Chapter 51: Going Abroad
On July 29, Wei Ting's visa came down...... At this time, the visa is not easy to handle, one is the English problem of the Chinese people, and the other is the tendency to immigrate.
There are many Chinese people who feel that their English is great when they go abroad, only to find that their Chinese English is even worse than other people's foreign Mandarin...... That's not the worst, though. In the eyes of Westerners, China is a poor and backward country, and all Chinese have a tendency to emigrate, so until later generations, although China has gradually become stronger, many people still look at Chinese and people from third world countries with colored glasses.
However, Wei Ting has a lot of experience in dealing with these forensic officers, so she passed smoothly, and then began to pack up and prepare to go...... The original plan was for Wei Ting to go over with her mother Luo Yuting, after all, she was only a few days old and only sixteen years old, even according to the laws of the United States, it was not enough for adult standards. However, the preparatory work of the radio plant is at a critical moment, and the training and assessment are ...... There is a lot of everything, although some new employees have been recruited to help deal with it, but many things are really difficult to deal with if Luo Yuting is not there. In view of this situation, after Wei Ting and her mother consulted, Mark Brown. Ford took the lead and hired an agent in the United States to take care of some of her affairs in the United States.
"Tingting, did you call that foreigner?"
"Tingting, bring more ...... to eat"
"Tingting, what's the weather like over there, bring an umbrella ......"
……
Where is the send-off, I feel that marrying my daughter is nothing more than that, Wei Ting feels both funny and moved...... There is a faint wisp of warmth lingering in my heart.
"Mom, everything is connected, and you don't need to bring so many things, the security check at the airport is very troublesome."
Mom stuffed it into the suitcase, Wei Ting took it out, and finally in the mother's chatter and Dad's worried eyes, she rushed out of the house as if she was running away, jumped into a taxi, and said 'airport', and the car immediately sped out, leaving a messy room for Mom to clean up.
In the previous life, Wei Ting flew around the world no less than hundreds of times, and she didn't feel any discomfort, but this time...... When the taxi started, Wei Ting suddenly found that there was a little more concern in her heart. She couldn't help but turn her head, and her mother was still looking at the gate...... Looking up again, there was a figure standing in front of the window, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but Wei Ting clearly read a mood - worry.
"Little girl, is it the first time you've gone far away?" The driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, looked up at Wei Ting in the rearview mirror and asked.
"It's not."
She's really not lying, and with the memories of her past life, she goes out much more often than her so-called travel friends.
"Where to go? Visiting family or studying abroad? ”
The driver's questions seemed to be a lot, but because of the tone, it didn't make people feel annoying, and the kind of reluctance that lingered in my heart was also diluted a lot, and the conversation didn't end until she got off the bus at the airport, and the driver kept helping her pick up her luggage in the waiting hall, and even helped her check in.
Wei Ting's salute was not very much, except for a few changes of clothes and toiletries, it was a laptop and a dozen floppy disks. There are also two novels and two thousand dollars.
Huizhou Airport has not yet opened direct flights to the United States, so Wei Ting has to transfer to Hong Kong.
I went to Hong Kong five times in my previous life, all for work.
Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient, although Wei Ting does not like Hong Kong's air pollution, but has to admire the efforts of those generations of Chinese, to develop such a small place, so prosperous, almost all economic powers have trade with it.
Of course, this is also related to Hong Kong's geographical location advantage, but whenever you stand on the land of Hong Kong...... Even after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, she still felt uncomfortable -- let's say it's China, there are many Hong Kong people who lack a sense of belonging and have great prejudices against mainlanders; Let's say it's a foreign country, even the people of Hong Kong themselves know that it's not.
Fortunately, there was no need to go to other airports for transfers, and after waiting for two hours, Wei Ting boarded the plane to New York, USA.
The plane flew for more than 10 hours, it was dark, eating, drinking, talking to the people around me, but I didn't feel bored, and arrived at New York's JFK Airport at six o'clock in the morning.
In the airport lobby, after saying goodbye to a few compatriots she had met on the plane, Wei Ting turned her head to look for a payphone...... It is said that foreigners have a strong sense of time, and it seems that it cannot be generalized.
"Miss Wei!"
A very loud voice appeared in the airport lobby, and many people looked this way...... Of course, it also includes Wei Ting, so she saw a gentleman-like man in a suit, carrying a sign and rushing over very ungracefully.
"Mr. Ford, I'm here, what's that?" Wei Ting stood still, waiting for Mark. Ford came to a stop and looked at the sign curiously.
"I was worried that you wouldn't see me when I picked up, now ...... It's useless anymore. "Mark. Ford shrugged, slipped the sign into a nearby trash can, and held out his hand to Wei Ting: "Welcome to the United States." ”
"Thank you!" Wei Ting reached out with Mark. Ford gave him a light grip and let him take the suitcase.
"China and the United States are in two hemispheres, so the time difference has a big impact, right?" Mark. Ford asked with concern.
"It's alright."
Wei Ting looked at the flow of people around with great interest...... Especially those women. Their clothes were not the same, they were colorful, long skirts, shorts, bare feet, sandals, high heels - the bottom of the thick rain was 'high' from heel to toe. There are also jeweled 'ladies', with a few bracelets on their wrists, a few rings on one finger, necklaces around their necks, and almond-shaped fingernails, toenails, and lips, all of which are a black shade of red.
In the corner stood a teenage man and woman, the boy licking and kissing the girl's face and neck; The girl was wearing a three-point summer dress, sticking to the boy's body, tears flowed in a mess, and it was difficult to part with a pair of little lovers...... Unknowingly, Wei Ting has followed Mark. Ford and the crowd made their way to the outside of the airport.
"You wait here, I'll go get the car over." Mark. Ford said, putting down his suitcase.
Mark. Ford's car is a black Cadillac, which has a very heavy feeling, but it is not suitable for girls to drive, the trunk is placed in the back, and Wei Ting is sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Mark. Ford skillfully drove the car, rushing from one traffic to another.
"Miss Wei, if you don't mind, just stay at my house, Jenny has already cleaned up the room." Mark. Ford said, turning his head.
"Thank you." Wei Ting thanked again.
