1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 129 The electronics factory guy who loves singing

"Hey, Yifan, don't be impulsive. We can't eat flies no matter what we eat. It's too disgusting!"

"That's right, our lives don't have to be that hard, so let's not go to those fly-infested restaurants... uh..."

The two guys hurriedly chased forward and were about to stop the impulsive Lu Yifan.

However, at this moment they had already arrived at the roadside restaurant.

When I got closer, I smelled the fragrance of food in the air and took a look inside the so-called "fly" restaurant.

Oh my god, this guy is lying.

In such a clean restaurant, how could there be a place that specifically feeds flies and maggots to the customers?

"Boss, three pork trotter rice bowls, three bottles of beer, and one serving of your signature roast goose dish..."

As soon as Lu Yifan entered the door, he ordered food in fluent Cantonese.

The waitress warmly greeted the three of them and seated them, and wrote down the order. The oscillating fans on the walls of the restaurant were blowing, and it didn't seem so stuffy after they sat down.

Seeing Lu Yifan so casual and at ease, he integrated into the local city life.

Song Yuanchao and Xie Sihua had envious expressions on their faces, and their admiration for Lu Yifan reached a new level from the bottom of their hearts.

They made up their minds that they must learn Cantonese no matter what.

Otherwise it would be really difficult to move forward!

If they were really asked to act separately, they might have already been reported as mainlanders who had fled to Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong police might have heard the news and come to cause trouble...

It was nothing like now, where they walked around freely and no one could tell that they were local guys in disguise.

The three of them had a very pleasant meal.

The total cost was more than thirty yuan.

This level of consumption immediately made Song Yuanchao and Xie Sihua jump with fear.

It should be noted that the Hong Kong dollar is currently more valuable than the RMB.

Based on the mainland's consumption level, even if you are in Beijing, with 100 yuan, no matter how lavishly you spend, you can at least live for a month.

But the three of them just had a quick meal at a fly-in-the-wall restaurant on the street.

Even though it was because of the beer.

But it’s not the case that one person can make more than 30 dollars out of nothing!
"Alright, alright, look at the reactions on your faces. The average monthly salary for a worker in Beijing is only 1500-33 yuan, and the average monthly salary for the working class in Hong Kong is yuan. The three of us spent yuan on a meal, which is already very frugal!"

"How can ordinary people in Hong Kong, who earn an average of 1500 yuan a month, live in such a shabby place?"

Song Yuanchao is a person who is very good at finding the right perspective to maintain his inner balance. After hearing what he said, Xie Sihua, who was originally silent, suddenly became emotional.

The two men then began to attack each other with their spears and shields again.

To sum up, their central idea is that the lives of the lower-class people in Hong Kong are not necessarily much better than those of people in Beijing.

Ok!

Such a comparison, though, is meaningless.

But at least it is indeed a psychological comfort.

"Yifan, then next, should we find a place to stay for the night?"

"Yes, yes, we can't really sleep on the streets!

It would be troublesome if the Hong Kong police spotted you.

After all, we are now "illegal residents" with no legitimate reason. Qin arranged all these things for us. Who knows, he might just wait for us to be arrested by the police, and then he will go to the police station to pick us up, just like he is watching a joke..."

"That's right, Old Song, you have hit the nail on the head. It seems that Captain Qin and his men's ultimate goal is probably to do this, to dampen our pride and make us behave in a low-key manner after we go abroad..."

"There are only about 200 yuan left, and you two are still dreaming of staying in a five-star hotel?"

Lu Yifan retorted to the two guys, but he was not in a hurry at all.

He already had several plans and strategies in mind.

However, now is not the time to take action.

"Now that you've had enough to eat and drink, do you two have any other ideas except to quickly find a suitable place to stay?
I don't want to take the opportunity to go somewhere else.
Have a leisurely trip and see the glamorous world of the capitalist society that you imagined?" "It's no use imagining it. People have to learn to face reality. Without money, we can't do anything!"

"What about you? Xie Sihua, are you the same as Lao Song? Once you have no money in your pocket, do you become as cowardly as a dog?"

"Yifan, please don't test us two stupid people. If you have any plan, just tell us. We will definitely listen to you and do whatever you ask us to do without any hesitation. Don't you think I am right, Old Song?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, we are a team. Yifan, you are the brain of our team. We will do whatever you tell us to do without hesitation..."

"Okay, you said this yourself, don't go back on your word!"

"But what exactly do you want us to do? You can't ask us to perform on the streets or break rocks on our chests!"

Snapped!
Lu Yifan clapped his hands excitedly, "Hey, Old Song, you are still the one with the most clever ideas. You even thought of making extra money by performing on the streets. But forget about the chest-breaking stone. None of us three have practiced it. Let's do something simple and easy to get started.

What do you think about us singing red songs..."

“Fuck!~~”

"Yifan, you are so bold!~~"

Song Yuanchao and Xie Sihua almost choked on their saliva after listening to Lu Yifan's advice.

My goodness, singing revolutionary songs on the streets of Hong Kong?
What do you think?
This is because they are afraid of being targeted.
Are you afraid that the Hong Kong police will come to your house to check your identity?
"Three comrades from the mainland, are you planning to sing on the streets to earn money? There is actually nothing wrong with singing revolutionary songs here in the Kowloon Tong area! If you don't mind, I can join you and help sing for you..."

The three of them were discussing whether or not to perform on the streets to earn extra money, especially Lu Yifan's suggestion of singing revolutionary songs.

Song Yuanchao and Xie Sihua subconsciously rejected Lu Yifan's suggestion.

There is no way, they feel guilty and would rather avoid trouble than more. They are afraid of attracting inspections by the Hong Kong police and being arrested because of their "illegal household" status.

That's why I have this idea.

That naturally comes from a complete lack of understanding of Hong Kong society today.

At this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly interrupted from behind.

All three of them were startled.

Lu Yifan turned his head and saw the person who spoke to him. His mood couldn't help but cheer up: Hey, hey, isn't this really a coincidence? Isn't this...

"Sir, are you talking to us?

How did you know that we are from the mainland? And how did you know that we were going to perform on the streets and sing revolutionary songs? Aren't you afraid at all?
Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble because of us?"

In fact, Lu Yifan recognized him at first sight.

Who is the owner of this young and childish face?

In the late 1970s, there was a young man who loved singing, especially revolutionary songs, in an electronics factory in Kowloon.

Mr. Zhang Mingmin, the famous king of red songs and the well-known patriotic singer of Hong Kong Island.

When I learned that the three people had arrived at the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area.

He subconsciously wondered whether he was lucky enough to meet this person.

It was suggested that the three of them should perform on the streets and sing revolutionary songs.

The original psychological plan was to fish with a straight hook, hoping that those who were willing to take the bait would take it. He wanted to make some noise on the street to attract this person to appear.

As for why he did this?

It’s not easy to come to Hong Kong.

Of course, we have to create opportunities to get close to historical celebrities!

Besides, as long as they can really meet this person, I believe that their accommodation problem at night will naturally be found. This is called relying on friends when going out. More friends mean more ways.

I really didn't expect that my wish would actually come true and I really met the real person.

But at this moment, he still had to pretend, pretending that he didn't know who this person was, what his purpose was, and why he was willing to help these three mainland youths whom he met by chance on the street.

As for Song Yuanchao and Xie Sihua standing aside, they were both on high alert, staring at the strange young man in front of them.

In addition, they were also wondering whether Lu Yifan had lost his mind.

Why at the critical moment, he stopped speaking fluent Cantonese and instead started chatting with the strange young man in standard Beijing dialect Mandarin...
