Chapter 724 The oil bottle

Soon Suning discovered that he had miscalculated for the first time, because Suning ignored the difficulty of renting a house in the early 1970s. Many times, after knocking on the door of the residents' house, he was driven away impatiently by the other party before he could even open his mouth. After hitting the wall several times in a row, Suning had to admit that he had indeed been slapped in the face.

Thinking that their main purpose this time was to secretly teach Chen Jianghe swimming skills, the two brothers just found a bridge hole to live in, and finally went to the West Lake for a night swim when it was late at night, because there would be no administrator to come and drive them away.

"Brother, why do we have to come here at night to learn swimming?" Looking at the dark surface of West Lake in front of him, Chen Jianghe couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Jianghe, because if we want to go to Hong Kong, we must swim there at night." Suning certainly saw his brother Chen Jianghe's fear, but this was the main purpose of Suning's trip, which was nothing more than to let him overcome his inner fear.

"Hong Kong?" Chen Jianghe couldn't help but feel surprised and confused when he heard this unfamiliar place name from Suning's mouth for the first time.

"Yes! That's where our brothers' dreams began. We can do business freely and make money, and then bring the money back to build our motherland." At this time, Suning immediately smiled and told Chen Jianghe an ambitious goal.

"Ah?" Chen Jianghe was stunned when he heard Suning describe such an ambitious goal.

"Also, you must study the Cantonese I taught you these past few days well, and try not to speak Mandarin when you get there."

"Oh, brother, I understand." Chen Jianghe nodded a little confusedly. It seemed that he was used to being obedient now.

"Well, let's go! Let's go in the water now." At this time, Suning had taken off all his clothes except for his underpants, and then called the cute Chen Jianghe to go swimming in the lake.

"Brother, it's too dark, I'm scared." After seeing Su Ning go into the water directly, Chen Jianghe hesitated and took off his clothes and went into the lake. Looking at the dark lake surface, he said fearfully again.

"What are you afraid of! I will always be by your side. Only by being ruthless to yourself can you achieve success." At this time, Suning was like a happy big black fish, flapping his arms and legs around the timid Chen Jianghe.

"."

"Jianghe, do you see those three pillars in the center of West Lake? We are going to swim back and forth." Suning pointed to the "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon" in the distance in the center of the lake and said to Chen Jianghe who was slowly getting used to it.

"Ah? So far?" After estimating the distance to "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon", Chen Jianghe felt his calves twitching again.

"Jiang He, this distance is nothing. We will swim farther then." At this time, Suning smiled indifferently, and immediately swam a circle with a somersault.

"Okay! Brother, you must stay by my side!" Seeing that his brother Suning was so brave, Chen Jianghe couldn't help but bite the bullet and started swimming.

The weather in Hangzhou is now in the middle of summer, so Suning and Chen Jianghe did not feel that cold. At first, Chen Jianghe was swimming leisurely, but gradually his strength began to fail. He looked up at the "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon" that Suning had set in the distance, but found that it was still very far away.

"Brother, I can't do it anymore! It's just too far." After swimming for a long distance, Chen Jianghe was really exhausted and gave up.

"Chen Jianghe, a man should never admit that he is not capable. How can I be so leisurely? I think you are too lazy." Seeing that Chen Jianghe had indeed reached a critical point, Su Ning used provocation to Chen Jianghe.

"Brother, I'm not lazy! I can do it." Sure enough, the trick of provoking was very effective, and Chen Jianghe started howling again.

"Yes! That's it! Don't think too much, just close your eyes and keep swimming forward." Looking at Chen Jianghe who was howling and swimming forward again, Suning on the side was still cheering him on.

"Ah" After hearing Suning's inspiring encouragement, Chen Jianghe could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Chen Jianghe tried with Suning's encouragement, his current physical fitness was only that of a ten-year-old child, so he soon became exhausted and fainted. At this time, Suning, who was swimming nearby, had no choice but to lift up the fainted Chen Jianghe, and then slowly swam towards the shore.

Chen Jianghe, who was lying on the shore at this time, woke up slowly after a long time. When he saw Su Ning sitting next to him, he said ashamedly, "Brother, I let you down."

"It's okay! Let's take it slow. We have plenty of time anyway." Suning did not blame Chen Jianghe for being useless. Instead, he encouraged him again with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Jianghe was really exhausted at this time, Suning did not force his brother to go swimming again. Instead, he took Chen Jianghe back to the bridge hole where they lived. Fortunately, all the necessary supplies were available in Suning's space world, so the two brothers would not feel cold at all.

"Brother, is Hong Kong really as good as you said?" Chen Jianghe asked Su Ning curiously while eating the beggar's chicken left over from the day.

"Yes! It's a paradise, but it can also be said to be a hell, but our opportunity as brothers lies there." Thinking of the various magical places in Hong Kong, Suning couldn't help but get excited again.

"Hell? Heaven?" Chen Jianghe repeated it vaguely, and suddenly felt that this trip to Hong Kong was not simple.

"Jianghe, when we arrive in Hong Kong, I will send you to a local school first, and you must also work hard to get into the best university in Hong Kong." At this time, Su Ning casually told Chen Jianghe about his arrangements.

"No! I don't want to go to school. I want to come out and make money with you." Hearing that Su Ning was going to send him to school, the ten-year-old Chen Jianghe immediately refused excitedly.

"Jiang He, I'll take care of the money-making. You just need to learn the knowledge."

"Learn knowledge?"

"Yes! If you learn knowledge, you will understand more things and make more money, so you must not let me down."

"Yes! Big brother." Although Chen Jianghe is only ten years old now, he has long known that Su Ning is really capable. If he doesn't bring himself as a burden, Su Ning will definitely be able to do it with ease. The reason why he went to such great lengths to bring him along is that Chen Jianghe knows that Suning wants to train him, so Chen Jianghe admires his big brother from the bottom of his heart, and then silently makes up his mind to work hard.

In the following time, Chen Jianghe seemed to have come to his senses. He slowly learned and mastered the skills of long-distance swimming. Finally, after half a month, he successfully swam a round trip in the West Lake. Every day, Suning tried his best to provide Chen Jianghe with nutritious food, and Chen Jianghe's physical fitness became more and more robust.

"Jianghe, you have made great progress recently. We can go to Guangzhou." Suning looked at Chen Jianghe in front of him with satisfaction. His efforts for so long have not been in vain.

"Ah? Brother, can we finally go to Guangdong?" Chen Jianghe has been unable to wait after hearing Suning describe the advantages and conveniences of Hong Kong every day recently.

"Yes! We can go now."

Next, in order to avoid trouble on the train, Suning specially took out two new sets of clothes for Chen Jianghe to change into. They were the kind of very close-fitting military uniforms, which were considered the best kind of clothes in the early 1970s.

Sure enough, when Suning took Chen Jianghe to the train station to buy tickets, they did not encounter any strange difficulties at all. The passengers around them looked at Suning and Chen Jianghe with some fear. After all, there were not many families in this era who could let their children wear military uniforms, and any family had to have a strong background.

"Brother, these clothes are so comfortable to wear." Chen Jianghe was immediately overjoyed after putting on the new clothes.

"Hehe, silly boy! We brothers will have many good days in the future!" Suning smiled disapprovingly and rubbed Chen Jianghe's head.

"Well, brother, I'll listen to you. At first I thought we were going to climb onto the train!" Chen Jianghe suddenly said to Su Ning with a silly smile on his face.

"Jiang He, there's no need for us to climb onto the train now. We just need to transfer safely to Bao'an."

The train environment in the early 1970s was still very chaotic, and Su Ning and Chen Jianghe were just two boys in their teens, so they were easily targeted by malicious human traffickers. However, the clean military uniforms on the two men made others feel awe. Before they figured out the origins of Su Ning and Chen Jianghe, no scoundrels dared to come forward and cause trouble.

"Little boy, are you brothers?" An old lady holding a little girl, who was sitting opposite Su Ning and Chen Jianghe, asked Su Ning with what she thought was a kind smile.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Although the other party might not have any bad intentions, Suning still asked back with a blank expression, because he was worried that someone with bad intentions was eavesdropping.

"Haha, it's okay! I was just asking." The old lady didn't expect Suning to be so defensive, and she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

Because the old lady had just suffered a setback in front of Suning, other people who wanted to ask about the matter had to give up, and the two brothers Suning and Chen Jianghe were happy to have some peace and quiet, sitting quietly in their seats with their eyes closed throughout the journey.

The passengers in the train carriage were already afraid of Suning and Chen Jianghe in their military uniforms. Now they found that the two brothers were difficult to talk to, so they immediately dared not run forward to cause any trouble. As a result, the whole journey was calm.

"Brother, I'm a little hungry." Chen Jianghe suddenly woke up Su Ning who was resting with his eyes closed.

"I still have some steamed buns here, have some." Suning hurriedly took out a white flour steamed bun and handed it to Chen Jianghe in a daze.

"I want to eat bread." Chen Jianghe didn't take the steamed bun with some disgust. Instead, he thought of the hand-torn bread that Suning gave him a few days ago.

"Hey! You have a pretty good mouth." Su Ning took back the steamed bun with a helpless look, and took out a piece of hand-torn bread and handed it to Chen Jianghe.

Chen Jianghe immediately took the bread from Su Ning with surprise, but before he could put it in his mouth, he heard the little girl in the arms of the old lady opposite him say greedily to the old lady, "Grandma, I want some bread too."

"Ah? This..." The old lady immediately looked embarrassed.

At this time, Chen Jianghe looked at his brother embarrassedly, and when he met his younger brother's eyes, he knew what it meant. Then Su Ning nodded slightly to his younger brother Chen Jianghe. After seeing Su Ning nod slightly, Chen Jianghe immediately broke the bread in half with surprise and handed it to the little girl opposite.

"Ah? Thank you, little brother." The old lady who was holding the little girl in distress was immediately surprised.

"No need to thank me! I can't finish it by myself anyway." Chen Jianghe said to the old lady opposite him nonchalantly while eating the hand-torn bread in his hand.

"Thank you, little brother." The little girl who had already eaten the bread looked at Chen Jianghe with a smile on her face and said thank you.

"Haha, little sister is so good." Chen Jianghe's little mouth was filled with delicious bread, but he touched the little girl's head happily and said.

Looking at his brother Chen Jianghe who was so happy at this moment, Suning didn't say anything to stop him. After all, Suning also liked to see Chen Jianghe's rare warm-heartedness. Instead, he picked up the white flour bun that Chen Jianghe had refused and started eating it. Suning really didn't expect that he had unknowingly spoiled his brother's appetite. Thinking of the original drama where Chen Jianghe was so hungry that he competed with Luo Yuzhu for a steamed bun on the train, Suning couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.

After this bread incident, the atmosphere around became much more relaxed, and smiles returned to everyone's faces. However, Suning still had an expression that said "keep away from strangers", and the smiles of the passengers around were only limited to Chen Jianghe. In fact, this was also a way for Suning to protect himself. After all, he and Chen Jianghe were just two ten-year-old children.

The green trains of that era moved at a snail's pace. By the time Suning and Chen Jianghe arrived at Guangzhou Station, both brothers were sore from the bumpy ride. Chen Jianghe looked at Suning pitifully and asked, "Brother, do we need to go to Bao'an right away?"

"Huh? Let's stay in Guangzhou for two days first! Remember! We can only communicate in Cantonese from now on." In fact, when Chen Jianghe asked Suning at the exit, he also wanted Suning to stop and rest.

"Oh! I know."

"Hehe, not bad! This young man is teachable."
