It is more than a thousand kilometers from Sijiucheng to Bingcheng. In later generations, it took about two hours to fly. Today's planes travel at a slower speed, but it only takes more than three hours.
But even such a short time seems extremely long to my eldest cousin who has been away from home for two years and is already eager to return home.
Ever since the plane took off, she had been looking out the window, wishing that she could immediately see the city where she was born and raised. However, while she was excited in her heart, she was also a little inexplicably uneasy at the moment.
Especially when she saw Fan Huosheng sitting nervously next to her, her anxiety became more serious.
That’s weird!
The strange feeling made her eldest cousin very irritable. She stopped staring out the window and turned to look at Fan Huosheng. Her mood became increasingly unstable. She frowned and said, "Go and change with my brother-in-law. I have something to do."
Tell him."
"become."
Fan Huosheng, who had been secretly admiring Duan Fengchun just now, stood up rather reluctantly, found Chu Heng who was drinking a bottle of Moutai that was given for free on the plane, and said: "Brother Chu, Feng Chun'er asked you to follow me.
Change your position, she'll come to you if she has something to do."
"Looking for me?" Chu Heng stood up in confusion, asked Fan Huosheng to sit in his seat, and walked back carrying the bottle of wine he had just drank two taels and a bag of spiced peanuts made by Silly Zhu.
Soon he came to sit next to his eldest cousin, turned his head and asked with a smile: "What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing. I just see that Fan Huosheng is upset, so I want you to change with him." The eldest cousin reached out and grabbed a peanut and threw it into her mouth, then turned to look out the window.
"Why are you upset?" Chu Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I don't want to say it, come on, let's have a drink." The eldest cousin remained silent, turned around and waved to the stewardess for a wine cup, and started drinking with Chu Heng.
Chu Heng looked at the worried Duan Fengchun, drinking wine thoughtfully, with a half-smile on his face.
This look was all too familiar to him.
I remember that when he sent the sick Ni Yinghong home, she looked like this.
He is afraid that his family will not like him.
However, Chu Heng did not criticize his elder cousin, and drank happily. After a while, the two of them divided a bottle of Moutai, and then they did not ask for any more, and each took advantage of the wine to take a nap on their seats.
.
The two of them slept in a daze for less than two hours before the plane finally arrived at its destination, Bingcheng Majiagou Airport.
This airport was built by a kid from a racecourse in the past 30 years. It is located between Xiangfang and Nangang Districts, at the south end of Zhongshan Road. It was in use until 1979 when it was closed and the location was moved to Taiping Airport.
When Chu Heng and the four of them got off the plane, a bone-chilling cold suddenly hit their faces. Fan Huosheng, who was wearing less clothes, shivered instantly. Not only was his face numb from the cold, but he also felt that the clothes on his body were like decorations.
A cold air penetrated into the body through the clothes, and in a blink of an eye, the whole person was chilled from the inside out, and his bones were trembling with cold.
"We've finally arrived."
The eldest cousin, who was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, didn't seem to notice anything. She squinted her eyes and took a deep breath of the familiar cold smell in the air intoxicatedly, and she instantly became energized.
"Oh, it's really freezing today!" Chu Heng, who was wearing a sweater, cotton jacket and cotton trousers, a Chinese tunic jacket and a woolen coat, couldn't help but shiver at this time, and then hurriedly greeted the others and trotted in
Not far away was a beige terminal building with only two floors.
Several people went in and waited for a short while before getting their luggage.
Fan Huosheng didn't say that he was cold-resistant at this time. As soon as he got his luggage, he quickly changed into cotton shoes and put on Chu Heng's general's trousers.
The eldest cousin looked at him who was still shivering from the cold. After hesitating for a moment, he took off his scarf and handed it over with a look of disgust on his face: "Why don't you listen to me when I tell you to wear more clothes? Do you know how powerful this time you are?
Put it on quickly, or you’ll freeze to death if you go out!”
"Ah? No, no, I'll do it. Just hang around and I'll help you with the cold." How could Fan Huosheng want it? It's so cold outside. If he wears this scarf, Duan Fengchun won't be able to bear the cold.
"Wear it as you are told, don't make any marks!" The eldest cousin hung the scarf around his neck without any explanation, and then asked worriedly: "Have you remembered everything I told you yesterday?"
"Remember, remember." Feeling the fragrance on the scarf, Fan Huosheng blushed and nodded: "Your father likes those who are diligent, your mother likes those who are honest, your grandpa..."
"Okay, okay, just remember, let's go." With Chu Heng's teasing eyes, his eldest cousin quickly interrupted him, and then the group of people came out of the terminal and took a bus to leave the airport.
Majiagou Airport is right in the city. They got off the bus not far from the airport and then transferred to a bus to enter Xiangfang District.
At that time, Ice City was the pearl of the Eurasian Continental Bridge and China's heavy industry base. Its prosperity was not much worse than that of the Forty-Nine Cities. Especially in Xiangfang District, there were many large factories that would be famous in later generations. It was even more impressive.
.
The streets are busy with traffic and there are many shops. From time to time, you can see some European-style buildings, and the pedestrians are also dressed in a slightly western style.
Ice City has a long history. It has become an international commercial port as early as the early 20th century. More than 160,000 expatriates from 33 countries have gathered here. 19 countries have set up consulates here, so there are many exotic-style buildings.
Chu Heng and the well-informed Cen Hao were not surprised by this, but Fan Huosheng, who had returned from a long trip, was dazzled by what he saw and was amazed.
At this time, the eldest cousin had no intention of being a tour guide and introducing the history of those buildings to them. As she got closer and closer to home, she became more and more excited.
The bus drove for more than ten minutes and stopped at a stop near the electrical machine factory. The eldest cousin quickly asked Chu Heng and others to get off the bus together, walked into an alley with luggage, and finally stopped outside a small courtyard.
"Dong dong dong!"
Looking at the familiar courtyard door in front of him, Duan Fengchun excitedly patted it a few times, and then shouted loudly: "Mom! Open the door!"
"Bang!"
There was a sound like something being kicked over from the courtyard, and then the door opened and someone hurried towards the door.
"Is it Fengchun?"
"It's me, Mom!"
"Squeak!"
The courtyard door opened, and the eldest cousin's mother, Ni Yinghong's aunt, appeared behind the door. She was short, bloated, with a round face, short ear-length hair, and was wearing a washed-out light blue work uniform.
"You damn girl, you still know how to come back, why don't you die outside!"
When she saw her daughter, her eldest aunt's eyes instantly turned red. She stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "I miss you so much!"
"I miss you too, Mom." My eldest cousin, who had never shed a tear outside, also had tears in her eyes at this time, and she hugged my mother tightly.
Chu Heng and the others did not disturb the couple, but stood silently outside the door waiting.
"Is Fengchun back?"
At this time, grandpa and grandma came out of the house on crutches, and were extremely surprised to see Chu Heng outside the door.
"Oh my god, Chu Heng is here too, come in quickly, what are you doing standing outside!"
