When Li Qihua talked about the itinerary of the national finals with the uninvited guests, in fact, Limu and his party were actually still stranded at the airport gate, or the car had just entered the outer gate of the airport. They need to take a flight at 11:30am, and the Education Bureau bus arrives at the airport at 9:30am, and they have to wait about an hour and a half before boarding can begin.

Pineapple Airport is the largest and only airport in the city, located in the southwestern suburbs of Pingnan District. On this morning, Limu got up at 6:50am and was driven by her mother to the Nanhua Education Bureau at 7:50am. From 8:00am to 8:20am, the person in charge of the team led by the organizing committee will announce the relevant precautions.

The mobilization took place in one of the offices of the General Directorate of Education. The small room brought together students from other urban schools such as Shiliting Elementary School, Xiutian Elementary School, and Sugarcane Ridge Elementary School. There are 2 teachers who lead the team, one of whom is Teacher Zhou, whom Riki knows, and there are as many as 10 parents who accompany them. Li Xiuli also participated in the final mobilization meeting, made friends with the accompanying parents, and asked them to help take care of Limu.

Of course, Limu does not need to be accompanied by a parent. But since his mother and his mother hadn't been to BJ once, they arranged for their parents, Mo Moxin and Katsuo to fly to BJ after the game. Da Shengnan's family conditions have been much more relaxed since he followed Limu, and now he can travel to the national capital, and Da Shengnan's mother readily agreed. However, the gambler's father did not seem interested in the trip......

After the office was mobilized, the students of the participating team said their final goodbyes to their parents. At 8:30am, the bus takes students from the General Department of Education and takes a fast ring to the highway on the southern border of Pingnan.

The journey was a new – or even a frightening – for the children in the room. Especially for children like Limu who are not accompanied by their parents, their first long trip is from the Tropic of Cancer to BJ. Even adults find it uncomfortable, let alone 12 or 3-year-olds.

Their eyes wandered out of the car window in confusion.

The long highway seems to have no end, with steep hills on both sides and concrete anti-landslides to prevent landslides. The pine trees stretch along the sloping slopes, rising and falling like waves passing through the car windows. The seemingly green sea of trees has long been covered with a layer of mud on the road, and you can't see it if you don't get closer, and you can't feel it without touching it. Compared to the real green, the outsole is still covered with a layer of gray veil.

There is not much dust on the highway surface, and the dust on the ground has long been blown up the slope by the speeding vehicles. Therefore, the morning breeze that has not yet been sun-drenched is quite refreshing, but it only takes a little gap to open it, and the whirring wind will pour into the car through the gap. The slanting morning sun caused several noble ladies accompanying the children to draw up the curtains. A thin layer of taupe fabric darkens the inside of the bus, and the gray-white cement anti-slide wall continues to move forward.

The irritability disturbed the teenagers and girls who went to the banquet alone. They knew they were heading towards a transit point and were preparing to fly farther from home, away from the land where they had been born and raised in Jiangnan Province. The heavy heart has been brewing in their hearts...... Until one of the fathers screamed—

"Son, look, pineapple field, that mountain is full of pineapples." One of the accompanying fathers patted his son on the head and told him to turn towards the window.

The pupils of the boys and girls narrowed again, turning from pale black back to bright black, and their wandering eyes also recovered a little.

Outside the window, the gray concrete slope suddenly turned into a wall only one meter high, and the sloping mountain that blocked the view was suddenly replaced by a low slope. Outside the car window, the vast green pine forest disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a yellow mud field that gradually stretched into the distance, with a plant planted every half a meter on the ground.

"Dad, don't pineapples grow on trees?"

"It's in the middle of that kind of leaf, and if you look closely, the pineapple in the middle is ......."

When the father who accompanied him said this, everyone looked towards the pineapple field, and among the plants that looked like iron trees, it seemed that they could really see a small pineapple. I longed for it, so I thought how nice it would be if I could get out of the car and steal one or two to go home, and the pineapple field looked like no one was watching.

Limu looked at the windows on both sides, and the slopes on both sides of the highway had been converted into slopes, and the pineapples were planted in the fields by the growers.

Pineapple is a very hardy plant and requires little to no management once planted. In order to save land resources, pineapples are generally planted on a gentle slope of 10~30 degrees. Of course, more sloping slopes can also be planted, but slopes that lack vegetation are prone to landslides, and traffic accidents outweigh the losses.

Nanhua is a city on the Tropic of Cancer, with pineapples, sugar cane and dragon fruit on the outskirts. Among them, the amount of sugarcane produced is the largest, and there are two large sugar factories in Nanhua City, which produce enough sugar to supply several surrounding provinces and cities every year. When the car passes through the pineapple field, the next gentle slope is planted with sugar cane.

The boredom in the car was dispelled a little by the fruit plants that could not be seen or touched. The leading teacher took the opportunity to drive the atmosphere, so that the children should not be shy in front of their parents, and used various methods to increase the cohesion of the young players in the Jiangnan Provincial Division. Since there was an introduction meeting yesterday, there was no repetition on the bus.

The teacher who led the team first opened with a joke...... Soon after.

Under the organization of the teachers of the organizing committee, melodious singing came out of the car.

"Let's swing the sculls.

"The boat pushes away the waves.

"The beautiful white tower is reflected in the sea,

"Surrounded by green trees and red walls.

"The boat is gentle, floating in the water.

"The wind is blowing cool~~~cool~~~......"

No matter how weird the yin and yang are, Riki thinks it sounds neater than when more than 50 people squeeze into a bus during a spring outing.

With the singing as the song played, the bus made it through the last stretch of the mountain and finally arrived at the airport an hour after departure.

Riki, who has been to the airport many times, doesn't find it new, but for most elementary school students, it is the first time that a plane has been so close to the sky, and they have been watching huge planes take off and land from the airport on the bus. After getting off the bus, the more naughty children still pointed to the sky from time to time and shouted, "Look, plane!" ”

The planes in the sky looked much bigger than usual, and the buzzing sound could be heard in my ears. Under the influence of this lively child, the two young elementary school students who pretended to be deep also began to show excited expressions.

The most naughty kid is called Lewis, a brown-haired, white-skinned mixed-race, and he is also a classmate of Wujun Muzi and Li Chengyang, but Li Chengyang did not qualify for the competition. As a blonde mixed-race child, Lewis naturally does not have to worry about being called a "hillbilly", and there is no psychological barrier to shouting everywhere.

However, two of the many happy students did not seem to be very happy and indifferent...... It should be said that it is indifferent, and there is neither fear nor joy. Both of them were children who were not accompanied by their parents, and they slowly got out of the car at the back of the child.

"Muzi, why don't you seem to be interested?" Lewis's mother, Jyoti, asked.

There are only six children in Nanhua City, four of whom are accompanied by parents from Tianmang Primary School and one from Qingshan Primary School. But now it seems that only Jyoti is the only one who earnestly implements the entrustment of Wujun Coriander and Li Xiuli for the time being.

"Airplanes are just one manifestation of the aerodynamic principles of fluid mechanics." Muzi said in an indifferent voice, indicating that he was just not interested in airplanes.

"Riki, you can't ...... anything"

"Mrs. Liu, don't worry about me, it's just that I'm not interested in flying objects other than flying saucers." Riki smiled slightly at the American lady, indicating that she was only interested in flying saucers.

Although her real name is Jyoti Fidero, she likes to be called Mrs. Liu or Sun Meixian, and in her self-introduction, she claims to refer to the names of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Meiling. Just as Chinese people like to give a foreign name when they go to a foreign country, she also gave herself a Chinese name when she came to China, and she is proud of it.

After staying in the car for a whole hour, the sense of imbalance of driving at a constant speed was still stuck in the body, and just after getting off the bus and not taking two breaths of fresh air, the teacher led by the organizing committee began to shout-

"Okay, students, please hold hands and line up, we have to count the number of people......"

- Damn, I'm so old and still have to line up hand in hand...... It's embarrassing!

――Anyway, I just counted it once before driving, so could someone still be missing in the car?

"Teacher Zhou, you have too much to do, right......"

When Riki grunted frustratedly about this, his little hand had already been grabbed by Kiko. Lewis and the other person of Tianmangxiao held hands, and the two of Qingshan Xiao held hands with each other, and the rest were naturally Muzi and Limu. However, her initiative surname was bigger, and as soon as the leading teacher's voice fell, she pulled Limu and said, "Brother, don't be afraid, my sister will take you." ”

So Limu had to line up with her, and the ten accompanying parents were scattered on both sides, gathering in twos and threes. Many of these parents also helped the weaker students to carry their luggage, and Limu was the weakest among them, and the welfare treatment he received was not comparable to that of other teenagers and girls.

The twenty-two contestants lined up hand in hand, and the number was clear at a glance, so you didn't have to bother counting to determine the number. The teachers who led the team guarded the team one after the other, forming a wall-like encirclement with the parents. But even under all the best protection measures, they still resorted to intimidation.

"You must hold your hands tightly, follow the team in front of you, it is easy to get separated at the airport, and if you are not careful, you will be abducted abroad!"

A group of elementary school students walking into the airport holding hands makes people feel conspicuous no matter how you look at it, and they can go missing under the eyes of airport staff and many passengers...... This is simply nonsense.

When you enter the ticket hall, the speaker placed in the wall emits a "Ding Dong Ding Ding" prompt sound.

"-Passengers, please note that flight NH6527 from Nanhua to SH is about to take off, please hurry up and board the flight."
