A British cruise ship named Granuoqu is sailing in the vast Pacific Ocean. It goes straight from Hong Kong to Honolulu, and the voyage takes 2 days and nights. 12-year-old Sun Wen, following his grandmother, crossed the ocean by boat for the first time, realizing his long-cherished wish. He can't be idle on the mail boat, running here and looking there. The rumbling computer room and the huge steel beam frame attracted him. Sometimes he climbed to the top floor with the railing, watching the smoky chimney trance, and sometimes he was excited at the seagull-flying sea: "Ah! There are so many new things! What a big world! " This curious teenager became familiar with many passengers and sailors on board in just two days, and benefited a lot from contact and conversation with them. Because Sun Wen is good at communication, although he has lived on a mail ship for more than 2 days, he doesn't feel that time is too long. The ship is sailing in the ocean. On this day, flocks of seagulls appeared on the sea. They were singing and flying, which was very lively. Sun Wen listened to the sailor and said, "The appearance of seagulls proves that we are approaching land." Many people crowded onto the deck to look forward. Sun Wen was sharp-eyed and shouted excitedly, "Honolulu, I see it!" A piece of land gradually appeared in front of the ship, and the church spire and large Woods could be seen on the horizon. Grandma hugged Sun Wen happily and said, "We're in Honolulu. We'll see your brother soon!" The Granuoqu slowed down and gradually approached the dock. Grandma and Sun Wen followed the passengers to the boat, looking for relatives who came to meet them on the shore. The dock is very lively, and people wearing different clothes are crowded with the whole dock. Sun Mei also crowded in the crowd to greet the passengers, looking for grandma and brother who had never been out of town. "Brother!" Sun Wen jumped onto the springboard first and pounced on Sun Mei. Sun Mei also grabbed two steps and lifted Sun Wen affectionately. The next day, Sun Mei accompanied her grandmother and her younger brother, visited the streets and scenery on the island, and saw the novel scenery on the exotic land. There are local aborigines, white and black immigrants here, and most of them are China people with long braids behind their heads. Languages and dialogues are also varied, including Chinese, English, and Kai Nai Kai spoken by local people who don't understand. One day, Sun Mei took Adi to visit the beach. Ah Wen looked at the palm grove behind him and the waves in front of him. He was having a good time. Brother pulled him onto the reef and sat down. He tried to ask, "Brother, grandma misses her hometown. She wants to go back. I'm short of hands now, so stay and help me take care of the store!" "hey!" Sun Wen accepted with pleasure. In order to manage the store affairs well, Sun Wen studied at Panluohe School for several months, and actually learned the abacus and bookkeeping methods, and also wrote a good hand. In the contact with the indigenous people, I also learned the Kai Nai Kai language in the usual dialogue. Sun Mei saw that his younger brother had made great progress, and he was very diligent and studious in the shop. Every time he came to the shop, he should praise and encourage him. Once Sun Mei was encouraging Sun Wenshi, Sun Wen got impatient. He pestered Sun Mei and said, "You'd better send me to school! I do not want to do business. " "Ah di, you see how busy I am! There are too few people, and you are still young. Help me manage the store and learn some business. After two years, I can give you some money. You can run a farm, open a shop and make a fortune. What's wrong? " "I don't want to be a boss, I don't want to get rich!" Sun Wen stubbornly said, "I want to study and save the country and the people!" "Ha ha, doing business with money can also save the country and the people. If you insist on reading, then study hard! " "Brother, there are too many new things here. You can't do it without learning!" Sun Mei said with a smile: "You have learned a lot in less than a year, but it is too difficult to go to school without knowing English!" Sun Wen said, "I find that English is easier to learn than Chinese. I will learn English soon." /mrgs/ There are many nets. Find what you want! !
