Chapter 4: I don't know how long it has been

"Sir,"

"Sir,"

In a trance, Shujie suddenly heard a soft female voice.

"Sir,"

"Wake up..."

Well... He frowned, reluctantly opening his eyes a slit. Oh, my God! How long has it been since it was so bright?

The cabin was already brightly lit. Shujie waited a little longer before he opened his eyes completely, and found that the stewardess from before was calling to him.

"Wake up, sir..."

"What..."Shujie was stunned.

"Hello sir. Our plane has landed in Chicago, please bring your immigration documents and prepare to disembark. The stewardess said elegantly. The middle-aged man to Shujie's left has already stood in the aisle, stretching his body; And the beautiful woman on the right has also taken off her mask and is staring at herself.

"Okay, good," Shujie agreed. He hurriedly picked up his bag from under his lap. Depend on! How is my Form I-94 on the ground? Shujie quickly picked up the entry documents scattered on the ground, got up and took off the Jansports travel backpack recommended by the treasure book from the cabin roof, and prepared to get off the plane.

The engine sound finally stopped, and the flow of people in the aisles of the cabin began to move. Shujie picked up his carry-on luggage and followed the dense crowd of passengers across the boarding bridge. The wide and bright O'Haire airport rushed into his heart like a light. Soon, Shujie arrived at the customs arrival hall and began to wait behind a long queue.

According to the book, you will have to wait in line for about an hour or two at the immigration department, and only after completing the immigration procedures can you go to collect the checked baggage and finally go out of customs. When he thought of the pots and pans that his mother had carefully wrapped in those two big boxes, Shujie's head was big. "I'll have to get a hand to push the luggage cart later. It says that at Chicago Airport, if someone moves your luggage, you'll have to pay a $20 tip, or 50 cents if you pull it yourself in a luggage cart. Fools know what to do! What's more, it's me and other students from the Heavenly Empire. Shujie thought secretly. He had already exchanged the coins according to the instructions of the treasure book.

The customs window is just ahead, and the queue for entry curves through the noisy halls, but it doesn't move. Thinking that three years of hard work had finally come to fruition, Shujie wanted to immediately separate the crowd and rush through the customs to land in the United States. But he knew that he had endured it for so many years, and he was not in a hurry for a while.

At the front of the queue stood a black-clad officer armed with a gun. Under his command, passengers waiting to enter the country were called to the various check-in windows in groups. The crowd squirmed slowly, God knows how long it would take, and finally it was Shujie's turn, and it would be his own moment. Looking at the yellow line on the ground, Shujie's emotions involuntarily became agitated.

The time has finally come!

The black-clad officer pointed at Shujie and then to window No. 7. Shujie understood, he immediately grabbed his luggage and walked quickly to the No. 7 window. The immigration window was actually a small kiosk, and behind the half-height counter sat a chubby black lady with a yellow shield badge gleaming on her chest.

As soon as he met Aunt Hei's gaze, Shujie immediately squeezed out a smile. The treasure book says: Even if you fall to the ground, the customs officer may refuse to enter the country and force you to return on the original plane, so you must have a good attitude. Listen to the question clearly and then answer it. If you don't understand, say: Sorry, May I beg your pardon? (Excuse me, can you please say that again?) ”

The black aunt waved her hand to Shujie. Shujie hurriedly handed over his passport, visa, and customs form, and then kept smiling and looked at the other party eagerly. Behind the counter, Aunt Hei picked up her passport, flipped it over and glanced at it twice, then raised her head and smiled at Shujie.

Ask me questions! Shujie pricked up his ears and stared intently at Aunt Hei's mouth.

Her thick lips moved! Shujie memorized all kinds of answers in his mind.

β€œHar ni how se-you?” Aunt Black asked.

What? WHAT YOU?

Shujie's brain suddenly short-circuited.

Oh, my God! I can't understand a word!
