Chapter 187: A drop in the ocean
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zhaoxia and a few people ate and drank, made strategies, and went to Zhang Yongqiu's house to pay New Year's greetings.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, all kinds of shopping, shopping, preparing all kinds of things to be used for the trip, eating and drinking, and walking around the sea market to enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, four big and one small, went straight to the airport, the first stop in Bangkok.
Chang was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, squeezed between Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan and chattered all night, and when he arrived at the airport in the morning, his eyes were blazing, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
When I entered the airport, I ran and jumped, holding my mother's hand for a while, going to pull my godmother for a while, or chattering about Lu Shanchang, who was on a plane for the first time.
Like a hard-working little bee.
"Uncle Chief, don't be afraid when the plane rises, it's like sitting on the sofa watching TV at home, steady, nothing happens...... My ears hurt a little bit, and I grew to the point that I brought candy, and I will be fine after a while. ”
The first time Lu Shanchang took a plane, his expression was both excited and nervous, his eyes lingered greedily in the airport, and he smiled from time to time to respond to Changzhi's words.
On the plane in the early morning, several people didn't have breakfast, and Lu Shanchang saw that there were still all kinds of food sold in the airport, and while feeling the convenience of travel, he said that he wanted to invite everyone to breakfast.
When he was so long that he knew how to run a family, he said that there would be in-flight meals on the plane, and there was no need to spend extra money, so Lu Shanchang was stunned for a while.
When I got on the plane, it was a large passenger plane with two aisles, with electronic screens in front of each seat, and five people sat in two rows. arranged a position for Chang Zhi and Lu Shanchang, and the two exchanged with relish over the porthole.
"I didn't see that this kid is quite a good teacher."
After the plane climbed up, he was still staring at Lu Shanchang in the front seat, reassuring him not to be nervous, Lin Zhaoxia watched Coke very much, and bit his ear with Zhao Guangyuan.
Zhao Guangyuan turned his head and glanced at Changzhi, and smiled helplessly. This child is luckier than him, born outside the palace, grew up in an ordinary family, raised innocent and lively, full of childishness at this age.
It's actually pretty good. Sometimes he can't help but envy his son for having such a beautiful childhood.
glanced at Lu Shanchang in the front row, and whispered to Lin Zhaoxia: "Not to mention cousin, even if I have taken a plane once, I am very nervous." This feeling of hanging in the air makes people's hearts not fall. ”
He loved the speed and thrill of flying in the sky, but he was nervous about its uncontrollable control.
Zhang Yongqiu in the front row turned his head and smiled at Lin Zhaoxia, "These two old presumptions, it seems that you have to take them out to see the world." ”
Lin Zhaoxia couldn't help but laugh.
And Lu Shanchang, who was sitting next to Zhang Yiqiu, blushed slightly, "Aren't you scared when you take a plane for the first time?" While asking, trying to relieve the tension, he still held the armrests on both sides tightly.
"Nervous, worse than you." Zhang Yiqiu smiled at him.
Lu Shanchang casually looked out of the porthole, the buildings on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, and the white clouds in the sky floated over, blocking his view from looking down. He only felt as if he was floating in mid-air, swaying, his feet not touching the ground, which was frightening.
Looked back and closed his eyes.
Zhang Yongqiu was happy when he saw it, and stretched out his hand to cover the back of his hand, "It's okay, why don't I switch places with you later?" ”
The back of Lu Shanchang's hand trembled under her warmth, and he lowered his eyes to see the overlap of his hands, and his ears immediately warmed up.
"No, no. I'm fine, it's good to look outside. Or do you like to watch it? Me, I let you? ”
Zhang Yiqiu saw that he was stammering, and he couldn't support it, but he didn't show it on his face, "No." I vomited on the plane, and I gave you the window position you wanted. ”
Half an hour later, the flight attendant pushed the dining cart to deliver breakfast, so long that he shared food with Lu Shanchang on the seat, Lu Shanchang looked at the movie on the electronic screen in front of the seat, and then had Zhang Yiqiu's comfort beside him, and quickly adapted.
And Changzhi, after breakfast, quickly fell asleep. Lin Zhaoxia covered him with a small blanket and slept against Zhao Guangyuan.
The plane flew in the air for nearly five hours and landed at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
fell to the ground and walked in the airport, Lu Shanchang felt less fluttering, and felt that his soul had finally returned to its place.
Zhao Guangyuan on the side also breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Changzhi, adapted well, got up after sleeping, and jumped around again, looking excited.
There is a long queue at the landing visa window at the airport, and there are many people who come to travel during the Spring Festival.
All kinds of people are full of people, tall, short, fat and thin, all kinds of skin, all kinds of clothing, all kinds of hair accessories. There are many people who wrap themselves in black, showing only their faces or eyes.
Even if Lu Shanchang and Zhao Guangyuan were extremely concentrated, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and Changzhi stared at each other directly.
"It's not polite to stare at others." Lin Zhaoxia pulled Changzhi back and told him again.
Long enough to retract his gaze, lying on her waist, from time to time curiously skimming his eyes, and from time to time sweeping his gaze to the travelers in line, his eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.
The queue was too boring, so long that he took the Thai baht and rummaged through it in his hand, "Mother, is this their emperor above?" ”
"Yes, their king."
"Mother, I thought there was no king here."
"There are many countries that have kings and royal families. But most of these kings no longer exercised the power to govern the country. ”
Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang couldn't help but take the baht and looked at it in their hands.
When the two arrived in China, they knew that the world is really convenient in the use of coins, this banknote is easier to carry than copper coins, gold and silver ingots, and less easy to damage than silver tickets, and the color is good-looking, the anti-counterfeiting is good, and it is full of science and technology.
The two of them looked at the Thai baht seriously, and felt that they were going to study it out of flowers.
After waiting in line for two hours, it was considered to be out of the customs. Several people saw the driver who picked him up, and hurriedly followed him out of the station and went straight to the hotel.
Out of the hotel, a heat wave came to the face, and several people couldn't help but pull their necklines and sleeves, so long that they shouted to their mothers to take off their coats while looking at the scenery through the car windows.
By the time the group settled down at the hotel, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing that the three big and small men came together, they were not tired, and they looked very interested, Lin Zhaoxia did not rest, and Zhang Yiqiu took them out of the hotel.
The five got into a songthaew and set off for the pier.
The songthaews are ventilated on three sides, just coming from the cold winter of the sea market, and now they are blown by the hot wind of Southeast Asia, and everyone only feels novel. As long as he was sandwiched between his father and mother, he grabbed one in one hand, looking at the various people in the car and the exotic scenery flying by on both sides.
Zhao Guangyuan's expression collapsed, holding Changzhi with one hand and Lin Zhaoxia with the other. In this strange country, the driver spoke a language he didn't understand, which made him a little at a loss, and his eyes swept over the travelers in the car one by one.
"It's fine." Lin Zhaoxia gently stroked his thigh, knowing that he was worried about their safety, and smiled to soothe.
Looking at Lu Shanchang on the other side, he also clenched his fists nervously. Lin Zhaoxia and Zhang Yiqiu glanced at each other, smiled, and talked to them about what they knew.
The cart bounced quickly to the pier, and the five people chartered a long-tail boat and paraded down the Chao Phraya River.
The boat swayed, the river rippled, except for the boatman, there were only five of them, and everyone looked relaxed, full of interest to look at the exotic customs on both sides of the strait.
In the canals, small boats shuttle endlessly, and from time to time there are various boats selling goods through the passenger boats, selling fresh fruits, vegetables, handicrafts and other miscellaneous goods to tourists, speaking various languages.
is so long that he is very interested in everything, and from time to time his eyes glow green and call his mother, Lin Zhaoxia is also satisfied one by one. Seeing that the customers were interested, the owner of the ship stopped his oars, hooked the hull of the ship with a hook, and leaned over to sell it to them in half-baked Mandarin.
There are Chinese signs everywhere in Thailand, and the staff everywhere and those selling goods on the street can speak a few words in Chinese, and even Zhao Guangyuan can communicate with the locals without hindrance.
After a while, he hugged all kinds of fruits and all kinds of hot and cold food in his arms.
The child's eyes were bright, and he pulled his mother and godmother to eat all the way and buy all the way. I also learned to bargain.
"Changzhi, didn't your mother send you to learn a foreign language, tell them a few words." Zhang Yiqiu's mouth was encouraging.
Changzhi lowered his head shyly, "Godmother, Changzhi can't say it yet." ”
"It's okay, it. You follow along. ”
When they arrived at the floating market, the boat was close, Zhang Yongqiu spoke a foreign language, inquired with the shipper, you came and I bargained, and Lu Shanchang and Changzhi were stunned, and their eyes were full of worship.
Zhao Guangyuan held Lin Zhaoxia's arm, "You will too?" ”
"I'm about the same level as Qiuqiu, we are both exam-oriented education, and we see it better than we say."
Usually there is no foreign language environment, and I speak dry for a while, but it is much smoother when I get out. Lin Zhaoxia also followed all the way and jumped up in foreign language from time to time to ask the price, and his eyes encouraged him to grow.
With the encouragement of his mother, he will boldly jump out of a word or two, and occasionally say a simple sentence or two.
Zhao Guangyuan looked at his son with surprise in his eyes.
Lu Shanchang smiled and encouraged: "If you study hard, no matter how bad you are in the future, you will be able to go to any official and half-position in Honglu Temple." ”
Honglu Temple is the official office of Daqi responsible for receiving foreign guests and foreign affairs activities, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Communications of Huaguo. When I got everyone's encouragement, I gradually became bolder.
However, he has the heart to talk to people, but the time to learn foreign languages is short, the vocabulary is small, and he has no goods in his guts, so he can only stare dryly.
Seeing that my mother and godmother can also communicate skillfully in other people's words in a foreign country, the self-motivation in my heart immediately burns thickly.
The boat travels leisurely, and in a blink of an eye, it is getting dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun spreads in the canal, creating layers of golden waves. The neon lights on both sides of the strait are lit up, and the characteristic residential houses on both sides, the golden and splendid temples that can be seen in the distance, are full of exotic customs.
The five were satisfied, and they looked back frequently when they went ashore.
I walked along the coast and took a car to the local Chinatown for dinner. There is no problem with communication here, as if it is still in China.
The five of them had a full meal, passed by some lively bars, and also stopped to take a look. All kinds of fruits and food are sold on the street, and the stall owners shout one after another.
What I have never seen, what I have not eaten, everyone is very interested in buying and tasting, until my stomach is so strong that I can't walk, and then I go back to the hotel.
"Mother, it's fun!"
Chang Zhi hugged Lin Zhaoxia and said today's impression, but the excitement in his eyes still did not fade.
"You'll have had enough to play this time before you go back. It's only the first day today, so I'll have a good night's rest and I'll have the energy to continue shopping tomorrow. ”
It's so long that she dots her little head again and again, and her mother has made a strategy, and it will be more and more fun in the future! I'm so excited to grow up, these are things I haven't seen or seen before. It's great to come out this time!
He's so happy!
The light in Zhao Guangyuan's eyes did not dissipate, he thought that he had already perceived the world he had not known in Haishi, but when he came out, he knew that there was a world outside.
What I used to know was just the most inconspicuous drop in the ocean.
He took Larin Zhaoxia's hand, and there was a pleading in his eyes.
Lin Zhaoxia understood, glanced at Lu Shanchang and Zhang Yongqiu, who were looking at the photos next to each other, and shook his head: "In a foreign country, I am a little uneasy to live alone with my cousin. ”
Five people asked for two double-standard rooms, one for her and Qiuqiu, and one for Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang.
Zhao Guangyuan wanted their family of three to live in one room, but Lin Zhaoxia didn't agree.
Zhang Yongqiu heard it on the side and tilted his head, "Otherwise, I'll be with him." He pouted in the direction of Lu Shanchang.
Lu Shanchang's face burned as soon as he banged. Hurriedly stood up, helpless, "I, I can live in my own room." "Don't dare to look at Zhang Yiqiu.
Seeing his red face, Zhang Jiqiu raised his eyebrows at Lin Zhaoxia and laughed at Lu Shanchang.
Lu Shanchang laughed so much that he almost dug a pit and buried himself in it.
Although he and Zhang Yiqiu have been familiar with each other on WeChat, he still feels his heart beating faster and uncontrollable in the face of her inappropriate words from time to time.
"Don't tease your cousin, be careful that he won't carry your bag tomorrow." Lin Zhaoxia also smiled.
"You're not going to carry my bag tomorrow?" Zhang Yiqiu tilted his head to look at him, staring straight into his eyes.
Lu Shanchang didn't dare to look at her, "It's carrying, your bag doesn't weigh much." "The voice is very soft.
Even Zhao Guangyuan couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.
The next morning, the five of them slept until they woke up naturally. They focus on a leisurely tour, there is a long time, and they don't want the children to be too tired, a few people don't rush to the attractions, and there is plenty of time, and they sleep until the last breakfast moment of the hotel.
The hotel booked well, although the breakfast was a tail, but the breakfast buffet was quite a lot.
Changzhi and Zhao Guangyuan have stayed in the hotel, and they have eaten the buffet breakfast more than once or twice, and they are very proficient in picking up the plate and eating by themselves. Lu Shanchang was a beat slower.
Zhang Jiqiu followed him patiently and taught him.
Lu Shanchang sat in front of Zhao Guangyuan with two full plates, and sighed with emotion, "This is really convenient, all kinds of food, all kinds of categories, all kinds of flavors, very distinctive, everything to eat and drink." ”
It's so convenient to meet the different taste needs of travelers from all over the world.
Zhao Guangyuan elegantly cut a piece of flying cake with a knife, forked it into his mouth with a fork, nodded in agreement with Lu Shanchang's words, and his eyes swept over the long dining table and the crowd of people in the restaurant, his eyes sighed.
Sure enough, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and the depictions in the book are more vivid, how can it be more real than seeing it with your feet and eyes?
When I came out, I realized that what I had learned in the past was just a drop in the ocean.
After a few people leisurely finished breakfast, they were ready to set off.
