Until after the plane took off, Xiaoman and I kept chatting wordlessly.
But during a flight that lasted more than ten hours, it was impossible to chat all the time, so I found a cartoon for her to watch by herself, and then went to sleep when she was tired.
I was the same, I didn’t want to think too much, so I just found a movie to pass the long time.
But I didn't expect that this random movie was starring Sun Xiaojie. It was a light comedy life movie.
In the movie, Sun Xiaoxiao is a frustrated young woman who met the male protagonist by chance, and then started a ridiculous story about renting together...
The movie didn't seem interesting at first, because I don't like watching movies like this either.
But it looks really good. Sun Xiaoxiao's acting skills are there and very natural. The male protagonist is also an excellent actor in Mainland China.
Sun Xiaojie didn't fall behind at all when co-starring with him, and was even able to take over his scenes.
This movie is very well shot, both in terms of details and plot handling, but the rating is not high, with only a 7.8 rating.
After watching the entire film, I searched for several other films by this director, and they were all of the same genre.
The difference is that this director is still very young and can be considered one of the more famous among the few young directors.
The main themes of several of his movies are very good, using comedy to interpret various aspects of life. There is joy, sadness, and warmth in the movies...
I continued to watch several other masterpieces by this director, until drowsiness hit me, and I fell asleep without realizing it.
After waking up from this sleep, I checked the flight progress and saw that we would arrive in less than three hours.
I glanced at Xiaoman next to me. She was still sleeping. After I went to the restroom and came back, I asked the stewardess for another airline meal.
It is now half past twelve o'clock in the evening domestic time. I don't know if Chen Dajiang's side is going smoothly, and I can't ask him on the plane.
But what I'm more worried about is An Lan's current situation. I just want to see her as soon as possible.
After a while, Xiaoman finally woke up. She asked me in a daze: "Dad, aren't we here yet?"
"Come on, are you hungry? Dad will ask the stewardess to bring you some food."
Xiaoman shook his head: "Dad, I'm not hungry. When you were sleeping just now, the sister in front of you gave me bread to eat."
I stuck my head out and glanced ahead. It was a woman with an Asian face, probably in her twenties.
She saw me looking at her, so she smiled at me.
I also smiled and greeted: "My daughter said you gave her bread, thank you."
"You're welcome." She must be a compatriot and she also speaks Chinese.
I didn't have any more communication with her. After waiting for a while, the plane's announcement finally rang and it was about to arrive at London Heathrow International Airport.
The nearly twenty-hour trip is finally here, and my back is aching from sitting there.
It wasn't until the plane landed smoothly that I took Xiaoman and walked off the plane with the crowd.
It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening London time. After leaving the airport, I called Anthony and told him that we had arrived.
Xiaoman and I were waiting at the exit. Until now, I haven't thought about how to tell Xiaoman about her grandmother's death. Seeing this little guy looking so happy, I really can't bear it.
While waiting for Anthony to pick us up, I foolishly thought of calling Chen Dajiang to ask him about the auction situation.
But suddenly I remembered that it was already past two o'clock in the morning in China, so I thought I might as well ask him tomorrow.
Continuing to wait, Xiaoman suddenly called me: "Dad, it's the sister who gave me the bread."
I looked in the direction of Xiaoman's finger, not far from us, and sure enough, the girl who was in front of us on the plane was standing there.
She was talking to a taxi driver, but she seemed unfamiliar with London, and she didn't look like an international student.
In fact, I found that she didn't seem to speak much English, and she just used the translation software on her mobile phone to talk to the driver.
The driver listened for a long time and didn't know what she was talking about, and since we couldn't park for a long time here, he drove away.
The girl was a little discouraged and continued to wait.
"Dad, is that sister in trouble?"
"Let's go take a look."
I walked towards the girl with Xiaoman and said hello to her: "Hello."
She turned to look at us and recognized me immediately. She had just met me on the plane.
"Where are you going?" I asked her again.
Probably because she saw that I was taking the baby with me, she was not so wary of me, but she still hesitated and said to me: "This place."
She took out her phone and opened a picture to show me.
I'm not very familiar with London, so I don't know exactly where she is going.
She asked me: "Brother, do you know how to get here?"
"Uh..." I said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I'm not very familiar with you, but I just saw you talking to the taxi driver. Don't you speak English?"
She shook her head and said: "I only know some simple words, but I can't communicate well."
"In that case, my brother will come to pick us up soon. If you believe us, I will ask my brother to tell you where this is. She is a local here."
The girl still looked at me with some vigilance. At this time, the smart Xiaoman said: "Sister, we are not bad people. We are here to find my mother. My mother works here."
The girl then smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much, brother."
I chatted with her again: "Where are you from?"
"Hubei, where are you, brother?"
"Chongqing, but why did you come to London alone? You don't understand the language yet. Are you here to work or to study here?"
She smiled lightly and said, "My boyfriend goes to school here and I haven't seen him for a long time. Today is his birthday. I came here specially to surprise him."
I was immediately moved when I heard it. It spanned thousands of kilometers!
And she's just not familiar with this place, she doesn't even understand the language.
To be honest, if it were me, I might not be able to do it. At least I would have to ask someone who understands the language to come with me.
We continued chatting, and soon Anthony drove up.
Xiao Man happily called "Uncle" after seeing Anthony. Anthony liked Xiao Man very much. After not seeing him for so long, he rushed over and picked up Xiao Man from the ground, and then waved me to get in the car.
I called to him and said to him: "Wait a minute, this girl wants to ask you for an address."
With that said, I asked the girl named Su Qing to show Anthony the address she just showed me.
After looking at it, Anthony said: "I know this place. I used to go to school there and I pass by it every day."
"Really? That's great. Can you tell me how to get there by car?"
"You can get there by subway, but you need to change stations, and London is not particularly safe at night."
Anthony was silent for a while and said to Su Qing: "Okay, I'll take you there."
"I won't trouble you, will I?"
Anthony glanced at me and said, "Brother, will it be troublesome?"
