Chapter 62: Pathfinding
Now that I've seen the real person.
Huo Qingyun naturally had no need to hide it.
During the chat, Luo Heng quickly learned Alena's information.
Alena is of mixed British descent, with some Chinese ancestry.
It's just that her mother's Chinese descent is the third generation, and there are not many oriental characteristics in her body.
I found an opportunity that Alena didn't pay attention to.
Luo Heng said narrowly: "Senior brother, I didn't see it, you can still win glory for the country!" ”
After getting along for a while, Luo Heng didn't seem to show any special surprise about Alena's identity.
Huo Qingyun relaxed a little and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't make fun of me." What do you think of her? ”
"Very good, wow, I was worried before, senior brother, after you go to Hong Kong Island, it will be difficult to arrange.
"After all, there are too many people, and we can't let the fourth senior brother receive them all. It's good now, with the identity of my sister-in-law, let's spend some more money, and it will be much more convenient to buy a house on Hong Kong Island......"
Huo Qingyun heard this.
Some couldn't help but say, "Buying a house on Hong Kong Island? Where do we get all that money? I've heard that things on Hong Kong Island are much more valuable than those in Foshan......"
Luo Heng smiled: "Don't worry about this, I have a sum of money now, enough for you to go to Hong Kong Island to settle down first, and then I will find a way." ”
Luo Heng had already thought about it.
Three gold bars were sold last time, and there are nine left.
Let the elder brother take it to Hong Kong Island first, and find a good place to settle for everyone.
Go back and wait for Zhou Qingquan to bring money back from Nanyang.
Just prevent him from investing in Foshan, even if Zhou Qingquan is optimistic about the prospects of the cotton yarn factory.
It is also necessary to let him choose the site of the factory on Hong Kong Island.
After all, Hong Kong Island is still in the hands of the British, although it was also occupied by the Dongying people.
But the time was only three years and eight months.
Relatively inland, it's already very short. What's more, after the defeat of the Dongying people, there was still a harmonious war in the interior......
For special reasons, Foshan during this period is definitely not a good place to invest and build factories.
Huo Qingyun had to ask again.
Luo Heng didn't give him a chance, and shouted at Alena first: "Sister-in-law, tell me how you met my senior brother, right?" I'm curious......"
Alena smiled happily, "This story is so interesting to tell......
Huo Qingyun saw that Luo Heng and Alena were chatting hotly, so he had to stand aside.
From time to time, I added a few words, and at the beginning, Alena had some words that didn't make sense.
Huo Qingyun also helped explain.
But soon, he found that Luo Heng seemed to be able to quickly understand and respond accurately to Alena's strange and strange style, and even occasionally couldn't think of words.
By the end, Alena, who was chatting happily, had already begun to express the whole sentence in English.
In fact, in later generations, Luo Heng learned American English, plus the pronunciation and meaning of some words in these years. Actually, there are still some differences.
However, even guessing, combined with the context, it is not difficult to understand the general meaning.
Coupled with Alena's occasional half-sentence Chinese, the communication between the two is quite smooth.
Senior brother Huo Qingyun has already turned the river and the sea in his heart......
When he was talking about the time when the senior brother lived in the house of the third senior brother Wang Huaxuan, he was under a big banyan tree near the pier every day.
Helped the third senior brother's family sell fruits.
Alena, who came to Huaxia to find her mother's ancestral hometown, met her senior brother Huo Qingyun at that time.
Luo Heng subconsciously glanced at Senior Brother and found that he was staring at him with strange eyes.
After a little thought, Luo Heng knew that this senior brother was only afraid that he was frantically organizing the plot again, explaining to himself the reason why he could understand foreign languages......
"Senior brother, I talked to my sister-in-law just now, don't be disappointed, my sister-in-law really wants to experience our traditional hiring customs, but she is only here alone this time, she can't accept her own dowry by herself, right?"
looked at Huo Qingyun's somewhat confused expression.
Luo Heng was a little funny, knowing that the senior brother was only thinking about hiring others according to the rules.
I didn't talk to Alena about it......
"This can only be done by waiting for my sister-in-law's family to come to the East, or for my brother to accompany my sister-in-law to Europa. It can't be done for the time being. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Heng's voice changed.
smiled: "However, I just talked to my sister-in-law, and she promised to accompany your senior brother to Hong Kong Island." When you arrive on Hong Kong Island, you will have the identity and nationality of your sister-in-law, and it will be much easier for you to do things. ”
After learning that Alena is British.
Luo Heng sighed, it was too timely to send a pillow for sleepiness.
Hong Kong Island is now in the hands of the British, although it was briefly occupied by the Dongying people.
However, the attitude of the Dongying people towards foreigners and the attitude towards Chinese people are very different.
"Senior Brother ......"
Huo Qingyun wanted to say something.
was interrupted by Luo Heng's hand: "Senior brother, as I told you before, under the current situation, war may break out at any time.
"Do you want your sister-in-law to stay with you and take risks in Foshan?"
Huo Qingyun said firmly: "Let Alena follow the third junior brother to Hong Kong Island." I'll stay with you......"
Luo Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, listen to me, the fourth senior brother's family has been on Hong Kong Island for so many years, and we don't know the specific situation."
"It's not easy to bring everyone over in a hurry. Let you and your sister-in-law go to Hong Kong Island first, just to explore the way for everyone.
"When you arrive on Hong Kong Island, use your sister-in-law's identity to quietly buy a house near where the ghosts live, you must remember not to be reluctant to spend money.
"If the money is not enough, you pay the deposit first, and I will find a way to solve the rest when the time comes."
Alena listened to Luo Heng's arrangement, and nodded beside her: "Yun, I told you last time, I have friends who have invited me to Hong Kong Island several times, don't worry, when we get there, I will ask my friends to help arrange it......"
Huo Qingyun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and find out the situation for everyone first."
"When I find the fourth junior brother and hand over all the affairs of Hong Kong Island to him, I will go back to Foshan."
Luo Heng also stopped talking nonsense.
A couple of men and women with close relationships go to Hong Kong Island together.
If something doesn't happen between them, Luo Heng won't believe it.
Senior brother may not be the kind of person who takes the initiative.
But in front of herself, when she looked at her senior brother, she couldn't pull out the silk in her eyes.
Luo Heng is almost certain that as long as these two people get on the boat, they don't have to go to Hong Kong Island, and they will probably have to devote themselves to the cause of fighting for the continuation of the human species!
At that time, even if the senior brother can withstand the gentle township and wants to return.
Alena wouldn't say yes either......
Even if the matter is settled.
Alena went back to the other foreigners on the ship and asked about the fastest ship to Hong Kong Island.
Luo Heng and the senior brother went back to pack their luggage.
The two of them made a special detour, passing a banyan tree the size of two basketball courts in the future after the crown of a tree.
Under the tree, against the main pole, a shack was erected with bamboo.
Next to it is a stall with three or two common seasonal fruits.
The senior brother walked in front and greeted from a distance: "Uncle......"
The boss, who was picking up rotten fruits in front of the stall, raised his head when he heard the sound and smiled: "Why do you have time to come here today?" Didn't you say that you were going to take that loser to burn incense for your master......"
Huo Qingyun touched his nose in embarrassment.
Luo Henglai, who was behind him, was exposed......
