Tsz Wan Estate, Wong Tai Sin District, Kowloon.

Fok Yaowen got up at eight o'clock, cleaned up from school, and set off to take a boat back to his home in Kowloon.

As soon as she arrived at the door, just a few seconds after knocking on the door, Huo Tingting rushed out, and after opening the door, she was sure that the person who came was Brother A, and put her arm around Huo Yaowen and said excitedly: "Brother, your book is published, published!"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "You just know? It's been more than ten days." ”

"I already knew that. Huo Tingting snorted and said, "When I was in school, I bought your books and recommended them to my classmates." ”

"Is that right? Seeing Huo Tingting's appearance of being praised by someone, Huo Yaowen rubbed her head, and did not disappoint her, and praised her directly.

"Hee-hee. ”

Listening to her brother praise herself, Huo Tingting grinned, not to mention how happy she was, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly dragged Huo Yaowen into the house, pointed to the seven or eight copies of "Sweet Honey" stacked on the table and said, "Brother, these are all my classmates asked me to bring back for you to sign." ”

"Okay. Huo Yaowen agreed.

Huo Tingting said proudly: "There were still a lot of them, but I couldn't put my bag, and in the end I came back with them, and I couldn't take them with me if there were too many." ”

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he thought about it and asked, "Are there many people in your school?"

"Much! a lot!" Huo Tingting said busily: "Brother, you don't know, there are at least a dozen people in our class who have bought your books, and there are more in other classes and ages, when I was eating in the school cafeteria, I looked around, and many people were holding your books to read." Later, the nun didn't allow us to see it, so we had to sneak it back to the dormitory to see it. ”

"The nun doesn't even care what books she reads?" Huo Yaowen was stunned.

"yes. Huo Tingting pursed her lips: "The nuns in our school are very strict, and they don't like us to read this kind of book." ”

Huo Yaowen had never studied in the school established by the Anglican Church, so he didn't know much about the management of this kind of school, and when he heard Huo Tingting say this, he didn't care much about it, and said casually: "If you don't look at it, you won't watch it, you still focus on learning in school." ”

"Got it. Huo Tingting said perfunctorily.

Huo Yaowen glanced at the room, and saw that he hadn't seen his mother and grandmother for so long, and said in surprise: "What about grandma and grandma? Didn't you say that you went to pick up your uncle's family at noon?"

"Yes, Grandma and Grandma went to the new housing estate to clean up and make the bed, saying that it was left for my uncle's family to live in. Huo Tingting said with some grievances: "Why should the new house be lived in by my uncle's family, can't we live well? ”

Originally, when Huo Tingting came back last week, she heard her mother say that she might have to move to a new housing estate this week, and planned to go home during the holiday this week to pack some luggage and move in, but at this time, she heard that she was going to live with her uncle's family, and she was immediately disappointed.

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he said: "Okay, my uncle's family will not be able to find a place to live for a while when they come back from the United States, so they must arrange accommodation for them first, and in the future, my uncle and his family will find a new place to live, and they may move at any time." ”

Hearing Huo Yaowen say this, Huo Tingting felt a lot more comfortable, she was actually not an ignorant child, but she felt that the new house was not lived in by herself, so she lived with her uncle's family who had never seen her, which was naturally a little uncomfortable.

After a while.

When Huo Yaowen was still signing the books brought by these young sisters one by one, the sound of unlocking sounded at the door, and when he turned his head to look, he saw his mother and grandmother walking in with a smile.

Seeing her son sitting in the house, Grandma said happily, "Yaowen is back." ”

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen responded and asked, "Mother, what time is the plane for my uncle's family?"

"I asked your dad to check it yesterday, it should be around half past eleven in the morning. ”

Eleven.

Huo Yaowen glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost half past ten, and it was only more than an hour before the plane arrived in Hong Kong.

Grandma saw what the good grandson was writing there, and couldn't help but walk over and take a look, and saw that the table was full of books, and after seeing the title of the book, she asked curiously, "This is your book?"

"Yes, my sister brought it, and said that their classmates brought it back for me to sign. Huo Yaowen grinned.

Before Grandma could continue to say something, Huo Mu on the side was suddenly surprised: "Oh! Yaowen, hurry up and go to Li Yuan Restaurant to book a place, don't wait for it to be full." ”

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he nodded "um", covered the pen in his hand, cleaned up the table, and turned around: "Do you want to order something deliberately?"

"Just look at it yourself and order a table. Grandma shook her head and said.

"Okay. ”

Huo Yaowen took his coat and prepared to go out.

The younger sister who happened to go out to the toilet came back, saw that Brother was going out, and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Go to Lee Garden Restaurant to book a place. ”

Huo Tingting's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "I'll go too, I'll go, I'll go anywhere, I want where to roast goose, I haven't eaten roast goose for a long time." ”

"Let's go. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't care, so he took his younger sister and walked towards Lee Garden Restaurant, which was not far from the estate.

...

11:10 a.m., Kowloon South Bank, Kai Tak Airport.

Huo Yaowen and others stood at the pick-up place and waited for the arrival of his uncle's family.

Accompanied by the announcement in the airport, saying that when the passenger plane from San Francisco to Hong Kong Airport arrived, Huo Tingting held a big sign that had been prepared and happily waited for her uncle's family at the aisle.

After a while, the passengers who got off the plane walked out of the aisle one after another, a group of hulala, there were a lot of people, Huo Yaowen had to stand on tiptoe and look at the innermost, for fear of missing it.

More than ten seconds later, Huo Yaowen suddenly saw Wanjun's cousin pushing a big suitcase out of the exit, followed by his uncle and uncle, and hurriedly shouted: "Wanjun's side!"

"Where? "Where?" Huo Tingting had never seen her uncle's family in reality except for seeing her uncle's family in the photo, so when she looked at the group of people who appeared in Ulala, she was a little stunned, and when she heard her brother calling that cousin Wanjun, she also hurriedly stood on tiptoe and desperately tried to find them.

The grandma behind her was also a little excited, but she was not tall and there were many people, so she didn't notice her uncle when she stood on tiptoe.

"Wanjun!!"

Huo Yaowen shouted again, but the crowd around him who shouted one after another also covered his voice.

But maybe it was Zhang Wanjun who heard someone shouting to herself, looked left and right for a while, and then noticed her cousin Huo Yaowen who was standing on the periphery, raised her hand happily and waved at him, and then turned back to say something to her uncle and uncle.

Uncle and they looked at it at this time, and after seeing Huo Yaowen, they also smiled happily and waved their hands.

Huo Tingting, who was still at a loss, noticed a few people walking towards her at this time, and when she saw Zhang Wanjun, who was the same as her cousin in the photo, she happily held the sign and waved desperately.

After a while, my uncle's family came out of the aisle and walked towards Huo Yaowen excitedly.

"Cousin!"

Uncle Zhang Huawei shouted happily after seeing his grandmother.

"Warwick!"

Grandma looked at her cousin who she hadn't seen for almost 20 years, not to mention how excited she was, and grabbed her cousin's hand tremblingly and said, "It's been 20 years, I haven't seen her for 20 years." ”

In the Zhang family's generation, Grandma has a close relationship with this cousin, and several other sisters and brothers were all beaten to death during the anti-Japanese war, ran away, and fell to the end, leaving only her and Zhang Huawei still have a trace of contact.

But later Zhang Huawei also traveled to the West and opened a restaurant in the United States.

Hearing his cousin's words, Zhang Huawei suddenly sighed with emotion, and sighed again and again: "Yes, cousin, 20 years have passed in a flash." ”

The aunt on the side looked at Grandma, and she was also so happy that she almost cried, and shouted with a crying voice: "Aunt!"

"Chunfen!"

Grandma stepped forward, looked at Zhang Chunfen, and said again and again: "It's big, it's big, when you left, you were only as big as Yaowen." ”

Zhang Chunfen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, led Zhang Wanjun and said, "Auntie, this is your granddaughter, Wanjun, called Grandma." ”

"Grandma. Zhang Wanjun shouted politely.

"Okay, good, Wanjun is much more beautiful than in the photo. Grandma had seen the photos brought back by Huo Yaowen before, so she knew Zhang Wanjun, walked forward with a smile, grabbed the girl's hand, and praised her for being beautiful again and again.

Zhang Wanjun was a little embarrassed.

Huo Tingting also leaned in at this time and said, "Cousin Wanjun." ”

"Are you Tingting's cousin?" Looking at the girl in front of her, Zhang Wanjun said suspiciously.

"Yes. Huo Tingting smiled with her eyebrows.

At this time, the grandmother said to a few people: "Uncle, let's go home." ”

"Uh-huh, yes, go home. When Grandma heard this, she nodded hurriedly.

...

Because there were more people, after Huo Yaowen went out, he recruited two taxis, and he took his uncle, aunt and mother to take one car, and Huo Tingting took the two old people and her cousin Zhang Wanjun to take one.

Along the way, my aunt sat in the back, looking at the urban area of Hong Kong at this time, although many places are still very dilapidated, and the ground is also Huangsha Road, but I also saw a lot of construction sites that are still under construction.

It is much better than Hong Kong 20 years ago, and the rows of high-rise buildings alone are not comparable to the small fishing ports of 20 years ago.

"Hong Kong has changed a lot over the years. My aunt lived in Hong Kong for a period of time in her early years, although she lived on Hong Kong Island, but she still vaguely remembered the situation in Kowloon, and after seeing so many high-rise buildings and residential areas, she sighed: "When I came to Hong Kong, Kowloon was full of shacks, but I didn't expect that in less than 20 years, high-rise buildings were erected." ”

Before Huo Yaowen could reply, the driver of the car took the lead in saying: "Miss, you are coming back from abroad, Hong Kong has changed a lot now, I have taken a lot of people who have come back from abroad in the past two years, they are very surprised to see the development of Hong Kong today, the south bank is not bad, go to Yau Tsim Wang to see, where the change is really big, every night the lights are bright, not to mention how lively the night market is." ”

My aunt listened to the driver's words and responded with a smile: "I'll go and see." ”

Immediately, he looked at the scenery outside the car window.

Compared with Zhang Chunfen, Zhang Zhide has never been to Hong Kong before, and looking at the many high-rise buildings outside, but it is much better than Chinatown, he can't help but clench his fists, and feel that maybe this time to come to Hong Kong is a good choice.

Soon, the group returned to Tsz Wan Shan and did not go back to the old house, but went directly to the new estate.

Huo Yaowen helped her aunt and others carry the big suitcase, followed behind her younger sister Huo Tingting, and walked in the direction of the elevator, and soon the people behind followed closely.

When cousin Zhang Wanjun saw the elevator, she was taken aback and said, "There are elevators here?"

"It's a new estate. ”

My mother looked at her niece with a smile and said, "This new estate has an elevator, and although the area is not large, it has a separate bathroom and a kitchenette. ”

Zhang Chunfen had learned about Hong Kong's housing estates before she came, and she just wanted to apply for a housing estate to live in after returning to Hong Kong, but now she heard her mother say that there are elevators, bathrooms and kitchens, and she was surprised: "Is Hong Kong's public housing facilities so good now?"

Mother nodded: "Yes, the new housing estates in the future will all come according to this, and they will not be the same as before, with a few public toilets on the first floor." ”

After a while, the group took the elevator upstairs.

When I arrived at the new home, although there was still a trace of decoration smelling inside, the internal environment was very good, the cabinets, dining tables, and pots and pans prepared in the kitchen, and even the sheets in the two bedrooms were laid, which was just like the bag check-in in the later generations, which moved my aunt very much.

Grandma and Grandma helped pack the luggage of several people, and Grandma said: "Chunfen, you will stay here for the time being, we will live in the front, if there is anything missing, you can contact me directly." ”

"No need, auntie. Zhang Chunfen hurriedly said: "This preparation is so good, the sheets are all made, and you can live directly at night." ”

Uncle Zhang Huawei also said: "Cousin, don't be so angry, this house is much better than what I live in Chinatown." ”

What he said is also true, since the sale of the restaurant, the house he lives in, although facing the street, but the windows are facing the alley, it is difficult to get sunlight, this house is different, not only the kitchen has a row of windows, even the door has a huge corridor, the sun can directly shine into the house.

"Good, good. Grandma saw that her uncle's family was satisfied, and she also responded with a smile.

Huo Yaowen, who was helping his uncle carry his luggage on the side, glanced at his watch after he finished it all, and said to a few people: "Uncle and aunt, the time is almost up, let's go downstairs and eat." ”

"Yes, let's go to dinner. Grandma nodded.

My uncle was puzzled: "Don't wait to become a talent?"

Auntie approached and said, "Uncle, Chengcai went back by himself, and he has been notified before, so he may have arrived at this time." ”

"Good. ”
