Chapter 1046 A Little Shock in Nanyang (First update, please subscribe)
On December 1, the C717 aircraft taking off from Hong Kong Island flew over Chang'an. Because of the good weather, the entire Chang'an City was directly visible to people. in sight.
Although it was his first time to fly and he felt a little scared, Ni Cong still straightened up and looked out of the porthole.
But after just one glance, like many people, he opened his eyes wide in shock and couldn't believe what he saw - what appeared in front of him was a magical, even somewhat magical person. Bizarre city.
On one side is the blue sea, on the other side is the land. On the land, by the bay, skyscrapers have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Those skyscrapers seem to be inlaid with gems, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight. light. That kind of light is not a monotonous golden color, but reflects colorful colors as the angle changes, shrouding the entire city in a special magical color like magic.
"Oh my god, this, this is Chang'an!"
Even as a Shanghainese, he has seen the world, but Ni Cong was still stunned by the city before him.
So much so that I couldn't speak for a long time. Even when I passed the customs, I was still in some kind of shock.
Compared with other people in the refugee camp, Ni Cong is undoubtedly lucky. He has the opportunity to come to Nanyang. This is because his younger brother Ni Yiping is studying aviation at Yong'an University, and because he has relatives in Nanyang, and his relatives He was willing to provide guarantee for him and let him come to Nanyang.
Although he did not have a passport, Ni Cong still passed the customs smoothly with the family visit permit issued by the consulate.
In the past few years, Nanyang has been tightening its immigration policy. It’s not that Nanyang doesn’t need people, but it’s that we are afraid of losing the Chinese population in Southeast Asia, especially in Malay, Surabaya, Mindanao and other areas where Chinese are the main population. After all, it’s not enough for South Asia to just have Nanyang. Appropriate immigration tightening is necessary, which directly results in the fact that many immigrants from Hong Kong Island and other places are now unable to enter Nanyang.
Only those with a family visit certificate can enter Nanyang. According to the normal process, they can stay in Nanyang for one year. If they are admitted to university during this period, they can obtain a study permit, and then they can be naturalized after obtaining a work visa.
The reason why these thresholds are established is to ensure that the Chinese population in Southeast Asia can maintain a certain level in various countries and regions, thereby ensuring the influence of the Chinese.
The man here had just walked out of the customs. Over there, he saw his third brother Ni Yiping among the people picking him up at the airport. He was holding a pick-up sign in his hand. When he saw each other from a distance, he became excited. shouted.
“Yiping!”
"Second brother!"
Although they had not seen each other for ten years, they still recognized each other when they met.
The two people who had not seen each other for many years hugged each other excitedly, and then Ni Cong looked behind his brother again, as if he was looking for something?
"My parents didn't come?"
Originally, he thought his parents would come to Nanyang from Hong Kong Island to pick him up. After all, he had already spoken to them on the phone when he was in Lantau Island. It was through his parents' contact that his younger brother learned about him and issued the corresponding procedures. Only then did he have the opportunity to come to Nanyang.
"The air tickets are quite expensive. What Dad means is that you stay in Nanyang first and prepare your homework. After you are admitted to university, you can apply for a student visa. After the procedures are completed, you can then fly to Hong Kong Island to reunite with your family. "It's not too late at this time."
Ni Yiping explained, taking the luggage bag from his second brother's hand and asked.
"How about it, it went smoothly on this journey."
"It went smoothly. Once the money was spent, those people naturally arranged everything."
The two brothers The people were chatting and walking outside. Soon, they arrived outside the airport. As soon as they left the airport, Ni Cong was stunned by the street in front of him - there were cars on the road, and there were many cars on the road, even if they were Even in the busy streets of Shanghai, you can't see so many cars.
"Yiping, why are there so many cars here!"
Looking at the surprised look of his second brother, Ni Yiping looked around with some confusion and said.
"Is it much? This is the airport, a little deserted, and the city is more lively."
What?
Isn’t this called too much?
The traffic passing by made him a little suspicious.
Soon, the two brothers got on a bus. As the bus was driving, Chang'an appeared in front of Ni Cong's eyes - those skyscrapers, wide streets, busy transportation hubs, As well as the pedestrians and vehicles passing through it, it was like a magical world slowly unfolding before his eyes.
At this moment, Ni Cong was completely attracted by this city. When this prosperity came into his eyes, he was speechless for a long time as he looked at the weaving cars on the street and the pedestrians on the roadside.
"Second brother, how do you feel here?"
"It's different from what I imagined..."
Looking at the city outside the car window, Ni Cong said.
“In the past, I heard about this place from newspapers, saying that Nanyang is a country ruled by big capital and plutocrats. The people here are living in dire straits. None of them have their own houses. Living in leaky houses provided by capitalists, they were exploited by capitalists. They worked hard all day to make cows and milk in capitalist factories, but they had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm. Even their children had to sell newspapers. , You have to sell milk to support yourself, otherwise you will have to starve..."
"Fart!"
Suddenly someone interrupted him and said.
"How can you tell lies with your eyes open? Who do you think here has not enough to eat? Who lives in a small western-style building, or no matter how bad it is, it is an apartment. Whose children cannot afford to feed themselves? Delivering newspapers and milk is a way for children to train themselves and earn pocket money. When they get to school, not only do they not need to pay for school, they also don’t need to pay for food.”
"That's not true. What is the school meal like? A bottle of milk, a fish, an egg, a vegetable, and a bowl of rice. Are they full? I'm even worried that they'll be full!"
For a while, everyone started talking to each other one by one. Ni Cong blushed for a while. He didn’t even know how to explain. Fortunately, everyone didn’t have the same experience as him and seemed to be surprised. Weird.
After a while, the car stopped, and Ni Yiping did not ask any more questions. Instead, Ni Cong himself just looked out the window, looking at this prosperous and wealthy place.
The prosperity in front of him made him suffer an unprecedented impact. Many concepts that he had formed long ago were so impacted at this time that only he could feel it.
After a long time, Ni Cong asked with some confusion.
"Is it true?"
"What?"
Ni Yiping looked at his second brother in confusion and asked.
“I mean what they said.”
Ni Cong said:
"Is it true that every household here lives in a small western-style building? Every household has a car. And are the children in the school really fed that well?"
When posing these questions, Ni Cong's eyes Looking at his brother, he seemed to want to hear him tell his people - all this is fake, false, and untrue, but these people are just teasing him, a country boy.
Yes, he has become a country boy. When he was in Shanghai in the past, people's favorite words were "you country boy".
But what about now?
Being in this city, he felt that Shanghai and Hainan were like the countryside. He was Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.
"Not every household has it,"
Looking at his second brother's somewhat uneasy look, Ni Yiping said, fearing to irritate him. "Only two or three out of ten households have cars."
Only...
Open your eyes!
Ni Cong was dumbfounded. What does it mean? Can you explain it to me?
Looking at his third brother, Ni Cong wanted to shout out the question, but when the words came to his lips, they turned out to be.
“Do they really live in a western-style building?”
“Yes.”
“Students can drink milk and eat eggs for free?”
Ni Yiping explained.
“Yes, there are also fish and vegetables. The next day is beef, and the next day is pork. Five days a week, there are three meals of fish, and one meal each of beef and pork.”
This is a supplement. Knife?
Of course not, Ni Yiping was just telling his second brother a fact.
Almost half an hour later, in a restaurant, looking at the people dining in the restaurant and the smiles on people’s faces, Ni Cong, who had worked as a policeman and had come into contact with many criminals on the farm, , naturally you can recognize what kind of smile that is.
It is a smile of happiness, peace and contentment.
There is no eagerness or passion in their eyes, only a peaceful and casual brilliance.
At this time, he turned his attention to his younger brother. At this time, he found that his younger brother's eyes were the same as theirs. There was no desire in his eyes, no passion for struggle, only a kind of peace and casualness.
Why is this so?
Just when Ni Cong was puzzled, his brother over there gave him a dinner plate and said.
"Brother, take a look at what you like to eat and put it in it."
"What?"
Looking at the Western food on the plate, Ni Cong said with confusion on his face.
“What do you mean?”
“This is a buffet. We haven’t seen each other for more than ten years. I don’t know what you like to eat, so I made my own decision and came here. Second brother, Take a look at what you like to eat, there’s everything here, just take what you want.”
The buffet tables are like hills, arranged in an orderly manner, filled with all kinds of delicacies. The red steak is placed on the ice like a work of art, and its silky texture seems to indicate its freshness and fatness. The seafood area is even more dazzling, with prawns, crabs, oysters... They lie quietly on the ice, as if they had just been caught from the sea, with the freshness and sweetness of the ocean.
Walking in this ocean of delicious food, Ni Cong felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He didn't even know how to describe his mood at this time.
“You can eat all these things?”
“Yes.”
“Can you eat whatever you want?”
"Yes!"
"Steak too?"
"Yes."
"Seafood too?"
"Of course!"
"No limit?"
"As long as you can eat it!"
Taking a deep breath, Ni Cong looked at the food in front of him seriously, looked at a snack, and then stretched out his hand , gently picked up a piece of delicate snack and put it into his mouth. The sweet taste instantly spreads in the mouth, and it seems that all the beauty of life is in this snack and the sweetness it brings.
Is this Nanyang?
For a moment, feeling the delicious taste in his mouth and looking at the mountain-like food in front of him, Ni Cong knew that he was finally in the right place!
Just then, he noticed a voice not far away.
“At 8:12 this morning, your C707 special plane took off from Chang’an Airport. The destination of your visit this time is Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Unlike previous visits, your trip to Stockholm this time is to accept the promise. The Nobel Prize in Physics awarded by the Bell Prize Committee..."
The Nobel Prize!
Ni Cong was stunned for a moment. He followed the sound and soon saw a box that looked like a small movie, playing a movie, and the movie was in color.
"This is..."
Ni Yiping, who was following him, quickly explained.
"It's a TV set."
"A TV set? Is it this box?"
Bewildered, Ni Cong asked again.
"That's not what I'm talking about. Who is this Excellency? When did he get the Nobel Prize?"
The picture played on the TV at this time was exactly the picture of people seeing off Li Yian at the airport. In the picture, Li Yian was seeing off the people one by one.
Looking at the picture on the TV, and then at his second brother, Ni Yiping joked:
“Well—he is your Excellency, the big capitalist and big landowner you talk about. , a great feudal lord, by the way, he is also a great scientist, a great scientist who won the Nobel Prize!”
What!
For a moment, Ni Cong was dumbfounded...
