Chapter 20 Restless Summer
After missing a case that should have been digging further, Charles decided to eat something and then go to the library to spend some time. He had a lot of things that he didn't understand about this society and this country, so he was eager to understand these things.
To be honest, the consumption in Zhongcheng is really not cheap, about three to five times that in Xiacheng. You can buy a lot of vegetables in Xiacheng by spending one dollar to improve your food. You can’t even eat a meal for a dollar here.
It is still the cheapest set meal for two yuan, a plate of steamed wheat kernels and a large bowl of fragrant beef sauce soup, mix the two things together, add a very crisp and delicious sour cucumber, and a small cup of vegetable leaves. This is what people eat.
There are many people in the restaurant, and most of them are already in the seats. Perhaps the middle class has adapted to such a high-consumption life. After all, they are high-income people. For Charles, the expenses may be a bit inconspicuous in their opinion.
He was enjoying rare food, and a young man in his thirties sat opposite him, the same cheapest set meal, and he also glanced at the guy.
"You didn't come to the last party..." The young man with dark hair was a little thin, with bags of eyes and dark circles skillfully stirred the wheat kernels sprinkled with sauce soup, and then dug a large spoon and stuffed them into his mouth.
Shire was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, I'm in some trouble."
The young man's eyebrows trembled, and while chewing the wheat kernel in his mouth, he asked vaguely, "Do you need our help?"
Charles shook his head. He didn't know where this person belonged, so he could only maintain a somewhat mysterious feeling like this.
The young people don’t care. “Tomorrow morning, things should be delivered to you through spiders, so please check it out…”
"This is the closest opportunity for us to succeed. In order to get you to this day, we have put in a lot of effort and results. We can't wait any longer. Do you understand what I mean?"
Shire nodded. He knew very well that this person might be from the Brotherhood of Steel, and of course it might be another group of people.
Seeing Charles nodding solemnly, the young man quickly ate the things on the plate, then put the plate in the sink, and quickly disappeared outside the door.
He sat on the side of Charles like an ordinary diner, said something, and left.
After dinner, Charles went to the library and checked out some things about the Brotherhood of Steel.
This is an unofficial civil organization initiated in the Lower Town. What this organization often does at first was to organize workers to strike to fight the exploitation of them by the Central and Upper Towns - although they live in the Lower Towns, the factories they work in are industries owned by the big people in the Upper Towns.
The strike itself is a very radical way, which will inevitably intensify the contradiction between the Brotherhood of Steel and the ruling class. In addition, some workers in the Lower Town who betrayed the class filled the vacancy after their strike, and in the end they suffered only the people of the Brotherhood of Steel.
This also allowed many people to escape from the Iron Brotherhood. It seemed that the Iron Brotherhood, which realized the bottleneck of development, quickly changed its strategy. They changed from open and upright form to underground, and began to vent their dissatisfaction with society by destroying factory equipment and inciting opposition emotions.
Finally, after the Supreme Court's ruling, the Iron and Steel Brotherhood was identified as an extremely violent organization and included in the scope of the attack.
Obviously, these people want to make a big news, but Charles doesn't want to do that.
Unconsciously, assassinating a queen can resolve the contradictions between classes. This behavior is stupid and difficult to resolve. Instead of wasting time thinking about these issues, it is better to think about how you can move past the class and become the person you want to be.
After returning home, the brother and sister sat together and ate some vegetable rolls and vegetable soup. When Charlie packed up all the guys who were eating and prepared to return to the room, Charlie asked her to sit at the table.
"What's wrong, brother, is there anything?"
Shali is a very beautiful girl, about 1.65 meters tall, and her size is no longer short in this world.
She had long flax-colored hair, and was randomly tied by several rubber bands behind her head. Her well-proportioned figure and the little sweatshirt she had made Charles blush inexplicably.
He put the 220 yuan on the table and pushed it over, "I'm sorry I can't give it to you in advance. I just found a solution."
"The pocket money is too much brother..." Twenty yuan is indeed a bit too much for a girl who goes to middle school in Xiacheng District. This is enough to make some people have dangerous ideas. You should know that no matter where you are, robbery is always the fastest way to make money and the lowest cost and IQ requirements, no matter what.
You just need a knife, scissors, or even a knife, fork, or even a banana, and then say "take out the money", and the whole process goes halfway.
"You can take it apart and I think...", Shire looked elsewhere, "You can buy something that girls have more privacy."
Charlie was a little surprised, "Are you talking about the books that Ms. Lyme doesn't show us?"
Charles coughed lightly, "I mean...underwear!"
It is actually very inconvenient for the brother and sister to live in such a simple and cramped room, and summer has arrived, which will become even more inconvenient in the future based on the current situation.
He is different from the former owner of this body. He has lived with Charlie for more than ten years and may have felt bored, but Charlie is now less than ten days old.
Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Undergarten? That's something that only girls in the middle and upper cities will buy. We don't need those things, brother..."
As she said that, she looked down and said, "I will pay attention, but...", she couldn't help laughing again, "We are brothers and sisters, I still remember the naked swimming incident when you were fifteen years old." Seeing that Shire's expression had changed, she quickly stopped laughing, "Okay, I will pay attention. Maybe I changed some smaller clothes into underwear to make you feel more comfortable at home..."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and went back to his room and closed the door, feeling a little hot inexplicably.
This is how summer is. The scorching air blows into thousands of households, which always makes people feel a little restless.
