Chapter 476: Who will arrive first, us or Dad?
Inside the airplane, both Maria and Owen were tired, but they couldn't sleep at the same time. Someone had to look after the children.
Despite the presence of four flight attendants, they still weren't completely at ease, so they discussed taking turns to sleep.
Maria suggested that Owen should sleep first, while she took a magazine and occasionally observed the children.
At that moment, the six little girls were chatting away as if no one else was around.
Thirdie asked her sisters, "Do you think our airplane flies faster or Dad's helicopter?"
Eldie thought for a moment and quickly replied, "An airplane is a fixed-wing aircraft, while a helicopter is a rotorcraft. The speed of a fixed-wing aircraft is around 800 kilometers per hour, while a helicopter's speed is about 300 kilometers per hour. So, of course, our airplane is faster than Dad's helicopter."
Secondie chimed in, "In terms of flight speed, our airplane is definitely faster than Dad's. But when it comes to takeoff and landing conditions, Dad's helicopter has the advantage because it doesn't need a runway. It can take off anytime and land anywhere.
But our airplane needs a fixed runway and a fixed route. Even if we arrive at Country M before Dad, we'll just end up at the airport. We still need to transfer to The Donald Hotel in Chinatown. If we waste a few hours, we might reach our destination at the same time as Dad."
When the six little girls heard this, they became a little worried.
Fifthie said, "If Dad arrives at The Donald Hotel before us, Mommy might be taken away by him. Wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
"Yeah, in that case, we would have wasted 380,000!"
The four flight attendants overheard this conversation and couldn't help but smile. They found it both amusing and unbelievable that these six children were like prodigies, speaking like adults and analyzing everything so properly.
Maria heard the conversation among the six little girls and immediately reassured them.
"Don't worry, you guys. Your Mommy isn't at The Donald Hotel right now. Even if your Dad goes there, he won't be able to find her."
"Then where did Mommy go?" the six little girls asked in unison.
"Shh!" Maria smiled mischievously and gestured for them to be quiet. "I'll tell you after we get off the plane. For now, take this opportunity to get some rest and recharge your energy. We have work to do later."
"Okay, let's listen to Maria and get some sleep to recharge!"
The six little girls obediently closed their eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In Country M, in the morning.
Around 8 o'clock, Ivy woke up and as soon as she opened her phone, she saw a message from Maria that was sent over two hours ago.
"I have boarded the plane."
Those were the only words, with no further explanation.
Ivy quickly replied: "Where are you now?"
After sending the message, Ivy realized that Maria was on a plane. How could she expect an immediate response?
She slapped her forehead and got up to get ready.
While brushing her teeth, Cici eagerly approached with her cane.
"Ivy, what would you like to eat today? Grandma has someone going to buy it for you!"
Ivy bit her toothbrush and replied, "I'll let you know later."
After thinking for a while, Ivy said, "Why don't you buy ten chickens and ten fish?"
"How much?" Cici was a bit surprised, thinking she might have misheard, "Did you say ten chickens and ten fish? Can't we just have one chicken and one fish?"
How can one chicken and one fish be enough?
Ivy quickly rinsed her mouth and came up with an excuse, "Since it's almost New Year, I want to pickle some salted fish and chicken. It would be great to also get twenty pounds of pork and make some sausages..."
"Hahaha..." Cici burst into laughter, "If you want to eat salted fish, chicken, and sausages, just say so. I can have someone buy them for you already-made. It's too early to prepare for the Lunar New Year, it's only September, and students have just started school. It's way too early for New Year's preparations!"
You're right!
Ivy felt a bit embarrassed.
However, she had a strange appetite now and didn't feel like eating cooked food. She just wanted to eat raw food!
What should she do?
After thinking for a while, she coquettishly said, "Grandma, the pre-packaged food outside is not sanitary. I've always liked making my own food. Could you buy the ingredients and let me make it myself, please?"
