August 24th.

I don't know, it's not raining anyway. Maybe it's because Gu Xiaoshi got up too early and got out of bed at four o'clock in the morning, but it was still gray outside, and he couldn't see the sky clearly. He couldn't tell if he had fallen asleep last night, sometimes excited, sometimes lost, so he tossed and turned in bed all night. When he walked out of the room, his mother had also gotten up and was busy making breakfast for him.

Seeing Gu Xiaoshi come out, his mother said softly: "Breakfast will be ready soon, you go brush your teeth and wash your face first." By the way, have you packed your things?"

Gu Xiaoshi nodded, he really has nothing to clean up, people study abroad, almost all of them are big bags and small bags, I can't wait to put everything in it, some things can be bought with money abroad, but what I can't buy is the taste of home, and the concern of relatives.

Gu Xiaoshi has a separate room, not big, more than ten square meters, a table and a bed, a bookcase and a wardrobe. The bedding and pillows on the bed are neatly folded, and the study materials on the table are also sorted into bookcases, leaving only a table lamp that has accompanied him for many years, and a photo with his parents when he was a child.

Gu Xiaoshi opened the closet again, trying to check again if there was anything missing. There were a few T-shirts, a light jacket and a pair of jeans hanging in the closet, and two large summer pants stacked underneath, next to a box with a partition, socks on one side and underwear on the other. He didn't take any of this with him, because he had changed his outfit.

It's not a waste of ancient stones, there is indeed a reason not to take it away. The jacket is a bit small, he bought it two years ago, and he wears it almost only in the coldest winter, the jeans have a small hole, they are cut by the beer crate, and they are slightly shorter, maybe they have been worn for too long, and the socks and underwear are damaged to varying degrees, and as for the T-shirts he likes to wear the most, two of them have been turned into tights, and the necklines of the other two have been propped up too much, and if he is not careful, half of his chest will be exposed.

Gu Xiaoshi still decided to be extravagant and add some new equipment to himself, after all, if he wants to go abroad, it is not too simple.

There is a sports goods outlet in the city, which specializes in out-of-season and out-of-season brand goods, Nike, Adi, Li Ning, etc., and most importantly, very cheap. Gu Xiaoshi is 178 tall, with a waist circumference of only 2 feet 4, and looks slightly thin, but because of long-term exercise and helping people move beer, there are still a lot of muscles on his body, and even a few abdominal muscles can be faintly seen.

Gu Xiaoshi bought himself five T-shirts in one go, usually this one wears the most, all of them are round necks, with some patterns printed on the chest, three black and one white and one blue, Li Ning brand, the cheapest one is only 39 yuan, the most expensive is only 59 yuan, I tried a coat of the same brand, it is still black, the size is appropriate, a little more than 100, and I also took two shorts, eight pieces add up to a total of more than 500 yuan; he chose a pair of blue-gray jeans, the waist length is just right, you can wear it after buying and washing, you don't need to change the length of the pants, a domestic brand, 129 yuan after discounting; finally, he bought two bags, one large and one small, one is cross-legged, which can hold a few A4 sized books, and the other is a backpack, which has a large capacity and should be enough for your own luggage. Clothes and pants plus two bags, less than a thousand, coinciding with the store promotion, full 400 province 100, full 750 province 250, full 1000 province 400, just save 250 yuan, Gu Xiaoshi felt that it was very cost-effective, the most happy thing was that he also gave him two pairs of socks for free at the checkout, which even saved the money to buy socks.

Gu Xiaoshi put important information, passport, air tickets and cash into the cross-body bag, he checked it again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he opened the big backpack, which contained the clothes he bought, as well as four bottles of spicy sauce, made by his mother, learned from his grandmother, it is said to be a family handicraft, Gu Xiaoshi's favorite, spicy and fragrant, and added some beef foam and tempeh and soaked cowpeas, and white rice, the taste is mentioned.

Breakfast is my mother's fried green onion pancakes, very fragrant, full of a large plate, a bowl of white porridge with kimchi, and a poached egg, Gu Xiaoshi ate a big meal, then got up and went back to the room to change clothes. He put on a newly bought black T-shirt and jeans, the socks were also new, and on his feet were the pair of jogging shoes that the fat man gave him.

Gu Xiaoshi didn't bring a mobile phone and laptop, so he left both things to his mother. My mother's mobile phone was bought a long time ago, and it was still the kind with digital buttons, and it didn't work from time to time, so she only needed to change the phone card and stuff it into the iPhone. The notebook is for the mother to send and receive emails, international calls are so expensive, Gu Xiaoshi is never willing to call home, now there is a network is too convenient, video calls can be, by the way, you can also use it for your sister, don't look at the children now, there are a lot of things that you know, at what age you started to play with the computer, it's not strange at all.

Although Gu Xiaoshi's new clothes were flat and neat, his mother still stepped forward to help him tidy them up, touched his head, and looked into his eyes.

"Xiaoshi, I won't say much, you have grown up, you should go out and break through, Mom doesn't ask for anything else, just ask you to be safe and healthy, you just need to remember one thing, this will always be your home, no matter how you live outside, you can come back at any time, your sister and I will always wait for you." ”

Mother's eyes were moist, but she held back and didn't let the tears fall, there was no man in this family, and she had to be strong after so many years of being forced by life.

Gu Xiaoshi nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood, but he didn't speak.

I heard my mother say again: "You are a sensible child, you must learn to take care of yourself outside, study is very important, but don't let yourself be too tired, no amount of money can buy a good body." ”

Gu Xiaoshi nodded again, he wanted to speak, but he felt as if his heart and throat were blocked by something......

Staring at his mother's face, Gu Xiaoshi felt sad for a while, his mother seemed to be a lot older, and a few silver threads could be vaguely seen in her hair, which were the traces left by the years. Gu Xiaoshi couldn't help but hold his mother's hand, these hands were rough and dry, perennial housework, the palms and backs of his hands were full of calluses, he knew that his mother was very bitter, and he swore that he must work hard to make her no longer so bitter in the future.

Gu Xiaoshi turned around and walked into his mother's bedroom, his sister was still asleep, or the weather was hot, and her two little faces were red, very cute. Gu Xiaoshi came to the bed, leaned over and kissed his sister's little face, touched her smooth and soft forehead with his hand, and his sister seemed to feel something, stretched her waist, turned her body over, turned her head to the other side, and continued to sleep.

Gu Xiaoshi put on his small bag, picked up the big bag, opened the door, and walked out. After a pause at the door, he turned his head to look at his mother, and after a moment, said, "Mom, I'm leaving!"

Mother nodded, tears slid down like broken threads, Gu Xiaoshi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and turned to leave.

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the dense sewing before leaving, the fear of returning late, who is careless, will be rewarded with three springs.

……

The direct flight from the capital airport to Zurich is 11 o'clock in the morning, and you must go through customs to take an international flight, and you need to arrive at the airport at least two hours in advance;

Gu Xiaoshi sat on the rickety bus, the sky was already bright, and the clouds in the east were reflected red by the morning glow, indicating that today was another good day. It was early in the morning, facing a little river breeze, a slight coolness, Gu Xiaoshi looked at the river rolling under the mountain, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, finally, he also left, just like the fat man and Zhao Chuqing, leaving here to find his dreams.

Gu Xiaoshi went out at half past four and got on the bus at five o'clock, the first bus. The journey from home to the airport, has not been far to the city center, early in the morning, the traffic situation in the mountain city is quite ideal, most people are still asleep, the car on the road is sparse, it usually takes an hour, today it will take half an hour to arrive, including transfers.

Gu Xiaoshi came to the airport for the second time, two days ago, and saw off Zhao Chuqing and the fat man respectively, and today he is himself. There were not many people in the airport waiting hall, Gu Xiaoshi easily found the counter and changed his ticket, he had no luggage to check, and the big backpack was still within the rules and could be taken on the plane. After passing the security check, finding the boarding gate, you can already board the plane, check the ticket, for the first time in Gu Xiaoshi's life, alone, on the passenger plane, he wants to go far away, he wants to go on a wandering.

The first time I took a plane, it was inevitable that I was a little nervous and a little uncomfortable, especially when taking off and landing, the feeling of weightlessness made Gu Xiaoshi a little uncomfortable, but fortunately the road was safe, the plane did not encounter the air flow at high altitude and was turbulent, and landed smoothly at the capital airport.

The capital airport was so big that Gu Xiaoshi couldn't figure out the direction at all, so he had to ask the service staff, and was told that the international entry and exit port was on the other side of the airport building, and it would take several minutes to walk from here. This is not a mountain city, the airport is crowded, so lively, the send-off of travel, crowded with huge halls, I heard that the capital is very interesting, but unfortunately there is no time today, Gu Xiaoshi decided to find a chance to visit in the future, as a Shenzhou person, in his life, he should still go to the capital to see, there are not only the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, but also the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, roast duck and mutton, countless places of interest, endless special delicacies, and of course, the pride of the Chinese nation- The Great Wall, which has always been the place Gu Xiaoshi wants to go to the most.

There are really too many people, just queuing up to change boarding passes and pass customs, it took Gu Xiaoshi's long time, fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly, hurriedly found the boarding gate, has lined up to wait for the ticket to board, more than half of the passengers are foreigners, all kinds of skin and hair colors, Gu Xiaoshi has only seen it on the Internet, so honestly ranked last, anyway, people arrived, the plane couldn't run away.

When Gu Xiaoshi checked in the ticket, the flight attendant looked at him suspiciously, and asked him why he wanted to board the plane from this channel? Gu Xiaoshi didn't know what to do until others told him, and he didn't know that the ticket in his hand was a first-class ticket, which could be entered directly from the VIP channel, without queuing, Gu Xiaoshi suddenly realized, ashamed of his short knowledge, surprised by the luxury of Augustus College, the first class of international flights, he had seen it on the Internet, and the price was not cheap!

The plane is a large wide-body passenger plane, two beautiful flight attendants, respectively from home and abroad, and two handsome flight attendants from different countries, at the cabin door, warmly greeted the passengers who boarded the plane, Gu Xiaoshi showed the ticket, and was introduced into the first class by a flight attendant alone.

First class is first class, the seats are wide and comfortable, spacious and bright, there are only eight seats, divided into two rows on the left and right, two rows in front and back, and each two seats are closer together. Gu Xiaoshi's seat is the one in the back row near the aisle, and there is a window next to him, you can see the large and small planes in the airport through the window, and there is no one in the rest of the seats, and he is the last to come in.

The answer is no, because as soon as Gu Xiaoshi sat down, he saw a woman, no, a young girl, and her seat happened to be the one next to him by the window.
