Chapter Eighty-Seven: Willing to Gamble and Lose
The captain has the power to give passengers upgrades.
But there is a premise.
Seats are available in First Class and Business Class.
In the case of an already tight airfare.
It's just that Zong Guang, the co-pilot, obviously can't guarantee that Dream Heart can enter the first class.
He bought a ticket and checked in.
Zong Guang's series of operations have been planned for a long time.
He didn't say that much, and Yume's heart didn't think that much.
Dream Heart strives to withdraw himself from the joy of reunion after a long absence.
With a little anger, he said to Zongguang: "Don't think that a first-class cabin can buy me!" β
"How dare I?" Zong Guang smiled dotingly: "Didn't you also prepare an exclusive captain broadcast for you?" β
"I didn't hear you." Yumeshin tilted her head proudly.
"It's okay if you don't hear it, the purser has already recorded it. I'll ask her for it later, and I'll let you know it. Zong Guang's excitement was all written on his face.
"Did the purser know all along?" Dream Heart is a little embarrassed.
There is also some chagrin at being deceived by the bandaning.
It's not obvious.
In any case, the purser also has good intentions.
In the end, I still have to blame my brother for the raid.
"Of course, how could I have left you behind so that we could have a chance to speak for a while."
"For a while? Brother, what do you mean by that? Meng Xinzhi felt that there was something in Zongguang's words, "Since you are all back, how can it only be for a while?" Anyway, you should talk for three days and three nights, right? β
"Not yet."
"Why?"
"I haven't told my dad that I'm back to work."
"Brother also wants to surprise Dad, right?" Dream Xinzhi thought about his treatment today, and suddenly a kind of indescribable emotion arose.
"Hmm." Zong Guang took Mengxinzhi's words and explained: "It's been too many years, and I haven't figured out how to give this surprise. β
"Brother, how can the family have so much to think about?"
"Between men and men, you still have to think more."
"Brother, what are you talking about!" Meng Xinzhi told Zong Guang, "Dad has also come to Guangzhou, and he is at the airport at this time." β
"Did he come so far to pick you up?"
"Well, my dad said he bought an RV and wanted to take me all the way back from Guangzhou, first to Foshan to see the furniture, then to Shunde to eat delicious food, and then from Chaoshan all the way back."
"When did you become so fond of food? Didn't you say before that all you need was steamed buns with water and spiritual food? β
"Before I went to study abroad, my father changed his way of cooking every day, and I really felt that I didn't have a passion for food. When I arrived at the food desert, I found myself dreaming of returning to the oasis every day. β
"So he's a foodie now?"
"That's not true, Ah Yi is a foodie, I'm a diner at best."
"I still have to go back to the company to hand over, I'll get off the plane later, and just take the company's car and leave." Zong Guang looked at his watch, and he looked like he was about to say goodbye.
Mengxinzhi was a little incomprehensible: "You don't leave the airport without leaving the airport?" β
"Yes, the shuttle will go directly to the tarmac."
Yume's face was full of astonishment.
Why did my brother suddenly seem to be a different person.
Because she mentioned Zongyi?
Or is it because of what?
After so many years, my brother has changed people.
From height, to temperament, to body shape and voice.
Even so, Meng Xinzhi still felt that Zong Guang was suddenly a little different from when they first met.
"Brother, don't you want to see your father yet?"
"Don't think about it."
"Brother, do you still mind Ah Yi's birth?"
Yumekomi knows that this is his brother's heart knot.
On the issue of Zongyi, Mengxinzhi chose to stand on the side of Zongji and Menglan without hesitation.
She didn't forget how she told Zong Guang when she first met that it was impossible for Menglan to have another child.
Life is so long, there are always times when the plan can't catch up with the changes.
The reason why Yumeshin chose to take sides is simple.
If, the mother is a person who will beat the child out at will.
Then she could not have been born in this world.
Today's Ms. Menglan is a demon, and how brave she is when she is just an adult.
Dream heart also understands his mother's "reverse growth" very well.
"Nope." Zong Guang denied: "I'm glad that I have another real sister. β
"What's really fake? Could it be that brother, you haven't come back all these years, because you have an opinion on me? Because I'm a fake sister? β
"What do you think? I have an opinion on who I have, and I don't have a problem with my followers. β
"That's okay, from now on, I will continue to follow my brother, and wherever my brother goes, I will go."
As Dream Heart and Zong Guang were talking, Zong Ji's call came in.
Dream Xinzhi was just about to pick it up, but was stopped by Zong Guang.
Zong Guang made a silent gesture: "Don't tell my father about the news of my return to China to work." β
"Why? You've already returned to China, and even if I don't say it, my father will know. β
"I'll tell him myself, you give me a little time." Zongguang told very seriously.
Dream Xinzhi hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.
At the beginning, it was not the museums in Europe that gave Mengxinzhi the idea of studying abroad, but his brother in Europe.
My brother has been really a bit "mysterious" over the years.
Hardly any contact with home.
It's not like it's lost.
Yumekoyuki has always had his address, and every year on his birthday, he writes to him and sends gifts.
Addresses are always changing.
But it's all in Europe.
In Zongguang's words, my family is my family, and Europe is my family.
On Dream Heart's birthday, she always receives birthday gifts from Zongguang from different countries.
There are only gifts.
Zongguang always refused to meet for various reasons.
He kept changing his address, making it clear that he didn't want Zongji and Mengxinzhi to go to him.
In Zong Guang's first year abroad, Zong Ji went to look for it regardless of it.
Went straight to the school.
The address of the home is hidden and hidden, and the address of the school is not difficult to find after all.
Zong Ji thought that it must be Lu Manyu who did not let Zong Guang contact his family.
It turns out that even if he found Zongguang's school, Zongguang was reluctant to come out to meet him.
It didn't take long for even the school to change.
No such person was found.
The City of Dreams didn't know what Zongguang was thinking.
Thinking that her brother wanted to break with her family, she received a reply from Zongguang to her.
The birthday letter was only replied to twice, and there was no more.
The habit of exchanging birthday gifts has been maintained to this day.
Dream Heart and Zong Ji gradually found out, as long as they don't tell Zong Guang that they want to find him, Zong Guang can still have some contact with his family, and as soon as he says it, he will change countries and then change addresses.
There is one more Zongyi from the family, and my brother has become a fan.
It seems like it's always been there, and it's as if it never existed.
Dream Heart and Zong Ji often talk to Zong Yi about Zong Guang.
The little girl knew she had an older brother.
She also received a birthday gift from her brother.
Although Zong Guang may have given it to Dream Heart, Dream Heart will always find a way to give a little bit to Zong Yi.
Gradually, Zongyi became the most frequent talk of his brother in the family.
Dream Heart and Zong Ji didn't want Zong Yi to have a grudge against Zong Guang.
Hearing that Zongyi's elder brother was long and his brother was short, he felt very relieved.
Everything is ready, only my brother is owed.
Mengxinzhi won the full prize from University College London, and when he was sending a birthday gift and writing a letter, he mentioned to Zongguang that he was going to study in Europe.
Dream Xinzhi wrote very carefully, only saying where he would go, and not mentioning that he was going to Europe to find his brother.
At first, Zong Guang also replied, asking her when she was going, and said that he would pick her up at the airport.
It didn't take long for her to regret that she was going to the Americas for training, and she would take her home when she graduated from UCL.
It's an unprecedented time to contact Dream Heart twice a year.
Inconsistency.
The [pick-up] in Zong Guang's mouth is the same as saying that he will come back soon every time he asks for so many years, all of which are empty checks.
Dream Heart has long been accustomed to it.
Just when Dream Heart had no hope, Zong Guang drove the plane to pick him up silently.
You can't think about it seriously, or you'll feel a little magical.
When the plane lands, it is the end of a journey for passengers.
For the unit, there is still a lot to be handed over.
Before Dream Xinzhi could say a few words to Zongguang, the captain also came out of the cockpit.
The captain asked Meng Xinzhi directly: "What is your relationship with Zongguang?" β
Dream Xinzhi looked at Zongguang.
Zong Guang introduced to Meng Xinzhi: "This is our captain today, the highest-ranking instructor captain, surnamed Ming, we all call him Mingjiao." β
"Mingjiao is good, I am Zongguang's sister."
"Dear?" Instructor Ming's expression was slightly ill-intentioned.
"Yes. My brother and I don't have the same last name because I take my mother's last name. β
"That's it......" Instructor Ming looked at Zong Guang and said with a little jokingness: "You kid didn't lie." β
"Who dares to lie to Instructor Ming?" Zong Guang responded with a little exaggerated: "You are a Mingjiao." β
"Don't dare to be it, when you become a teacher one day, it's religion, my little Mingjiao, at most it will occupy the tip of your iceberg."
Zong Guang smiled and arched his hand: "Borrow the auspicious words of the Ming Sect." β
"You're really welcome." Instructor Ming patted Zong Guang on the shoulder, "For the sake of you completing the textbook landing today, I won't worry about you for the time being." β
"Thank you Mingjiao for your careful guidance along the way."
"Alright, you're going back with the bus today, right?" Instructor Ming raised the briefcase in his hand.
The briefcase contains a flight notebook, a technical notebook and a cabin notebook.
The flight data, aircraft status and cabin status of flight CZ304 are recorded respectively.
"Yes." Zong Guang took the briefcase: "I'm in charge of handover." β
"It doesn't seem like it's a little newlywed!" Instructor Ming shook his head and sighed: "In today's situation, I actually want to invite you to dinner." β
"Huh? What do you mean? Mingjiao wants me to invite me to dinner? β
"No, I made a bet with the purser that if I lost, I would invite the whole crew to dinner."
"Bet on what?"
"I said that you kid has been tossing for so long for half a year, desperately accumulating flight hours, just in order to fly on the 787 London line earlier, you have to pick up your girlfriend and come back to get married."
"Didn't I tell you from the beginning that I was picking up my sister?"
Instructor Ming was a little indignant: "You just pick up a sister, do you want to make it like this?" β
"How not? How important is a girlfriend to be a sister? If my girlfriend comes back, you see if I pick it up or not. β
"Yours is yours." Instructor Ming shook his head again, and said to the purser who had signed the cabin record book: "I am willing to lose the bet." β
The purser pursed his lips and smiled.
The captain was a little depressed: "Give me your villain's proud face!" β
"What if you can't take it?" The purser continued to laugh.
"Why can't you take it? There are times when you lose. β
"No way, I made a bet with the co-pilot, I said, if it wasn't my sister, he would treat our entire crew to dinner."
Instructor Ming reacted: "Dare to love you, are you a two-headed bet?" β
"Of course, it's about the welfare of our entire cabin crew!" The purser turned his head to look at Zong Guang, raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you say yes, co-pilot." β
"Yes, my meal is also booked, and when you are free to tell me, I will find a place."
"Eh, Ms. Meng, your brother is really good."
"Makes the purser smile."
Dream Heart and Zong Guang didn't say a few words, and then they hurriedly separated again.
Dad was waiting for her outside Baiyun Airport.
China Southern Airlines' shuttle bus waits for the crew under the plane.
A thousand words can only be said when there is an opportunity.

γPiano Commentγ
What do you guys think of the meme of flying a plane to pick up people?
This scene is not imaginary.
My best friend's boyfriend is a pilot.
When she came back from studying in the UK, her boyfriend flew to pick her up.
But not China Southern Airlines.
Her boyfriend was still a relatively new co-pilot at the time and couldn't fly international routes.
She was picked up by her boyfriend on a plane when she was transiting in the imperial capital.
My girlfriend didn't sit in first class, business class, or economy class.
She came back from the cockpit reserved for the cadet pilots and the backup crew.
At that time, because of her words, I was a little stimulated.
She said: [What is first class and business class, have you ever sat in the cockpit? γ
After the excitement, he said that he would take me to experience it.
It didn't take long for the Internet celebrity to enter the cockpit and sit in the driver's seat in violation of the law.
Since then, all airlines have not allowed non-crew members in the cockpit.
Not being able to experience riding in the cockpit is a small regret, but also a great peace of mind.
Flight safety is no trivial matter, and it is the responsibility of every passenger not to allow non-crew members to enter under the premise that it cannot ensure that everyone who enters the cockpit is in good order.
There is also a trivia that domestic airlines are now not allowed to appear husband and wife.
is that the husband is the captain and the wife is the purser, and such a match is not allowed.
The dispatch system of the airline will directly separate the crew and cabin crew who are in a husband and wife relationship.
(The same goes for female captains and male pursers...... οΌ
The reason for this rule is that a couple of crew members got divorced and got on the plane.
Imagine that scene -
Aunt Xue knocked on the cockpit door......
Open the door, open the door......
