《THE WAY OF FAITH》CH.92-Back Home
Advertisement
At Sydney Airport in Australia, at 5:23 p.m., the three members of the Yu family who had not gone through automatic customs clearance queued up at the back of a long queue. Because Li Qiao didn't understand Australian English very well, she missed the moment of fingerprint identification, so customs had to create a shortcut for her to confirm again at another place.
Fortunately, they passed the test smoothly and did not spend too much time struggling with Australian English. The reasons why the three people were in such a hurry were, firstly, that one of them really wanted to go to the toilet, secondly, there were souvenirs from duty-free shops, and thirdly, they had to apply for a tax refund for the gifts they bought in Chinatown.
So after going to the toilet, one went to buy what one needed to buy, return what another needed to return, and go shopping when the other needed to.
A grey-blue checkered plastic basket hung on Li Qiao's arm, with several bottles of papaya hand cream in it. Yu Ruoling quietly walked over and took a look, and found that the products in the duty-free shop were indeed much cheaper than those in the gift shop. No wonder her mother said that cosmetics and skin care products should be purchased at the airport.
She quietly backed away again and walked around a long way to the tax refund counter. The whole row of people squeezed together inexplicably gave her a trypophobia attack, and she searched for three minutes before she found Yu Xiaoyu who had been squeezed away to where she almost can't find.
Yu was surprised to dicover that her aunt was still there after ten minutes. She glanced secretly and then slipped away.
Remembering what her aunt had said before, 'Spend all the Australian coins and small bills you can, otherwise they won't exchange them for you when you return to Taiwan.'
The black-haired girl leaned against the wall, opened her wallet, and counted the amounts carefully and low-key. Then decided to go to the store to take away macadamia nuts.
She have already told her mother about the papaya hand cream for Muxi, so let her give Macadamia nuts to Huang Yinke, her classmate Dong Tinghua, brother Shao Xu'an, Xinyong brother, Wanying, Tianmo and Tianzhao the twins.
As for the gifts of the two pastors and the preacher, her mother will cover them well.
While thinking this, the built-in computer in Yu Ruoling's mobile phone was also calculating the price. A few seconds later, she unexpectedly discovered that the calculated price exactly matched the amount in her wallet. So the girl happily left all the Australian dollars she had in the duty-free shop at Sydney Airport.
It was also regarded as a formal farewell to Sydney. She thought happily that she would sort out the photos when she return to Taiwan and review the textbooks she need to read for the entrance examination.
'By the way the read and study'. Yu Ruoling emphasized in her heart that after all, Hanchung High School is a community school that anyone can get into regardless of the exam, and its ranking in this city is also in the middle.
As for why she should choose it instead of a better high school..., Yu Ruoling recalled the question the class teacher asked her.
Her answer was, close to home.
These three simple words unexpectedly convinced the class teacher. It seemed that the class teacher’s brain circuit was almost assimilated by her(smirking).

Another reason she didn't say anything was that in that school she could freely be a genius. Even if she couldn't be ranked in the top ten, there was still no problem in being ranked in the top thirty. Then work hard to maintain and improve her grade to steadily tear up the Star Bar, and finally get a good national university with academic test scores.
This is her plan, and her aunts, grandma and mother all agree with it. Although deliberately choosing Hanchung High School as her first choice feels a bit scheming, it's like trying to steal someone else's Star Bar chance, or shamelessly being an elite member of a weak village.
But anyway -
- She, Yu Ruoling, is such a shameless person.
Cough.
The topic is twisted. Having said that, she murmured to herself, her childish aunt has been in that position for a full half hour, why hasn't she moved?
Yu Ruoling looked up at the "Tax Refund" sign hanging on the ceiling, feeling that she had finally seen with her own eyes an administrative unit whose work efficiency was worse than that of her city's municipal government(transportation department).
"Why are you still here, dude?"
"Dude?!I am not a dude!I'm a beautiful woman!"
"Oh just stop it, they are looking you now."
"You're so annoying!I'm a beautiful woman!How many times have you been shopping?"Yu Xiaoyu looked her up and down, "What did you buy?"
"Macadamia nuts?I don't know if they taste good. I've never eaten them."
"This!My colleague bought it before, from the company's group purchase. I've eaten it, and it's quite delicious.... As a gift for boyfriend?"
"Who has it?Do you have it?I don't have it. I've always been single. Thank you.”
"Tsk. Where is your mother?"Yu Xiaoyu took the order handed to her by the clerk and turned around to ask.
"Sorry, there is an application errors, so I have to ask you write down your information and then give it to us. We will return your tax refund as hurry as we can."The staff said.
"...I got it, thank you."
The two of them were stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a while.
"I thought this kind of thing wouldn't happen?"Yu Ruoling said confused.
"...I thought so too, originally."
The world-famous Sydney Airport Tax Refund Office has a computer application error. Yu and her aunt, who were not the only Chinese present, said.
"How can I be worthy of myself if I don't post this on Facebook?"
So while Yu Xiaoyu was filling out the form and submitting it to the organizer, Yu Ruoling quickly posted it.
Fortunately, she hasn’t posted yet today, so she doesn’t keep repeating the same location. By the way, she took a partial photo of the scene as it gradually became chaotic and exploded.
In the end, the refunded taxes can only be confirmed one by one by staffs handlers, and then put into brown paper bags and sent by airbus back to the passengers' countries, and then sent to various post offices from the local airport, and finally returned to each person's hands.
She heard her aunt say so. After all, she didn't understand the operation of this work very well.
In another hour, they will board a China Southern Airlines flight from Sydney Airport in Australia back to Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan, officially returning to the territory of Little Sweet Potato.

Yu looked at the air tickets and wondered if she could catch up with the youth group's meeting and deliver those macadamia nuts to them as soon as possible - and they were freshly baked hot air cargo just after getting off the plane - and then maybe she could get some look forward to their reaction.
…Well, nothing to look forward to. Yu Ruoling faced the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the plane loading luggage outside.
What was their reaction?Compared to the others, she only stayed there for two years. She thought she was familiar with them, but in fact she was not. They only regarded her as a passerby who could pass by with a nod, not as a friend.
Sending gifts or something like that is just a way of doing it, just for example, to those who are better able to talk to her. She repeated silently, but forgot that her gifts were not for the entire fellowship, but just "those few people".
Yu Ruoling knew that fellowship's status in her heart was getting higher and higher day by day. Although she still didn't know how such a strange thing happened, now she couldn't control it even if she wanted to suppress it.
The self-emotion that even she can't stop is definitely the "big eruption" of love from ordinary people.
No matter when and where she was, she could always think of fellowship and those peers who were just like the dummies but whom she couldn't bear to hate.
Peers.
This word will make her feel love is as magical as an ax that can split the entire Rocky Mountains. The obsession and resentment in her heart were not accumulated in a day or two, otherwise where would Fong Xuan come from?Where does the anxiety come from?Where does the disgust come from?
She don’t even want to come into contact with it, and feel sick when hear it. So for her to "love" them - and sometimes even want to devote herself to supporting it - is really a miracle bigger than the universe.
She originally thought that she would have ulterior murderous intentions towards her peers throughout her life - she once dreamed that she killed a man who threatened her and wanted to reveal all about her past, and later she dreamed of killing many people like her.
People who were the same age with her.
There were men and women among them, and she used swords and arson. The painful cries of those people in the dream and the thick, rusty smell of blood constantly stimulated her olfactory nerves. And the air after getting up, even if it was so dirty that the news reported that it was a red alert, she still felt very fresh.
At least the smell of burning materials was better than the blood in the world. It also reminded her that she was in reality, not a dream. After getting on the plane, Yu Ruoling temporarily stopped thinking about these things.
While sitting in her seat enjoying the flight meal, she suddenly felt extremely lucky again.
Ever since she entered the church and started attending meetings regularly, she never had these disgusting dreams again. Instead, there is longing, looking forward to the next encounter with them, and the good times imagined in dreams. For example, after waking up, she can't wait to go back to sleep, just hoping to return to those dream again.
Unfortunately, her status among them does not seem to be as important as she imagined. However, Yu Ruoling was a little melancholy but still naively thought that the airplane food was great, the papaya hand cream was great, and the macadamia nuts were also great. Then she gives them wonderful things, and they are happy - even if it is not about herself, but about gifts - then she is also very happy.
Although this relationship seemed quite humble on the surface, she believed that during the incident six years ago, she had broken away from the psychological problem of asking for friendship in a humble way. Regarding fellowship's "love", Yu Ruoling feels that it is more like looking at the children from some weird angles.
...Okay, it seems even weirder. Never mind, she swallowed the last piece of potato gratin. In short, the current situation is better than before, and nothing can be worse than before. She handed the empty lunch box to the stewardess and thanked her.
At least Father God would not let the same thing happen again. Because what she has experienced is what she must experienced, and there is no point in repeating it again. She has already learned what she should learn.
"I'm going to sleep."
She turned to look at her aunt and mother, who had fallen asleep and snored at some point, and said softly.
*
"We are back!!"
"Ah!Sure enough, Taiwan feels more friendly. "Li Qiao touched her flat belly and said, "Should we go for afternoon tea?Anyway, we didn't have time to have lunch."
"Okay!Let's go eat together after collecting our luggage!What do you want to eat?"
"Ling, what do you want to eat?"
"Auntie, what do you want to eat?"
The Yu family has played with this Ubis ring countless times and it is almost worn out, but they still enjoy it.
Every time no matter who encounter "I don't know what to eat", it will definitely go through two or three cycles, and finally the person who asks the question will decide the final decision.
"Hmm... How about eating sushi?Or do you want to go home and eat nearby Italian food?"Yu Xiaoyu said.
Yu Ruoling's hand that she just raised to lift the luggage off the carousel almost slapped someone else's luggage.
Come on. They are at Taoyuan International Airport now. Then her aunt told her and her mother that they wanted to eat Italian food "far away in Kaohsiung"?
The distance between these two cities IS almost 300 kilometers. At an Italian restaurant that still need to take a MRT ride away from home, seriously?
Will starve to death first.
"Not to eat till we return to Kaohsiung?"Li Qiao also looked confused.
"That's right!The one I told you about was super delicious. You have to wait and look forward to it!"Yu Xiaoyu said very matter-of-factly and confidently. She took out her dark green passport with the words "Republic of China" printed on it and prepared to go through customs, "Anyway, go ahead. You can buy something for snacks on the high-speed train.
Well, Xiaoyu made sense. Li Qiao nodded, not noticing the frightened expression on her daughter who was one step behind her.
Yu Ruoling:"...(Wait, wait. Do we still have that many NT dollars?)"
The same is Yu Ruoling:"... (Damn!I forgot that we can withdraw, idiot!)"
