50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 199: I Can’t Die Anyway

Now that he had money, of course he wanted to improve his life, so Sun Zhiwei increased the food allowance for each meal from 20 pence to 40 pence.

Susan would not object at all and would only be delighted, as this would allow her to earn an extra 5pence a day.

As for Sun Zhiwei's request to only fill in 20 pence per meal on the monthly receipt, that is not a problem at all.

As long as Sun Zhiwei pays her, she will serve him until he is satisfied.

In the following days, he did not take any action, but instead used the reading week to go shopping in the city. After being here for several months, he had not even seen London Bridge and Big Ben.

The Kray brothers in the East District were frantically looking for their enemies. They didn't know who their enemies were, but everyone who had offended them in the past had been subjected to crazy revenge.

If you want to destroy your enemy, you must first make him crazy. The Kray brothers are crazy now.

A few days later, Sun Zhiwei passed by a newsstand and saw the headline of The Times on display.

In bold black letters, a breaking news that had not been published before was published: "The Kray brothers have fallen!"

This piqued his interest and he immediately bought a copy to read carefully.

The content is not complicated. Because of the crazy actions of the Kray brothers, calls from various powerful people almost blew up the telephones in Scotland Yard.

Scotland Yard felt the pressure and started arresting people immediately without waiting for more evidence.

Just yesterday, not only the Kray brothers, but also all the existing leaders under his command, big and small, were captured.

What surprised them was that several leaders disappeared, along with their minions, the night before the Kray brothers went crazy.

But that doesn't matter. Scotland Yard's main target is the Kray brothers, and they won't let the brothers come out again this time.

This is because, just four years ago, on December 4, 1969, the British Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty.

Since then, the crime rate in the UK has been rising year by year and has never dropped.

Therefore, even if the Kray brothers are now guilty of multiple murders, the most they will be sentenced to is life imprisonment.

Later, perhaps because the sentencing judge was so angry, he added an additional sentence of life imprisonment for the two brothers, which prohibited them from being eligible for parole for the first 30 years.

The once powerful Kray brothers disappeared from then on, but the citizens of London did not feel that the public security was much better.

Because many new and old gangs began to seize the territory left behind after the fall of the Kray brothers. In the following months, the security in the East District was even worse than in the Kray brothers' era.

After reading the news in the newspaper, Sun Zhiwei happily rushed to the embassy. Today was the last day of the reading week, and it happened to be the weekend, so he needed to go to the embassy to attend the study.

When he arrived at the embassy, ​​he found that there were a lot more people there that day.

After asking a familiar embassy staff, he learned that a new group of international students had arrived in China. These students were all here to learn English, but they were much younger. This was another junior class.

The students arrived on Monday and had been arranged to go to a school in Hounslow a few days ago to start their studies.

Hounslow used to be a small town on the edge of London, but now it has become a district of Greater London, with a status similar to Fangshan and Daxing in the capital.

Sun Zhiwei looked at these new students with great interest, but he soon saw a look of panic on the face of the comrade leading the team?

Soon after, the study began. Because there were so many people, they were divided into several groups. The organizational members formed their own group, and the younger ones were divided into two groups.

In addition to the required content, the host also pulled out several newspapers from China and began reading the latest news. It had been several months, and there had been very little news from China. He hadn't received a reply to the letter he sent to Tong Jiajia and Director Wang last month.

Without going through a special channel, the letter would circulate too slowly, and I don’t know what the situation is like at home.

It is nice to be able to listen to domestic newspapers nowadays, so he listened to the host reading the newspaper very carefully.

"On July 7, a family planning leadership group was established, proposing the 'late, sparse, and few' strategy."

"What does it mean?" The host began to interpret the content after reading one line.

"'Late' refers to late marriage and late childbearing, meaning men marry after 25 and women after 23, and women give birth after 24."

“‘Rare’ means the birth interval is more than 3 years;”

"'Fewer' means fewer children, meaning a couple should have no more than two children."

"Leaders have said publicly: China is so large, and they're afraid. We're afraid too, because with so many people, they need to eat and wear clothes, and that creates a lot of problems."

While someone on the stage was talking non-stop, Sun Zhiwei was recalling the plans of previous years.

Back then, people said, "Two is just right, three is too many." Now, it's changed to "No more than two, and three is not even worth mentioning."

There is already an incremental trend here. In a few years, the rule of "at most two" will be removed and replaced with "preferably one" until it is confirmed by legislation in the 1980s.

I remember that year he asked Tong Jiajia to spread the news, telling those who wanted to have children to do so quickly, and he has achieved fruitful results in recent years.

It seemed that while he was training in the language training class, the quickest teachers had already started sending their children to kindergarten.

This is very good. It just staggers the time and the park won’t be in trouble. If the regulations become stricter in the future, it will be difficult for the women’s directors of various units.

Just as his thoughts began to wander, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and an embassy staff member hurried in and ran to the leader on the stage and whispered in his ear.

Sun Zhiwei saw the leader on the stage's face suddenly turn pale, and then he stood up and left the meeting room.

Everyone was talking in the audience, and the host quickly slapped the table and said, "Everyone, be quiet. The leader has something urgent to deal with. Let's continue."

Then, the host continued reading from the newspaper: "On August 8, my country's first integrated circuit capable of performing 26 million operations per second was developed."

This is still a bombshell news, but the situation on the stage just now made everyone start to associate things, and few people in the audience were willing to listen carefully.

Seeing that the meeting could no longer proceed, the deputy leader on the stage decided to end the meeting early.

"Today's meeting ends here. Everyone, please stay put. We're having dumplings for lunch today. If you're late, there won't be any left. Please disband."

The leader led the way out, and everyone followed in groups of three or four.

Sun Zhiwei saw Sun Manyi and Wu Zuze, who were in the same batch as him, standing not far away, so he went over.

The three of them were already familiar with each other, so they left the meeting room together. On the way, Sun Zhiwei asked the two of them about the situation.

Sun Manyi is a lesbian who has a good relationship with several lesbians in the embassy. She is always well-informed. At this time, she was whispering the news she had heard before the meeting.
