Chapter 153: Eternal Day
It takes less than an hour to get from Sai Kung to Causeway Bay, Hong Kong's transportation is convenient, extending in all directions, and if you have a car, it is convenient to go anywhere.
At this time, Hong Kong was not as crowded as in later generations, and although there were some traffic jams on the way, there was not much delay.
Nam Tsai told them that there is usually no traffic jam from Sai Kung to Wan Chai, but today's traffic jam may be due to the fact that many people from various countries and regions in the world come to Hong Kong to watch the excitement.
The car stopped in front of the Sogo department store, which is said to be the largest department store in Hong Kong, and it is the most convenient and fast place to sweep goods in Hong Kong.
Nie Xinyuan saw that Nan Tsai was going to follow the two of them, so he stopped him and said: "Nan Tsai, don't go in with us, I see that there are many people around today, you find a garage to park the car, we may not need any cars during the day today."
Now you can walk around the neighborhood and drive around the neighborhood if you have something to do. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, you can come here again to pick us up and take us to eat the nearby food. ”
Nan Tsai nodded when he heard this, and they, the hotel staff, were based on the wishes of the guests, and the guests could do whatever they wanted, and they should not make their own decisions.
Ai Xiaoyu also knew Nie Xinyuan's concerns, the two of them would definitely buy a lot of things for a while, most of them would definitely be put in the ring space, and they couldn't be placed outside, otherwise, when the two of them returned to the mainland, they would definitely have ten boxes and eight boxes, and it would be difficult for the customs.
Without outsiders, the two of them have no worries, they can buy as much as they want, they can buy whatever they want, and they don't have to think about customs at all.
Two people scanning merchandise in a department store, of course. What they bought was generally high-tech products that were not available in the mainland, such as Motorola mobile phones, IBM laptops, Sony digital cameras, Sony walkmans, and all kinds of popular game consoles at the time. Vacheron Constantin's handmade mechanical watches......
And they didn't buy much clothing, jewelry, etc., after all, they had everything at home, so they couldn't arouse interest.
The costumes of the two of them are generally specially made by the family company, and Ai's father takes his baby daughter as his inspiration and often opens her small stove.
When the two of them were hungry, they found that it was already noon, and the time agreed with Nan Tsai had also arrived, and the two hurriedly ran out of it.
Nan Tsai really obediently stood at the gate of the department store and waited for the two of them. "Xiao Nie, Xiao Ai, you guys are really punctual!"
Ai Xiaoyu playfully rubbed her flat stomach and said, "Hehe, Nanzai, it's not that we are on time, but our Five Organs Temple is too punctual, and we are so hungry that we are so hungry that we are screaming when we arrive." ”
"Exactly. There are a lot of Hong Kong snacks near Causeway Bay, you can eat them one by one. Wrap you up and have a good time! ”
Nam Tsai understands these rich people, people eat taste, not quantity, people who come to Hong Kong are eager to taste every snack, so. These snacks come in small portions per serving.
"This Yishun double skin milk, ginger juice milk, you must taste it, many diners eat their double skin milk are all in unison praise, especially the wrinkled milk skin is the essence. It's fragrant, creamy, and delicious! ”
After Nan Tsai's introduction, the two nodded in agreement, one person with two hands, one side of the double skin milk, and the other side of the ginger juice to hit the milk, and continued the following food journey.
"Chi Kee is a time-honored brand in Hong Kong, and their wontons are good, I'll take you to try them. Their wonton is wrapped in whole prawns, which are not too big or too small, and they taste delicious and smooth! ”
Eat, eat, eat a small bowl for one person, and leave unsatisfied.
"The cuttlefish balls here are particularly famous; The fish ball noodles at this house have won food awards; This siu-mei is a must-have in Hong Kong, but there are many chain stores; The brisket in this clear soup tastes very good; The snake king of this house is a great thing, and it is very moisturizing......"
In the next time, Ai Xiaoyu and Nie Xinyuan's ears only heard Nan Tsai keep taking the two of them around, countless delicacies, the good appetite of the two scared Nan Tsai, he really had never seen such a rich man who could eat.
Later, the two of them explained to him that they had grown up practicing martial arts, and their consumption in a day was much more powerful than that of ordinary people, so Nan Tsai closed his mouth wide open in surprise.
In the afternoon, the two continued to get rid of Nam Tsai and walked around the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, but this time the two were much more leisurely, while shopping, while taking pictures of each other, the two are now very keen on taking pictures, and they also went to learn to wash photos, and the photos taken at home were washed out by the two of them, and the effect was very good.
Several adults later handed over the glorious task of washing the photos to the two of them.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Xinyuan received a call from Marshal Nie, and he asked the two of them to hurry to the gate of the convention and exhibition center to meet him and some old leaders of the country, such as Zheng Lao and Xu Lao. They should all be staying in a five-star hotel in the convention center.
Maybe it's also because the two of them have been tossing too much in the stock market these days, and those leaders want to see if the two of them are still intact?
Fortunately, Nie Xinyuan had the foresight to greet the elders in the family first, so that for the sake of the stability of Hong Kong's financial and stock market, although there was no support, it was also a tacit acquiescence to the behavior of the two people.
This time Nan Tsai was lucky, Zheng Lao knew that there was a Hong Kong local next to the two of them, and asked the two to bring Nan Tsai with him, and Nan Tsai only then realized that the two people he drove were actually the descendants of the mainland marshal, and he could also see the leaders of the country with his own eyes, and he was so happy that he was dizzy.
His signature big mouth continued to open again, and the big mouth never closed the relationship that had been smirking. What a shame!
They were very busy, they just gave them the seats to watch the handover ceremony in the evening, and said nothing else, drove the three out of the room, and continued their exchanges with the leaders of various countries.
When the three of them entered the largest conference venue of the convention and exhibition center again, it was almost midnight, and at this time, it was already full of people, densely packed, and it was impossible to see people's faces clearly.
I heard that representatives from dozens of countries and regions, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as many overseas Chinese, attended the ceremony.
In about 20 minutes, the handover ceremony officially began in the early hours of the morning.
The leaders of various countries have come to power one after another, and the leader of the mainland, Ai Xiaoyu, also knows several, Zheng Lao, Marshal Nie, Marshal Xu, oh my God, who did she see?
It was actually Nie Feng, Uncle Nie, he actually came, she hadn't heard Nie Xinyuan mention it before.
Ai Xiaoyu tortured with his divine sense, "Brother Xinyuan, why didn't you tell me that your father would also participate in this handover ceremony?" ”
Nie Xinyuan said slyly and said, "You are not my daughter-in-law now, your Uncle Nie's daughter-in-law, why should I tell you?"
By the way, if you take a closer look at the figure next to my father, does it feel particularly familiar? ”
"Yes, it's uncle, it's uncle, why is he here? How can he stand on it at his level? ”
"Little Peach, you won't forget that your uncle is a colonel now, right? This time he is not just standing on the top, I also just learned that your uncle is going to be selected by the state to be one of the leaders of the garrison army in Hong Kong this time. ”
"What? Do you mean that my uncle will not only attend this handover ceremony, but will also have to stay in Hong Kong in the future? So why didn't he tell me? What about my aunt? And Brother Shijun, Brother Shibing, what should they do? ”
"It's all military secrets this time, how could your uncle reveal it casually? Doesn't that make him make mistakes? As for your questions, I don't know, tomorrow we will find an opportunity, you can ask your uncle in person.
Okay, it's happened, you don't have to think about it, let's continue to watch the ceremony, the flag guards are in......"
As soon as Nie Xinyuan's words were finished, sure enough, the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremonies of the Chinese and British flag guards entered the venue, symbolizing the handover of Hong Kong power between the two governments, and all the Chinese and foreign guests attending the ceremony stood up, and the eyes of the audience were focused on the flagpole of the rostrum.
Ai Xiaoyu found that the uniforms of the army, navy, and air force worn by the Chinese garrison today are particularly good-looking, the army is brown-green, the navy is white, and the air force is blue, and the color is very bright.
Immediately afterwards, the British flag and the Hong Kong flag slowly descended to the music of the British national anthem, and with the "rice flag" slowly lowered, the British colonial rule in Hong Kong for a century came to an end.
At midnight on 1 July 1997, the military band of the Chinese People's Liberation Army played the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese national flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were slowly raised together, and Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland on this day.
First of all, Zheng Lao came to the stage to speak, and as he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears of excitement anymore, and actually flowed down his wrinkled cheeks in front of the cameras and cameras of the whole world.
The picture at this moment contains the history of blood and tears of countless people, and everyone feels the resonance, and the audience is applauding continuously.
And this day has become eternal......
Immediately after that, a number of leaders took the stage one after another to speak, the central meaning of which was to express their joy at Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
Later, regarding the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the swearing-in ceremony of the government, Ai Xiaoyu and Nie Xinyuan did not attend, and the two sent Nam Tsai away, did not return to Saigon, and stayed directly in the living room of Marshal Nie's room in the hotel.
The two of them did not enter the ring space, they were too sensitive at this time, and they did not lie down to sleep, but chose to sit directly on the sofa and meditate and practice Tai Chi internal strength, so that they could quickly recover their energy. (To be continued......)
