Chapter 858 Xiaoba’s Storm (Second update, please subscribe)
As usual, there was a long queue outside the Nanyang Consulate early in the morning.
Yang Chengjie, holding a Nanyang Camel cigarette in his mouth, stood outside the Nanyang Consulate. Although it was just early April, the weather was at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and he was among the people queuing up for interviews. It made people feel hot and irritated. Not long after, the shirt and trousers he wore were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.
At this time, Yang Chengjie would occasionally look at the long queue in front, wondering when it would be his turn.
Although he went to high school, Yang Chengjie has never been rich. When he was in mainland China, his family was in Suicheng, and a family of four squeezed into the shop in front and back to make ends meet. His father, Yang Chunsheng, was a A shoemaker and several apprentices make a living by making and repairing shoes every day.
Later, he followed others and fled to Hong Kong Island in a daze. The family lived together in one house. His father set up a roadside stall to repair shoes for a living, while his mother worked as a handyman in a teahouse, and his sister also sold refreshments in the teahouse.
Before coming to Hong Kong Island, Yang Chengjie’s family was at the bottom of Suicheng City. Now on Hong Kong Island, like the hundreds of thousands of poor households here, they are still at the bottom of the family here.
Now, Yang Chengjie, who has just graduated from high school, comes to the Nanyang Consulate, just for a chance to change his life.
It should be almost time for me!
At this time, a newsboy waving his voice shouted.
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper. The Nanyang Naval Air Force showed off its sword in the Gulf of Siam and won a great victory in the first battle - a 6-0 victory!"
Seeing the long queue at the door of the consulate, the newsboy asked directly holding the newspaper.
"Sir, you are all going to Nanyang. Look at the news in Nanyang. What a great victory in Nanyang!" There was a roar.
"Down with Nanyang hegemonism..."
Then, a group of people from Wu Yangyang rushed over holding banners. Upon seeing this, the uniformed police at the door of the consulate quickly blew their whistles.
Amidst the piercing whistle, the people who were originally in line dispersed with a coax, but Yang Chengjie did not disperse. Instead, he took advantage of the long queue to disperse and ran towards the gate of the consulate. When the door was about to close, Yang Chengjie squeezed into the consulate while the door was closing.
Before Yang Chengjie could take a breath, the shouts behind him became louder, and along with the shouts, things like bricks flew in. The police outside the door held up shields and blew whistles to try to disperse them.
And inside the gate, a group of military police wearing military uniforms and holding weapons were rushing into the courtyard from the consulate. The leading officer saw Yang Chengjie standing there blankly and pulled him over.
"Hurry in, there is danger here."
Finally, Yang Chengjie entered the consulate. Now, no matter how chaotic it is outside, it has nothing to do with him.
In the consulate, there are still many people like him who come here to apply for visas. Nowadays, many people from Hong Kong Island go to Nanyang to work and make money. Of course, many people go to Nanyang to study. , after all, the universities there do not charge tuition fees.
“Okay, you can go to Nanyang to study at university!”
When Yang Chengjie breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was waiting with great anticipation to see the visa officer, there was still a crowd outside the consulate. wind and rain.
Wind and rain were actually just a minor episode, irrelevant to the overall situation. A few hours later, when Yang Chengjie left the consulate, there was nothing else outside the consulate except for the mess on the street. Others.
Occasionally, he could see a few hawkers passing by on the street. Yang Chengjie didn't care at all. At this time, he seemed a little excited, and he could finally go to Nanyang to study at university.
On the way home, when passing by the cinema, Yang Chengjie glanced at the cinema out of habit. The posters outside the cinema door were very eye-catching, and there was a huge poster sign above the door.
A man and a woman stare at each other, and the four characters "Dangerous Liaisons" below are extremely eye-catching. This is a movie from Nanyang. In fact, at least half of the movie posters posted in the cinema are Nanyang movies.
In the past few years, Nanyang movies have long replaced Shanghai movies and become popular in Hong Kong Island. Not only popular in Hong Kong Island, but also in Macau, Bay Island, as well as South Korea, Japan, South Vietnam, etc. In this country, Nanyang movies are generally popular.
Many young people in Hong Kong are familiar with Nanyang movie stars. For example, Jeanne, the heroine of "Dangerous Liaisons", is the female star that Yang Chengjie likes very much. She plays the role in the movie that she is beautiful in appearance but has a heart that is so beautiful. A slutty young woman.
Although the newspaper received rave reviews for the movie and praised Jeanne's acting skills, Yang Chengjie has not watched the movie because...it costs money to watch movies.
"With this money, why not go to the teahouse and watch TV..." With this thought in his mind, Yang Chengjie rushed to the teahouse. Of course, he was not here to drink tea, but to work as a waiter. There were not many customers in the teahouse. Apart from a few sparse tables of guests, there were more than a dozen waiters. Most of them stood at the edge of the hall, watching the 17-inch TV.
Yang Chengjie, who had changed into a teahouse waiter's shirt, also came to the lobby. His sister Yang Liyun quickly pointed to the seat aside and said.
"Brother, sit here."
Then the brother and sister quickly started watching TV. The news was playing on the TV.
Looking at the TV, Yang Chengjie asked.
“What is it talking about on TV?”
“It’s the “Siam Crisis”. The news said that they blocked the Gulf of Siam because Siam used armed personnel to infiltrate and threaten the Malays. Asia, so they were forced to defend themselves and avoid the outbreak of war in Malaya through blockade."
As soon as Yang Liyun finished speaking, Uncle Chen shouted on the side.
"Domineering, Nanyang is really overbearing. Malaya is the territory of the British. They have nothing to do with Nanyang. The British are not in a hurry. Nanyang rushed over in a hurry. He was arrogant and unreasonable like a gangster and directly killed people. The plane was shot down, he is really determined to be the lackey of the foreign devils."
As soon as Uncle Chen finished speaking, Uncle Song shouted next to him.
"Chen Laosan, you see you are telling lies with your eyes open. Who doesn't know that Malaysia is supported by Nanyang, and it is our turn to be the masters of the country in Nanyang. Nanyang is helping the foreign devils. They have no idea." I'm just helping the Tang people, okay? If someone with ulterior motives gets in, there will be another war. , they are murderers again, how can ordinary people live a peaceful life?"
"A peaceful life is to serve as slaves for the capitalists in Nanyang. Nanyang is on the side of the foreign devils and is dedicated to bullying us Asians..."
“Be a slave?”
As he spoke, he pointed at the TV and said.
“Look at the TV, what kind of life do the Nanyang people live, and they are still slaves? The slaves live in small Western-style houses and drive cars! And they still bully Asians? According to me, Nanyang is right to do this. If anyone dares to provoke him, he will be punished to death. If you don't accept it, you don't know how many bowls of rice you have eaten!"
"Song Liangyu, you... you are this person! Man, it's unreasonable. That's domineering, hegemonic, and capable. Why doesn't he go against the foreign devils? I think Nanyang has breasts and is a mother. He only wants to be a dog to the foreign devils. Now the British don't dare to show up, so they have replaced him. Nanyang dog..."
Listening to their shouting, Yang Liyun turned around and asked.
“Brother, what is hegemonism?”
Yang Chengjie was stunned by his sister's question and said.
“It doesn’t matter whether he is hegemonic or not. Anyway, as long as the people can live a good life, I think Nanyang is doing well. What does it say on TV? Well, Nanyang is a protector. You’re just being overbearing, what’s wrong! You’re not convinced...”
Imitating the words of the TV host, Yang Chengjie said.
"You have to endure it. If you want to fight, we will accompany you."
Seeing that Uncle Song and Uncle Chen were about to quarrel, the foreman on the side coughed. said.
"What are you yelling about? Just watch TV. If you have too much time, mop the floor again..."
When the foreman yelled, everyone stopped talking and just looked up at the TV. The newspaper was playing on the TV. Asia Television's programs... This is also a TV station in Nanyang.
In the past few years, whether it is Nanyang movies or Nanyang TV programs, just like Nanyang products, they have penetrated into every aspect of life on Hong Kong Island.
Even though some people mocked Nanyang, they have been unable to leave Nanyang for a long time.
Soon the show changed and all of them were there laughing and laughing with the laughter in the show. It seems that all the previous disputes have disappeared, and people are just happy, angry, and happy with the show.
Even Uncle Chen, who was filled with indignation just now, looked cheerful when watching the variety show on TV...
