Chapter 38, Su Daji's home

Tiu Keng Leg, located in Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung District, New Territories, Hong Kong, was originally a squatter area and later developed into part of Tseung Kwan O New Town.

The earliest name that can be examined in Tiu Keng Ling is "Zhaojing Huanshan" (or "Zhaojingling"); Because the bay of the place at that time was round like a mirror and calm without waves, it was called the mirror ring by the fishermen, and the hill on land was called the mirror

After KMT moved to Taiwan in 1949, some retired veterans and their families who did not want to move to Taiwan were resettled in the Davis Ridge Civic Village, but in the early 1950s, a group of leftist students went to the Davis Ridge refugee area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into bloodshed. As a result, the Hong Kong government relocated the veterans and their families to Hangneckling in June 1950. Later, the Hong Kong government took the homonym of "Hanging Neck Ridge" and renamed it "Tiaojing Ling", which means "adjusting the situation".

Despite its wilderness location, Tiu Keng Leng is a densely populated community. When the Hong Kong government was rushed from Mount Davis to Tiu Keng Ridge, there were tens of thousands of veterans and their families. The Hong Kong government originally thought that the Taiwan authorities would soon pick up these people, so they only regarded Tiu Keng Ling as a temporary refugee resettlement site.

As a result, two years later, the Hong Kong government found that the Taiwan authorities had completely failed to react to these veterans, and immediately cut off their refugee relief in an attempt to force the Taiwan side to come and pick up the people quickly. Just when the refugees in Tiu Keng Leng were dying of starvation, the Taiwan Relief Organization and the Hong Kong Church took action to give them some appropriate help and help them get through the most difficult days.

Perhaps because of the grace of life, the residents of Tiu Keng Ling are very pro-Taiwan, and most of them are religious, and are nicknamed "milk powder cultists" by outsiders - the church often gives them milk powder.

The refugees from Tiu Keng Leng have been living here for more than a decade, and the Hong Kong government was forced to give them some political pressure to finally give them water and electricity and recognize their identity as Hong Kongers.

Over the past 20 years, the number of residents has gradually increased, but most of them are still the families and descendants of former KMT veterans. Because of this, the political atmosphere here is very strong

Every year on October 10th, the residents will have a holiday and gather with teachers and students from all schools in the ridge to celebrate the "National Day" and hang the blue sky and white sun flag in the school. During the British rule, there was no deliberate interference in the conduct of these activities.

In its early years, Tiu Keng Leng was located in a very remote area, and the only means of transportation to the outside world was the ferry to Shau Kei Wan. Later, the government began to develop the new town of Tseung Kwan O and the construction of Po Lam Road began, so that there was a land transport link to Tiu Keng Leg. On the other hand, due to the fact that the area is far from the pollution of the city, it is still very convenient to get to the urban area, so some people with respiratory problems deliberately move to live there rather than move to the New Territories, which is further away

It can be said that in the 21st century, Tiu Keng Leng is an economically developed area, with a beautiful environment, and its proximity to Kowloon, making it a very suitable area for people to live in.

But that was in the 21st century, not only the subway but also Po Lam Road, now go to Tiu Keng Lean, don't look at the straight-line distance is only a dozen kilometers away, it looks much closer than to Lei Weidong's factory, but if you want to go over, you have to walk dozens of kilometers, because there is no direct way to cross the sea, if you don't want to do a ferry, you need to go around a big circle from Kowloon, the funny thing is that Lei Weidong found that Wen Bixuan's home actually passed near his factory, and on the map, the printing plant is much farther than Tiu Keng Leng from Hong Kong Island.

Because of the distance, only Liu Wei accompanied Lei Weidong over, and the others helped the Xu sisters move.

Lei Weidong and Liu Wei didn't know the road, so they had to be led by Wen Bixuan, and how familiar a little girl could be with the road, she ended up running a lot of wrongful roads.

What's even more depressing is that not long after the Lei Weidong factory, there was no official road, and it took more than an hour to reach the destination on the overgrown dirt road. When they came to Tiu Keng Ling, Lei Weidong finally understood what a slum was.

Don't look at the high-rise buildings here in the 21st century, but 30 years later, Tiu Keng Ling is now deeper here. The small fishing village in Zhen is not as good, you must know that there is no shortage of land in the mainland, although it is poor, but there is still a place to build a house, and Tiaojingling can be developed from a refugee area, a small mountain village has gathered tens of thousands of people, even if you want to build your own house, there is no place, what kind of life can be imagined.

After getting in the car, Lei Weidong could vaguely see the lonely tombs and crooked tombstones in the wilderness.

As for the housing situation, the whole neighborhood is a dirty and crowded shantytown, from the oil-paper shacks in the refugee camps, to the squatter houses and slab-walled buildings built on the hills, to the private housing estates with clear property rights, and there is hardly a decent street in sight, only a crooked stone staircase.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a place in Hong Kong, which is worse than the rural areas in many places in the mainland.

Wen Bixuan smiled a little helplessly and said: "Those who have a little money have moved out, and the rest are out of money, plus the land is privately owned, let alone building a house, it is very troublesome to renovate the house, so this is what it looks like here."

For Lei Weidong to come to his home, Wen Bixuan has always been a little strange. This is not the first time I have gone out to work, and my brother and sister often go out to do odd jobs. There has never been a time when the boss of the company wants to come to his home to see his parents, you know, it's just that the summer job is not so formal.

Hehe, if it were an ordinary girl working in the summer, Lei Weidong wouldn't be so concerned, so he would ask for warmth. Isn't this because it's Wen Bixuan, this is the future sexy goddess, the student's dream lover. Now that he has encountered how to let go, in Lei Weidong's heart, although Wen Bi is only working in the summer, but in her future, Lei Weidong, a slut, has already planned a Lori cultivation plan, it can be said that Wen Bixuan can't run out of the slut's palm, so he can only obediently give birth to Lei Weidong.

When the car reached the middle of the mountain, there was no road, and it couldn't be driven, so a few people had to get out of the car and walk.

Wen Bixuan walked in the front, not only stepping on the uphill stone path, but also constantly introducing the scenery to Lei Weidong and Liu Wei. In Wen Bixuan's tone, it could be felt that she didn't remember this place at all. It's like getting out of here as soon as possible.

Turning a corner, Wen Bixuan immediately lowered his head and his face turned red. I saw an old man in his forties and fifties covered in dirt, peeing on the side of the road shirtless. Seeing Wen Bixuan, a little girl, didn't shy away from it, he was still whistling while peeing, and his expression was quite chic and comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Lei Weidong also had to take it, in his previous life, Lei Weidong often urinated on the side of the road, and it was not easy to find a business toilet outside to run a business, and it was urgent to solve it nearby, but it was either in the middle of the night or when there was no one around, he quickly hid when he saw someone, which was like this person with such thick skin, and he was chic in front of the little girl.

Several people walked for more than 20 minutes to break the road before finally arriving at Wen Bixuan's house.

Wen Bixuan's house is a simple wooden house, the house is very dim, a chandelier is hanging weakly, and the ground is also uneven mud. The area of the whole house is up to 30 square meters, but it lives 10 people, and the only electrical appliances in the house are electric lights, not to mention refrigerators, TVs, and even electric fans. I really can't figure out how they sleep, and I heard Wen Bixuan say that they sleep with their sisters at night.

When Lei Weidong saw this, the first thing he thought about was family planning, the poorer he was, the poorer he was, the poorer he became. At this time, there was really no difference between Hong Kong and the mainland on the issue of fertility, and every household had a large group of children.

Because there was really no spare space in the room, Wen Bixuan had to move out of the small bench for Lei Weidong to sit. ”

Soon a woman came out of the house, forty or fifty years old, with gray hair in her hair, she saw Lei Weidong sitting outside the house, and hurriedly asked, "This gentleman, what is the matter with coming to my house?" ”

Lei Weidong replied with a smile: "It's such an aunt, Wen Bixuan came to our company today to apply for a summer job and was admitted to our company." However, because it was too far away from home and needed to stay in our company, we came over to discuss with Wen Bixuan's family whether we could not let her go home during this time.

"Don't go home and live!" Mother Wen thought about it for a while and asked, "This boss, Wen Bixuan still has to attend classes at school, will it delay his studies if he doesn't come back?" ”

"Mom!" Wen Bixuan saw that her mother was a little opposed, and hurriedly interjected: "Now that the textbooks have been taught, I have started to review!" I just need to come back when the exam comes. Mom, don't worry, I won't delay my studies! ”

"This!" Mother Wen is obviously thinking about it, after all, Wen Bixuan is too young, and she is still a little worried as a mother.

"Mom! I'm going out to earn money now mainly for the next semester's tuition, and my brother and sister's tuition hasn't been settled yet! In order not to let her mother object, Wen Bixuan directly used a big killing move.

Sure enough, when Wen Bixuan raised the issue of tuition, Wen's mother's eyes changed significantly.

"Okay then, Mr. Lei will trouble you to take care of it more." Although Wen's mother was worried about her daughter, because the family was too poor, there was nothing she could do. It would be best if my daughter could make money and not delay her studies! And the family doesn't have to worry about their daughter's tuition fees, and they can also subsidize the family.

"Thank you, Mom!" Seeing that her mother agreed, Wen Bixuan hugged her mother and coquettish.

may be because it was still early, Lei Weidong didn't see Wen Bixuan's father, only Wen Bixuan's brothers and sisters. I gave some small gifts bought on the way. Because the way back was a little far, Lei Weidong sat for a while. He got up and took his leave.

Wen Bixuan, a little girl, didn't want to take one more day at home, so she had to go with Lei Weidong. You must know that Wen Bixuan and the Xu sisters have been to Lei Weidong's house at noon, not to mention that the 300-square-meter mansion is compared with the family, that is, the simple meals eaten at noon are all delicious foods that can only be eaten at home during the New Year, not to mention that there is a big meal at night that Brother Dong said, and the fool lives at home.

On the way back, Lei Weidong said to Wen Biyu that the name Wen Biyu was too ordinary, so it was better to change the name. You must know that in the previous life, Lei Weidong Wen Biyu was used to Wen Biyu, and now it is too unaccustomed to seeing the previous goddess shouting Wen Biyu.

And Wen Bixuan has no special requirements for what to call it, and nodded with a smile: "I listen to my brother, you can call it whatever you want." ”

Lei Weidong said: "Let's change it to Wen Bixuan." ”
