The Spring Festival is the most solemn and joyful festival for the Chinese, and every year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, after sending the stove king to heaven, everyone begins to get busy and prepare for the New Year.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, whether rich or poor, have pasted red paper and hung lanterns on the doors of their homes, implying a prosperous and auspicious new year.

The Su family's Xinglong rice shop has also been very busy in the past two days because the Chinese New Year is approaching.

In order to ask for a good fortune every year, the neighbors are scrambling to buy rice from the rice shop, planning to go back to fill the rice jar at home, and the business of the rice shop is therefore more popular than any day in the year, and even Zheng Liru came to the shop to help today.

Su Jingxian, who came to the rice shop with his mother early in the morning, stayed in the shop for half an hour, and was so noisy that the customers who came to buy rice suddenly jumped his temples and slipped out of the rice shop again.

On the way home, he bought two strings of firecrackers and a couplet on the street, Su Jingxian watched the children in the streets and alleys laughing and chasing, and from time to time there was the sound of cannonballs, and the smell of gunpowder emitted by the end of his nose made him feel the full 'New Year's flavor'.

As soon as he returned home and put down the things he was carrying, his younger brother Su Jingliang, who was guarding the door at home, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Big guy, are you back?" Su Jingliang, who had changed into brand new clothes early in the morning, pulled Su Jingxian to the chair and sat down, and then took a cup of hot tea with a smile, "Drink tea, drink tea." ”

Su Jingxian glanced at his younger brother who was overly attentive, took the teacup and snorted: "If you have something to talk about, you had better tell me otherwise, you were expelled from school as soon as you went to school." ”

Before leaving Hong Kong for the United States, Su Jingxian spent money to send his younger brother to Diocesan Boys' Academy, and Su Jingliang had been in the academy for almost a month.

"Of course not, you don't even know how hard I worked in school." The younger brother Su Jingliang defended himself, with a dissatisfied face.

Su Jingxian turned the teacup and bowl, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Even if there is nothing else, right?" Well, thank you for the tea. ”

Younger brother Su Jingliang coughed when he heard this, the dissatisfaction on his face quickly turned into a sneer, rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "It's not that there is nothing at all, can you lend me some money?" ”

"I knew this cup of tea wasn't just to be drunk." Su Jingxian rolled his eyes, "How much tea money are you going to charge?" ”

Su Jingliang smiled and said, "Two hundred yuan is not enough?" ”

"Why do you want so much money for no reason?" Su Jingxian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he didn't feel sorry for two hundred Hong Kong dollars, but at this age, ordinary people earning one or two hundred yuan a month is considered a high salary, and a young man as old as Su Jingliang can have a few days of fun with a dozen yuan, and it makes him a little strange to suddenly ask for so much money.

Hong Kong is still in chaos now, and he is worried that Su Jingliang will not study well and become infected with bad habits.

Hearing the eldest brother ask, Su Jingliang rubbed his nose and twisted: "New Year's Day!" I want to go to Jinyun's house to find out, she has several younger siblings in her family, and according to the rules, I have to wrap red seals for others. ”

Hong Kong, GD around the New Year red envelopes just to beg for a lottery, it doesn't matter how much money is put in the red envelope, usually a few cents a piece, Su Jingxian also received a red envelope containing a five-cent coin.

However, he also knew that this was the first time that his younger brother Su Jingliang went to his little girlfriend's house, and the young man would naturally have a good face, so he would ask for more money.

"I've never been so concerned about you." It was rare for his younger brother to ask for money from him, of course Su Jingxian would not refuse, took out his wallet from his pocket and counted out two hundred yuan Hong Kong dollars, and then took out another ten yuan, "By the way, help me run errands, tomorrow someone may come to the house to pay New Year's greetings and buy some oranges, betel nuts and sweets to prepare for entertaining guests." ”

The big orange is the Teochew mandarin, because it is larger than the ordinary orange, so it got such a name, and it is the tradition of the Teochew people to give gifts or greet guests with the big orange during the Spring Festival.

And put a few betel nuts in the middle of the orange, but also to please a good mouth, betel nut orange, which means that guests are in good luck.

"Know, thank you guy!" After receiving the two hundred and ten Hong Kong dollars, Su Jingliang smiled and ran out as he jumped.

Su Jingxian looked at his childish back, and a smile appeared on his face, and he explained loudly: "Pass by the rice shop and let Lao Dou and Grandma quickly collect the shop, and come back to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" ”

Su Jingliang, who had already run out of the door, didn't look back, waved his hand to Su Jingxian, signaling that he had heard.

As a result, Su Jingxian was the only one left in the simple wooden house.

Su Jingxian, who was bored, sat alone in the living room for a while, put the teacup on the table, and took out a copy of today's China and Hong Kong Daily from his arms to read it.

China and Hong Kong Daily is different from the mainstream big paper, and Su Jingxian has never thought of relying on this entertainment-oriented newspaper to the mainstream, so the day before the Spring Festival, when the mainstream big paper is still publishing today's news in real time, although the China Hong Kong Daily is still publicized, the news page is full of old things from the previous days.

Because yesterday morning, in addition to the logistics of the factory responsible for printing, the other employees of the entire newspaper were driven home by Su Jingxian for the New Year, so naturally there was no news to publish.

Now in addition to a company in China Hong Kong Daily, there are also more playboy companies under Su Jingxian's name.

Playboy's office in Hong Kong is located in an office building in Central, still in the countryside of Yuen Long, next door to the newspaper factory.

In addition to the office and factory buildings, the two ghost editors contacted by Su Jingxian in the United States had also arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago, and they were in charge of polishing the content of an issue of the magazine during the day, and stayed in a hotel in Central at night.

The two editors, who earn US dollars in the United States, are now in Hong Kong, and each earns a monthly salary of 1,600 Hong Kong dollars, which is the largest newspaper editor in Hong Kong.

At this time, Su Jingxian's eyes were falling on the front page of the newspaper in his hand.

I will not tolerate evil, I will only be a good policeman - an interview with Mr. Lu Le, who solved the lost gold case.

Just seeing the title, Su Jingxian had a smile in his eyes, and when he finished reading the contents of the newspaper, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This interview with Lu Le was written by a small editor of China Hong Kong Daily, and the whole process was written in a question-and-answer style. In the interview, Lu Leyi was righteous, talking about how he received a report from the gold shop, how he took the cocoon to confirm the location of the criminal, and how he led the team to catch the criminal and return all the gold to the gold shop, like an image of a crime buster.

If he hadn't known in advance that the so-called culprits were a few old Sijiu (rotten boys) who Lu Le personally found to be guilty, and that the stolen gold shop was also the property of his father-in-law Cai Yunchang, after reading this interview, maybe even Su Jingxian would have praised him as an exemplary policeman.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Zheng Liru's home?"

Just as Su Jingxian was flipping through the newspaper in his hand, a slightly old voice sounded outside the door, and following the prestige, a woman about fifty years old stood at the door, holding a gift in both hands, and was looking at Su Jingxian with curious eyes.
