When he put the 15,000 pocket money into the bucket bag, Chen Wen had mixed feelings in his heart.

In January, he worked hard to sell the establishment and sold it for fifteen thousand, and that money became the principal of his take-off. It's only been half a year, and the same amount of 15,000 cash can only be called pocket money in front of him.

Su Qianqian changed into a pink dress and accompanied Chen Wen to the train station.

The two said goodbye at the entrance of the pit stop.

Su Qianqian asked, "When will you come back?"

Chen Wen smiled: "I haven't set off yet, so you can't bear me?"

Su Qianqian nodded vigorously: "It's only been a few days since you came back, and you're going to leave again!"

Chen Wen said: "If it takes 10 to 15 working days to process the passport, then I will come back soon, and I will ask my classmate Xu Xiaoqian to get the passport." If it only takes 5 working days, I will stay in Hongcheng, get my passport in person and take the train back. ”

Su Qianqian said: "When I see Xu Xiaoqian, say hello to her for me." Oh, there is another girl, last May Day we brought a lot of reference books over, to Xu Xiaoqian and one of your senior sisters, I forgot what the name was. ”

Chen Wen said: "Lin Ling'er. ”

Su smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Chen Wen said again: "Lin Ling'er is my junior high school sister, and her father is Vice Principal Lin of the Second Railway Elementary School. ”

Su Qianqian asked, "I seem to have heard you say that Lin Ling'er wants to take the Fudan exam?"

Chen Wen nodded: "I don't know how she did in the college entrance examination this time, I'm busy with passports and selling preparations, and I'll talk to her when the time comes." Well, don't use this kind of jealous look, I'll make an appointment with Xu Xiaoqian!"

Su Qianqian scolded: "you! I'm not jealous! Okay, you come in quickly!"

Chen Wen carried the bucket bag on his back, turned around and walked into the entrance of the station.

Su Qianqian kept looking at the entrance of the station, and she didn't turn around and go home until Chen Wen disappeared into the passage.

Summer has arrived, and it can be a pain to take the train, especially in the non-air-conditioned carriages.

In 1992, in addition to the soft sleeper carriages, which were air-conditioned, the hard-sleeper and hard-seat carriages were air-conditioned, only electric fans.

The electric fan of the hard sleeper was located on the ceiling between the two sets of beds, and Chen Wen climbed on the upper bunk, and the fan hung more than a meter above his side.

The fan shook its head and made a loud noise while blowing the wind. Chen Wen was lying on the bunk, and if he raised his legs, he could touch the protective frame of the fan.

After crossing Songjiang, Chen Wen climbed down from the bunk, bought a boxed lunch, and made do with filling his stomach for most of the time.

After eating, sitting on the folding chair on the side of the aisle, after a few hours of stupe, and climbed back to the top bunk, Chen Wen fell asleep with difficulty in the incomparable nostalgia for the air conditioner.

......

Monday, July 13.

The train arrives at Hongcheng Station on the hour.

Chen Wen did not have large luggage, carried a bucket bag, and easily left the station. Leave the exit, walk right into Erqi North Road, walk a few hundred meters and turn left into the back street of the railway.

Passing by Zhang Juan's tofu shop, he was called into the store by his enemies in his previous life.

"Chen Wen, you're back again!" Zhang Juan beckoned, "Ah Wang, quickly pour a bowl of soy milk for my classmate." ”

"I can't eat enough just to drink soy milk, so I'll go buy some steamed buns and fritters first. Chen Wen said with a smile.

"Ah Wang, go to the steamed bun shop over there and buy some meat buns and come back!" Zhang Juan assigned her honest fiancé again.

The tofu shop also sells hemp balls and cakes, but Chen Wen doesn't like to eat sweets for breakfast, Zhang Juan and Chen Wen have known each other for many years, and they know the taste of Chen Wen's food, so naturally they will not recommend her family's breakfast.

"Zhang Juan, you are now more and more like Boss Sun's temperament!" Chen Wen teased.

"Boss Sun, who is it?" Zhang Juan has a limited level of education, and she can't hear who Chen Wen is talking about.

"Sun Erniang! in "Water Margin"!" Chen Wen said with a smile.

"I'm not Sun Erniang! You are talking nonsense!" Zhang Juan scolded with a smile.

After eating and drinking, Chen Wen left five yuan.

Zhang Juan naturally refused to accept it.

Chen Wen said: "If you don't collect money, I won't enter your store next time." I'm going to stay in Hongcheng for a few days, and I'm going to come to your house to eat and drink. ”

Zhang Juan accepted the money and handed it to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen said with a smile: "I'll go home and take a shower first, and say goodbye to Zhang Juan!

"Okay, go slowly, come often!" Ngawang's voice came from within.

Holding back sweat on the train, mixed with the unique sour smell of the summer carriage, Chen Wen was a little disgusted with the smell of his body.

Back at his home, opening the water valve to release the rusty water, Chen Wen comfortably took a cold shower and brushed his teeth.

After washing the dirty clothes, drying them on the balcony, and changing into refreshing clothes, Chen Wen went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau with a bucket bag on his back.

When he came to the Exit and Entry Administration Department of the Municipal Bureau, Chen Wen received the number and sat on a bench to wait.

There are not many people handling business, and there are more than a dozen people in front of Chen Wen.

Look at the people around you, all of them are here to apply for passports. The waiting time was very boring, Chen Wen took a closer look and found a lot of interesting things.

There is an aunt, who is about 50 years old, who is also applying for a private passport. Big Mom's target country is the United States.

The aunt said that her son went to the United States ten years ago, got a green card last year, and obtained an invitation letter from the United States Immigration Service to visit relatives, and sent the invitation letter back to China, and the aunt took this document and applied for passports for her and her wife. When the passport application arrives, go to the U.S. consulate to apply for a visa.

A person next to him said: "Auntie, you are like this, it is easy to be rejected by the immigration officer." ”

The aunt asked, "Why did he refuse to sign us? We went to see our son, and we have proper paperwork!"

The man said, "The consular officer will think that you have obvious immigration tendencies. ”

The aunt said: "Where do we have a tendency to immigrate, we just used to see our sons and grandchildren!"

The man smiled and said nothing. The aunt didn't continue to nag with the man.

Chen Wennao made up for the situation of the aunt's family.

Her son went abroad ten years ago, probably in 1982 to study in the United States. At that time, international students could only be sent by the government.

The aunt said that her son got a green card last year. Chen Wen judged that after his aunt's son graduated from studying abroad, that is, around 1985, he did not return to China to serve the motherland, but was "black" in the United States.

After 7 or 8 years of "black household" career, the aunt's son caught up with the immigration order issued by US President George W. Bush in 1991, and obtained a green card with hundreds of thousands of people in the same situation.

Speaking of this "black household turned positive", we must mention that the US President George Bush at this time, that is, the elder Bush, during the administration of this person There were many famous events, such as the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, and the subtle role played by the United States in the evolution of Eastern Europe, and for example, the elder Bush issued a war order and launched the Gulf War, including Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.

In the 70s, Bush Sr. served as the director of the US Liaison Office in China, and often took his wife on a bicycle tour of the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. Like Tang Jin, Bush Sr. is particularly fond of roast duck.

During the George H.W. Bush administration, in 1991 he issued an "immigration order" to issue green cards to hundreds of thousands of international students stranded in the United States.

Among this group of people, a large number of people are international students from China in the 80s. They did not return to China after graduation, and remained in the United States, where they have always been black households, doing the lowest manual labor, and hiding from the police and immigration officials like rats all day long, just to get the "American life of a car house".

In the calendar of the previous life, in a few years, the movies "Endless" and "See You or Leave" directed by Feng Xiaogang have scenes related to history.

Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong directed the TV series "Beijingers in New York" also has such a role, the male supporting actor Da Li has been in New York for many years, and the overseas Chinese in the circle thought that he had already gotten a green card, but after Da Li died unexpectedly, people knew that he had always been a black household. Da Li's cemetery was bought by the actor played by Jiang Wen, and the daughter of the actor played by Ma Xiaoqing joked that if you bought this cemetery, you let Uncle Li stay in the United States forever.

By the way, Ma Xiaoqing also played a cameo role in the drama "Seahorse", and the role she played was a dragon set.

Bush Sr.'s immigration order has provided 500,000 international students stranded in the United States with legal status for permanent residence, and more than half of them are "black" students from China. The move was supported by many minorities in the United States, including Chinese Americans.

However, a year later, in the 1992 US presidential election, the elder Bush lost to Clinton.

Why did this happen, when Bush Sr. lost the election when he had a good reputation among the people?
