Section 1 Look at the white clouds and go to New York

Finally set off after many postponements.

In fact, this trip to the United States was basically decided as early as the early winter of last year, because my rhinitis had affected my work at that time, so I came to New York this winter.

Everything went according to plan, everything went very smoothly, but the itinerary was changed again and again.

For all these reasons, I rarely mention what the United States has to do with me, and I have a lot of concerns. It is also due to various reasons, in the past few years, my mind has not been all on him, and most of it is not with him. So today, after three years of not seeing each other, I clearly feel that something is wrong between us. It's something I would never have thought I'd ever have.

When I realized it, my heart was shocked. At one time I didn't understand, I was sad, I was very sad. I really can't understand why he thinks of me like that, and he would say something that stunned me. For a while, I felt that my life was lost. For more than a month, I was in a deep state of unease, and suddenly I felt that this person I knew most well was unfamiliar.

When I can't figure it out, I cry aggrievedly, and it's more of despair.

Especially when I decided to go to New York, the struggle was even greater. Emotions and reason tell me that it is right to come to you, but psychologically it is more uneasy. I was worried that we would have more conflicts, that we would hurt each other's feelings, and that my son would leave me with a grudge forever and choose to stay in the United States forever.

I've been reflecting on this time. The problems he is facing now are really my way of training. I am strict in my outlook on life and learning, and I am extremely doting in life. caused him to be psychologically disunited. In other words, he only understands that his life future needs to be worked on by himself, and he does not understand that the quality of life is created by himself. As a result, he will hesitate, and he will not be able to figure out a more accurate direction.

It's troublesome to think about it, too. When life was chaotic, his anger naturally came at me. I can understand all of this, but I really can't figure out a solution......

Come to New York

After many postponements, the trip finally took place. When changing the boarding pass at the Guolian entrance of Xianyang Airport, a woman with a young child who married to Taiwan in front of her had to be released by Air China at the airport due to luggage problems. Seeing that the time to wait for the plane was running out, her problem could not be solved. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I moved her luggage down and told her: I don't have time, you have to do it first if you don't agree. In addition, the staff kept negotiating with you for the flight, and you did not mix accusations in Chinese and English.

"I'm on a flight with you to BJ, and I'll wait for the plane if it's late. She didn't mean to give up her position.

"I have to do it first, the regulations can only check two pieces of luggage, you ask for all three pieces to be transported, the solution is not normal, I am airsick, the international part should be as far forward as possible. "I'm not polite at all.

The staff took over my formalities and told me that there were only three rows to fly to New York, one in the middle of the aisle and one by the window. I looked angrily at this woman who felt very unusual because she married in Taiwan: I was delayed for more than 30 minutes behind you.

And just like that, I sat at the end of the Airbus, and the road was bumpy like a car. Luckily, I sat down with a very friendly young diplomat, which made my journey happy and enjoyable.

Speaking of this diplomat, I really feel that fate is really everywhere. When I was waiting for the flight at BJ, I met a 75-year-old man, who asked me to help her for a long time because of her mobile phone, and because the plane was delayed, I had to provide her with the necessary service when eating lunch provided by Air China. As a result, when boarding the plane, the airport staff came to provide her with special services and did not queue up to get on the plane. At that time, everyone queued up to help her get her mobile phone, and she and I were still sitting. When the Air China staff at the airport saw her off, she asked me to go with her, and I was embarrassed to go to the queue, so the old man pulled my luggage and left. I don't know who this old man is, but I know that after getting off the plane at JFK, I heard the airport horn reminding her to wait where she was and someone was going to pick her up.

Therefore, although I sat at the end, I went up early. So when he came to his seat, he stood there and said, "Between two women."

I looked up when I heard the talk, and he smiled.

After sitting down, he said: "It's good to meet people you know for such a long distance."

"Oh, what did you study?"

"Well, you don't know me, and why did you see me smiling?" he looked a little dazed.

"I laughed when you smiled, haha. ”

"Oh, I'm the one who laughs when you laugh. Ha ha. We all laughed.

This is how fate began, and we talked for about ten hours after a thirteen-hour flight. Along the way, the young diplomat showed his 'charming' diplomatic demeanor. It's just one thing he asked me to do that made me have the urge to 'settle accounts' with him. That is, when filling out the customs form, I, like everyone else, chose not to bring any inappropriate items. He was sleeping and woke up talking about it.

He said, "You still have to choose truthfully what you bring." Because I was spot-checked when I came last year, when my friend asked me to help bring a can of beef sauce, and I was fined. The U.S. rule is that if you declare customs truthfully, he will not be fined, but confiscated. In particular, the more luggage, the greater the likelihood of spot checks.

"Then you can help me bring a luggage, I have food in the box, now change it to fill it out truthfully." "I mean it.

After asking me about the contents of the luggage, he said: "After I get out of customs safely, you can give me two bags." I'll treat you to dinner when you go back to BJ.

Huh? Ha ha.

More than 14,000 kilometers from BJ to New York, I was fascinated by the white clouds on the way, and I barely closed my eyes except for the dark night, and my eyes were burned red by the bright light. Outside the window is the pure world, and we will have 13 hours to live above the cleanliness, shuttling between thousands of miles of white clouds. Looking at it, I was naïve and wandered to other things besides excitement: Could this be the Elysium that a practitioner has pursued all his life? But my eyes were wide open, and I didn't see a single Buddha in thousands of miles!

You said that this Monkey King, who has become a Buddha, why doesn't he stand in the clouds and smile at me, this unsympathetic Sun Dasheng!

It's finally landed. Because I was sitting in the back, I was naturally at the back of the queue when I entered the customs. The friend from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs went through the diplomatic channel, so he entered the customs without pause. When queuing, I found that everyone in front of me chose none on the customs declaration form, and I suddenly thought: I filled it out alone, isn't this clearly for people to be sampled, no, I want to change the original again. Whatever the result, I don't believe in such bad luck.

So, I called the diplomat and told him: You don't have to wait for me in the baggage claim hall, let's go first.......

In the slow queue, I was sleepy and very uncomfortable. When the total number of people at the entire window was less than five, I went through the customs procedures.

At this time, there were no more people in the hall waiting for luggage. I spent my first money in New York and rented a luggage cart for five dollars. When I spent the five yuan, I thought, our country is not as rich as the United States, but the airport luggage cart is free.

Pushing the cart and hurrying to the baggage hall, I saw my eye-catching luggage, which was packed with plastic sheeting, and was being taken off the conveyor belt by the airport staff and stacked on top of several luggage.

I asked the staff to help me put my luggage in the car, and the young black man repeatedly asked me if this black suitcase was yours? I said yes, it was my other luggage. He put it on for me and then put the rest of the luggage away.

As a result, it was unstable, and I couldn't push it away, and another elderly staff member who was carrying the luggage came over: I'll help you.

"Oh, you're Chinese?" I said in surprise. His BJ words are very kind.

"Old BJ people, we are here at Air China to carry luggage in order to serve our relatives more. He said as he sorted out my luggage.

Well, my tears were coming from my eyes, because the other two young porters, who were different from us, were sitting and resting, and he was the only one who kept moving the suitcase down.

He let me push it up, but my luggage cart still couldn't go. He and the two of them worked on the car together, and it was still hard to push. The old man said: You push slowly, and you will soon get to the exit after exiting the customs.

I had to push it along, but the luggage was as heavy as a mountain, and the strength of ten tigers could barely be moved. I'm speechless, what kind of luggage cart is this? And let me spend five dollars. Staggered to the pass. The staff may have seen that I was too depressed, and I received my customs declaration form and let me go without even looking at it.

With a long breath, I pushed it like a crab towards the exit. At this time, I accidentally found that the reason why I couldn't push it was because a box of straps fell from the big black box, and it happened that the wheels were crushing, so I couldn't push it.

God, how can you play such a joke with me? But it's also tragic, how can a strap fall off this box?

After putting it away, it was easy to get to the exit. The family who picked me up saw it and said: I saw you from afar and couldn't walk, it was too hard. Oh, we still have this box at home, huh?

I didn't answer him, and I thought I really couldn't remember anything.

Sitting in the car, on the way to Columbia University, I saw the most beautiful sky in New York, the sky of New York is so beautiful! It is so blue and full of romance, and the beautiful clouds are sprinkled on the sky, so beautiful that I suddenly feel sleepy.

Half an hour later, I arrived at Columbia University's residence, and the first thing I did was to pack my luggage.

Why is the combination lock on this big box missing?

I was shocked: our box airport opened?

"It's normal, don't panic. The family said.

The family opened the box, and he and I were stupid: "What is this?" The box was a mess of old shorts and underwear. After a glance, he quickly closed the box like an electric shock.

I sat down on the floor all of a sudden: "This is not our box! I pulled the wrong box! What should I do, the box contains important materials and important items for my classmates!"

The family said: Don't worry, you usually have others to worry about when you go out, this time you can bring all four pieces of luggage out, the total number is not less, very good. You're so tired, I'll go to the airport right away.

"You go quickly, this luggage may be the pair of rural old people on the plane, they are too difficult, come to the United States to see their grandson, the thrifty old man brought some rags and let me take them away. How anxious they are. "I'm in a hurry.

My family went to the airport, and I fell asleep in bed.

I don't know how long it took, but my family came back with our suitcase. Our boxes were also opened and the combination locks were gone. This is normal. My luggage was left at the airport, and the airport must open the box for security reasons. Just pity the old couple, they didn't take my luggage and wait, maybe the transfer left. I'm sorry old man, I'm sorry.

When we opened our box, there was nothing missing. I smiled wryly and said, "Really, you said that I didn't take a valuable piece of luggage by mistake and came back with a bunch of rags, and if I brought back that foreign ministry worker, it would be worth it!"

"If that's the case, you're in for a big deal, haha. "My family was amused by me.

Hey, I'm so stupid! I didn't notice anything wrong when the box couldn't be pushed, and I didn't respond to your words that God was in a hurry to trap the luggage cart.

Ha ha........
