Chapter 1450 The country bumpkin wants to go out for a walk!
It was the end of the year and the university was on vacation. Xiao Yueyue brought back Professor Huang's latest assignment: to ask Sun Jianping to write a paper on the changes in annual precipitation and surface runoff in Northeast China. Sun Jianping was so worried that he had stars in his eyes!

"This year our school has built several new buildings and added a lot of experimental equipment. We will move to the new teaching building for classes after the New Year!"

Half a year of college life has brought about earth-shaking changes in Yueyue's appearance and temperament. Not only has she learned how to dress herself, she has also put on light makeup, looking youthful and beautiful. She sat on the kang in Sun Jianping's house and chattered about the new changes in the school.

"Is Professor Huang okay?"

Sun Jianping took the document, flipped through two pages, put it aside, and asked Yueyue.

"Teacher Huang is fine, but he's old and the school won't let him sit in class... He even said he wanted to come back and take a look at us!"

"Hey, the old man is almost 90 years old this year, don't bother with it!" Sun Jianping shook his head, opened the box, and took out a camera. "Here's yours. Take it and take pictures of the mountains and rivers here, and bring them back to show the old man!"

"Are you really giving it to me?" Yueyue was so excited that her big eyes were full of little stars!
"I said I'll give it to you, so take it!" Qian Huijun tickled her, "Auntie wants to ask you something, don't you have a boyfriend at school?"

Yueyue blushed, "Well, well..."

"Is there any?"

"Of course there is. Our Yueyue is so beautiful that the boys chasing after her have to line up from Qianmen Street to the city wall!"

"There were two, but I didn't agree to them. My grandfather said that study is more important, and dating..."

"Go for it if you find something good, don't be shy, otherwise you'll miss it forever!" Qian Huijun urged with a smile, making Xiao Yueyue blush. "Auntie, what are you saying? I..."

"The little girl is in love!"

Xiao Yueyue covered her little face and tickled Qian Huijun mischievously, and the room was filled with happy laughter!

Wang Baoqing, Zhang Fuming and Cao Xingwen also came back. The young men had just arrived home and had not even sat down when they were dragged to the seed station by Sun Jianping to help Uncle Li Jingchen with seed research.

"Jianping, you have matched me with three top students!" Li Jingchen smiled and looked at the three young men busy in the greenhouse, and joked with Sun Jianping. Sun Jianping also smiled, "Since they are in college, they must put their knowledge into practice, otherwise the country has spent money to educate them in vain."

"That's right. By the way, when are you leaving for that trip abroad? I have packed all my things!"

"It'll only be a few days. He'll be back before the New Year."

"That's great! All my life I've wanted to go abroad to see how other people build and develop!" Ever since the old man learned that he could go abroad to take a look, he was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep!
There is a saying that goes, the country bumpkin should go out for a walk, and the sea turtle should come back to take a look!

It is time for us, the "Tubalu", to go deep behind enemy lines, visit Western countries, and do some "field research!"

necessary!

"Don't worry, uncle. We will not leave you behind when the time comes!"

"Then I'll wait for you at home!"

Li Jingchen took out a small package, and a bunch of notebooks fell out of it. "These are what your aunt prepared for me. She told me to write a diary every day after I arrive in the West, record the local customs and practices there, and bring it back to her to show her."

"Auntie is so thoughtful!"

Sun Jianping smiled, looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he called the three "cows and horses" and went home for dinner!

"Uncle, you really want to go abroad!"

The three young men followed behind Sun Jianping and asked anxiously. Sun Jianping nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the United States and broaden our horizons."

"I want to go too!"

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to go abroad in the future. Now just stay at home and help Grandma Miao to take care of the greenhouse. I will bring you good things when I come back!" "Thank you, uncle!"

The three young men clenched their fists in excitement!

Soon it was time to officially set off. Lao Cao, Lao Zhang, Mr. Xia, Yu Changhai and others gathered at Ermajia, got on the tractor, and went to Hecheng to pick up Yao Zhongping and old man Jiang Mingqi. After getting the overseas travel procedures that old man Jiang had asked someone to handle, they took a train to Harbin, flew to Beijing, transferred from Beijing to Shanghai, and then took a flight directly to San Francisco.

The plane crossed the vast Pacific Ocean. It was the first time for Lao Cao and others to take a plane. Sun Jianping specially selected a window seat for the old man. Through the porthole, Lao Cao looked at the vast blue sea below with a look of surprise, and tightly held Sun Jianping's hand, his face a little pale!

"What's wrong, uncle?"

"Jianping, you said, this plane can't fall!"

"Uncle, this is something you can't prepare for!" Sun Jianping laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. Lao Cao was even more scared. "Oh my god, there's water all over the place. If you fall in, you won't be able to swim out even after a month or so! That's the end of you!"

"Uncle, there's the Pacific Ocean below, which is 180 million square kilometers, equivalent to the size of 20 of our countries. If we really fall in, we won't be able to swim out in eight or ten years, let alone a few months!"

"Eight or ten years...Won't that person become a rotten egg?" Lao Cao became even more frightened when he heard it!

"Uncle, don't worry. Planes usually don't have accidents. You see, we are flying above the clouds now!" Sun Jianping pointed out of the porthole, and the old man realized that the white things outside the window were actually clouds!

I thought it was a cotton cover to prevent the cold on the plane!

After all this fuss, it’s just clouds!
In my life, I have only seen clouds from the ground, but this is the first time I have looked up at the clouds!
"Emma, ​​these clouds are so beautiful..." After getting rid of his initial fear, the old man became a little excited again. He tilted his head and looked greedily at the large clouds outside the window. Suddenly, the clouds in front of him spun into a huge vortex. The old man hurriedly pulled Sun Jianping's sleeve, "Jianping, look, why are the clouds swirling?"

"That's called a typhoon. It's the water vapor in the ocean that flies up to the sky, gathers together, and is spun by the force of the earth's rotation, forming a vortex. Look, there's an eye in the middle, isn't it? It's called the eye of the typhoon..."

"Ah...that's what it is!" The old man didn't understand what he heard, but it looked really good!
Quite interesting!
I'll brag to Yu Changhai in the village later...

Grass!
Yu Changhai, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and grinned at him, "Old Deng, you've opened your eyes this time!"

"Get out of the way!" Lao Cao glared.

As the plane was taking the Arctic route, it headed north after passing over the Japanese and there was a vast expanse of white below. These old men had seen enough of ice and snow and suddenly found it boring. They pulled blankets over themselves and dozed off with their eyes closed.

Meals were started to be served on the plane. Since it was a direct flight to the United States, the meals were very particular. There were not only scallion-fried sea cucumbers, braised fish maw, braised prawns, Peking duck, soft-fried fresh fish, etc., but we could also have some wine!
A cup of Maozi for each person!
Lao Cao and others did not expect that the food on the plane would be so luxurious. Based on the idea that "the money has been spent, it would be a waste if we don't eat, and who wouldn't eat for free", everyone including Mr. Xia raised their hands to ask for meals!

The flight attendant didn't expect that these old men in their sixties and seventies would have such a good appetite. Seeing that they were still not satisfied after eating, she hurriedly served them another portion.

"Uncle, how about it? Is flying more comfortable than taking a train?"

After eating and drinking, Lao Cao wiped his mouth with toilet paper and grinned, "Of course, what can you eat on the train? This guy has all the chicken, duck, fish and meat! How long will it take to get there?"

Sun Jianping rolled up his arm and looked at his watch. "We have already flown for three and a half hours. There are still eight and a half hours left. The total flight time is twelve hours."

"There's still so much time left!"

Lao Cao suddenly couldn't sleep, so he leaned over the window and looked out. The plane had already passed the northwest Pacific Ocean and was heading northeast along the Aleutian Islands.

"Jianping, are there any people on the ground below?"

Lao Cao asked, pointing to the scattered white islands that appeared in the vast ocean.

"Yes, of course. They are called Eskimos here. They make a living by fishing..."

"Don't you get tired of eating fish every day? The big fish in our reservoir are so delicious. Now I get tired of it after just two bites..."
