Chapter 1223 Landing Home
Han Li looked at the scattered lights in the distance. Those places were slums, and the people living there tried their best to get three meals a day.
Han Li's eyes moved from a distance to a nearby place, which was the brightly lit and prosperous West End of London.
Many people who live here are thinking about how to play every day? How to play? What to play?
Regardless of the darkness in the distance or the light nearby, these are the real conditions in one of the most prosperous and prosperous cities in the world.
Han Li exhaled a puff of smoke and thought to himself, the next time he comes here, he doesn't know what this city with the huge gap between rich and poor will look like.
Han Li didn't care about other things, probably because he'd been doing nothing for several days in a row. What he was concerned about now was whether the city's atmosphere would be the same as it is now, and he could just go to a bar.
Early the next morning, after Han Li finished his boxing fight, practiced the Spring Breeze Transformation Rain Technique, and washed himself, he put on the suit he came with.
Next, I tied three large travel bags to two large "rolling suitcases", and I couldn't wait to check out and rush to the embassy.
After buying a few hamburgers on the way to satisfy his hunger, Han Li discovered that he had arrived too early when he arrived at the embassy. None of the people who were scheduled to return home today came.
Han Li was arranged by the staff to rest in a room, and then people came one after another. It was about nine o'clock that the twelve people who had returned home this time were finally gathered.
Next, we all came to the airport together. On the way, we got to know each other who we had not met before, and exchanged each other's mailing addresses.
Because on November 16 last year, Sijiucheng opened a route to Renton. Therefore, the airport where Han Li and others boarded their flight back home this time was not the Heathrow Airport where they came from, but another Gatwick Airport.
The plane this time was a Boeing 747-SP, and its flight route was Renton, Frankfurt, Karachi, and Sijiu City.
At first, Han Li thought he was going to pass through Lao Maozi's airspace. At that time, he was a little nervous. After all, the two countries were not dealing with each other now, and the conflicts on many issues were relatively large. Didn't they happen the year before last?
But now that I heard it was this route, I felt calmer. The group of them waited in the airport terminal for more than two hours before starting the security check.
During the next security check, other people’s luggage contained more or less some English specialties or small electrical appliances.
When everyone saw that Han Li's suitcase was mostly filled with sanitary napkins, both the airport staff and his fellow passengers all had strange looks on their faces.
The difference was that the women looked at Han Li with gentle eyes, while most of the men looked at him with a hint of contempt.
Han Li had guessed that this was going to be the case yesterday, and had already made preparations in his heart. He ignored the looks of these people with a magnanimous look.
(In this current era, the situation on this route is a bit complicated. There are some things that can be known, but they are difficult to write down. I will briefly mention them here.)
Because Anglia Airlines is now state-owned, it is now facing the same situation as other state-owned factories and companies, that is, the impact of privatization policies.
Many well-informed people have heard the news, and stewardesses often have contact with powerful people and wealthy businessmen. They have also heard some news and are full of worries about their future jobs.
In this situation of unstable military morale, most of their work attitudes are very perfunctory. Sometimes they will ignore you when you call them, which also makes Han Li and other passengers feel bad.
(Foreigners are not stupid. They know that the aviation field is very important, so British Airways did not begin privatization until 1987.)
People like Han Li had already had the experience of flying when they arrived, so they sat in their seats either reading or sleeping.
Fortunately, the flight time this time was relatively short. The entire journey from London to Forty-Nine City only took about 18 hours and 30 minutes. This made Han Li and other passengers suffer a lot less.
When Han Li stepped off the plane and set foot on the land of Forty-Nine City again, he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart.
However, during the journey from getting off the plane to the terminal, everyone walked out in an orderly queue as when they came in, and there was no chance to experience much with Han Li.
The staff of the Education Department and the Embassy were already waiting in the terminal. After a brief meeting to welcome people back to the country and provide various encouragements, everyone was free to move around for the time being.
It is said to be a free activity, but in fact, everyone is asked to wait for their luggage. For those who have family members coming to pick up the plane, let them quickly describe it.
Han Li didn't want his family to have to go to the countryside to pick him up at the airport when transportation was very inconvenient, so when he called, he just said that he would be back soon, but didn't say what day he would be back at all, so no one came to pick him up.
Those who had family members to pick them up went to the side to talk, but the majority were those who had no one to pick them up at the airport.
They were talking and laughing in the terminal, talking about the situation abroad and their ambitions after returning to China.
Even though some people had already said some words on the plane, now in front of the comrades in the embassy and education department, they seemed to say it again as if their superiors were expressing their determination.
In this situation, Han Li can usually keep his mouth shut. When he can't make excuses without speaking, he will try his best to laugh and use everyone's talking points to cope with it.
After everyone got their luggage, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. In just twenty minutes, he felt more tired than a trip to the Sugolan Highlands.
Everyone got on a small bus without road signs arranged by the education department. On the bus, the comrade from the education department took out a notebook and asked Han Li and his friends where to get off.
However, not everyone's home or work is in Sijiucheng. The comrades from the education department arranged for these people to rest in the hotel for one night, and then they would arrange their vehicles or tickets to go home as soon as possible.
Han Li got off the bus this time at the N bus stop on Xi'anmen Street. After getting off the bus, Han Li waved goodbye to everyone on the bus, and then walked home with his luggage after watching the small bus disappear from sight.
Han Li did not go to Mianhua Hutong, because he knew that since He Mi gave birth to Liang'er, his father and mother would live in the courtyard house next to Houhaizi unless it was Sunday or a holiday.
Speaking of Liang'er, the little guy, his household registration was registered under the name of Han's father and mother, and his relationship with the head of the household was grandparents and grandchildren.
This situation seems a bit unreasonable, but it is very normal at present.
Especially after the implementation of family planning, many families wanted a son, or one more child, which made this situation more common. This situation continued until the millennium, and some people still registered in this way.
Han Li walked alone on the familiar streets, looking at these dilapidated houses, which felt more intimate than the high-rise buildings in London.
Looking at the bumpy road surface, it felt more comfortable than the English highway.
When Han Li saw the familiar lake, he became very excited, his steps became faster and faster, and the wheels of the rolling suitcase in his hand were almost sparking.
When Han Li walked to the courtyard of his family next to the back lake, he saw his mother holding the cart used by Da and Xiao Ming, sitting by the lake and teasing a chubby child.
