Chapter 133: Song Lan is in the headlines
In the sixties, not only the houses on the mainland were very nervous, but also the port city.
Rooftop sheds, coffin houses, and cage houses like this, even in the 21st century, still exist in the port city, and they are all lived by the hard-working people living in the lowest level of the port city.
Just like Jin Tao's family of five, they are crowded in this eight-square-meter place, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all crowded here, and it is difficult to even turn around.
In May 1962, Guangdong Province opened its borders and let a large number of disaster victims cross the port, and it was at that time that Jintao's family of five came over.
After three years of famine on the mainland, countless people starved to death, and countless people felt desperate and felt that they were about to survive.
After learning the news of the opening of the border, the people who had connections in Guangdong Province were all like crazy, dragging their families and rushing to Shencheng and rushing to Hong Kong.
In May alone, 300,000 mainlanders arrived in Hong Kong.
Where can the port city accommodate so many victims for a while, and they can only be caught and repatriated.
Jin Tao and her family are lucky, the family is neatly here.
After coming to Gangcheng, I got help from my relative, Jin Laibao.
And Jin Laibao is indeed righteous enough, good enough for them, enthusiastic to help and receive them, poor relatives from the mainland, and also helped her find a job in the hotel where she worked, and found this rooftop shack for them to stay.
Jin Tao is very grateful to Jin Laibao.
Even if it is just a handyman's job, it is the foundation for their family of five to live in the port city.
There are many people who think that the port city is paradise, and like them, when the border is opened, they rush to the port city in a desperate gamble and drag their families with their mouths.
But they have no relatives to take them into, and they can't find a job, so they can only hide in the barren mountains and mountains along the border.
Victims who do not have relatives in the port city will not be able to get the port city's ID card.
Not only do they have to go hungry, but they also have to risk being caught by the Hong Kong police and then sent back to the mainland.
Jin Tao also heard that even if those victims were lucky enough to cross the port city, some of them could not find jobs or food for a long time, and finally could not escape the fate of starvation.
There are also some people who dragged their families over, and when they crossed the port, they desperately squeezed and squeezed, and finally squeezed through the port city, but they were expelled by the border port police.
I heard that many people's relatives were separated in the flight, and in the places around the border, the sound of crying and searching for people can be heard everywhere, and the liver and intestines are broken, and people are tear-jerking.
Thinking of these days of suffering, and then thinking of those victims who were even more miserable than her, Jin Tao secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately they survived.
In the future, she will follow the future young grandmother of the Ye family to work, and their family's life will definitely get better and better.
When Jin Tao came home, Jin Tao was very relieved to see the three children obediently huddled in front of the broken desk to study.
The three children are two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son Gu Jindong is twelve years old, the second son Gu Jinxi is ten years old, and the youngest daughter Gu Xiaonan is eight years old.
Jin Tao and her husband Gu Chenggang are both honest people who are down-to-earth and hardworking, and they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, so they survived the three-year famine with their children.
After arriving in Hong Kong City, Gu Chenggang couldn't find a decent job, so he went to the construction site every day to move bricks, although it was hard, but he could also earn a hard money.
The three children also went to school in the mainland before, and the couple wanted to continue to provide for them.
It is true that the environment here in the port city is much better than that on the mainland.
If this were not the case, there would not be so many people who risked their lives to cross the harbor and want to run to this paradise of freedom to pan for gold.
When the three children heard the sound by the door, they immediately shouted happily when they saw that it was their mother who had returned, "Mom, you are back." ”
Daughter Gu Xiaonan rushed over and hugged Jin Tao's legs, and said coquettishly, "Mom, why did you come back so early today?"
Jin Tao smiled and said to the children: "Mom has found a job with good pay under the introduction of Uncle Noble, with this job, Mom can send you to school, make new clothes for you, and eat something delicious.
Gu Xiaonan said coquettishly, "Thank you, Mom." ”
She took the pastry in Jin Tao's hand, put it on the table, and asked the eldest brother to open it for her.
Although Gu Xiaonan was born in a poor family and had a hard life, their family relationship was very good, their parents were loving, and their two brothers doted on her and let her.
She also loves her parents and two older brothers.
In such a harmonious and blind date environment, no matter how hard the days are, their family can feel the happiness of suffering and happiness.
When the bag of pastries was opened, Gu Xiaonan immediately cheered happily and said, "Mom, it's a delicious chicken cake!"
Gu Xiaonan picked up a chicken cake and handed it to Jin Tao first, "Mom, you eat." ”
Jin Tao received her daughter's filial piety, but she didn't eat it, but pushed it back with a smile, "Mom doesn't eat, Mom eats so much at the owner's house at noon, you and your brother eat!"
"Thank you, Mom."
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible little daughter and two sons, Jin Tao was relieved and made up her mind that she must work hard to let the children live a good life as soon as possible.
Poor families like Jin Tao are also everywhere in Hong Kong City.
She and Ye Yinghua can be said to be the two microcosms of the poor and the rich in Hong Kong City, and they are also like people from two worlds.
The next day, before nine o'clock, Jin Tao rushed to Song Lan's house.
Song Lan's home phone has been installed.
When it was just installed yesterday, Song Lan also tried to make a phone call to Ye's house, and talked to Dong Yao for a while, making sure that there was no problem, and everyone smiled happily.
Song Lan also gave Dong Yao his phone number.
Once you have a phone call, it's easy to get in touch in the future.
The English tutor is also invited, and he is still a top student of Hong Kong University introduced by Li Xinghuo, and his name is Mu Qingyu.
The Ye family's side.
The invitation card for Ye Jingyuan and Song Lan's engagement at the Dorsett Hotel in Hong Kong City on August 6 was also sent, which immediately caused shock and turmoil among the wealthy nobles in Hong Kong City.
I don't know how many families who want to marry the Ye family feel that their dreams are shattered.
I don't know how many Huaichun girls want to marry Ye Jingyuan and become the first lady of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, and their dreams are shattered.
Media outlets from all sides are also rushing to report on it.
Everyone is curious, what is the origin of this woman who can win the recognition of the Ye family and the love of the genius scientist Ye Jingyuan? Who is it?
The day after the invitation was sent out, all the media in the port city, without exception, reported the big news on the headlines!
Song Lan's name broke into the sight of the people of Hong Kong City in this way.
