At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 19, 1975, when we were shopping in the commercial street near the hotel, we met Wei Kexin, she invited us to visit a watch ** store, and then Xiaoda and I followed her.

Soon after, we entered the shop, and the owner, seeing that we were uniformed Chinese officers, recommended us a few glow-in-the-dark automaton watches for the military in Chinese.

The boss smiled and said, "Sir! These watches are authentic watches! They were acquired from the battlefield in Vietnam! You see, the surface is very new, the body is thick, the all-steel movement, and the jet lag adjustment disc are all first-class products made in original form! I'll only need you fifty dollars for each watch! ”

I said, "Understood! The owners of these watches are definitely no longer alive! It may be unlucky for us to wear it! Do you have a new watch like this here? ”

The boss smiled and said, "Of course!" The new watch was put on sale by someone from the Quartermaster Department! However, the price is $350 a piece! ”

Then, the owner took out a couple of unopened watches from the counter to show us!

I said, "Boss! These watches are really good! However, the price is too expensive! If you're willing to drop it to $150 a piece, we can consider buying you four watches! ”

The boss smiled and said, "Okay! I see that you are also Chinese! Just give a favor! ”

So, we helped Wei Kexin select and tune two brand-new luminous automatic watches.

Wei Kexin happily paid the boss $300, and the boss wrapped the two watches in a gift box and handed them to Wei Kexin.

Xiaoda and I each selected and adjusted a watch, and after we brought it directly, we paid the boss $150 each.

After finishing our shopping at the watch store, the three of us left the store.

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You're really good at bargaining! I've been to this shop before! NEW WATCH! The boss reported $480! Moreover, they still refuse to bargain with me! That's why I told you to come and try haggling! I didn't think about it, the boss sold it to us so cheaply! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Ah Cai came down from his mother's womb, and before he could walk, he would be in business! ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Xiaoda! You'll brag! You like coral ornaments, don't you?! This is the source of precious corals! Let's take you there! You can buy yourself a string of beads! Buddha beads can bless you with promotion and wealth! ”

So, we followed Wei Kexin and entered a craft store.

There are a variety of coral ornaments in the store, all kinds of goods, men, women and children, and the owner of this shop is also a Chinese.

Wei Kexin chose coral necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc., and the boss shouted $580 together, how did Wei Kexin bargain, and the boss was unwilling to bargain!

I said, "Boss! My sister really wants to sell your stuff! In fact, we are very aware of the purchase price of these goods! Everyone is Chinese! Why do you make so much money with us? If, we've bought it! In the future, we will definitely recommend more guests to shop with you! Wouldn't you earn more that way? ”

The boss smiled and said, "Alas! Or is this chief telling the truth! I'll sell it to the little girl for $250! These products are made from the finest local coral materials! ”

Wei Kexin pulled the two of us to the side, and she smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! I want to save some money for something else! How about you help me pay the bills? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! Ah Cai helped Xue Meifeng pay for it! I'll pay for you this time! In the future, remember to give it back to me! ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Thank you!" Go and pay the bills! ”

In the end, Xiaoda and I each chose a $150 red coral Buddha bead bracelet, Xiaoda helped Wei Kexin pay the bill, he gave the boss $400, I gave the boss $150, and the boss helped the three of us pack the goods in gift boxes and handed them to us!

After coming out of the store, Wei Kexin took us to a remote cold drink shop to drink cold drinks.

In the cold drink shop, we had cold drinks and snacks.

After Xiaoda paid the bill, we sat down around a table with cold drinks and snacks to eat and chat.

As soon as we sat down, Wei Kexin began to look at me and Xiaoda very strangely!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Kexin! What's the matter with you?! Don't you think we're handsome?! ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Handsome, you're big!" Alas, I listened to your accents and looked carefully at your looks! I'm sure I've seen both of you on a friend's photo! Are you from Daling Town in the southwest of the continent?! ”

I said, "Yes! What's your friend's name? ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Her name is Tao Yanfang!" It's about my age! Her father's name is Gold Rush, and her mother's name is Li Juxiang! She also has a younger brother named Tao Gangsheng! ”

I said, "Yes! Tao Yanfang was our primary school classmate in Daling Town! His parents were our elementary school teachers! Her younger brother Tao Gangsheng should have been born after they left the mainland, and now, he should be five years old! Right? ”

Wei Kexin said excitedly: "That's right! It's amazing! ”

Xiaoda said: "Is their family still in Taiwan? ”

Wei Kexin said: "It's gone! After the Chinese New Year this year, the family went to San Francisco! Now, Yanfang's father works there, and Yanfang seems to be studying at the school we're going to! ”

I said, "Kexin! How do you know so many things? ”

Wei Kexin said: "Alas! My dad and Mr. Gold Rush were classmates and fellow villagers in the mainland period! In the summer of '72, when their family came to Taiwan from Hong Kong City, they had no place to live, so they lived in our house! Because of this relationship, Yanfang and I became classmates and good friends! This time, we students were selected and recommended by Mr. Tao to Jefferson! That's why I had the opportunity to get into the Asian class! Do you understand?! ”

I said, "Ke Xin! My relationship with Xiaoda and the Tao family! Does anyone else in the Asian class know? ”

Wei Kexin said: "Ah Cai! I haven't mentioned this to anyone else! I don't know if they do?! ”

I said, "Ke Xin! Our matter with the Tao family, in the future, don't mention it to anyone! Because, after we separated from the Tao family, many things could not be explained clearly at once! Plus, now, we're all agents! I'm afraid we're going to have a bad impact on you! Do you understand? ”

Wei Kexin said: "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! I decided that a few of you were good people, so I told you about these sensitive things, in fact, when I first met you, I already felt like I had seen you somewhere! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! From now on, we'll be friends too! There is something that everyone takes care of each other! Let's go buy swimsuits and get ready for the afternoon swimming! ”

After eating, we bought swimsuits and swim trunks on the shopping street and we went back to the hotel.

When they returned to the hotel, Xiaoming and Du Wentao also returned.

Since all four of us were feeling hungry, we went to the hotel cafeteria to eat.

After grabbing food and drinks in the hotel cafeteria, we sat down at a secluded table to eat and talk.

I said, "Xiaoming, Wen Tao!" Through our conversation with Wei Kexin, the CIA may already know about our relationship with Tao Yanfang and the Gold Rush family! Everyone must be mentally prepared! ”

Du Wentao said: "It's okay! I'll just do what I've told you in advance! ”

Xiaoming smiled and said, "Alas! It's better that way! Gold Rush is our teacher! He certainly won't tell the CIA about our situation on the mainland! ”

I said, "Right now, the Tao family is in San Francisco!" In the future, we will inevitably have to deal with him! You must be very cautious! You can't reveal your identity! ”

Xiaoming said: "Ah Cai! Today, through our conversation with Wang Ziwen and Ouyang Fengxing, we know that the Taiwanese students are all selected by the CIA! Earlier this year, the CIA began this new member development and training program! ”

I said, "Yes!" At the end of last year, Jefferson also talked to us about joining the CIA! Perhaps, Jefferson has checked our background with the gold rush! ”

Xiaoda said: "Alas! The CIA is so insidious! In the future, everyone should be careful when they talk and do things! If something goes wrong, we won't be able to go home! ”

Everyone nodded silently!

......

At 2pm, we went for a swim in the seaside baths after taking cash and swimming trunks at the hotel!

After discussing things, we all felt relaxed, we changed into swimming shorts in the bathing locker room, rented sun umbrellas, swimming rings and rubber boats with Taiwanese male and female students, ordered drinks and snacks, etc., and started swimming and playing in the sea!

We're all teenagers, so we had a lot of fun!

......

At around 5 p.m., we finished swimming and we rinsed fresh water in the locker room.

When we checked out at the bath service center, we only spent $25 each!

Then, everyone dressed up and went to the restaurant to get ready for dinner.

When we arrived at the food street, Wu Lianjun, Di Lina and Wang Ziwen had already chosen a Chinese seafood restaurant with an open-air view of the sea.

So, everyone went in and out of the restaurant to prepare for dinner, and Xue Meifeng and a few other female students who had no money for shopping also came to join in the fun!

Xue Meifeng smiled and said, "Ah Cai! This restaurant is very cheap! It's only $50 per person, including drinks, meals, and enough food! You can help out the money of the four of us shopping refugees! ”

I said, "Yes! I'm out $250! Everyone else AA system to pay for it! ”

So, 32 of us raised $1,600 for the store owner.

The owner arranged for us to sit at three large round tables under the coconut trees in the open air and have tea, waiting for us to be served with a glass of food.

Soon, it was dark, the lights were on, and each of our tables was served with more than a dozen big dishes such as lobster, elephant trunk mussels, stewed local chicken with sea cucumber, grilled eel, salmon sashimi, braised grouper, steamed sea bass, barbecued oysters, as well as sorghum wine, beer and cola!

Everyone was already hungry, so everyone started talking while eating.

After everyone ate badly, Wu Lianjun and others proposed to let Xue Meifeng and Wei Kexin sing for everyone!

Xue Meifeng smiled and said, "There is no charge for singing tonight!" Be sure to charge for it next time! We will sing a song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" for you! ”

Ouyang Fengxing smiled and said, "Oops! Can't you just sing it again? We're tired of listening to this song! ”

Xue Meifeng said: "Love to listen or not!" We're only going to sing this one! ”

Wei Kexin said: "Okay! Then, let's sing you another song "Plum Blossom"! Okay, right? ”

After everyone applauded, several of their girls began to sing songs such as "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and "Plum Blossoms"!

Their euphemistic and beautiful singing attracted the applause of the other guests!

When they sang "Plum Blossoms!" in "Plum Blossoms! Plum blossom! Flying! The colder she gets, the more she blooms! Plum blossoms! Plum blossom! To us, majestic Greater China! The Chinese here stood up and applauded!

I feel that they are too patriotic, but everyone's understanding of her may be too different!

At 9 o'clock in the evening, after we finished the dinner, we packed up our things and went back to the hotel to rest!

Wang Ziwen, Ouyang Fengxing and a few other more active boys were drunk, and everyone helped them go back!

......

At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 20th, Xiaoda and I were sleeping lazily, and Wei Kexin and Xue Meifeng slapped the door to wake us up!

After we got up, washed, and dressed, we invited them all to our room for coffee and chat.

Xue Meifeng said: "Ah Cai! Kexin's family and my family are neighbors! Therefore, I am also good friends with Tao Yanfang! I also know your relationship with the Tao family! Rest assured, we won't say it! You are good people! ”

I said, "It's okay! And that's not a bad thing! It's just that the fewer people who know, the better! After all, in the future, we are all agents! Too many people know our details, which is not good for everyone! Do you understand? ”

Wei Kexin said: "Alas! Don't mention any of these things! You two still have money left, right? Get ready to buy some gifts for Yanfang and the Tao family! ”

I said, "I have $250 left!" Xiaoda, how much do you have left? ”

Xiaoda said, "I have $500 left!" ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Enough! You come with us to the shopping street to buy gifts for Yanfang and the Tao family! Use it all $750! The Tao family is very hospitable, and when we arrive in San Francisco, the Tao family will definitely invite us to their house for dinner! When the time comes, you will send them these! ”

So, I handed the remaining $250 to Xiaoda, and we followed them out of the hotel and into the high street.

When we arrived at the shopping street, at the coral jewelry store, we bought Yanfang a set of coral necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc., which cost 250 US dollars.

Then, I bought Mr. Tao a coral pipe and spent $50.

We bought Tao Gangsheng a small bracelet, an engraved plaque of "carp jumping over the dragon gate", etc., and spent $50!

Xiaoda paid the bill, and after taking the packaged gift, Xiaoda said, "Kexin! Now there's still $400! What else to buy? ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "Alas! You boys, you don't understand anything! It must be used to buy skin care products for Teacher Li Juxiang! I still have a little money left, so I'll buy myself a set too! ”

So, the four of us went to the store where Xue Meifeng and the others used to buy deep-sea mud skin care cream and deep-sea fish oil.

Everything here is very expensive! A small bottle of skin cream costs $250, a bottle of 50 cod liver oil costs $200, and our $400 for a set is not enough.

So, I bargained with the shopkeeper, and I said, "Boss! We're garrisons who have just come here to change our guards! It is indispensable to visit your store in the future! However, the price of your goods is too high! In fact, we are very clear about the purchase price of these goods! If, give us a real price! From now on, we will all buy things from you! There are still many relatives in our country who like to use these things! ”

The boss smiled and said, "Okay! I can give it to you at wholesale prices! You will be charged $100 per bottle of skin cream and $50 per bottle of cod liver oil! These products are certified and have food safety licenses! All regular products of large manufacturers! ”

So, Xiaoda asked for two bottles of deep-sea mud skin care cream and four bottles of deep-sea fish oil, which cost a total of $400.

Wei Kexin also spent $400 to buy two bottles of deep-sea mud skin cream and four bottles of deep-sea fish oil.

After the hostess packed the two of them, we left the shop and headed back to the hotel.

Xue Meifeng said: "Alas! Ahh You're so good at bargaining! When we buy things, this boss doesn't give us a penny! How can you deceive people like the real thing! If I had money, I would buy it again! ”

Wei Kexin smiled and said, "You know it's amazing!" In the future, we will learn a little more from Ah Cai! Learn to tell a story that makes sense! In this way, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future! ”

Everyone laughed!

.....

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Inoue and four other Japanese trainees came back like black people.

However, they still seemed very excited and kept telling us about their travel experiences in broken English!

However, everyone is very incomprehensible about their behavior of basking in the sun and wandering around!

In the evening, everyone went to the hotel's folk performance dance hall to watch the local indigenous folk song and dance performance!

......
