Chapter 9: The Little Girl

When Song Chun and Yang Mei came to work, they saw Zhou Ming looking through the English-Chinese dictionary there, after all, he had been learning English recently, so Song Chun and Yang Mei didn't pay attention to it.

It wasn't until they got off work near noon that they heard the conversation between the deputy director and Zhou Ming, and the two of them knew that Zhou Ming was translating documents, and both of them were surprised in their hearts at this time.

After the deputy director left with the translation documents, Song Chun and Yang Mei stepped forward, "Yes!" Han Chunming, can you translate documents so quickly? ”

"Hehe, I'm about to smash the English-Chinese dictionary."

"Han Chunming, anyway, I feel that your progress is really fast." The level of workers @ farmers @ soldiers and college students is well known, Yang Mei sighed with a smile.

"This is also thanks to the help of Brother Chun and Sister Mei."

"That's it! Don't be foolish here, let's go to the cafeteria to eat! Song Chun urged Zhou Ming with a smile.

The three of them soon came to the canteen of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and then lined up to eat in a regular manner, at this time Yang Mei looked at Song Chun with a smile, "Brother Chun, what was the situation when you went to Hong Kong last time?" ”

"Hey! When an international friend wanted to return the cultural relics, we went to Hong Kong to receive them, and found that they were all porcelain from the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty, which was also a trip in vain. ”

"Huh? So what happened to this matter in the end? Yang Mei asked in surprise.

"What else can I do, of course, I can't chill the hearts of international friends, popularize antique knowledge with him, and then come back empty-handed."

"Brother Chun, is there a lot of this in general?" Zhou Ming also looked at Song Chun curiously.

"Many! How not much. Song Chun said with a wry smile, and then looked at Zhou Ming curiously, "That's right!" Han Chunming, what document are you translating today? It can't be a secret, right? ”

"It's not! Confidential documents will certainly not be handed over to me. Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile and said, and then explained casually and simply, "It's a request document from my Egyptian counterpart, asking us to send experts to Hong Kong to help them identify and maintain a mummy yin." ”

"Oh! I see. ”

In the afternoon, the deputy director prepared the list of people going to Hong Kong, "Han Chunming, come to my office." ”

"Yes! Director. ”

"Chunming, originally the most suitable person to lead the team to Hong Kong this time should be Professor Chen Jianxin, but their Archaeology Department recently went to Xi'an to excavate the Terracotta Warriors, so I can only let Professor Chen Ming, another expert who studies dried corpses, go." Looking at Zhou Ming in front of him, the deputy director explained with a smile, "Considering that you have accompanied Professor Chen Jianxin to participate in the archaeological excavation of Mawangdui, and you also have a certain foundation in foreign languages, I arranged for you and Yang Mei to accompany Professor Chen Ming to Hong Kong." ”

"Okay! Director. ”

"Well, Yangmei is an old employee of our Exchange and Cooperation Division, and if you encounter something you don't understand, you must ask her more."

"Director, I see."

"Well, go back and clean up! Depart tomorrow morning. ”

"Goodbye, Director."

Zhou Ming still has some small expectations in his heart for going to Hong Kong as a public servant, and he also wants to see what Hong Kong was like in the 70s, and whether it will be as gold as advertised on the Internet.

At this time, Yang Mei also knew the news of her upcoming business trip to Hong Kong, and looked at Zhou Ming who returned to the office with a smile, it seems that she is also willing to go on a business trip with Zhou Ming.

"Han Chunming, you don't need to bring too many things to Hong Kong this time, the simpler the better, it's still very convenient to buy things over there."

"I see, Sister Mei."

……

Zhou Ming came home after work, and then explained to Han's mother, "Mom, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, you can help me find two random clothes." ”

"Huh? Where to? Isn't it going to take another few years? Han's mother reluctantly grabbed Zhou Ming's arm.

"Nope! At most, it will not be a week. ”

"Oh! That's fine. Han's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then urged Zhou Ming again and said, "Your aunt and Meng Xiaoxing are almost here, you hurry up and go to the front to greet you." ”

"Huh? I almost forgot. Zhou Ming then remembered this matter, and then turned to Han's mother and said, "Mom, I don't need to bring too much luggage this time, just find two decent clothes." ”

"Good! I know, go pick up your aunt and Meng Xiaoxing! ”

"Good! I'll go now. ”

Zhou Ming soon came to the vicinity of Zhengyangmen, and sure enough, he saw three women, an old man, two young and three women competing for a bottle of soda to drink, Zhou Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and then came to the balloon stand on the side, "Comrade, bring me three bottles of soda." ”

"Four-five."

After Zhou Ming paid four cents and five, he came to the three relatives with three bottles of soda, and knew that now this was the beginning of the plot, but Zhou Ming wanted to change the plot.

"Auntie, Xiaoxing."

"Brother Wuzi, you can be regarded as here, we are lost again." Meng Xiaoxing is just as babbling as in the original play, which really makes Zhou Ming feel irritable.

"That's it! Let's drink soda! ”

"Huh? Soda pop? Brother Wuzi, you are really good. Meng Xiaoxing, her aunt, and another little girl were all pleasantly surprised to take the soda.

"Chunming, Auntie heard that you are already working?"

"That's right! It's been working for a long time. ”

"Hey! It's better in your city, everyone has a job. ”

"Goo, goo, goo!" The three of them drank the soda in their hands in a few sips, and then they all showed unfinished expressions, "Uh~~~ This soda is so delicious." ”

"Xiao Xing, go and return the bottle, one can be refunded five cents."

"Huh? Can you get a refund for an empty bottle? Meng Xiaoxing said in surprise.

"That's right! Go ahead! ”

Soon Meng Xiaoxing happily returned the money with four soda bottles, but when she came back again, she was reluctant to let go with two cents, and her eyes were evasive and didn't want to return it to Zhou Ming.

"That's it! Keep it for yourself! ”

"Thank you, Brother Wuzi! You're so nice. Meng Xiaoxing was pleasantly surprised, and immediately sent Zhou Ming a good person card.

"Auntie, who is this little girl?"

"This is my little flower." The eldest aunt explained with a smile.

"Huh? Have you grown so big? Zhou Ming showed a surprised expression, and then explained to Meng Xiaoxing, "Meng Xiaoxing, give your two cents to Xiaohua." ”

"Huh? All right! Meng Xiaoxing was very reluctant to give Xiaohua a dime.

When the four of them were about to return to the courtyard, Zhou Ming whispered to his aunt, "Auntie, when you come to us, don't ask your neighbors for things, although people don't say it, they will look down on us behind their backs." ”

"Huh? Chunming, my aunt knows. ”

"Well, let's go home!"

Because of Zhou Ming's instructions in advance, there was no longer the farce of asking for clothes in the original play, because Zhou Ming started work early, the current Han family is indeed very wealthy, and Han's mother made a lot of delicious food to entertain relatives that night.

Just when the eldest aunt and Meng Xiaoxing were gobbling it up, Yang Huajian walked in with a big box in his arms, "Oops! Chunming, help me pick it up, this thing is so heavy! ”

"Hua Jian, what are you hugging?" Zhou Ming hurriedly got up and took the big box in Yang Huajian's arms.

"Chunming, these are all damaged old objects that I collected in our compound, and you can slowly repair them yourself."

"Great! I've had things to do in the evenings after that. ”

"Yang Huajian, have you eaten? Why don't you sit down and have a bite to eat? Han's mother hurriedly got up and greeted Yang Huajian and said.

"Auntie, you're welcome! I've eaten it at home. Yang Huajian saw that relatives came to the Han family, so he explained with a smile.

Zhou Ming returned to his room with the big box, and then whispered to Yang Huajian, who came in with him, "Huajian, I'm going to Hong Kong on a business trip tomorrow, do you need me to bring it to you?" ”

"Huh? Got an expatriate mission so soon? ”

"That's right! This time I went for a week at most, maybe three or four days. ”

"If it's convenient for you, just bring me a set of high school textbooks from Hong Kong."

"Good!"

Yang Huajian didn't stay in the Han family for long, and when the Han family had eaten dinner, Zhou Ming hurriedly ran back to eat, but Meng Xiaoxing was asking questions around Han's mother.

"Auntie, the fifth brother is so capable, why doesn't he have a girlfriend yet?"

"Hehe, you're quite worried about your fifth brother." Mother Han looked at Meng Xiaoxing with a smile.

"Auntie, what do you think of me?"

"What? What do you say? Mother Han looked at Meng Xiaoxing blankly.

"Auntie, why don't I be my daughter-in-law for Brother Wuzi." Meng Xiaoxing said without shame at all.

"Ahh Hahaha, Xiao Xing, you are so interesting. ”

"Auntie, what's wrong with me?"

"Haha, Xiaoxing, you are fine anywhere, but it is impossible to be with your fifth brother, so don't think nonsense." Mother Han rubbed Meng Xiaoxing's head, she didn't expect Meng Xiaoxing to dare to think so much, Mother Han still felt very proud of her little son.

The next day, Zhou Ming said goodbye to Han's mother, took a prepared bag in his hand, and after meeting his colleagues in the unit, he went to Hong Kong on a business trip.

But when Zhou Ming saw Professor Chen Ming, who was studying dried corpses, Zhou Ming suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, and found that Chen Ming turned out to be the little old man Professor Chen in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but I don't know if Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi will appear next.

The three of them got on the southbound train, Chen Ming turned his head and looked at Zhou Ming with a smile, "Han Chunming, I've heard of you." ”

"Professor Chen, I can follow you on a business trip this time, and I hope to learn more with you."

"Hehe, you are a senior apprentice of Jianxin's old brother, and I also came back from five@seven@dry@school just now, so we can learn from each other."

The train galloped all the way south, soon arrived in Guangzhou, and then came all the way to Bao'an County from Guangzhou, and the three took out their respective work permits and letters of introduction, and were soon received by special people to Hong Kong.

Looking at the scenery of the streets of Hong Kong along the way, Yang Mei looked at Zhou Ming with a smile and asked, "Han Chunming, you are the first time to come to Hong Kong, right?" ”

"That's right! It's my first time. ”

"When we're done with our work, we can take time to go shopping, and you can buy some clothes when the time comes." Yang Mei looked at the black tunic on Zhou Ming's body and said.

"Oh, yes! I also have to bring a set of high school textbooks and study materials to my friends, and Sister Mei can take me to the bookstore here. ”

"Good! It's very simple. ”

When the three of them came to Hong Kong, they met with the Egyptian personnel and immediately started their official work, and then Zhou Ming and Yang Mei discovered that Professor Chen Ming could also speak English, and he spoke an authentic London accent.

The matter was originally very simple, under the identification and maintenance of the experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau, this well-preserved mummy Yin was brought back to Egypt by his Egyptian counterparts, and Zhou Ming and others completed the task very easily.

"Chunming, there are many kinds of dried corpses, and this kind of munified Yin in Egypt is very distinctive, but I feel that it is still not as mysterious and precious as our XJ's dried corpses."

"Professor Chen, do you really want to go to XJ for an investigation?" Zhou Ming looked meaningfully at the little old man Chen Ming.

"Yes! I have devoted my life to the study of the culture of the Western Regions, and I thought of going to the XJ Taklamakan Desert to investigate. ”

"Professor Chen, you will definitely get your wish."

"Chunming, I want you to say auspicious."

……

After completing the main work, Yang Mei took Zhou Ming to the commercial street to go shopping, and after replacing some of the Hong Kong dollars here, fortunately, Zhou Ming had the foresight to go to the bookstore first, and then bought all the high school textbooks and learning materials here.

Of course, there is a big difference between the textbooks in the mainland and those in Hong Kong, but they are all formal and systematic education, and it will be easy to complete the systematic textbook study in Hong Kong and then take the first college entrance examination in the mainland.

"Han Chunming, didn't you buy high school textbooks? Why did you buy even a junior high school one? Yang Mei looked at Zhou Ming in surprise.

"I was worried that the textbooks in the mainland and Hong Kong were too different, so I simply bought the junior high school textbooks together."

"Hehe, you're so nice to your friend."

"Let's go! I'll accompany Sister Mei to go shopping. ”

"Haha, I'm going to have to buy one this time." When it comes to shopping, bayberry is happy.

Now the goods in Hong Kong are too tempting for mainlanders, Yangmei wants to buy anything when she sees it, and the most visited is the ready-to-wear store, and Zhou Ming also bought some gifts for Han's mother and family by the way.

Zhou Ming and Yang Mei walked into a very ordinary women's clothing store, at this time there was only a little girl in her teens in the store, looking at Zhou Ming and Yang Mei's peculiar dress, the little girl immediately knew that the two of them were from the mainland.

"Do you need anything, two?"

"Little girl, do you have any clothes in your store that I can wear?"

"Yes! I think this one is very good, the color is quiet and not bright, and it is perfect for you to wear at work. The little girl immediately pointed to a solid set of professional clothes and said.

Hearing the little girl's introduction, Yang Mei was also surprised by the little girl's cleverness, and then said to the little girl with a smile, "Then you help me take it down, and I'll give it a try." ”

"Good! Wait a minute. ”

Zhou Ming looked at the little girl in front of him and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, and his heart moved and he went out again to look at the signboard of this store, and when he saw the signboard of "Zhong's Women's Clothing Store", Zhou Ming had already confirmed the guess in his heart.

At this time, Zhou Ming returned to the store, but saw that Yangmei was paying satisfactorily, and then looked at the little girl with a smile and asked, "Little girl, do you have any clothes worn by fifty or sixty-year-old old ladies in your store?" ”

"Yes, there is, but it needs to be customized."

"Oh? How long will it take to get the clothes? ”

"A week at the earliest! Because we've been busy lately. "The little girl's Mandarin is very bad, and Zhou Ming needs to listen carefully to her Hong Kong Pu.

"Well, the clothes are ready, so will you mail them?"

"By mail? Where? ”

"The capital."

"Huh? Yes, yes! However, you will need to pay for the postage. ”

"No problem! I leave you the size and requirements, as well as my address. ”

"Han Chunming, didn't you buy clothes for your mother?" Yang Mei looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, who was writing the address and size.

"Sister Mei, I see that their clothes are good, just bring one more for my mother."

"Huh? Han Chunming, you are so filial to your mother. Yang Mei suddenly looked at Zhou Ming with emotion, because she found that Zhou Ming didn't buy anything for himself at all.

"Little girl, how much is it together?" Zhou Ming looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Clothes plus postage, you give 500 Hong Kong dollars, we will return the excess together."

"Good!" Fortunately, I have money in my space, otherwise the close subsidy brought is really not enough.

"Comrade, this is the number of our store, you can contact us urgently if you have other needs." The little girl handed Zhou Ming a phone number.

"Thank you, my name is Han Chunming, my phone number has also been left, you can also call me if you have any urgent matters, and the phone bill will be paid by me."

"Okay! Homosexuals. ”

Seeing that Zhou Ming was so caring, the little girl couldn't help but be surprised, at this time, Hong Kong, where the per capita monthly salary was only two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars, five hundred Hong Kong dollars was still a big job.
