Chapter 163 #0162 [Lack of Water! 】

Causeway Bay, Tenement House.

"Ajian, do you think my clothes are suitable? I just went to the nearby Fuji Department Store to buy them. The boss said that this kind of fabric is French delicacy!"

Shi Yufeng stood in front of the fitting mirror, looked around in a newly bought women's Tang suit, twisted her body from time to time, and pulled the lower skirt of the Tang suit with her hands.

Shi Zhijian leaned against the wall and rested his chin on one hand: "Old sister, you are as beautiful as a flower, and you look good in everything!"

"Tch, what a beautiful flower, not sincere at all!"

Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes at the young man, smoothed her waist with her hands, took a breath to restrain her slightly abrupt belly, "If you were willing to show the ability to coax Miss Nie, I wouldn't be so dry and useless I feel it."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean - if you don't say anything, it depends on whether someone is self-conscious." After Shi Yufeng finished speaking, she thought the new clothes were not bad, and went to comb and braid Bao'er's hair with a limp.

Bo'er held that beloved doll and braided the doll's hair.

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

"Why not go back to my natal family? For me, Shek Kip Mei is my natal family!"

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

...

On the way to Shek Kip Mei, Shi Zhijian deliberately told his elder sister Shi Yufeng what he knew about Shi Kip Mei's recent situation from Smelly Yuming, but he was afraid that Smelly Yuming would exaggerate. My own random guesses swept away the old lady's mood.

So Shi Zhijian refrained from saying anything, and instead told his elder sister Shi Yufeng that he would attend a very special celebration banquet tonight, where many big stars would show up, and asked Shi Yufeng if he wanted to go there with him.

Shi Yufeng was busy packing up all kinds of gifts in the car, and said: "This is the Tiger Bone Dieda wine that Uncle Da Xia wanted. He has a bad waist. When he left last time, he said that this brand is good, and it can be cured with just a rub." On top for days!"

"This is the toilet water from Guangfa Foreign Company that Mrs. Qinglin asked for. They say this brand is not only very fragrant, but also relieves itching."

"As for this, it's the rattle that Third Brother Liu asked for. His baby is three years old, so it's a favor to buy a rattle for him."

"There is also the western medicine amoxicillin that Mrs. Zhu asked for. Her family's poor fellow Daoist is going to die. He hangs himself on the bed all day long. I heard that this western medicine can reduce inflammation!"

"By the way, Ah Jian, what did you just say?" Shi Yufeng asked Shi Zhijian, looking up while packing all the big and small gifts.

Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, "I said there is a celebration party tonight, it's held by Shaw Brothers Film Company, in Shaw Brothers Studios, do you want to go?"

"Nonsense! Of course I like to see big stars!" Shi Yufeng almost jumped up excitedly, but fortunately the car was relatively short.

"You bastard, why didn't you tell me this good news now! Being able to go to the movie theater to see big stars sounds impressive enough! By the way, is there any Chen Baozhu that I like? I must ask her for an autograph!"

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

"Should have, she also belongs to the Shaw Brothers, just go there tonight and find out!"

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

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

Shi Yufeng poked Bao'er's head with her finger, "What do Chinese eat hamburgers? Ghosts invented nothing good! A steamed bun with a sausage in it costs two yuan, it's killing you! When I go back to my mother, I'll make buns for you. , big meat stuffing!"

Shi Yufeng was rarely happy, and made up her mind that she must dress nicely to meet her idol tonight. But this dress is no good, it's okay to go back to Shek Kip Mei to visit relatives, attending such a big banquet will definitely embarrass my younger brother, why don't you 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 getting 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 all carried buckets, waiting in a long queue to buy water from these ghosts.

The line to buy water is very long, winding up from the bottom of the building and circling the building again and again.

More than a dozen fire-candle ghosts in firefighting uniforms were laughing and holding water taps at the buckets and washbasins of the water buyers, filling them with water.

The water was swirling, and the water quality was yellowish. I don't know if it was pond water or well water drawn from somewhere.

The first fire candle ghost is obviously the leader of this group of people, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks protruding ears, lying lazily on a large recliner, holding a police cap in his hand, and putting it on his belly, asking the water buyer to put money in it .

"A bucket of water costs 50 cents, no one is cheating, everyone consciously queues up!"

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

"You go!"

"Next person!"

A thin woman with patches on her clothes came up with a large bucket, and the Candle Ghost filled her bucket with water from the faucet.

Soon the bucket was filled with water, and the thin woman came to Zhao Feng'er, took out a handful of dirty coins from her pocket, made up enough fifty cents, and put them into the open police cap with some reluctance.

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

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

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

"I said you paid the wrong amount for water." Zhaofeng Ermei squinted and said, "You give me fifty cents to buy a bucket of water, but your wooden bucket is a bit higher than the average person's! "

While talking, Zhao Feng'er stood up from the recliner, then took out a tape measure from his pocket, inserted it into the bucket and measured the height, "Look, there's a full three centimeters extra!"

The thin woman looked flustered.

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

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

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

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this scene, and the drinking water that was extremely precious in their hearts was wasted by Zhao Feng'er indifferently.

After the water flowed to a certain level, Zhao Feng'er let go of his feet, and the bucket was a little shallower.

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

After Zhao Fenger finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the people in Shek Kip Mei,

Everyone in Shi Kip Mei also looked at him, their eyes were full of anger.

This gang of torch ghosts likes to take advantage of the fire to rob. Shek Kip Mei has no water to eat, so they ask for a lot of money, and take some river and well water to fool them, especially the leader, who is the most hateful!

Seeing so many people staring at him, Zhao Feng was not afraid at all, instead he pointed his finger at everyone's nose with his belly shy, and scolded: "Why don't you applaud? Look at your expression now? Dead parents, or dead son?"

Everyone was silent and stared at him.

"Hey, don't be ignorant! You have no water to eat, and only I have brought five big water trucks to rescue you. If I pull the water back, you are all finished!"

"Dog thing, stop talking nonsense here!" Third brother Liu suddenly stood up, "Aren't you trying to make money by pulling water here?"

"Yeah, it's so annoying to suck our blood just by breaking the water!" Uncle Prawn also stood up.

The anger accumulated for so many days was finally ignited.

Zhaofeng laughed, facing these poor ghosts, he was confident in kicking them out.

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

Uncle Da Xia, Brother Liu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Thirty thousand yuan is simply an astronomical figure for them.

Although they have more than 8,000 households together, they really can't make up 30,000 yuan.

Seeing that everyone was deflated, Zhao Fenger became even more complacent, "How about it, can't you get it out? Since you can't get it out, just shut up for me! If you have money, you are the master, if you don't have money, eat shit!"

But before Zhao Feng'er 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 the lame phoenix!

Shek Kip Mei, the most loyal son and daughter!
