During the flight, Ma Chunhua was in a state of excitement, lying on the porthole to look at the blue sky and white clouds, looking at the mountains and rivers below, and greeting Chen Bei from time to time: "Look, is the river below the Dawang River in our county?" ”

Chen Bei didn't bother to pay attention to her, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Ma Chunhua was sitting in the middle of the plane, just in time to see the propeller, she suddenly found that the propeller under one wing was not rotating, and hurriedly pushed Chen Bei: "Look at it." ”

Chen Bei opened his eyes impatiently, and at a glance he saw that the engine was out of order, and he immediately unbuckled his seat belt, looking nervous.

The plane began to tilt, the passengers looked frightened and confused, and the flight attendant came to explain: "Please don't panic, there is a small glitch in the plane, and we are dealing with it." ”

A middle-aged passenger stood up: "I want a parachute!" ”

The flight attendant said, "Please sit down, don't get excited." ”

The middle-aged passenger rushed to the flight attendant: "Give me a parachute, I don't want to die!" ”

As soon as he made such a fuss, the other passengers also panicked and asked for parachutes.

Chen Bei said to Ma Chunhua: "You sit down, if there is a situation, hold your head in your hands and raise your legs." ”

Ma Chunhua had never seen Chen Bei speak to herself so seriously, and nodded vigorously: "Well, I know." ”

Chen Bei stood up, walked to the middle-aged passenger, patted him on the shoulder, and as soon as the middle-aged man turned around, Chen Bei punched him over, right in the door, and beat him to the ground and fainted on the spot.

"Sit down, if you move around, the plane will fall immediately, and no one will want to live!" Chen Bei shouted sharply.

The passengers were panicked, but they sat down obediently.

The flight attendant glanced at him gratefully and said, "Comrade, you can also sit down." ”

Chen Beidao: "I'm an Air Force pilot, what can I help?" ”

The flight attendant said, "Great, please go to the cockpit and have a look." ”

Chen Bei came to the cockpit, the co-pilot was in a hurry, the captain turned around, found that it was Chen Bei, and said in surprise: "Chen Bei, why are you!" ”

"What a coincidence." Chen Bei recognized this as a former colleague of the Kuomintang Air Force, who had revolted a year before him.

"The engine on the right side is stalled, and I suspect it is a mechanical failure or an oil circuit failure, and I want to check it, but the plane is not in control." The captain was anxious and glanced at the co-pilot.

The co-pilot is a novice and is obviously not up to the task.

Chen Beidao: "I'll help you drive, you go down and take a look." ”

The captain said, "Okay, you come." ”

The co-pilot shouted, "Who is he, can he do it!" ”

The captain said: "Damn, if he can't do it, you can't do it, he's an ace!" ”

Chen Bei's heart is warm, no one has called himself an ace for a long time, he wants to prove that he has not been abolished, and he is still a real ace pilot.

Chen Bei took over the plane, and although he had a prosthetic leg installed on one of his legs, it was no big problem for flying the plane, and he quickly straightened the angle and began to fly smoothly.

Suddenly, the plane encountered a turbulent air current, the plane shook violently, and the co-pilot's face turned white with fright, but Chen Bei was indifferent, he said calmly: "This air flow is far worse than the Hump route." ”

The captain took the tools and checked them, and he was tired and sweaty, and it took an hour and a half to finally remove the malfunction and the engine was back running. The crisis was lifted, Chen Bei returned to the cabin from the cockpit, everyone applauded in unison, and Ma Chunhua proudly said to the person next to him: "That's my man!" ”

Although troubleshooting, for the sake of insurance, the plane landed at Jinan Airport, and after landing safely, the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration came to thank Chen Bei, and Ma Chunhua was also very proud.

After spending the night in Jinan, the civil aviation completely overhauled the plane, and continued to fly to Beijing the next day, this time there was no more danger, and successfully arrived at Beijing Nanyuan Airport.

The Chen family has a house in Beijing, but it is usually empty, and it is too troublesome to clean it if you want to live, so Chen Bei chose to live in the Beijing Hotel, and after showing the letter of introduction and marriage certificate, he registered a standard room, Ma Chunhua asked how much it cost to stay for one night, and Chen Bei said that it was only twenty yuan.

"Obediently, it costs twenty dollars! Half a month's salary for ordinary young workers, I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore. Ma Chunhua picked up her luggage and left, the hotel waiter looked sideways, and Chen Beibei was embarrassed.

Coming out of the Beijing Hotel, Ma Chunhua was still speechless: "It costs 20 yuan for a night's sleep, it's too tricky, the county carriage and horse shop only costs a dime, and even the county party committee guest house only costs 5 cents, why do you need 20 yuan here." ”

Chen Bei couldn't cry or laugh.

Suddenly, Ma Chunhua stood on the side of the road and shouted: "Look at you, there are braids on the head of the bus!" ”

Chen Beidao: "Don't shout, it's a tram." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "I heard my father-in-law say that our family has relatives in Beijing, so it is better to go to a relative's house to borrow it, and the rest of the money is better to buy them some fruits or something." ”

Chen Bei thought that his father had indeed explained that he would go to see Uncle Xue after he arrived in Beijing, so he agreed: "Okay, go to Uncle Xue's house first, and I'll call a car." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Far from it? Let's not go far. Seeing that Chen Bei's face was not good-looking, he blamed himself in his heart, how could a man walk a long way with bad legs and feet, so he quickly changed his words: "Call a car, just call a car, whatever you want." ”

In the early days of liberation, public transportation was underdeveloped, and there were many three-wheeled people who pulled their feet, Chen Bei called one, climbed up and sat down, and put the suitcase up, so there was no place for Ma Chunhua.

"It's okay, I'll just run." Ma Chunhua said.

So, the three wheels pedaled in front, and Ma Chunhua trotted behind, attracting a lot of attention along the way, Chen Beimian was red-eared and didn't dare to raise his head.

Came to the Xue family in the hair alley, the brand of the Ziguang car factory was long gone, the door was cleaned cleanly, and he stepped forward to knock on the door, it was Sibaolai who opened the door, and heard that this tall and handsome young man was the son of Uncle Chen, and immediately exclaimed: "Mother, there are relatives here." ”

Xing'er hurriedly came out to greet her, and when she learned that they were here to travel and get married, she immediately said: "It's right not to live in a hotel, the family has a ready-made house, how good it is to have the money to buy a roast chicken and eat it in your stomach." ”

When it was time to get off work, Baoqing came back, he is now a full-time cadre, the people's representative in the district, his waist is much straighter than before, and his voice is much louder.

"Just live at home, a new quilt and a new mattress ready-made." Bao Qing Road.

Baoqing and his family especially admired Ma Chunhua, and praised Chen Bei for his vision and blessing to marry such a good daughter-in-law.

The pork and cabbage-filled dumplings they ate for dinner, that night, Chen Bei and his wife lived in the Xue family's wing, covered with a brand-new bedding that was originally prepared for Da Shu's marriage.

The next day, Baoqing went to the transportation company to ask for leave, borrowed a three-wheeler, and personally took Chen Bei and his family to visit Beijing, and the first stop was naturally ***.

Seeing the city tower, the portrait of Chairman Mao, and the slogans on both sides of the gatehouse, Ma Chunhua shed tears of excitement.

There are stalls for taking pictures in the square, and many people from all over the country line up to take pictures, Ma Chunhua also wants to take pictures, Chen Beidao: "What are you doing to make a scene, I brought a camera." "I took out my Zeiss camera imported from Germany from my bag and took off the lens cap.

Ma Chunhua was a little restrained, but after a while, she let go, happily like a child, posed a lot for Chen Bei to take pictures, and found someone to help her take a few group photos with Chen Bei.

Next, I visited the Palace Museum, and the magnificent momentum of the Forbidden City completely shocked Ma Chunhua, and then she was deeply angry: "The emperor spends an unknown amount of people's fat and ointment, and he enjoys it for himself, which is really a great crime." ”

Baoqing smiled: "Speaking of the emperor, your father-in-law and Emperor Xuantong are still friends." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Huh? My father-in-law is friends with everyone. ”

Baoqing said: "Isn't it, your father-in-law is a legendary figure, he made an appointment with Pu Yi back then, and finally won the titles of Yellow Jacket and Blue Feather Guard, he didn't talk about this?" ”

Chen Beidao: "I haven't heard my father say it." ”

Bao Qing said: "Your father is still a disciple of Liang Qichao, a student of Gu Hongming and Liu Shipei, Xiong Xiling's New Year's friend, those things back then, I really couldn't finish talking about them for three days and three nights." ”

Ma Chunhua stared at her confused eyes, she didn't know any of these names.

Baoqing said: "Oh, by the way, he also pulled the car for Mr. Li Dazhao." ”

"Oh, my father-in-law knows Li Dazhao!" This time, Ma Chunhua became excited.

Bao Qing smiled: "No, your father-in-law knew a lot of friends in Peking University Hall back then, and there was one that you couldn't have dreamed of." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Uncle Xue, don't sell it, just say it." ”

Baoqing said: "That's Chairman Mao." ”

Ma Chunhua's mouth opened wide and couldn't close it anymore, her father-in-law turned out to be Chairman Mao's old friend of his old man for decades, which was really shocking.

After visiting the Forbidden City, Uncle Xue took them to Houhai, Lama Temple, Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace and other places of interest, and tasted all kinds of snacks in Beijing, Quanjude roast duck, Donglaishun mutton, bean juice coke ring, fried beans and stewed, tasted all over again.

After playing in Beijing for a week, it was finally time to go back, Baoqing bought a lot of gifts for the little couple to take back, and Ma Chunhua was moved to tears.

"The two of us will have to move around often in the future, and we will come to Beijing if we have nothing to do." Baoqing and Xing'er said so.

On the way back, I took the train, and Chen Bei bought a soft sleeper, and took advantage of the time on the marriage leave to go to Shanghai to play again.

There are also people here in Shanghai to receive them, Aunt Jianbing stays in Shanghai all the year round to manage the Chen family's industry, and Uncle Li Yaoting is also an elder who must be visited.

But unfortunately, Li Yaoting is not in Shanghai, I heard that he went to Hong Kong not long ago to visit relatives, Uncle Li's two sons and daughters studied in Britain in the early years, and then they never came back, and after liberation, they did not dare to come back, and went to Hong Kong to develop.

Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua visited the Bund and Huaihai Road in Shanghai, and lived in their own garden house at night, bread and milk for breakfast, steak and red wine at noon, and Shanghai local cuisine at night.

The marriage leave was about to run out, the two embarked on the way home, and the steamer back was in a luxury second-class cabin, Ma Chunhua was full of emotion: "It's too difficult to live such an exploitative class life all day long, and not to be corrupted." ”
