Although Sha Tin District belongs to the New Territories, it is close to the Lion Rock, over the mountain, and Kowloon to the south, so the transportation is more convenient, so it has been developed by the Hong Kong government, and the economic situation is much better than that of Yuen Long.

At the end of the Shing Mun River is the estuary of the sea, with Hong Kong Island's landmark Sha Tin Racecourse to the north and Fo Tan Industrial Zone to the northwest.

Because the entire industrial area is backed by several peaks of Jiu To Mountain, this area is a mid-level building, overlooking Sha Tin Racecourse and Shing Mun River.

Lin Baozai's home is in Suihe Court in the industrial area.

Occupied in April 1980, Sui Wo Court is the first HOS flat in Sha Tin to be built by the Hong Kong government, consisting of nine 36-storey condominium buildings, specializing in shopping malls, banks and clinics, and is a self-sufficient small housing estate.

There are four forms of housing for Hong Kong Island citizens, one is the self-built house in the countryside, which is the property of the aborigines, and it is generally not sold, unless it is demolished at a high price, and the small house in the Hong Kong film "Eavesdropping 3" is one of the representatives.

One is the commercial real estate developed by the real estate company, which is a tool for the real estate predators on Hong Kong Island to collect money, and the house price is the most expensive, and they can't afford to live without a certain economic strength.

The third type is public housing, which is a public housing built by the Hong Kong government for low-income people, which is only rented but not sold, and half of the citizens on Hong Kong Island live in public housing.

Finally, there is the HOS Scheme, which is the abbreviation of the 'Housing Ownership Scheme' launched by the Hong Kong government, which is specifically aimed at citizens with small families.

They have a small amount of money in their hands, and they are unwilling to rent public housing with poor conditions, but they cannot afford to buy commercial buildings, so they buy HOS flats from the Hong Kong government at a low price, which is equivalent to the brokerage properties launched by the mainland in parallel time and space.

Regardless of whether it is a HOS flat or a public housing estate, if you want to live in it, you must first apply to the Hong Kong government, and this is a benefit that can only be enjoyed in the old port, and there is no share of new immigrants at all.

Lam Po Tsai's family has been arriving in Hong Kong since 76 and is a new immigrant, and the new immigrants living in Hong Kong are under great pressure, they are marginalized by the workplace when they seek work, they are excluded by the old immigrants on a daily basis, and they cannot fully enjoy social welfare, so they can only engage in the most basic labor work.

"Bao Zai, is your house rented or bought?"

Li Ling judged that it was rented, and with Lin Baozai's family situation, not to mention whether the funds were sufficient, it was a difficult problem to apply for a HOS flat in the first place, and it was almost impossible to pass the review.

"A new house bought last year!" Lin Baozai's answer surprised Li Ling.

"Yo? Your old bean is a good mix, since you can afford to buy an HOS house, why don't you give Brother Longtail an extra 2,000 yuan in insurance money? ”

"The house was bought with borrowed money, and it hasn't been paid off yet!" Lin Baozai 1510 through the old bottom,

"During the Spring Festival, my old dou went home to visit relatives and talked to my uncle about it, and I was next to him, according to my old dou, my family was not eligible to apply for HOS flats, and it was the owner of his factory who helped.

My old bean is a little older, I can't do the assembly line, when I first entered the factory, I looked at the gate, and then I looked at the warehouse, but he was faithful and conscientious.

Because he saved a fire and saved hundreds of thousands of losses for his boss, he was appreciated by his boss since then, not only did he handle the review of the HOS for him, but also transferred him to the design department, giving him the opportunity to show his strengths! ”

"You old bean actually turned your life into an inspirational drama? It's worth learning from our juniors! ”

The more loyal Li Ling is, the more he appreciates it, and he is more at ease about the matter of staying overnight.

Lin Baozai laughed, Lao Dou could be learned by Brother A Ling, he felt very proud.

As they spoke, the two walked to a railway, and Lin Baozai pointed and asked, "Brother Aling, where does this railway lead?" ”

"I've heard of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, this is the railway line that goes directly to the mainland, the mainland terminal is Yangcheng Railway Station, and the terminal of Hong Kong Island is Kowloon Hung Hom Station, which has a history of more than 100 years.

In order to trade with us, the British took great pains to build it at their own expense. ”

Li Ling has already seen the high-rise buildings of Suihe Court from afar, crossed the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and can reach the place after another housing estate.

"It turns out that this is the Kowloon-Canton Railway!" Lin Baozai was very excited,

"My old bean mother goes home every year to visit relatives, and she takes the Kowloon-Guangzhou Railway, and I have been to see them off many times, and when I return to the mainland in the future, I will also come here to take the train."

"Missing the mainland?"

"Of course, Hong Kong Island people are bad and love to bully people."

"Then work hard to make a lot of money and go back to the mainland to live in the future."

"Hmm!"

……

The two of them boarded the footbridge, crossed the railway, and soon found themselves in Suihe Garden.

The large-scale construction of public housing on Hong Kong Island began in the 80s, and the number of HOS flats was scarce in the 70s, with no more than 10 in Hong Kong, and there was only this one in Sha Tin.

Each unit has a gross floor area of between 430 and 650 feet (43 to 65 square feet), a saleable area of 380 to 570 square feet, with a minimum price of HK$100,000 and a maximum price of HK$250,000, with an average of HK$3,000 per square meter.

Of course, this was during the 1980 boom, when house prices plummeted and HOS prices have fallen by half.

Room H on the 12th floor of the seventh building of Suihe Court is Lin Baozai's home.

The door number of the corridor is lined from A to K, and at first glance, the layout looks like a university dormitory, but there is just an elevator.

The space at the elevator entrance is relatively wide, and there is a table, and four grandmothers of different ages are playing mahjong.

One of them had a stroller next to him, and the child in it was no more than a year old, and the mother had a cigarette in her mouth.

Hong Kong Island Grandma has three extraordinary talents, making soup, playing mahjong, and chatting gossip.

After Li Ling and the two appeared, the grandmothers joked noisily:

"Little pretty boy, which family are you a relative? Don't be shy, blushing or what? Look up and let Auntie take a look, and Auntie will introduce you to your little girlfriend another day. ”

"Big pretty boy, whose family are you? Dressed up so fashionably, isn't it a son-in-law coming to the door! ”

"You are so tall, you have been a TVB autumn official, which family has you as a son-in-law, it can be regarded as a façade!"

"Sister Pomegranate, who is Qiu Guan?" The young grandmother was more reserved and soft-spoken.

"Isn't it? You don't even know Qiu Guan! I've seen "Chu Liuxiang", Chu Liuxiang's actor Zheng Shaoqiu!

Mainland girls just don't have knowledge, you don't have knowledge, forget it, you read more news, stay at home all day and play mahjong, and always lose money.

Does your husband change his tricks and flatten you every day? Cut, I'm embarrassed to win you. ”

Sister Pomegranate is the baby's mother.

"I know Zheng Shaoqiu, the newspaper said that he was married to a star called 'Fat Sister', Sister Pomegranate, the two of them are not a good match." The young grandmother has a good temper.

"Not a good match? The ghosts can see it clearly! The other grandmothers spoke in unison, and they all joined the nagging group.

"Sister Fat was a big star early on, Qiu Guan only made his fortune after catching up with Sister Fat, and the opportunity for him to play Chu Liuxiang was won by Sister Fei."

"What if you're married? The two of them are not coordinated when they stand together, no matter how infatuated the fat sister is, can she stop Qiu Guan from messing with flowers and grass outside?

Qiu Guan is a killer of his grandmother, and the girl is also killed, I don't know how many beautiful girls are willing to climb his bed, the two of them, it won't last long. ”

These grandmothers, four words, are all eight women.

They were originally joking about the size of the beautiful boy, talking and starting to study Liu Liangzai, after the research was completed, they continued to analyze Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia, and soon talked about the topic of Xu Guanjie, the number one red star on Hong Kong Island, what to talk about?

Xu Guanjie ate soup at the newly completed Hung Hom Stadium in early May, and this Sunday will hold his first concert, and the teachers and grandmothers want to watch it, discussing how to find their husbands to cheat money, so as to book tickets and send flowers.

Li Ling didn't open his mouth from beginning to end, he just smiled, he wanted to say hello and say hello, but the grandmothers spoke like machine guns, and they didn't give him a chance to interject at all.

But Li Ling still gained something, through the chat of this group of grandmothers, Li Ling learned that there is no star Zhou Yanfa in this world, no brother Zhang Guorong, and no big brother Di Long.

In other words, the actors who starred in the [True Colors of Heroes] movie are not actors in this world, and there are only Xiao Ma Ge, Song Zihao and Song Zijie in this world.

Knowing this, Li Ling led Lin Baozai to find room H, this location is at the end of the corridor, and the grandmothers can no longer be seen, Lin Baozai pursed his lips and snorted:

"Brother Aling, these old daughters-in-law are so annoying, like the long-mouthed women on the street in my hometown!"

"When you marry a wife in the future, Tianyin will become this virtue at home!"

Li Ling actually likes Hong Kong Island Master's Milk, she has always had a vision, and her gossip level is also deep, and she can even foresee the separation and integration of Qiu Guan and Sister Fat, which is even more professional than the dog cub team!

He expressed his admiration!

I rang the doorbell several times, but no one opened the door, and there was obviously no one at home.

He and Lin Baozai stood in the aisle and waited.

It's now one o'clock at noon, and the neighbors who should go to work are working, and those who don't go to work are playing mahjong or taking a nap, and they haven't met their neighbors for an hour.

When it was almost three o'clock, a big fat man rolled in.

The big fat man held a key in his hand and went straight to room H.

When he arrived at the door, he noticed Lin Baozai, opened the door in a hurry, tilted his head and stared at him in confusion.

After looking at it for a moment, he stretched out his fat index finger and shook it in front of Lin Baozai: "You...... You ......"

You said four or five times, and his sleepy eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you Lin Baozai?" ”

"Yes!" Lin Baozai was nervous when he saw the living person, and squeezed into Li Ling's arms before asking, "Big man, how do you know my name?" ”

"What a treasure!" The fat man was overjoyed, and clamped Lin Baozai's shoulder, "I've been looking for you all morning, and I'm going crazy!" ”

"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Baozai shook him off and hid behind Li Ling, "Brother Ah Ling, if you talk to him, I'm afraid!" ”

"Silly boy, this fat brother knows your name, he must be a friend of your family, what are you afraid of?" Li Ling stretched out his hand in front of the fat man,

"Hello, my name is Li Ling, and I escaped with Bao Zai last night, because Bao Zai's family broke the appointment, and Brother Changwei entrusted me to escort him.

Originally, we called, but no one answered at home, and we had no other way but to touch the door! ”
