Chapter 14 Hong Kong
Hong Kong in early June
Su Guo and his family accompanied Su Jingzhen to take the SAT, and Jiang Xiuxia's cousin Yuan Guanghua was waiting on Zhongying Street in Shatoujiao early.
"Hey, cousin, have you changed cars?" before walking out of Zhongying Street, Yuan Guanghua took Jiang Xiuxia's family to his car, Su Jingzhen saw his cousin press the anti-theft remote control, only to find that the Mercedes-Benz 300 in front of him was Yuan Guanghua's car.
"No, my old rack is relatively narrow, I'm afraid that you will sit uncomfortable, I borrowed a friend's Mercedes-Benz, as the saying goes, take a Mercedes-Benz to drive a BMW, you rarely come to Hong Kong once, you must make your life comfortable, otherwise my cousin will have to beat me to death." Yuan Guanghua smiled, opened the trunk, and explained that the car was not his.
"Cousin, you're too polite, in fact, it's not the first time we've come, it's okay to take a taxi into the city by ourselves, and now I'm going to trouble you to pick it up." Although Jiang Xiuxia and Yuan Guanghua are also childhood sweethearts, the two are the same age, they have been in a good relationship since childhood, and they are like brothers and sisters, but they still have to be polite.
"Ha, I'm not here to pick up the two of you, I'm going to pick up my nephew, the world is big, and now he's the biggest. Yuan Guanghua laughed and joked.
Su Guo glanced at his son and reminded him, "Thank you cousin yet." Then he said to Yuan Guanghua: "Cousin, don't spoil him, if you pet him, you will your tail." ”
"It's okay, I don't know what character Jing Zhen has, like a little adult, he can tell the difference between good and bad. Yuan Guanghua waved his hand, he was quite familiar with his cousin, because he had a good relationship with his cousin Jiang Xiuxia, so he didn't treat Su Jingzhen as an outsider.
Su Jingzhen put the luggage away, closed the lid of the back box and said to Yuan Guanghua: "Cousin, hurry up and get in the car and leave, this ghost weather is too hot, there were still a lot of people in Zhongying Street just now, it was crowded, I was sweating all over, I got in the car and sighed for the air conditioner." He was honestly polite and went straight to the passenger seat.
Su Jingzhen was lucky to take the SAT this time, the assigned test room was at the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Bureau Lijing Assessment Center in Kwai Tsing District, far away from Hong Kong and Kowloon, and the hotel where they stayed was relatively cheap, Su Jingzhen They are not like mainland tourists in later generations, they go to Hong Kong to buy everything, Hong Kong hotel rooms are not cheap, three-star hotels will cost more than 200, four-star more than 500, five-star more than 1,000, for mainland tourists at this time, this is a big expense.
came to the hotel, and before Su Guo went to book a room, Yuan Guanghua took out two door keys, he had already booked a room for Su Kuang's family early in the morning, and they didn't have to pay for it themselves.
"You're welcome, as long as Jingzhen does well in the exam this time, he is better than anything else, and besides, your orders from the garment factory in the past few years have helped me make a lot of money, and I, as a cousin, can't I invite a guest?" Yuan Guanghua waved his hand and stopped the kind words that Jiang Xiuxia wanted to say.
Su Guan spoke at this time: "Xiuxia, then let's not be polite anymore, let's just invite my cousin to dinner at noon." ”
Who knew that Yuan Guanghua smiled and said: "I guess it won't work today, because I have booked your lunch and evening dining places, go to Daoxiang Restaurant for tea at noon, and go to Maxim's Palace Restaurant for dinner to eat seafood." ”
It's okay now, the family of three has nothing to say, and finally Jiang Xiuxia shook her head and said: "Cousin, you are so polite, I don't dare to tell you in advance next time I come to Hong Kong." ”
"What's this, I'll go back to the mainland, won't it be over if you invite me? Yuan Guanghua said so, but in the 90s, whether it was a hotel in the mainland, or a hotel, how could the grade of the hotel be compared to Hong Kong, Yuan Guanghua said this to make Jiang Xiuxia's family feel more comfortable.
After dinner, Su Kuang's family decided not to go shopping at night, and Yuan Guanghua didn't invite their family to sit in their own home, so everyone decided to go back to the hotel and let Su Jingzhen rest well and prepare for tomorrow's exam.
Why Yuan Guanghua did not ask the guests to go to their own homes, it is also a matter of embarrassment for the ordinary people in Hong Kong, if it is said that Hong Kong people can comprehensively crush the mainland masses in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation in the 90s, there is no dispute about the three aspects of clothing, food and transportation, but the only aspect of living is not so confident.
It is not that it is not as good as the mainland, in the 90s, the vast majority of the masses were still relatively backward in terms of housing, and many families were also three generations living together in small houses of 20 or 30 square meters, but the common people in Hong Kong were not much better.
The land is narrow and there are many people, and the British government in Hong Kong only has a small amount of land to sell every year, so that Hong Kong's property prices have repeatedly hit new highs, basically every year in the top ten in the world, land prices are high, and the people have suffered, although the per capita income is much higher than that of the people in the mainland, but in this aspect, there are not too many advantages, and there are also many generations of the same house crowded in dozens of square meters.
A 100-square-foot house in Hong Kong is a mansion, and a 1,000-square-foot house is a luxury house in Hong Kong, and if it can face the sea, it will be a fighter jet in a mansion.
Yuan Guanghua's parents are in Tongguan Town, he was smuggled to Hong Kong in the late seventies to join his relatives in Hong Kong, although he has made some money in recent years, but the house has not changed, it is still a small unit of only a dozen square meters, so he is embarrassed to invite Su Kuang's family to come to sit, and besides, Su Kuang's family has also been to his house before, just recognize the door, there is no need to go again.
"Cousin, you haven't cleaned up the house, are you?Are you embarrassed to take us up?" Su Jingzhen's joking sentence may have hit the reason why Yuan Guanghua didn't bring them to the door, which may be guessed from Yuan Guanghua's smiling expression.
What Su Jingzhen didn't know was that after Su Jing and the two returned to the room, Jiang Xiuxia pulled her husband and muttered: "Ah Guan, you said that Cousin Guanghua is almost forty years old, and he is not married, and his girlfriend is often changed, and there is no woman in the family who runs the house, so this is not good." ”
Su Kuang glanced at his wife: "Don't mess around, Guanghua just wants to find a local girl in Hong Kong, don't introduce people from Tongguan Town to him, lest he complain about you." ”
"Alas, what do you say he is thinking in his heart, speaking of which his conditions are also very good, if he is willing to find a girl from Tongguan Town, it is that there are many people rushing to marry him. ”
"Don't you look at it, who is going back to the mainland to find his wife now, Guanghua is doing a good job in foreign trade now, can he throw down this face and go back to the mainland to find it?"
"Alas, don't talk about this, you said that tomorrow's exam, can your son do it?" Jiang Xiuxia asked curiously about her cousin's personal life, and her son's future was what she really wanted to care about.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, didn't Guanghua try it in English during dinner at night, Jing Zhen is very fluent in answers, even people like Guanghua who deal with foreigners all year round say that Jing Zhen speaks English well, and he also has a London accent. ”
And the object of the couple's concern, their son Su Jingzhen, was secretly opening the red envelope given by his cousin Yuan Guanghua in the room at this time, and snickered while counting, it seems that there is a lot of money, and it will definitely increase the inventory of Su Jingzhen's small vault.
There are some customs in the South Vietnamese region, such as relatives who have not seen each other for a long time, and when they meet again, they usually give red envelopes, or they come to visit with fruit gifts, and they usually return the gift.
"It's sent, ten golden bulls, my cousin is so generous!" Su Jingzhen, who was already lying on the bed, was thinking about the big red envelope just now, and he couldn't sleep with excitement.
