Chapter 408: Survival in Hong Kong (53)
I have to say that Xiao Ju really doesn't have an ordinary understanding of Zhuang Zhuang, after Xiao Ju went home and put her things away, she asked her mother to do hygiene at home and make Chinese food, and she ran straight to the Chinese middle school where Zhuang Zhuang studied. It didn't take much effort for Xiao Ju to find him in the strong classroom. After such a big incident, this guy actually stayed alone in the classroom reading and practicing calligraphy, which was quiet enough.
When Zhuang Zhuang saw Xiao Ju who pushed open the classroom door and came in, his face was full of surprise, and he shouted happily at the same time, "Sister, you are here!" The tone was as if it was normal for Xiao Ju to find him here.
"Hmmm! No more trouble! Let's go back! Mother is worried about you! Xiao Ju found out that Zhuang Zhuang hadn't seen him for a few days, so she lost a lot of weight, and it didn't seem that she was as determined as she thought, and she was still worried about the people at home after all.
"How do you solve the problem of food and shelter?" When Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang left the classroom side by side, they asked with some curiosity.
"I found the teacher on duty in the life department and borrowed some money! Meals are also served daily in the school's cafeteria. I asked for a temporary dormitory and quilts! Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiao Ju with some pride, Xiao Ju couldn't help but reach out and touch Zhuang Zhuang's head as before, and when he raised his hand, he found that Zhuang Zhuang had unconsciously grown more than half a head taller than her.
Xiao Ju followed Zhuang Zhuang to the school's life department to find the teacher on duty, and returned the money and bedding borrowed by Zhuang Zhuang first, and the two sisters and brothers went home with a smile. And in the house, Xiao Ju Niang has prepared a large table of delicious things waiting for them, Xiao Ju Niang looked at the strong man who had lost a lot of weight but was still in good spirits, and said in a loud voice. "It's good that there's nothing wrong with it! It's good that there's nothing wrong with it! ”
Because of the kidnapping, the family saw the importance of each other more clearly, and when they met, the relationship was even more intimate. And after Xiao Juniang learned that Xiao Ju didn't have to go to work during the Spring Festival, and the tragedy of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that caused her and Zhuang Zhuang to be tied up was no longer under Xiao Ju's control, she was even more happy, and she talked to Xiao Ju about her plans during the Spring Festival at the dinner table.
"Mother, our family doesn't need to buy anything other than meat. Some time ago, I thought I was going to Shanghai, so I got so many things to keep at home. That's enough for us to eat for months! Xiao Ju looked at the mother who was a little funny and a little helpless, and turned into a nagging aunt.
"You don't have to buy food. You have to wear it, right? Look at you, how can you look a little girly in this dress? Xiao Ju Niang stared at Xiao Ju in a police uniform with some anger. In fact, Xiao Ju still looks good in a police uniform, handsome and feminine, but unfortunately it does not meet Xiao Ju Niang's aesthetics. What's more, Xiao Ju Niang thinks that Xiao Ju is a year older after the New Year. So far, the subject has not been found. If in Hujia Village. A girl as big as Xiaoju has already decided that she is ready to get married. And she was originally optimistic about that Zhou Wu, but looked at Xiaoju's attitude. Zhou Wu is out of play. As for the kid in the Chang family, Xiao Ju Niang thinks that the other party is a child who has not grown up, how can he be worthy of his own Xiao Ju? Until now, there has not been a suitable object for Xiao Ju, do you say that you can not make Xiao Ju Niang anxious?
"Good! Good! Good! Mother, you can dress up whatever you want me to be! It's all up to you! Xiao Ju saw that her mother was like a cat with her tail stepped on, and she was very likely to jump up, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.
Not to mention that Xiaoju's family has regained a peaceful life because of the behind-the-scenes transactions reached between the police station and the 14K gang, but the brothels, smoke houses, and gambling halls .......in Hong Kong have also returned to the lively scene of people coming and going, and the gangs have slowly begun to fight openly and secretly for turf as usual.
Xiao Ju Niang, who has always been simple a few years ago, actually wasted a lot, she dragged Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang to the most prosperous shopping mall in Hong Kong for two consecutive days, and helped Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang buy a lot of clothes. Especially Xiaoju, as long as Xiaoju wears good-looking clothes, no matter how expensive the price is, Xiaoju Niang pays without any heartache, so that Xiaoju almost doesn't know her mother.
It's just that Xiao Ju Niang, who seems to be generous, still has to buy two sets of very cheap clothes for herself under the persuasion of Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang. Xiaoju was both moved and sad, she wanted to tell her mother that there was so much money in the family that she could spend it hard, and she couldn't spend it in a few lifetimes. But Xiao Ju looked at the still childish strength on her face, and didn't say anything after all.
Soon, the first Spring Festival of Xiaoju's family in Hong Kong passed very plainly, although it was very dull, but it was the most comfortable Spring Festival for Xiaoju's family of three. The family stayed at home happily and lazily every day, except for the four mothers and sons of the Chang family, who did not come to the door, there was no unpopular person to disturb their family until the night of the Lantern Festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, I often ran to Xiaoju's house early, saying that his mother asked him to invite Xiaoju's family to his house to celebrate the Lantern Festival on behalf of the Chang family, and then go out to the street to see the lights and put the lights together in the evening. Xiao Juniang is a little embarrassed, the straight Chang family is too polite, the Chinese New Year's Eve is also spent in the Chang family, originally the Lantern Festival should be invited by her own family, and now it is the Chang family who invited.
Although people are small and big, they don't have much social experience after all, and they don't understand the politeness between adults! At this time, when I heard Xiao Ju Niang's tone, I thought that Xiao Ju Niang did not agree to go to his house to celebrate the Lantern Festival, so she was so anxious that her eyes were red, and her eyes looked pitifully at Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang who were eating fruit with a fruit bowl on the side.
"Mother, don't tease Ah! If you don't see him, he's going to cry! The year is not over yet, don't hurt Shi Ah You is red all year round this year! Xiao Ju looked at Ah You's pitiful appearance, and her thoughts about seeing the excitement were scattered, so she opened her mouth kindly.
Ah Youyi saw that Xiaoju opened his mouth, and knew that his task was complete. didn't wait for Xiao Ju Niang to reply, she immediately rubbed Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang to grab the fruit, making Xiao Ju Niang laugh and sigh, "It's really a child's heart!" I cried and laughed! ”
Xiaoju's family was invited to Chang's house, in addition to Yang Liuzheng and the Filipino maid preparing a day's food in the kitchen, Chang Qian, Chang Gongzheng and He Dazhuang were cleaning up the living room. After He Dazhuang took refuge in Chang's house, he felt a completely different life from the past! He secretly vowed in his heart that he and his descendants would live this life. So when the former dock workers sent a message that the Qingzhu Gang would no longer pursue the incident, he did not return to the squatter area of Victoria Harbour.
He Dazhuang plans to follow Chang Qian to work in Willy's foreign bank after the New Year. Because he has not studied, he cannot be a comprador of a foreign bank like Chang Qian. But he is smart and has a lot of strength, and it is still possible to follow Chang Qian as a follower to supervise the flow of goods. Chang Qian listened to He Dazhuang's idea, but he was very happy to see it come to fruition. After all, it's not the same to have someone around him who can be trusted, and he doesn't have to check everything in person when he starts doing things in a foreign bank. Some things can be left to He Dazhuang to run!
Ah Youyou rushed into the house and immediately shouted at Chang Qian as if he had made a gesture of merit, "Big brother! I invited Sister Xiaoju here! Chang Qian heard Chang You's shout, and glanced at Xiao Ju with a little weakness, and found that Xiao Ju was following Xiao Ju Niang towards the kitchen at home, and didn't notice him. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time.
The two families stayed together to make Lantern Festival and eat Lantern Festival. The day passed in a flash. After dinner, the two families went out to the street again.
Although Hong Kong is a British colony, more than 90 percent of its population are Chinese, not to mention the fact that in recent years, a large number of large landlords with relatively strong economic strength have poured in from the mainland. Capitalists and talents from all walks of life. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Hong Kong Year is very strong.
The most popular places are Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, and the area from Causeway Bay to Wan Chai. Chinese living in Hong Kong. It has always been at the lowest level of society, and these places represent the lowest level of Chinese workers.
No matter what era it is, the rich or the petty bourgeoisie will go to restaurants and restaurants to eat in elegant or luxurious places. The poor or the unsophisticated go to the food stalls and itinerant vendors who hide in the streets or slums. Although the environmental and sanitary conditions are poor. But the food sold in these places is very cheap, which is in line with the consumption level of the poor. Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, and the area from Causeway Bay to Wan Chai are the areas where food stalls and mobile stalls are concentrated.
Originally, Yang Liu suggested that everyone go to the Tsim Sha Tsui area in Kowloon to play. Tsim Sha Tsui (also known as Tsim Sha Tsui, known as Tsim Sha Tau in ancient times, formerly known as Xiangpo Tau; English: TsimShaTsui) is a major expatriate area in Hong Kong, which is not only home to several museums and civic centers, but also has a thriving restaurant scene and bars.
At this time, Tsim Sha Tsui was full of foreign cultures, especially the Chungking Mansion, which is home to South Asians and Africans. There is also a Muslim mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui, the largest mosque in Hong Kong, located next to Kowloon Park. The luxuriously appointed five-star The Peninsula Hotel is full of British flair, facing Victoria Harbour, with rooms overlooking Victoria Harbour, famous for its English afternoon tea, and the ground floor shops are dominated by high-end women's brands.
In Knutsford Terrace and Ashley Road, you can find Turkish, Russian, Italian, Japanese and other delicacies; Tsim Sha Tsui is a residential area for foreigners, so you can see adults and children of different colors holding hands and shopping on the streets, which makes people feel like they are in a foreign country. And the most famous attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui include the Avenue of Stars and the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront. Enjoying the night view of Victoria Harbour at the waterfront around the Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural Centre is also a wonderful feeling.
For Tsim Sha Tsui, Xiaoju's family is no stranger, you must know that Xiao Ju Niang asked Xiao Ju to take her to this area for two days a few days ago, and bought a lot of high-end clothes for Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang. At this time, the blue flower lady dress and black tweed jacket worn by Xiao Ju were bought from the ground shop of the Peninsula Hotel. The price made Xiao Ju, who has always been calm, startled. But she is indeed very beautiful on her body! I didn't see that as soon as Chang Qian saw Xiao Ju today, his eyes never moved away from Xiao Ju's body. What's more, at that time, Xiao Ju Niang's eagerness to dress up her daughter as the most beautiful princess in the world, Xiao Ju thought that her family was not short of this money, so she paid the bill.
Although they had been to Tsim Sha Tsui a year ago, Xiaoju's family did not object to Yang Liu's proposal, mainly thinking that today was the Lantern Festival, and Tsim Sha Tsui might be a different scene. Unexpectedly, the three brothers of the Chang family objected in unison, asking to play in Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, and the area from Causeway Bay to Wan Chai. The reason is that everyone has been to Tsim Sha Tsui, but Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, and the area from Causeway Bay to Wan Chai have never been there. I heard He Dazhuang say that these places are all Chinese, and there is also the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Festival.
Xiao Ju works in the police station, and naturally knows the situation in these places mentioned by the three brothers of the Chang family, because it is the poorest Chinese settlement in Hong Kong, and social security is not very good in ordinary times, and this New Year and festival is the most active day for those unstable elements. So when she listened to the proposal of the three brothers of the Chang family, she was a little hesitant. Because today's clothes of their family look like the clothes of rich people at a glance, if they are targeted by some gangsters who are not long-sighted, it will ruin the good mood of the day.
