Chapter 312: Returning Home Urgently
Huang Shi asked the stewardess for a drink again, put it on the tray in front of him, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and found that the 11-hour trip was halfway over, and he could arrive in Beijing in 5 hours.
He took a sip of the drink with his left hand, then placed it on the tray and placed his right hand on it, with a red boxing glove on it. Hey, this glove is really easy to use, Huang Shi thought to himself, he has taken him with him every time he has gone out in the car, and he has not made any mistakes.
So this time he flew back to China, and he brought this pair of red gloves that had saved his life, of course, when he entered the customs security check, those inspectors were naturally full of doubts, but after checking a few times, they didn't find anything strange, so they regarded it as the passenger's personal habit, and let him go.
And when he got on the plane, the passengers and flight attendants who sat next to him would inevitably look at him a few more times, especially the white fat man sitting next to him, who was still relatively vigilant, and often looked at him secretly, for fear that he would do amazing things, such as banging on the porthole of the plane with his fist and so on.
IT'S A PITY THAT AFTER WATCHING IT FOR THREE OR FOUR HOURS, THIS SKINNY CHINESE MAN, EXCEPT FOR ONE OR TWO TOILETS, WAS WATCHING MOVIES ON HIS IPAD THE REST OF THE TIME, SO HE RELAXED HIS VIGILANCE, AND SOME COULDN'T SUPPORT IT, SO HE ASKED THE STEWARDESS FOR A BLANKET AND SNORED DIRECTLY.
Seeing that the passengers next to him were resting, Huang Shi also felt a little tired, he also asked the flight attendant for a blanket, and at first he just took a nap, but maybe because of the red gloves, so he also slowly fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw that two hours had passed, and when he felt the space-time portal in the red glove, he was relieved to find that it was still there.
Huang Shi looked through the porthole and saw the white clouds of the dog outside the window, thinking back on the things he experienced in the past few months, which was richer than the wind and rain he had experienced in the past nearly 40 years, and it could be regarded as a dream in life. It seems that since he went abroad, a person who used to follow the rules has become "doing all kinds of evil", whether this is his nature or the environment, and he can't figure it out for a while.
However, this colorful life could have lasted another month or two, but unfortunately after a phone call in the peace park on the U.S.-Canada border, he had to stop his trip to the "911" site.
At that time, Bai Xiaohei saw that Huang Shi's face was as heavy as water after answering the phone, so he asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong?" ”
Huang Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Hei, old history, I have to go back to China!" ”
"Go home?!" Shi Wenbo first shouted loudly, causing the foreigners walking around to turn their heads to look.
"Yes, I'm going back to China, Xiao Hei, you're familiar, you can help me book a plane ticket for tomorrow now, and see if there is a direct flight to Beijing or Shanghai." Huang Shi turned his head and confessed to Bai Xiaohei.
"It's good, Brother Huang." Bai Xiaohei nodded, he didn't ask anything more, just asked Huang Shi for his passport directly, and then went to call to book a plane ticket.
Shi Wenbo asked with some concern, "Lao Huang, is there something wrong in the country, or is it a ...... at home?"
Huang Shi smiled bitterly, "It's not a family member, it's just a friend who has an accident......
……
Because he had something in his heart, Huang Shi had no intention of going to the United States for another walk, and wanted to ask Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei to go home.
However, Swenbo persuaded him that since they had already come here, they should take a stroll around the peace park on the U.S.-Canada border, and when they returned, they could brag to others that they had set foot on American soil.
Huang Shi immediately persuaded him to move, after all, after returning to China this time, it is uncertain when he will be able to visit here again. In addition, Bai Xiaohei came back after making a phone call and reported that now the flights from Canada to China have been sold out in the past few days, and some of them are only available for flights five days later, so he helped Lao Huang book them.
So Huang Shi had no choice but to suppress his anxious mood, and accompanied by Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei, he walked around the Peace Park.
The Peace Gate Park covers an area of 19 hectares, with the United States and Canada almost half each. In the middle of the park, at the border between the United States and Canada, stands the symbol of customs, which is the famous "Arch of Peace".
On one side of the arch is written "Brothers of the same mother", while on the other side of the arch is written "Brothers united".
After Huang Shi heard what Lao Shi said, he asked them with a smile, "Ha Lu haha, Lao Shi, Xiao Hei, do you say they are cousins or brothers?" ”
"They should be regarded as cousins, and Canada and the United Kingdom and Australia can be regarded as brothers."
Yellowstone nodded, he also agreed with this point of view, because Scotland and Wales were basically pure-blooded Celts, while England was very mixed, but the patrilineal Germanic people were more Saxon and Anglo.
And the blood of white Americans is mostly German, accounting for 15. 2%, followed by Irish with 10. 8 per cent, compared to 8 for those of British descent. 7%, 6 of Mexican descent. 5%, 5% of Italians. 8%, 3 of Polish origin. 2%, 3% of French descent and 1 of Scottish descent. 7%。
So from this point of view, the relationship between Americans and Canadians is still a little farther away, so Yellowstone said, "But you can see what they write on it, it is really a brotherhood." ”
"Ha Luha, Lao Huang, you are wrong, they Americans always make fun of Canadians."
"Yes."
"Yes, Brother Huang, in fact, the people of the United States and Canada are not as good as wearing crotch pants. In American TV programs, Canadians are always ridiculed, looking down on this turtle neighbor, and Canadians are not used to the and coaxing appearance of Americans, and if a Canadian is mistaken for an American overseas, he will be very unhappy, as if he has been insulted, and he will not be able to turn his face with you. ”
"Why is this happening?"
"Ha Luha, think about it, although Canada has an army, but its defense still depends on the Americans, they have a joint defense agreement between the two countries, and Canada is not as good as the United States in terms of history, culture, and economy, so Americans often make fun of Canadians and think they are hillbillies. And Canadians are also very disdainful of Americans, who see them as nouveau riche. Lao Huang, I have a female neighbor who scolds Lao Mei every day for being a robber. ”
"Really? Hahaha, Lao Mei is so annoying! ”
Yellowstone was in a good mood and looked over the white arch, which was surrounded by a wide lawn that led to the beach on one side and a flower-filled hillside on the other, and a tree-lined hillside. At each end of the United States and Canada, rectangular flower beds are placed diagonally, and flowers are planted to form the national flags of the two countries.
Because there is also a children's playground and picnic area on the Canadian side of the park, it happens to be a weekend, so there are many tourists who come here for outings and picnics, including some cute little girls.
Huang Shi and Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei walked and stopped, Lao Huang watched and observed the scenery, and at the same time asked Lao Shi to help him take pictures in front of various scenic spots, so that more than a few hours quickly passed.
From the Canadian side, walk through the picnic area and the Great Lawn to the white arch, the first peace symbol monument in the world built in 1921 to commemorate the centenary of the Treaty-of-Ghent between the United States and Britain in 1814.
When I looked at it from a distance, it didn't feel too big, but when I got closer, I found that this Greek-style building was about 30 meters high, the width of the door was at least five or six meters, and the flags of Canada and the United States were fluttering on the top.
He wondered if he would like to build a few such landmark buildings on his site in the future to commemorate his success.
"Xiao Hei, let me translate this, what does it mean?" HUANGSHI SAW A LINE OF TEXT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ARCH, "MAY-THESE-GATES-NEVER-BE-CLOSED".
"May this door never be closed."
"Oh." Huang Shi nodded, remembering the "compatriots who live together in unity" that Swenbo had just said, and ran back to the Canadian side, where he saw the white arch with "Brethren-Dwelling-Together-in-Unity" carved on the horizontal eyebrows.
Then I ran to the other side of the door, and saw that it was carved with "Children-of-a-Common-Mother".
"Lao Huang, congratulations, congratulations, you have set foot on the land of Great America, hahaha."
Yellowstone saw that the park was full of tourists playing, and he didn't see those small stalls and vendors like domestic attractions, "Hehehe, yes, yes, I've finally gone to this American land." By the way, are there any souvenirs for sale here? ”
"Brother Huang, I really haven't paid attention to this, or will we go around the last four times?"
"Alright then, let's look around, I've got to leave a mark of my visit somewhere." Huang Shi just said casually, and naturally he would not write the words "Lao Huang came here to visit" on the Peace Gate like others, so he asked Bai Xiaohei to stop a tourist casually and help the three of them take a photo on this side of the United States.
HUANGSHI THOUGHT OF THIS, SMILED, AND DRANK THE DRINK IN FRONT OF HIM IN ONE GULP, AND PULLED THE PHOTO OUT OF THE IPAD.
