Chapter 015: Moving
"Brother Chuan, you and your sister-in-law can enjoy happiness in the future!"
"Yes, Brother Chuan, your two boys are promising!"
Li Haichuan listened to the compliments of the neighbors, his face smiled, and the cigarettes in his hands were handed out to everyone as if they didn't want money. Today is the day when the Li family moves to a new home, Li Xuan rents a large four-bedroom and two-living room apartment in Taikoo Shing, opposite Victoria Harbour, and the family can finally say goodbye to this aggrieved public rental housing.
Early in the morning, Li Ke took a few younger brothers, chartered a truck and began to move things.
Li Xuan's newly found house is actually a simple house with furniture, which can be moved in with his bag. Therefore, under his strong insistence, except for some clothes and a few old objects that his parents were reluctant to throw away, nothing else was taken away. Instead, it was distributed to the neighbors on the left and right, and this was the lively scene of the Li family.
After Li Xuan and his brother Li Ke made up their minds to set up a factory, they gave the whole plan to their parents and plates. After the initial shock, Li Haichuan, the head of the family, quickly calmed down. Although he didn't read much, his life experience over the years also allowed him to make appropriate judgments.
For the second son, Li Haichuan has never been worried. Although Li Xuan's appearance has far exceeded his expectations again and again, the more promising his son is, the more happy he will always be more than surprised by him, a person who is an old bean.
On the contrary, the eldest son Li Ke made him even more worried, he skipped class and fought since he was a child, and he really didn't get better when he grew up, and he became an old boy. Although Li Haichuan was angry, he was helpless, he only hoped that the Bodhisattva would bless his boy to be safe and sound, and that one day he would be cut down on the street and stage the tragedy of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
When the two sons suddenly came to tell him that they were going to open their own factory, he was very surprised. But after listening to Li Xuan's very detailed plan, he felt that there seemed to be a trace of work. The prince and general Xiangning have a kind of Hong Kong, where there are not a few rich people who have created a great foundation from scratch, and many of them did not have a much higher status than his family before they made their careers.
Although Li Haichuan was also worried about what would happen if his son lost money in business, he finally decided to support his two sons to create a career, which is better than being a rotten boy on the street.
Li Xuan stood aside, looking at his father's old face full of proud laughter at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart. Today is undoubtedly a very face-saving day for my father.
Li Haichuan is just a low-level porter in a garment factory, and he has never even been a foreman, and it seems to him that setting up his own factory is a fantasy. But he still resolutely handed over the 30,000 yuan he and his wife had worked hard to save to their two sons.
From the moment he handed over the bank passbook to Li Xuan, he had already handed over the responsibility of taking the helm of the family to Li Xuan, and he believed that his son could make the family's life better and better. Li Xuan didn't move this passbook, because he was confident that with his efforts, the whole family would definitely live a prosperous life.
"Lao Dou, everything is packed, when will you go?" Li Ke walked up from the bottom of the building and began to urge Lao Dou to set off.
Finally, with the blessings of the neighbors, the Li family left the Sau Mau Ping Estate where they had lived for many years.
Taikoo Shing is located on the side of Quarry Bay in the eastern district of Hong Kong Island, across the sea from Kwun Tong in Kowloon. But to actually drive there, you need to make a big detour, and you have to go to the undersea tunnel in Hung Hom before you can cross the sea.
Li Xuan sat in the passenger seat of the taxi, and his parents and little sister sat in the back seat. The taxi followed the moving truck, and the eldest brother and his younger brother escorted the truck to lead the way. Now Hong Kong's subway has just begun to be built, it is said that the first line will be officially opened to traffic on October 1 this year, although the bus line is very dense, but Li Xuan hates crowding the bus the most, and it is really inconvenient to have no car.
He considered whether to get his driver's license out before school started, and then buy a car after the company made a profit. After all, he is about to start school, and CUHK is not as convenient as HKU, which is located on the mountainside of Hong Kong Island, and its campus is far away in Sha Tin, and it takes more than 40 minutes to travel to and from the city by MTR East Line.
Taikoo Shing's predecessor was originally the Taikoo Dockyard, but after the relocation of the dock, Taikoo Co., Ltd. began construction of a large-scale real estate residential project at Taikoo Shing. The Li family's new house is on the twentieth floor of the Dongting Pavilion in Taikoo Shing Phase 1. The building is facing Victoria Harbour, and standing in the window of the room, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour not far away.
From the previous public housing to the current big house, the family seems to have moved into heaven, and the most excited is undoubtedly Li Ying, she finally has her own room and can hide some little secrets that belong to girls.
"Hey, Miss Zhong, didn't you say that you wanted to help me move? Where are the people, it can't be that they are oversleeping, haha!" Li Xuan dialed the phone of Zhong Chuhong's house, and teased when he came up.
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say, I don't know where your home is, people get up early in the morning to wait for your call, and then I can't wait to call you again but can't get through!" Zhong Chuhong said indignantly on the other end of the phone.
"Well, it's my fault, it's all my fault! It turns out that the phone of the old house was picked by my old bean early in the morning! In fact, there is not much of anything, my eldest brother brought a few people to get it done, and I stood aside from beginning to end to watch the show!" Li Xuan explained, "It's good that you have your mind, come over for lunch, my mother will start to cook a big meal!"
"Oh, no, eat yourselves!"
"I've told my mom that I'll bring a big beauty to her later!
Li Xuan didn't give the other party a chance to refuse, and hung up the phone quickly. He could guess that the girl on the other side should be very entangled now, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he thought of this.
Zhong Chuhong had just moved out of her home to live alone, and her family's housing conditions were not much better than before Li Xuan's house, and the three sisters were crammed into a small room. Her newly rented one-bedroom apartment is in North Point, not far west from Fish Bay. Li Xuan called a taxi, and in less than ten minutes, she had already arrived downstairs in her rental room.
"Ah, you're here so soon?" Zhong Chuhong opened the door and saw that it was Li Ke, who showed a slightly twisted expression.
"Isn't it just going to my house for a meal, and it's not a Hongmen banquet!" Li Xuan said with a smile leaning against the door.
Zhong Chuhong glared at him, so anxious that he was about to cry, so he took the liberty of going to the boy's house to eat, no matter how he thought about it, he felt a little awkward.
"Alas, seeing that you are so reluctant, then forget it!" Li Xuan deliberately showed a look of disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, it's just that I didn't prepare when you suddenly called me to your house for dinner, we are developing too fast!" Zhong Chuhong explained in a hurry, a little unscrupulous.
"Lie to you, my mother is busy cleaning up the room, and she won't be free all day today, so how can she have time to prepare a big meal!"
Li Xuan didn't know when he had walked in front of the girl, and when he heard the other party say that they were developing too fast, a hint of surprise flashed on his face. What she meant was that she didn't object, and the offense these days was finally paying off.
