Chapter 789: First Visit to Hong Kong Island
Deng Ying was in a good mood when she saw Qiao Jiayue, and she didn't know what she talked about with Gu Wenying, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.
The bathroom in the hotel is a bathing facility that cannot be popularized in China for a short time, Qiao Jiayue is very curious, and has studied it for a long time.
Then she noticed that the bed was very soft and elastic, unlike their traditional wooden plank bed.
Qiao Jiayue thought, such a soft bed must be very comfortable to sleep on.
However, it turns out that the body has a memory, and sleeping in this kind of bed, the body does not feel comfortable, and the next day wakes up with back pain and is very uncomfortable.
Deng Ying pressed several big acupuncture points on Qiao Jiayue's body, and then went out of the room, on the first floor, Gu Wenying arrived early, drinking coffee and waiting for them.
"Wen Ying, have you been here for a long time?" It was only a little past seven o'clock, so what time did Gu Wenying come and wait.
"Soon, Jiayue, I'll take you to eat a delicious rice rolls, and then we can prepare to pass through customs. ”
Qiao Jiayue thought of the backpack that was still in the room, "Wait, let's take the luggage away, you can return the room." ”
Gu Wenying thought about it and agreed, so that she would have a reason to stay on Hong Kong Island for two more days.
Qiao Jiayue ate rice noodles for the first time, and was very surprised by this kind of food, according to Gu Wenying, there is a hotel specializing in Cantonese cuisine on Hong Kong Island, and the morning tea is very good.
Then Qiao Jiayue found out that the customs was not as tall as she thought, at the exit, there were still people setting up stalls, and there would be people from Hong Kong Island coming to buy vegetables, which was an eye-opener for Qiao Jiayue.
With the temporary pass that consultant Zhang helped to handle, Qiao Jiayue and Deng Ying passed through the customs smoothly and entered Hong Kong Island with Gu Wenying.
The architectural style of Hong Kong Island is basically Western-style, with high-rise buildings and a lot of advertisements on the streets.
Sometimes, through some alleys, you can see bamboo poles sticking out of the windows upstairs, and clothes are hanging on them.
Downstairs, there are all kinds of small businesses, shouting and shouting one after another.
Qiao Jiayue looked curiously at this strange and bustling city, it was summer, many people wore shorts with short sleeves to the knees, and girls wore skirts and high heels, which were colorful, which was completely unseen in China.
And as she walked, Qiao Jiayue would also see some people swaggering through the streets shirtless with blue-black tattoos on their bodies, and the stall owners on the roadside would greet them with smiles.
Gu Wenying introduced the situation on Hong Kong Island to Qiao Jiayue, this is a complicated situation, gang organizations have always existed, but after a crackdown, it is not so serious now.
On her own turf, Gu Wenying was like a fish in water, she got her own car first, and drove Qiao Jiayue and Deng Ying to eat, authentic bacon claypot rice.
"Our school may not be as big as your school, but the school's collection of books is definitely not less. Gu Wenying drove to her school, she is now a graduate student, and she will graduate in another year.
Qiao Jiayue looked at the university curiously, the building looked taller than the Qing University, and the structure was also a little different.
Under the leadership of Gu Wenying, they entered the library, and when they saw the bookshelves up to the ceiling, their eyes were almost straight.
Qiao Jiayue said hello to Gu Wenying, and Deng Ying went straight to the bookshelf they were interested in, and began to flip through it.
Bilingual education is practiced here, so many books are also available in English.
Qiao Jiayue's main purpose is related to chemistry, of course, she mainly reads magazines and periodicals, and has been reading some recently published books.
And Deng Ying is similar, looking for information about computers.
Gu Wenying looked at the serious appearance of the two of them, and felt that she had really brought them to the right place.
The electric fan overhead was whirling, and Gu Wenying took a magazine and sat cross-legged on the ground to read it.
Materials can be bought in the system mall, but Qiao Jiayue wants to know how far the rest of the world has developed.
She hopes that the speed of turning the book will be fast, and she will look at it at a glance, which in the eyes of outsiders, she is not reading at all, but making trouble.
So when a girl next to her asked Qiao Jiayue to stop and not make a sound in English, Qiao Jiayue didn't react immediately.
Qiao Jiayue frowned, took the magazine to the side, and continued to look at herself.
Seeing Qiao Jiayue like this, the girl couldn't help muttering a few words, about the meaning of the inferior people of the buns.
Qiao Jiayue frowned unhappily, and returned the original sentence of what the girl said, as for whether the other party heard it or not, it was none of her business.
Qiao Jiayue flipped through the pages almost, and saw that Deng Ying took out a paper and pen and was taking notes, so she sat down next to Gu Wenying, holding a newspaper in her hand.
When she saw the newspapers on Hong Kong Island, she realized that it was different from China. There are not only special advertising pages on it, but also serials, celebrity gossip and so on.
Qiao Jiayue watched it with relish, and couldn't help but take several newspapers and read them again, she found that the existing newspapers still had current affairs commentary, and her words were sharp, and she was dumbfounded.
At the bottom of a newspaper, there is also a photograph of a group of people sitting on the ground, holding signs such as "Give me back my hard-earned money."
Qiao Jiayue was a little puzzled, raised her hand and touched Gu Wenying's arm, and asked her what was going on.
"The company went bankrupt and the severance pay of the employees was not paid, which is being negotiated. Gu Wenying explained, it is not strange to see such a phenomenon at all.
If Qiao Jiayue lived on Hong Kong Island for a longer time, she would have seen more scenes.
"Does no one care about this?" Qiao Jiayue asked curiously, if this was the mainland, it would definitely be expelled.
"As long as they don't make trouble, the police station won't take care of it. Gu Wenying shook her head, "Besides, the world's economy has been sluggish in the past two years, and there have been many bankrupt companies. ”
Gu Wenying rummaged through a pile of expired newspapers and found a few copies, "There is a report on Britain that workers are unemployed, and they take to the streets to protest against the government. ”
Qiao Jiayue took the English newspaper and read it quickly, the world outside was different from what she thought in many ways!
"It's incredible!" Qiao Jiayue sighed, like their college student march, in addition to petitioning for the educated youth to return to the city, there are also some exciting things to march, and there don't seem to be many others.
Everyone has not yet learned to question and resist.
"In fact, these are not uncommon on Hong Kong Island, and our school also has a student union group to organize a parade, whether it is large or small, depending on the situation. ”
Qiao Jiayue was thoughtful.
At this time, Deng Ying finally finished writing the information, he walked over and picked up a newspaper casually.
"Do you want to continue reading? If not, I'll give you coffee, right?"
Qiao Jiayue thought about it and agreed, "Then let's go." "I want to talk about "Sixty Farming" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
