Early in the morning of January 20, 1978, Sister Wen Juan and Cai Jinghua drove to our yard, and Teacher Tao, Teacher Li, Teacher Wang, Sister Yuefen, Sister Junlan, Sister Jinke, Jin Yuan and Ai Mei saw us off.

Teacher Wang said, "Take care of each other on the way, and come back early after the festival!" ”

Kexin smiled and said, "Mom! You can rest assured, we are going back to our hometown for the New Year! Let's celebrate the New Year here! ”

Teacher Li said with tears in his eyes: "Yanfang, Ah Cai! Say hello to your family when we get home! ”

Yanfang said, "Okay! Go back inside, it's too cold outside! We'll be back when we're done! ”

So, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, Kexin, Gangsheng, Cai Jinghua, Lilan and Jingdi got into the car with their luggage and belongings, and Brother Xiaobin and Brother Xiaohua drove us to Brother Long's Pier.

After Brother Xiaobin and Brother Xiaohua sent us to Brother Long's Pier, we got off the bus with our luggage and belongings, and after Brother Xiaobin and Brother Xiaohua shook hands with us and said goodbye, we returned to our home in the Demon Star Villa.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the eight of us took a speedboat to Yangcheng at Longge Pier.

On the boat, we sat together and chatted.

Hong Kong Sheng said with a smile: "Mom said that she was pregnant with me in her hometown of Daling Town!" Then, my mother, my mother, and Sister Yanfang seemed to have crossed the sea from some beach on the mainland to Port City! Alas, now, I'm 8 years old, how can time pass so quickly! I immediately saw my parents, my sister's hometown, Daling Town! ”

Yanfang said: "Hong Kong students! On the morning of January 17, 1970, our family was escorted out of Daling Town Primary School! After we left Daling Town, we lived in a cell in Yongcheng for a few months, and after we were released from prison, we went to Yangcheng, and then, one night, on a beach, our family took a broken fishing boat to Gangcheng! What a fishing boat at that time! It's not as comfortable as the speedboat we are riding now! Alas! When I think of these things, I feel that the world is so incredible and boring! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Alas! Let the sad things pass! Now, aren't we all starting to live a good life?! It can only be said that our fate is bitter first and then sweet! ”

Hong Kong Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Jinghua! My sister and Brother Acai are married, do you want a girl to get married? ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said: "Hong Kong students! Marriage is a big event in life! At the beginning of last year, I only came to Hong Kong City to work hard, and I don't know any girls yet! You say I'm looking for that girl to marry?! ”

Hong Kong students smiled and said, "That's right! My mother said that my sister and my brother Acai have been in love since childhood! Therefore, it is normal for them to get married! Brother Jinghua, if you casually find a girl who doesn't know you very well to marry, this woman may cheat you! Then you will be in trouble! You know?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Xiao Da smiled and said, "Hong Kong students! You underestimate you Brother Jinghua too much! Cai Jinghua is now the deputy general manager of Haolong Company, who dares to lie to him?! Now, he should have his eye on some pretty girl! Right! Cai Jinghua! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Alas! You can't hide anything from the CIA! There are indeed a lot of beautiful girls among our company's employees and customers! However, everyone knows that I am a poor deputy general manager! Moreover, I sat in this position only because of Chairman Acai! You say, that girl will like me? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Jinghua! You give everyone around the Ecstasy! I'll tell you straight! Mr. Fan Changwen, the big boss of our Haolong Hotel, and his youngest daughter Fan Huixi, why did they run to your office when they had nothing to do?! Also, you're going around to help the Haolong Hotel pull business! Even my wedding with Ah Cai was brought to the Haolong Hotel, right? Right?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Alas! The CIA is horrible! Xiaoda! Let me tell you, Fan Huixi is still a student who has not graduated from college, Huixi saw that his father was old, and he asked for leave from school to come to Haolong Port to help his father! They rent Haolong property to open a hotel and run a restaurant, isn't it normal for them to come to me?! I don't care, but you can't ruin the reputation of other people's yellow flower girls! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

At 12 o'clock at noon, we arrived at Yangcheng Afei Wharf, and after we got off the bus with our luggage and belongings, Lidege drove a business car to pick us up and went to the Hualong office of Xingdao Manor.

At 1 p.m., we arrived in the courtyard of the office.

Aunt Wen, Uncle Xian, Brother Zhengjun, Brother Zhengmin, Brother Zu Xing, Brother Lan Feng, and Director Ma's family were waiting for us in the courtyard of the office.

After everyone entered the house together, we were in the living room, introducing and chatting with each other.

Many of us met Director Ma Feng's family for the first time, his wife's name was Xia Hong, in her forties, from the southwest, she was a fellow countryman, and his son's name was Ma Yaya, fourteen years old, in the second year of high school; The daughter's name is Ma Xiaolan, twelve years old, junior high school level.

Brother Zu Xing smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! Everyone in the family is happy to know that you are married! Several new passenger ships of the family shipping company have just begun to be put into operation, and now, the Yangcheng transportation office of the shipping company has also opened, which is located next to your Hualong office, in the western-style building of Xiaoda! Now, Southwest Shipping Company's freight orders and passenger ticketing business in Yangcheng are handled by this office! This time, in order for you to go home to visit your relatives, my family sent me and Brother Lan Feng to pick you up here, and at 8 o'clock this evening, you will come with us and take the family's passenger boat back to your hometown Yongcheng! ”

Director Ma smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Recently, I went to Beijing to lobby for the matter of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone, and I fully communicated with our immediate boss! I've just come back from the capital! Ahh The leaders have agreed to our plan to create a large industrial bonded zone in the border area between China and Hong Kong! They also set aside a large area near the port of China to establish this bonded area! Anyway, we have something to do this year! Uncle Xian said, you married Yanfang, Xiaoda and Kexin, and gave us electrical appliances and gifts to our Ma family, these are rare things! Therefore, our whole family ran here to move things, and by the way, I would like to congratulate you! Uncle Xian and Aunt Wen have already arranged two tables for us to celebrate wine and food! Let's have a drink and chat! ”

Everyone laughed!

Uncle Xian smiled and said, "Yes! Let's go to the restaurant together and talk while eating! The meal was just ready! ”

So, we all went to the office cafeteria for lunch.

Uncle Xian and Aunt Wen set up two tables of steaming and hearty dishes in the restaurant.

I, Xiaoda, Uncle Xian, Brother Lide, Director Ma, Brother Zu Xing, Brother Lan Feng, Cai Jinghua, Brother Zhengjun and Brother Zhengmin sat at a table, and Aunt Wen, Yanfang, Kexin, Aunt Xia Hong, Lilan, Hong Kong Sheng, Ma Yaya, Ma Xiaolan and others sat at a table.

Everyone toasted our newlyweds, and we toasted them, and after that, everyone started chatting while eating.

Director Ma said, "Ah Cai! Now, Ma Yaya and Ma Xiaolan's two children are gradually growing up! Now, I'm starting to worry about their future studies and employment! I feel that the things they learn in the school here can only be used to write slogans and shout slogans, and those things are useless for doing other things! Ah Cai, can you help me send Ma Yaya and Ma Xiaolan to study at Jing Di and Lilan's overseas universities? I want them to be like Jingdi and Lilan, to go overseas to see the world and learn real skills! ”

I said, "Uncle Ma! We are relatives and comrades-in-arms! Your business is my Ah Cai's business, and I will definitely help you with this! After we went back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year, we should have returned to Yangcheng on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year on February 11th! When the time comes, you let Asia and Xiaolan come with us! I will bear all the expenses for them to go abroad for their visas, enrollment, and study and live in overseas schools. You and Aunt Xia will wait for them to find a place to work after they return from their studies! ”

Everyone laughed!

Director Ma smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You are a fairy, you will respond to your requests! Come, our Ma Jiajun will first toast you and Yanfang! I wish you all happiness and an early birth of a precious son! ”

......

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone finished eating, Director Ma, Aunt Xia Hong, Ma Yaya and Ma Xiaolan were going home.

We brought electrical appliances and small gifts such as televisions, VCRs, refrigerators, etc., as well as New Year's goods from the southwest that Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng gave them.

After loading their things, they drove away, and Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng went back to their office to arrange things.

After they left, Aunt Wen took Yanfang, Kexin, Xiaoda, Cai Jinghua, Jingdi, Lilan and Hong Kong Sheng to the guest room of the office to rest.

I, Brother Lide, Uncle Xian and Aunt Wen were drinking tea and chatting in the living room of the office.

Uncle Xian smiled and said, "Ah Cai! What a year has passed! It's been a year since our office opened! We've been through a lot together this year! Alas, you are also married! Lide they are also adults! You may not know yet, some time ago, Mr. Cen Tianhua brought Lan Caiyan and several other employees of the Southwest Shipping Company to Yangcheng to do business, and I asked Lide to help Mr. Cen and them! Unexpectedly, Lide and Miss Caiyan fell in love at first sight, and Mr. Cen also felt that Lide was a good young man, so Mr. Cen invited Lide to come with you this time to get acquainted with the Lan family, and by the way, I will go sightseeing with you all over the southwest! ”

I said, "Oops! That's a great thing! Sister Caiyan is our relative and little friend! Then let Lide pack his bags and get ready to go with us! ”

Brother Li De smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I've got my luggage ready! I just want to go with you to see your relatives and see the situation in your hometown! Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng also know about this matter! ”

I said, "Aunt Wen! There are a lot of happy events this year! You can give everyone 10,000 yuan for the festival! You make the watch right away, I'll sign it, and then I'll send you money right away! Brother Lide has no money, how can he go on a blind date?! ”

Aunt Wen smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You're a good boss! Oh, Wen Juan's marriage, I don't know how to thank you! Now, you're giving us bonuses again! ”

Everyone laughed!

Soon, Aunt Wen took the bonus form of the office personnel for me to sign, Uncle Xian, Aunt Wen, Brother Lide, Brother Zhengjun, Brother Zhengmin, etc. all gave a bonus of 10,000 yuan each, and Xiaoda and I also had a bonus of 10,000 yuan each.

Aunt Wen smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You and Xiaoda have worked hard for the office! You don't get paid, but you have to get bonuses! In the mainland, the renminbi works! 10,000 yuan can buy a lot of things! ”

Everyone laughed!

Then, Aunt Wen gave everyone a bonus, and Xiaoda and I also got a bonus of 10,000 yuan.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Aunt Wen, thank you so much!" When I come back from my hometown, I will bring you southwest souvenirs! ”

Everyone laughed!

At 6 o'clock in the evening, nine people, including me, Xiaoda, Brother Lide, Cai Jinghua, Jing Di, Gangsheng, Yanfang, Kexin and Lilan, got into Brother Zhengjun's business car with their luggage and belongings.

At 7:30 p.m., we arrived at the passenger terminal where we boarded the boat.

Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng were waiting for us on the dock, and after Brother Zhengjun sent us to his place, he drove back to the Hualong office.

The nine of us carried our luggage and belongings, and followed Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng onto a brand-new passenger boat.

When we arrived on the boat, Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng arranged for us to stay in the first class, and for the six boys to stay in a six-person room, and Yanfang, Kexin and Lilan arranged for us to stay in a four-person room next to us.

After we put away our luggage, we followed Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng to the restaurant on the ship for supper.

When we arrived at the restaurant, they had already set up their meals at a round table in the restaurant, and we sat around the round table eating and talking.

Hong Kong Sheng said: "Brother-in-law! Is my hometown far from here? ”

I said, "Yes, there are more than 680 kilometers of waterways, and this boat can travel 25 to 30 kilometers in an hour!" Therefore, it can take 20 hours to get home at the earliest! ”

Hong Kong students smiled and said, "Oops! This boat is going too slowly! The plane can fly 1,100 kilometers in an hour! Oh my God, it's more than 13,000 kilometers from San Francisco! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Hong Kong students! It's better to slow down! If only the ship had gone as fast as an airplane! The ship has flown to shore! In that case, do you still dare to sit? ”

Everyone laughed!

Brother Li De smiled and said, "Hong Kong students! How old are you this year? ”

Hong Kong students said: "Brother Lide! I'm 9 years old! ”

Brother Li De said: "Hong Kong students! What do you want to do when you grow up? ”

Hong Kong students smiled and said, "I don't know! However, I certainly can't be a bad person! My mom said that being a bad guy is hard work, and good people are bad luck everywhere! ”

Everyone laughed!

Brother Zu Xing said: "Hong Kong students! It's also hard to be a good person! Your brother-in-law is a good person! He's the hardest man among us! ”

Hong Kong Sheng said: "My brother-in-law is so hard for everyone! My mom said that such people are blessed! ”

I said, "Hong Kong students! You're so sensible! In fact, whether it is hard to be a person and do things! It's just a feeling in the human heart, and if you feel that it's hard to do, you can't move an inch! If you feel that they can bring you ease and happiness, how things will become easy and enjoyable! ”

Hong Kong Sheng said with tears in his eyes: "Brother-in-law! You are a brave and noble man! I swear, I'm going to be like you! ”

......

After supper, we all went back to our rooms to rest.

At 9 a.m. on January 21, we got up and washed up and went to the ship's restaurant for breakfast together.

After arriving at the restaurant, Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng were already at the round table, preparing rice noodles, fried dough sticks, steamed buns and buns for us, and we sat down to eat and chat.

Brother Lan Feng smiled and said, "Lilan! What do you eat overseas? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Alas! Foreigners only eat blindly! They don't know how to cook at all! Their cafeteria only has large pieces of meat, large pieces of bread, and some weird soups and miscellaneous soups! Brother Lanfeng! I felt that foreigners were so terrible that I cried for a whole month for their food! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Mainlanders like to beautify and look up to the lifestyle of foreigners! In fact, they are really inferior to us in many ways! It's just that mainlanders don't know much about them! ”

Hong Kong Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Jing Di is right! My mom said our hometown is the best! ”

After breakfast, Lilan and Jingdi took their newly bought cameras and took pictures of everyone on the deck!

They let everyone pose and mix on the deck, and give everyone photos, which makes everyone feel especially fun and colorful!

After playing, everyone quietly watched the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait on the deck!

At this time, the maple leaves on both sides of the river reflect the river red!

The surface of the river shimmers with blue and orange-red waves, and the wide river stretches forward and westward!

She disappeared like a multicolored dragon into the mountains in the distance!

The mountains in the distance seem to have been rendered by green, red and yellow and other colors, they are particularly bright and gorgeous under the sunlight, she is the mother river of the Lingnan nation, we are deeply moved by this big river!

This is the great mountains and rivers of Lingnan!
