Chapter 165 (1/2)

”Boss, you've got two people on the watch.”

With the cold air on the wharf, Qin wine got into the car, while Su Ming closed his eyes with his glass.

”I guess Rogers and Barnes?”

”It's the boss, as you said.”

”Very well. Take down your home address and we'll go together in a few days.” Su Ming finished his drink and turned to look out of the window: ”is there any news from Africa?”

”Not yet, boss. The country named vacanda you mentioned does not exist. No one has heard of it, let alone know where it is...”

Qin Jiu feels guilty for its bad work, but the people below have done their best.

”It doesn't matter. Take your time. As long as there is something, you will find it if you look for it patiently.”

the young Steve woke up from hunger. In his dream, he was eating a cake with beautiful cream and fruit, but he did not know why, the more he ate, the more hungry he became.

The empty stomach made him feel pain. The burning stomach acid made him wake up from his dream.

There was no cake and no food. He just bit his pillow, full of teeth marks and saliva.

Like his father, he only ate a piece of bread today. There was only a little flour and potatoes left in the family, so he had to save.

It was midnight, and the glass of the window was covered with frost. It was cold outside, and even his cabin was not warm at all.

His family is not well-off. His mother was a nurse, but now she is unemployed. She can only sew and wash people occasionally to earn some change. She is very busy.

In today's world, even children know it's hard to make money.

He and his little friend, Bucky, didn't go to school again. They would sell newspapers in the street during the day. If they were lucky, they could only earn more than ten cents. More often, they would like to eat the newspapers to satisfy their hunger.

They met the man who ate the newspaper. There was an old beggar a few blocks away. He and Bucky saw that he had eaten a bunch of newspapers. The next day, they were dragged away by the police under a white cloth.

I don't know whether the cause of death was hunger or eating the newspaper, but he and Bucky were so scared that they could only hope that the paper could be exchanged for normal food.

Bucky's family is a little better. His father is more flexible than his own father. Sometimes he can find some temporary jobs, so his life is a little better, but it's only a little better.

In order not to feel hungry, Steve wrapped himself in a quilt and began to think that maybe his father or himself could find a good job.

But the brain is out of control. He always thinks of the cake in his dream, even if he can eat a cherry decorated on it.

At this time, he heard the door ring. It was his father who came back. The apartment building they lived in was very simple. The sound insulation did not exist.

When the door opens in the middle of the night, all the neighbors can hear it.

He heard Uncle Tom talking to his father in a low voice, but both spoke very fast and looked very happy.

”See you tomorrow, Tom.”

”Ha, see you tomorrow.”

His father closed the door and turned around with his arms in his arms, but in the dim moonlight, Steve was seen walking out of his room wrapped in a quilt.

”Why haven't you gone to bed yet?”

He began to take out what he had in his arms. There were dozens of squares wrapped in brown paper, which were the food sent out by the group, including hamburgers and sandwiches.

When Tom unbuttoned his shirt, it was like two people in his mind to take something out of his pocket.

Although these foods are cold, stuffed into the arms, people shiver, but their hearts are hot, this is hope.

The only strange thing is that although they have worked on the dock, they are not boatman. Why are they assigned to the office of the shipyard?
