Chapter 246: On the plane

See the fastest updates

Huang Shi, who was sitting on the plane, didn't dare to squint and nap like everyone else, because he was afraid that when his eyelids closed, he would probably fall asleep, maybe the left hand would be released, and the light door would never be found again.

So he held on to his sleepiness, yawning with his right hand from time to time, thinking in his heart that he must hold on until the moment the plane landed. Looking out the window at the starry sky, and then at the seat next to him, Uncle Gao, who was covered with a blanket and sleeping soundly, remembered that he said that he wanted to introduce his daughter to him, and couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out that he was sitting by the window, and there were long wings outside, so when the plane first took off, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and it gradually became quieter later. Because what he was most afraid of was the accident of the plane, so as the plane flew higher and higher, and the more and more stable it became, his tension slowly relaxed.

However, although he was not nervous at that time, he was still very excited, because after all, it was the first time to go abroad, so he looked down from the window and watched the white clouds rolling under his feet, in a variety of postures, some like eagles, some like little white rabbits, some like bears, and some were simply Picasso's abstract pies......

Under the golden sunlight, those white clouds seemed to be covered with a golden veil, which made them even more beautiful. Then he looked down through the clouds, and faintly saw the mountain river, which was as abrupt as a knife, and the river was as thin as a rope, and the field was like a small building block, and everything seemed so small.

However, after watching it for more than half an hour, Huang Shi felt bored, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the LCD screen hanging on the cabin, and found that there was no good program, so he turned his gaze to the window again. Near the plane, there were clouds and mist churning below, and the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Looking into the distance, all kinds of white clouds like mountains, like long rivers, like cotton, like various animals, can not see the end, making people feel as if they are in the "sea of clouds".

And so on and so forth, a few times, until he heard someone shout, "Young man." ”

"Hmm." Just when Huangshi was a little impetuous, there was a voice around him, and he felt as if he was calling himself, so he hurriedly looked back and saw that it was the old gentleman sitting next to him, he was wearing glasses and holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at himself.

"It's not your first time flying, are you?"

"Well, of course not." Huangshi is a little strange for this old gentleman to say this, because in the past, when the high-speed rail was not opened, the province, business trips, and tourism were all by plane, and to other provinces and cities was to take a bus, and the only two experiences of taking the train were from Mawei to Fuzhou during the spring outing of primary school, and from Shanghai to Suzhou during the short trip experience.

"Then you must be going abroad for the first time!" The old gentleman put the newspaper in his hand on the tray and leaned slightly to the side of Huangshi.

Huang Shi was surprised, "Sir, how do you see it?" ”

"Hehehe, look at the restless way you just now......" The old gentleman smiled very happily.

"Well, that's making you laugh." Huang Shi couldn't help but laugh too, because not only did he not dare to sleep with his back on the chair, but he didn't even dare to pick up the headphones on the seat to listen to music, for fear that he would get carried away and ruin something big, so after watching the clouds, mountains and fog, it was really like a year.

"Boy, it's only been less than two hours, and there's still ten hours to go, so if you wait until you get off the plane......"

Huangshi has heard that because of the low air pressure in the cabin, although the cabin is pressurized, it is only 0. 8 atmospheres, and the oxygen content is also low, after sitting for a long time, you will feel tired, fatigue and dizziness, etc., if you fly across the ocean or across continents, then the feeling is even more obvious.

In addition, being in a "buzzing" noise environment for a long time can also make people a little irritated and feel sleepy, so if it is a long-distance flight, it will take 1 to 3 days to get used to the jet lag.

"There's really ten hours left." Huang Shi flipped through his watch, and it was blatantly displayed that it had only been an hour and forty-six minutes since the plane took off.

"Flying across the ocean is very tiring, especially this kind of more than 10 hours, but the excitement of your new trip abroad will make you unnoticeable, and when you get to your destination, it will make you sleepy."

After saying the above words, the old gentleman continued, "By the way, young man, you haven't asked you whether you are an immigrant or a tourist?" If you are traveling, it is recommended that you take the time to sleep. ”

Huang Shi felt a little funny when he heard that he was almost forty years old, and was called by the old gentleman one by one. However, the old man's serious words are very reasonable, but it is a pity that he has a special situation and cannot refer to this method to do it.

Because in the morning, Shi Wenbo also said to himself on the phone, "I usually don't sleep on the plane, and when I arrive at the destination, if it's daytime, I will continue to hold on and don't sleep, and wait until night to sleep." If it's night, then go to bed right away. This person will be a little tired, but he will soon be able to overcome the time difference. It's best for us young people, but if it's an older person, forget it. ”

"I'm going to travel, by the way, the old man, my surname is Huang, and my single name is a stone character, you can call me Xiao Huang, or Huangshi."

The old gentleman said with some anger, "Xiao Huang, then don't call me an old man, call me old." ”

"It's my fault, it's my fault, you're still young, by the way, I forgot to ask your old surname?" Huang Shi immediately sincerely admitted his mistake.

"What's expensive or not, you just call me Lao Gao."

"Then what's the matter, I'll call you Uncle Gao." Huang Shi saw that the old people were all gray-haired, which was at least twenty years different from his own age, and he was not the kind of person who was only seven or eight years older, how could he dare to shout so loudly, Lao Gao, Lao Gao, he had a consistent tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, so there was nothing in the way of calling Uncle Gao.

"Xiao Huang, by the way, you just said that you were going to travel, so you should rest early, otherwise if you don't have energy tomorrow, then the time will be wasted."

"Thank you, Uncle Gao, I don't have to sleep." Huang Shi continued, "Actually, although I went out this time in the name of tourism, I actually went to a friend's factory for an inspection, and I stayed for a long time this time, so I didn't care about the time of the day or two. ”

"Going to inspect the factory?!" Hearing this, Uncle Gao seemed to be in good spirits, and even the slightly inclined body just now straightened up all of a sudden.

Huang Shi nodded, this is not a secret, it is written in the column of the reason for the visa application form, "Yes, this time I went over there to inspect the factory." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Xiao Huang, it's good that you can make a career at a young age."

Young age, why did he become tender, Huang Shi is a little strange, he hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, so he doesn't know that he looks younger, and even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes have disappeared, and to outsiders, he does look like a person who is just about 25.

"Uncle Gao, I'm not young anymore." Huang Shi didn't know the changes in his body, he just sighed a little, struggled for more than ten years, and finally had a car, a house, a wife and children. But once you get divorced, these are gone, it's like going back to the pre-liberation period. If it weren't for that incident, what would he have had like in the rest of his life? Whether to live peacefully in the small house assigned to him by his parents, or to find a suitable woman for him to spend the rest of his life, Huang Shi himself does not know.

Uncle Gao didn't know why Huang Shi's expression suddenly became depressed, "What's wrong?" Yellow! ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Huang Shi smiled and said, "Uncle Gao, I'm almost forty years old, and you still say I'm young." ”

"Almost forty? I don't believe it! Uncle Gao shook his head, "Xiao Huang, don't lie to me. ”

"Hehehe." Huang Shi smiled happily, pointed to the luggage rack above his head and said, "Uncle Gao, I'm thirty-eight, if it weren't for the documents in the bag above, I would have shown it to you." ”

"Oh, that's right." Uncle Gao saw that Huang Shi said very seriously, so he believed it, but the person leaned back in the chair again.

Seeing that Uncle Gao was silent, Huang Shi was a little strange, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "By the way, Uncle Gao, are you going to Canada this time for tourism?" ”

"It's not going to travel, it's going to visit relatives." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Uncle Gao's face.

Seeing that Uncle Gao was happy, Huang Shi also smiled and said, "Uncle Gao, then you must have gone to see your grandson and granddaughter." ”

I didn't know that Lu Dao mentioned this, but I heard Uncle Gao's long sigh of "sigh", "How can there be any grandsons and granddaughters, my daughter has not been married yet!" ”

"Not married yet? How old is your daughter? ”

"Thirty!" Speaking of this, Uncle Gao's eyebrows were engraved like deep Sichuan characters, he touched his gray hair and said, "Half of my white hair is worried about her." ”

"That's a little bit bigger." Huang Shi thought to himself, although it is not like what was said before, men are thirty-one flowers, and women are thirty tofu scum, but if a woman is not married by the time she reaches thirty, she will indeed become an older leftover girl, no wonder her father is very worried.

"yes, yes, when she was in college, she had a boyfriend, we didn't agree, and they broke up. Then she went to graduate school, and then she went abroad to study for a doctorate. ”

"Then she didn't look for it again?"

"Yes, I didn't look for it anymore, it's all my fault when I think about it, at that time I made her focus on her studies, and her studies were important......" Speaking of this, Uncle Gao seemed to regret it very much, regretting that he broke up his daughter's marriage in the first place.

"Then if she doesn't look for it herself, you can also help her go on a blind date." Huang Shi remembered that in many reports, the parents of older leftover men and women went to the blind date market, and then matched each other according to the conditions, and they could really combine the right couples who went out to the house.

"A few years ago, she was in China, and as soon as she got home, we were able to take her to a colleague's house or a friend's house to sit down. But now that she has gone abroad, it's like a kite with a broken string, and we can only see each other once a year, and this time I went abroad to urge her to return home. ”

"Oh, then she's been together so many times, and neither of them is satisfied once?"

"Ugh." Uncle Gao sighed, and he looked proud and distressed when he said the following, "There are so many good boys introduced by colleagues, friends, and relatives, my daughter can't look down on them, saying that she doesn't feel it." But on the other hand, they were all very happy with my daughter. ”
