[421] Revolutionary predecessors
Probably worried that I would be bumped into by Aunt Ren who went home early, Xiaoqin reluctantly carried canned food and nutritional products into the unit door, and before leaving, she also told me to keep in touch with her, and she could call her whenever she wanted.
I told Xiaoqin not to make Aunt Ren angry, Xiaoqin was a little surprised that I suddenly cared so much about her mother, but I didn't think too much, I just thought I was currying favor with my future mother-in-law.
I don't know if it's my mother-in-law, but it's likely to be my stepmother! Such a stepmother who knows martial arts, if she doesn't please now, she will have a hard time in the future! Snow White's stepmother also found a hunter to kill Snow White, but my stepmother saved trouble and did it herself! A single kick with a broken bone can make my living room bleed!
After separating from Xiaoqin, I went to the outside of the shoe repair shop in the vegetable market alone, and found that the sliding door was still closed, but the scolding inside had stopped, and the small mobile TV was playing a discussion program about the national football team's loss.
I was standing outside the door and was about to knock on the door, but I heard the sound of two people talking inside, one was naturally an uncle shoemaker, and the other was a younger man, talking in an official tone, like a government worker.
Their voices were basically the same as the volume of the TV, and they could only be heard clearly when they stood at my distance, and the aunt who sold fruit nearby looked at me with disdain, and I pointed to the watermelon on her stall, indicating that I would buy one later, and she smiled and ignored me.
After buying Aunt Fruit, I simply put my ear to the sliding door of the shoe repair shop, and I couldn't stop being curious about the conversation between a former intelligence agent and a government worker.
Uncle Shoemaker was the first to speak, and even through the door, the breath of the old indignation came to his face, and unexpectedly there was grief in his anger.
"The country has disappointed me so much! My comrades who died in Yugoslavia did not avenge them for so long! β
"You have to calm down, it's not time to ...... yet"
The tone of the government functionary's reply was similar to that of Wang Yongping, spokesman of the Ministry of Railways, who said, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
"I've waited enough! I'm going to do it my way! β
"Comrade Hulai!" The government worker was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I advise you not to go too far!" Your behavior is not unknown to the country, we can catch you at any time! It's just that considering your contribution to the country, that's why I let you go, and you keep doing this, which is very detrimental to the country's general policy! β
Uncle Shoemaker, whose name is Hu Lai, snorted, "China doesn't dare to provoke US imperialism, isn't there any other country on Shijie that dares to provoke?" For example, Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea......"
"Hulai! You can't be so nonsense! How much information did you steal from the U.S. Embassy and give it to anti-American countries? If you want to give, you should also give information to your motherland! β
"I'm sorry, I'm no longer in the government department, collecting intelligence is my hobby, and it's my freedom to give information to whomever I want."
"Okay, okay, just don't forget who gave you your freedom! Anyway, in your current situation, there is no effective channel for delivering intelligence to anti-American countries, even if North Korea is close at hand, if you give them information in vain, they will not believe it! β
"Not necessarily!" Uncle Shoemaker sneered, "I'm almost piecing together the deployment of nuclear weapons by the U.S. military in South Korea, as long as the North Korean military comes to me to take a look at the thatched house, I will give them the information!" β
"Don't dream!" The government worker slapped the table where the sewing machine was placed hard, "You are just a shoe repairer now, and the North Korean military weishenme will come to you?" I advise you to hand over the information to the state, so that I will guarantee that your frozen pension will be paid on time, and you will be paid two levels of salary! β
"No need," said the shoemaker uncle coldly, "I can support myself by repairing my shoes, and I will give information to whoever can avenge my sacrificed comrades." Director Jiang, please go back, I still have to scold the national football team with the TV show! β
I hurriedly retreated, making it look like I had just come from a distance, and sure enough, the door opened, and I touched the gray Director Jiang, patted the dust on the suit, shook my head and sighed and walked out.
Seeing me closely, his eyes lit up, probably thinking that with my appearance was not a good type, maybe it was a spy sent by North Korea, I was not afraid of the shadow, and looked at his gaze for a while, and he walked away knowing that he was bored.
"Two pieces of watermelon and five pounds." Aunt Fruit hurriedly introduced me to it.
"I'll buy it when I'm out," I waved and stepped into the shoe repair shop, "Don't worry, I won't be able to run!" β
Carrying the little Maza, the shoemaker uncle who was about to sit back in front of the TV, was full of the loneliness of a master like Ximen blowing snow.
After all, it was illegal to buy a bug, and when I entered, I immediately closed the sliding door and pushed the lock on.
"I'm not in the mood for business right now." The shoemaker snorted.
Approaching the shoemaker lightly, I looked like Jiashi had come to buy drugs, and I lowered my voice to the shoemaker's ear and said:
"Uncle...... It's celery...... Ren Xiaoqin, who lives upstairs, introduced me...... I want to buy a bug...... Is it in stock? β
The shoemaker froze, then turned up the sound of the TV to drown out the conversation between the two of us.
"Who is Ren Xiaoqin's mother?" The shoemaker was going to test me.
I smiled and said, "Ms. Ren Hongli! Former shijie champion of women's sanda, now full-time martial arts instructor, participated in movies such as "Badao", "Bone Breaking Town", "Demon Dragon Descends to Earth", "Chu Liuxiang's Blood Sea Wild Sand", "Tang Bohu vs. Chu Liuxiang" ......"
"Enough is enough," the shoemaker waved his hand and said another question, "Who is Ren Xiaoqin's father?" β
"This ......," I frowned, "I only know his surname is Huo ......"
"Don't know? It's okay if you don't know! The shoemaker tugged at the black and white motled beard on his chin, "It seems that you are Ye Lin, Xiaoqin's boyfriend, right?" β
"Huh? How do you know? "I admired Comrade Hulai's intelligence analysis ability so much that he was able to analyze who I am and what my name is through the above two questions!
"Uncle, how did you analyze it, can you teach me?" I humbly ask for advice.
The shoemaker shook his head, "I didn't analyze it, when Xiaoqin came to me, she showed me your photo, which she took with her mobile phone." β
I rub what test questions do you know? Is it fun to tease the younger generations!
After all, there is a request for others, so I said with a shy face: "Senior...... Revolutionary predecessors! Can you sell me a good bugging device? For short-distance eavesdropping, it's just across the room! β
The shoemaker asked me like a customs inspector: "Do you have any relatives in Cuba?" β
"Nope!" I wondered, "Does buying a bugging have anything to do with relatives in Cuba?" β
The shoemaker continued: "Do you know anyone from the Venezuela, Iranian, or North Korean military?" β
I shook my head like a drum.
"It's a pity!" The shoemaker sighed, "Why are so many people coming and going, and there is no one who can help me deliver the information!" β
It turned out that the information was uncomfortable in his hands, and he wanted to find a channel to make a move? But even if you ask someone when you meet them, the chances of meeting someone are too low! You're just here to fix your shoes!
"Who did you buy a bugging device for?" The shoemaker asked, "If it was eavesdropping on Celery, I wouldn't sell it to you!" β
Huh? If Xiaoqin eavesdrops on me, you will sell it, right? What an angry uncle!
But I still laughed and said brazenly:
"I bought this bugging device for a very noble purpose! I'm listening to spies sent by US imperialism! β
Ai Shuqiao is now an American in terms of nationality, and it is not too outrageous to say that Su Qiao is a spy of the Americans.
The shoemaker was immediately interested, "Really? I thought that your generation had fallen for the sugar-coated shells of US imperialism, but I didn't expect that there would be patriotic young people like you! In that case, this bugging device doesn't cost money, I'll give it to you! β
As he spoke, he took out a small black box about 2 centimeters long and 1 centimeter high, like a miniature matchbox, from the shoe cabinet. Buckle open the back cover and see a battery slot for a lithium coin cell battery.
"For a request like yours, this 'Chinese type' is enough, and if it is too complicated, it is easy to show its feet. By the way, there's also this little receiver, you take it too, plug in the headphones, and it's pretty much the same as a radio. Because of the close listening distance, the battery of the bugging device can be ...... as long as it is replaced every half a month."
Su Qiao has only lived in my house for half a month, and it is estimated that she will not need to change the battery when she leaves.
I carefully put the bugging and receiver in my bag and asked Uncle Shoemaker, "How much should I pay?" β
The shoemaker's face was full of displeasure: "Didn't I say that I wouldn't take money?" As long as you are an enemy of the Americans, you are my friend! You remember to disgust the Americans for me! β
I have a black line on my face, although I am not a cent party, but my own sister is an American, and in your eyes at least it can be regarded as a foreign country, and it is really deserving to give me a set of eavesdropping equipment for free.
So I went to the fruit seller aunt in the vegetable market to buy a watermelon and gave it to the shoemaker uncle to quench his thirst, he was going to shirk it, I said that it was inconvenient to take the subway with the watermelon, so he accepted it.
Walking out of the market with a bug in my bag, I suddenly remembered that I probably wouldn't be able to take the subway home today.
If you want to ask Weishenme, it's because you need to go through the security check when you take the subway! No matter how you say that the bugger is an illegal device, if it is found out, isn't it a cocoon!
So I changed my mind and went to take the bus.
It is more troublesome to take the bus back to my house from Xiaoqin's house, and I need to reverse the car halfway, but fortunately, the two buses are not too crowded, and I also got a seat on the second bus, and I sat on the wide seat of the row of zuihou with my schoolbag, just waiting for another five stops, and I can get off and go home.
The phone suddenly vibrated in his trouser pocket.
I thought it was Xiaoqin calling, but when I took it out and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Do you know who I am?"
A person who was supposed to be a schoolgirl said the above words in a not very polite tone.
"I don't know, who are you? Selling insurance? β
"Give me daoqian first."
"Huh? I don't even know who you are, why do you come up and ask me daoqian? β
"Anyway, you just have to give me daoqian, and also, you have to invite me to dinner, it's not ordinary, at least it has to be Western food."
"Hey, hey, hey, kick your nose in the face! At least tell us who you are, right? β
"I'm He Ling." The other party finally gave his name.
"Ah...... Who did you think it was, it turned out to be Uncle He's daughter He Ling......"
"It's not big or small, call me Sister He Ling!" She was quite unhappy.
"Okay, for Uncle He's sake, He Ling...... Sister, why should I invite you to Western food? β
βweishenmeοΌβ He Ling chuckled on the phone, "The woman who came to the taekwondo gym last time and was named Ren Hongli didn't claim to be your mother-in-law?" β
Aunt Ren did say at the taekwondo gym that I was her son-in-law, which is really embarrassing in retrospect.
"Hmph, Ye Lin, did your mother-in-law mention to you that her silver necklace was lost somewhere?"
I immediately became alert, "You mean, Aunt Ren's silver necklace was lost in the taekwondo gym and then picked up by you?" β
He Ling was noncommittal on the other side of the phone.
I was a little angry, "Although that silver necklace is not valuable, it is a relic of Aunt Ren's mother, since you have picked it up, weishenme didn't inform us earlier?" β
He Ling said with a slight annoyance: "I didn't pick it up, it was other male students who picked it up, thinking I lost it, so they brought it to me." The price of silver is now less than 4 yuan a gram, and this necklace doesn't look like an antique, how do I know that you are so treasured? β
Thinking about it carefully, I have no reason to be angry with He Ling, so I changed my tone to a more gentle tone:
He Ling...... Sister, that necklace Aunt Ren really values it, you take care of it, don't lose it again, I will definitely invite you to dinner, I will definitely invite you to Western food! What day is it convenient for you? β
He Ling, who had achieved his goal, snorted proudly, "At eight o'clock on Friday night, let's meet at the Petersburg Western Restaurant on the Walking Street!" You'll need to book your seat in advance! When the time comes, let me stand there and line up, don't say I won't give you back the necklace! β
"A Russian restaurant?" I casually asked, "Are you used to the flavors there?" I've heard that the food is a bit rough, but I like it more than that......"
"You don't care if I'm not used to it, I just want to taste something fresh?" He Ling seemed to be playing with some small key, making a jingling sound, "There are many foreigners who go to Petersburg Western restaurants, I heard that even the proprietress is a foreigner, isn't it very emotional?" You know how to eat! That's right! Don't forget to ask me daoqian at the dinner table! β
"What apologies?" I'm playing dumb.
"Yes, of course...... You've humiliated me in the ring! He Ling said hatefully, "Not only did you make me lose so badly, but you also ...... I also ripped off my practice clothes and ate my tofu, if it weren't for Uncle Ye's face, I wouldn't have spared you so easily! β
