Chapter 10: The Floating Life in Hong Kong (1)
Just in time for the time when there were many cars on the road, the convoy was not moving fast, and it drove for more than half an hour and finally came to a villa located in the middle of the mountain. The driver honked his horn, the small window on the door opened and closed, and soon the door began to open slowly.
The car continued along the road in the villa, and Zhang Lexing looked out curiously through the car window. The road is lined with carefully manicured bushes, and through the gaps in the bushes you can see the well-manicured lawn behind it, with a few tall trees in between. At the end of the road were several garages, where several men in the appearance of servants were waiting. The convoy slowly stopped in front of the garage, and Zhang Lexing followed Yang Xinxin out of the car and walked along the path next to the garage, while the male maids who had been waiting for a long time began to work hard to carry the numerous shopping bags on the car.
On the left hand side of the trail is a tall bush, on the right hand side there is a large meadow with a few tall trees in the middle of the grass, and further away is a tennis court, through which two men can be seen waving their rackets.
Walking up the stairs for five or six minutes, and then turning to the left, a huge three-story building appeared in front of Zhang Lexing's eyes, with white stucco walls and light red roof tiles, continuous arches and cloisters, and a foyer with high windows and high windows, which made him feel like his heart was rippling. The housekeeper gently opened the door, raised his hand and respectfully motioned to Zhang Lexing for them to go first, following behind Yang Xinxin, Zhang Lexing stepped into this huge mansion.
Walking through the corridor in the house, Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin came to the hall, an old man sat on the sofa and was listening to what the middle-aged man next to him said, the old man's expression was a little serious, but the middle-aged man looked very excited, and gestured with his hand from time to time while talking.
Seeing the excited middle-aged man, Yang Xinxin's face changed, and soon returned to normal, and then threw herself into the old man's arms like a little girl: "Grandpa, I miss you these days." ”
The old man patted Yang Xinxin kindly: "Xin'er is back, let grandpa see if she has lost weight." ”
Yang Xinxin finished her coquettishness, got up from the old man's arms, as if she had just discovered the person next to her, and said coldly: "Second uncle, you are here to report again." ”
The middle-aged man next to him smiled wryly: "Xin'er, I'm not doing this for the good of the company." ”
At this time, the old man noticed Zhang Lexing who came in, stood up with his cane, and asked Yang Xinxin, "Xin'er, this little friend, but the one from the mainland?"
Yang Xinxin nodded: "Well, yes, Uncle Yu specifically mentioned it, saying that he is a software wizard in the mainland, but I look at people very often." ”
The old man beckoned and motioned for Zhang Lexing to come over and speak.
Zhang Le walked to the old man and saluted, and asked respectfully: "Old man, junior Zhang Lexing, didn't you ask the surname Gao?"
"It's not so much trouble, just call me Old Man Yang. The old man looked very happy, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat." ”
"Old man Yang, just call me Lexing. Zhang Lexing sat down along the position pointed by the old man.
"I heard Youcheng say, Le Xing, you have a deep knowledge of computers at a young age, it's really terrifying, hehe. Old man Yang greeted Zhang Lexing with a smile, and his words had the taste of the north, which made Zhang Lexing feel very cordial.
"Wherever and wherever you are, you are the model for our younger generations to learn, and there are many things that need to be asked of you in the future. Zhang Lexing said modestly.
The middle-aged man next to him got up and walked over to Old Man Yang and said, "Dad, there will be a meeting later, I'll go back to the company first." If you think about the things you just mentioned, it's not a way to go on like this. ”
Old Man Yang nodded in agreement, but a dark cloud quietly appeared on his face.
After speaking, the middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Lexing, turned around and walked out, with disdain on his face, and muttered in his mouth: "This house is really getting more and more unpresentable, even mainland boys can come in......." Although the voice was not loud, it still floated to Zhang Lexing's ears.
Old Man Yang's face darkened, he slammed his crutches, and roared angrily: "Yu'an, you are too disrespectful, how can you say such things in front of guests." ”
Yang Yu'an snorted, didn't look back, and walked out of the hall.
"Lexing, I'm sorry, this kid is so rude. Old Man Yang sighed, it seems that this house is not usually so peaceful.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately, a voice came from the side at this time, breaking this somewhat solemn atmosphere.
"Master, the food is ready, is it time to eat?"
Old Man Yang took out a pocket watch and looked at it, nodded and said, "It's okay, you go and inform the others." ”
Putting away the pocket watch, Old Man Yang sent another invitation to Zhang Lexing: "Lexing, let's go have a meal together, Mama Feng used to be a northerner, and her skills are quite good." ”
……
At the dinner table, there were four people, Zhang Lexing, Yang Xinxin, Old Man Yang and Old Mrs. Yang, and the others didn't know if they were going out or unwilling to come, but none of them were there anyway. The old man was very excited when he met someone from the north, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot all about the unpleasantness that had just happened, and began to talk about his entrepreneurial history, which made Mrs. Yang very embarrassed, and frequently showed an apologetic expression to Zhang Lexing.
Zhang Lexing doesn't mind, it's also interesting to listen to these entrepreneurial stories, and the audience is very good, you don't need to do anything specifically, you just need to make a look of admiration.
The old man may not have met such a dedicated audience as Zhang Lexing for a long time, and the words in his mouth kept coming, and he seemed very interested, "You kid has a very good appetite for me, and you have a good eye." Lexing, if you have any difficulties in Hong Kong, just ask Xin'er to help you, she listens to me the most. ”
"Grandpa......" Yang Xinxin began to be coquettish to Old Man Yang again.
……
I don't know if it was Old Man Yang's words that played a role or something else, after eating, Yang Xinxin was much more enthusiastic about Zhang Lexing, and led him upstairs to see the studio and bedroom. Zhang Lexing followed Yang Xinxin up the stairs, and there were many patterns carved on the handrails of the stairs, but there was a smooth feeling to the touch.
Going up to the second floor, Yang Xinxin pointed to the second room in the east and said, "That's your workshop, and next door is your bedroom." If you have anything to do, you can come upstairs to me, and I'll stay in the last room upstairs to the west. By the way, I'm older than you, so it's better to call me Sister Xin in the future. After speaking, he left Zhang Lexing and went upstairs by himself.
Zhang Lexing came to the door of the workshop, pushed open the door and walked in. The room looks like about 50 square meters, and there are two desks by the window, one of which has an Apple IIplus on it, and the other is empty, presumably for other development machines in the future. There is a small bookshelf next to the computer desk, Zhang Le walked over and opened the curtain of the bookshelf to take a look, there are a lot of books on the shelf, most of them are computer-related books, and there are many plastic boxes on the top layer of the bookshelf, and the boxes are full of floppy disks. On one side of the door is a cloth sofa, Zhang Lexing went to try it, it felt very comfortable, and it seemed that he could take a break on it when he was tired of writing programs. There is also a pot of greenery in the corner of the room, which should be cleaned up by someone often, and it looks like it is full of life.
Leaving the studio, Zhang Lexing came to the bedroom next door. The furnishings in the room are very simple, on the right hand side of the door is a wooden desk against the wall, and there is a yellow wood chair with soft cushions in front of the desk. A little further inside is a relatively wide single bed, covered with a blue floral bedspread, Zhang Lexing tried it with his hands, the elasticity is good, there should be Simmons underneath. There is a bedside table on one side of the bed with a small lamp and alarm clock. On the other side of the bed is a three-door wood-grain sliding door wardrobe, and next to it is Zhang Lexing's suitcase. Zhang Lexing didn't know how long he would live here, so he just took the notepad out of the suitcase, and then opened the wardrobe door and stuffed the suitcase into the closet. After putting away his luggage, Zhang Lexing sat down at the desk, and wanted to write down the things he thought of these days on the notepad, but before he could write a few strokes, the feeling of exhaustion came to him, and the feeling in his mind began to be a little confused. There was no way, Zhang Lexing had to get up and go to the bathroom next door, take a simple shower, change into a nightgown in the wardrobe, and then go to sleep in Chuang.
……
This sleep lasted until the next morning, when Zhang Lexing woke up in a daze, he thought he was in his own home, and he didn't wake up until he opened his eyes to see the furnishings in the room. Look at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, it was just six o'clock, Zhang Lexing got up and got out of bed, yawned while coming to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, took some water and washed his face, and felt that his spirit was finally better. Back in the bedroom, Zhang Lexing came to the window, opened the curtains and looked out, the sky was already a little cloudy, and there were bursts of birdsong in the early morning mist, and through the thin fog, it could be seen that there seemed to be people busy on the lawn.
Zhang Lexing habitually wanted to go downstairs for a run, but after checking his equipment, he was a little hesitant, and the only thing in the suitcase that could be regarded as sports equipment was a pair of liberation shoes. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Lexing could only reluctantly give up the idea of running, and instead went downstairs for a walk, it seems that he has to take some time to buy some suitable clothes, shoes and hats for himself in the past two days.
Leaving the bedroom, Zhang Lexing walked down the stairs to the hall, it was still early, and there was no one in the hall, but there was a gurgling sound from the kitchen, and there was a faint fragrance wafting in, it was estimated that Feng's mother was preparing breakfast. Walking through the corridor in the house, Zhang Lexing came to the outside of the house, the fog seemed to be lighter, and the scenery in the yard was clearer. Along the path between the lawn and the bushes, Zhang Lexing walked slowly while admiring the surrounding scenery. The area of the yard is very large, and the road is also a little intricate, Zhang Lexing didn't feel it when he took the car yesterday, but when Zhang Lexing returned to the hall after turning around in the yard, the time was already seven o'clock in the morning, and it was breakfast time.
