Chapter 5 What's so great about it?
Chapter 5 What's so great about it?
"Don't do that next time."
Li Kang said to him seriously.
I sighed in my heart, "Children from incomplete families have a worse life than left-behind children."
Without parental restraint, all kinds of bad habits are inevitable.
Li Kang saw through this and did not blame Liu Lang too much.
When this kid was leaving Xishuangbanna, he teamed up with a group of kids who had not gone to school to rob a tobacco dealer of all his cigarettes.
"Brother Kang, do you think I'm a bad person?"
"You don't have a father to supervise you, so it's normal for you to learn bad things from others.
Don’t learn bad behavior next time you see your father. "
This was the first time Liu Lang encountered such a gentle sermon.
In the past, the elders would beat him up if he made a mistake, or scold him as if he had committed a crime.
“That old candy seller is not a good guy.
He used to bully girls in our school and nothing happened.”
"Then why don't you report him to the police and have him arrested?" Li Kang didn't expect there was any hidden story.
"It's no use reporting it to the police. There's no evidence to arrest him."
"If Lao Ba Pi gives those people some money, everything will be fine."
Li Kang still comforted him, "Smoke less cigarettes, and take the remaining ones to Shanghai to sell.
Yunyan is still a popular brand in Shanghai."
There is definitely money to be made by reselling things at this time.
Yunyan is very popular in the Shanghai area. The local Liqun and Double Happiness are no match for Yunyan.
Huazi is really not that good, he was just praised by his leaders.
In order to increase sales, local cigarette factories strictly restricted the import of cigarettes from other places, otherwise the national cigarette market might be overwhelmed by Yunnan cigarettes.
The small quantity means that the price of Yunyan is much higher than that in Yunnan.
A cigarette that costs one or two yuan there may be sold for five yuan in Shanghai.
How is it possible that no one knows about such a high price difference?
So some people secretly started reselling the products.
It costs at least a few hundred yuan to make a round trip.
But the risks are also high. If you are caught, you will be sentenced to at least three years in prison.
Li Kang thought, "It shouldn't be a problem if I buy it once in a while."
"Move aside, what are you doing blocking the door? I need to go to the bathroom."
A man carrying an old briefcase said in a heavy tone.
Li Kang frowned. This man spoke so harshly.
Make room for others.
As soon as the door opened, the smell scared Li Kang so much that he hid far away.
He was smoking there before, and I didn't smell anything inside.
There is actually such a thing.
This man and I really have the same taste.
The middle-aged man pinched his nose and closed the door.
The green trains and toilets of today are incomparable to those in the era when he lived.
It stinks like hell.
The pipeline is open.
You can see the rails on the ground, and everything pulled out is directly discharged onto the ground.
When the weather is good, you can also see fruits such as cucumbers, tomatoes and even watermelons on the rails.
If you come across it, just don't eat it.
Seeing that Li Kang had finished smoking the one in his mouth, Liu Lang handed him another one.
"This is the last one. Smoking too much does no good, but it does a lot of harm."
Li Kang reminded him and let him light it.
"Brother Kang? Haven't you tried it?"
Liu Lang leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't we have that?"
He threw the weapon in his hand away and stepped on it to put it out.
"You almost killed me."
Li Kang snatched the remaining half of the bag from him and said, "I warn you, this thing is not a joke.
"Throw away the rest. If you don't, we'll separate now."
"From now on you go your way and I go mine. We won't know each other." Li Kang turned hostile without any room for negotiation.
"Brother Kang, don't be angry. This is all normal."
"Even if there is one, throw it away. You don't want to be arrested just after meeting your father."
These words really worked. Although Liu Lang was reluctant, he was ready to throw it away compared to seeing his father.
"Don't throw it away. If someone picks it up and smokes it, there's still a risk."
"After we get off the train, we'll find a place to throw away the cigarettes."
Li Kang had always been a good student in his previous life.
Although he is a bit rebellious, he never makes mistakes when it comes to major issues.
I am still worried about it.
Fortunately, he found me, otherwise I would have been killed by this kid.
The toilet door opened at the right time, bringing Li Kang back to reality.
The middle-aged man came out and met Liu Lang's eyes.
Liu Lang was also a little surprised and looked into the man's eyes.
"What are you looking at!" The man subconsciously grasped the old briefcase tightly, as if it were a treasure.
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you? Tsk~"
Seeing that Liu Lang dared to confront him, the middle-aged man cursed at him in Shanghainese.
People from other places generally don’t understand it.
"Brother Kang, what did he say?"
Li Kang shook his head, "I don't understand."
I didn't understand, but that doesn't mean I can't guess what it was saying.
It means calling them fools and bastards.
The middle-aged man really cursed like that. Seeing the two boys wearing tattered clothes, which were almost as tattered as the rags used at home, he looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.
He was born and raised in Shanghai and lives in the most prosperous city in the country.
There is no other city in the country that can compare to Shanghai today.
"Old boy, if we were in Yunnan, I would beat you to death." Liu Lang looked angry.
Li Kang ignored him and let him curse a few words.
I feel good when I curse enough.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Lang disappeared.
When I saw him again, he was following the middle-aged man to the other end of the carriage.
"Why would Liu Lang follow him? He's not going to fight with that guy, is he?"
This era is more complicated than he had imagined.
"I hope nothing happens."
To be on the safe side, Li Kang followed him.
As soon as I arrived at the other section of the carriage, I met Liu Lang who was walking back.
"Why are you following? Nothing happened, right?"
"Brother Kang, don't worry, it's okay.
Just go over and see where that old guy is sitting."
Li Kang had no idea what Liu Lang was trying to do.
Check out the location!
“I’m telling you, don’t cause trouble for other people.
I don't have much money, but it's enough to support you guys with a meal."
Liu Lang assured him: "Don't worry, Brother Kang, I will never cause any trouble for anyone. If there is any trouble, it will be mine alone."
Seeing that the boy was a little stubborn, Li Kang said no more.
After all, we just met yesterday, and he has already helped a lot.
If I have to sacrifice myself for them, I definitely won't be willing to do that.
The life experiences of two lifetimes have helped him get rid of the naivety of a student in his understanding of the world.
Some people can't change.
Whether you are willing to accept it or not.
For a child like Liu Lang, once he develops some habits, it's like a dog encountering shit.
Unless everyone is like him and changes their soul.
Let the future people hang up.
