The engagement date of Yang Jing and Gege was set for the eighth day of the fifth lunar month (PS: the previous article wrote May 18th, which I have corrected.), which happened to be the summer solstice, which was more than twenty days away.
Yang Jing stayed in the United States for nearly ten days. It was already the end of May, so after he had dealt with all his affairs, he should return home. If he didn't go back, not only would his parents have to play mixed doubles with him, but Gege's parents might also have to play mixed doubles with him.
What do you mean? You are about to get engaged, but you are still staying in the United States and not coming back. Do you still want to marry my daughter?
Therefore, there was no need for anyone to urge Yang Jin to go home obediently and quickly.
But this time when Yang Jing went back, he didn't bring anyone with him. He left Lin Dan, Chris and others in the United States.
After the engagement, they will embark on an Arctic treasure hunt. Some necessary "equipment" can only be obtained in the United States, such as a sufficiently advanced polar research vessel.
This kind of high-tech polar research vessel cannot be rented in China, but very good polar research vessels can be rented in North America, so Lin Dan and Chris stayed in the United States to do this, and at the same time they had to prepare enough supplies and other equipment.
When it comes to traveling to the Arctic, you can never be too well prepared.
Yang Jing doesn't have to worry about these things, Lin Dan and the others can handle them all.
When Yang Jing got off the plane at Shanghai Pudong International Airport with a good mood after gaining $2 billion, it was exactly 4:30 in the afternoon of June 2.
Yang Jing got out of the gate and found a taxi to go straight to Jinling. Jinling is only 350 kilometers away from Shanghai, and it only takes more than four hours to get there by highway. Even if he has to adjust to the time difference when he arrives in Jinling, it is better than staying overnight in Shanghai.
As soon as I turned on my phone, I received several text messages. The most interesting ones were the voice messages from my little cousin Li Yinuo and my niece Yang Yuxuan.
When in the United States, Yang Jing gave each of the two youngest kids in the family a set of classic Barbie dolls. After all, Children's Day was coming soon, and if he, as an older brother and uncle, didn't give these two little guys gifts, they would definitely be tormented to death by these two little clingy kids when they returned home.
Yesterday was Children’s Day, and they both received their gifts successfully, so voice messages of thanks were naturally sent to them.
Especially the childish voice of his niece Yang Yuxuan, which made Yang Jing feel warm in his heart.
Although children are weak and tender, they can bring countless joy to the family and are the hope of a family.
Listening to Yang Yuxuan's childish voice of thanks, Yang Jing even had the thought of wanting a child for a moment...
"Sir, have you just returned from the United States?" The driver's question interrupted Yang Jing's thoughts, but the idea that suddenly came to his mind made him smile embarrassedly.
"Yes, I got into your car as soon as I got off the plane." Yang Jing glanced at the driver through the rearview mirror. The driver was about fifty years old, which was considered old in the taxi industry. "By the way, master, how did you know I just came back from the United States?"
"Haha, I have been working at Pudong International Airport since 2008, and it has been ten years now. So, unless there are special circumstances, I may understand the situation of airport flights better than the airport's own broadcasting system." The old driver seemed very proud.
Yang Jing gave the veteran driver a thumbs up.
"Sir, I can hear that your accent doesn't sound like you are from Jinling. Are you in a hurry to go to Jinling? If so, just tell me. I can increase the speed." The old driver said considerately.
"No, this speed is good enough. Safety comes first. I'm not in a hurry."
"That's good. Today there are fewer cars on the road than usual. At least we can drive at a normal speed. Normally, there are too many cars on the road and we can't drive at a normal speed. Today's situation is already very good."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. There are just too many cars in our country right now. No matter how wide the road is, it can still cause a mess."
"Yes, just like the road we are taking now, it is the only eight-lane highway in the country with a length of more than 300 kilometers. But it is usually jammed. It may be because it is Saturday today, there are fewer cars and it is much easier to drive."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "I'm from Shandong Province. We also have a highway there that is even more congested. Sometimes it takes nearly three hours to travel more than a hundred kilometers..."
"I know this. You mean the North Line of Jiqing Expressway? I have walked on that road before. God, if you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten about it. The road we are walking on now is far inferior to the North Line of Jiqing Expressway. I have a comrade-in-arms from Daocheng. More than ten years ago, I went there to visit my comrade-in-arms and took the North Line of Jiqing Expressway. As a result, the traffic jam almost drove me crazy..."
The conversation unfolded inadvertently. Yang Jing had been traveling a lot these days, and this veteran driver had traveled almost all over the country. The two of them started chatting about the traffic conditions across the country, and they couldn't stop talking until Yang Jing got off the car.
Although it is not a good thing for drivers to chat with passengers while driving, how many drivers who drive long distances don’t like to chat? Driving long distances on the highway is the easiest to get tired. Physical fatigue is secondary, and the main thing is mental fatigue, which is the most troublesome. If you chat appropriately, you can relieve this fatigue.
Of course, Yang Jing didn't mind chatting with the driver in this situation, because he himself understood it well, and he was not too sleepy at the moment, so they chatted all the way.
