Chapter 545 A Reunion Dinner in a Foreign Country II
Tom saw that he had understood, so he didn't say more, Jiang Yunfeng admired his attitude of going forward bravely for the sake of his dreams, but he continued to persuade him not to be too aggressive. joked that he hoped to see his high-quality documentaries on the Internet often in the future, instead of the news of his accidental death. Even if he doesn't think about loyal viewers like himself, he has to think about his elderly father.
Mentioning that he hadn't been in touch with his father for a few years and hadn't taken the initiative to come to him, the smile on Tom's face slowly turned to sadness, and the whole person fell silent. Jiang Yunfeng, who realized that he had stepped on a landmine, turned his face away and slapped his mouth in annoyance before turning back to the nonsense of Tiannan and Haibei, trying to reactivate the atmosphere.
Finally said the nickname of the U.S. Marine Corps in the country, the fourth-class Ma Run, and it was still the Marine Corps who appeared in the most dangerous area with the worst weapons. Tom, who had just taken a sip of drinking water, squirted out, and coughed a few times before he began to explain to Jiang Yunfeng.
The atmosphere of small talk became lively again, and Jiang Yunfeng casually asked Tom what kind of content he was going to shoot this time. Tom leaned back on the bench and looked out at the sea in the distance, and replied that he didn't know yet, and the plan was to travel deep into the interior of Africa first.
"It turns out that we are also going to Africa, do you want to go together?" Jiang Yunfeng hit the snake and put on the stick, and issued an invitation to travel together.
"We? It seems that you are not traveling alone, will the members of the team agree to me joining a stranger halfway? Tom said with a smile.
Jiang Yunfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yes, I forgot about this stubble, but the destination of our trip is the Republic of Evia, are you interested?" ”
"Evia, what are you doing there shortly after the civil war in that country ended?"
"Alas~ It's not a secret, in fact, we planned this trip to let a member of the team go to reunite with her parents who have not seen her for many years, her parents have been appointed by the state to engage in construction aid work in Africa for several years, this is not this year's Lunar New Year is approaching, take advantage of the holiday to reunite her parents and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in a foreign country." Jiang Yunfeng told the truth.
Tom, who had spent some time in China because he went deep into Shennongjia to shoot a documentary about savages, knew very well what the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Lunar New Year family reunion meant to a Chinese, and Tom, who had personally experienced what the Spring Festival was, also made a documentary about the 'Spring Festival', the world's largest population migration that occurs once a year in China.
Highly praised on the Discovery Channel and foreign video sites, how did China's authorities allow hundreds of millions of people to move frequently in a month? How much capacity is needed to ensure that these people return to their hometowns on time for the Chinese New Year? Foreign audiences couldn't figure it out.
Years of experience in filming and interviewing allowed Tom to grasp several key points from Jiang Yunfeng's words: "National assignment, aid construction?" Your friend's relatives can't be engineers for China's aid to Africa, right? ”
"Yes, the squad leader's parents are both engineers at the State Grid and are now helping to rebuild the local power facilities in Evia." Jiang Yunfeng nodded, not knowing what Tom was excited about.
"Great! I especially want to join your team this time! Tom excitedly grabbed Jiang Yunfeng's hand and said, "Those mainstream media in the West have deliberately smeared your country's aid projects in Africa, saying that they are all purposeful and constantly misleading the people, this time I want to use my lens to tell the world the most real situation!" ”
"Good.... Okay, I'll go and ask the eldest lady. The two men clasped their hands together, and the strange gazes around Jiang Yunfeng made Jiang Yunfeng feel very embarrassed, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave, and didn't take a few steps to meet Erina Nagikiri, who came out to breathe.
Erina Nagikiri, who was recovering her energy in the cabin, boarded the deck and was about to stretch out to breathe, when Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly walked over and asked, "Regarding the arrangements for going to France for culinary exchanges, did you inform Xingping-kun, did they not?" ”
"Oops, I forgot. That's right! Miss, I have something I want to report, please ..... here" Jiang Yunfeng patted his already slightly forgetful head, and led Erina Nagikiri to Tom, explaining in detail Tom's willingness and purpose to join the team and travel together. Erina Nagikiri did not rush to agree, but summoned everyone to the cruise ship restaurant to discuss it while having lunch.
"Tom. Sheffield, Discovery Reporter. Uncle Billy double-checked Tom's press card with a cigar in his mouth, and after confirming that it was correct, he told Kiritai that the certificate was genuine, and the look in Tom's eyes became complicated again.
The young man in his thirties, who looked very similar to his former boss, and also had the same surname Sheffield. Uncle Billy could determine that the young man named Tom was the only son of his old boss, General Sheffield, and that the first time he was seen was the baby in the photo, thirty years later.
Catching a glimpse of the chain around Tom's neck, Uncle Billy took off his cigar and said, "You were a soldier?" ”
Tom was stunned for a moment, then pinched the chain and pulled out two small metal pieces from his collar, which were engraved with basic information about him and his home address. Pinching the identity tag commonly known as 'dog tags', Tom sneered, "I have served in the Marine Corps, and I have also been to Afghanistan and Iraq, and I have always worn it if I can't change it." ”
"The Marine Corps~ It's a good place to train men." The cigar was about to go out, and Uncle Billy took a few puffs but couldn't save it, so he could only take out the special match from his arms.
Tom saw Uncle Billy's matchbox pinned to it a badge consisting of a bald eagle, an anchor, a Neptune's trident, a musket, and the rank of captain. Instinctively, he stood up, raised his right hand with his head held high, saluted, and replied loudly, "Good afternoon, sir!!" ”
The loud noise made the passengers in the restaurant look at him curiously, and Tom suddenly stood up and yelled to startle Uncle Billy, who was lighting a cigarette, and glanced at his matchbox to understand what was going on, and hurriedly waved him to sit down.
"Thank you, sir!" Tom immediately sat down, his hands on his thighs, his waist straight.
Seeing his overreaction, Uncle Billy pinched his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Tom, you are no longer a Marine, and I am no longer a captain, so there is no need for everyone to abide by the rules of the army in normal times." ”
"One day Marine, one Marine! Salute is a must for every soldier, whether he wears a military uniform or not! Not to mention, you're also a captain of the Navy SEALs. ”
。。。
Jiang Yunfeng left the restaurant and came to the viewing balcony below the deck alone, took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone of Xingping Chuangzhen, and after a short wait for the music, the mobile phone vibrated to indicate that the other party had answered.
