Due to the airflow, the plane was always shaking, which made Dong Qiangqiang feel nauseous. Except for the nightmare he had when he first got on the plane, he couldn't sleep anymore. Although Lufthansa's in-flight meals were tempting, he only drank some carrot juice between meals.
On the other hand, the girl next to him looked very experienced. She needed to eat, drink, and sleep. The bumps didn't seem to have any effect on her. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but secretly marveled.
"Dear passengers, the plane is expected to arrive at Frankfurt Airport in Germany in thirty minutes. The ground temperature in Frankfurt is now 17 degrees Celsius. Please add or remove clothing as appropriate. Captain Wolfgang and all the flight attendants wish you a pleasant journey. Welcome. Choose Lufthansa next time.”
Through the plane window, Dong Qiangqiang looked at the ground and saw large pieces of farmland of different colors on the ground scattered like a puzzle. Next to the road as dense as a spider web, there were rows of neat red and green small houses. Dong Qiangqiang remembered the strong-hand chess he played when he was a child.
At the moment of landing, for unknown reasons, the plane bumped violently several times. If it weren't for the seat belt, the tall Dong Qiangqiang would have hit the luggage compartment above his head.
The Germans' landing skills seemed to be average, Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself, feeling a little disdainful.
When he got off the plane, Dong Qiangqiang helped a petite foreign girl next to him to pick up her luggage. When he wanted to talk to the girl next to him, the girl was already waiting in line in the business class to get off the plane. Looking at the girl's back and the queue of two people waiting to get off the plane, Dong Qiangqiang sighed in his heart.
Before departure, Dong Qiangqiang specifically confirmed with the airport personnel that since his destination was Hannover Airport in Germany, he did not need to pick up his checked baggage at the Frankfurt Airport where he was transiting.
It is now Friday, May 11, 2001, 15:30 pm German time, and the next flight leaves at 17:30. Dong Qiangqiang checked the location of the next boarding gate. It was not too far away from him. Although Frankfurt Airport was very big, it would only take fifteen minutes to walk there. He had plenty of time and planned to take a walk around the airport.
Dong Qiangqiang, who was going abroad for the first time, did not see anything new in the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu. But walking on the smooth marble pavement in the airport, he saw the dazzling array of exquisite products and the endless flow of people from all over the world that he had only seen on TV. , still made him feel a bit in a trance: everything seemed to be a dream, he was still in Beijing a few hours ago, and suddenly, others were abroad.
He suddenly thought of his parents and friends. It was now 21:30 pm Beijing time. He wondered what people in the country were doing and whether they were thinking about him too. Don't know what she is doing.
He was a little melancholy and a little emotional. But these emotions were quickly swept away, and he shouted excitedly in his heart: Germany, I am finally here!
Since he didn't eat anything on the plane, Dong Qiangqiang's stomach protested against him after a short stroll. Dong Qiangqiang looked at the fast food restaurants and restaurants in the airport while walking, but the prices really shocked him: the same hamburger only cost 18 yuan in China, but it cost 9.99 marks at the airport, which was almost 45 yuan based on the exchange rate. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but regret not eating more on the plane.
But no matter how hungry you are, you can’t go hungry. The next flight will take place in two hours, and there may not even be an in-flight meal.
Dong Qiangqiang walked to a relatively less crowded area in the airport, observed the surrounding environment, and then carefully took out his close-fitting wallet. The wallet contained brand-new banknotes, totaling 4,000 German marks.
What Dong Qiangqiang didn't notice was that a pair of pretty eyes were behind a green potted plant in front of him, staring closely at the wallet in his hand.
