Chapter 1193 Shooting yourself in the foot with a rock

"If you have something to say, let it go!" Xiao Peng picked up the phone and said angrily.

Yang Meng smiled and said, "Ah, the anger is not small, who provoked our Young Master Xiao?"

"Have you ever heard the phrase "shooting yourself in the foot with a rock?" Xiao Peng said indignantly: "I didn't go to a public library at all. ”

"Why didn't you go?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Xiao Peng looked at the big bags and small bags around him, and said with a sad face: "I underestimate my mother's desire to shop too much, no wonder she heard that she came to Hong Kong Island to support me so much! I'm left to be a little brother every day. I don't know how much tariff I have to pay when I go back. ”

Yang Meng took a cool breath: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Xiao Peng had a bitter face: "No matter how old you are, she is also a woman, I still laugh at those aunts all day long and know how to buy and buy after they go out, but my own mother is also like this! What clothes does this woman look best in wear? Of course it is new clothes! No matter what it is, it is the best for them if it is new." Take clothes as an example, no matter how many clothes you have in your closet, the most annoying thing every day is that you don't have any clothes to wear. A woman's attitude towards old clothes is 'it's a pity to throw it away, and it's a shame to wear it stupidly', and my mother is the same. ”

"Didn't Gina stop her mother?" Yang Meng asked.

"My mother also bought it for her and Wei Ya, and then the three of them went together, and Xiao Ge Xiaoyi and I were coolies. Xiao Peng complained.

Yang Meng and his father burst into laughter on the phone.

"Huh, Dad is there too?" Xiao Peng frowned.

Dad smiled happily: "Of course I'm here, why don't I say anything and play with me, I'd rather play chess with your grandfather at home, now you understand, right?"

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Are you calling to laugh at me?"

Yang Meng held back a smile and said, "Of course not, I called to tell you that Guo Sihua's invitation was sent to our island, isn't his father's sixtieth birthday?"

Xiao Peng said with a bitter face: "How can I have time now? I don't even have time to go to the library by myself." ”

Yang Meng said disdainfully: "You want to go to Lou Feng to play and have no time." ”

"Your uncle, what nonsense are you talking about, Daddy is next to you!" Xiao Peng snorted coldly.

Yang Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take the old man over there next time." ”

"Damn, I see how dare you!" Xiao Peng said angrily.

Yang Meng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be happy if I know you're not happy!

"I can't even go to the library now, how can I go to that Guo Sihua's birthday banquet?

Yang Meng suddenly said: "By the way, that old man from Qiushan has been looking for you, I said that you went to Hong Kong Island, he should go to Hong Kong Island to find you." ”

"Damn, you're making a mess for me!" Xiao Peng said speechlessly.

Yang Mengle said: "Hong Kong Island is so big, and you don't go to Guo's house, how can he see you? ”

When Xiao Peng heard this, he was right, and he was relieved.

"Yes, Mom, I'm done shopping at this store, I won't talk to you anymore!" Xiao Peng was about to hang up the phone after speaking.

"I said you're stupid, you won't find an international courier company, just buy and send it back! Spend more money, spend more money, do you have to be a humanoid backpack?" Yang Meng teased.

Uh, this method is really right, Xiao Peng hung up the phone directly, and specially asked Yang Meng to say that he was stupid, this is the last thing he wants to encounter in his life.

Fortunately, my mother's desire to shop didn't last for a few days, and it was annoying to buy every day. I transferred the fun to playing. For example, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is a must-visit, is simply a miracle in the history of human architecture, as well as the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and the Avenue of Stars on the promenade。。。。。。

But the biggest disappointment for Xiao Peng was Ocean Park. Although this is the favorite place for Hong Kong Island people and the most frequented place for tourists, Xiao Peng is only disappointed when he comes here.

But the children are not happy, the things they see every day in this family have to spend money here to play, which is really painful for Xiao Peng.

After playing crazy on Hong Kong Island for a few days, my mother and others finally couldn't bear it anymore and rested in the hotel. Xiao Peng only had time to go to the Hong Kong Island Kilometer Library to check the materials he wanted.

As a result, after checking this information, Xiao Peng became even more depressed, how could he get more confused the more he checked?

First of all, it is certain that the 'Iris' is not a fiction of Toshiki Akiyama. There was indeed this ship, which belonged to a transportation company called 'Xingyun' at that time, and the company's background seems to be a senior member of the Jinling puppet national government and several high-level Japanese officials.

Most of the literary and historical materials about the 'Iris' are the oral accounts of the old crew members and some old photo records, and the most precious is a record of the 'Xingyun' company. After reading that record, Xiao Peng almost scratched his scalp------ this is too nonsense, right?

Don't look at the 'Iris' is a small and medium-sized cargo ship, specializing in the route between China and Europe, but because most of the goods transported are smuggling, it may also be to avoid the war, so it has not even gone through a standard channel!

Is this group of boat people all crazy? They really verified what is called 'people die for money, birds die for food', Xiao Peng inquired about the shipping lanes they had traveled before, and even went to the Cape of Good Hope through Indonesia and the Indian Ocean in order to avoid the North African battlefield!

The Indian Ocean has a distinct tropical oceanic climate and a monsoon climate, which is divided into four climatic zones and has a unique monsoon circulation. Climate change is extremely intense. If something happens, then it's really 'dead and hopeless'. This once again proves that in the face of huge wealth, countless people are willing to take risks.

The last time the ship sailed off Hong Kong Island was on March 26, 1945, so that the time could almost be matched------ the Awa Maru set sail from Lijiapo on March 28 to return to the Wakoku and was sunk on April 1. According to this point in time, it cannot be ruled out that the two ships have had a handover at sea.

Moreover, the last voyage of the 'Iris' was not to set sail empty, but to transport a batch of 'uniformed military quilts to support the European battlefield'.

Xiao Peng became more and more interested in the ship, but there was no information at all about where the ship had gone or where it sank. The documents on the island of Hong Kong say that it was speculated that it was sunk by a German submarine in the North African theater, which is different from Akiyama Toshiki's theory of "sinking by a Japanese submarine".

After checking the information for a long time, the only thing Xiao Peng can be sure of is that even if the ship sinks, it must be in a difficult place to salvage, and if it is well salvaged, it will be discovered long ago.

When Xiao Peng left the public library, it was already afternoon, and he was so focused on checking materials that he didn't even eat lunch.

He went to the snack bar, a bowl of 'bowl wings', accompanied by 'peeing beef balls', a big bowl of curry beef brisket and a bowl of car noodles, and started eating!

At this time, the diners next to him all looked sideways when they saw Xiao Peng's way of eating, and Xiao Peng had already become accustomed to everyone's sight.

It seems that since ancient times, the concept of so-called "rice" has been different between southerners and northerners.

At the beginning, people didn't notice any difference between the north and the south, but since the development of the network and the development of transportation, the communication between the north and the south has become deeper and deeper, and people have found that the gap between the south and the north is really not small, and then it is presented in a strange circle of mutual envy:

Southerners envy the northerners for heating in winter; northerners envy southerners who are not afraid of the cold, especially the northerners in the first line of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who are almost frozen miserably in winter, and as a result, they ------ be fine when they look at the southerners around them! (In fact, southerners are afraid of the cold, otherwise they will not envy the heating in the north); northerners envy the southerners who are like spring all year round, and southerners envy northerners who play in the snow in winter; southerners envy northerners who are tall, northerners who envy southerners whose courage is commendable----- so big cockroaches will fly, you are not afraid?

But in terms of 'food', the gap between the south and the north is too big. At least in terms of the amount of food, the north is better than the south.

Take buying vegetables as an example, northerners buy vegetables on catties, southerners buy vegetables on 'trees', for a simple example, northerners buy cabbage: 'this cabbage is good, bring me ten catties', southerners buy vegetables: 'cabbage is good, give me half a piece'。。。。。。

And northerners go to the south to travel and live, and the most uncomfortable thing is also in this 'eating': northerners generally eat a lot of food.

This is also a historical reason, the north is generally cold, and the land is sparsely populated, and more food is needed to supplement calories, and the south has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, and generally does not worry about food (just like in the pre-liberation period, the poor people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can only eat hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger), so the southerners eat more delicately, pursue the taste, and the 'quantity' is not so important.

Some people joke that the so-called 'bowl' in the south should be called 'cup' in the north, although it is a bit exaggerated, it is also an image. Anyway, when Xiao Peng arrives in the south, every time he wants to eat his stomach, he will make people 'pay attention'----- and those who don't know think that they are starving to death and reincarnated.

While eating, Xiao Peng remembered a question: when he was reading a book in the library just now, he directly muted the phone, and now when he picked up the phone, he was dumbfounded: eighty-two missed calls?

At this time, there happened to be a phone calling inside, and he answered the phone casually, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard a woman's excited voice: "It's through!

Fortunately, in the end, the phone was connected, and she was on the stimulant, and she didn't know that she thought it was the sewer!
