Chapter 426: Survival in Hong Kong (71)
Before Li's father and mother went to find someone to propose, they would naturally have an understanding of Xiaoju's family, and in their cognition, in Hong Kong, people who can afford elite education will definitely have a family environment that is no worse than their own. As for the family background, it should be either a comprador like their family, or a factory, or a famous family, big capitalists, big landlords, and celebrities who migrated from the interior.
But after understanding, I learned that Xiaoju's family turned out to be an ordinary family who came to Hong Kong for refuge, and as for the family background, Li's father and Li's mother did not have the ability to reach out to the mainland, and only learned about the situation of Xiaoju's family after they arrived in Hong Kong. knows that the entire source of life of Xiao Ju's family is Xiao Ju's income as a police officer in the police station. Of course, there is also a snack shop opened by a little chrysanthemum Niang.
"Master, the conditions of this Hu Ju's family are too poor! Her mother is disabled, her younger brother is still very early to become an adult, and she still has to study at HKU, so the burden is not ordinarily heavy! After Mother Li listened to what Father Li told her, her brows did not stretch, and she began to have an unhappy look on her face.
"This Hu Ju is really not an ordinary person! At a young age, not only can I get a position in the police station, but I heard that the chief of the police station personally recruited him! In order for Hu Ju to agree to join the police station, the other party who also agreed not to go to work according to the working hours stipulated by the Hong Kong government like other police officers! Forget it, it is unbelievable that Hu Ju was still allowed to go to school at the University of Hong Kong.
You must know that those British people are not only notoriously rigid, but they always look superior in front of the Chinese, but this Hu Ju makes these British people look at them differently. I think this alone is more than enough to be my daughter-in-law! In his opinion, Hu Ju, who can make the chief look at him differently in the police station and the tutor in the school, will be a big help to the Li family if he really marries into the Li family.
"When a woman gets married, isn't she going to be at home with her husband and children, and she has to show her head outside like you men. What's the difference between that and those courtesans? I don't want my daughter-in-law to be a courtesan! Mother Li looked at Father Li with a disapproving face.
"What age is it now? A smart and capable woman. Not only can she stand side by side with her husband, but she can also fight side by side, and the thoughts and lives between the two will only become more and more compatible! Not to mention that this is Hong Kong, the Hong Kong ruled by the British. There is simply no woman who doesn't go out to do things. Only stay at home with children! Don't you see that those British women have a higher status than those British men? And the emperor of England is still a woman! Father Li said quietly.
At the same time, Li's father secretly complained in his heart. It's really long hair and short knowledge.,Every day I only know how to play cards with those idle and bored wives.,Listen to those women who only know how to enjoy and have little knowledge.。 Fortunately, the daughters-in-law of the eldest son and the third son are all checked by themselves. If you really give it to your wife, maybe your ears will be soft, and it may not be necessary to marry a woman with her little feet for her son.
"Oh, you're disgusted that I can't help you now? When you were poor, who accompanied you to survive? If I don't have a husband and children at home, can you fight outside without worries? It's good now, if you have money, you don't think I'm ignorant? Do you want to marry a few schoolgirls like other men? ......" Mother Li immediately deceived Mao as soon as she heard Father Li's words.
"I didn't mean that!" As soon as Father Li saw that his wife was suspicious again, he began to mess around, and his head immediately became bigger.
In the past, Father Li had never felt that his wife was so difficult, but since a few years ago, he and some wives and ladies from the inland often got together to play horse hanging, and began to become a little nervous, mainly because there were few wives of those wives who did not have aunts and wives, and there were even more than a dozen. I am a lot older, my children are so old, and I even have grandchildren in the past two years, how can I have any heart to please my aunt's wife. What's more, even if you have the heart and are powerless? Didn't you almost report to Lord Yama the month before?
Not to mention that Father Li was secretly complaining in his heart, Mrs. Li began to nag about the past again, but in the end, after hearing that Father Li promised again that he would not marry his aunt and wife, Mrs. Li also cleverly stopped her tears and ended this inexplicable quarrel. And Mrs. Li finally listened to Li's father's opinion, and the two talked about the things to be prepared for going to Xiaoju's house to propose marriage.
Li's father and mother were in high spirits to help Li Guoqiang prepare to go to Xiao Ju's house to propose the goods, Xiao Ju Niang even began to help Ge Zhixiong to create an opportunity to get close to Xiao Ju, as for Li Guoqiang and Xiao Ju, the two parties did not know anything about it, one was seriously treating the patient in the hospital, and the other was seriously staying in the real yàn room of the University of Hong Kong for the real yàn number jù that was getting closer to the goal. didn't know that the other half of his life had been secretly planned by his parents.
In the evening of that day, Xiao Ju Niang closed the shop as usual and prepared to go home, and Ge Zhixiong had already taken the dinner box prepared by Xiao Ju Niang, plus the snacks and fruits he usually observed Xiao Ju's preferences, and went to HKU with some anticipation. You must know that when he went to look for someone at noon, although Xiao Ju was a little surprised to see him, she did not refuse the food he mentioned. Of course, this is also inseparable from his cleverness, when Xiao Ju looked at him with questioning eyes, he immediately said, "This is what your mother asked me to help send here!" She said you're too busy to eat, and he doesn't have time to bring you food, so she asked me to do it! ”
Although Xiao Ju was a little puzzled, she saw that eating food in the food box was indeed her mother's craft, and then thought that her mother and Zhuang Zhuang would often talk about Ge Zhixiong's help in the store while calculating the daily turnover of the snack shop at home during this time, so she didn't doubt it anymore! After taking the food box, he saw that Ge Zhixiong was still standing aside and did not leave, and it was difficult to open his mouth to let the other party go, and at the same time, he had to pour a glass of water and ask the other party to sit and rest.
Ge Zhixiong took the water poured by Xiao Ju, thought of Chang Qian, who was avoided by Xiao Ju, and then looked at Xiao Ju who was sitting on the side with his head down and eating, and felt a little satisfied. It is more than the people in the gang who have reported that they have occupied a piece of land, or how many big cigarettes they have sold, and how many people they have joined the gang to make him happy.
Ge Zhixiong was relaxed because he was beside Xiao Ju, and he naturally paid attention to Xiao Ju with a peaceful tenderness in his eyes, but Xiao Ju didn't think much about other places, plus Ge Zhixiong gave her a gentle and harmless feeling at this time, and even made her feel that Ge Zhixiong was sitting there, there was a kind of peace, unlike Chang Qian, which made her feel irritable and repulsed! Although I was a little puzzled, I didn't delve into it.
Xiao Ju Niang came to the staircase of her house on the fifth floor of the Hong Kong Building as usual, but found that the staircase on the fifth floor was crowded with people today, and they were carrying large bags of things in their hands. And the super nosy aunt who lives next door to her house has already opened the door a crack, and her two eyes are sticking to the crack of the door, revealing the excitement of gossip.
And Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuangyi appeared at the staircase on the fifth floor, and the group of people carrying various things immediately stared at them with glowing eyes. Xiao Ju Niang, who has rich life experience, is also a little stunned, I don't know if Xiao Ju offended people because of the work of the police station, and caused people to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt? But look at the faces of this group of people? Xiao Ju stopped at the staircase on the fifth floor with some uncertainty for a while, and Zhuang Zhuang naturally blocked in front of Xiao Ju Niang.
"May I ask you are Xiao Ju Niang, right?" Mother Li was carried by a maid and walked up to Xiao Juniang and asked with a smile. At the same time, he also looked at Xiao Ju Niang quietly, Xiao Ju Niang, who opened a snack shop, because she had to work in the kitchen, she was naturally wearing coarse cloth clothes and pants that were convenient for doing things, and her hair was also tied in a tight bun, as for the bun, there was no jewelry except for a wooden hairpin that fixed the bun. The ears, neck and hands are naturally bare, without any traces of jewelry.
And Zhuang Zhuang, when he was helping out in the snack shop after school, he had already taken off the school uniform of Hanwen Middle School and changed into coarse cloth clothes, these two girls looked inferior to the Li family's helpers! Mother Li couldn't help frowning secretly in her heart, but thinking of the master's advice when she came, she still showed a smile on her face.
But Xiao Juniang is not a stupid person, she also observed Mother Li while looking at her. Mother Li's dress today is very rich and compelling. He was wearing a very rich thin silk cotton cheongsam, and although he only wore a simple bun on his head and no jewelry, he wore a set of jade ornaments of excellent color on his ears and neck, which was very valuable. At the same time, it also makes the ordinary-looking Li Mu a little more extravagant. Coupled with the fact that she has been enjoying life for so many years and has raised a somewhat plump figure, she really has the taste of a rich wife.
"...... are you" Xiao Ju Niang searched in her mind for a long time, and made sure that she did not have any memory of this person, so she asked with a somewhat inquiring tone.
"I'm Li Guoqiang's mother!" Mother Li said proudly. You must know that there are very few Chinese people who can work in hospitals, and she is naturally quite respected in the middle and upper class social circles of Chinese because her second son is a doctor in East China Hospital.
"Li Guoqiang?" How does Xiao Ju Niang know who is called Li Guoqiang, you must know that Li Guoqiang is called 'Doctor Li' every time he comes to Xiao Ju's house, and the introduction is also 'Doctor Li', so when Mother Li said the name of Li Guoqiang, Xiao Ju Niang was at a loss.
"Dr. Li Guoqiang from Huadong Hospital!" Mother Li saw that the expression on Xiao Ju Niang's face didn't seem to be pretending, although she had some doubts in her heart, could it be that her son had never been to Hu Ju's house? But seeing his son and Hu Ju getting along in the hospital should be very intimate, could it be that Hu Ju is like his own son, and didn't tell his family? Mother Li was a little hesitant about today's door-to-door proposal! If only I had known that I should have asked my son's permission before coming! If the girl who satisfied her son because of her two old meddlings flew away, wouldn't she be annoyed with them in her heart? (To be continued......)
