Being accidentally targeted slightly disrupted Gu Kun's rhythm, but overall it was harmless.
He had to spend an extra two or three days in Kuching to plan various preparations and escape routes.
That night, he originally wanted to take Gu Pan to a hotel to stay temporarily, but when he was leaving Xichun Garden, Lin Ying pulled him back and insisted on introducing him to a hotel called "Lijing Hotel".
Gu Kun was startled at that time, and the dilapidated and terrifying scene in Zhou Xingxing's "Domestic Lingling Paint" almost appeared in his mind. Later, he learned that there are so many famous stores in Nanyang called various Lijing.
Lin Ying promised him that although this hotel was not big or luxurious, it was absolutely clean and comfortable. It was not far next door and was also owned by her family.
These are not the things that attract Gu Kun. The key is that Lin Ying finally said that if you take the Xichun Garden business card written by her, you can check in without registering an ID card.
Gu Kun really doesn’t want to leave any accommodation registration record in Kuching just yet.
So he could only slap him in the face once.
After a peaceful night's stay, Gu Kun started making plans to buy a house in Kuching's Chinese district starting the next day.
After all, if you want to transfer your sister to another school, you need to register your address information first. If you don’t have a house, it will be much more difficult to transfer, and maybe they won’t accept it.
As a result, after looking at several housing listings, Gu Kun was so upset that the house prices in Kuching in 1994 were much more expensive than those in Guangdong.
Considering that he had no plans to develop in this poor place and just needed a "safe house", Gu Kun finally chose to buy a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room within one kilometer of the Chung Hwa First Secondary School in Kuching.
30 square meters, and cost 30,000 ringgit.
Converted into RMB, it is equivalent to 70,000 yuan, which means it is more expensive than his 60-square-meter house in the southern suburbs of Guangdong Province, but the area is half the size. The average price is equivalent to 2,400 yuan per square meter (with furnishings)
.
The key is that China's economy will continue to grow rapidly in the future, and houses in Guangdong will easily increase dozens of times in a few decades.
Houses in Kuching and even Kuala Lumpur will rise several times at most in the next few decades. The key is that when Soros came in 1997/98, they would first depreciate.
What a loss.
"Forget it, just think that this is not an investment, but a consumption. Let my sister An Ansheng study for two years. Even if I want to buy a property in Malaysia in the future, I have to wait until after the bloodbath in 1998, otherwise it will be a huge loss."
The moment the transaction was completed, Gu Kun complained in his heart.
After buying the house, Gu Kun made arrangements for his sister to transfer to another school, giving her money and extra money.
The legal system in Nanyang is not very sound to begin with, and there are many things like backdoor relationships among the Chinese community.
In the end, Lin Ying basically told him who to look for, and Gu Kun spent more than 10,000 ringgit on his own to clear the way. He also pretended that he was from Lan Fang and wanted to be a new immigrant, and finally got his sister into Kuching Chinese.
No. 1 Middle School.
However, because he is a foreigner, he can only be counted as a loan student for the time being, and he will have to go through a lot of trouble when he graduates. Moreover, the first payment is only equivalent to the school selection fee, and the tuition will be calculated separately in the future.
It can be seen from this that education in capital-intensive countries is really expensive. It only costs 20 square meters to study in the best high school in the city. If it were left to China in the future, and then it would be aristocratic and private education, paying the school selection fee, it would also be
Don't lose half of a small house.
…
After successfully sending his sister to the new school, Gu Kun could finally breathe a sigh of relief. During the rest of the day, he non-stop checked Long Wu and their crew's preparations for sailing, and gave some instructions along the way.
He was busy until the afternoon. Seeing that his sister was about to finish school, he responsibly went to pick her up and take her home.
Gu Pan is almost 15 years old, so of course there is no problem in going to and from school by himself. Gu Kun just considers that he is not familiar with the place where he lives. It is his first day, so he wants to see the surrounding environment in person and evaluate whether there are too many people from different religions and people.
By the way, let's see if the teacher is reliable. From now on, he will definitely be completely free and will not care about my sister's school affairs.
For this reason, he spent more than two thousand lings on a cheap motorcycle in the morning.
I won’t be living in Kuching forever, so there is no need to buy a car, which costs tens of thousands. A motorcycle is just right for transportation, and it can be easily parked at home, and you don’t have to worry about having to build a garage if it is idle all year round.
Moreover, you don’t need a driver’s license to drive a motorcycle in Kuching. You only need to go to the vehicle management office to get a license plate, which is more convenient.
When Gu Kun arrived at the school gate, it was about 3:30 in the afternoon. After waiting for a while, school was over. He watched from a distance and soon saw his sister.
"Let's go, get in the back seat." Gu Kun raised the windshield of his motorcycle helmet and waved his head in greeting.
"Brother, why are you so nice?" Gu Pan didn't expect her brother to come to pick her up, so she jumped into the back seat.
This was completely a subconscious and instinctive action. She didn't react until she got into the back seat and awkwardly turned around to say goodbye: "Sister Lin, let's go first. Please be careful on the road."
It turned out that she and Lin Ying went to school together.
After all, it was Lin Ying who introduced her to transfer here. On the first day of school, she was not familiar with the others.
"I'm very close, so be careful." Lin Ying waved her hand generously, indicating that they don't need to mind.
Gu Kun nodded in greeting, then stepped on the accelerator and disappeared.
Gu Pan was behind, grabbing his brother's waist, and asked casually: "Brother, does that Sister Lin have a crush on you? Or did you take the initiative to hook up with her on the first day we came here?"
Gu Kun replied coldly: "Stop imagining things. We were targeted by others, so we came to Kuching for temporary refuge. Why do you think so much? I don't want to leave any bonds in this city that I can't bear to break. We don't belong here."
."
Gu Pan was actually sensible. He was silent for a few seconds before explaining: "You are a person who often goes to sea. You don't belong to any city at all. I will study in high school here for two years, and you will always come here often."
It depends on me, right?
Two years is not a short period of time. If you really can have something with Sister Lin, as long as everyone is happy and have a good time in the past two years, I am quite in favor of it. I think she is quite cheerful and beautiful."
"What does the little girl know? She didn't think deeply about liking someone like me. She is just ignorant and wants to see the outside world and associate with well-informed people." Gu Kun exposed his feelings in one sentence.
The cognition of the warbler.
A 16-year-old high school sophomore girl knows what love is, but others just find it exciting.
However, this kind of arbitrariness made Gu Pan very dissatisfied: "You are a man, and you are not at a disadvantage. Girls don't think so far, why do you think so much? If you ask me, just let her know who you are.
For such a person, if she doesn't care about you running around and not being able to stay together forever, and doesn't care about these things, then shouldn't she just get married?
Besides, they also helped us with a few small favors, and they will probably take care of me in school in the future. Even if you are thanking me, you should still look good on them."
Gu Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head, too lazy to argue with his sister.
However, Gu Pan's last sentence is also reasonable. It is better to repay the favor as soon as possible.
After returning to his new home, he ate some simple food. After dinner, Gu Kun took out his cell phone and sent Lin Ying a text message.
Of course, he just bought the mobile phone yesterday. He bought three in total. He and his sister each kept one, and the other one was given to Long Wu.
Malaysian mobile phones are cheaper than those in China. The same Nokia 1011 only costs 3,500 ringgit, which is only equivalent to more than 8,000 yuan.
As a high school student, Gu Pan was not supposed to use a mobile phone, but Gu Kun considered that their family was often prone to emergencies, and having a mobile phone made it easier to contact them and notify them in time. In addition, a mobile phone born in 1994 could not play games, so it would not delay study.
I just gave it to my sister too - if Gu Pan had had a mobile phone three days ago, then Long Wu wouldn't have had to physically sneak in to notify her of running away, a phone call would have allowed her to avoid danger.
As for the mobile phone given to Long Wu, even this time Long Wu and Chen Li received a series of rewards for loyalty and outstanding performance.
A mobile phone is equivalent to one and a half months' basic salary for the couple combined. This bonus is enough to win over people's hearts. When Long Wu got the machine, he said to Gu Kun that he would definitely continue to work hard.
.
Stop talking nonsense.
In a nutshell, the content of Gu Kun's text message was to say goodbye to Lin Ying and give her some small and not-so-expensive gifts as a thank you for her help these days.
Lin Ying replied quickly and gave him an address and asked him to wait downstairs there.
Gu Kun knew that this was the address of Lin Ying's home, and it was indeed not far from Xichun Garden and the hotel.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the other party's downstairs just like a couple, and soon a petite black figure slipped down.
"Thank you for your help. I will ask you to take care of my sister from now on. I know your family is in good condition and you don't need anything. I'll give you some gadgets." Gu Kun said, took out a gift box and handed it to the other party.
Lin Ying flipped up her long hair with slanted bangs: "It's too dark here. Go find a place to drink nearby and slowly unpack it."
"Why don't you go home and unpack it? Will your parents not care about you when you go out at night?" Gu Kun was a little uneasy. He didn't want to cause trouble.
Lin Ying smiled slyly: "My dad is in Xichun Garden, and my mom has gone to collect the rent - in my hotel, several households rent it long-term at a discounted price, and the monthly payment is due."
It turns out that this is a family where the father rents the house and the wife rents the house.
Lin Ying led Gu Kun on the familiar road, walked a few hundred meters, found a cafe at the intersection of the Sarawak River, and went in to order a cup of coffee and milk tea.
Then she gently opened the gift packaging and found some dolls and the like inside.
It was a set of genuine figures authorized by SNK Japan. They were all female characters from the arcade game "The King of Fighters". Gu Kun bought them at the largest shopping mall in Kuching today.
He gave this thing because he also considered that girls might like cute little toys. At the same time, people who don't know the goods will think that this kind of figure is very cheap, and there will be no psychological pressure when receiving the gift. And when they understand this
The gadgets are actually not that cheap, and the favor has been paid off after I have already collected them.
When she saw the figure of Mai Shiranui wearing a V-shaped chest wrap, Lin Ying frowned slightly and her face turned slightly red, a little embarrassed. But soon she noticed another figure of a red sailor school uniform, and she quickly relieved
Embarrassed.
"Ah! You said I look very much like this game character, right? I really do. Her name is Asamiya Athena. But I'm not as beautiful as her."
Lin Ying was actually very happy, but she still pretended to be hypocritical like a middle school girl saying, "I didn't read last night, so I'm going to be dead in the exam today."
Gu Kun was very satisfied with the effect: "Then I like it, just like it. I'm going to sea tomorrow, so I'd like to say goodbye to you today."
