Chapter 31; Maybe not (ask for recommendation votes and monthly tickets)

However, Adam and Arthur looked at the money Jiang Hao handed over but did not take it.

Instead, he looked at his mother Emma.

"Jiang Hao, we are a family. You can buy gifts for your two cousins, but you can't give them money directly."

"Okay, aunt, I understand." Jiang Hao nodded and took the money.

Then he looked at his two cousins.

"Adam, Arthur, can you accompany me to walk around town later?"

"of course can."

"completely fine."

"Cousin Jiang Hao, can you take me with you?" Bella said from the side.

"Of course." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"By the way, aunt, why don't you see uncle?"

"He's working."

Jiang Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, it was around four or five in the afternoon.

Jiang Hao's uncle Simon, who works outside, and his older cousin Alexander and older cousin Sophia have also returned.

After coming back, the three of them were very happy to hear about Jiang Hao's arrival.

Then Emma cooked a sumptuous dinner and the family had a good meal.

The ingredients were bought by Jiang Hao when he came here before.

After dinner, Jiang Hao took Adam, Arthur and Bella out.

As Emma urged the four of them to come back early, Jiang Hao left home with his two cousins.

When they got outside, Adam and Arthur immediately started to let themselves go, getting extremely excited and chasing each other around.

Although Bella was not so excited, she was also smiling.

The three followed Jiang Hao and asked him some questions as they walked.

For example, why is Jiang Hao's skin color yellow instead of white like theirs?

For example, why is Jiang Hao so tall and strong, how does he eat and exercise on a daily basis.

For example, what is the UK like?

Jiang Hao explained to them one by one without showing any impatience.

Soon, the four of them arrived at a bicycle shop.

His aunt Emma's family had two bicycles.

Simon was riding one of the bikes, and Sophia was riding the other.

As for Alexander, he usually walks to work.

It’s not that I’m not willing to buy a third bike.

But there is no money to buy it.

Emma's family is quite large, although four of them are working.

But because of the war, wages fell and prices rose.

The money the four of them earn is currently barely enough for the family to survive, and there is no money to buy a new bicycle.

In this era, cars have been invented.

But it is simply not affordable for ordinary people.

Most people still ride bicycles.

But the bikes aren’t cheap.

A brand new bicycle costs around two thousand lari.

In the current situation, most people don’t earn that much money after working for a month.

Where can I afford it?

Second-hand ones are much cheaper.

But even a second-hand bicycle, a slightly new one, would cost at least a thousand lari.

There are also cheaper ones that cost a few hundred lari.

But it will be older.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao went to the bicycle dealership and used a 200-gram gold bar to buy a brand new bicycle for Adam and Arthur.

The bicycle shop hasn't been doing very well recently because of the war and not many people come to buy bicycles.

After some bargaining, Jiang Hao successfully bought two brand new bicycles for 200 grams of gold.

Based on the weight of 7.23g per pound, grams of gold is about pounds.

The equivalent of a car is only fourteen pounds, or one thousand one hundred and twenty lari.

But that’s not how the accounts work out.

Larry is still depreciating.

And gold will not depreciate.

If you really count, many people would exchange one pound for one hundred lari. So fourteen pounds is worth more than one thousand four hundred lari.

And because of the war, not many people buy bicycles now.

Opening a new business is also good for the boss.

As a simple industrial product, the cost of a bicycle is actually not high.

Even if it's only fourteen pounds a car, it's still a profit for the car dealer.

Adam and Arthur were very happy with the gifts Jiang Hao gave them.

In later life, this would be like someone giving you a motorcycle as a gift.

As for Bella, Jiang Hao did not give her a bicycle.

Instead, he gave her a women's watch as a gift.

After all, Bella is a girl and she works in a pub.

If she went there by bicycle, her bicycle might be stolen.

Moreover, the public security in Sicily is not as good as it seems.

Of course, except for Bella, Jiang Hao also bought a watch for everyone else as a gift.

Although Jiang Hao didn't have many pounds on him, he had gold, and a lot of it.

After buying the gifts, everyone started to go home.

That night, Jiang Hao stayed at Emma's house.

Arthur gave up his room and went to sleep with Adam.

And his bed temporarily belonged to Jiang Hao.

The next day, Jiang Hao's biological clock made him get up early. After washing up, Jiang Hao practiced Songhe Wanshou Fist in the yard.

Even in the real world, it has become Jiang Hao's habit to practice Songhe Wanshou Fist every day.

After practicing, Jiang Hao found that Arthur was standing not far away and watching.

Jiang Hao knew that he had actually arrived a long time ago.

But Jiang Hao was just concentrating on practicing boxing and ignored him.

"Cool, cousin Jiang Hao, what were you doing just now? Is that a new dance? It looks so cool."

It's obvious that this kid doesn't know what Kung Fu is.

But this is normal.

It was still the World War II era, and European countries had no idea what the term Kung Fu was.

Not to mention that Arthur is just a kid under sixteen years old.

"This is not a dance, but kung fu. You can think of it as a form of fighting."

"So that's how it is. Can you teach me?" Arthur asked hopefully.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

"Probably not, because it's difficult to learn, and you should focus more on your studies right now, Arthur."

"Ok."

Arthur was a little disappointed.

But Jiang Hao did not soften his heart.

It was already troublesome enough to teach Liang Kuan before.

Liang Kuan had some basic knowledge of martial arts, and he was Chinese, so at least he could understand what he was teaching.

And what about Arthur, an Italian, could he understand what acupoints and meridians are?
After the two exchanged a few words, the others also stood up.

Emma was already making breakfast.

After breakfast, those who have jobs go out to work, while those who don’t have jobs stay at home to work.

Those who need to go to school should go to school.

Because of the chaos in public security caused by the war, Adam would take Arthur to school every day.

And today, there is one more Jiang Hao.

Today, Jiang Hao plans to find a suitable house to live in nearby.

By the way, find out some information about Malena.

Jiang Hao has not forgotten the purpose of his coming to this world.

I didn’t have the chance yesterday, but today I must collect some information about Malena.

While having dinner last night, Jiang Hao had already learned from Emma and the others that Italy was still in a wait-and-see state and had not joined the German camp.

In other words, at this point in time, the plot has not officially happened yet.

Malena wasn't even married yet.

And this is obviously good news for Jiang Hao.

If Malena had not yet married, the mission would certainly be easier to accomplish.

After all, Malena's tragic life began when her husband was forced to go to the battlefield in the second week after marrying her.
