Chapter 15 twelve

At 8 o'clock tomorrow night, in Umeda, you can't be late for a minute! We were sitting on the second floor of the Great Century Building on Hengyang Street, in a mandarin duck seat at the end of the aisle, drinking a glass of iced lemonade alone, and Xiaoyu's flying peach eyes sparkled with excitement.Dashiji is also our frequent liaison station, much quieter than Savage Cafe. Where is Umeda?I asked. Donkey eggs!Xiaoyu punched me, and Umeda had never heard of it!It is in the two alleys from the Guobin Hotel on Zhongshan North Road.The Taiwanese side dishes there are even better than green leaves and plums.Tomorrow night, he will invite the few of us.

What's so special about Taiwanese side dishes?He is an overseas Chinese, why don't you take him to the big tavern?Wufulou, cornucopia.Let's get rich too, and go to a banquet? Hey, say you are not natural!Xiaoyu is so worldly, he is like Lin, he has been away from home for so many years, and it is the first time he comes back, he always wants to taste the taste of his hometown!Big Tavern, are you afraid that no businessman will invite him?I like the place in Umeda, which is chaotic and sentimental.Roasted flower branches, nine holes in cold salad are so beautiful! Xiaoyu told me: The Japanese overseas Chinese is called Lin Maoxiong, and he is in his fifties.Originally from Taipei, he was conscripted by the Japanese army to mainland China during the war, and worked as a nurse in the Changchun Military Hospital in Northeast China for seven or eight years.Later, he married a Manzhou girl in the northeast and gave birth to a son and a daughter.After the war, his family and a friend from the Northeast went to Japan to do business as a partnership. After suffering for several years, they only recently made a fortune.This time, their Chengcheng pharmaceutical factory in Tokyo sent him to Taiwan to set up a distribution department, so he had the opportunity to return to his hometown.

Today I took Lin Xiang to visit Taipei for a day, and the two of them had a great time shopping together!Xiaoyu's face was full of radiance, Ah Qing, Lin Xiang is a very nice person, you see he pointed to the new red and black striped Shimilong shirt on his body, he bought it for me. You snob!I smiled and said, your eyes lit up when you saw the overseas Chinese from Japan. Could it be that you are really going to ask an overseas Chinese godfather again? Xiaoyu sneered and said: Why can't overseas Chinese godfather worship?My father was originally an overseas Chinese. He is now in Japan.

oh?I was surprised, then why didn't you tell me earlier?He also said that your father died a long time ago and was buried in your bayberry village.That day I clearly heard you begging Lao Zhou for money, saying that you were buying joss sticks for your father's grave.You don't lose your life by coaxing people to death! Tell you?Xiaoyu punched her nostrils and snorted, why did I tell you?I didn't tell anyone! The people in our park talked about everything when we met, but no one mentioned their own backgrounds, and even if they did, they concealed more than half of them, because everyone had an ulterior secret pain that they couldn't tell.

Ah Qing, let me ask you, Xiaoyu suddenly tilted her neck, looked at me maliciously and said with a smile, do you have a father? What words! What's your father's last name? Surname Li!Last name?I got a little annoyed and took two sips of lemonade. Your father's real surname is Li?You really know who your dad is, huh?The corners of Xiaoyu's mouth were raised, and she smiled very wickedly. Fuck you mother!I couldn't help punching myself out. Heh, heh, Xiaoyu laughed triumphantly, you see, if I ask you for nothing, you can't afford to lose! He bowed his head and sucked his lemonade silently. After a while, he raised his head, and a lock of long hair that fell on his forehead was thrown back to the top of his head. His cheeks were bright, and his peach eyes sparkled. .

Tell you?Tell you I'm a fatherless bastard?I've never met my dad and don't know who he is.My surname is not Wang, that is my mother's surname.My mother told me that my father is a Japanese overseas Chinese, his surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Zhengxiong.He has a Japanese surname, Nakajima.My mother called him: Nakajima.On my ID card, the father's column is filled with death.People ask me: Where is your father?dead.died long ago.I always pretended not to care about Xiaoyu shrugging her shoulders, but I kept thinking: Where is that Red Deer Yelang now?In Tokyo?In Osaka?Or fell into the Pacific Ocean?That year he returned to Taiwan to do business, selling cosmetics for Shiseido.He went to the restaurant, met my mother in Dongyun Pavilion, and they fell in love like that.My mother said that she was fooled by that Red Deer Yelang!When he returned to Japan, he promised to pick up my mother in a month, and my mother was already pregnant with me.Unexpectedly, even his address in Tokyo was false, and every letter was returned.I have said to my grandma since I was a child: Grandma, don't worry, I'll get that Kajima back for you.I used to go to those tourist hotels all day long: the State Guest Hotel, the First Hotel, and the Liufu Hotel. I ran through them all. Guess what I was doing?

Go shopping. Egg pepper!Xiaoyu laughed, and I went to the hotel counter to check the passenger list from Japan.Alas, it is hard!Check his Chinese name first, and then check his Japanese name.I often have big dreams: my overseas Chinese father suddenly came back from Japan, made a fortune, and came to pick up my mother and follow me to Tokyo. Doing your cherry blossom dream again!I laughed. Ah Qing, just wait and see, one day, I will fly to Tokyo to make a lot of money, and if I earn enough, I will pick up my mother, and I will raise her and let her enjoy a few years of happiness. Her lifelong wish to go to Japan.I want her to leave her current man and that bastard, and we are not allowed to meet mother and son!

What is this for? Alas, Xiaoyu sighed, and I poured half a bottle of parazon in his face. Obediently, you can poison people!I clicked my tongue. That Shandong man is not a bad man.He calls you grandma all day long, I call you grandma.Xiaoyu smiled and said, he is a freight driver, he drives a large truck, and he used to be a driver in the army.Shandong guy, as strong as a bull, my mother let him catch him on the bed.He and I got along pretty well at first, and when he came back from Taichung to deliver goods, he always brought me a box of my favorite dried pineapple.After two sips of wine, he pinched his nose and imitated a woman's voice and sang Henan Bangzi to make me laugh.But one time, I was having sex with someone at home, but the Shandong guys caught me on the spot!

Shameless, how did you steal someone into your house?I cried. What's so strange?Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders. I took someone home to have sex in the kitchen when I was fourteen.We live in Sanchong Town, and there are several old men nearby who are kind to me and often buy me things: pens, leather shoes, shirts, buy one for me, and I will fight with them once, call them godfathers, and one sells beef soup Yes, he is a big guy, but he loves me the most.When I go to his stall in the evening, he always brings me a big bowl of beef soup. It’s hot, it’s beef tendon, lean meat, and coriander. It’s very good to drink!If he had a wife, I took him home and slipped into the kitchen through the back door.Unexpectedly, that Shandong guy bumped into him that time.What do you think he hit me with?Iron chains on trucks!Fart!Fart!While he was cursing, an iron chain was swiped off his head and face.If my mother hadn't stopped me, my little life would have been ruined long ago!You said, should I poison him?

Xiaoyu looked at me with a helpless expression on his face. Fortunately, he was not poisoned to death. Xiaoyu took a deep breath. He was washing his stomach in the hospital, but my mother rushed back, wrapped my clothes into a bundle, put a gold chain around my neck, and said to me: "Let's go!" , You will die when he comes back!In that way, I became an angel on the road. Said Xiaoyu giggled. Lao Zhou came to see you again last night, and I suddenly remembered what Li Yue said, and Li Yue said, that fat grandpa was so angry.If he knows that you're eating wild food outside again, it's no wonder he doesn't tear your flesh!

Fuck him, Xiaoyu stood up and picked up the bill on the table, that old man is so troublesome.Good brother, please please, please lie for me and say that the young master cut the cecum! Back at Jinzhou Street, Liyue was still off work.Abasan had already taken Little Johnny to sleep, and the lights in the whole house were turned off.I walked into the room, in the dark, but suddenly saw the string of tinfoil ingots that were left on the bed in the afternoon, shining with silver light.I picked up the trembling string of ingots, walked through the kitchen, and walked outside to the rooftop.In a corner of the rooftop, in a foreign iron pot filled with sand, there is a stick of incense, and a few sparks are still burning, probably left over from the Abasan burning ceremony.I knelt down, struck a match, and lit the string of tinfoil in my hand.Those ingots were hissing, and they were burned to ashes one by one, and fell to the ground one by one, trembling alone with dark red embers.I looked up and saw that the moon in the sky, which was the Hungry Ghost Festival on July 15th, was red and big, westward, and was pressing on the top of the tall building in the distance. In the revolving room, I didn't even take off my clothes, and lay down on the bed sticky with sweat.My body was numb from exhaustion, and my limbs were paralyzed on the straw mat, as if disintegrated, unable to move.In the darkness, I saw the neon lights of the bars reflected from the window, moving like colorful snakes.Gradually, my mind became more and more sober.It has been more than three months, and this is the first night when I suddenly feel that I miss my brother so much, so eagerly and violently.
