0162 [Water shortage!]

Causeway Bay, tenement buildings.

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

Shi Yufeng stood in front of the fitting mirror, wearing a newly purchased women's Tang suit, looking around, twisting her body from time to time, and pulling at the lower hem 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 look good in anything you wear!"

"Tsk, it's not sincere at all to be as beautiful as a flower!"

Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes at the thin man, smoothed her waist with her hands, and took a breath to calm down her slightly awkward belly, "If you were willing to show off your ability to coax Miss Nie, I wouldn't be so dry and helpless.

Feel it."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean - if you don't tell me, it depends on whether someone realizes it or not." After Shi Yufeng finished speaking, she thought her new clothes were pretty good, so she went to comb Bao'er's hair and braid it while lame.

Bao'er held her beloved doll and braided the doll's hair.

Shi Zhijian waited for another long time and couldn't help but urge, "Are you ready? I'm not going back to my parents' house!"

"How could I 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 intended to tell his elder sister Shi Yufeng what he knew about the current situation in Shek Kip Mei from Xiu Yuming, but he was afraid that Xiu Yuming would exaggerate. Besides, it was a pleasure to go back and have a look, not because

My random guessing made my sister feel bad.

So Shi Zhijian couldn't bear to say anything. Instead, he told his elder sister Shi Yufeng that he would attend a very special celebration party tonight. Many big stars would show up and asked Shi Yufeng if she wanted to go with him.

Shi Yufeng was busy packing up the various gifts in the car, and said: "This is the Tiger Bone Brand Drink that Uncle Prawn asked for. He has a bad waist. When he left last time, he said that this brand is good and can be used with just one wipe."

It lasted for several days!"

"This is the toilet water from GF Yangfa that Mrs. Qinglin asked for. They say that this brand not only smells great, but can also relieve itching."

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

"There is also the Western medicine Amoxicillin that Mrs. Zhu wants. Her poor Taoist friend is determined to die and lies in bed hanging for life all day long. I heard that this Western medicine can reduce inflammation!"

"By the way, A Jian, what did you just say?" Shi Yufeng packed up the gifts, large and small, and raised her head and asked Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, "I said there is a celebration party tonight, held by Shaw Brothers Film Company at Shaw Brothers Studios. Do you want to go?"

"Nonsense! Of course I would love to go see the big stars!" Shi Yufeng almost jumped up in excitement. Fortunately, the car was relatively short.

"You guy, why are you telling 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 Chen Baozhu that I like? I must ask her for her autograph!"

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

"There should be, she is also from Shaw Brothers, we will find out when we go over tonight!"

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

Baoer giggled, "I'm happy too. If you buy me a hamburger, I'll be even happier!"

Shi Yufeng poked Bao'er's head with her finger, "What kind of hamburgers do Chinese people eat? None of the hamburgers invented by the ghost guy is good! A steamed bun with a sausage costs two yuan, which is life-threatening! When you get home, I will make buns for you.

, Big meat stuffing!”

Shi Yufeng was rarely happy, and she made up her mind to dress beautifully to meet her idol tonight. But this outfit was not enough, and it was okay to go back to Shek Kip Mei to visit her relatives. Attending such a big banquet would definitely embarrass the younger brother, otherwise

, spend money to buy a new dress?

Shi Yufeng felt a twinge of pain at the thought of spending money.



Shek Kip Mei, slum.

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

I saw five large fire trucks parked in the center of the building. The poor people in Shek Kip Mei all carried buckets and lined up in a long queue to buy water from these fire-candling ghosts.

The queue to buy water was very long, winding up from downstairs and circling around the building.

More than a dozen flamethrowers in firefighting uniforms were laughing and pointing the taps at the buckets and washbasins of water buyers, filling them with water.

The water was swirling and turning yellow. I didn't know whether it was pond water or well water pumped from somewhere.

The first Huo Zhugui was obviously the leader of this group of people. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and windy ears. He was lying lazily on a large recliner. He had a police hat in his hand and put it on his belly, asking the water buyer to put money in it.

.

"A bucket of water costs 50 cents, no bullies are allowed, everyone should queue up!"

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

"Good riddance!"

"Next one!"

A thin woman with patched clothes came up carrying a big bucket, and Huo Zhugui took a faucet and filled her bucket with water.

Soon the bucket was filled with water, and the thin woman came to Zhao Feng'er, took out a crumpled fifty cents from her arms, and put it reluctantly into the open police hat.

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

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Feng'er suddenly stretched out his leg to stop her, "Isn't the number wrong?"

The thin woman was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"I said you paid the wrong amount for water." Zhao Feng Er Ni said with a sideways glance, "You gave me fifty cents to buy a bucket of water, but the wooden bucket you filled with water was a bit higher than the average person's!

"

As he spoke, Zhao Feng Er stood up from the recliner, took out a tape measure from his arms, inserted it into the bucket and measured the height, "Look, it's three centimeters more!"

The thin woman looked panicked.

"Hey, I'm always very fair in my dealings. I'll give you two cents for the extra water. How about that? It's interesting!"

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

"No money? What are you doing? Learn how to carry such a big bucket?!" Zhao Feng Er said, holding the police belt around his waist with both hands, stretching out his feet to step on the edge of the bucket, slowly tilting the bucket slightly, and the contents inside

The water gushes out and flows to the ground!

Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes. Drinking water, which was extremely precious in their hearts, was wasted by Zhao Feng Er without caring at all.

When the flow reached a certain level, Zhao Feng Er released his feet and saw that 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, the price is fair and the portion is fair!"

After Zhao Feng Er finished speaking, he turned to look at the people in Shi Kip Wei,

Everyone in Shik Kipwei also looked at him, their eyes filled with anger.

This group of Huozhuggui likes to take advantage of the fire. When there is no water to eat in Shek Kip Mei, they ask for high prices and randomly draw water from rivers and wells to fool them. Especially the leader is the most abominable!

Zhaofeng Er was not afraid at all when he saw so many people staring at him. Instead, he pointed his finger at everyone's noses and scolded: "Why don't you applaud? Look at your expression now. Are your parents dead, or your son?"

Everyone was silent and stared at him.

"Hey, don't be ungrateful! You have no water to eat. I am the only one who brought five water trucks to rescue you. If I take this water back, you will all be finished!"

"You bitch, stop talking nonsense here!" Brother Liu San suddenly stood up, "Aren't you trying to make money by bringing 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.

Zhao Feng Er smiled, facing these poor people, he was confident of kicking them to death.

"What, you don't accept it? If you don't accept it, just build your own water tower! Oh, by the way, you are all so poor. A pond costs 30,000 yuan, can you afford it?!"

Uncle Da Xia, Liu Sange and others looked at each other.

Thirty thousand yuan is simply an astronomical figure to them.

Even though there are more than 8,000 households in total, they really can't come up with 30,000 yuan.

Seeing that everyone was defeated, Zhao Feng Er became even more complacent and said, "What, you can't take it out? Since you can't take it out, just shut up! If you have money, you are the boss. If you don't have money, you will eat shit!"

But before Zhao Feng Er could finish feeling proud, he heard a voice saying: "Thirty thousand yuan? I have it!"

While he was talking, he saw a woman limping forward.

Shi Yufeng!

Also known as Lame Phoenix!

Shek Kip Mei, the most loyal son and daughter!
