242. Go abroad
In 05, there were not many airports in China that could fly directly to Thailand, and general flights had to be transferred once, or even twice.
Now I haven't been to Thailand for several years, I don't know if the situation has changed now, anyway, when the sixth uncle bought us a ticket, he could only let us go to Guangzhou first, and board a plane from the airport there before we could fly straight over.
When we went, Uncle Six walked with us all the way, so we didn't bother much on the way.
In addition to the sixth uncle himself, there was also a beautiful woman in her early twenties, sweet appearance, tall and delicate figure.
It's just that the skin of this big beauty is not very white, it is about the same as Uncle Mei's complexion, slightly yellowish, I thought it was a pity at the time, such a beautiful big beauty, but the complexion was a little yellow, and later I learned that it was called wheat color, which was deliberately sunned by the sea.
Uncle Mei quietly asked the sixth uncle if this beautiful woman was his daughter-in-law.
The sixth uncle just smiled ambiguously and said four words: "confidant." ”
Although I was young at the time, I also knew what the "confidante" was for, it seems that the outside world is indeed very complicated, and the sixth uncle is really playing.
When we arrived at the airport, Uncle Mei and I were dumbfounded in the terminal, this was the first time we came to the airport, and I didn't expect the space inside to be so large.
If it weren't for the sixth uncle taking us, the two of us would have been lost, even when we were going around in the underground palace in Qushang, we didn't have this feeling of dizziness.
Before boarding the plane, Uncle Sixth invited us to eat a bowl of noodles at the airport, but a bowl of ordinary beef noodles actually cost fifteen yuan.
At that time, it was 05 years, and I usually went out to eat bowls of noodles for only two or three yuan, and occasionally I would say that the store was really black when I encountered five yuan noodles!
But a bowl of noodles at the airport actually costs fifteen yuan!
Uncle Mei said on the spot: "Why don't you rob this store?" ”
The sixth uncle laughed and said, "Da Yu, this is the price in the airport, you will come for the first time at first glance, and you will get used to it after coming a few more times." ”
After eating the noodles, we boarded the plane on time, and it took more than three hours to fly from Guangzhou, nearly four hours, which is neither long nor short.
When the plane took off, I sat in my seat and was scared to death, but fortunately I was young and adapted quickly.
Uncle Mei was worse than me, he said that he was uncomfortable when the plane flew together, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest, and when the plane was high, he said that his tinnitus was terrible, and he also said that he lacked oxygen.
I don't know if he is really hypoxic or psychological, so I had to ask the flight attendant to come over to help take a look, and Uncle Six laughed next to him, saying that Uncle Mei was simply scaring himself, and there would be no lack of oxygen in the plane.
Finally, the flight attendant came over to comfort him, and Uncle Mei didn't make any more trouble, and after a while, I saw that he fell asleep against his seat.
There were no words along the way, no episodes happened, and we landed safely in Thailand.
After landing, Uncle Six took us out, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.
When he called him, he spoke in Thai, muttering a lot of things that we didn't understand, and then I saw a middle-aged man with dark skin and a thin body, about 1.65 meters, running towards us, smiling and waving at us.
Uncle Six introduced us and said that this person was the driver who picked us up, and he would take us directly to the dock where we got on the boat in a while, and we could board the ship tonight.
When Uncle Mei heard this, he suddenly reacted and asked Uncle Six: "Sixth, don't you come with us?" ”
The sixth uncle hugged his confidante, shook his head with a smile and said: "I won't go, I am engaged in foreign trade, and I usually don't go to the scene, and when you get the goods up, I will be responsible for giving you a shot." ”
Uncle Six took us along the way, but as soon as we arrived abroad, we had to go our separate ways, and Uncle Mei and I were very uncertain.
The point is, Uncle Mei and I either speak Thai or English, and Uncle Mei and I can't speak or understand either, so we have become deaf and mute, and we can't communicate with foreigners.
What's more, at that time, mobile phones were not smart phones, and there were no various translation functions now.
Uncle Mei asked, "Does this driver speak Chinese?" ”
The sixth uncle shrugged his shoulders and said, "He won't." ”
"Damn, what then?" Uncle Mei said anxiously, "Then how can I communicate with him?" ”
The sixth uncle patted Uncle Mei's shoulder and said: "Big belly, don't panic, I will directly settle the fare for you, you and Rong Sheng just take the car, he directly pulls you to the dock, get off when you arrive, then someone on the dock will naturally pick you up, don't worry, it is Chinese who pick you up, then you can communicate normally." ”
After saying that, Uncle Sixth personally walked up to the driver, took out a few bills in front of us, stuffed them into his hands, and then talked to him fluently in Thai.
The driver was respectful to the sixth uncle, nodded his head, and smiled at us after accepting the money, with a very good attitude.
The sixth uncle came back and said to us, "Don't worry, I have taken care of everything and nothing will go wrong." I'm doing things, and you're still not at ease? ”
Uncle Mei still has some confidence in his old classmates, and immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, you must rest assured." ”
"That's right." The sixth uncle smiled at us and said, "Okay, hurry up, let's hurry over." When you arrive at the dock, there will be a person named Xiaobo to pick you up, I have greeted him in advance, you just have to listen to his arrangement. ”
"Understood."
Uncle Mei nodded, took me out of the airport, and got into the driver's car.
At that time, there were a lot of motorcycles in Thailand, but there were relatively few cars, so we took the car all the way out of the airport, which was very stylish.
The airport is not far from the pier, just a twenty-minute drive, and we are actually walking along the beach all the way, and I can see the sea as far as the eye can see.
After arriving at the dock, we didn't see the Xiaobo that Uncle Sixth said, and Uncle Mei guessed that the person might have been delayed, and suggested that we get off the bus and wait for a while.
As a result, when we got out of the car, the driver suddenly pulled us and chattered a lot of things that we didn't understand, although we didn't understand Thai, but looking at his gestures seemed to ask us for money.
Uncle Mei was anxious when he saw it, frowned and said, "No, didn't the sixth child pay the fare before getting on the bus?" What's going on with this driver? Why do you care if we ask for money twice? Isn't this blackmail? ”
I also think that this driver is a bit excessive, at that time the sixth uncle gave the money in front of us, I hurriedly gestured with my hand to communicate with the driver, I said: "I have given it, the money has been given a long time ago, and the sixth uncle has given you money!" ”
But I spoke in Chinese, and the driver obviously didn't understand, and he dragged us and desperately asked us for money by gesturing to count the bills.
