Vol 2 Chapter 142: Sightseeing tour

Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to take a Pan American airliner ’s seatbelt, we ...
The big screen in front and the small screen in front of it are playing the precautions over and over again, but Angela ’s Attention is not on it at all. Dear Book Friend: Like the novel, please go to the show to read
The girl wore a white wide-brimmed hat and hid her head in. Although she was wearing sunglasses from time to time, her eyes blinked and stared out of the airport through the small window.
What are you looking at? Asked Natalie, who was sitting beside her, noticing her expression.
"Mother must still be looking at me in there." The girl replied softly without turning back.
There was a hint of surprise in Natalie's eyes, and she asked jokingly again: How old are you, and want to tell me, is this the first time you have traveled far away without your parents? "
I'm definitely not going to go to Europe ... this way ... "Angela frowned and seemed to want a better word, but finally shook her head and spread her hands.
"Let ’s do this, let me guess." Natalie looked at the girl with one hand on her cheek, and the other hand was beaten rhythmically on the arm of the chair, and she finally waved gently, "I think You may be a little nervous, because no matter how much you know about China through books, it is always a completely strange country-from the inside out, it is not the same as Europe! "
At this point, she suddenly laughed: "Do you think of your mother's arms when you face the unknown and instinctively fear?"
"Is there anything wrong? I'm not trying to hide in my mother's arms." Angela gave her a white look and shrugged. "Maybe just as you said, I'm just a little nervous."
Yeah, just a little nervous. The girl sighed softly in her heart, maybe it could also be called timidity in the hometown, although she has always been eager to go to China to see it, although she reasonably hid this desire in her heart, it never went out, When she really was about to embark on the journey, she began to feel lost again. Perhaps besides nervousness, there was ... confused and helpless?
Angela once again turned her eyes to the airport outside the aircraft window. Of course, she knew that even if her mother looked inside, she wouldn't see it, but she couldn't help looking for it.
After agreeing to my own travel requirements. Mother never objected again. When Donna Natalie agreed to Angela's invitation. When the girl began to pack things cheerfully. Mom is always there. When she thinks of it, she thinks that something is blocked in her chest. Not to mention those days.
Even if I found my original family. There may even be the original self. But what's the point of that? Angela asked herself in her heart. Do your own business. Love yourself. Everything is here by myself. She knew there were certain things she had to do. That is also worth doing. But ... is it worth it?
The plane slowly left the airport. Get on the runway. With increasing speed. With a loud roar, he finally looked up. Fly into the blue sky. Luoshanji is getting smaller and smaller. It was invisible until the plane entered the stratosphere.
Angela finally looked back. No matter what, I have a Chinese soul. Should go to China. As for the next thing ... let's talk about it.
At this point the plane was flying smoothly. First-class passengers have started their own entertainment activities to listen to songs and places. Ke>: See Natalie flatten her chair. Asked the stewardess for a blanket. And take out the blindfold to put yourself on to sleep.
"Yeah, it's because of just two that I have to hurry to sleep for a while." Natalie lay down.
"Let's go to sleep later, but we are catching up now. I want to soberly fly across the date line." Angela pushed her, "Aren't you going to stay with me?"
Natalie, who had pulled down the blindfold, had to push it up again, and then looked over at her with her head in her head: "Angie, why do you think your father arranged this flight for us?"
"Why?" The girl blinked, she didn't really think about it.
"I see, Dad wants us to get to our destination as soon as possible," Angela said suddenly suddenly, "we took off and then arrived, wow, it took only 3 hours to cross the Pacific!"
Natalie rolled her eyes, looking too lazy to tell you, pulled up her blindfold and turned to sleep. Angela can't help scratching her head in depression, but it's just a joke, why ... she suddenly awakened with a bang on her head, jet lag!
The journey of joking and joking for hours is a real existence. After getting on the plane in the bright sun, after 12 hours of hard work, getting off the plane lethargic, but too] It ’s not a general discomfort. The time difference of 8 hours from New York to London is already tiring, let alone 12 hours!
Of course, it is not that you can reverse the jet lag when you sleep on the plane, let alone when your biological clock is not yet sleeping, even if you do not sleep for a long time, but this can at least adjust the sleep situation in a small range It will be much faster to adjust it in Shanghai. Otherwise, it will take a few days to get the jet lag. What else can you do?
My father was troubled. Thinking about this, Angela slightly tilted her lips, but then again for a while.
Forget it, don't even think about it. The girl shook her head slightly. After asking the stewardess for a blanket, she lowered her chair and put on a blindfold, and began to take a nap.
The Pan American airliner landed on time at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. The west-sloping sun still scattered on the cloudless blue sky. The golden light reflected in the Angela show was beautiful, the girl looked back In the crowded waiting hall, although there was a look of tiredness, there was everything in my heart.
"This is the first time I have seen so many Chinese.
"Natalie with the same tired face said with emotion.
"Me too." The girl replied softly, followed by a sentence in her belly, the first time in this life.
"Miss, let's get out of here first." Pu Guanshui had already stopped two taxis at this time. He and Buckett were both well-trained people.
The taxi took them straight to the Jinjiang Hotel on Maoming Road. This is the best hotel in Shanghai.
Hosted many countries and witnessed the birth of the Joint Communiqué
After spending one night and half a day in jet lag in the president's private room at Jinjiang Hotel, the two girls finally started sightseeing in Shanghai, but the Shanghai area in 1996 was not much better, although it is the economic center of China, and It is as prosperous as the big cities in Europe and America, but for Natalie who lives in New York, it is still not enough.
And Angela can find the more beautiful and prosperous Shanghai in her memory. Naturally, she has just opened Shanghai Pudong, and even Suzhou River is still dark. Naturally, she focused her attention on several Chinese-style attractions such as the City God Temple, Chenxiang Pavilion, and Yuyuan Garden.
"How much do you say? This will take 6 sessions!" At the open-air market outside the City God Temple, Angela asked the stall owner with a small big red Chinese knot, a dry and thin old man with a smile on his face. .
"No Tenon Gang, Xiao Jia, nothing is the same. It ’s nothing from the Alazu ancestors. There is no amount to pass. Get lucky and avoid evil, the old spiritual check!" The old man said with a smile, but unfortunately he gave Shanghai an Anji Lalenmont took a guess to find out.
"Forget it, I'm not a big head." The girl shrugged and let go of the Chinese knot.
"Nanong gives a price." The old man was so desperate that he stopped Angela. Although he couldn't speak a few Mandarins, he still had no problem listening. The girl's fluent Mandarin and that sentence He knew that the ghost girl was not a person who could be blinded.
"Generally speaking, the price of Chinese knots is around 20 yuan, but this one is a double butterfly knot and is inlaid with green emerald. Unfortunately, it is too small." Angela cut it in half directly.
"Xiao Jia, this isn't okay ..." The old man was still crying, but the girl was about to turn around and left, and couldn't discuss it at all, so she agreed: "Okay, at this price, oops, no profit at all . "
It seemed that the old man was compelled to sell it at the lowest price, but he had already blossomed in his heart. The price of this little Chinese knot was at most 1 already high!
The reason for this is that Angela has never bargained for one reason, and another reason is ... the price she refers to is later, and the RMB at this time is more valuable than that time!
However, even if the girl knew it, she would not care because--
"How's it? It's good for you!" Angela smiled and handed Natalie's Chinese knot to her. "Don't tell me you just watched it because you hated it."
"Okay, thank you." Natalie was also polite. "Unfortunately, I don't know what to sell to you. It would be better if I also understand Chinese."
"It's okay. If you are interested, you can learn slowly. You will have a chance later." The girl said and pointed to the Chinese knot in her hand. "This, called the Chinese knot, has a long history, and it has many meanings in it. . "
"Really? You talk about it." When it comes to this aspect, Natalie is always very active.
"Don't worry, let's find a place to have lunch first, and then tell you slowly." Angela said, greeting the bodyguards dressed up with the two tourists behind him went to Chenxiang Pavilion for vegetarian dishes.
No way, as a strict vegetarianism, Natalie has strict requirements on the oil used in food. Although she has tasted the deliciousness of Chinese food in the Chinese restaurant of Jinjiang Hotel, she still strictly abides by her own rules, such as Faced with the famous Shanghai fried dumplings, because the soup contained lard, she didn't even eat it. Of course, Angela is very happy and happy-she was looking forward to this day-so this time I went to Shenxiang Pavilion to try the well-known vegetarian dishes here.
Even so, Natalie was still puzzled by the dishes on the table.
"Ah, they're just tofu, they're made like this." The girl took up her knife and fork with annoyance, and opened the chicken on the plate for her. "Did you see? Can you see clearly?"
"But ... they smell ..." Natalie hesitated.
"That's what other people do. They can use chicken tofu to make chicken and duck." Angela pointed to the occasional past monk outside the restaurant. "Buddhism doesn't allow killing, so they had to come up with this method instead. "
Although the two girls are Christians—well, pseudo-Christians and one is a Jew, this does not prevent them from entering and leaving the temple. It can be viewed as a tourist, but it is like the second largest Catholic church in East Asia on Sheshan. No one can go in. Even if Angela doesn't take her Christian status seriously, she still needs to take care of her grandfather's or grandpa's mood. Who says they won't know?
Well, this topic is a long way off. Back to Shenxiang Pavilion, the little storm finally explained to Natalie that the girl invited the chef to the face, and it was only to calm her doubts.
Later, while visiting Yuyuan Garden in the afternoon, Angela began to explain the Chinese knot for Natalie. In fact, she didn't know much about the Chinese knot. She knew a little about it, but it was more than enough for Mongolians.
"So what are the most common types of Chinese knots?" Natalie asked after hearing the classification of Chinese knots.
"I don't know everything, only knowing that Fang Shengjie means a safe journey; Ruyi knot means good luck ..." Angela said with her finger, but when Natalie asked her, what was she giving her At the end of the knot, the girl said that she didn't know, because she meant double wings !
"So is it for parents?" Natalie asked again.
Angela froze, and quickly replied: "Of course, reunion, that means reunion is beautiful and long, that it means longevity!"
"Okay, we'll buy another one later, and you'll need to refer to me, you know, I don't understand." Natalie looked at the girl, then smiled: "Well, if you want , How about buying a reunion knot for you. "
"Speak later." Although Angela's expression did not change, her heart made waves again. She had a good time in the past two days. Without her parents, she could safely walk around the street undisguised. Therefore, it is logical to leave certain things behind, but these things can never be thrown away.
Reunion? The girl meditated for a moment in her heart, then go, even if you glance at it.
Angela suddenly looked up to look at Natalie: Shall we go to Hangzhou tomorrow? "(To be continued,) 2k novel reading network
