September 12th was a historic day.
On September 12th, 1943, Nazi Germany launched a Gran Sasso raid aimed at rescuing Mussolini, which, unfortunately, succeeded.
On September 12th, 1948, the Battle of Liaohsi started, and the Chinese nation marked the beginning of the most powerful chapter for unification in modern history.
On September 12th, 1959, Luna 2 was the first man-made object to land on another celestial body; it landed successfully on the moon. This meant that the people on Earth had the ability to send things to another planet in the galaxy!
Hans was soaking his feet in the ditch as he recited all this information, showing off to Li Du and others.
”On September 12th, 1985, UNCTAD called for the cancellation of trade deficits of the underdeveloped countries, which was a great proposal. What’s most remarkable is that on September 12th of 1980, a child was born ...”
As he said this, he looked at the crowd and then fixed his gaze on Li Du. ”Li, you know who this is, right? Tell everyone in your loudest voice.”
Li Du sighed, ”An evil man was born. His arrival in Flagstaff caused the entire United States to become a mess. His name is... Hans Fox!”
”Wrong. It’s Yao Ming, Yao from China! NBA Yao Ming!” Hans laughed. ”The great Big Fox was born in 1981—haha!”
Li Du gave him the middle finger. The rogue had tricked him!
Soon a delivery truck pulled onto the site. Hannah ran over to pick up an enormous cake. Stephen helped her carry it. The cake was big and smelled good even though the box had it fully covered up. Li Du breathed in the delicious aroma.
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles licked their mouths and sat beside Li Du, putting on their best behavior as they waited for some cake to be given to them.
Big Quinn was preparing the barbecue. He dug a large pit in the camp to make a mud oven. This was a common way of barbecue in Central and Southern America.
The skewered meat rotated in the large pit within the hot fire; the oil of the skewered meat dripped onto the pit, making sizzling sounds.
Godzilla took a bottle of beer and handed it to him; the two muscular men, with their intense auras, sat together and drank their beer.
Hannah had bought only one single crab from the supermarket. But everyone said ”Wow!” when she took the crab out. It was enormous and daunting—it had to be at least 10 or 11 pounds.
Li Du was surprised at how large it was. ”What kind of crab is this?”
”It’s the Tasmanian king crab,” said a gleeful Hannah. ”I bought the biggest one in all of Flagstaff.”
”How much does it cost?” Big Quinn asked. His kids had been asking to eat some crab, but he hadn’t yet bought any for them.
Although Arizona was close to California, which was rich in seafood, the seafood in Flagstaff was very costly. The reason was that Flagstaff was situated near the center of Arizona, which was rather far away from the coastal areas. In addition, it was not easy to preserve the seafood, as one needed to pass through the large areas of desert in order to get to Flagstaff.
Hannah said, ”Well, it’s definitely expensive. That crab cost me 1,400 dollars.”
Li Du exclaimed, ”Tisk, tisk, tisk—now the young lady’s willing to spend money.”
He knew that Hannah was all along a thrifty girl. When he’d rented the room from Hannah for six months, he never saw Hannah spend more than 100 dollars on groceries.
Hannah giggled, ”Money’s just a number to me now.”
Li Du gave Hannah a thumbs-up. ”Cool.”
Hans was exasperated and retorted, ”Cool, my foot! I gave her the money!”
Generally, when Hans got the proceeds from the sales of the valuable items, he would give half of his earnings to the Welfare home. One quarter would go to Hannah, and the remaining quarter was for himself.
Hannah was not like Hans; she was not a big spender, so she saved up most of the money that Hans would give her. And for the past few months she had saved up quite a large amount. Now she had around 200,000 to 300,000 dollars in cash on hand.
