A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 212 We meet again today

"Sir, what would you like to order? In addition to Jianweixiaoshi Pills, our Longhutang also has Po Chai Pills, Wong Daoyi..."

Seeing Li Yuan enter the door, a beautifully dressed girl came forward and asked.

There are three shopping guides in this store of less than [-] square meters, and the other two are also receiving customers.

When they saw such a handsome guy coming in, both of them regretted accepting the guest in front of them...

Li Yuan smiled and asked: "I heard that your Jianweixiaoshi Pills are a secret recipe from Longhu Mountain in mainland China. Why are you still selling Po Chai Pills and Huang Daoyi?"

No, Huang Daoyi seems to have only come out this year.

The female employee smiled and said: "Dr. Huang is a doctor hired by our boss with a lot of money. He treats patients on the second floor. Huang Daoyi is a sacred pain reliever for bruises and bruises developed by Dr. Huang after decades of Xuanhuji. It is very effective."

In Hong Kong, a place where gangs are rampant and fights are commonplace, it is difficult to make a fortune selling Huang Daoyi.

Li Yuan exclaimed: "Your boss is really capable. He can even hire famous people from Hong Kong like Dr. Huang. It's amazing."

The female employee said proudly: "Of course, our boss is so generous! Sir, what do you want?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I am a friend of your boss. Excuse me, is she here now?"

The female employee looked at Li Yuan in surprise, her eyes full of speculation, and said with a smile: "Sir, our boss is not here. She has to drive to pick up the children from school and go home to help with their homework."

Li Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Is Manager Chen here?"

The female employee smiled and said: "Sir, you are indeed our boss's friend, but now Manager Chen is no longer working at Longhu Hall. In January, she went out to do things on her own."

Li Yuan chuckled and didn't think it was strange. He said, "Are you still building a silk and satin shop?"

The female employee nodded. Seeing that a new customer came in, she looked at Li Yuan in embarrassment.

Her salary is linked to sales commission.

Li Yuan asked the last question: "What number in Jardine's Hill does your boss live at now?"

"Jardine's Lookout, 25 Glenwood Road."

"Thank you."

……

"Ah Sheng, is the distance between No. 25 Cosmetic Road and No. [-] Cobb Road far?"

After getting on the rickshaw again, Li Yuan asked. He had an extra pack of Jianweixiaoshi pills in his hand. He opened them and tasted them carefully. He nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.

The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine here on Hong Kong Island seems to be no worse than that on the mainland.

Ah Qing panted, "It's 3 minutes away from Cosmeet Road, and you'll find No. 25 Kubo Road!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Ah Sheng, why is it called Jardine's Mountain? What a stupid name? Look at our continent, there are five mountains, and at the end there are hundreds of thousands of mountains."

Ah Sheng also had a somewhat clear idea of ​​Li Yuan's character. He was different from the mainlanders he had seen. This boy was definitely a master of nonsensical tricks, so he didn't care about his ridicule and said: "The headquarters of Jardine's & Matheson back then was In Causeway Bay, an observation tower was set up on the mountain. Staff would go up the mountain to overlook Victoria Harbor and direct cargo ships to enter and leave the harbor. It wasn't called Jardine's Lookout at that time, it was called Mud Hill. What, is it worse?"

Li Yuan chatted for a long time, but Ah Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Boss, Jardine's Mountain is more than 400 meters high. It's very difficult to climb up. Why don't we wait until we get there? Wow, you mainlanders It’s very unusual to treat people like this!”

Just because I scolded a mainlander, I was miserable today and was punished all day long.

Ah Sheng swore that if this mainland boy didn't pay him enough wages soon, he would go find Zi Dui...

Li Yuan laughed, turned over and jumped down without him having to stop, and said: "Forget it, let's just treat it as running to exercise. Let's climb up together. Come on, Asheng. There are still many good people in mainland China."

"..."

Ah Sheng looked at the road sign beside the road, which read "Gao Shimei Road 1-6". He had clearly arrived at the right place...

This Hong Kong boy had a distinct and profound impression on mainlanders for the first time.

Seeing that he looked worse than dead and gasping for air, Li Yuan took out a red Hong Kong dollar from his pocket and said with a smile: "Now tell me loudly, what are the mainland people like?"

The 100 Hong Kong dollar is mainly red, and many Hong Kong Island residents call it "redwood fish".

The big bull with a face value of [-] and the big gold bull with a face value of [-] are not available to ordinary people. The redwood fish is their favorite.

Nowadays, the rickshaw business is getting harder and harder, and most people are working on trams. A rickshaw driver like Ah Sheng can barely earn two redwoods a month despite working hard.

Seeing the redwood fish in front of him, Ah Sheng's eyes widened. He stared at Li Yuan and shouted loudly: "Ho! The mainlanders are the most handsome, the most eye-catching, and the coolest!!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly, put away the "redwood fish", took out a "green crab" with a face value of ten yuan, handed it to Asheng and said: "In the future, we must cultivate our moral integrity. There are hundreds of millions of people in the mainland, even if there are some bad people." , is also a minority, just scold the bad guys, don’t scold hundreds of millions, Mazu and Guan Gong will not bless you. Asheng, goodbye."

Asheng watched the "redwood fish" turn into "blue crab" and his heart was broken. It was only ten yuan, which was much more than what he made in a day. After he felt better, he began to regret again. Why is he so tongue-tied? You are so mean-mouthed that you lost a "Sequoia Fish" in vain. You cannot seize the opportunity when you meet a noble person...

……

Li Yuan followed the house number and found House No. [-], Gao Shimei Road.

A three-story villa with a Western-style entrance door and an elegant style.

There was an Austin car parked in front of the door. It should belong to an agency.

After Li Yuan entered, the company's store manager and sales lady Azhen were both there. Seeing Li Yuan's arrival, they happily said: "Mr. Li, the daily necessities in the room have basically been replaced. Do you want us to take a look with you?"

Li Yuan said: "Thank you, just tell me about the water, electricity and gas in the house."

The store manager and Azhen took Li Yuan around the villa together, and finally signed the house transfer deed, and the agency could handle the rest.

The two left with some reluctance. In fact, if Li Yuan, a mainland boy, suddenly proposed to them, they would not refuse the two women serving the same husband.

Not to mention her pockets are full, but she is also pretty for no reason.

It's a pity that this man named Li Aiguo is not sensible at all. He hinted at so many things and was as indifferent as a piece of wood...

After the two left, Li Yuan walked around the room alone and began to arrange it.

One large sketch after another was taken out and hung on the wall.

From the very beginning, the scene when Lou Xiaoe was wearing a mask and seeing Li Yuan for medical treatment, to the appearance of the two when they got married, to the appearance of Li Yuan cooking and Lou Xiaoe smiling beside him, to the happy appearance of a family of three when Lou Xiaoe gave birth to Li Xing. .

There are also the ugly appearance of Li Xing when he was just born, the appearance of holding a bottle in Lou Xiu's arms and drinking milk, the appearance of peeing his pants and crying, the appearance of riding a wooden horse and playing with Li Yuan while waving wooden swords happily, and when parting, in The way you look when you shout for dad in the car...

There is also the scene of Lou Xiu who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, with bright eyes and a slight smile, and the parting hug... Finally, there is the scene of Li Si being held by Lou Xiu in her infancy...

The walls on the second floor are full of hangings.

He also moved all the sofas and coffee tables in the living room to the rooftop, and then took out the furnishings in the living room of No. [-] Courtyard in Beixincang Hutong one by one and placed them...

The entire villa has changed drastically.

Finally, a few bouquets of roses and begonias brought from Sijiucheng were placed in vases and placed on the table.

After everything was ready, Li Yuan went to the kitchen. After being busy for more than half an hour, he looked at the time and saw that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

He took a deep breath and headed to 25 Cooper Road.

……

"Jingle bells!"

"Jingle bells!"

In the living room, Tan Yuemei was talking to Lou Zhentao. Next to him sat his eldest son Lou Ying and second son Lou Jun. The whole family did not look good. The internal phone rang, attracting everyone's attention. Lou, who is in his 30s this year, Ying's face became a little ugly again, she picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

The concierge and driver said: "Sir, there is a guest outside the door, saying... he is an old friend from Sijiu City, coming to visit."

Lou Ying was slightly relieved when he heard this, as long as he was not a creditor, he said: "Who is he? Did you tell him his name?"

Lou Zhentao said from the side: "Since we are old friends from the capital, please come in first."

The caller said: "It's a young man, his name is Li Aiguo."

Everyone felt baffled and no one knew this person.

Such a name is considered a bad thing in mainland China, but there is obviously no one like him among the people they know.

Lou Ying's wife Liu Qin and Lou Jun's wife Zhao Hui came out of the kitchen and invited people to the restaurant for dinner. After hearing the commotion, Liu Qin just returned the favor, but Zhao Hui was moved and said: "My surname is Li? Is it possible? yes……"

But then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, how could it be possible.

Tan Yuemei said to Zhao Hui: "Go upstairs and ask Xiu'er, Xiao'e and the children to come down for dinner. Do your homework after dinner."

Zhao Hui agreed and went upstairs to call someone.

Lou Zhentao didn't think much about it at first, but his second daughter-in-law's words made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible, but if you think about the things that your uncle has done, which one is within common sense?

He stood up and said: "Let me go and take a look. If it is really a fugitive from the capital who has failed in his life and comes to ask for help, I will give you a hundred or two hundred yuan. I will give you some help. Kiss me or not, I am a native of my hometown. No matter what we do, It’s difficult, and I don’t care about that.”

Lou Jun was worried and followed him out.

After Lou Zhentao and Lou Jun went out, Lou Ying said anxiously to Tan Yuemei: "Mom, how was your conversation with my eldest sister?"

Tan Yuemei shook her head and said: "You have no intention of letting up at all, Aying, don't force your sister. Besides, even if she wants to remarry, she can't be allowed to marry a gangster in the club, right? Don't say that your sister doesn't agree, it's me. I don’t agree either.”

Lou Ying's face turned red when he heard this, and he said helplessly: "Mom, what are you talking about? That's not a gangster in the club, he's the leader of Fu Yixing. The word pile in Hong Kong Island is the same as the company. You Just think of your eldest brother as a chairman like your father. Mom, after my father and I stumbled in the stock market last year, the foundation of our family was almost exhausted. If the company wants to develop, it is absolutely impossible without the protection of the title. Big Brother Cheng Since the last time I met my eldest sister accidentally, I was shocked and wanted to pursue her. But my eldest sister doesn't give anyone any face... Now people are stuck in our company everywhere, which is too difficult. If this continues, I'm afraid You will lose all your money.”

His wife Liu Qin also advised: "Yes, Mom, we did not treat my eldest sister badly when she came to Hong Kong Island. Besides, if Aying is finished and this family is finished, where can the eldest sister go? Sooner or later, she will return If you want to get married, marry your eldest brother, then you won’t have to be bullied in the future and you can still enjoy happiness."

Tan Yuemei hesitated after hearing this. She glanced at her eldest son who looked tired, and sighed: "Let me try to persuade you again... Didn't your father take out all the remaining money and ask you to pay off your debt?"

Lou Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, you don't understand company operations. If the company is not operating well, no amount of money will be enough to make losses... Now the family's life is maintained by my little sister's Longhutang. By the way, Mom, I heard Dad still holds [-]% of the shares in Longhutang?"

Tan Yuemei shook her head and said: "I don't know about this. I just know that before your little sister came, your little brother-in-law exchanged all the family property into gold bars and gave it to your little sister. Even the prescription belongs to him."

Lou Ying was speechless now. No matter how shameless he was, he would not seek to seize his sister's family property...

As the atmosphere became increasingly gloomy, a burst of laughter came from upstairs.

Lou Xiao'e walked in the front, followed by her eldest son Li Xing, Lou Ying's younger son Lou Junhao, and Lou Jun's eldest son Lou Jiahao.

Li Xing is eight years old this year, but the mature and sensible look on his face is not what an eight-year-old child should have. From time to time, he turns around and tells his brother not to fight on the stairs.

Lou Xiu was holding Li Si, who was almost four years old, while Zhao Hui was holding her and Lou Jun's little daughter Lou Shuzhen at the end. The two of them focused mainly on Li Si, trying to control him not to sneak attack on his brothers.

Lou Xiu taught the children at home very well, and greeted the elders politely after coming downstairs.

Tan Yuemei, Lou Ying, and Liu Qin no longer talked about heavy things. They all asked the children how they did their homework with smiles on their faces...

Lou Xiao'e saw the young man and asked curiously: "Mom, where are dad and second brother?"

Before Tan Yuemei could speak, Zhao Hui smiled and said: "There is a man coming from outside. He says he is an old friend of the capital. His name is Li Aiguo. Dad said he might be a fellow countryman who has come to visit me when he encounters difficulties. Go out and have a look. If you are really in trouble, give him a gift. One, two hundred yuan to help.”

When Lou Xiao'e heard the words "old friend from Beijing" and "Li Aiguo", her heart skipped a beat and the smile on her face disappeared.

Maybe she really had a feeling, but she walked out quickly without saying a word.

However, before he even reached the door, he was already there.

The door opened, and Lou Zhentao walked in with a face full of joy. The second brother Lou Jun's face was also full of surprise. He looked at Lou Xiao'e and said loudly: "Little sister, guess who is here?"

Lou Xiao'e's face was expressionless, but tears began to roll down in her eyes. There was no father and brother in her eyes, and she was staring at the figure behind them.

Behind her, Lou Xiu was also shocked and covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief!
"dad?"

Li Xing yelled softly, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, then looked up at the face he had seen countless times in the photo, gasping for breath, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Dad!!"

Before the words were finished, they turned into cries, and he rushed towards the door.

Li Yuan looked at his wife who was in tears and his son who rushed over. He couldn't bear the sourness in his eyes. He stepped forward and picked up Li Xing, then stepped forward and hugged Lou Xiao'e tightly into his arms. , feeling his wife and children crying in his arms, two tears rolled to the ground.

The fourth year of Lu, the fifth year of Lu, the year of Lu, the seventh year of Lu, the eighth year of Lu...

After nearly five years of long separation, nearly two thousand days and nights of missing each other, today, we finally meet again...
