Chapter 1106: The Return
After two days, Guo Xiang accompanied Guo'er and his family to see the house, and finally took a fancy to a four-bedroom and two-hall house of more than 140 square meters in the central area.
Big enough, spacious to live in, and one more room can be used as a study, as well as an office space.
Now as long as it is more than 700,000 yuan, in a dozen or twenty years, this house can be worth more than 10 million, and you will definitely not lose money if you buy it.
Then there is decoration, the company is engaged in real estate, and it starts from decoration, so it is natural to let the company's decoration master help install.
Tang Le designed the decoration plan by himself, Guo'er didn't go to work for the time being, sometimes came to supervise the process, and Ji Changlin came to see it from time to time when he was free.
Tang Le began to work at the Xiangjing head office.
Guo Xiang bought him a new car, imported BMW, which was considered the top in China during this period.
A president still has to be a bit of a showman.
Tang Le also worked very hard, knowing that he had a heavy responsibility, he didn't dare to relax at all, and worked late every day before going home.
Soon, it was June 30.
In the evening, there were still more than ten hours before the return of Hong Kong City, and Pingping and An An both returned home.
During this time, because of the party, the two trained until late every day before going home, and finally on the last day, the teacher asked them to rest at home, and they would go to the square early tomorrow morning to gather.
After dinner, everyone sat in front of the TV and excitedly watched the report before the return, which was an unprecedented event that no one wanted to miss.
"It's been more than 100 years, it's not easy!" Gu Zhennan sighed.
"It's ninety-nine years!" An An corrected.
"Huh?" Gu Zhennan looked at An An, and Guo Xiang also looked over.
"I've checked, it's been more than 150 years since the British occupied the port city, but the lease that is coming to an end now is 99 years." An An said.
Guo Xiang smiled, "Then tell me why it's ninety-nine years?" Not just a hundred years? ”
"Because there is an unwritten international rule that if the territory of a country is occupied for a period of 100 years, then the occupied territory becomes the territory of the occupying power."
To put it simply, if the Qing government had signed a treaty for 100 years, then after the expiration of the treaty, the port city would have become British territory. However, if it is less than 100 years, the port city will still be the territory of our country after the expiration, and this is a matter of sovereignty and cannot be relaxed. ”
Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows, An An knew quite a lot.
"I heard that the UK wanted to renew the lease later, but we refused, otherwise the port city may not be able to get it back." An An continued.
Guo Xiang smiled, "An An is awesome, I know so much, even my parents don't know it." ”
"I looked it up on the Internet." An An looked proud, "And I have a good memory, and I have remembered a lot of things that I have checked." ”
Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows, is this his super memory?
"Rest early today, don't you have to wake up early tomorrow?" Guo Xiang said.
"No, I'm going to wait for the handover ceremony, this is a once-in-a-century event, and it won't happen in the future if I miss it." An An said.
Guo Xiang nodded, it is rare for An An to know how to care about national affairs at such a young age, so let her see it.
I don't care much about Pingping anymore, and I've been playing his game.
But she didn't bother to care about the holidays, and they did work hard during this time.
The family stayed on guard until 23:59 in the early hours of the morning.
On television, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Hong Kong had already entered the stadium, the regional flag of the port city was lowered, and then at 12:00 on 1 July, the bright red five-star red flag was raised one after another.
The audience was boiling, and Guo Xiang even heard people cheering outside.
"Mom, look, look!" An An was also excited.
Guo Xiang's eyes were moist, she had lived two lives and felt more than others.
In her previous life, she witnessed the rise of the motherland, witnessed her rapid development, and knew that she would be more prosperous and prosperous in the future, and the country and the people would be safe.
Everything today is about laying the foundation for the future.
She has seen it, and she is even more emotional, and she is full of confidence in the motherland.
When the red star and red flag fluttered over the port city, people cheered.
Fireworks were set off at Victoria Harbour, and colorful fireworks exploded one after another, exploding gorgeous flowers in the sky.
It was so beautiful and dazzling, it lit up the entire port city.
"It's beautiful!" An An sighed, "Mom, when are we going to Gangcheng once?" ”
"Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded, it would be much simpler for the return of the port city to pass. Of course, you still have to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass, but it is very easy, and you can almost apply for it.
"Great!" An An smiled.
Guo Xiang looked at An An, the red light on the TV was reflected on her face, reflecting her little smiling face, so cheerful, Guo Xiang was also infected by her, and laughed happily.
"Alright, go back to bed, you won't be able to get up tomorrow." Guo Xiang got up.
"Ah, I want to watch it for a while!" An An called out regretfully, but she still got up obediently, she still had to be busy tomorrow.
The next day, the return party of the port city was held in the Great Hall of the People.
Student teams perform outside the square.
Guo Xiang didn't go to work and stayed at home all day.
The whole TV was reporting on the grand occasion of the return of the port city, and every station was broadcasting the return party in the evening.
An An's performance was also spectacular, so many pianos were placed in the square, and the children were all dressed in ceremonial dresses, all of them were full of energy.
However, the most scenes of the piano performance were given to An Jin, he was the leader, and on stage, An An and their side were just a flash.
But as a mother, Guo Xiang still recognized her daughter at a glance, and when she saw An An's confident appearance, she was very proud of her.
I didn't see it, there were too many people, and the lens was too little.
After the party began, a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars came.
It was the first time Guo Xiang saw the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong City singing on the same stage, which was a rare sight.
In her previous life, she was only in her teens, and she wasn't interested in this at all, and she didn't care much about it.
Now I feel a little emotional when I see the Four Heavenly Kings again, they are so young at this time.
Andy Lau wore a white gown, singing "Chinese" so enthusiastic, so beautiful, and exciting.
Later, I also saw Leslie Cheung, the living "brother", Guo Xiang was even more emotional, who would have thought that he would commit suicide a few years later?
Although she is a little regretful, Guo Xiang has never had any intersection with these people, and she doesn't want to interfere with anything, she doesn't want to change history, that's not something she can afford.
After that, Jackie Chan sang "Descendants of the Dragon", and he was so young.
There are also several well-known singers in China, as well as many stars in Hong Kong City performing on stage, which is really an unprecedented grand occasion.
The party went on for a long time.
"By the way, do you want to pick up Pingping and An An back?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"The school should be able to pick up and drop off the whole school, right?" Guo Xiang looked at his watch, "It should also be back, you go to the alley to see if they are back." ”
"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, got up and walked out.
