That Year the Flowers Bloomed 1981

Chapter 890: Freeloading with a Clear Conscience

On Sunday, Li Ye originally planned to go to his old mother Fu Guiru's place to have dinner. After all, Fu Guiru thought it was troublesome to serve her son, but at the same time she cherished the quiet time with Li Ye.

But unfortunately, after getting up in the early morning, Li Ye received a call from Fu Guiru, saying that the financial team at Lighthouse made a judgment on Friday that the Lighthouse stock market was likely to accelerate its decline, so Fu Guiru flew to Lighthouse to follow Pei Wencong and others gathered together.

Then it would be difficult for Li Ye, who stayed in the hotel, to act alone. He didn't understand Japanese, and he couldn't visit some prestigious places by himself. He had to follow the group to "see new things" on the streets of Tokyo.

Before the Internet was developed two thousand years ago, mainland travelers could not master so much knowledge about scenic spots in various places. After arriving in a new city, many people would regard shopping as "sightseeing".

Everyone walks along the main road a few times to see how it is different from the city where they live. If they find some interesting customs, they can chat with their neighbors and friends for a long time after returning.

"Let me tell you, girls from the Black Province have a very shrewish temper. I stepped on her foot on the bus and was just thinking about flirting with her. Without saying a word, she greeted my relatives from several generations."

"I just came back from Shanghai, and I saw a lot of high-heeled girls in front of the Bund Hotel, short skirts, and leather ones. That's called a short, tsk tsk. They just have a foreigner on their shoulders and people look at them."

So when Li Ye followed Xiao Jinggang and others on the bustling streets of Tokyo, he kept hearing "tsk tsk" sounds from other people.

"I wonder why these stupid girls are so pussy-legged? Don't they all mind the cold? Are they all bare-legged in the autumn?"

"Look at this car. It's polished and shiny. Take a photo later and show it to the driver class at your workplace and let them find the difference."

"This building is so tall. There are so many traffic lights on this road."

Li Ye followed boredly, but did not make fun of his companion.

When it comes to going from the mainland in the 1980s to Tokyo in the 1980s, the difference is probably even more shocking than when later generations went from Daliang Mountain to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

However, Professor Zhao and Xiao Zheng in the crowd focused on different goals than the others.

They are interested in the cars on the road. They not only look at the appearance of the car, but also listen to the sound of the engine.

"Li Ye, look at that Mitsubishi truck. It should be the replacement product of our imported project. The engine sound is quieter, and the sheet metal of the body is obviously tighter and more refined."

"The gap! This is the gap"

When they reached a small wavy slope, the two people simply stopped walking and stood on the side of the road watching the cars passing by quickly, observing the changes in the chassis suspension of the cars as they passed over uneven roads.

Liu Muhan and others in front noticed that Professor Zhao, Li Ye, and Xiao Zheng stopped: "Hey, Professor Zhao, why don't you leave?"

"We'll watch here for a while, you go first!"

"How's that going to work? We have to act as a group."

Xiao Jinggang and others stood there helplessly, smelling the car exhaust for twenty minutes, listening to Professor Zhao and Xiao Zheng's tutting, and watching the two of them shaking their heads and sighing. They all felt that these two people were idiots.

But Li Ye knew that within the entire team, only these two people were the technical talents obsessed with mechanical technology.

"Hello, may I ask, are you from the mainland?"

While everyone was bored looking at cars on the roadside, a woman suddenly came over and asked Li Ye and others,

What she said was a very authentic Beijing movie, which aroused the enthusiasm of several people at once.

"Hey, are you from the mainland too? From the capital?"

"Yes, yes! It turns out that you are also from the capital! I haven't heard my hometown dialect in the past two years, and it's so kind to hear it."

"Hahahaha, we also feel friendly! I didn't expect to meet people from the capital in Tokyo. It's not easy."

"But it's not easy! I saw you from a long way away, and at first glance I thought you looked like a fellow countryman. What's your surname?"

"My surname is Xiao"

"Really? My surname is Xiao too! I used to be from Dongcheng. Which generation are you from?"

"I am the twenty-third generation, the Jin generation."

"Hey, then I can't call you brother yet! I have to call you uncle. I am a descendant of the twenty-fourth generation, and my name is Xiao Qunfang."

"Okay! We are really a family."

After Xiao Jinggang and the woman named Xiao climbed up in seniority, they became warm to each other.

What a blessing it is to meet an old friend in a foreign country where you are unfamiliar with your life.

According to Xiao Qunfang, she came to Japan two years ago when the trend of going abroad was just beginning. She worked and went to school here. After graduation, she opened a department store with the savings from her part-time job, specializing in selling various electrical appliances and small commodities.

But Li Ye squinted his eyes and looked Xiao Qunfang up and down, and guessed who she was.

Li Ye walked up to Liu Muhan, quietly pulled her arm and winked at her.

But Liu Muhan was not Wen Leyu, and he and Li Ye did not have a tacit understanding of each other, so they were still a little suspicious for a while.

[Alas, it turns out you are also a socialist giant. 】

After Liu Muhan joined the workforce, he has been engaged in government missions and has never interacted with lower-class overseas Chinese, so he lacks the due vigilance.

Of course, there were many truly kind and enthusiastic overseas Chinese overseas in 1987, which was one of the reasons for Liu Muhan's carelessness.

At this time, the woman surnamed Xiao enthusiastically invited everyone: "You have been out shopping for a long time and you are tired! My department store is not far in front. Let me invite everyone to have lunch together!"

"How can this be done? It's too much trouble, too much trouble."

"It's not troublesome, not troublesome at all," Xiao Qunfang said with a cheerful smile: "My business has been okay in the past two years and I have made some money, but I just miss home.

I can see so many people from my hometown today, so I must show my kindness to the landlord. When I finish eating and leave, I will give the uncle a video recorder to take back, and I will also give each of you a small electrical appliance."

"Hey, hey, this, this, you are too polite, you are too polite."

Several people were still trying to evade, but they were already very tempted in their hearts. There was a cheap guy who was already taking steps to follow Xiao Qunfang.

But Li Ye sneered and asked: "Hello, do you have an invoice?"

Xiao Qunfang was stunned and asked in confusion: "What invoice?"

Li Yedao: "It's the invoice for the video recorder and small electrical appliances."

Xiao Qunfang's face was stunned, and then she said with a smile: "Why do I need an invoice for the gift I gave to my uncle? Are you afraid of customs inspection when you return to China? Hey, as long as it does not exceed a certain limit, you do not need a receipt Proven"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid of customs inspection, I'm afraid of Japanese police questioning, in case someone suspects that we stole it."

"What are you talking about, Li Ye? I saw my fellow villagers kindly asking us to come over and sit down. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hey, sister Xiao, don't worry, our young colleague just doesn't listen to what he says."

Xiao Jin just got angry and glared at Li Ye, while another colleague was already accusing Li Ye and asking for his forgiveness.

But Liu Muhan came to his senses at this moment, stood up and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Ms. Xiao, we came out in a hurry today and didn't bring much money with us, so we won't patronize your department store. You Leave us an address and we will visit you another day."

But Xiao Qunfang turned around and walked away, cursing as he walked.

"A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn't recognize a good heart. You treat my good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life."

"."

Xiao Jinggang watched his "eldest niece" walk away angrily, and turned to look at Li Ye, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

"I said Deputy Director Li, what do you mean? Is it possible that you can make extra money and become a rich man, and others are bad people who defraud people of their money?"

Li Ye glanced at Xiao Jinggang and pursed his lips at Xiao Qunfang who walked into the alley: "Do you think she looks like a small businessman who runs a department store?"

Xiao Jinggang sneered: "I don't think she is like a small businessman. She is a big businessman. She will give us video recorders as soon as she makes a move. Unlike some people, who make their own money and spend it themselves."

"Then it's still too late for you to catch up now."

Li Ye interrupted Xiao Jinggang coldly, and then said to the others: "I don't know if you observed carefully just now, but Xiao Qunfang's hair hasn't been washed for at least three days.

This is very abnormal in Japan. A department store owner should not come out to greet customers without washing his hair for three days."

"."

Everyone was stunned and began to recall, and then they felt that the Xiao Qunfang just now seemed indeed not as "clean" as other Japanese.

Xiao Jinggang was stunned, and argued again: "They are not stupid Japanese, they are our compatriots, and their living habits are different. Is it strange for us mainland girls not to wash their hair for three days?"

Li Ye didn't even look at Xiao Jinggang and said again: "Did you notice her shirt and shoes? There were oil stains on the collar of her shirt, and the heels were worn halfway off.

Let's go to Ikebukuro in front of us now. There are many Chinese restaurants and shops there. Let's see if any of the Chinese bosses are as shabby as her. "

"."

At this time, everyone believed in Li Ye, especially Ma Zhaoxian and Lu Zhizhang.

The two people just now actually believed Xiao Qunfang. After all, this is an era without the Internet, and everyone has a very friendly view of overseas compatriots.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go shopping in Ikebukuro today. It is said that there are many Chinese compatriots there and there are Chinese restaurants. Let's have Chinese food for lunch today!"

In the end, it was Liu Muhan who broke the awkwardness of the scene and led everyone to wander around Ikebukuro not far away.

It's just that today's lunch meal will definitely be reported as exceeding the standard.

But when Li Ye and others arrived in Ikebukuro, they happened to meet Director Inoue of Mitsubishi Company.

Minister Inoue was getting out of the car with several colleagues and seven or eight white-skinned guests to enter a large Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Everyone suddenly became angry.

"Didn't Mitsubishi say it's closed on Sundays? Why do you bring the Lighthouse people out for dinner? What's the matter? We are guests, and the Lighthouse people are also guests. Why do they have it? It's really irritating."

"Why are you angry? Isn't there someone in charge of the meal?"

Ma Zhaoxian smiled and walked quickly towards the people on the well. Liu Muhan, the translator, didn't even follow.

"Hello, Mr. Inoue, do you have to work overtime on Sunday? Oh, who are these people? Are they also your guests?"

Li Ye: "."

Liu Muhan: "."

[You are too confident to do so, aren't you? 】
