Before dawn, Xu Fuchun and his family got on the car that had been arranged in advance to go to the airport, and arrived at the airport two hours before the plane took off.

It was Xu Fuchun’s first time traveling far away and also his first time taking a plane.

In the spacious and bright airport, people in bright and beautiful clothes walked quickly past with suitcases.

Xu Fuchun lowered his head slightly, looking at his old short-sleeved shirt, which had a small hole on the hem.

She thought this was her best dress, and it wasn't very noticeable at home, but the airport was too bright, and not only did the dress look old, but even the hole seemed to be clearly visible.

She secretly pinched the small hole with her hands, trying to cover it up so that others wouldn't see it and feel embarrassed.

Zhou Zhou went to the front to pick up the ticket and check in. After he finished, he came back with the ticket, took his parents to check in the luggage, and went through security check.

The waiting area has transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, through which you can see the large planes parked on the flat ground outside.

Zhou Liang stood by the French window, staring at the planes outside for a long time. He had been frowning, but perhaps he had figured something out. He forced himself to smile and turned to his son and said, "This is the first time for Dad to see a plane. Come, take a picture of me and your mom here."

Xu Fuchun was reluctant to go over, and only when Zhou Liang kept waving at her did she go over.

Zhou Liang hugged his wife with one hand and made a "yeah" gesture with the other hand like a child.

Zhou Zhou picked up his phone and took a photo of his parents' smiling faces and the plane behind them.

He showed the photo to his parents.

Xu Fuchun finally smiled and said, "Why is this plane not as big as I imagined? I thought it would be very big."

Zhou Liang said: "Yes, it's smaller than I thought."

"When we get to Kyoto, there are many fun places. You guys always wanted to go to the Great Wall, so this is a good time to go and see it." Zhou Zhou planned, "I'll take some photos of you, and when we get home, I'll print them out and hang them up in photo frames."

Xu Fuchun frowned, and said, "No, it costs a lot to go out and play. It costs a lot to go out and see a doctor."

Zhou Liang held her hand and patted it, "Let's go for a walk. This is a good time to see all the places you want to see."

Xu Fuchun felt surprised, because her husband was usually more frugal than her and would rather break one dollar into three.

She said nothing.

Zhou Zhou just happened to be in a hurry to go to the toilet.

The couple sat there alone, and Xu Fuchun asked worriedly, "Aliang, what happened to you today?"

"It's okay." Zhou Liang shook his head, his eyes slightly red, as if he couldn't control his emotions. "No matter what the result of this trip to Kyoto is, let's just treat it as a trip and relax. You have been with me for most of your life and have never enjoyed anything. I have never taken you anywhere. This time, I will take you out to have some fun. I have money on me, so you can spend it with confidence."

In addition to the 10,000 yuan given by Fuqiang, he also took the bank card containing all the family savings.

If Fuchun is in poor health, he will go to work for Fuqiang's family and pay back the ten thousand yuan.

If Fuchun gets better, the money will have to be repaid.

People have this intention, but he can't take it for granted.

However, this time he did have selfish motives. He did not tell Fuchun that he had taken the ten thousand yuan from Fuqiang. He thought, let her have a good time this time without any worries.

Check in 45 minutes before the flight takes off.

After the plane took off, the couple looked out the window, feeling a little excited.

Zhou Zhou was a little embarrassed at first because no one was talking. He wanted to remind his parents to stop talking several times, but seeing them whispering to each other like little kids on the plane made him a little scared, and his heartbeat seemed to speed up.

In fact, my parents’ voices are very quiet, not even as loud as the noise of an airplane flying, so they won’t disturb other people.

But he was close and could hear clearly.

This embarrassment was just like when he was a child, before the Chinese New Year, his father took the whole family to the county town to buy new clothes.

It happened that someone called his father about something. At that time, his father was using an old-fashioned phone, which cost only one or two hundred yuan. The quality was not good, and the call volume was not loud enough, so he was afraid that the other party could not hear him.

He and his sister stood nearby, watching his father talking to the other end of the phone on the street in a voice that sounded like shouting.

Those people coming and going always take a second look when passing by.

However, Zhou Zhou lowered his head in shame and looked at his big toe, thinking that his father was so uncultured.

But he didn't notice at all that his father was just trying to make money, so he loudly confirmed with others about the work to be done the day after tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou looked back at his parents with an expression on their faces like a child riding a toy car for the first time. He tilted his head back, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

Those so-called embarrassment and shame may be due to the deep inferiority in one's bones, so one is very careful not to let others see the slightest embarrassment in oneself.

Some people say that growth takes a moment.

Maybe.

Just like now, he would not say "shut up" to his parents because he was afraid of other people's eyes.

When the flight attendant brought biscuits and water, he would considerately unscrew the bottle and give it to his parents as the flight attendant handed it to him.

When my parents asked curiously, "Are these cookies and water free?"

He would no longer think that his parents are really ignorant, but would nod and tell them, "Yes, there are garbage bags here. You can put the garbage in them and someone will come to collect it later."

Just like when he was a child, he didn’t know how to eat with chopsticks, and his parents patiently taught him.

After eating and taking a nap, I got off the plane.

As soon as Zhou Zhou landed, he contacted the friend who his uncle had arranged to pick him up yesterday, confirmed the location, and followed the crowd towards the exit.

Zhou Ping took leave early and was waiting at the airport exit.

She immediately spotted her parents who had just walked out of the exit, waved happily, and ran over impatiently when the people came out a little further.

"Mom and Dad, are you tired from flying?" She reached out to take the handbag from her father.

Zhou Liang held it tightly, "This bag is heavy, you can't lift it, let me carry it. I'm not tired from flying, but my ears hurt."

"I've never been on a plane. I used to take the high-speed rail." Zhou Ping replied, but then she was slapped on the head and turned back in pain.

Zhou Zhou grinned, "Not calling me? That's rude."

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes at him and called out perfunctorily, "Brother."

At this time, the man who had been following Zhou Ping called out, "Uncle, Auntie, Brother."

The three of them looked over at the same time.

Zhou Ping introduced them openly: "Dad, Mom, brother, this is my boyfriend, his last name is Zhou, Zhou Le."
