Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Shek Kip Mei, a public village house.

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

Last night, he drove home from Hong Kong Island at about three o'clock. As soon as he went to bed, he lay on the bed without even covering the quilt, so he fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night, he had a splitting headache, especially his dry mouth. In desperation, he had to drag his body to get up, find a big bowl, scoop out the water in the bucket, and drink seven or eight bowls of water. Lying on the bed with his ass.

After an unknown period of time, Shi Zhijian glanced at the sky outside the window. It was a little brighter. He wanted to sleep with his eyes closed, but he couldn't sleep because of the headache.

Shi Zhijian was just getting dressed and was about to take a water cup and toothbrush to go out to wash, 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 asked while rubbing his temples.

"The water is going to be cut off in the afternoon, and everyone is rushing to get the water!" Shi Yufeng said, "Also, I picked up a bucket of water last night, but I didn't know it was stolen by someone! I slapped his lungs, Even stealing water these years, I bless his family with wealth!"

Shi Zhijian almost choked to death, "Cough!"

"Hey, have you been drinking and smelling of alcohol? I'll make you a bowl of sober soup later!"

Shi Yufeng's so-called "hangover soup" is actually mashing some leftover leaves from the market and adding some vinegar and boiling it. The taste is not flattering, but it is very helpful for inducing vomiting.

After vomiting, the wine also woke up.

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

After Shi Yufeng finished speaking, without waiting for Shi Zhijian to refuse, she hurriedly took Jiang Meibao to grab the water.

Shi Zhijian chased him out and was taken aback. Everyone in the building was holding pots and pans. Anyone who could hold water was taken out and lined up in the corridor to receive water.

Hong Kong is a place with little water. 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 fire truck from the water tank to provide drinking water to the residents.

Residents lined up, and the fire candle ghost took a spray can and sprayed water on their buckets. A bucket of water cost five cents, and the water quality was so bad that many people ate worms in their stomachs.

Later, it was too difficult for Hong Kong people to drink water. In 1965, Dongjiang water was introduced, which temporarily solved the problem of drinking water for some people.

Now, two years later, Shek Kip Mei, a public village housing area, has another problem with the draft.

It was nothing before. As the population here gradually increased, there was a shortage of water supply.

In addition, the nearby wealthy areas waste too much water. Those concubines and elder sisters can take a bath three or four times a day, and the faucet is not turned off, but they suffer the poor here, in order to reserve enough water for the wealthy area. , they are given time to use water, 135 water supply, 246 gates, and whether there is water or no water on Sundays to see the situation, it is called "four-day water supply".

"Everyone is also human. You drink water and I also drink water. Why do we have to close the gate and cut off the water because those rich people can't finish it?" Shi Yufeng babbled while queuing with Jiang Meibao to get the water.

Shi Zhijian took the water cup and toothbrush and followed. A neighbor who was full of water happened to pass by. Shi Zhijian picked up the water cup and scooped up a glass of water, and said to the man, "Thank you!"

The man glanced at him, very reluctant, as if the water was precious.

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

"Jianshui Tower? Do you have money?" Shi Yufeng felt that the slender man would not have a backache while standing.

"I'll take as much as I need. We are all neighbors, so poor without water!"

"Pity you!" Shi Yufeng scolded, "If you have money, you should leave it to me and save it for you to marry a wife first! Don't always think about pity on others, when will others pity you?"

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

"It costs 30,000 yuan to build a ghost water tower, do you have it?" Shi Yufeng felt that a small pot would not be opened and raised.

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

Every time Shi Yufeng took the money home, Shi Yufeng would yell, thinking that it was a small man who embezzled public funds to draw water, so he told Shi Zhijian to draw less water, don't be found out, and he would be finished if he was caught.

Shi Zhijian can only reiterate that he opened the factory himself and earned all the money himself.

Shi Yufeng couldn't believe it, so Shi Zhijian had no choice but to say that those were all rewards from Master Xu. Young Master Xu was very stupid, and he gave too many rewards at one time.

Shi Yufeng also thought that Young Master Xu was an idiot, if he gave him some sweetness, it would be thousands of dollars bigger, and his head was so funny! He exclaimed how to spend so much money, it seems that the Shi family's ancestors are blessed, and the Shi family is going to develop.

It can be said that the current Shi Yufeng is a secret "little rich woman" in Shek Kipwei, but she is very low-key, afraid of others borrowing money, and afraid of others stealing money, so few people know that she is now bulging.

As for whether the old lady who became a "little rich woman" is willing to spend 30,000 yuan to help the big guy build the 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 dollars a month, how can someone who even picks up leftovers and leaves be so generous and selfless to give out 30,000 yuan? !

"Let's wait until the factory situation is stable." Shi Zhijian glanced at the people who were queuing for water in the whole building, helping the old and the young, each of them seemed helpless for life, and he had a care in his heart, and then he took the money to build a water tower. It should be.

Born and raised in Sri Lanka.

This is home!

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

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was taken aback.

"Eh what eh? I know that you help Master Xu and open any factories, but your niece is going to school today, so you can come together!"

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

"Thank you for remembering." Shi Yufeng rolled his eyes at him.

Bao'er also touched Shi Zhijian's arm: "Little uncle, you have to accompany me to school today, otherwise I will be unhappy!"

"Of course," Shi Zhijian crouched down and pinched the little girl's face with his hand, "Little uncle, I'm going to investigate at your school to see if your school is pretty and if anyone is bullying you!"

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

Shi Zhijian hooked her fingers with her: "The hook cannot be changed for 100 years!"

"Oh, my uncle promises me!" Jiang Meibao almost jumped up with joy holding the big steamer.

"Damn girl, be careful! We only have such a steamer in our house!"

……

There are too many poor people in Shek Kip Mei~www.readwn.com~ It takes a long time to receive water.

Shi Yufeng finally filled up a large bucket of water, and then went to the big steamer that Bao'er was holding, and filled the steamer with water.

Shi Yufeng limped with the bucket, Shi Zhijian helped carry the steamer, and Baoer clapped his hands and jumped after him.

Before the family got home, they met "Zhu Sanpo", the grandmother of the neighbor "Dao Youming".

Dao Youming is a well-known gangster in this area. Because he has sucked too much of that kind of thing, his arms are thin and hemp sticks, and he has no flesh all over his body. Let alone water, even eating is a problem when lying in bed.

In desperation, Dao Youming's grandmother "Zhu Sanpo" had to lean on crutches and carry a bucket out, ready to line up to collect water.

When Shi Yufeng saw the third wife, she shouted: "Why are you coming out to do it? You are so old, you can't stay at home well, if you fall and die, your street basher will really go to the street! "

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

"Take a ghost! You don't even have the strength to speak, and your mouth is almost watery!" Shi Yufeng muttered, "Don't move anymore, I don't want to pay another piece of silk gold!"

Shi Yufeng said, slamming, and directly poured the water in her bucket into the Sanpo bucket, "Hey, save some food, the gate will be closed in the afternoon, and people will die if you don't eat it!"

"Thank you, Yufeng!"

"Thank you, ghost! I'm so obsessed with my mind to do such a stupid thing! I'm going to slap your lungs, and I have to queue for a long time!" Shi Yufeng said with his hands on his hips and pointed Shi Zhijian: "What are you looking at?! Take the steamer Enter the house and help the third woman carry the bucket! As for me, I'll go to the queue again!"

Shi Zhijian smiled.

What is called-----

Knife mouth, tofu heart!

This is!
