Chapter 79: Revenge Doesn't Happen Overnight
After passing the police card, the bus went straight to Sha Tin New Town.
At the first stop, the middle-aged man and the young woman immediately got off the train.
They tricked Li Ling once, probably because they were worried about Li Ling's retaliation, and their movements seemed panicked, and they didn't even dare to look at Li Ling.
"Don't even say a word of thanks, Brother Aling, they really lack virtue." Lam protested through the car window.
Li Ling frowned silently.
The bus entered the centre of Sha Tin, stopping frequently, one stop every five minutes, and when it arrived at the terminal Lek Yuen Bus Terminus, Li Ling took Bao Tsai off the bus.
He was not in a hurry to go out, first went to the ticket window to turn around, and found the alarm phone posted on the glass window, and then led Lin Baozai out of the station and into a coin-operated telephone booth.
"Do you have any coins with you?" Li Ling's bag was full of big money, and he asked Lin Baozai for the Hong Kong version of change.
"Yes!" Lin Baozai directly emptied his trouser pocket and stuffed more than ten steel hammers into Li Ling's hand, which was a Hong Kong version of the coin specially prepared for him by his family, just to prevent him from being unable to receive someone, so that he could call and use it.
In those days, phone calls were cheap, and a millimeter could be used for three minutes, and a piece could be called for half an hour.
Li Ling stuffed a five-millimeter coin and dialed the number of the Sha Tin Police Station.
"Hey, I'm going to report it! What to report? I report an illegal refugee, just smuggled in last night! Characteristics: About 20, female, 5.5 feet tall, with a 2-foot-long braid, blue cloth on the upper body, green military uniform on the lower body, white complexion, and a red mole under the left ear.
Her contact person is called Fu Wenhui, the ID number is 856249, the tail number is (2), and her home address is Room D, 12th Floor, Block A, Ankang Yuan, No. 13 Jihui Street, Sha Tin District.
Try to go a little later, the smuggler has just come, there is a possibility of shopping, if you go to his house and can't catch someone, please go to his office address: Zai Hing Restaurant, 1st Floor, No. 53 Tai Wai Road, Sha Tin District, do you need me to repeat it? Don't need it? okοΌ Good luck with your work! β
Lin Baozai listened to him talking on the phone, and an idiom popped up in his mind - 'drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle', and said that Brother Ah Ling is really powerful, and the police in the car checked and verified, and actually memorized all the information of the middle-aged man, could it be that he had already guessed that he would be plotted by the middle-aged man and the female fellow?
"Bao Zai, contact your family and ask them to pick you up."
"Yes!" Lin Baozai took the phone book to find the number, and asked him:
"Brother Ling, do you have any relatives in Hong Kong? If not, is it okay to live in my house? β
"No, you don't! I'm looking for a place to live on my own! Li Ling wants to look at the character of Baozai's family before making a decision.
"But if you don't have an ID card, the police will arrest you!"
"It's all a trivial matter, it's hard for me, dial the phone quickly!"
Lin Baozai dialed home, but no one answered, he looked at Li Ling in frustration, "Brother Ah Ling, I can't get through!" β
"Can't get through?" Li Ling took the phone book and grinned:
"How? It's just one number! Where's the phone number where you work? And your eldest brother's office phone, why don't you remember it? β
"My old bean is a teacher in the mainland, teaching art classes, no one appreciates his talent on Hong Kong Island, he has been watching the factory gate since he arrived in Hong Kong, and he was transferred to the design department last year, responsible for drawing toy sketches.
He attaches great importance to this job and does not give me the phone number in the factory, for fear that I will disturb his colleagues! My mother has no education, she sells vegetables in the vegetable market, and my eldest brother has no serious job, doing porters in the fruit bar, mainly delivering fruits! β
Lin Baozai lowered his head in shame, "There is no phone where they go to work!" β
"Do you have any other relatives in Hong Kong?" Li Ling was a little depressed, his family was so poor, and he could only lay on the floor if he stayed overnight.
"I originally had an older sister who had been dead for years." Lin Baozai remembered the past, and his nose began to sour.
"My eldest sister loves me the most, and she also has the ability, she was admitted to the Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, working in Zhujiang Film Studio, after she died, my old bean decided to come to Hong Kong Island, Brother Aling, I have been fostered in my uncle's house for seven years, my old bean and my mother don't care about me, do you say they forgot me and remembered the wrong time?"
"Even if I forget you, I won't forget two thousand yuan!" Li Ling crossed his arms and gave him an analysis:
"Bao Zai, I guess your old bean is very likely to have had a car accident on the way to pick you up, and your old bean, mom and eldest brother should all be in the car, otherwise they won't let the phone at home be empty."
"Car accident?" Lin Baozai shouted anxiously, "Brother Aling, they won't be killed, right?" β
"What nonsense!" Li Ling slapped him, "You can't die, don't worry." β
"Oh!" Lin Baozai was in a low mood, "Brother Ah Ling, what should we do now?" β
"Didn't you remember the address of your house? Let's go to the door. β
"Do you know the way?"
"Cut, the map of the entire Hong Kong Island is in my brother's head, and my brother is Octopus!" Li Ling raised his hand and pointed to the north: "Lizheng!" Turn right and go! β
"Hmm!" Lin Baozai immediately turned into a good boy with a red scarf, and he walked right with a plank.
Outside the station, passing many schools, the area is full of gated campuses. For example, Baptist Lui Ming Choi Secondary School, Catholic Shenghua Primary School, Wo Che Estate Kindergarten.
"Brother Ling, what is kindergarten?" Lin Baozai has a strong desire for knowledge.
"Kindergartens are kindergartens in our mainland, Hong Kong people are used to calling them so, they are basically private, registered with the Education Department, providing services for Hong Kong Island children aged three to six, children aged five years and eight months or above, can apply for a primary one place in a government or aided primary school."
This is the situation in the 21st century, and whether this is the case in these years, Li Ling is not clear.
Walking another street, they turned onto Fengshun Road, where there was also a school with a newsstand in front of it.
Li Ling stopped, "Bao Zai, don't be in a hurry to go, let's go find out about Hong Kong Island!" β
On the cement wall to the left of the newsstand is written the words 'Sha Tin Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School', and more than a dozen color hand-painted movie posters with uniform images are posted side by side above the words.
The text of the poster reads like this-
"Lisheng and Folk Music Theater will give priority to tomorrow night's midnight performance:
"The First Time"
- Shock you, melt you, make you unforgettable!
Zhang Guorong and Weng Jingjing starring
ββThis year's most eye-catching and most discussed, youth love drama! β
Lin Baozai was attracted by the long-haired girl on the poster, and sighed: "Brother Aling, this girl is really beautiful, she looks like a fairy." β
"Weng Jingjing?" Li Ling recalled for a moment and introduced:
"On the screen, she is a big star, but off the screen, she is the little wife of a martial artist, the martial artist is fifty years old, has a wife and children, she is a third party who intervenes, and she wants to snatch the position of the mother of the main palace, she is vulgar, without a little fairy spirit."
"Masamiya Niangniang? Isn't it a big wife? Lin Baozai said self-righteously: "Brother Ah Ling, she robbed someone else's husband, that must be a bad woman, and the court should sentence her!" β
"The court doesn't care about the feelings between the husband and wife, only the property between the husband and wife, in fact, whose bed she goes to, let alone the court, God can't control it." Li Ling gave Weng Jingjing such a comment:
"For the wives, she is a vixen who should be killed, but for the little wives, she is a successful example of robbing other people's husbands!
In the eyes of the public, she has a lack of character, but she is a philanthropist herself, keen on charity, in the eyes of different people, she has a different image, so Bao Zai, you don't just use good or bad to measure a person. β
"I don't understand!" Lin Baozai really doesn't understand, in the eyes of children, people are only divided into two categories, good people and bad people, and good people must be white lotus, not contaminated with a stain, otherwise they are big bad guys, in addition, there is no other category in their fairy tale world like white paper.
Li Ling immediately staggered this topic and asked in a guided manner: "Bao Zai, do you know why you put the movie poster here?" β
Lin Baozai touched his head and looked at the building next to the newsstand, called 'Sha Tin Suzhejiang Public School', and there was also a school nearby, called 'Sha Tin Pui Ying Middle School'.
He replied uncertainly: "Because there are students here?" β
"Bingo!" Li Ling snapped his fingers,
"Secondary schools on Hong Kong Island are different from those on the mainland, offering junior high school classes from Secondary 1 to Secondary 3, senior secondary classes from Secondary 4 to 5, and preparatory classes for Secondary 6 and 7 to prepare for university courses.
The middle school students here are more precocious and open, and there are a lot of couples who are patting and dragging, and the posters belong to targeted publicity. β
Speaking of this, Li Ling stopped.
The reason why he stopped was not all to watch the news, but to think of Sister Jialing.
He has a little impression that this is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Townsmen Association, the address is located in Wo Che Estate, Wo Che Estate is the second public housing in Sha Tin District, there are many poor people, so the gentry donated money to build this middle school, in fact, the nearby primary schools and kindergartens are mostly sponsored by rich people and charities.
Sister Jialing only arrived in Hong Kong at the age of fifteen, and Suzhou people came, and she was enrolled in a hometown school in middle school.
Since the 60s, Hong Kong Island has experienced many waves of refugees, whose children were unable to apply for government schools when they first arrived, and most of them went to school buildings built by villagers in various provinces.
Chaoshan Department, Southern Fujian Department, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Department, all have their own private learning, do not set any threshold, as long as you sign up, guaranteed to let you have a book to read, Lin Baozai will definitely be admitted to the school of Guangfu villagers in the future.
