Volume 1 Chapter 7
In the third terminal of the Capital International Airport, under the drab white skirt, a pair of slightly dull flat sandals is next to a pair of decent old leather shoes. Wen Jin and her father walked in front of them with two heavy large suitcases, and her mother walked behind them with her younger brother in her arms and a slightly smaller boarding suitcase in her hand.
In front of the check-in counter, a large consignment box is securely lifted and placed on a conveyor belt. As soon as the conveyor belt turned, another large consignment box was wobbly lifted.
Dad said to Wen Jin: "Xiao Jin, you can't take it, put it down quickly, let Dad take it." As he spoke, the box was caught by Dad's big hand and placed firmly on the conveyor belt.
Wen Jin whispered to her father: "Dad, I'm growing up, you don't have to worry about me, when I come to the United States in the future, I have to do everything by myself, I can do it." ”
Dad said: "No matter how strong you are, you are still a child after all, you have to leave your parents to go to the United States at such a young age, Dad must hurry up, even if he can take care of you for a while." ”
At this time, the airline's attendant looked at Xiao Jin, who was short, childish, and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and then looked at the passport handed over by Wen Jin, and asked Pan Zhonghua: "You are the father of the child, right?" Has she flown internationally before? ”
Pan Zhonghua shook his head and said, "My daughter hasn't been out much by herself. ”
The attendant said, "She's only fourteen, right?" It is very unsafe for such a young child to have to transfer flights halfway by himself on a non-international route. I suggest that you run an unaccompanied service for your child, which is also responsible for you and your child, only 500 yuan, and our flight attendant will take care of her along the way to ensure her safety. ”
Wen Jin immediately pursed his lips and objected: "No need, I'm not a courier package, I still have to be sent around, I've grown up, I can go to the United States alone." ”
The service staff ignored Wen Jin's objection and looked directly at Pan Zhonghua and Shen Xiaohui with an inquiring gaze.
Pan Zhonghua immediately took out a credit card from his wallet, handed it to the service staff and said, "You are right, then you can help run an unaccompanied service for your child." ”
The service staff skillfully handled the card payment for Pan Zhonghua, took out a small tag from the counter and handed it to Wen Jin, saying: "Put this on your body, and after the security check, a flight attendant will pick you up and take you to the waiting room, and before the plane takes off, the flight attendant will take you to the plane." ”
Xiao Jin reluctantly put on the small card.
At this time, the younger brother also seemed to know that his sister was about to go away, so he staggered up, took his sister's hand and said, "Sister, sister, when will you come back?" ”
Wen Jin squatted down, looked at his younger brother reluctantly, and said, "Sister will come back before Christmas, you have to be obedient, read more, and learn English well." ”
Shen Xiaohui came over and said, "Child, you haven't left home since you were a child, but today you have to cross the ocean to the United States alone." Mom and Dad both", Mom choked up in her throat, and it took a long time to say a sentence sadly: "...... The road ahead is up to you......"
Pan Zhonghua said: "Didn't you say that if you see off your daughter today, no one is allowed to cry?" ”
Mom wiped away her tears, barely smiled and said, "Come, daughter, hug Mommy." The mother and daughter hugged each other, the mother stroked Wen Jin's thin back, tears fell on Wen Jin's coat, they were reluctant to part for a long time, and in the end, Wen Jin gritted her teeth, broke free from her mother's arms, ninja tears, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Mother's voice sounded behind him: "Wen Jin, remember to send WeChat to your mother at any time......"
