Chapter 197: Change

In a materially poor area like Iraq, what can you do to independently package the mailed package without alarming others, and to preserve the integrity of the item?

The simplest, most economical and most direct way is only three words: all-purpose glue

Fix the opening and closing of the car with all-purpose glue, and then hand it over to the courier for outer packaging, and then mail this thing home through the military mail system. As for the middle of the mail...... The U.S. military has no tradition of dismantling soldiers' personal mailing items.

What if the package is scattered in the middle of the way, and the US military discovers the items hidden in the package -- private property is sacrosanct, even if the US military finds money hidden in the car, this is An Feng's personal trophy, and the US military must carefully repack the package. And prove that you absolutely did not touch the contents of the package. Of course, in this way, the news that the package contains a large amount of change will inevitably leak out, and some people may associate it with "bribe money".

But no matter what others think, this money is still An Feng's after all, and the US military does not have a tradition of "confiscating personal legal labor income". This is An Feng's spoils, and no one can take them.

There is no doubt about that.

Luckily, An Feng's package was delivered safely to his home. Unfortunately, there is a fatal flaw in the sticking of all-purpose glue, which is brittle, afraid of vibration and shaking.

Han Zhiyan sat on the hood, holding the teacup and immersed in memories, she unconsciously shook her body with the teacup, and she shook it for more than ten minutes in an unconscious state, this continuous, rhythmic shaking made the glue glued area brittle, and when Han Zhiyan jumped off the hood, the pressure suddenly released made the hood rebound, and the glue in the glued area broke, so the sesame opened the door and Alibaba's cave opened.

At first, the gap that bounced up was not enough ⊥ Han Zhiyan saw the whole truth, Han Zhiyan searched around and found a pair of scissors, she inserted the scissor blade into the gap, and wanted to pry open the entire hood, but she didn't expect that the sturdiness of the hood was far more than the scissor blade, the scissor blade was bent, and the bulletproof steel plate was still not pried.

When she was prying the hood, Han Zhiyan suddenly touched something, she touched it completely along the gap in the hood, and found that every other distance, there was always something filling in the gap, and where it bounced just now, there was also this kind of thing, but it was broken. This thing feels a little pliable to the touch, and it seems to be a little transparent when viewed from the side......

Han Zhiyan thought about it, she found a bottle of engine oil from the barn, dripped the oil on the glue, and after a while, she stroked it again, the glue had become very soft, and she could rub it off with her hands.

A circle of engine oil dripped along the gap in the hood, and after waiting for a while, Han Zhiyan finally wiped all the glue clean, but she still couldn't open the hood. Standing in place and thinking for a moment, she returned to the car door, looked at the car door carefully, and found that the car door was still stained with that transparent object, so Han Zhiyan continued to pour the engine oil into the crack of the car door.

Three minutes later, the door opened. The car keys are in the glove compartment inside the car.

Standing next to the car, Han Zhiyan reached out and mechanically unlocked the hood door, and then walked over and lifted the hood...... She was stunned.

There is no engine in the hood, no water tank, no battery pack, no air filter.

The entire hood of the machine was completely emptied, and the place where the machine was originally placed was filled with kraft paper bags, which were fixed with tape, and the edge of the hood, perhaps to fill the gap, and to fix the kraft paper bags, were randomly stuffed with stacks of different amounts of change wrapped in plastic wrap, these change notes were not large, five dollars a dollar, ten dollars, occasionally twenty dollars, but not much.

The first thought that popped up in Han Zhiyan's mind was: hurry up and close the barn door.

When the barn door was closed, Han Zhiyan's hands trembled, she leaned on the closed door weakly, it was strange that her first thought was not to report, not to clear her relationship, but not to consider what was in the brown paper bag?

Fill the gaps with small change, so extravagant...... Wasteful habits. What industry does this habit come from? What's in the kraft bag? Drugs? Illegal drugs? Still is...... Other contraband?

Han Zhiyan trembled for a long time, only then did she come back to her senses, and when she calmed down, she didn't even think of "reporting" or something, of course, this year slipped in her heart, but she quickly put it aside. All she wanted now was to protect

Maybe An Feng was taken advantage of, maybe he didn't know he was being used now, I want to ...... Hide things.

If it's destroyed, it's okay, the drug dealers are very cruel, and if they come to look for it and can't get it out, they will kill people......

Han Zhiyan lowered her head and saw the discarded scissors on the ground. One side of the scissors has been bent, but that's okay, it can still cut through the tape.

She leaned over to pick up the scissors, walked back to the hood, took a deep breath, cut the tape with the intact scissor blades, pulled out a brown paper bag, and then trembled through the kraft paper wrapper with the scissors, revealing the ...... inside Greenback.

This doesn't prove anything.

Han Zhiyan made persistent efforts and cut several kraft paper bags in a row, and then, she finally believed it - all the kraft paper bags were filled with US dollar bills An Feng's goods this time, which were change.

He hooked up with counterfeit banknote dealers, and he actually got into the job of transporting counterfeit money, oh my God.

No, you have to ...... Go up in flames?

Han Zhiyan took out her mobile phone tremblingly and dialed An Feng's number. At this point, the phone was not answered.

Han Zhiyan suddenly knelt on the cold ground, and she felt weak and powerless.

I don't know how long it took, Han Zhiyan jumped up, she rushed to the driver's seat, frantically searched in the glove box, and she felt the pistol in the glove box. Immediately tremblingly grabbed the gun, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then tried to recall what An Feng had taught, withdrew the magazine, checked the chamber, and then reloaded the magazine and pushed the bullet onto the load.

Don't say it, with a gun in your hand, your heart is much calmer. With this calmness, Han Zhiyan found that the situation in the car was also a little weird, the back of the passenger seat was a little abnormal, she reached out and groped for it, and touched a few square-shaped objects...... It's still a kraft paper bag, and if you pinch it with your hand, you can still hear the rustle of paper.

Han Zhiyan took out her mobile phone again and began to call An Feng. Countless thoughts were spinning in her mind, and when she saw that the phone had not been answered for a long time, she immediately jumped to the voicemail and spoke fluently into the microphone...... Hakka said: "Hey, I have received the Humvee you sent back, and I put it in the yard as your war memorial, do you think it is good?" ”

It must be said that the environment persecuts people. Han Zhiyan used to be a lazy, unmotivated little woman who just wanted to be pampered and cared for safely. In the past, she thought it was very good that she knew several dialects on domestic flights, but when she arrived at a foreign airline, she had to work hard to develop her language skills. Of course, in foreign airlines, it is not enough to know a few words of domestic dialect, but also to have the ability to speak.

Han Zhiyan admits that she is not working hard enough, and being able to speak foreign languages fluently is already forced by life, and she is not interested in letting her learn more foreign languages, so she focuses on the domestic dialect. She used to have a foundation in Cantonese, and with the help of the foundation of Cantonese, she learned some difficult Hunan dialects and Fujian dialects.

An Feng is a genius in language, when Han Zhiyan learned Hakka, An Feng only listened to a few voices and began to talk to Han Zhiyan, Han Zhiyan barely learned this language in the practice with An Feng...... Well, An Feng is a genius in language, he not only understands several dialects, but also understands the languages of many countries, Han Zhiyan believes that An Feng can understand the voice he left.

I remember that when practicing Hakka, An Feng suddenly talked about the movie "Wind Whisperer", and he joked at that time: The more difficult and difficult the language, the more it can be used as a password and code language...... Well, An Feng is not only a genius in language, Han Zhiyan admitted: An Feng far surpasses her in IQ, this is the person she always feels weak and needs protection in front of An Feng. Although An Feng is far younger than her.

Sure enough, An Feng quickly understood what she meant. After a while, the voice message came, still in Hakka.

"It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now, the package I sent back......" An Feng paused here obviously, and continued: "That car is no longer usable, you find a place to store it, and I will deal with it when I go back...... Okay, I'm fine here, I'll be able to go back soon, take care of yourself. ”

The point of this sentence is: find a place to store it and wait for me to go back and deal with it.

Han Zhiyan quickly replied to the message: "I understand, don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”

The point of this sentence is: I understand, I will take care of some change).

Hanging up the phone, Han Zhiyan heard the faint voice of the courtyard calling, and she regretted a little, how could people see the Humvee, because the sound was approaching the barn. In a hurry, Han Zhi tobaccograss cleaned up the ground, stuffed the disassembled change back into place, and then returned the hood to its original position in a panic, she stroked her hair, caught a glimpse of the teacup thrown aside from the corner of her eye, immediately picked up the teacup, made a ladylike look again, and pretended to be leisurely with the teacup and greeted it leisurely.

But the two people on the other side didn't think Han Zhiyan was a lady, Xia Xinran laughed with wide eyes, and blurted out: "Sister Han, your face is full of engine oil." What's the matter, are you repairing a car? ”

Cart? Han Zhiyan was very sensitive to this word now, and she hurriedly turned around and locked the barn. Then he smiled at the other party, and asked reluctantly: "What, you have something to do with me?" ”

Xia Xinran glanced at the barn strangely, and then put a smile on her face again: "Sister Han, I'm leaving, thank you for your lunch, are you still satisfied with my work?" ”

"Satisfied, very satisfied", Han Zhiyan was a little flustered.

"Okay, please sign it", Xia Xinran handed over the form in his hand.

This is a worksheet, what Xia Xinran has done, directly tick on it, and then mark the total working hours

After Han Zhiyan finished signing, Xia Xinran put away the form and thanked her, and then said, "I'll come tomorrow night, but I can only work for one hour, and I have to go home at the lights out time." Although it is a holiday, I still have to work and do community activities during the day. In the future, I can do it a little longer on weekends, but I think that as long as Anyang is on the right track, I will be more and more fine. ”

"I understand", Han Zhiyan couldn't wait to send the other party away, she immediately waved at the other party: "Then, see you tomorrow night." ”

Xia happily said goodbye obediently, and stared at the barn again as he left. Han Zhiyan's heart jumped, and she hurriedly reminded: "This, Xinran, the Humvee you saw today...... Don't talk about it, you know, the military is afraid of retaliation from extremists...... Well, you know. ”

Xia Xinran waved her hand: "Sister Han, I understand ......"

When Xia Xinran was far away, An Yang scratched his scalp and looked puzzled: "Sister Han, my brain is getting more and more confused now, what Xia Xinran said just now made me confused about the purpose of studying, I, what did I come from?"

Han Zhiyan beckoned An Yang to walk into the house, and explained: "Although I don't fully understand what she said about this ......, your brother said before that what he learned in elementary school was: how to work hard to change the world." Later in the British school, I learned how to change myself. Well, you know?

The world is very big, you can't change the world, but you can change yourself, let yourself live in a different way, in a different world. Well, you know? You can only live here for a year, and you can only see everything in a casual way, and many of the ideas taught here are in conflict with those in China. If you hold on to learning something here, go back to change the world, go back and fight for a cause for the rest of your life, you will be the 'sea turtle' that is ridiculed in China, and you will live a miserable life.

But if you hold on to what you have learned from here and go back and change yourself, only your purpose, then you will live a very nourishing life. Well, in fact, it's not terrible to look around, for example, if you see a search engine and go back to this copycat, you are Robin Li who went back from the State University of New York; If you see a portal and go back to copycat it, you are the initiator of Sina, Sohu, and NetEase. Even if you find an expired papermaking patent in the United States, you are also the richest woman in China who monopolizes the patent of China's printing paper and copy paper...... Do you understand this? When you change yourself, perhaps, you change the world by the way.

You just said, 'The purpose of learning, be confused, don't be confused, you just need to think about what you can use, what can make you have the ability to make a living that domestic people don't have, and it's worth it for you to come out this time.'" Change is not terrible, it can change your perception and make you more competitive, even if it is a beautiful year.

Remember, just change you, some differences are understood by yourself, the purpose of understanding these differences is to look at the problem from a higher perspective, as for other people's ......, don't always want to change others, just live your own. Do you understand this? ”

An Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand." The purpose of understanding the differences is to find out more accurately the thinking patterns of the other person...... My brother told me when I was a kid that everyone has their own way of thinking, and finding out how they think can deduce their decisions. ”

At this time, the two had already walked into the living room, Han Zhiyan didn't care about An Yang's words, she patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good that you can think so...... Ah, you've been flying for more than ten hours, and it's not easy to sleep on the plane, so it's better for you to go to sleep and have a good rest. ”

An Yang yawned: "Of course, my brother is my role model, I didn't understand what my brother said when I was a child, but now I understand it more or less...... Ah, I'm so sleepy, Sister Han, I'm going to sleep. ”

After walking a few steps, An Yang stopped, tilted his head and asked, "Sister Han, what is the relationship between you and my brother?" How do you live together? ”

Han Zhiyan's face turned red, and she immediately waved her hand, dodging and saying, "You kid, go to sleep." ”

Seeing that Anyang didn't move, Han Zhi replied with a snort: "This, I'll ...... with your brother Well, it's a good relationship......"

said that the two were lovers, Han Zhiyan couldn't open this mouth, after all, the age difference between the two was too big; But to say that the two are lovers, Han Zhiyan still feels embarrassed - thinking about how small An Feng was at the beginning, it was Han Zhiyan who personally accompanied him to the London airport.

However, if the two of them are bed companions and friends, this is too embarrassing, it seems that Han Zhiyan lacks a man, and she needs to go to bed with a man who is much younger than herself.

"Your brother lives in school all the year round, his house is empty, I can help him look at the house when I move in......" Saying this, the two seemed a little unfamiliar, Han Zhiyan hurriedly added: "Your brother trusts me very much, we have known each other for many years, from London to Stockholm, and then to New York, we have known each other for more than ten years, your brother feels relieved to hand over things to me, and I am the same." ”

"Well, I'm flying around, I've run all over the world, and the dormitory is a temporary sleeping place for me......" Han Zhiyan said more and more smoothly: "But I don't feel at ease when I hand over my personal belongings to others, and I have no problems with your brother for more than ten years." We trust each other, we feel like we can trust each other......"

Yes, exactly

Han Zhiyan firmly believed this, and her tone became more and more confident.

"Your brother has entrusted you to me now, this is also your brother's home, you can be here as if you were in your own home, try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. However, since this is the United States, you have to learn to think the way you think here...... You see, your brother and I are not usually at home, and you will have to stay with a host family in the future, and come here occasionally, maybe there is no one in the house, and you need to take care of it more. Well, I am responsible for my own house, I cleaned up and did my laundry. These self-care skills, you have to learn more from Xia Xinran.

Okay, so be it, you hurry back to sleep, and I'll take you around New York when I have time...... I don't know how your brother arranged it, but my arrangement is: the school has five weeks to start, you have four weeks of free time, and after four weeks I will send you to a host family so that you can get acquainted with them in advance. As for how to arrange these four weeks...... No matter, maybe tomorrow your brother will arrange someone again, let's talk about it tomorrow, you go to bed now

When An Yang returned to his room, Han Zhiyan took a deep breath: Oh, Qu Jin should also sleep, right? She hadn't shown her head since she returned to her room. Maybe she, like the usual flight attendants, goes to a place to catch up on sleep first......

Han Zhiyan thought in her mind, she first went to wash the oil on her face, and then waited for a while, and when her mind calmed down, she took a snakeskin bag and dodged into the barn.

By the time An Yang and Qu Jin woke up again, the sky had completely darkened. Qu Jin was used to jet lag, she looked at the watch with the double dial on her wrist, quickly got up and cleaned up, and when she went downstairs to the living room, An Yang rubbed her eyes behind her and came out. The two greeted each other and descended the stairs to the living room.

There was only one dark light on in the living room, and it was a bit smoky. Han Zhiyan sat under the ghostly lamp, her hair was wet, and she seemed to have just taken a bath. There was half a bottle of wine beside him, and a few cigarette butts were thrown into the silver metal ashtray on the table, which was the kind of thin cigarette that ladies liked to smoke. At this time, Han Zhiyan was a little drunk, she waved weakly at the two of them, and said, "Hey, hello, woke up, have you rested?" Well, go out and eat dinner by yourself, I'm very tired and tired. ”

Qu Jin hurriedly said politely: "How can it, it's already very troublesome for you to live here, let's go out to eat by ourselves."

Han Zhiyan waved her hand again: "It's okay to cook by yourself if you want, where is the kitchen, there is food in the refrigerator, make dinner and clean up the kitchen...... Anyang, come here, I'll give you change. ”

An Yang's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly found a gun pressed under Han Zhiyan's buttocks, and he blurted out: "Gun Sister Han, why do you have a gun?" ”

Qu Jin was taken aback by An Yang's words, and took a closer look, ah, it's really a pistol, brand new. The silver body of the gun sparkled even in the dark light, blinding the eyes of titanium alloy dogs.

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, Han Zhiyan grabbed the gun and wanted to explain something to An Yang, while grabbing the remote control in a drunken and hazy state, and then, the large-screen TV in the living room suddenly lit up, and the movement outside the door appeared on the screen.

A container truck was parked outside the door, and the door was pasted with the pattern of a certain courier company. It was a black man who rang the doorbell, and next to him stood a Mexican. The black man shouted at the intercom on the door, "Ma'am, there's mail for you, is this Kane Bartlet's house?" ”

Han Zhiyan felt that her heart was beating violently - email? How can there still be mail? Is there still someone delivering mail at such a late hour? These two people, alas, the more they look at each other, the more they look like bad people, and the more they look at each other, the more they feel that each other looks vicious. Ah, Mexicans and blacks are the mainstream of criminals. Are they really criminals......

In a panic, Han Zhiyan suddenly remembered the gun in his hand - by the way, I have a gun, I am a person with a gun.

Han Zhiyan felt relieved...... But in fact, she was even more nervous, her hands tightened, but this action made her hand slip, the pistol slipped from her hand unconsciously, she hurriedly reached out to fish, her feet were unstable, and her body lost balance. When she fell on her back, Han Zhiyan didn't think about herself, her eyes were dark, and she shouted in her heart: Gun, oops, I am the insurance of the gun......
