Chapter 155 Not as good as a dog

It became dark soon after the plane took off.

Jiang Ning walked around and told everyone, "Try not to sleep. The time difference between us and the Americans is more than ten hours. It will be night when we arrive in New York. Don't sleep on the plane. Sleep for a night in New York to reverse the time difference. If you sleep for a night on the plane, you won't be able to sleep in New York at night, and you won't have energy the next day. Just hold on as long as you can."

Everyone responded, but not very enthusiastically.

I've told you all about it long ago, everyone knows it.

I woke up early and slept in the car, all the way to the airport.

Still sleeping on the plane.

Anyway, I sleep whenever I get the chance during the day.

All prepared to stay up late at night.

Jiang Ning gave his instructions and went back to play cards with his three brothers.

It’s a pity that there is no mahjong table on the plane, otherwise I would definitely not fall asleep.

The four of them just stared at each other. Of course it wouldn't work without a gamble. After a while they didn't want to play anymore. How could they kill time?

If you have a jackpot, you want to win money, and you also have the motivation to persevere.

Otherwise, how can I get through this long night?

While shuffling the cards, Jiang Ning asked his three brothers, "How big do you want to play?"

Jiang Hua was the first to say, "Ten yuan will be enough."

Jiang Ze seconded: "I think it's about the same."

Jiang Wei objected: "What's the point of playing with ten dollars? If you win or lose hundreds of dollars in one night, you might as well not play at all."

The three of them argued for a long time before they finally agreed on a minimum payment of 100 yuan.

The base bet is 100, and if you are lucky, you will neither win nor lose if you place a single bet.

If you have bad luck, you may win or lose hundreds of dollars in one go.

If you are unlucky and get locked up, your pay will be doubled, which is one thousand yuan per round.

Jiang Ning doesn’t care, but his three brothers don’t care.

Everyone kept their guard up and didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

The bigger the prize, the more energetic one becomes and the less likely one is to fall asleep.

Jiang Youxin watched the battle from the side and gave advice to Jiang Hua.

Gambling is regarded as the first of the four major evils. It is indeed harmful rather than beneficial, but it can also play a positive role under certain circumstances. For example, now it is not appropriate to drink on the plane. If you want to get through the long night, playing cards is the best way.

If you don't want to lose money, you have to cheer up.

Of course, you can't play too big.

The purpose of playing cards is to stay up late. If you win or lose a few thousand dollars by gambling, the three brothers will feel sad at most. You can't get rich overnight like in a casino or lose everything. That would go against the original intention.

The men were playing cards.

The women were playing with the children.

Or watch a movie.

Xiao Tingting usually goes to bed after nine o'clock.

I slept all the way on the road today. I slept as soon as I got on the bus and peed as soon as I got off. I was so excited when I got on the plane. I ran around and jumped into various cabins, sometimes to bother my grandma and mom, and sometimes to run over to grab the poker cards in the hands of my uncles.

As a result, Jiang Ning and his friends couldn't even play cards in peace.

Finally, she was given a deck of cards and asked to play by herself.

But what’s the point of playing alone?

The little girl got bored after playing for a few times and wanted to snatch the cards from her uncle's hand.

Jiang Ning was in a state of panic. He couldn't beat or scold this little ancestor and really had no idea what to do with him.

The little girl kept making noise until after eleven o'clock, and finally she was tired.

Fell asleep on grandma's lap.

The guys finally calmed down a bit.

After the little girl fell asleep, the women came to take a look.

Sun Mei suggested: "Let's play cards, otherwise it will be hard to get through the night."

Chen Huiru was the first to respond: "That's fine."

Jiang Ze’s wives Liu Yuping and Feng Yu also had no objections.

It's really hard to endure. It's just past eleven o'clock and I'm feeling a little sleepy.

The movie was also boring.

I really can't hold on without some fun.

So the women also gathered at a table, and finally pulled Feng Xue along, and they also sat there in silence.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue didn't know how to play very well, so they just followed along blindly.

Fortunately, the gameplay is very simple and you can master it quickly.

But after fighting for an hour, after twelve o'clock, Feng Yu couldn't hold on any longer.

Be the first to yawn.

Zhang Yulan gave an idea: "Fighting is meaningless. You should learn to win money like men, and then you won't feel sleepy."

Sun Meiren was the most active and was the first to respond: "Third Aunt is right. It's boring to play without any jackpot. Let's learn from the men to win money. Don't play too big. Ten yuan is the minimum. Feng Yu will definitely not fall asleep."

Chen Huiru was the first to respond again.

Liu Yuping and Feng Yu felt a little embarrassed.

I feel that women gambling is a disgrace to the family.

But without any jackpot, playing this card is really boring.

I no longer want to fight.

So I reluctantly agreed and won money.

After starting over, Feng Yu was no longer sleepy.

If you don't want to lose money, you have to cheer up.

Although she is not short of money, she doesn't want to lose to others!

I don't want to lose even ten dollars.

With the support of the mahjong spirit, no one felt sleepy anymore.

Feng Yu lost the first game, starting off with a black opening.

He was locked up and didn't play a single card.

I doubled my money and lost a hundred, and I instantly felt the pain.

I no longer feel sleepy, and I no longer feel drowsy.

In fact, she had a chance to play a card. She had a tractor in her hand, and she was reluctant to separate the cards when she played them individually. As a result, Liu Yuping played them all directly. When there was no prize, she just played casually, it didn't matter, but now it is obviously different.

Seeing that she was not very good at playing cards, Zhang Yulan sat aside and advised: "You can't not play cards. You have to play a card first, otherwise you will be locked up. At least play one card, and then you will have four cards left. You will only lose forty. If you are locked up, you will have to get one hundred."

Feng Yu deeply agreed that these were lessons learned with money.

The lessons learned from money are the most profound.

So next, whenever there is a chance to play a card, you must play it.

Every one that can escape counts.

Feng Xue was lucky and she finished first in the second game.

Sun Mei was also imprisoned.

With wins and losses, the women were all excited.

Time slipped away quietly, and before I knew it, it was dawn.

Zhang Yulan was surprised: "How come the sky is getting light so soon?"

Sun Mei, Liu Yuping and Chen Huiru were also surprised.

Feng Yu glanced out the window and explained to everyone: "The earth is rotating, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. We are flying eastward now, which is equivalent to flying towards the sun. It's like two cars driving in opposite directions. Naturally, they will meet head-on soon."

This principle is simple and easy to understand, and the three sisters-in-law all understood it.

Only Zhang Yulan still couldn't figure it out.

But after thinking about it, I stopped thinking about it.

The sky brightened visibly.

Soon the sun came out.

The women stopped playing cards and just leaned against the window to watch the sun rise.

Watch the sun peek over the sea and then quickly rise.

The speed is obviously much faster than before.

In just a few minutes, it jumped out of the sea level.

Everyone took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos. This kind of wonder is not often seen.

After looking at the sun for a while, he continued playing cards.

Time slipped away quietly and soon it was past three o'clock.

People who play cards don’t feel sleepy and become more energetic the more they play.

The spectators couldn't hold on any longer, and Zhang Yulan fell asleep next to her granddaughter.

Dad Jiang is used to staying up late, so he can hold on.

Jiang Ning's luck today was neither good nor bad, he neither won nor lost.

Basically maintain balance.

Jiang Hua had the best luck and won more than three thousand.

Jiang Ze had the worst luck and lost more than four thousand.

The more money you win, the more excited you become, and you want to continue winning.

The more money you lose, the more excited you become, wanting to get it back.

Unfortunately, the sun has set before I can get my money back.

This day is very short, much shorter than usual.

When the sun disappeared below the sea level, Jiang Ning and his three friends were still quite energetic.

The women couldn't bear it any longer, especially the two pregnant women.

My eyelids keep fighting.

Jiang Ning went over to take a look and asked her to rest for a while.

Feng Yu didn't want to rest. She wanted to win back the money she lost.

I don’t feel bad if I spend a thousand, but I feel bad if I lose a hundred.

Not to mention she lost more than a hundred.

Feng Xue surprisingly had good luck and won more than three hundred.

This does not include the money Feng Yu lost to her, otherwise she would have won more.

Just then, the flight attendant came over to remind us.

It's another half hour to Los Angeles and the plane needs to refuel.

People have to get off and cannot stay on the plane.

So the card game ended and everyone packed up to get off the plane.

Sun Mei asked the men, "Who won?"

Jiang Hui would pull at the hem of his clothes and say, "Hua Zi won, and the boss lost."

Sun Mei asked Jiang Hua, "How much did you win?" Jiang Hua smiled and said, "More than 3,000."

Liu Yuping asked Jiang Dui: "How much did you lose?"

Jiang Ze was a little depressed: "I lost more than four thousand."

Liu Yuping was surprised: "Why is it so smelly? Are you the only one who lost?"

Jiang Ze nodded helplessly. Today was really unlucky.

Liu Yuping was happy: "I also won more than a thousand yuan."

Feng Yu smiled with her lips pursed, but there was depression between her brows.

Jiang Ning asked her: "How much did you lose?"

Feng Yu pursed his lips: "More than a thousand yuan."

Chen Huiru said: "Only Feng Xue and my sister-in-law won, and we all lost."

After a while of communication, the flight attendant came over to remind them.

The plane is about to land, please sit down and fasten your seat belts.

So everyone return to your seats and fasten your seat belts.

After the plane landed, everyone got off the plane without taking their suitcases.

I just grabbed a bag, got off the plane, got in the car, and went to the terminal to rest.

It was already dark.

Xiao Tingting was still asleep, so Jiang Hua carried her off the plane.

There was a man in his thirties on the bus, arranged by the airline.

We were led to the terminal. There were not many people there late at night, only a few dozen people in the waiting room, but they were all foreigners. Seeing so many foreigners, everyone suddenly felt a strong sense of strangeness.

I also realized instantly that this is a foreign country.

Not my hometown.

I found a place to sit down, and the man said a few words and left.

Jiang Wei couldn't wait to ask, "Is this really the Los Angeles airport?"

Jiang Ze also said: "It's even shabbier than the small airport in our city. Were we in the wrong place?"

Others also nodded, and everyone said that America was good.

Rich people all flock here.

I thought it was so wonderful, a paradise on earth!

As a result, this shabby terminal feels even worse than the train station in my hometown county.

It really subverts cognition.

Jiang Ning said, "What's the big deal? Many buildings in the United States were built dozens or even a hundred years ago. There are several airports in Los Angeles. This must be a small airport. Everything in my hometown is newly built. It must be better than in the United States."

Jiang Wei couldn't understand: "This airport is so shabby, why doesn't anyone complain about it?"

Jiang Ning asked: "Lijiang is such a lousy place, why didn't you complain after you came back from your visit? Why did you let us go there?"

"Uh……"

Jiang Wei had nothing to say, he cared most about his reputation.

No matter where we travel, people always say it’s good when they come back, never say it’s bad.

Jiang Ze said: "The scenic spots in my hometown are all pitfalls. The best scenery is actually on the road."

Jiang Ning deeply agreed with this. Although he had not been to many places and had only been out a few times, from what he had seen and heard, for example, the Ancient Town of Lijiang, the Ancient Town of Dali, and even the Confucius Temple in Nanjing had become commercial streets.

Not to mention other places.

Only Hangzhou is good, opening up the West Lake for everyone to see for free.

The real beautiful scenery is actually on the road.

There are beautiful views all the way when driving.

Most of the scenic spots are shopping areas.

After chatting for a while, they all went to the bathroom.

When I came out of the toilet, there was no one sitting there.

After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, my butt is almost sore.

There is no place to sit still.

Either stand and talk, or walk back and forth.

A few foreigners not far away saw this group of people and seemed quite curious.

Jiang Ning glanced over there.

A few foreigners, unlike the people back home, chose to look away.

One young man even took the initiative to greet them: "Hi, are you guys Japanese?"

Everyone was confused and looked at Jiang Ning.

Feng Yu also looked at Jiang Ning, she didn't understand a single word.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised. The other party was speaking Italian. He was obviously an Italian guy. So he shook his head and said in Italian: "You are wrong. We are not Japanese. We are Chinese."

The Italian guy was quite surprised and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, you Orientals look so much alike, I can't recognize you."

Jiang Ning said: "It doesn't matter."

The Italian guy asked: "You can speak Italian, did you study in Italy?"

Jiang Ning said, "You are wrong again. I have never studied abroad in Italy. I learned Italian from a retired leather mask guy. That guy doesn't speak English, only Italian. I learned it by listening to him many times."

"Leather hood?"

The young man was surprised: "Do you know the man with the leather hood?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "I know a few."

The young man asked, "If people with leather hoods go abroad after retirement, they usually become mercenaries. Are you a mercenary?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, the man with the leather hood I know is a mover."

The young man looked unconvinced: "Leather hood went abroad to work as a porter after retiring? How is that possible? You are lying."

Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "I didn't lie. The guy I knew was indeed a porter. Of course, it's possible that he lied and he didn't wear a leather hood at all."

The young man actually nodded: "What you said makes sense, it is indeed possible."

Everyone felt that Jiang Ning was worse than a dog when they saw him communicating with foreigners in a language they couldn't understand. Especially since Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze had both been to college, albeit a bad one, but their diplomas were not fake.

But look now.

A high school student can communicate with foreigners in a foreign language without any obstacles.

I have wasted my time in college.

I haven't felt this way before.

I think everyone is about the same.

Now it's very obvious.

Jiang Ning didn't chat much with the foreigner. They just said a few words and then left each other alone.

Sun Mei was the first to ask Jiang Ning: "What did you say? Is it English?"

Jiang Ning said: "No, that guy is Italian and speaks Italian."

Sun Mei was surprised: "Italian?"

Others were also surprised.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes."

Feng Yu was relieved: "No wonder it didn't sound like English to me. I couldn't understand a single word."

Zhang Yulan couldn't help but laugh at the younger generation: "Look at you, all of you are still college students, but you are so clueless when you come out, you can't even understand what others are saying, aren't you ashamed?"

Everybody looked at each other and laughed.

Not at all ashamed.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Everyone is the same. Among so many college students, how many can communicate with foreigners fluently in foreign languages?

Not to mention knowing several foreign languages.

After all, Jiang Ning is just an exception.

After waiting for a while, the man who had left before came back.

Lead everyone out of the waiting room and get on the shuttle bus into the airport.

It didn't take long before we arrived at the plane, got off the car and got on.

The cabin was obviously cleaned up, and some messy things were put back in order.

Apparently, while they were resting, the flight attendants were also busy.

After getting off the plane, the women were no longer sleepy.

After the plane took off again at night, we gathered together to chat.

There were still two hours left on the flight and no one wanted to sleep.

Even little Tingting woke up and started making trouble again.

At around ten o'clock, the plane landed at a small airport in New York.

The United States has the most airports in the world. In addition to the three major airports in New York, there are many small airports. Jiang Ning had never heard of the airport where the plane landed. Among the New York airports, he only knew of Kennedy Airport and had never heard of the others.

But this is not important.

It was already very late and everyone hadn't slept a wink all day and night.

The most urgent thing now is to find a place to sleep.

So we got off the plane, got into three business cars brought by the local staff and left the airport, and went to the hotel to rest. It was dark in the night and we couldn't see where we were, but the lights of the city in the distance were clearly visible.

It shouldn't be too far away.

Jiang Ning, Feng Yu and Feng Xue were in the same car. He and Feng Yu sat in the middle, while Feng Xue sat alone in the third row. The passenger seat was occupied by the local tour guide, a woman in her thirties named Xie Ning. The driver was also a fellow villager.

But a man of few words.

Jiang Ning chatted with Xie Ning for a few words and then asked in surprise: "You are not from the airline company?"

Xie Ning replied: "No, we just cooperate with airlines to provide high-end customized services for their high-end customers. Of course, you are also our customer now. You can tell us whatever you need."

Jiang Ning asked: "Are you a travel agency?"

Xie Ning replied: "No, we have this business, but we are not a travel agency. We only cooperate with airlines and provide customized services for their high-end customers. We do not accept general travel business. Cooperation with airlines is only part of our company's business. We also have other businesses, such as immigration agency and asset acquisition consulting, etc. If you have relatives immigrating or purchasing assets in the United States, you can also find us to provide you with services."

Jiang Ning nodded and chatted for a few more words.

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the outskirts of the city.

Feng Yu looked out the window and asked, "Is this New York?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's New York. Look, that's the Empire State Building."

Feng Yu watched from afar, but couldn't see clearly.

Xie Ning turned around and asked, "Has Mr. Jiang ever been to New York?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, I guessed."

Feng Yu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, thinking that it was quite interesting to see her man lying.

She knew that Jiang Ning had been to New York, but not in his current identity. Jiang Ning had several passports, and Feng Yu had seen them all. Except for the photo, the rest of the information was all fake...

In fact, it is not false, it is just different from the current identity information.

This is the second time that Jiang Ning has gone abroad.

These are the only two times that the authorities can find.

　I had a lot of things to do today. I had a quarrel with the property management and wasted most of the day. I only wrote 5%
