Chapter 219 Wasted Effort?
Song Tingnan was extremely angry. Even Qian Shuzhen, an old woman from the countryside, knew this history, yet now someone was whitewashing the Japanese, and this person was a foreign-Chinese high school teacher. Tingnan was so angry that she wanted to swear and even wanted to put a sack over her head.
At the dinner table, Ting Nan couldn't help but complain to Song Yanchu: "Uncle, if they can hire teachers like this from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, how can Japan be forgiven? Who has the right to forgive them...?"
I really want to go back to Yunxiang County.
"You're still not convinced when I call you a child? Isn't it normal for people to be of varying abilities? If there's a rat dropping in a bag of rice, you can just pick it out. Why do you throw up the whole bag?" In Song Yanchu's opinion, this was nothing.
Hearing this, Nan got excited and leaned over to whisper, "Uncle, would you like to come with me to put sacks on the ground?"
"Uh...cough cough..." Song Yanchu choked.
"Uncle, you come with me to keep watch, leave everything else to me. I know all the tricks, I know that person's whereabouts, I guarantee it will be exciting and satisfying!" Ting Nan coaxed her uncle.
……
"You got impulsive, you got excited. Listen to me, what are you going to do after you pull off this heist?"
Song Tingnan winked and said, "Uncle, while he's recovering, I need to make some good preparations before I start sharpening my knives to slaughter the pigs and sheep! Hehehe!"
The observation and tracking during this period were not in vain. In addition to knowing Tian Song's whereabouts and beating him up, they also discovered a pattern in him: every Monday at noon he would go out to make a phone call.
Ting Nan sensed something fishy was going on. How could she eavesdrop on his phone conversation? This person was very alert; he always covered his mouth when he made calls, making it impossible to read his lips.
Is there no way to solve this? Ting Nan tightened her cotton-padded coat. The weather is getting colder and colder. Will it snow this winter? She's a little homesick. They did manage to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Winter vacation is almost here. Her brother Zheng Ruidong said they'd come to celebrate the Lunar New Year together. She's so excited!
As Nan walked along, he wondered what gifts he should bring home for his family. Mingxiang and Mingli were in fourth grade, so he thought he could buy them a radio. Nowadays, radios can not only play news, music, and dramas, but also record audio, so the whole family can use them.
Recording? Oh right! "Uncle, let's go to the phone booth and make a call home!" Ting Nan grabbed Song Yanchu and ran outside, whispering her plan along the way.
Once inside the phone booth, Ting Nan actually called Jiang Qianqian to chat. Jiang Qianqian said she would have her godfather drive over during winter break. Since it was the end of the year, and there were many people and some things to bring, it wouldn't be convenient to have a crowded car, so Ting Nan didn't refuse.
The two then observed the area and determined the location for the radio. Fortunately, not many people were making outgoing calls, and there were only two phone booths nearby. Just in case, Ting Nan decided to buy the radios for her younger brothers first, and use them together with her own.
On Monday noon, Song Yanchu hid the two radios in advance, waiting for Tian Song to appear so he could retrieve them after making his call. Since Ting Nan was at school at that time, Song Yanchu was in charge.
Several weeks passed without any significant developments. Ting Nan was starting to feel discouraged; had they been attacking in the wrong direction?
Ting Nan decided to pick up her old trade again—selling fruit door-to-door. Then she heard a lot of gossip: Tian Song had been married for many years but had no children; Tian Song was aloof and had almost no relatives or friends, and was not good at socializing; Tian Song lived a secluded life and had a strained relationship with his wife…
Most importantly, I listened to Nan and Tian Song's wife chatting.
