Chapter 87 087 [Knife Mouth Tofu Heart]

Shek Kip Mei, a public village house.

With a severe headache, Shi Zhijian turned over uncomfortably on the bed.

Last night, he drove home from Hong Kong Island at almost three o'clock. As soon as he got into bed, he lay on the bed directly, and fell asleep without even covering the quilt.

But in the middle of the night, he had a splitting headache, especially dry mouth. In desperation, he had no choice but to drag himself out of bed, find a big bowl, scoop up the water in the bucket, and drink seven or eight bowls. Lie down on the bed with your buttocks.

After some time, Shi Zhijian glanced at the sky outside the window. It was getting brighter. He wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep due to the headache. He had no choice but to endure the headache and got up from the bed, found some clothes and put them on.

Shi Zhijian just got dressed and was about to take a water cup and toothbrush to go out to wash up, when he saw Shi Yufeng dragging his lame leg and carrying a bucket, Jiang Meibao was carrying a large steamer and was about to go out.

"It's just dawn, what are you doing?" Shi Zhijian rubbed his temples and asked.

"The water will be cut off in the afternoon, and everyone is scrambling to get it!" Shi Yufeng said, "Also, I received a bucket of water last night, but someone stole more than half of it! I gave him a lung, Even stealing water these years, I bless his family with prosperity!"

Shi Zhijian almost choked to death, "Ahem!"

"Hey, have you been drinking, smelling like alcohol? I'll make you a hangover soup later!"

Shi Yufeng's so-called "hangover soup" is actually some leftover leaves picked up from the market, smashed and boiled with some vinegar. The taste is not flattering, but it is very good for inducing vomiting.

After vomiting, the wine also woke up.

But if you can't spit it out, you can only urge bile, which will hurt your body.

Shi Yufeng didn't wait for Shi Zhijian to refuse after finishing speaking, and hurriedly took Jiang Meibao to grab the water.

Shi Zhijian chased him out and saw that he was startled. Everyone in the building was holding pots and pans, and everything that could hold water was taken out, and they lined up in the corridor to receive water.

Hong Kong is a place with little water, and the water depends on the sky all year round, so that Hong Kong people have no water to eat for a long time.

At that time, firefighters known as "fire candle ghosts" would drive a firetruck from the waterwheel hall to provide drinking water for residents.

The residents lined up, and the fire candle ghosts took a spray gun and sprayed water on their buckets. A bucket of water cost five cents, and the water quality was bad. Many people had worms in their stomachs after eating it.

Later, it was too difficult for Hong Kong people to drink water. The introduction of Dongjiang water in 1965 temporarily solved the problem of drinking water for some people.

Two years later, Shek Kip Mei, a public village housing area, has encountered another problem in drafting water.

There was nothing before, but as the population here gradually increased, the water supply was somewhat in short supply.

In addition, the waste of water resources in the nearby rich areas is too great. Those aunts and elder sisters can take a bath three or four times a day, and the faucets are turned on and don’t turn off, but it is hard for the poor here. In order to save enough water for the rich areas On their side, water is selected at the right time, water is supplied on one, three, five, and gates are closed on two, four, and six. There is no water on Sundays depending on the situation, which is called "four-day water supply".

"Everyone is human too. You drink water and I drink water. Why do we have to close the gates and cut off the water when the rich can't finish it?" Shi Yufeng was queuing up with Jiang Meibao to get the water while chattering.

Shi Zhijian followed with a water glass and a toothbrush. A neighbor who was full of water just passed by. Shi Zhijian picked up the water glass and scooped a glass of water, and said to the person: "Thank you!"

The man glanced at him, extremely unwilling, as if the water was so precious.

"Why not build a water tower? That would be very convenient!" Shi Zhijian asked while brushing his teeth.

"Building a water tower? Are you rich?" Shi Yufeng felt that the younger brother would not hurt his back when he stood up and talked.

"I'll take as much as I need. We are all neighbors. It's pitiful to have no water to eat!"

"Poor ghost!" Shi Yufeng scolded, "If you have money, you'd better leave it to me and save it for you to marry a wife! Don't always think about pity others, when will others pity you?"

Shi Zhijian didn't dare to speak casually, but couldn't help but said: "Hey, I put some money by your bedside, you take it and use it first - the matter of building the water tower..."

"It costs 30,000 yuan to build a ghost water tower, do you have it?" Shi Yufeng felt that the younger brother would not turn on which pot and which pot to carry.

"Ahem, pretend I didn't say anything." Shi Zhijian took money from his family a lot during this period, but Shi Yufeng saved it all. According to Shi Zhijian's calculation, it was almost 30,000.

Every time she took the money home, Shi Yufeng would yell and yell, thinking it was her younger brother who had embezzled public funds and pumped water, so she told Shi Zhijian to pump less water, don't be found out, and it's over if caught.

Shi Zhijian can only declare again that the factory was opened by himself, and the money was earned by himself.

Shi Yufeng didn't believe it, so Shi Zhijian had no choice but to change his words and say that those were all rewards from Master Xu.

Shi Yufeng also thought that Young Master Xu was a fool, if only he gave him some sweetness, it would be fine, it would be thousands of dollars at every turn, his head is so funny! He also exclaimed how to spend so much money. It seems that the Shi family is blessed by the ancestors, and the Shi family is about to develop.

It can be said that the current Shi Yufeng is secretly a "little rich woman" in Shek Kip Mei, but she is very low-key, afraid of being borrowed or stolen, so few people know that she has a lot of money.

As for whether the old lady who has become a "little rich woman" is willing to spend 30,000 yuan to help the big guy build a water tower, Shi Zhijian can't guarantee it.

After all, Shi Yufeng has always been stingy in his eyes, with a salary of three or four hundred a month, and a person who can even pick up leftovers, how can he be so selfless and give out thirty thousand for nothing? !

"Let's wait until the factory situation is stable. When the time comes, take the old lady over and let her have a look at her factory, so that she can fully understand that this young man is well-off, and help these neighbors by the way!" Shi Zhijian glanced at the whole building. The people who lined up in the building to pick up water, supporting the old and the young, all looked helpless for the sake of living, and they had concerns in their hearts, and it was right to take the money to build a water tower at that time.

Born in Si, grew up in Si.

This is home!

Shi Zhijian kept his mouth shut, but Shi Yufeng couldn't help but said: "There is more, do you have time today?"

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was taken aback.

"Uh, what, eh? I know you are helping Master Xu, and you are opening a factory, but your niece is entering school today, so you should join me anyway!"

"Meibao has changed schools? The St. Paul's Primary School you mentioned last time?" Shi Zhijian was overjoyed.

"Thank you for remembering." Shi Yufeng gave him a blank look.

Bao'er also touched Shi Zhijian's arm: "Little uncle, you have to accompany me to school today, or I won't be happy!"

"Of course." Shi Zhijian knelt down and squeezed the little girl's face with his hands, "Little uncle, I'm going to investigate your school to see if your school is pretty and whether anyone is bullying you!"

"Little uncle, you must mean what you say, come on, pull the hook!" Bao stretched out his little finger.

Shi Zhijian hooked his fingers with her: "The hook cannot be changed for a hundred years!"

"Oh, little uncle promised me!" Jiang Meibao almost jumped up happily holding the big steamer.

"Damn girl, be careful! There's only one steamer in our house!"

...

There are too many poor people in Shek Kip Mei, and they have to wait for half a day to receive water.

Shi Yufeng managed to fill a large bucket of water, and then went to the big steamer held by Bao'er, and filled the steamer with water.

Shi Yufeng limped to carry the bucket, Shi Zhijian helped carry the steamer, and Bao'er followed behind clapping and bouncing.

Before the family returned home, they met the neighbor "Dao Youming"'s grandmother "Sanpo Zhu".

Dao Youming is a well-known gangster in this area, because he sucked too much of that stuff, his arms are as thin as a numb stick, and he doesn't have much flesh on his body, let alone carrying water, and now he can't even eat while lying on the bed.

In desperation, Dao Youming's grandma "Mr. Zhu" had no choice but to come out with a bucket on crutches, ready to line up to fetch water.

Seeing the third wife, Shi Yufeng yelled: "What are you doing out here? You are so old, why don't you stay at home well, if you fall and die, your street-crawler will really hit the street! "

"I'll come out to fetch water." The third woman said weakly.

"Fuck you! You don't even have the strength to speak, and your mouth is watery!" Shi Yufeng nagged, "Don't move anymore, I don't want to pay another piece of silk money!"

Shi Yufeng said, splashing, and directly poured the water in her bucket into the bucket of the third wife, "Hey, save some food, the gate will be closed in the afternoon, and the water will be cut off. If you don't have water, you will die!"

"Thank you, Yufeng!"

"Thank you! I'm crazy to do such a stupid thing! I'm ashamed of you, and I have to stand in line for half a day!" Shi Yufeng said and then instructed Shi Zhijian with her hands on her hips: "What are you looking at?! Take the steamer Go into the house and help the third wife carry the bucket over there! As for me, I will go to line up again!"

Shi Zhijian smiled.

What is called--

Knife mouth, tofu heart!

This is!
