On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I got on the train back to the city. Before leaving, I went to say goodbye to my mother, and I don't know when we will see each other next time.

My mother told me bitterly to pay attention to safety in the United States, and to see Xiaotong when I have time, Uncle Xia gave me a cowhide bag when he left, I opened it and saw that it contained 100,000 yuan, Uncle Xia said that he would give it to me, and in the end I didn't take any of this money. As much as I love money, I can't ask for it.

After returning to Changchun, I started the final preparations, I am very confused and do not know which city in the United States to go to, I originally wanted to go to New York or Miami, New York is the most prosperous metropolis in the United States, and Miami has beaches and bikini girls. But since I lied to my mom that I was going to work in California, I might as well go there.

The United States is a familiar and unfamiliar country to me, and although I often see some news about the United States on TV, I am still very new to the United States, and I don't know what it is like over there.

Since I decided to go to California, I had to check the situation there, California is the third largest state in the United States, with a total area of 410,000 square kilometers and a dense population. Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, is located in California, and Los Angeles is no less prosperous than New York.

And California borders Mexico, and drug crime is particularly rampant, which has put the crime rate in Los Angeles on a red alert for several years, and I think you can definitely find clues in the Devil's Garden in Los Angeles.

Since the place has been planned, the rest is to arrange the itinerary, because this is a protracted war, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to China for a few years, so before this time I bought a lot of things that I can't eat there, such as salted duck eggs, pine eggs, pickles, Lao Mei does not wash and likes to eat high-cholesterol food, so these things are difficult to buy abroad. But I'm just okay with this, I can't help it, more than half of the space in a large suitcase is filled with these things.

Before leaving, I called Jasmine Chen, and after a few beeps, I heard Sister Chen's voice again.

"Hey, Chen, Sister Chen, I'm Xiao Meng." I said a little apprehensively, and I don't know if she still holds a grudge against me.

"What's the matter?" Sister Chen replied coldly.

"Oh, no, it's okay, just call and ask what you've been up to lately." I said embarrassedly.

"What does it have to do with you? It's okay don't call me. After Sister Chen finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

I sighed, it seems that Sister Chen is still complaining about me, forget it, hate it.

Everything was ready, I returned the rented house, set off with all the valuable belongings on my body, first took a taxi to the airport, and then flew to Shanghai first, and then transferred from Shanghai to Los Angeles in the United States.

It was the first time I had traveled so far, and I was alone, in a strange country and a strange city, and I didn't know why I went to the United States.

I stayed on the plane for a total of 18 hours on the plane, my God, I was dizzy and dizzy, and there was a frightening incident, when I was about to arrive in Los Angeles, a bird got into the left rear of the plane, which made the left side of the plane fail, which frightened the passengers on the plane, and there were timid people and women who were directly scared to cry, and an old lady took a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

However, in the end, the captain landed smoothly with his excellent flight piloting skills, and after the plane landed, everyone cried with joy, hugged each other and cheered.

The way we got off the plane was also a bit bizarre, we got off the plane on an inflatable slide, and the firefighters and ambulance personnel on the ground were already on standby to bring the unwell passengers to the ambulance.

I followed the flow of people to the exit of the airport, and at a glance, almost everywhere I saw was foreigners of all colors, and a sense of loneliness arose.

I sighed and said "Goodbye, Motherland, Hello, Los Angeles." ”

After going through all the landing procedures, I was ready to go to get the consignment gift, because my gift box was overweight so I could only check it in, but I never expected that this happened as soon as I arrived in the United States.

Here's the thing, when I was about to get my checked suitcase back, the airport staff inadvertently confused my suitcase with another passenger's suitcase, and it was even more coincidental that my suitcase was strikingly similar to that passenger's suitcase, from color to appearance to size, the only difference may be that my suitcase is a counterfeit of a certain brand.

It's no wonder that the airport staff confused the two suitcases, which resulted in my suitcase being taken by the person as if it were their own.

Actually, it didn't matter, the most important thing was that I didn't have a wallet with me, except for a passport and a thousand dollars, I put all the important items in my suitcase.

And because of some regulations, the maximum amount that people who leave the country cannot carry with them is more than 5,000 US dollars, and more than 10,000 US dollars need to be issued by the bank, so I only brought 5,000 US dollars, and 4,000 of them were put in my suitcase.

Your uncle, as soon as I arrived in the United States, I encountered this kind of trouble, so I quickly asked the airport staff to negotiate in blunt English to see if I could get my suitcase back.

"What do I need to do in this situation?" I thought my English was okay, but I ignored the grammar. As a result, when I talk to people in the future, they always misunderstand what I mean.

"Sir, we are also sorry for this to happen, please be patient, we will contact the passenger as soon as possible." A white staff member said officially.

"How long will it take?" I've only got a thousand dollars, and if you're going to make me wait a month or two, I'll drink the northwest wind?

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't give you a clear answer on this point, we will contact the other party as soon as possible." The staff said helplessly.

I rely on it, there is only one way to do things in the United States, everything is done in accordance with the rules and procedures, I estimate that it will be at least half a month to a month ago, which is really unlucky.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the white staff was quite efficient, and immediately called the airport security personnel to open the passenger's suitcase to see if there was any identity information inside.

When the box was opened, it was filled with daily necessities and some change of clothes, and I judged from the clothes that the owner of the box should be a man, and he should be about thirty to fifty years old, which is not my guess, because I judged from the style of those clothes.

Everything in the box had arrived, and there was no information about the owner of the box, when I noticed a strange thing in the box, something wrapped in old newspapers, which looked heavy, probably more than ten centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide.

The security personnel at the airport also found this thing wrapped in old newspapers, so they opened it and checked it, and this check did not matter, and everyone was stunned.
