Early in the morning, Zhao Xiaochuan and the three of them found a restaurant for breakfast. This is a restaurant that Zhao Xiaochuan took a lot of effort to find that looks fairly clean.

After breakfast, Zhao Xiaochuan was ready to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage and continue to set off. At the door of the restaurant, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old black boy stood in front of Zhao Xiaochuan and the others.

"Boss, do you need a working man?" Dia looked at Zhao Xiaochuan with hope, and the appearance of Kane and Taylor's bodyguards beside Zhao Xiaochuan made it easy for others to confirm the identity of Zhao Xiaochuan's boss.

In Brava, the Asian and white identities of Zhao Xiaochuan and his entourage are more noticeable, and Dia just happened to see a few people coming out of the restaurant. This teenager, who had never communicated with anyone from abroad, mustered up the courage to step forward. It was a fleeting opportunity, and he had to try it to not regret it.

Zhao Xiaochuan's English level thinks that it is good, but it is obviously useless here, the English pronunciation here is different from the domestic accent, and he speaks very quickly, he didn't understand what the young man in front of him was saying at all.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the young man in front of him, Zhao Xiaochuan thought: This is here to beg? Looking at the young man's dress, although he was dressed shabby, he was similar to the people around him, and he shouldn't have come to beg.

"No, let's go!" Kane didn't translate for Zhao Xiaochuan, and directly waved Dia to leave.

"Please, give me a chance, let me do whatever I want." Dia doesn't give up.

Kane frowned, and reached out to push Dia away, Dia's thin figure was like a mouse in front of a cat in front of the tall Kane.

"Kane, what did he say?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked, and Kane had no choice but to explain.

"He asked the boss if you need a guy who works, I just told him that he doesn't, and he still pestered and refused to leave." After explaining the situation, Kane continued, "There are always black kids who want to try their luck, and the point is that they don't know anything, and black people are generally low. ”

Zhao Xiaochuan automatically ignored Kane's obviously racist words: "What can you do?" ”

Kane translated: "The boss asked what you could do?" ”

Dia hurriedly arrived: "I can be a translator, I can speak English, I know a lot of English words, and I can speak Shona and Ndebele. In addition, I can do other physical tasks, carry things and luggage, as long as the boss tells me, I can do anything. I'm also good at learning, and I'll learn to do all sorts of things very quickly. I asked for a very low salary, two dollars a day, no, no, no, no money, just take care of the food. ”

Dia said so much, and the basic content is: he won't do anything, and the advantage is that the salary demanded is low. The problem is that Zhao Xiaochuan doesn't have much to work on.

After translating, Kane also said to Zhao Xiaochuan: "Boss, there are too many such people in Africa, we don't need them." Don't look at him as only fifteen or sixteen years old, once a war breaks out, these people can pick up guns and go to war. Kane hinted that Dia was someone who had the ability to cause danger.

Zhao Xiaochuan heard some of Kane's prejudice and discrimination against black people, not only him, but also the vast majority of white people, Zhao Xiaochuan ignored this aspect, in his heart, there is no difference between yellow people, white people, and black people.

From Dia's eyes, Zhao Xiaochuan saw hope, courage and tenacity.

Zhao Xiaochuan asked, "Whatisyourname?" (What's your name?) He said this sentence in English, very slowly, to ensure that the teenager in front of him could understand his Chinese English pronunciation.

"Dia."

"Dia, we're leaving Brava City soon, would you like to leave here somewhere else?"

Dia only hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision: "I'm willing to leave here, but I have to talk to my family before leaving." ”

"Then we'll wait for you here, just wait for you for two hours, and we'll leave if you don't come in two hours." Zhao Xiaochuan also gave Dia fifty dollars, "Giving this to your family is considered to take away the compensation you gave them." ”

Dia originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the situation at home, she still reached out and took the money: "Thank you boss, thank you boss!" Dia ran all the way home, and Zhao Xiaochuan and others sat in the car and waited for him. Originally, Zhao Xiaochuan and the others had already packed their luggage and put it in the car, and after breakfast, they were ready to leave for Harare.

Kane didn't understand why Zhao Xiaochuan brought Dia because of kindness? This is the kind of thing that people who do business in Africa need and should not have. Now that Zhao Xiaochuan has made a decision, Kane won't say anything, but he still can't help asking: "Boss, aren't you afraid that he won't come after taking the money?" Fifty dollars was not a small amount for him, enough for him to live a dashing life for a few days. ”

Zhao Xiaochuan said meaningfully: "I hope he won't come back after taking the money." This can be regarded as a test for Dia, and if Dia really doesn't take the money, Zhao Xiaochuan will be more trouble-free.

Dia ran all the way home to explain the situation to her parents, but his parents did not agree.

Dia's mother said: "Dia, you can't leave, you need to take care of your younger siblings at home. Fifteen-year-old Dia is already a laborer at home, and when her parents need to work in the fields, she needs him to take care of her younger siblings.

Dia's father was more open-minded, but he was worried about Dia's safety: "It's not safe for you to go out at your age, those outsiders are not necessarily good people, maybe they are smugglers or arms dealers, you can't be with those people." ”

"No, I have a gut feeling that they're not bad people." Although he felt that Zhao Xiaochuan's two bodyguards were not like good people, Dia's intuition told him that Zhao Xiaochuan was a kind person, "That boss gave me fifty dollars, and the bad guy will definitely not give me money." ”

"What? Fifty dollars? Dia's father exclaimed, "Give it back to someone else, haven't I always taught you that even if you are poor, you can't take other people's money?" ”

Dia explained: "The boss said it was to take me away as compensation for the family, and Dad, I will pay back the fifty dollars to the boss when I make money, but you have to let me out, this is my chance to change our family, and probably the only chance." ”

Dia's mother still disagreed: "Isn't it very good to farm at home, you can't do anything when you go out, maybe it's just hard labor, building a house and moving bricks." ”

Dia's father was silent, thinking about things. Eventually, he nodded, "Okay, you go." Take the money back and give it back to someone else, we can't take the money. ”

"Thank you, Dad." Dia put the money on the shabby small table at home and ran outside.

Dia's father looked at Dia's back, then at the fifty dollars on the table, tears rolling in his eyes.

Two hours were approaching, and just when Kane thought Dia must have taken the money and ran away, Dia returned. The reason why Dia spent two hours was that in addition to being far away from home, he also went to his good friend Barcelona's house.

Let the panting Dia get in the car, and the group went straight to Harare. On the way, in a conversation with Dia, Zhao Xiaochuan gradually got to know him, including his family situation.

Dia did not face strangers' introversion or cowering at all, but communicated with Zhao Xiaochuan very generously, which made Zhao Xiaochuan appreciate it very much.

Brava City is not far from Harare, but because of the bad road conditions, the car walked for two hours, and it was only half the way.
