Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 162: Water shortage!

Causeway Bay, Tenement House.

"Ajian, do you think my clothes are suitable? I just bought them from the nearby Fook Kee department store. The boss said what kind of fabric is this French!"

Shi Yufeng stood in front of the fitting mirror, wearing a newly bought women's Tang suit, looking around, twisting her body from time to time, and pulling at the bottom placket of the Tang suit with her hands.

Shi Zhijian leaned against the wall and held his chin with one hand: "Sister, you are as beautiful as a flower, and you look beautiful in everything you wear!"

"Che, what beauty is like a flower, it's not sincere at all!"

Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes at the slender man, smoothed the waist area with her hand, and took a breath to restrain her slightly awkward belly, "If you are willing to show the ability to coax other people's Nie girl, I will not be so dry and useless. feel it."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean—if you don't say it, it depends on someone's self-consciousness." After Shi Yufeng finished speaking, she admitted that her new clothes were not bad, so she went to comb Baoer's hair and braid it with a lame leg.

Bao'er held the beloved doll and braided the doll.

Shi Zhijian waited for a long time and couldn't help urging, "Are you ready? It's not going back to her parents' house!"

"Why didn't I go back to my natal home? For me, Shek Kip Mei is my natal home!"

Shi Yufeng, who was applying lipstick, shook her head, making a loud noise.

……

On the way to Shek Kip Mei, Shi Zhijian intentionally told the old sister Shi Yufeng about the current situation of Shek Kip Mei from the mouth of the stinky fish, but he was afraid that the stinky fish would exaggerate. My own random guesses swept the old lady's mood.

So Shi Zhijian held back and didn't say anything. Instead, he told his elder sister Shi Yufeng that he would be attending a very special celebration party tonight, and that many big stars would show up. He asked Shi Yufeng if he wanted to come with him.

Shi Yufeng was busy packing up the various gifts in the car, and said, "This is the tiger domino rubbing wine that Uncle Prawn wanted. He has a bad waist. When he left last time, he said that this brand is good, and it can be wiped off. For a few days on top!"

"This is the toilet water from Guangfa Yangxing that Mrs. Qinglin asked for. Not only is this brand very fragrant, but it also relieves itching."

"As for this, it's the rattle that third brother Liu wanted. His baby is three years old, so buying a rattle as a gift for him is considered a favor."

"There is also the western medicine Amoxicillin that Zhu Sanpo asked for. The poor fellow Daoist in her family is dying, lying on the bed all day long. I heard that this western medicine can reduce inflammation!"

"By the way, Ah Jian, what did you say just now?" Shi Yufeng packed all the gifts, big and small, and asked Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, "I said there is a celebration party tonight, hosted by Shaw Brothers Studios, in Shaw Brothers Studios, do you want to go?"

"Nonsense! Of course I like going to see big stars!" Shi Yufeng almost jumped up in excitement, but luckily the inside of the car was relatively short.

"You bastard, why are you telling me this good news now! It sounds majestic enough to be able to go to a movie theater to see big stars! By the way, is there any Chen Baozhu I like? I must ask her for an autograph!"

Shi Yufeng is a die-hard fan of the superstar Chen Baozhu. Her biggest wish in her life is to meet Chen Baozhu and ask her for an autographed photo.

"There should be. She is also from the Shaw Brothers. I'll find out when I go tonight!"

"Wow, I'm so excited!" Shi Yufeng hugged Bao'er in her arms, "Bao'er, your mother is going to see an idol tonight, are you happy?"

Bao'er giggled, "I'm happy too, if you buy me a hamburger, I'll be even happier!"

Shi Yufeng tapped Bao'er's head with her finger, "What kind of hamburgers do Chinese people eat? There is no good thing invented by ghosts! A steamed bun with a sausage costs two dollars, it will kill you! When you go back, Mom, I will make you a bun to eat. , big meat stuffing!"

Shi Yufeng was rarely happy, and made up her mind that she must wear beautiful clothes to meet her idol tonight. This dress is not good. It's okay to go back to Shek Kip Mei to save relatives. Participating in such a big banquet will definitely be embarrassing for the slender, or should I spend money to buy a new dress?

At the thought of spending money, Shi Yufeng felt a pain in the flesh.

……

Shek Kip Mei, a slum.

When Shi Zhijian drove his elder sister Shi Yufeng back to Shek Kip Mei, he was stunned by the sight before he got out of the car.

I saw five large fire trucks parked in the center of the building, and the poor people in Shek Kip Mei were all carrying buckets and waiting in long queues to buy water from these candle ghosts.

The queue to buy water was very long, winding up from the bottom of the building and going round and round the building.

More than a dozen fire candle ghosts in fire uniforms are jokingly taking the taps and pointing them at the water buyers' buckets and washbasins, filling them with water.

The water was swirling and the water was yellow. I didn't know if it was pond water or well water from somewhere.

The first fire candle ghost was obviously the leader of this gang, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and ears, lying lazily on a large reclining chair, holding a police cap in his hand, put it on his belly, and asked the water buyer to put money in it .

"Five cents for a bucket of water, no kidding, everyone queue up consciously!"

"Don't squeeze or rob, everyone has a share!"

"You're good to go!"

"Next person!"

A thin woman with patches on her clothes came up with a big bucket, and the candle ghost took the tap to fill her bucket with water.

Soon the bucket was filled with water, and the thin woman came to Zhao Fenger, took out the crumpled fifty cents from her bosom, and put it into the open police cap with some reluctance.

The thin woman gave the money, carried the bucket and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Zhao Fenger suddenly stretched out his leg to stop her, "Is the number wrong?"

The thin woman was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"I said the amount you paid for the water was wrong." Zhao Fenger said with a slanted eye, "You gave me fifty cents to buy a bucket of water, but your wooden bucket is a bit higher than the average person's! "

As he was talking, he saw Zhao Fenger stand up from the reclining chair, then took out a tape measure from his arms and inserted it into the bucket to measure the height, "Look, it's three centimeters more!"

The thin woman looked flustered.

"Hey, I've always been fair in my business. The extra water is your two cents. How about it? It's interesting!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! Besides, I really have no money!" The thin woman hurriedly apologized.

"No money? What are you doing? Learn to carry such a big bucket?!" Zhao Fenger said, with his hands tied to the police belt around his waist, he stretched out his foot to step on the edge of the bucket, and slowly tilted the bucket slightly. The water splashed out and flowed to the ground!

Everyone stared at this scene, and in their hearts, the most precious drinking water was wasted by Zhao Fenger without caring at all.

When the flow reached a certain level, Zhao Feng Er released his feet, but when he looked at the bucket, it was a little shallower.

"As a human being, you must be honest! If I let you take advantage, how can you be worthy of everyone? Now, the price is fair, and the portion is fair!"

After Zhao Feng'er finished speaking, he turned to look at the people in Shek Kip Mei,

Everyone in Shi Kipwei also looked at him with anger in their eyes.

These fire candle ghosts like to take advantage of the fire and loot. Shek Kip Mei has no water to eat.

Zhao Fenger saw so many people staring at him without fear at all. Instead, he pointed at everyone's nose with a shy stomach, and scolded: "Why don't you applaud? Look at your expression now? Dead father, mother, or son?"

Everyone was silent~www.readwn.com~ stared at him.

"Hey, don't be ignorant! You guys don't have water to eat, so I'm the only one who came to rescue you with five big water trucks. If Lao Tzu pulls the water back, you're all screwed!"

"Dog thing, stop talking nonsense here!" Brother Liu suddenly stood up, "Did you not want to make money by pulling water here?"

"Yeah, it **** our blood just by pulling a little bit of water, it's so annoying!" Uncle Prawn also stood up.

The anger accumulated for so many days was finally ignited.

Zhao Fenger smiled. Facing these poor ghosts, he had the confidence to kick them out.

"Why, if you don't agree? If you don't agree, build a water tower yourself! Oh, by the way, you are all very poor. A pond costs 30,000 yuan, can you afford it?!"

Uncle Prawn, Brother Liu and others looked at each other.

Thirty thousand yuan is an astronomical figure for them.

Don't look at the fact that they have more than 8,000 households together, but they really can't make up 30,000 yuan.

Seeing that everyone was slumped, Zhao Fenger became even more complacent, "What, can't you get it out? If you can't get it out, shut up to Laozi! Money is the master, if you don't have money, you will eat shit!"

But before Zhao Fenger was finished, he heard a voice say, "30,000 yuan? I have it!"

While talking, I saw a woman limping forward.

Shi Yufeng!

Also known as Lame Phoenix!

Shi Kip Mei, the first person with loyal sons and daughters!
