"Sir, seat A is my seat. Can you let me in?"
As soon as Kang Qirui sat down on the seat next to the aisle, he heard a voice coming from beside him. He looked up and realized that it was the young lady he met at the airport gate just now. She glanced at the innermost seat and signaled Kang Qirui to get up and let her in. Kang Qirui did not stand up, but said with a smile: "Miss, we are traveling as a family. My wife and daughter went to the toilet, so can you and my daughter change seats?"
Kang Siqi's seat was arranged in Block F next to her, across the aisle from Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling. He was worried about his daughter and thought of changing seats with this lady. "Okay." The lady nodded and agreed when she saw Zhu Wanling and Kang Siqi coming out of the toilet.
Shortly after the plane took off, the flight attendants pushed the beverage cart to pour water for the passengers. "Daddy, I want to drink Coke." Kang Siqi heard Tianxiu asked for a Coke and she also wanted to drink it. Kang Qirui touched her head and said helplessly: "Baby, you have found the wrong person. Daddy dare not agree to your promise. You have to find mommy."
Kang Siqi then turned around and pretended to be pitiful. She looked at Zhu Wanling, but Zhu Wanling didn't tolerate her. She asked the stewardess for a glass of orange juice, "Why don't you drink Coke? Let's drink orange juice."
"Humph, daddy, do you love me?" Kang Siqi did not drink the orange juice, but looked at Kang Qirui and asked.
Kang Qirui frowned, "Well, of course Daddy loves you. Why did you suddenly ask Daddy this question?"
"Hmph, you lied. You said you love me , you said you could give me the whole world, but you can't even give me a cup of Coke." Kang Siqi's words about Kang Qirui made everyone laugh, even the one who had a little conflict with the Kang family just now. The ladies covered their mouths and smiled.
Kang Qirui, who was laughed at by everyone, could only hold his forehead in embarrassment. He pointed at Kang Siqi and said angrily, "You little villain, drink your orange juice."
At 7:40 pm local time, after a long flight, the flight of the Kang family landed at Saipan International Airport. Because Saipan is unilaterally exempt from visa requirements for China, everyone passed the customs very quickly and entered the country smoothly. When they came to the luggage carousel, the luggage hadn't even come out yet.
Kang Qirui and the others waited for a long time to get their luggage, and then they boarded the tour guide's bus to the hotel without stopping. While in Guangfu, Kang Qirui found a local tour guide through a travel agency to be responsible for all their itinerary planning. Arriving at the hotel, Erlao and Kang Qirui followed the tour guide to check in.
"Azu, hurry up and catch up and tell your second brother to get a big house so that everyone can be happy living together." After my mother found out, she ordered Azu. And Lao Dou also said: "That's right, it's best to have six bedrooms and two living rooms, that's enough to live in."
"Mother Lao Dou, do you think this is Xiguan? This is a five-star hotel. Your request can only be met by a presidential suite. Do you know how much a presidential suite costs per night?" Azu said.
"How much is it?" Lao Dou asked cooperatively.
Azu picked up the hotel promotion brochure next to him, turned to the last page and pointed it to Mrs. Dou, "Hey, what is written here is 18,888 US dollars a night."
"Wow? Isn't that almost 100,000 Chinese coins?" Lao Dou was shocked and never mentioned living together again.
Soon, Kang Qirui and Er Duo came back with a stack of room cards. "It belongs to Lao Dou's mother, to the big brother and his sister-in-law, to Ayao Xingzi, to Azu Diana, and to Miss Zhu. Miss Zhu, I will trouble you to live with my son Tianxiu." The second brother's room assignment card When she was assigned to Zhu Shinai, she said with a smile on her face.
“Live with Tianpu?” Master Zhu wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhu Wanling keep giving her winks, she had no choice but to agree, “Okay, okay.”
Tian Tuo has grown up this year, and it is not very convenient for her to share a room with her second brother, second sister-in-law, and Siyu, but it is no problem to share a room with Master Zhu.
The first day's trip to Saipan ended in this way. Everyone was very tired after flying for a day. After a simple dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
At 7:30 the next morning, everyone got up early and gathered in the hotel lobby. According to the tour guide's itinerary, they were participating in a local one-day tour today. When Kang Qirui got in the car, he found that the young lady he met yesterday was there. He smiled and nodded as a greeting.
"Good morning, dear guests. Welcome to Tinian Island. This morning I will lead the team to show you the overall scenery and historical war relics of Tinian Island." After departure, the tour guide faced everyone Let me introduce today’s specific itinerary.
"Miss Tour Guide, I would like to ask what are the special features here?" Sachiko asked with a smile on her face. This was her first trip after getting married, and she was very excited.
“The most important feature here is one of the five wonders of the world: the magical blowhole.” The tour guide said.
"I know this. The waves here hitting the shore can create a fountain of tens of meters, right?" Azu asked.
The magical blowhole is known as one of the five wonders of the world and is a must-see attraction when visiting Saipan. There are many strange-shaped caves here. There is a row of the largest caves among them. Whenever the tide hits, in addition to producing an echo and making an astonishing loud noise, the sea water will pass through the cave entrance and spurt water columns several feet high into the air. When the wind and waves are strong, the water jets raised by the tide can reach up to 18 meters, which is quite spectacular.
The tour guide nodded, "Yes. In addition, we also want to show you the historical relics of World War II."
"Wow, sister, are there a lot of aircraft, cannons and Tank?" Tianxiu looked expectant.
The tour guide shook his head, "There are no more aircraft or cannons, but the most famous thing here is the US military's airstrip during World War II. You can visit it in the afternoon." After the US military occupied Saipan during World War II , an airport and runway were built right here on Tinian Island, providing a base for the B-29 long-range bomber to bomb the Japanese mainland. The two atomic bombs dropped by the US military on Japan were loaded on Tinian Island and then took off. Therefore, this runway is still a must-visit location for many tourists to this day. Although it is just an ordinary runway and not a scenery, its special historical significance is still worth visiting and taking photos.
While everyone was listening to the tour guide introducing the history, Master Zhu suddenly stood up and pointed outside and shouted loudly: "There are coconut trees and papaya trees."
"I'm scared to death of you. Ah, what's so surprising about the coconut and guava trees?" The mother was speechless and pulled her back to sit down. However, Master Zhu still looked surprised, "Of course it's surprising. I've only heard that Americans drink milk and eat steak. I've never heard of Americans drinking coconut water. Isn't it surprising that there are coconut trees here?"< br>
“Aunt Zhu, you don’t know this.” Diana, a pure American, smiled, “In recent years, due to the increase in the American and Hispanic population, the consumption of coconut water in the United States has also been rising. The United States should be regarded as the largest coconut water consumption market outside of China."
"That's it." Mrs. Zhu was not embarrassed, changed the topic, waved to the tour guide and said, "Those people outside. "My hands are always like this, what does it mean?" Zhu Shinai's right index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were bent, her thumb and little finger were straightened, and she made a sign of six.
“This gesture means local greeting.” The tour guide explained, “In the local indigenous language, it is called Hafadai.”
Hafadai, Hafadai, Hafadai, everyone started to learn.
“Everyone, remember, do as the Romans do and learn some manners.” Lao Dou said with a smile.
Following the tour guide's arrangement, we visited the basic scenery of Tinian Island in the morning, and in the afternoon we went to see the magical blowholes and the US military airport runway. While on the airport runway, Kang Qirui suggested that the whole family take a family photo of the Kang family on this runway with special significance.
Speaking of which, the Kang family has not taken a family photo since the third generation of the Kang family was born. Therefore, Kang Qirui's proposal was immediately unanimously approved by the whole family. They chose the location where the pilot took off to take pictures. This is the first family photo of the 18 members of the Kang family.
In the evening, we returned to the hotel and arranged a bonfire party. With the performance of the local indigenous people, everyone in the Kang family had a great time. But Zhu Wanling didn't look good. Kang Qirui noticed her strangeness immediately, squatted in front of her and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I'm having my menstrual period and it's a little painful." Zhu Wanling looked helpless.
"Huh? Didn't I remember you these days?" Kang Qirui asked doubtfully. "Maybe I'm not used to the climate, so I moved ahead of time." Zhu Wanling was very depressed. The most unpleasant thing about traveling far away is to encounter this kind of situation. Sudden changes in the living environment cause changes in the body's advanced nervous system, causing the menstrual cycle to advance.
"Let me talk to mom, and then I'll accompany you up first." Kang Qirui said and was about to go find mom. Zhu Wanling quickly grabbed him, shook her head and said, "No, no, it's your period. That’s it, it’s not like she’s sick. Let’s wait until everyone is together again before going up.”
Zhu Wanling’s temper is like this, and Kang Qirui can’t do anything to her. He sat down next to her and said, "Okay, Si Qi and Si Yu are playing over there, and the second brother and second sister-in-law are watching. Let me get you some hot water." Kang Qirui picked up a tinfoil plate and poured I bought half a bottle of mineral water and put it on the grill in front to heat the hot water.
Trivia: Drinking hot water is really useful for relieving menstrual period pain.
After a while, everyone got tired and came back to the barbecue grill to sit and grill something to eat. After eating and preparing to return, a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a manager came over and said hello: "Did everyone have fun?"
"Happy, happy." Everyone in the Kang family said one after another.
"I have even happier news to tell you." The man said, "Last year, the Guangdong Provincial TV Station held a survival challenge on Saipan. According to their format, tomorrow our hotel will Let’s have a cross-country competition with prizes.”
“Wow, is it a Pacific grouper?” Azu laughed.
The man smiled, patted Azu on the shoulder and said: "There are more surprises than groupers. We will upgrade the final winner's room to the president of our Dynasty Hotel for free. Suite. You can also take a small plane trip around the island.”
"Manager, how do you play?" Ayao asked.
“A man and a woman are required to combine freely. After arriving at a certain attraction, they must try their best to find the prompts for the next target attraction. There are four target attractions in total. The first one to reach the fourth target attraction and complete the check-in is the winner. ." The manager introduced tomorrow's competition format.
After everyone heard this, they quickly paired up and signed up with the manager, and each one was full of confidence. "Sir, why don't you sign up? There are already nine groups of contestants participating, and there is only one spot left. Do you really not want to consider it?" After the manager completed the registration procedures for everyone, he saw that Kang Qirui had not signed up. asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, Rui, why don't you sign up? We five brothers can participate together. If there are ten groups of people, the five of us have a 50% chance." asked the boss Guangya.
"Tch, boss, will you do it? What's 50%? It must be 100% ours if our five brothers take action, it's just to see who among us wins." The second brother is very confident. confidence.
Kang Qirui waved his hand and said, "Wanling is not feeling well. Even if I want to participate, I don't have a companion." After hearing what he said, everyone was concerned about what made Zhu Wanling uncomfortable. Zhu Wanling had no choice but to awkwardly tell everyone that she was on her period. Everyone felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and pretended to be busy. (End of this chapter)
