45. Citizens of Great Powers
In 1984, after negotiations between China and the UK, the timetable for Xiangjiang to return to the motherland was determined. Although the return was a foregone conclusion, it is still restricted to go to Xiangjiang with a mainland passport. Su Budong’s Japanese passport is not listed here.
Therefore, Zhang Yang and Liu Zhi were unable to accompany him, and even a few bodyguards could not accompany him. It was not impossible, but it was too troublesome and the visa was too long. The time required by Baliang was too urgent. In order to save trouble, Su Budong asked them to refund their air tickets and return to China. He and Chen Baliang went to Xiangjiang together.
Su Budong and Chen Baliang took the lead. Before leaving, Su Budong asked Zhang Yang to keep their program catalog. First, he had to keep a good record of history. Second, he had to put it in the archives of the Science and Technology Building to play. During this period, the game magazine asked for an exclusive interview, and Su Budong asked Liu Zhi and Zhang Yang to have an interview. He himself called the game magazine and expressed his verbal apology, saying that he had something to go back to the mainland.
Journalists cannot offend them. This is the perception of being a human being in two lifetimes. These uncrowned kings have wonderful writings. One pen can praise you for being a splendid and defame you.
It takes about 4 hours to fly from Tokyo to Xiangjiang. Su Budong was a little tired after running continuously, and he fell asleep on the plane.
By the time I opened my eyes, the plane was already hovering over the Xiangjiang River.
After getting off the plane, Chen Baliang took Subdong to board a black Audi and then drove towards the LC area of Xiangjiang.
The car is driving on the left, so the driver is on the right, which makes Su Budong, who is used to mainland life, always feel a little awkward.
Su Budong once read some books from the Republic of China. In 1943, China and Britain signed a new contract, abolished the unequal treaties of the late Qing government and abolished the extraterritorial powers of the great powers in China. At that time, the government wanted to take back Xiangjiang. At that time, Xiangjiang was not a financial capital, but just a second-class city without any support. The people of Xiangjiang were eager to return to the embrace of the motherland one day earlier. As an old empire, the British Emperor said that this matter could be discussed, but the road had to be taken step by step.
The Opium War turned China from a first-class empire into a piece of fat trampled by the great powers. This was the pain and sensitive nerves in the hearts of all Chinese people. I didn’t expect that the British Emperor had delayed for more than half a century, and it was only for sure that in the 1980s, the return of Xiangjiang was for sure. Those who fought bloody battles by ancestors of all generations were just to restore the glory of our China standing on the top of the world.
Our country and our people, the unification idea created by the five thousand years of history, inherited by future generations, is the mission and responsibility given by countless ancestors...
When I arrived at a tube building in the old city, the driver opened the car door and asked two people to come down.
Chen Baliang took the lead in front, and Su Budong followed behind. The old elevator made a creaking sound. He went all the way to the 8th floor.
Two men in brocade Tang suits stood with their hands behind their backs when they walked every five steps in the narrow aisle. When they saw Chen Baliang, they bowed their heads and bowed.
"Hello, Master Eight."
"Hello, Master Eight."
Chen Ba showed no expression on both sides and just walked forward. Su Budong also looked at him without squintingly and kept following him.
After walking about thirty meters, I reached the end of the aisle. An elegant middle-aged man stood at the door.
"Master Eight, are you here?"
Chen Baliang nodded, "Are you guys inside?"
"Hey, I have played mahjong all night and haven't slept yet." said the elegant middle-aged man. He glanced at Su Budong and asked, "Who is this?"
Chen Baliang smiled but didn't speak, while Su Budong looked at his eyes and nose, and did not answer.
Chen Baliang said to Su Budong: "Let's wait here."
Su Budong said, "Okay."
After a while, I heard the movement of the room inside, and the sound of the chair moving. Then I walked out of the inside and saw Chen Baliang, and smiled: "I didn't win or lose today, I won't play anymore." After saying that, I greeted the middle-aged man and left by myself.
But he heard the inside scolding: "When someone is in a hurry, he will leave mahjong, how can he play? Adong finds someone else to come."
The middle-aged man politely opened the door and made a call.
Chen Baliang and Su Budong walked in and saw one person sitting in the east and south, two men and one woman sitting in the south, the old man sitting in the south was about seventy years old, on the left was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and on the right was a man wearing sunglasses.
"I've seen you guys." Chen Baliang waved his hand carelessly.
The old man sitting in the main seat in the south laughed and scolded: "It's big or small, come here to rub us a few times."
Baliang said with a smile: "I don't know how to use Paijiu Mahjong."
"The people in the auditorium don't even know how to do this, forget their roots." The old man glanced at Su Budong. "Do you do it?"
Su Budong glanced at Chen Baliang, and Baliang smiled and said, "It will be better if I do it, but I won't be able to do it."
Su Budong asked, "How big is it to play?"
"One dollar." The old man seemed to be smiling.
When Su Budong heard that the amount was not large, he said, "Then I understand a little, but I don't know what the rules are here in Xiangjiang."
"Little slippery." The other two laughed and scolded. They told him how to play Mahjong in Hong Kong.
Mahjong is originally a national skill, and it only takes those ways of playing over and over again. So Su Budong quickly understood and started the first round.
I don’t know if Su Budong just came up and was too furious, so he fired fire and gave it to three companies one after another. He lost more than ten yuan at once.
Su Budong's face did not change his color, and he didn't care about the winner or lose of more than ten yuan. Even tens of thousands of yuan was nothing.
Then he lost more than ten yuan.
The beautiful woman who sat down at home saw that he had lost money, so she couldn't help saying, "Little brother, if you don't have a good time, you can avoid playing cards you can't see on the table."
Su Budong just wanted to finish the game quickly and talk to someone here, but it would be okay to just say it.
Who knew that the more he wanted to lose, the more he could not lose. When the third lap began, he actually started to win cards. His hands were so smooth that it was out of control. Once, he actually found a 128-game series, and the three companies lost ones. In other words, he won more than 100 yuan at once.
The old man who had been silent could not sit still. When Su Budong won the fourth lap, he pushed the card. "I'm old, I won't play anymore."
Su Budong smiled and collected the Hong Kong dollars in front of him and threw them to Baliang. "Your dividend."
Chen Baliang glanced at him and cursed with a smile: "Belief." After saying that, he solemnly put the steel away.
Several other people sitting were watching Su Budong.
Su Budong touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Why, I have gray on my face?"
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in teenagers, it is true."
Subu Dongpin tasted a little, and felt that the beautiful woman had something to say, so she put the chips she won back. "Today is the first time I met you all. Although I didn't bring any gifts, I always feel sorry for you after winning. Why not buy some morning tea?"
The man in sunglasses wanted to get the money and said with a smile: "This child knows etiquette."
But the old man glared back at a glance. "Are you sure you want to use the money to treat us some morning tea?"
