On this day, the weather was clear and the sun was out. The flowers, plants and trees in the garden were bathed in the warm sunshine and looked so vibrant. Su Nuan suddenly wanted to go to the garden to drink tea and appreciate the flowers, so she asked Chen Meirong to prepare tea and snacks, and took Gu Chengfeng to the garden.
Standing in the garden, Su Nuan closed her eyes and sniffed the fresh air, then turned and said to Gu Chengfeng with a smile.
"Cheng Feng, look at how nice the weather is. Let's go for a walk in the garden when we have nothing to do. We're getting moldy if we stay in the room."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. As long as the weather is good, let's go out for a walk more often. It rains a lot in spring, so it's rare to have a sunny day."
The two chatted intermittently.
Chen Meirong took two workers to arrange the tea sets and snacks that Su Nuan needed, and then left quietly without disturbing the two.
Su Nuan skillfully fiddled with the tea set and began to make tea. Gu Chengfeng sat on the other side and admired her movements. After the tea was ready, Su Nuan motioned him to taste it.
Pick up the teacup, the hot steam lingers and the tea soup is clear. Take a sip of tea and the fragrance of the tea spreads, refreshing, sweet and soothing your throat.
“Good tea, this tea is really good.”
"If you like it, I'll make it for you."
While the two were talking, Chen Meirong hurried over to find Su Nuan.
"Miss, Mr. Gu's father called you and sounded very anxious. He will call you back in five minutes."
Su Nuan was a little confused about what Father Gu wanted to talk to her about, and looked at Gu Chengfeng puzzledly to see if he knew.
Gu Chengfeng was also confused. He would report his recovery progress to his family every few days. His father should not be concerned about his leg injury and rush to find Nuannuan. He should have other things to do.
"Nuannuan, I can't guess it either. Let's go back and wait for a call to find out what's going on."
Su Nuan nodded, and the few of them returned to the living room of the main building to wait for the call.
Soon the phone rang and Su Nuan picked up the phone.
Father Gu's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is that Xiao Nuan? I'm your Uncle Gu."
"Uncle Gu, it's me. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiao Nuan, I need your help with something. This matter is confidential, so I can't say more over the phone. All I can tell you is that this matter is very important to the country. I hope you can come to Beijing to see me as soon as possible."
When Su Nuan heard what Gu's father said, and since it was a matter concerning the country, she immediately took it seriously and promised without hesitation that she would rush to Beijing as soon as possible.
After getting the answer, Mr. Gu told Su Nuan some things she needed to bring and then hung up the phone.
Gu Chengfeng was confused as he listened, and after Su Nuan hung up the phone, he asked.
"Nuannuan, what happened? Why did you say you were going to Jing City?"
"I don't know the details, but Uncle Gu told me to rush to Beijing as soon as possible. The situation is very serious."
"Okay, I'll go back with you to take a look. I'm on vacation now so I have plenty of time."
Su Nuan nodded in agreement and called Mayor Wang.
After the call was connected, Su Nuan directly stated her purpose.
"Uncle Wang, sorry to bother you. I have some urgent business and need to rush to Beijing. I'd like to ask you to give me four letters of introduction. I'll buy a plane ticket and fly there now."
When Mayor Wang heard Su Nuan's words, he agreed without much thought. He said he would arrange for the letter of introduction to be issued and let Su Nuan arrange someone to go to the municipal government to pick it up.
After Su Nuan thanked Mayor Wang and hung up the phone, she immediately called Johnson over and told him to go get the letter of introduction immediately, and then use the letter to buy four tickets to fly to Beijing as quickly as possible. This time, Su Nuan planned to bring Johnson and Jack to Beijing.
After instructing Johnson, Su Nuan took Chen Meirong to the room to pack their luggage. Jack was responsible for Johnson and Jack's luggage, while Gu Chengfeng returned to the room to pack his own luggage.
After Johnson came back, he bought a ticket with a departure time of 4 pm. He went to the airport two hours in advance. Because he had to catch the plane, Aunt Mei prepared lunch early.
Su Nuan took advantage of this time to call Li Pete and explain that she would be away from Shanghai for a while and that she would leave all the company's affairs to him. She also left the Gu family's phone number so that they could call if there was anything.
After lunch, the few of them prepared everything they needed, and Chen Meirong drove them to the Shanghai airport.
After arriving at the airport and completing the check-in procedures, Su Nuan waited to board the plane. At the same time, Su Nuan called Gu's father's office at the airport to inform them of the plane's landing time. Gu's father said that he would arrange for someone to pick him up, and the two ended the call.
When the airport notified us to board the plane, several people boarded with their light luggage. The planes in the 1980s were different from the large passenger planes of later generations. Few people can take planes now, and you cannot take a plane without a letter of introduction to purchase the plane. Moreover, the plane ticket is not cheap, equivalent to half of people's current salary income, so there are relatively few passengers on the plane, and most of them are civil servants on business trips.
When I boarded the plane, I found that there were less than 10 people in the cabin with more than 40 seats, and the seats were very spacious and comfortable.
After a few people took their seats, the flight attendants came up to serve everyone. They first gave everyone a lot of souvenirs. In the 1980s, in order to improve the service level, the most common method used by civil aviation was to give souvenirs on the plane, including key chains, playing cards, combs, fans, airplane models and other small items.
The most amazing thing is that passengers can smoke and cigars, and of course they can bring fire. Matches will also be given to passengers as souvenirs.
This is an absolutely unacceptable behavior in later generations. Smoking poses a great threat to the safe flight of aircraft, but the aircraft management at that time was not strict. Perhaps the civil aviation management at that time was not standardized enough and was not aware of these dangerous behaviors.
Smoking is allowed on the plane, and the flight attendants also give cigarettes to passengers, one pack of Zhonghua cigarettes per person. Passengers who want to drink can drink Moutai and Huaxia wine for free.
At dinner time, we had bread, sausage, ice cream, and the adults had Five Star beer, Moutai, and Huaxia red wine. There were no electronic devices, and Teresa Teng's songs were playing in the cabin.
In addition to these meals and snacks, there are also airplane meals, but today's airplane meals are not as standardized and convenient as those in later generations. Today's airplane meals are prepared before boarding the plane and packed in aluminum lunch boxes, containing one meat and one vegetable, one portion for each person.
This kind of food was much better than most family meals, but Su Nuan lost her appetite when she saw that the fat in the meat had cooled and solidified because it had been left out for too long, and the rice was also cold and hard.
Looking at Gu Chengfeng next to him, he was already eating with relish, so he handed his portion to Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Chengfeng was confused at first, but after he figured it out, he took the lunch boxes and ate both portions cleanly. There was no food wasted at this time.
Su Nuan’s dinner was just some bread and sausage to fill her stomach, and she would eat after getting off the plane.
When the plane arrived in Beijing, night had already fallen. Except for the scattered lights at the airport, the rest of the surroundings were pitch black.
After several people left the airport with their suitcases, Gu Chengfeng spotted his father's guard. After stepping forward to greet him, they got on the military jeep driven by the guard and headed towards the Jingshi troops.
