Chapter 306: Cozy Dinner
You must know that from Tripoli, the capital of Libya, to the port of Rasjdir in Tuli, it is a full 500 kilometers, 8 hours of walking, and more than 50 checkpoints.
Zhang Changqiu is worthy of being an experienced young diplomat, and after negotiating with the military and police, the rioters, and the opposition on the road, the convoy finally made the arduous trek to a camping place on the outskirts of Tuli.
Looking at the more than 2,000 compatriots gathered here, Zhang Changqiu and the others could not take care of their tiredness, and while starting the registration work, they organized people to go to Tunisia to negotiate and ask the other party to allow these undocumented Chinese compatriots to cross the border.
"Compatriots, everyone obeys the order, and soon the registration work will be completed, and then we will set off for the Ras Jadir port, believing that the country will be able to bring you back to the motherland." Muyang shouted from a dirt slope to bring the crowd back to order.
Most of the construction workers here are the first and second construction workers, after the registration is completed, organize everyone to line up, and start to set off to the Ras Jadir port, this campsite is still more than 20 kilometers away from the port.
Now Libya's mobile phone communication has basically been paralyzed, and the network that can still be used is sometimes good and sometimes bad, Muyang tried to contact Zhang Changqiu, who went to the port to negotiate, but he couldn't get in touch, there was no way, he brought people over first, and the situation problem was trying to find a way, so he couldn't let his compatriots endure freezing and starvation here.
If you really can't do it, you have to get some food and drink from the Tunisian border crossing to solve the stomach problems of these people, otherwise something will really happen.
These workers dragged their tired bodies, took their heavy salutes, and marched towards the border port step by step, and Mu Yang and several comrades who stayed behind followed on foot and walked forward together.
Suddenly, a level appears in front of you. A dozen Libyans with guns in several cars stood there, watching the crowd come in pairs with Chinese, and one of them stood up and fired several shots into the sky.
The crowd was frightened and fled to the side of the road. It is not known for sure whether the group of roadblocks were mob robbers or armed members of the opposition, but a dozen guys armed with rifles stood there. The deterrent effect is still quite large.
What to do, Mu Yang glanced at the colleague behind him and said, "Zhang Chao, you pacify the crowd and go up to negotiate with them yourself." ”
"Why don't we contact Director Zhang, after all, they just passed by here, first understand who these people are, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Someone suggested.
"It's too late, I'll go up and try." Muyang felt that since Zhang Changqiu and they were able to pass, they should not be too embarrassed by their group of overseas Chinese.
"Can I communicate in English?" Muyang walked up to the group of gunmen alone and said that English is the second language in Libya. Highly educated people generally say.
One of the middle-aged men stood up and said in English: "You are Chinese? ”
"Yes, these people have come to Libya to help you build a house, and now we are going to Tunisia through here." Muyang said.
The middle-aged man smiled, "The Chinese help us to build, we welcome you, in fact, you can stay, we will soon overthrow Gaddafi." When the new government comes to power, you can stay here and continue to build Libya. ”
Mu Yang slandered in his heart. The turmoil has only just begun, and it is a bit wishful thinking to establish a new government.
"But now Libya is full of thugs, many of our construction sites have been looted, and the safety of our workers is not guaranteed, so we have to go back to our homeland first. But when Libya settles down, I think we'll come back. Muyang said.
"Those thugs are not from our Freedom Alliance, although we are against Gaddafi, but we will not rob, those people are just some bandits who take advantage of the chaos to rob. When our new government is established, the first one will destroy them. The middle-aged man said.
"But now Libya is too chaotic for us to work in." Muyang said.
"Okay, you can leave, but please tell your Chinese that we welcome the Chinese to build in Libya, we are just to overthrow Gaddafi's dictatorial and high-pressure rule, and Libya will be built into Dubai in Africa in our hands." The middle-aged man finally preached the idea of his own party.
Muyang can only say that it is indeed a bit wishful thinking, and now that Libya is in chaos, it is a very difficult thing to restore order, and it is a very difficult thing to establish Dubai in Africa, hehe, just kidding.
Not long after passing this checkpoint, Zhang Changqiu drove back with people, and saw that Muyang had brought people here, and said happily: "You have just walked here, and I am afraid that you will not be able to cross the border today, I have already agreed with the Tunisian side, and they will cross the border today, and their identity will be guaranteed by China, and a few of us will follow this group of workers to Tunisia and send them on the ship there." ”
This time, things went well, and they took more than 2,000 people through the port, entered the Tunisian border, boarded a hired Tunisian bus, and then drove to the nearest port under the leadership of a Tunisian police car.
Continuous rushing, walking, and sending people away, Muyang looked at the moment when his compatriots boarded the passenger ferry, his heart was full of joy, but his body was very tired, fortunately, he had internal strength, but Zhang Changqiu and others were tired and sat directly in the car, and they were no longer willing to move.
Then, if you still drive back to Tripoli, do you have to go through dozens of checkpoints and hundreds of kilometers of broken roads, and finally Zhang Changqiu asked the leadership, the car is gone, anyway, even if you drive back to Tripoli, you can't bring it back to China, and you can fly back to Tripoli directly from Tunisia, which is faster.
The work continues, picking up and sending people away, everyone is like clockwork, and when they are tired, they find a place to sit for a while and then continue to work.
By March 5, the evacuation of Chinese expatriates in Libya was basically completed, and at this time, all the people involved in the evacuation breathed a sigh of relief and did the final finishing touches, trying not to let any Chinese stay.
The staff made the last flight back to China, and finally set foot on the land of the motherland on March 7, looking at the crowd at the airport to pick up the plane, people felt alive again.
"Youshan." Muyang hugged Xu Youshan, buried her face in her hair, and sniffed hard.
"I'm tired." Xu Youshan greeted gently.
It's just that these simple words make people's hearts warm, and Muyang feels that he is so obsessed with this warm feeling in his heart.
"I'll cook for you in the evening?" Xu Youshan said.
"You can cook too?" Mu Yang wondered.
"How can we say that our family also runs a restaurant, and my father is a chef." Xu Youshan said.
"Then I didn't earn it, beautiful, gentle, considerate, and able to cook." Mu Yang exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"I don't know until now." Xu Youshan was a little arrogant.
The two of them were shopping for ingredients in the supermarket in front of the shopping cart, preparing to cook at Muyang's house, and Muyang gave Xu Youshan the keys to his house and car keys before leaving, so that she could take care of them.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Xu Youshan asked.
"Braised pork." This is Muyang's favorite.
"Ah, I won't." Xu Youshan said nervously with a small face.
"Anything else is fine, I will eat what you do." Hurriedly Muyang said.
"Hehe, but I can make Dongpo meat." Xu Youshan smiled slyly.
Dongpo meat, braised pork, isn't that the same thing, it's just that the names of the south and the north are different, okay, this girl actually teased herself.
Muyang reached out and touched Xu Youshan's waist, and Xu Youshan couldn't help but giggle.
"How do you tickle people?"
"Who called you naughty, you weakness, I heard it from Qiu Xiaoyu."
"That dead girl, I'll settle accounts with her when she comes to the capital."
The little couple is in a mood when they are playing and making trouble.
And a warm dinner made Muyang feel the warmth of home.
That's real life. (To be continued.) )
