Chapter 6 Prelude
After the party, they naturally went back to their respective countries.
Two cousins, Karam and Kopet, were sent back by Peangon and Deod, while the others were sent back by Pereira.
In the car, neither cousin spoke. Kalam was shocked too much, on the one hand, because of his cousin, and on the other hand, because of the information revealed by his mentor, which was worth thinking about.
On Kopet's side, he is also thinking about today's conversation with Mr. Peng. Don't look at him as a big grin, this is underestimating him. You must know that his father has 8 sons, and he can become the heir as the second son, which is really arrogant, and his father can really rest assured that more than 7,000 people of the Taluk tribe will be handed over to him to manage in the future.
Although the times are advancing, the tribes of Zambia can no longer be decided by the chiefs, but the land, livestock, and wealth are still dominated by the chiefs. So the chief can't decide whether you live or die, but he can decide whether you are rich or poor, and even ruthless can make you unable to stay in the tribe.
Don't think it's better to live without the tribes, the farmers who have land in Africa are much better than the landless farmers. Unless it's a year of great calamity, you won't go hungry.
And those who go to the city, how can they find a stable job when the average prenatal education in Africa is prenatal? So except for a few lucky ones, most of them live in slums doing odd jobs. You need to endure a full meal and a hungry meal, and you also need to accept the oppression of evil forces, which is called a miserable word.
However, although these people were oppressed, it was not easy to get them to believe in communism. Kalam and others have come to do publicity before, but not only is the effect not ideal, but many people ask if they have money to take it. Therefore, from the perspective of the development of various countries, if communism wants to grow in the early stage, it must be dominated by intellectuals, plus the working class, which is also the standard model of communism in various countries. That's a long way off.
For Kopet, he was very satisfied with the meeting with Mr. Peng. Indeed, what he said was what he thought in his heart. But there is a little bit of caution hidden in this, that is, he wants to occupy enough weight in the party he formed.
In his opinion, if a new party is formed by communists, then there will be a high enough cohesion. At the rally in the evening he was impressed, and as long as the organization did not make mistakes, then the enemy had nothing to worry about. Therefore, whether it is for your own ideals and ambitions, or for your own interests, it is best to join them.
As for the risks, there is no risk in what to do. There are also risks when walking, and if you are bitten by a poisonous substance, you will die. For the sake of a hundredfold profit, the capitalist can sell the rope that hangs himself, and now Kopet has a deep understanding.
It didn't take long for the car to get them outside.
After getting out of the car and thanking and watching the car go away, the two stood still and neither of them moved their legs.
"Cousin, I was very surprised by your performance today, and even made me wonder if you were really my cousin."
Kopet knew that his cousin would have questions, but he looked at the other party and said. "Cousin Kalam, I can answer your doubts. In addition to the importance of our friendship, and because I think of Tete as a place to relax, I have eight brothers, five of whom are adults, and I must be good enough in front of my father to become a young chief. All these years I have been dressing up on my father's terms, so I can only release myself if I come to you.
Because I was in front of you as a casual and relaxed me, and when I return to the tribe, then I am the opposite, because I have to promise not to disappoint my father, who fortunately will not come to see my aunt. And today, after listening to Mr. Peng's speech, I realized that it was too a failure to go back and wait for the succession of the chief, I want to do great things to show my ambitions, and I want everyone to know about me. Communism is the best choice, communism has cohesion and a strong enough will. The never-say-die spirit. I ......"
In Kopet's narration, Kalam's mind conjures up the image of a teenager who is forced to change, a picture of fighting with people and the sky.
"By the way, to tell you a secret, I broke the leg of Sampa, the son of the chief of the Kabka tribe, not because of anger, but because his brother Tubk paid me off."
"Cousin, how can you ......"
"He paid 200,000 kwacha (about 150,000 yuan, 18,000 US dollars)"
Now Kalam has nothing to say, such a large fortune, let alone breaking his legs, is enough to buy dozens of lives.
"I know what Tubk thinks, this is trying to use me to disarm Sampa from threatening him, he is a smart man, he knows that I will make Sampa lose face. I granted his wish and broke his brother's leg. ”
Karam has nothing to say now, his cousin really needs to get acquainted again.
While the two cousins were talking, Pereira, who had come home to routinely quarrel with his father, was in his room. The bright lamp illuminated the table, on which Pereira was lying and toiling.
"Nuram is from Moatize, and his father is a coal mine manager, so I can talk to him."
After jotting down a name, Pereira rummaged through his notebook again. This notebook is unstoppable, and if it is picked up, the communists gathered by Peng Gang will lose most of it.
Pereira kept this notebook for backup, and although it was not complete, it contained most of it. In addition, there are two notebooks recorded by personnel, and there is also an incomplete one in Kalam's hand, while Peng Gang has the entire list in his hand.
"Bangbang~"
Just as Pereira was concentrating on picking the list, there was a knock at the door.
"Who?"
"Young master, it's me."
"Wait a minute."
As soon as he heard that it was Grandpa Bogard, the butler, Pereira hurriedly put the notebook and paper in the drawer.
"Grandpa Bogard, you haven't rested yet?"
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the housekeeper's grandfather.
"Master Pereira, I see that the light in your room is still on, so come and have a look. Can the young master have a few words with you? ”
"Come in, Grandpa Bogard."
The old butler walked into the room and looked at Pereira. "Young Master Pereira, this old man of mine has experienced three generations of masters, among which I am most optimistic about you, young master."
As he spoke, the old butler felt in his pocket and took out an envelope.
"Young Master, I don't know what activities you participate in, but I know that no matter what the activity is, you need money to support it. This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope the young master can accept it. ”
"Grandpa Bogard, how can I ask for your money. You still have to live, and there are a lot of people in your family to live on. ”
Facing the old housekeeper's envelope, Pereira hurriedly waved his hand, he knew the situation of the old housekeeper, there were more than ten people in his family, and the economic situation was quite good, but there was definitely not much money left. How could he ask for an old man's pension money? ”
The old butler smiled at Pereira's words. "Young master, most of this money is given by the master, and only the fraction is mine. Although the lord and you have been quarreling all this time, he is just for the family. Although you make him unhappy, his favorite is still you, young master, take it, this is not only my intention, but also the master's intention. You won't let the two elders down. ”
Well, in the face of the old butler's words, Pereira can only accept it.
The old butler, who had fulfilled his wish, left, and Pereira opened the envelope, which contained a check for $500,000 and 1,000 from a Swiss bank, and it seemed that the fraction had been given by the old butler.
At this time, Pereira was full of emotion, thinking of his father and the old butler, and he had tears in his eyes at this moment.
