Chapter 0331: The Tin House on the Rooftop
"Why not expose those hateful tobacco merchants?" Li Jiaxin said curiously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because of the interests, tobacco is a large profit every year, in the face of huge interests the country is difficult to ignore, and people need it to relieve mental pressure, of course, many smart people know its harm, so the United States Congress passed the "Cigarette Trademark Advertising Act" in 1965, mandatory cigarette packaging must be written on the "smoking is harmful to health" warning. So most Americans decided to stop smoking. Lin Jianqi patiently explained.
"Then why do you carry a lighter with you?" Li Jiaxin admired Lin Jianqi's erudition in her heart, and asked curiously.
"Tinder and knives are a must-have for a man's home trip." Lin Jianqi replied with a smile.
"I see! Oh, am I heavy? Li Jiaxin asked again.
Lin Jianqi carried Li Jiaxin up on his back, chatting as he walked, and when he saw that he had reached the top floor, he said with a smile: "We are here, your family lives on the top floor?" ”
"......" Li Jiaxin did not say anything.
Lin Jianqi went to the platform on the top floor unexpectedly, and just wanted to put down Li Jiaxin, but heard Li Jiaxin whisper: "My family...... Live on the rooftop! ”
Lin Jianqi's heart moved, as if he remembered something, and carried Li Jiaxin to the roof of the building on his back.
"Who's there? Is it Ah Xin, speak quickly! Li Jiaxin's sister Li Jiaming held an extended flashlight and shouted vigilantly.
"Sister, it's me!" Worried that her sister would misunderstand, Li Jiaxin jumped down, held Lin Jianqi's back and stood on one foot and shouted.
"Who is this? Ah Xin, did you bring someone to the house? Li Jiaming walked over curiously.
"Hello, I'm Lin Jianqi, and you're Ah Xin's sister Jia Ming! I heard Ah Xin talk about you just now! Lin Jianqi said with a smile.
"Lin Jianqi? Which Lin Jianqi? Your name is very loud......" Li Jiaming was stunned when he approached and saw Lin Jianqi's appearance, and then ran back to the tin house like a gust of wind that made Lin Jianqi confused, and slammed the dilapidated tin wooden door shut.
"What's wrong with her, do I look scary?" Lin Jianqi looked down at his trouser chain, didn't find anything wrong, and looked at Li Jiaxin inexplicably.
"You are the idol of the eldest sister, she has collected many of your newspapers, she is embarrassed to see you!" Li Jiaxin glanced at the tin house where her family lived, and the more she said with low self-esteem, the quieter her voice became.
The relationship between Li Jiaxin's parents was not good, in her memory, there were no toys in her childhood, no new clothes, only her mother's tears and her parents' endless quarrels, until she saw her father come home less and less, and there was no such father in her life. Li Jiaxin and her mother and sister began a life of dependence on each other.
After Li Jiaxin's father left, the life of the mother and daughter can be imagined. Today's Hong Kong is not as developed as it was in later generations, and the lives of the poor are even tighter.
Li Jiaxin's family moved to a tin house built on the rooftop, which can be seen in many Hong Kong movies, and it is a little bleak.
"Don't be like this, I've also been down-and-out, people are three poor and three rich to live to old age, don't associate with people who look down on you, because that kind of person is not worth befriending, so you don't need to care about their eyes!" Lin Jianqi said indifferently.
The light bulb in the tin house suddenly lit up, the door was pushed open, and he changed into a new dress, and Li Jiaming, who had been carefully dressed, had powder on his face, and looked at Lin Jianqi shyly and timidly, and Lin Jianqi couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at him with cramped and uneasy eyes.
"Amin, don't look at me like that, or you'll scare me away!" Lin Jianqi said with a smile.
"Yes, Lin Sheng, you sit down first, I'll pour you water! ......" As soon as Li Jiaming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the kerosene stove at home had not been repaired, and looked at Lin Jianqi with some embarrassment.
Li Jiaxin held on to the wall platform on the roof of the building without saying a word, watching Lin Jianqi talk to her sister Li Jiaming, she had not told her sister Jiaming about getting Lin Jianqi's golden pen, and she was a little worried that Lin Jianqi would say something wrong, the reason why she didn't tell her sister Jiaming was mainly because she was worried that her sister, who admired Lin Jianqi, would ask her for a golden pen, and she didn't know how to refuse.
"I'm not thirsty, don't be busy, sit down and say a few words to you and I'll leave, there's still a lot to be busy!" Lin Jianqi waved his hand and sat down by himself.
"You guys sit down too, Ah Xin's foot twisted when he went upstairs, is it better now? Do I need to accompany you to the hospital for a visit? Lin Jianqi looked at Ma Zha next to him, and asked Li Jiaxin with concern after being polite.
"It's okay, it'll be fine with a rest!" Li Jiaxin hurriedly shook her head.
"Is Auntie resting?" Lin Jianqi saw that Mother Li hadn't appeared for so long, and asked with some surprise.
"Mom is still working, she won't be back until later!" Li Jiaming explained with a familiar smile.
"You have a good temperament, you have to be cheerful, Ah Xin is a little introverted, which is not conducive to your growth!" Lin Jianqi praised Li Jiaming and smiled at Li Jiaxin.
"She, Ah Xin is not introverted, at most she is a little wooden, she likes to be in a daze when she has something on her mind, and she usually loves to laugh!" Li Jiaming directly lifted his sister's old bottom.
"Sister, why are you like this?" Li Jiaxin looked at her sister Li Jiaming and said dissatisfied.
"Amin, you and your mother live here, how is the security nearby?" Lin Jianqi asked casually.
"Of course it's not good, who will live here if you have money, it's hard to make money now, and public rental housing in Hong Kong is ......expensive," Li Jiaming complained.
"There may be another typhoon this year, you iron ...... It's too dangerous for you to live on the rooftop, so my friend has a house nearby, and he asked me to take care of him when he immigrated to Australia, how about you move in and help me look after the house, and give you a monthly salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars? ”
Lin Jianqi thought about it, he didn't have any intentions for the two girls, but he was a little curious about Li Jiaxin, the future rich killer, and now Lin Jianqi is used to seeing beautiful women, and his mind of hunting for beauty is getting weaker and weaker, but he is indeed a little interested in Li Jiaxin.
"Looking at the house? Pay the salary back?! Li Jiaming and Li Jiaxin, two sisters, looked at each other in disbelief, there would be such a good thing in the world?
"Yes, someone has to take care of the house, otherwise the rain will soak the floor, or the thieves will lose something, and the house must be cleaned frequently, so I have to ask someone to look at the house, I'm looking for it these days, some people can't believe it, and people who can trust it don't have time to do this!" Lin Jianqi said as if he was helpless.
Li Jiaxin's two sisters were a little tempted, but thinking that their mother had not come back yet, they felt that it would be appropriate to wait for their mother to come back and decide.
