Chapter 185: Jack's New Life in Port City
When it comes to living in Port City, the happiest is Jack, who is six years old and about to start his life as a primary school student. This summer vacation was also his last vacation without homework.
Every day, I started an adventure life with the old man and the old lady, and went to the small community park nearby every day to get some activities and exercise. The old man had classmates from the south when he was young, and there were some overseas Chinese from Guangdong Province in Los Angeles, so he said that it was not good after a long time, and there was no problem in understanding. The old lady is the same, just slightly worse.
The environment here is good, and it is an area where the senior middle class gathers, and the overall quality of personnel is also very high, either to open a company with money or to be a senior position, everyone has no burden after retirement, exercise and find someone to chat has become a due activity, and finally you can go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities by the way. Of course, many elderly people will also bring their grandchildren, after all, the holidays here have already begun.
According to the definition of the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong City, households with a monthly income of HK$10,000 to HK$40,000 are middle-class households, so 55% of Hong Kong households are middle-class households. And where Guo Yi lives, due to the relatively high housing prices and complete service facilities, the general income of people here exceeds the upper limit of this standard, and Guo Yi is just a software company with an annual income of more than one million dollars, which has basically reached the income of the wealthy here, but Zhao Hong told her that there is a problem with the economy of Hong Kong City, the housing price is too high, and it is estimated that there will be a big drop in one or two years, so there is no purchase of villas for the time being, and the same is true for Chen Xiaomei.
Every day the old man and the old lady exercised, Jack followed him to the park to play with his new friends, and after just a week, Jack also began to speak the same Hong Kong dialect, although there were only a few commonly used words, but at least there was no problem in listening. Jack doesn't look at his age, he is indeed very smart compared to his peers, and even a little cunning, and in less than a month, he has pulled two little girls of the same age to play with her every day. It's hand in hand every day.,It's natural for my brothers and sisters to call it.,Every day, I sneak from home and bring delicious food to share with girls.。 It didn't take long for a few more boys and girls from the neighborhood to join, and he gave himself the name of the "Happy Gang", and less than ten children continued to play a lot of tricks. Jack didn't become the leader, but he was happily involved.
Many people in Port City can be said to belong to the middle class. They generally have decent jobs, buy houses, have higher education, and sound like they are in a good mood and have a carefree life. But in reality, there are not many people in Hong Kong City who can really live the life of the middle class.
Just like Guo Yi's original homeowner, Mr. Ye, an electronic engineer, his wife works in a trading company, and his family has a monthly income of nearly 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is the relatively high income part of a typical middle-class family. His monthly expenses for housing accounted for 40% of his income, and together with his 5-year-old son's tuition, extracurricular activities, insurance and other expenses, 70% of his monthly income "evaporated" rapidly. This is still 95 years, the housing prices in Hong Kong City have not risen, or fallen slightly, and he mustered up the courage to take out a loan to buy this thousand-foot house. He once said that his life since buying a house "does not cost anything that is not necessary, and the principle of 'no consumption' is used for family activities on weekdays."
Mr. Ye also said that Hong Kong's electronics industry has encountered great challenges, and employees are often unemployed, and as most of the factories in Hong Kong City have moved to the opposite country, the job opportunities in Hong Kong City have been greatly reduced, especially the loss of technical jobs, and many enterprises have begun to use and train college students and technicians in the mainland on a large scale. His work is getting worse and worse, and he is often scolded by his boss for no reason. This time he simply left to develop in Australia, at least he could have a new start. Moreover, there are many job opportunities there, there are still fewer skilled people, and the benefits and education are also quite good.
The tree dies, and the man lives!
Guo Yi and Chen Xiaomei began to live opposite each other, Jack became their common child, and Guo's father and Guo's mother became their common parents. Eating the meals made by the parents at home, especially the favorite of the northerners - hand-rolled noodles, with mixed sauces and marinated noodles, that is beautiful! Hometown food plus hometown dialect, even Chen Xiaomei and Guo Yi's hometown are also from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the taste of eating is basically the same. What a beautiful day!
Chen Xiaomei's homesickness has also been alleviated to a certain extent. When I was in a good mood, the studio communication was naturally much smoother, and I had more leisure time, and Jack's request to go out for entertainment activities was naturally satisfied.
The first place to visit is the Harbour City Ocean Park, which is a theme park with land and sea animal exhibitions, rides and large-scale performances, divided into two main areas, Summit Park and Waterfront Park, and further divided into eight different themed areas, including Asian Animal World, Dream Water City, Whiskers World, Rainforest World, Dynamic World, Ocean World, Rapids World and Polar World, providing a variety of attractions and entertainment experiences.
