Chapter 92: Disguise
Before Zhang Longchu fled to East Asia, he thought that his helpless life in Orange Street in Los Angeles was already very hard, but after the disaster, the few months of life that he relied on labor to make a living taught him what is the real hardship.
Fortunately, there are always losses and gains in life, after half a year of tempering, his body of an ordinary urban teenager who does not like fitness has gradually bulged his muscles, and his physical fitness, especially endurance, is much better than before.
But even so, after walking out of the road with a bag of vegetables about the same size as himself, Zhang Longchu was still tired and sweating, and was about to rest for a while, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Long Chu, do you want to take a ride?" ”
Looking back in surprise, he saw a black three-wheeled motorcycle with a black old paint and a body hanging on the back, slowly driving towards him, he wiped his sweat and asked with wide eyes and stunned: "Ah Fu, didn't Fu Bo say yesterday that he was going to help people see feng shui today, don't you come to the stall, why do you come to sell vegetables?" ”
"It's because Abba looks at feng shui for people and can't get out of the stall, so I sell vegetables on his behalf." A young man who looked about the same age as Zhang Long at the beginning of the motorcycle, but was a little thinner, said with a smile.
"How could Fu Bo be willing to let you come out to do this kind of hard work," Zhang Longchu frowned in confusion, and then suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization, "You drove the motorcycle out to sell vegetables by yourself, this courage is too big, aren't you afraid of being broken by your father?" ”
"I was on break at school, and I was earning a few pocket money on Sunday, so why did he break my leg." Hearing this, the young man's face changed. But his mouth was very hard and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you can't get up at all." If you don't come, I'll go. ”
"Don't go, go up, go up, I'll get on," Zhang Longchu, who was tired and panting when he heard this, shouted again and again, took two steps forward and threw the burden in the three-wheeled motorcycle bucket loaded with half a cart of vegetables, and climbed up after himself, "Thank you for the ride, Ah Fu." ”
"It's going to give you a ride. You'll have to help me when I unload the food later. Ah Fu smiled and said the real purpose of taking the initiative to greet Zhang Longchu and kindly letting him take a ride, started the motorcycle, and rushed straight towards the morning market.
There was a heavy rain last night, and the morning breeze in Kuching City still has a little bit of cool moisture, which is very pleasant to blow on people.
Riding against the wind, Ah Fu, who had just been sweating away from squeezing around to buy vegetables, hummed comfortably, "It's you who love." I hate you too, I hope you come back, and I hope I never see you again...".
Halfway through the song, he shook his head and stumbled upon the tall buildings on the other side of the Sarawak River. Suddenly, he stopped talking, and after a long time, he sighed inexplicably and asked, "Long Chu." Listening to the accent, you shouldn't be from Kuching, right? ”
"Yes, I'm from Sabah. The hometown is a small remote village belonging to the city of Jixi.
A year ago, the entire village was flooded due to flash floods. I was the only one who escaped by braving the heavy rain to pick mountain mushrooms. Zhang Longchu, who had been waiting for people to ask him this question for a long time, did not hesitate to say the nonsense that he had made up a long time ago, "Later, after wandering for a few months, I always heard people say that Kuching City is rich, Kuching City is rich, and Kuching City is rich, so I came here to beg for a living." ”
"Kuching City is rich..."Ah Fu sighed again, "It is the northern city district that is rich, where can those of us who were born in wooden houses in the south of the city talk about being rich, and we just bear the reputation of Kuching people in vain." ”
Listening to his discouragement, and not knowing what Ah Fu sighed about at a young age, Zhang Longchu responded in response, "Don't say that, at least you are much richer than me." ”
"Much richer than you...", but Ah Fu became angry, and shouted as if insulted: "You are a wild boy who came to Kuching from the mountain village of Sabah to earn a living, and you don't even know a word, will anyone be poorer than you!"
Hmph, I must make a lot of money in the future, move to Beicheng, drive a brand-name car, live in a high-rise building with a view of the sea, and let those who look down on me know that I am Li Jifu..."
As he spoke, the three-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of a traditional market with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, open on all sides, and only a huge hard plastic canopy on top.
At this time, the market is already crowded with vendors of all kinds, who are starting to sell their products to customers in a rows along the plan that Kuching City Hall retraces on the ground every year, in a first-come, first-served order.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Longchu, who didn't pay any attention to Li Jifu's offense and arrogance, hurriedly jumped out of the car and shouted, "Ah Fu, quickly clean up the dishes, let's go grab a good position." He hurriedly helped his companion to wrap the vegetables in the car with a tablecloth, and then carried his big burden and rushed to the nearest empty stall.
Seeing Zhang Longchu's back, Li Jifu couldn't care about bragging, hurriedly pulled his own bag full of fresh vegetables, and then placed the blanket next to Zhang Longchu.
Although Kalimantan has a season-round summer climate and abundant products, fresh vegetables and vegetables cannot be sold at high prices, but as long as the goods are genuine, it is still possible to make a hard-earned profit.
Buy a lettuce of 6 jiao and 5 cents a pound for RM1, and sell it for 9 jiao of lotus mist with 5 jiao and a catty... From morning to noon, dozens of catties of vegetables were sold out, bringing Zhang Longchu an income of more than RM20, which is not rich, but it is enough for a day's living needs.
On the side, Li Jifu earns a little less because he is not very good at picking vegetables to sell, but he also has about RM20, but his parents are responsible for eating and living, and all the money he earns can be spent.
It's a pity that the morning market is about to end, Li Jifu is excitedly counting money over and over again, and suddenly his head is knocked hard from behind, and he turns around and looks back dizzily.
"Who, who, which grandmother owes...", beaten and lost money, Li Ji scolded angrily, but when he saw the young girl in front of him who was holding his own money, constantly shaking in his hand, tall and tall, with delicate facial features, wearing a light blue dress, and his temperament and appearance were not at all compatible with the traditional market, he choked like a deflated ball.
"Sister, you open, what are you kidding, my head hurts so much..."After being stunned for a long time, he pretended to be casual, licked his face and said with a smile, reaching out to grab the ringgit in the girl's hand, but the girl's cold face flashed, "Li Jifu, you are too bold, Abba is not at home, you dare to drive the motorcycle at home to sell vegetables."
If something happens, do you want Grandma, Abba is alive! ”
"I can't drive more than ten kilometers in total, what can happen," Li Jifu said with a hippie smile: "Besides, sister, haven't you always supported me to do odd jobs before, isn't it just my job to sell vegetables now." ”
"Don't quibble," the girl interrupted Li Jifu's words: "Supporting you to do odd jobs is to let you have more contact with society and learn to endure some hardships, not to support you to do such nonsense."
Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're selling vegetables to make money, I didn't want to persuade you to work at the beginning, and now I have a girlfriend, and I can't ask my father and grandma for money, that's it..."
"What's this, that's, don't think that if you go to college, you'll be taught a lesson.
Li Xian'er, if it weren't for the fact that I had to pay your tuition, Abba and Grandma would have deducted my pocket money like this, would I have come out to sell vegetables and earn pocket money by myself," Before she finished speaking, Li Jifu became angry and yelled: "If you don't appreciate your brother, just rob me of my money, is there any reason for heaven, return my money to me!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I have a scholarship for my studies, and my living expenses are based on student loans, and I didn't spend a ring on my family," Li Xian'er yelled to the ground not to be outdone: "I want to hand over this money to my grandmother, and I won't pay you back, what can you do..."
In the noisy noise of the two sisters and brothers, Zhang Longchu on the side disposed of his last remaining vegetables cheaply, pouted, and left Li Jifu quietly left the morning market.
After eating a toast with fish and meat at a street stall and drinking a glass of juice, he stopped a passenger three-wheeled motorcycle with a closed body and converted into a carriage, with a few low benches as seats in it, and asked the driver: "Sir, how much does it cost to go to the 'Kalimantan Plane Development Center' in the North City?" ”
Kalimantan Island has a gentle terrain, with mountains in the middle and plains on all sides, with mountains stretching out from the interior to the northeast, and the highest peak in Southeast Asia, Mount Kinabalu at 4,102 meters above sea level.
A few kilometers south of Kinabalu, there is a deep basin surrounded by mountains, leading to a magical plane called 'Osadine'.
This plane passage is geographically owned by Malaysia, but it is a pity that the 'Malay' national strength is weak, no matter from the perspective of economic strength and military strength, it is undoubtedly a joke to independently open up a huge plane, and there was a time in history when it even turned from a hunter to a prey, becoming a certain country in the Osadin plane that also has the ambition and power of dimensional aggression, the purpose of plunder.
In the end, as a last resort, Malaysia signed treaties with neighboring Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, announcing the conditional and full opening of the development rights of the Osadin plane.
At that time, the treaty took advantage of its geographical ties to remove the name of China, the hegemon of Asia, from among the signatories, and the subtle message it conveyed was once the focus of global political news.
In the end, it was Malaysia that made a compromise on a series of issues such as imports and exports and currency exchange, which won the understanding of China, and the two governments for a long time coincided with a low-key and cold treatment, which calmed down the turmoil. (To be continued.) )
