Chapter 43 Going south to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight
A spark erupted from the soybean oil lamp, and the flame flickered.
Xiang Rong thought about it and felt that Brother Yang and his younger sister Xiaofang were not related to each other, but they had met in the same village a few times, but in order to fight for Xiaofang's orphans and widows, they did not hesitate to risk losing their lives and sacrificed their lives to save each other.
With his identity as a knowledgeable youth in the capital, coupled with the indicators of returning to the city in his hand, as well as the repair skills in his hands, he couldn't do this at all, but people were stunned by chivalrous courage, and he did it righteously!
Besides, without his careful planning, the two brothers would not have been able to help Xiaofang's mother and daughter eliminate the temporary threat so smoothly, let alone get so much cash and gold.
Thinking about what Brother Yang just said, all the money on the table was given to them, and he didn't take a penny, Xiang Rong suddenly felt that his old face was hot.
raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Yang on the opposite side, and saw that his face was also red at the moment, and his eyes were full of embarrassed guilt.
They took the money and let the Yang brothers go to the capitalist world alone to venture into danger, which is too unrighteous! If the master was still alive, and the two brothers had such thoughts, they would definitely have to be expelled from the school.
I still listen to Brother Yang, and follow him to make a fool of myself, after all, his ability and knowledge are much stronger than those of the two brothers, and everyone is together, which can be regarded as a more or less good idea.
Thinking of this, a resolute and decisive look appeared in Xiang Rong's eyes.
Xiang Yang also seemed to understand his cousin's mind at this time, and nodded solemnly towards Xiang Rong.
"Brother Yang, if we follow you to that Xiangxiang or Hong Kong, can you take care of your meal? Can you let us marry a daughter-in-law?" Xiang Rong asked with an embarrassed face, touching his bare head.
Hearing Xiang Rong say this, Yang Weiping almost laughed out loud, daring to love these brothers with such "lofty" minds and ambitions!
Yang Weiping held back the smile in his heart and said solemnly: "As long as you obey my arrangement and do what I say, I promise that not only will your meals be full of big fish and meat, but also you can marry a few wives if you want to!
Yang Weiping's promise was heard, Xiang Rong and Xiang Yang's eyes suddenly brightened, my mother!
With a "snap", Xiang Rong slapped the table and said happily: "It's done! Brother Yang, our brothers' lives will be handed over to you!"
"That's right, just listen to Brother Yang!" Xiang Yang also stood up and said excitedly: "We promise to listen to Brother Yang from now on!"
Yang Weiping nodded with satisfaction, turned his face to look at Qiu Fang, and asked gently, "Sister Fang, what do you mean?"
Qiu Fang lowered her head and groaned for a while, and before she could answer, Luo Xiaotong beside her pulled the corner of her clothes, and said with anticipation in her eyes: "Mother, I want to go with Uncle Yang." ”
Qiu Fang lovingly took her daughter into her arms, nodded lightly and said, "Well, my mother promised you to go with your Uncle Yang." After finishing speaking, a hint of determination flashed in Qiu Fang's watery eyes, and she looked at Yang Weiping solemnly and said: "Brother Yang, as long as you can find a way to live in peace and security for our two mothers, you can let me do anything!"
Yang Weiping nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, I promise that in the future, Xiaotong will live the happiest life and receive the best education, so that she will be carefree, safe and happy!"
……
Ten days later, Central, Hong Kong.
As one of the more prosperous and developed business districts in Hong Kong, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, as well as the various vehicles like carp crossing the river, have long made Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang, Qiu Fang, and Luo Xiaotong all become Grandma Liu who walked into the Grand View Garden. …,
Looking at the passers-by who walked around him like a trot and walked in a hurry, Yang Weiping couldn't help but feel like a world away from home.
Perhaps Hong Kong today is not as highly prosperous and developed as it was in later generations, but its prosperity is no less than that of any major city in China in later generations.
After making the decision to come to Hong Kong with Xiang Rong's family in Qinghe Village ten days ago, Yang Weiping quickly sketched out a safe route to the south in his mind.
First, I bought a ticket at Chang'an Fire Station in Longxi Province and went directly to Yangcheng, the provincial capital of Lingnan Province, and then rented a truck to go to Pengcheng, which is only a river away from Hong Kong.
The Luohe Tractor Factory work permit, which Yang Weiping had not paid attention to before, played an unexpectedly important role in this southbound journey.
Whether it is to buy a train ticket or live in a hotel, this work certificate of a deputy section-level technician in a large state-owned factory is much more useful than a letter of introduction.
After several setbacks in Pengcheng, five days later, Yang Weiping and his entourage of five people successfully arrived in Hong Kong's New Territories.
With his fluent English, Yang Weiping converted all the five gold bars weighing a total of 2,500 grams into US dollars at a price of US$850 per ounce at Standard Chartered Bank, opened an account with Standard Chartered Bank for US$70,000, and exchanged the remaining US$6,000 into more than 54,000 Hong Kong dollars.
With the money in hand, the first thing is, of course, to put on the clothes on the five people, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, all of them into new clothes. In addition, I spent 1,000 Hong Kong dollars to find someone to buy a fake passport for temporary use.
Because there was a word in advance, everything was subject to Yang Weiping's arrangement after arriving in Hong Kong, so even Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang and Qiu Fang were heartbroken when they saw Yang Weiping's lavish spending, but none of them dared to speak out against it.
From Longxi to Hong Kong, Yang Weiping has fulfilled his promise to Xiangrong Xiangyang along the way, every meal is either fish or chicken and duck, and they are full of wine and food, so that the two brothers shouted that they have lived a happy communist life.
After arriving in Hong Kong, the prosperity scene in front of them is completely different from that of the mainland of China, which makes Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang, and Qiu Fang's mother and daughter feel like they are in another world.
In fact, their thinking is not wrong, the capitalist world and the socialist world are two different worlds at all.
It's just that what makes Qiufang, Xiang Rong, and Xiang Yang a little incomprehensible is that in the decadent capitalist world, how can there be high-rise buildings everywhere and all kinds of colors? Everyone is dressed beautifully and cleanly, and there are more cars on the road than bicycles.
However, what surprised Qiu Fang, Xiang Rong and others even more was that Yang Weiping seemed to be used to all this, so he didn't see any surprise and surprise on his face and eyes, on the contrary, his eyes occasionally showed a kind of disdain and disappointment.
With the money in hand, Yang Weiping immediately chartered a taxi and came directly to Central to solve the housing problem first.
I walked around Central and bought a lot of daily necessities. Yang Weiping, who is in a suit and leather shoes, is followed by the Xiangrong Xiangyang brothers who are wearing the same style of black suit and sunglasses on their faces, and the beautiful woman Qiu Fang and the little princess Luo Xiaotong, who are holding a famous fashion women's suit, are completely successful people.
As the so-called money is easy to do, Yang Weiping soon rented an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui through a real estate agent, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, with a monthly rent of 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, and needed to pay three months' rent at one time.
This is a high-rise elevator room, Yang Weiping chose to rent the floor on the ninth floor, the first time in his life to take the elevator, naturally Qiu Fang, Xiang Rong Xiangyang was shocked, even Luo Xiaotong is like a curious baby, pulling Yang Weiping to ask east and west.
Agent Ah Dong, whose full name is Kwok Kaidong, is a native of Hong Kong, graduated from the University of Hong Kong, is 30 years old this year, and has been working in Wanfeng Real Estate Company for three years. But he really didn't understand that Mr. Yang was such a successful person, but his family didn't look like overseas Chinese who had lived abroad for a long time, but looked similar to those big circles smuggled from the mainland. …,
This can't be blamed on Ah Dong's poisonous eyes, but Qiu Fang, Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang and Luo Xiaotong have lived in the countryside of Longxi for a long time, although they are now wearing relatively fashionable brand-name clothes, but the peasant atmosphere in their bones is impossible to disappear in a short time. In a word, wearing a dragon robe, he is not a prince.
Ah Dong led Yang Weiping to the door of the apartment with the house number 908, took out the key from his briefcase, sat sideways at the door of the apartment, bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand, and said to Yang Weiping in Hong Kong English that was not very fluent: "Mr. Yang, please, this is the best house near Tsim Sha Tsui, you can also see the sea view, the surrounding business is also very developed, all the daily household items, whether you eat or wear, you can buy them downstairs." ”
"Thank you. Yang Weiping smiled and nodded, went into the room and looked around, and then said, "Mr. Guo, I'm sorry for your trouble, I'm very satisfied with the room here, and I'm tired." ”
With a happy face, Ah Dong took out a rental agreement from his briefcase, put it down at the six-person dining table in the living room, and then took out a Parker fountain pen from the inner pocket of his suit jacket, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Yang Weiping with both hands, "Mr. Yang, if you have no objection, you can sign your name on this contract." After you pay, everything in the apartment will be at your disposal for the next three months. Of course, the premise is that it cannot be damaged. ”
Yang Weiping took the pen, nodded and smiled politely at Adong, sat down at the dining table, picked up the agreement and read it carefully from the beginning, making sure that there were no legal loopholes, and then signed the pseudonym "John Yang" on the signature column at the end of the agreement.
Yang Weiping looked at Qiu Fang and the others who were standing in the living room and couldn't sit and smiled: "Sister Fang, Brother Xiang, don't stand, how tired you are from standing, you can sit! This is our home in Hong Kong for the time being." ”
"Boss, the place where we live is temporarily settled, but what should we do next? Xiang Rong pulled out a chair from under the dining table, sat down opposite Yang Weiping, and asked seriously.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have everything to arrange. Yang Weiping took out a Havana cigar from the inner pocket of his suit, roasted the wrapper with a ZIP lighter, then lit the cigarette, inhaled hard, and said with an indifferent smile while spitting out thick smoke: "Brother Xiang, you just need to understand that here, you will start a new life again, and first adapt to the surrounding environment as soon as possible." ”
