetative state, but the passenger who was not wearing a seat belt was also thrown onto the roof and seriously injured. ”
"Look at those Hong Kong people, who is not well-dressed? Flight attendants will wait for the plane to take off, and they will also wear seat belts. ”
"You remember, there must be a reason why something exists. You also have to remember that there is a kind of courage in the world called stupidity. For example, You Heng, and Xu Shu's mother, and this one. ”
As soon as he said this, Chen Liquan no longer had the slightest suspicion, but glanced at the arrogant kid in front of him sympathetically.
