My Italian: Chapter 6 prelude
After the party, they naturally went back separately.
Among them, two cousins, Karam and Kopet, were sent back by Peng Gang, while the others were sent back by Pereira.
In the car, neither cousin spoke. Karam was too shocked. On the one hand, it was because of his cousin, and on the other hand, it was because of the information revealed by his mentor, which was worth thinking about.
As for Coppet, he was also thinking about the conversation he had with Mr. Peng today. Don't look at his carefree appearance, this is to underestimate him. You must know that his father has 8 sons. As the second son, he can still become the heir.
Although the times are progressing, the chiefs of Zambian tribes can no longer decide the life and death of the tribesmen, but the chiefs still occupy the majority of land, livestock and wealth. So the chief can't decide your life or death, but he can decide your rich or poor, and even being cruel can make you unable to stay in the tribe.
Don't think that life is easier if you leave the tribe. Farmers who have land in Africa are much better than landless farmers. Unless it is a year of catastrophe, otherwise there will be no hunger.
And those people who go to the city, how can they find a stable job under the condition of per capita prenatal education in Africa? So except for a lucky few, most of them are working odd jobs and living in the slums. You need to endure the situation of being full and hungry, and you also need to accept the oppression of evil forces. It is a miserable life.
But although these people have been oppressed, it is not easy at all to make them believe in communism. Karam and others came here to do publicity before, not only the effect was not satisfactory, but many people asked if they had money to take. Therefore, from the perspective of the development of communism in various countries, if it wants to grow, it must be dominated by intellectuals in the early stage, plus the working class. This is also the standard model of communism in various countries. That's going too far.
For Koppett, he is very satisfied with this meeting with Mr. Peng. What he said was indeed what he thought in his heart. But a little of his own little thought is hidden in it, that is, he hopes to occupy enough weight in the formed political party.
In his view, if a new party were formed by communists, it would have a sufficiently high level of cohesion. He was very impressed at the evening rally. As long as this organization does not make mistakes, the enemy will not be a concern. So whether it is for your own ideals or for your own interests, it is best to join them.
As for risk, there is no risk in doing anything. There are also risks when walking. If you are bitten by a highly poisonous substance, you will die. Capitalists can sell the rope to hang themselves for a hundredfold profit, and now Coppett has a deep understanding.
It didn't take long for the car to send them outside the house.
After getting out of the car and thanking them and watching the car go away, the two stood in place and neither of them moved their legs.
"Cousin, your performance today surprised me, and even made me wonder if you are really my cousin."
Coppett knew that his cousin would have questions, so he looked at the other party and said. "Cousin Kalam, I can answer your doubts. Besides valuing our friendship quite a lot, and because I use Tete as a place to relax, I have eight brothers, five of whom are adults, and I am going to be The Young Chief must perform well enough in front of his father. I have been dressing myself up according to my father's conditions these years, so I can only release myself when I come to you.
Because before you, I was a casual and relaxed me, and when I returned to the tribe, then I was the opposite character, because I had to promise not to disappoint my father. Fortunately, my father would not come to see my aunt. But today, after listening to Mr. Peng's speech, I realized that it would be a failure to go back and wait to succeed the chief. I want to do great things and show off my ambitions, and I want everyone to know me. And communism is the best choice. Communism has cohesion and a strong enough will. The spirit of never saying never. I…"
In Kopet's narration, an image of a boy who was forced to change appeared in Kalam's mind, a picture of fighting with people and heaven.
"By the way, I will tell you a secret. I broke the leg of Sampa, the son of the chief of the Kabuka tribe, not because of anger, but because his brother Tubuk paid me for it."
"Cousin, how can you..."
"He offered 200,000 Kwachas (about 150,000 RMB, 18,000 U.S. dollars
Now Karam has nothing to say, such a large amount of wealth is enough to buy dozens of lives, not to mention breaking his legs.
"I know Tubuke's thoughts. This is trying to use me to remove Sampa's threat to him. He is a smart man, knowing that I will make Sampa lose face. I fulfilled his wish and sent his brother Broken leg."
Karam has nothing to say now, his cousin really needs to get to know him again.
While the two cousins of Kalam were talking, Pereira, who had returned home after a routine quarrel with his father, was in his room at this time. A bright desk lamp illuminates the table, on which Pereira is now hard at work.
"Nuram is from Moatize and his father is a coal mine administrator. I can be approached to talk to him."
After jotting down a name, Pereira rummaged through his notebook again. This notebook is terrible. If someone finds it, most of the communists gathered by Peng Gang will be lost.
And Pereira kept this notebook as a backup, although it was incomplete, it contained most of it. In addition, there are two more notebooks for personnel records, one incomplete in Karam's hand, and the entire list in Peng Gang's hand.
"Bang bang~"
Just as Pereira was concentrating on selecting the list, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"The young master is me."
"Wait a mininute."
Upon hearing that it was Grandpa Bogarde, the housekeeper, Pereira quickly put the notebook and papers in the drawer. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
"Grandpa Bogard, haven't you rested yet?"
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the butler grandpa.
"Master Pereira, I saw that the light in your room is still on, so I came here to take a look. Can the young master have a chat with you?"
"Come in, Grandpa Bogard."
The old butler walked into the room and looked at Pereira. "Master Pereira, I am an old man who has experienced three generations of masters, and among them, I am most optimistic about you, young master."
As he spoke, the old housekeeper touched his pocket and took out an envelope.
"Master, I don't know what activities you are participating in, but I know that no matter what the activities are, you need money to support them. This is my wish, and I hope the young master can accept it."
"Grandpa Bogarde, how can I ask for your money. You still have to live, and there are a lot of people in the family who need to live."
Facing the old butler's envelope, Pereira quickly waved his hand. He knew the old butler's situation. There were more than ten people in his family, and the financial situation was not bad, but there was definitely not much money left. How could he ask for an old man's pension money? "
The old butler smiled at what little Pereira said. "Young master, most of the money is given by the master, and only the change is mine. Although the master has been arguing with you all this time, he is just for the family. Although you have made him unhappy, his favorite thing is still It's you, young master, take it, this is not only my wish, but also the master's wish. You will never let the two elders down."
Well, in the face of the old housekeeper's words, Pereira can only accept it.
The old butler who fulfilled his wish left. Pereira opened the envelope, and inside was a check for US$500,100 from a Swiss bank. It seemed that the change was given by the old butler.
At this moment, Pereira was full of emotions, thinking of his father and the old housekeeper, tears came to his eyes at this moment.
