Today's flight delays have become a hot topic in the media, but in fact, flight delays or temporary changes have always happened in the past.
It’s just that there were fewer people flying and fewer flights in the past, so it generally didn’t attract outside attention.
Another point is that in the early 1980s, it was particularly troublesome to send and collect luggage by plane.
At that time, everything was done manually. When sending luggage, the waiter wrote the luggage tag by hand, handed one to the passenger, and tied the other to the luggage.
When picking up luggage, it will not be transferred through the transport belt.
Passengers have to wait next to the plane until their luggage is unloaded on site, and the luggage tags are checked by staff before they can be taken away one by one.
In addition, passengers' luggage at that time also came in all kinds of styles, such as suitcases, canvas boxes, wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, parcels, etc., and there were many identical boxes.
This often causes luggage tags to fall off, luggage to fall apart, or luggage to be packed incorrectly.
Even under normal circumstances, passengers will be delayed for nearly an hour in picking up their luggage, and if they are unlucky, it will be even longer.
Therefore, if you are really experienced, you should pick up the plane at least half an hour later than the expected arrival time.
But it is a pity that Hong Yanwu never thought of these things.
What's even more disgusting is that he and Yang Weifan actually acted like thieves and deliberately announced the pick-up time half an hour in advance.
In addition, Yang Weifan was very awkward, so he was afraid that he would be late, so he took the initiative to arrive half an hour early.
As a result, I had to go to my grandma's house this time.
In fact, Yang Weifan waited for more than two hours, and it was almost two o'clock in the morning before they actually met.
Thinking about it, for fear of missing out, Yang Weifan didn't even dare to eat the late-night snack. Not only was his stomach growling with hunger, but he was also sleepy and tired. He only relied on smoking to survive. How could his complexion be better?
His yawning and languid look was compared to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's well-fed and drunk states.
Well, it looks like he is a traveler after a long journey.
So when they met and smelled the Maotai smell on Hong Yanwu, Yang Weifan felt even more uncomfortable that he had gone on this trip, and his attitude must have been cold and cold.
But things have to be said in two ways. There are things about Hong Yanwu that make people hate him, but there are also things about him that make people love him.
No, before Yang Weifan could complain, this kid started to blame himself with fear.
Not only did he say he was confused, but he also scolded the Republic Airlines system from top to bottom.
Then he complimented Yang Weifan passionately and passionately.
We will never forget Yang Liulang, who is like Zhuan Zhu, Sai Mengchang, and extremely righteous. He is such a good friend, so interesting, and a great kindness and virtue.
It's like singing, so full of praise.
Finally, he presented a whole bag of gifts that he had prepared separately with both hands.
Cigarettes, tapes, perfumes, foreign wines, calculators, electronic watches, all kinds of local specialties, almost everything is available.
In particular, I brought him an "IMCO" lighter.
The iconic cartridge shape and the windproof and dustproof performance are far more representative of military personnel than the "Zippo". Otherwise, how could it be known as the "AK47 among lighters"?
Yang Weifan couldn't put it down right away.
Faced with these well-informed and expressive expressions, how could he have the nerve to argue with Hong Yanwu?
In this way, Yang Weifan could only gently expose the matter after being rubbed so hard that he couldn't get angry at all.
There was just one thing that he didn't expect. One oversight would end up being tricked by Hong Yanwu again.
I bet there were two boxes of nude poker cards and two pornographic magazines in this bag, but Hong Yanwu didn't say anything about it.
As a result, after Yang Weifan saw off Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, he went home and went to bed. He slept for less than three hours when he was woken up by Zhou Manna who got up early in the morning and looked through these things.
People back then were particularly vigilant about their thoughts, and they were somewhat mentally mysophobic.
Therefore, in Zhou Manna's opinion, these obscene poker and pictorials are tantamount to Yang Weifan's desire to mess with the relationship between men and women, which represents the risk of endangering the marriage.
She cried and fussed over this. No matter how Yang Weifan explained it, she didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it.
In this way, Yang Weifan coaxed his wife for a whole day before he could pass the test.
Because I didn't sleep well, I had a headache all day long.
What's even more annoying is that although he later called Hong Yanwu and scolded him, on the phone, Hong Yanwu didn't care at all and instead laughed at him for being unable to control his wife.
To say that he is really not like a gentleman, to do something like this that is obviously beneficial to the couple's life, is outrageous.
This naturally made him even more angry. He felt deeply regretful that he had mistakenly made a bad friend.
So out of anger, I came up with the idea that I would not want to talk to Hong Yanwu again before the Chinese New Year.
He made up his mind to reject any reasonable or unreasonable requests this kid made.
It's a pity that this determination was in vain, and I didn't last long.
Because within a few days, Hong Yanwu called his home again and asked him and Zhou Manna to pick out Hong Kong-style clothes and leather shoes.
Zhou Manna answered the call first.
When she heard that there were ski shirts, bat shirts, and jeans, and she could just pick them up, she looked excited and expectant, and she completely regarded Hong Yanwu as a good person.
As for the playing cards and the pictorial, I completely forgot about it.
Then he was overjoyed and gave the phone call to Yang Weifan.
In order not to disappoint his wife, Yang Weifan had no choice but to give up his principles.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly felt very pessimistic. He thought that he might never be able to catch Hong Yanwu's pigtails.
Although he tried to do it every time, he also wanted to succeed once.
But he discovered that his grandson was simply a gecko crawling out of an oil jar.
Not only Yang Weifan, but also the things brought back by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were strongly welcomed in all aspects.
Not only are the family members satisfied, relatives and neighbors happy, but even my colleagues at work are overjoyed.
To be honest, it doesn't cost anything at all.
In addition to Shuiqing, Lan Zhaodi and Xiao Heping, Hong Yanwu brought a digital watch. He also gave the administrative section chief, Master Pang and Master Gou a calculator each.
It was nothing more than giving each of the other colleagues in the cafeteria a box of "Marlboro" and "Good Friends".
But it won collective cheers and support.
It is no exaggeration to say that when the smoke was cleared, the entire canteen exploded.
The shouts of "cool" and "blocked" were so noisy that the roof of the house was lifted off.
Anyone who happened to be passing by might have thought there was a coup in the cafeteria.
In fact, to be honest, the taste of foreign tobacco is not very good. The mixed type is very strong and far less pleasant and sweet than our local flue-cured tobacco.
But just the psychological effect of hearing foreign cigarettes made people feel particularly good at that time, and emotions followed.
Of course, it sounds like a kind of admiration for foreign countries, but this kind of admiration for foreign countries is very simple.
People back then couldn't think so much or see so profoundly.
They only know that international friendship is friendship, and they are just overjoyed at the novelty of trying an exotic place for the first time.
