Chapter 53: Going Home
Gao Yang registered his name and hometown on the plane, because evacuation of overseas Chinese requires accurate data on the number of people to do its best to avoid the Chinese still living in Libya. However, Gao Yang reported Cui Bo's name and information on his passport. It was not because Gao Yang did not want to hide his identity, but because he did not want the embassy to think that there were still people stranded in Libya.
After registering, Gao Yang slept beautifully. Although Il 76 was not as comfortable as a real passenger plane, this was the most reliable sleep Gao Yang had in the past three years.
The plane finally landed at the Capital Airport. When the plane landed, the cabin cried in a whole lot. For the people in the cabin, the frightened they were in Libya, and they are now completely safe.
Gao Yang was treated preferentially as a wounded person. He was the first to get off the plane, and he was helped off. When he passed between the passengers in the cabin, everyone in the cabin stood up and applauded him.
"Brother, I wish you a speedy recovery."
"Young man, we're home and nothing is gone. Let's go home and take good care of our injuries."
"Brother, you're already suffering this time. Now I'm back to our Gada, and you're making delicious food and drinks. It's nothing to do in a few days. We are destined to be together. Let's say hello to your parents for everyone."
Gao Yang's face turned red. He was very excited, but his blushing was more shameful. The more enthusiastic these people he had never met, the more shameful he was, because he relied on cheating to get into this military aircraft that was originally provided to women, children, and the elderly and the weak.
Gao Yang could only bow to everyone, thanked everyone loudly, and walked off the plane amid the applause and blessings of everyone.
The plane took off at around 11:00 a.m. Libyan time, because there is a six-hour time difference between Libya and the capital. After more than ten hours of flight, it was about four a.m. It was still completely dark at this time, but many people came to pick up the plane, and several of them carried cameras.
Gao Yang was gloriously the representative of all the passengers on the plane. As soon as he got off the plane, a middle-aged man presented Gao Yang with a bouquet of flowers, and then said with a serious look: "On behalf of the people of the whole country, I welcome you home, you have suffered."
Gao Yang took the flowers and wanted to say something, but tears remained unsatisfied. However, Gao Yang did not feel embarrassed because he had experienced too many hardships when he returned home, which was different from his compatriots who had just been withdrawn. Gao Yang had been waiting for this day for more than three years.
Gao Yang was deeply moved. He bowed to the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, thank you for everything the country has done for us, and thank you for your efforts."
The middle-aged man didn't say much nonsense. He just expressed his welcome to Gao Yang and his group and then let him go aside. A female reporter originally wanted to interview Gao Yang, but Gao Yang's injuries relieved him of the siege and allowed Gao Yang to walk out of the airport smoothly.
Gao Yang left the airport. The pick-up staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted Gao Yang to go to the hospital for treatment before leaving, and also gave Gao Yang a piece of clothing, because Gao Yang's clothes were not only torn, but also dyed with blood. He also said that if Gao Yang had no money to go home, he could provide him with travel expenses, but Gao Yang was absolutely shameless to ask others to provide travel expenses, and he had tens of thousands of dollars on him.
Gao Yang exchanged more than 2,000 RMB from the foreign currency exchange point at the airport, then bought a suit at the airport and changed it. He took a taxi and headed straight to the train station.
After arriving at the train station, Gao Yang successfully bought a high-speed train ticket. If he took the high-speed train, it would only take a little more than two hours from the capital to his house.
It seems that I have experienced too many hardships when I go home, and Gao Yang's journey home is now surprisingly smooth.
There was nothing to say all the way, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, Gao Yang returned to the city where he grew up.
Gao Yang suppressed his excitement, got into a taxi and went directly to the community where his home was. Seeing the familiar community, Gao Yang felt his heart tighter and tighter for some reason. After the taxi entered the community and arrived downstairs of his home, Gao Yang could hardly breathe.
After giving a taxi a hundred-dollar bill, saying no, Gao Yang was shaking all over. He almost fell while stepping on his feet, stumbled into the elevator, and pressed down to the floor of his house.
Gao Yang's family lives in a high-end community, with a large area and high floors, with a total of twenty-six floors. Gao Yang's family lives in the top floor, which doesn't take long to go from the first floor to the top floor. However, this period of time makes Gao Yang feel extremely long, and even his mind is full of random thoughts, fearing that something goes wrong with the elevator will fall down, or lock him in the elevator.
After finally waiting for the elevator to reach the 26th floor, Gao Yang left the elevator door and stood at the door for a few breaths, Gao Yang rang the doorbell with his trembling fingers.
Gao Yang's mind was blank. He just stood blankly at the door, but after the door opened, someone he didn't know came out.
The woman in her forties opened the door. When the woman saw Gao Yang, she looked impatient and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Gao Yang was completely stunned. He looked at the woman he had never known before, and thought he had found the wrong place. He couldn't help but say blankly: "Is this Gao Wu's home?"
The woman who opened the door looked as expected and said impatiently: "This place was his house, but now we have bought this house. If you look for Gao Wu, go to his original old house to find it."
Without waiting for Gao Yang to say anything, the woman slammed the door, leaving only Gao Yang with a confused forehead.
After a moment of silence, Gao Yang gave up the idea of asking clearly, but immediately turned around and took the elevator downstairs, found a taxi as quickly as possible, and headed towards his original home.
Gao Yang's old home is an old community, not far from the new house. It can be reached in ten minutes by taxi. In the ten minutes in the car, Gao Yang's heart was already in a mess, and his mind was full of wondering why his parents sold the new house.
After arriving at the old community, Gao Yang got out of the car and ran wildly, found the building of his house, ran to the third floor in one breath, and after standing at the door, he took a few breaths. Gao Yang wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't know why he didn't dare to reach out.
Gao Yang forced himself not to think about it, and knocked on the door with his trembling hands a few times. Soon, he heard a sound that he had heard in his dreams countless times.
"Who?"
After hearing his mother's voice, Gao Yang's heart that had been tugging for a moment finally fell into his stomach. He cried and said, "Mom, it's me, I'm back."
Before Gao Yang could answer, his mother was already opening the door. With the sound of opening the door, Gao Yang's mother's voice sounded again. But for some reason, Gao Yang's mother's voice was full of nervousness.
"How is it? Is there any news?"
Gao Yang's mother opened the door, just glanced at Gao Yang, and immediately stood there in a daze. After looking up and down, tears immediately covered her eyes.
Gao Yang's mother shook her head vigorously, wiped her eyes, and then said timidly in a trembling voice: "Are you Yangyang?"
Gao Yang had imagined what to say after seeing his mother countless times, but the words he had thought were thrown behind him at this time, and thousands of words turned into one sentence.
