【207】Have a nice trip
As soon as Jiang Ying finished speaking, he shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not quite like that, right?" Bi Cao Xiaoqiang is a musician and writer, and this Cao Xiaoqiang is an intelligence officer, completely unrelated. ”
Qian Xuesen said with a smile: "This is also maybe, China is so big, there are no characters." ”
After the couple sat down and discussed, they wrote down everything they were going to bring on a piece of paper and began to officially pack it up.
First, a five-day change of underwear, some cash and family jewelry, two sticks of French baguette wrapped in brown paper that are hard and not easy to deteriorate, and two pounds of apples, these miscellaneous items were stuffed into a suitcase.
The other suitcase is not very easy to handle, and Mr. Qian has too many materials and manuscripts, and it is quite difficult to choose. Thinking about his wife's pregnancy again, Mr. Qian was ruthless, so he simply didn't bring any books and materials, only his diary. The rest of the books and materials were all packed in cardboard boxes and left for Ouyang Yu to consign.
Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying finally packed only two large suitcases, a carry-on bag, in addition to the clothes, that is, food and medicine, in order to prevent accidents, they also brought a lot of fetal pills and labor pain relievers to prevent premature birth.
By Wednesday of the second week, Mr. Qian had 11 boxes stacked in his bedroom.
Early that morning, Mr. Qian asked for a leave of absence from the California Institute of Technology, saying that he had important work in Washington and needed to take a week off. Caltech has long been accustomed to Qian Xuesen's leave, after all, it is impossible for a scientist of this level to lie for laziness, and this kind of leave for business has happened many times in the past to these senior scientists who are full of secrets.
Back at home, Mr. Qian parked the car next to his villa and took out two suitcases and stuffed them into the trunk of the car. The next morning, at dawn, Mr. Qian's family of four boarded the bus, including their unborn baby, and drove out of Pasadena to Los Angeles International Airport.
Everything went well, Mr. Qian is used to running around by plane, and this time the family flew to Vancouver, which was not difficult for Mr. Qian. Their generation has endured too much suffering, and even if they are physically spared, they never forget the national shame spiritually, and they are not the kind of nerds who know nothing about the world.
Mr. Qian and Jiang Ying took their children through the airport check-in channel and boarded the plane after a five-hour flight.
As a member of the British Commonwealth, Canada has many Chinese in China, and Vancouver is home to many Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong. After Mr. Qian's family got off the plane, they stayed at the Spring Valley Hotel opened by a local Chinese businessman according to Jihua.
"Xuesen, did you say that tomorrow's boarding opportunity will go well?" Ms. Jiang Ying sat on the sofa in the suite with some fatigue and asked with some concern.
Mr. Qian hurriedly comforted his wife and said, "Xueying, don't worry, there will be no problem, the country has arranged it." ”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Mr. Qian was a little nervous, and quickly got up to open the door.
I saw a couple standing at the door, and the man who looked to be in his thirties politely bowed and said, "Lao Wang, are you here, has the spring wheat been planted at home?" ”
Mr. Qian saw that the other party said the right codeword, and hurriedly invited the other party in.
As soon as the door closed, the visitor introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Qian, my name is Pi Shangqi, and I am here to escort you back to China." You don't have to worry, it stands to reason that even if there is no escort, the journey will be smooth, but the central government attaches great importance to you, especially instructive, to be foolproof. Rest assured, with me, this journey will be foolproof. ”
At this time, the young lady on the side spoke: "Hello Mr. Qian, Ms. Jiang, my name is You Xiaofang, a doctor of medicine who graduated from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, I just graduated last year, I will return to China with you this time, and Ms. Jiang's body along the way will be taken care of by me." ”
When Mr. Qian heard that a female doctor studying medicine and a bodyguard had come all the way, he was very happy and hurriedly invited the two to sit down.
After Pi Shangqi sat down, he explained to Mr. Qian the specific itinerary on the way, including how to get out of the airport after arriving in Hong Kong, how to connect with comrades in Hong Kong, how to transit back to the mainland, and so on.
You Xiaofang sat next to Ms. Jiang Ying, and the two talked cordially. After reading Ms. Jiang's last visit to the hospital for a prenatal check-up report, You Xiaofang told Ms. Jiang Ying that she was in good physical condition and had no problem traveling long distances.
Early on Friday morning, according to Jihua, Mr. Qian's family did not even need to take out their passports after showing the trade certificate of the International Business Federation, and directly boarded the Air Canada flight to Hong Kong, a British colony that is also a Commonwealth dependency.
As the plane took off, Qian Xuesen held Jiang Ying's hand and said, "Xueying, we are on our way." ”
The plane arrived in Honolulu on Friday evening, and after disembarking for dinner, the passengers slept overnight in the airport waiting hotel, and the next morning, with the newborn morning sun, the DC-4 took off again and arrived at Wake Island on Saturday evening, where the passengers checked into the airport waiting hotel again.
Qian Xuesen looked at Jiang Ying, who was slightly tired after the continuous flight, and comforted: "You have to rest well, we will be in Manila tomorrow, and at this time the day after tomorrow, we will arrive in Hong Kong, that is, at the doorstep." ”
Jiang Ying smiled: "It's okay, it's only been a few days, if you want me to say that this is much faster than taking a cruise ship, if you take the sea route and stay on the ship for more than three weeks and twenty days, then it is called suffering." ”
Mr. Qian nodded and said, "I'll ask You Xiaofang to do another examination for you and listen to the fetal sound." ”
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and the husband and wife dressed by You Xiaofang and Pi Shangqi came to visit on time to check Ms. Jiang's body.
Mr. Qian said to Pi Shangqi with some concern on the side: "I don't know if Ouyang Yu has started to check my luggage, my important materials and books have been packed and put into the box, and he can see it when he enters the bedroom door." ”
Pi Shangqi said: "Mr. Qian is like this, we Jihua are waiting for you to arrive safely in China, and then let Ouyang Yu go to your house to pack, because this job is more dangerous and easy to startle." ”
Mr. Qian nodded and said: "I gave the nanny a vacation and told her that I was going on a business trip, and Jiang Ying was going to take the child to a friend's house for two weeks before coming back, and before the nanny came back, he had a week to consign." ”
As if realizing something, Mr. Qian asked, "Ouyang Yu won't be in danger, right?" ”
Pi Shangqi lowered his head and did not speak. He wasn't sure if Ouyang Yu would be able to successfully complete his mission.
Every overseas intelligence officer is an arrow, and once the bow is fired, there is no turning back. Either hit the target to complete the mission and wait for recovery, or be found and disappear from everyone's sight. In these years, China's intelligence personnel in the West are very scarce, and each of them is an extremely precious seed, and in order for Mr. Qian to return to China, Ouyang Yu and Pi Shangqi were used at once this time, which can be said to have cost blood.
Seeing that Pi Shangqi didn't speak, Mr. Qian was also a little uneasy in his heart, and for the first time in his life, he said with little confidence: "I hope he is doing well......"
Pi Shangqi nodded heavily, squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, Ouyang is very clever, he used to be in charge of purchasing medicines in the United States, and he has never been caught by Kuomintang intelligence officers." ”
Mr. Money: "Oh. With a sound, he could clearly hear that Pi Shangqi was not sure.
After a night's rest at the airport waiting hotel, another day of flight, the passenger plane arrived in Manila in the Philippines from Wake Island on Sunday evening, and after tonight, the passenger plane will only need to fly 1,000 kilometers for about three hours after taking off early tomorrow morning, and will arrive in Hong Kong by noon.
Jiang Ying's face was obviously happy, and she said happily: "I'm going home soon, Xuesen." It's been a pretty fast ride."
Qian Xuesen was also smiling, and he said excitedly: "I really hope that the passenger plane can fly to Hong Kong in one breath without rest." ”
Jiang Ying smiled: "Then it will have to wait for you, a scientist, to invent a new airplane." It's not early, let's rest early after eating, and when we arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow, we will strive to return home in the afternoon. ”
Mr. Qian took out his flute and played a song looking at the south of the Yangtze River, expressing the joy in his heart.
At 10 o'clock on Monday morning, Qian Xuesen's family arrived in Hong Kong, Mr. Qian took out his Chinese passport, and the family successfully passed through the airport customs. In the column of the reason for entry, Mr. Qian filled in the return to settle in China.
As soon as Mr. Qian and his family got out of the airport, they boarded the Haode car that had been prepared for a long time and went straight to the Kowloon Railway Station. In the car, Mr. Qian's family simply ate some bread.
In order to prevent the sabotage and even assassination of Taiwan's hostile elements in Hong Kong, in addition to You Xiaofang and Pi Shangqi, who returned to China together, two other comrades stationed in Hong Kong also returned to China with Mr. Qian.
Looking at Mr. Qian's Chinese passport, the British inspectors at the Kowloon Railway Station did not react, this line is basically unilateral, and the Chinese passport holders return to China from here, and it is very difficult to obtain permission from the British authorities in Hong Kong to enter from here.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the train rumbled off, and an hour later, China's biggest scientist returned home safely with his family and fled in victory.
At this time, the United States did not know that Qian Xuesen had returned to China.
Originally, the government wanted to issue an immediate announcement announcing Mr. Qian's return to China, but considering that the United States still had more work to do, it temporarily abandoned this plan.
Ouyang Yu received a phone call from Vancouver on Monday, and the other party said only one sentence: "The water is boiling." ”
A smile appeared on Ouyang Yu's face, and he immediately drove a rented truck to Mr. Qian's villa and began to carry the books and materials that had already been packed in Mr. Qian's bedroom. Fortunately, Ouyang Yu was not noticed, and a full eleven boxes of books and materials were loaded onto trucks and immediately transported to the shipping company in the port of Los Angeles, where they were shipped, and the materials were transported to Hong Kong on a cruise ship and then transferred back to China.
