Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 436, Angry Yang Xiaole

"Dong dong dong..."

Yang Xiaole woke up and was brushing her teeth when someone knocked on the door.

After taking a quick look, Song Jiaxin actually knocked on the door.

Then he came over with a toothbrush and opened the door.

With so many things missing last night, he should have discovered them long ago, but he slept quietly all night last night, and no one came to disturb him.

This made him curious.

When she opened the door, she still looked like a carefree little girl.

Yang Xiaole looked at Xiaole and smiled: "Didn't you run away? Why are you back again?"

Yesterday the room was priced at RMB 78, and with the 20 yuan deposit given, it was close to RMB 100.

He thought the other party had run away!
Song Jiaxin shook her head: "Why are you running? I just went back to sleep. Here, here is the rent!"

He took out a hundred and handed it to him.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and smiled: "Shouldn't it be 178?? This is just the deposit, and what about the room fee?"

"You said you let me live here, but it's up to me whether I live there or not!"

Song Jiaxin muttered normally.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled: "What you said makes sense. You can keep the money for yourself, as I don't need to give it to you."

While talking, he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Song Jiaxin, on the other hand, was leaning against the door, watching him brush his teeth and wash his face, with a look of curiosity on his face.

While brushing his teeth, Yang Xiaole asked strangely: "Why are you looking at me? Do you always treat customers like this? Are you afraid that I won't pay you?"

Song Jiaxin shook her head: "No, I'm just curious, and there are some people who are not interested in women! Do you think I'm dirty? Or am I ugly?"

Although she was born in the United States.

My parents were born in the Mainland, so I knew that there were men in the Mainland who disliked women in brothels.

She is quite confident in her appearance.

Yang Xiaole brushed his teeth and shook his head: "That's not true! I have a girlfriend!"

Although Song Jiaxin is not as good as Hua Yourong and Qu Ying, her looks are not bad either.

Hearing this, Song Jiaxin came over and hugged him from behind.

He muttered: "I'm not sick!"

After saying that, his little hand reached out to Yang Xiaole.

Then I was surprised!
Then he squatted down directly.

When Yang Xiaole saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and continued to brush his teeth calmly.

There was a hint of enjoyment on his face.

It's been a long time!

Song Jiaxin then stood up, rubbing her sore cheeks, and said teasingly: "I thought you weren't good at it! I didn't see it! You're no worse than those black people!"

Tsk, tsk, and go over to sip.

Yang Xiaole didn't care either.

I also paid for the things that you and I wanted to do.

He smiled and asked, "Do you also accept black customers?"

Song Jiaxin shook her head: "That's not true, my friends took it!"

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole nodded, walked out of the bathroom after washing, and changed his clothes.

Song Jiaxin naturally followed.

After coming out, she still asked: "Where are you going later?"

"Is there anyone who sells air tickets here? Are you going to the airport?"

It stands to reason that Wall Street, as the financial center of New York and the world, must have a place to sell air tickets.

Sure enough, Song Jiaxin shook her head: "No, there is a service center here!"

"Okay, take me to ask about the air tickets later! Let's go!"

Then the two of them left the hotel.

When we came to the street, people were probably working outside, and many people were walking on the street carrying things.

The men are dressed in suits and leather shoes, and most of the women are dressed like professional women.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole felt curious for a while.

This street doesn't look that new now, but it is very clean and the houses give people a very quaint feeling.

Maybe it's because it took a long time to cover.

But it doesn't feel shabby.

This reminded him of the Shanghai Huangpu River, the financial center of the Republic of China.

The entire street is not very long, only more than 11 meters, and only meters wide. It looks very narrow.

But it's only such a distance.

But it is a concentration of major top companies.

Here are the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, investment banks, government and municipal securities dealers, trust companies, the Federal Reserve Bank, various public utilities and insurance companies.

As well as the general management offices of large companies such as banks, insurance, railways, shipping, mining, and manufacturing established by major consortiums.

After a while, the two of them stood at the door of a building with more than ten floors.

"We're here, on the second floor!"

Song Jiaxin stood at the door and said something to him.

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Go!"

The two went up to the second floor and came to a service hall.

"Where are you going? Japan?"

There were not many people buying tickets at this time, so Song Jiaxin asked him.

We just had a little chat on the way.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Can you ask if there are flights to places like Japan, the Philippines, and Singapore? The earliest ones."

These places are very close to Hong Kong Island.

There are not as few flights as direct flights to Hong Kong Island.

As long as he gets near there, he can naturally go back.

As for the visa, Huang Qiujing has already taken care of it, and he has it all with him!
Song Jiaxin nodded: "Okay!"

Then they started talking to the waiter.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, there is a flight to Singapore. It will stop in the Philippines. There are two places. Which one do you want?"

"Singapore!"

Since there was a plane to Singapore, he naturally went there, just in time to see the old man, and then returned to Hong Kong Island.

"238!"

Song Jiaxin reached out to him.

Yang Xiaole naturally handed him the money directly.

You don’t have to worry about communication when you go there, because most of the people there are of Chinese descent.

After giving the money, the beautiful waiter made a phone call.

After making the call, I printed out a ticket and handed it to him.

Very slow.

It takes more than twenty minutes.

I don’t know why I had to call to communicate before issuing a ticket.

After doing it, the two went downstairs.

Yang Xiaole looked around and said with a smile: "Let's have a meal first and then go shopping later. After I go to the airport in the afternoon, you can leave."

Song Jiaxin naturally agreed after hearing this.

The two of them randomly found a Western restaurant on the first floor and ordered two Western meals.

While sitting there waiting, Yang Xiaole looked at the other party with curiosity: "Are you so young that you don't go to school?"

By the way, it's quite fun for the other party to be like this.

Say anything!

I'm not afraid of him getting angry either.

Song Jiaxin shrugged, with a strange look on her face: "Why do you think so?"

Then he thought that this guy didn't know English, so he smiled and said, "Why do you think so? Who said I won't go to school?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked at her in surprise: "You go to school and you come to do this business, and don't you have to go to school today?"

"You gave me a lot of money!"

Song Jiaxin said nonchalantly.

That means, if Yang Xiaole hadn't given her so much money today, she would have gone to school.

"Just do it at night? How long have you been doing this? No one at home cares about you?"

Song Jiaxin said nonchalantly: "That's right! I'll do it at night, so it will take more than two months!"

Didn't talk about family matters.

"Why do you do this? Are we Chinese having a hard time here?"

Yang Xiaole became curious about this side.

Song Jiaxin said nothing when she heard this.

He looked out the window and smiled.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he knew that she didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them didn't have much in common.

After a while, the steak came, and the two of them sat there and ate for a while.

The two casually chatted about the situation here.

After dinner, I took him for a walk around.

Yang Xiaole was on the street, listening to the explanation curiously, and then smiled: "Actually, you can be a tour guide! This business is also very profitable."

Song Jiaxin looked around and her eyes flickered.

The man in front of me is so strange.

Are you caring about her?
Ha ha!

He smiled and said, "You can try it!"

As a financial center, it is true that many people come here to travel, but it is not something that can be done.

It's not that simple.

Yang Xiaole nodded and chatted a few words casually.

It was not too early when he got up, it was almost noon in a short while.

The two had two lunches, and when it was close to 12:30, under Song Jiaxin's arrangement, they got into a taxi to the airport.

"It's rare to see you once, so I give this to you!"

Before leaving, Yang Xiaole handed a small bag to the other party.

Song Jiaxin looked at it curiously.

not sure what it is.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this and said to the driver: "Let's hit the road."

"OK!"

The white driver muttered something, started the car and left.

After the car left, Song Jiaxin opened the bag and covered her mouth in surprise when she saw what was inside.

US dollars!

What Yang Xiaole gave was US dollars!

Look at the number! Then, she looked curiously at the direction the taxi was leaving, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses.

Hurry and run towards home!

……

Yang Xiaole was sitting in the car, and what she had just given was naturally money, but actually it wasn't much.

I took some from the pile of old banknotes, but it wasn’t really much, only about ten thousand!

But not too little.

It's not like in later generations, where ordinary people would have to work for four or five years to earn so much money without eating or drinking!

We arrived at the airport, waited for a while, and got on the plane to Singapore.

The place we stopped this time seemed to be different, we stopped at several airports in the middle.

When he arrived in Singapore, it was still daytime due to the time difference, but the time had changed to morning.

He also said that when the plane took off in the afternoon, he never saw the dark sky.

By the way, when such a big thing happened, why did the Americans seem like nothing was wrong? There weren't even many people checking on the road!
It’s impossible not to notice it!
I didn't care about it, but changed my clothes first.

The climate here is a tropical rain forest. November is similar to summer in the mainland. These people are all wearing short sleeves.

Change your clothes. After leaving the airport, we came to a taxi.

This is a thin old man.

Rub his mustache.

"Can you speak Chinese?"

After passing by, this was his first sentence!

Hearing this voice, the other party smiled: "Yes! Where are you going, sir!"

With a southern coastal accent.

But yes, the largest number of Chinese here are in Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

"Go to No. 364, Chinatown!"

The so-called Chinatown is actually Chinatown in Singapore. Because there was no running water here before, the scene of oxcarts transporting water was very common in Chinatown, so Chinatown was called Chinatown.

The other party nodded: "Come up!"

Yang Xiaole got in the car.

The airport is located on the southwest coast of Singapore, while Chinatown is the city center, close to the southernmost port, but the distance is only a dozen kilometers away.

I can't help it, it's too small here.

It is about 50 kilometers from east to west and 26 kilometers from north to south. To put it bluntly, many counties in the mainland are larger than this.

Jinzhai County is the largest in the mainland, covering an area of ​​3800 square kilometers.

It is 5 times that.

There is a highway from the airport to the city, and you can get there in just ten minutes.

In the 1960s, this place had not yet taken off, so the infrastructure was not much better.

The car stopped in a residential area behind a street.

Yang Xiaole gave 2 yuan in US dollars and got out of the car.

It's really not expensive.

That’s not even counting the change!

The driver took the money and left happily.

Yang Xiaole looked up at this community with six-story houses and went in directly.

When I came to a building, I saw the figure of the old man upstairs and smiled.

Then he frowned.

Went directly to the third floor.

Arriving at the place, he knocked gently on the door.

After a while, someone opened the door.

It was Cao Weiwei who opened the door.

When the other party saw it was him, he was also surprised: "Why are you here?"

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he frowned and said, "Let me see the master!"

The other party looked at him and nodded casually: "Grandpa is inside! Come in! Remember to close the door."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After entering, Yang Xiaole took a deep breath and walked straight towards the balcony.

When we came to the balcony, the old man was lying on a wicker chair and reading a book.

"master!"

When the old man heard the movement, he raised his head and was stunned when he saw the person in front of him!
"Xiao Le!"

Then he smiled.

Yang Xiaole smiled, then looked at the balcony, frowned and asked, "They will let you live in this house?"

This is a large house with three bedrooms and one living room.

There are three houses.

The balcony is quite big.

A small wooden bed was leaning against the balcony, with a curtain hanging inside, and the sleeping place was inside.

The old man looked at it and said calmly: "It's okay! The house at home is not enough to live in. I can sleep anywhere."

Yang Xiaole took a deep breath.

After just checking it out a little, I knew the layout of this room.

The master bedroom should be occupied by Cao Zhongxuan and his wife, and the other two rooms, one of which has a wedding photo, belongs to a young man who should be Suo Ye's eldest grandson.

The last room is naturally Cao Weiwei's house.

Now he regretted letting the old man come over.

"Isn't there a place to rent a house here? Are you allowed to live here?"

When has the old man suffered such injustice in his life?

Even if the house in the mainland is taken over, he still has an independent yard!
"Hey, why are you so rude! Why do you want my grandpa to live here? Didn't grandpa just come here? He will move there when he rents a house later!"

Cao Weiwei had been listening to the two people talking in the living room.

Hearing this, I came over feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and frowned: "It's been a few days since your grandfather came here, right? Is it so difficult to rent a house?"

"never mind!"

Seeing this, Mr. Suo sighed: "It's okay. I heard Zhongxuan said that the economy is in recession now, and his money is of great use! It's just like living here!"

Yang Xiaole took a deep breath.

Since last year, the United States and the West have entered a period of economic depression, which has had a great impact on other places.

Hong Kong Island’s housing prices also began to decline because of this.

This is understandable.

But letting someone of that age live on the balcony.

There are air conditioning fans everywhere else, but nothing here.

How is it made?

"Master, go down and take a walk! I can't stay here for too long."

Hearing this, Suo Ye smiled and nodded.

"Weiwei, let's go down for a while!"

The old man talked to his granddaughter, and then they went downstairs.

Coming downstairs, Yang Xiaole said directly: "Master, do you want to go back to Hong Kong Island?"

The old man sighed: "Forget it, it's the same everywhere, just wait for a while and then I'll go back!"

Yang Xiaole heard this and didn't try to persuade him again.

After all, being with your loved ones is more important than anything else.

Sighing, he came to the street outside the community and went straight to a hotel.

"Get a room!"

This is Chinatown, so it’s impossible not to speak Chinese.

And the price of this room is not expensive, the cheap one is only 9 Singapore dollars, and the expensive one is only Singapore dollars.

The old man thought he was going to stay, so he said nothing and watched quietly.

"How long will you stay? What room will you stay in?"

"It only costs 9 yuan! I'll open it for a month first. Can I pay in US dollars?"

After all, it only costs less than 100 yuan a month.

Because the exchange rate between Singapore and the US dollar is 3.06.

"Are you staying that long? You can stay that long!"

The old man asked doubtfully from the side.

When the waiter heard that it was US dollars, he naturally nodded and said, "Okay!"

Yang Xiaole didn't answer, but said to the waiter: "This is one hundred, you can open it for one month first, and the rest will be used as a deposit."

He took out a hundred dollar bill and put it on the table.

The other party agreed with a smile.

Completed the procedures for him.

Yang Xiaole took the item, looked at the house number on it, and said, "Master, let's go up."

There is no elevator.

Because there are only three floors in total.

The room is on the third floor.

When I arrived at the place and opened the door, I found that the place was not small, just a large room with a large balcony.

Eyes can penetrate in.

After Yang Xiaole motioned the old man to sit down, he said directly: "Master, I opened this room for you, and I will give you some money later! But as agreed, this money is for you. If you give it to anyone, I will follow you." If you fall out, I won’t care about you anymore.”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of money from his bag.

There are twenty to thirty thousand.

As he spoke, he muttered: "I don't care where you always want to go. Reunion as a family is also a good thing. I won't force you! But there is no need to be so aggrieved. Take the money, and if they rent a house for you, you can live there. If I don’t rent you a house, I’ll live here or buy a house myself, and it’s up to you.”

After saying that, he explained: "Master, it's the same as before. I owe you this money. If you always use it to supplement your family, don't contact me again. You always know my temper! I can do it." ”

When the old man heard this, he took a deep breath.

Didn't pay attention to his tone.

He sighed softly and nodded: "I got it!"

Yang Xiaole saw this and said nothing more.

It is normal for the elderly to feel aggrieved for the sake of their children!
He is not qualified to comment on other people's families.

He changed the subject and asked: "Master, why are you always idle? If you want to do something here, tell me whether you want to do business or what you want to do, tell me, and I will find a way for you."

"If you go back to Hong Kong Island, I will open a shop for you on the Hollywood Antique Street. You can just go and get it when you have nothing to do."

He had already thought that the old man had nothing to do here.

Ask him to do any big business, he won't know how to do it, and there is no need.

The old man likes antiques, so he can go get this play time. It just so happened that he had to find a way to get things from the mainland.

It would be a shame to leave it there and ruin it.

The old man thought for a while and smiled: "Okay, I know, we'll talk about this later! You went to the United States and came back so soon?"

"Well, I'll come back when things are done. How about you staying here?"

Then the two started chatting there.
