A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 100 Arrival
"It's not like we'll never see him again, it's just that we won't see him for a long time."

"How long is that?"

"It will probably take more than ten years."

Xiaoyu exclaimed:
"Brother, it's going to take so long, why don't we go?"

Since Lou Xiao'e got married, he has spoiled the three little ones to a fault. Cao Zhihua couldn't spoil Xiaoyu. His face was stern and he growled in a low voice:

"Xiaoyu, you are not young anymore. You are 16 and almost 17 years old. In the past, you were the age to get married. Why are you still not sensible at all? My elder brother has taken you with you for so many years and you have suffered a lot. Or have you suffered a lot? Did you listen to what Big Brother said?"

Dagouzi reached out and took Xiaoyu's arm, shook it and said:
"Xiaoyu, don't make trouble. There is a big brother in everything. As for those friends, we can meet again in the future anyway."

Xiaoyu looked at Cao Zhihua aggrievedly and said:

"Brother, that's not what I meant. I just didn't react and was a little excited."

Cao Zhihua held Xiaoyu's head with his hands and comforted him in a low voice:
"Big Brother knows, Big Brother knows that our Xiaoyu has listened to Big Brother the most since he was a child. In the future, you must remember that all the decisions Big Brother makes are for the good of our family. Big Brother always hopes that you will live happily. Yes, but this time the matter is too big, so I can’t tell you in advance, you can just follow.”

Xiaoyu burst into tears immediately, lay on Cao Zhihua's chest and choked with sobs:
"Brother, don't be angry with Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu likes brother the most."

"Why would eldest brother be angry with Xiaoyu? Absolutely not. In the future, eldest brother will take Xiaoyu to live a good life."

"Brother, by your side, we will live the best life."

"Yes, yes, brother, we all live a good life."

Cao Zhihua saw the hurried expressions of the three little ones, hugged them all with both hands, and said:

"Well, our family will always live happily and live a better life."

The three little ones said with moved faces:
"Well, our family must have the best life."

Just like this, while chatting and riding in the car, nearly four hours passed quickly. Cao Zhihua and Lou Bancheng quickly boarded the ship. It was a [-]-ton cargo ship. After assigning rooms, Cao Zhihua's heart always The calculation was settled.

It was the first time that San Xiaozhi and Chen Liang saw such a big ship and the sea. They were very excited and ran up and down along the side channel.

Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e also followed the little ones to look after their safety.

Cao Zhihua ignored the excited group of people. It took 9 days to get from Tianjin to Hong Kong, which was enough for them. As long as they didn't get seasick by then, they would be fine.

In his previous life, Cao Zhihua loved the sea. Every year between October and November, he would go to Yilitianya City to rent a boat and go out to sea.

Hainan Airlines is a very boring thing. It is a cargo ship with a large number of crew members, so it is definitely not possible to wear red wine, steak and bikinis, so Cao Zhihua spent most of the time in the room with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Bancheng's friend seemed to be an extraordinary character. He parked the boat directly at Taikoo Cang Pier. After everyone got off the boat, everyone realized that the boat had stopped directly at Tsim Sha Tsui and only called Niupi.

Cao Zhihua walked out of the pier and looked at the current location. It is very close to Tsim Sha Tsui Railway Station and is the intersection of Hong Kong Island Railway freight and sea freight. Yes, Hong Kong and the country are now connected by train.

After taking a long breath, I felt like I was free.

Cao Zhihua has great ambitions in his heart. Who dares to say that Hong Kong Island will not be my era in the future?
Who dares to say that in a few decades, this Hong Kong Island will not be the city of the Cao family?
Um, maybe it’s none of them. It’s mainly because you’re too tired, right?

Cao Zhihua saw everyone leaving the pier and standing on the roadside. The pedestrians nearby were pointing at the large group of people. He felt that there was no solution, so he walked next to Lou Bancheng and asked:
"Dad, should we go directly to Central now?"

"Well, let's go find a place nearby and call your eldest brother and second brother and ask them to drive to pick us up."

It seems
"Okay, Dad."

After borrowing a phone from a department store next to the pier.

Not long after waiting, Lou Xiaoe's brothers Lou Yunzhi and Lou Yunxiang drove over in an old Ford. Cao Zhihua took a closer look and saw that it should be a 49 model.After stuffing all the luggage into the trunk, the two cars were full and we set off to Central.

The undersea tunnel has not yet been built. From Tsim Sha Tsui to Central, one must take a ferry to cross the sea.

Sitting on the ferry in the car, it felt similar to the ferry I drove on when traveling to the South Island in my previous life. The car was parked below, and people could go out to the cabin above to rest and enjoy the scenery.

In the past 60 years, both sides of the Victoria Strait have been lined with high-rise buildings. It has the reputation of being one of the three most famous night views in the world, and its prosperity has begun to appear.

After the car arrived at Central, Cao Zhihua found that Central was already filled with traffic and became a spectacular sight.There are traffic control booths at the intersections of the road, and there are female police officers directing traffic, and everything is in order.

Cao Zhihua looked at the crowds on the roadside. Many Hong Kong women wore very distinctive clothes and had hairstyles similar to those of Chinese men during the Qing Dynasty. They basically wore cheongsams and mini-suits.

Men basically wear trousers and white shirts and rush around on the road, which is a bit like the fast pace of big cities in China in later generations.

Not long after, the car drove to the tenement building Lou Bancheng bought.

As soon as we got off the car, three mature women in their forties rushed over and shouted excitedly:

"Zhenting, Zhenting, it's really you. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Lou Bancheng was suddenly surrounded by three mature women. He looked very excited and shouted:

"Xiangyun, Kangkang, Xiangyu, long time no see. It's great to see you."

When Cao Zhihua saw the scene in front of him, he touched his chin. It seemed that Lou Bancheng came here before and did not inform these concubines. Cao Zhihua was quite satisfied with such caution.

At this moment, Lou Tan and Lou Xiao'e also walked over.
"Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, long time no see, you are still so young and beautiful."

When the three concubines saw the eldest lady, they stood respectfully and greeted:

"Hello, eldest sister, long time no see, we miss you so much."

"Hello, three aunties, Ezi misses you so much."

Cao Zhihua looked at the scene of the Lou family being reunited, a little unable to integrate into it, and looked at the tenement buildings in Lou Bancheng.

It is a standard five-story staircase house, with the bottom floor being the facade. It has been rented out to a business and opened a personal department store.

The street is the empty walkway between tenement buildings connected together. It is not very wide, about 6-7 meters. The shops on the first floor are connected in a row to form a commercial street. People come and go on the street. , the business atmosphere is very good.

After finally waiting for the Lou family to finish their greetings, everyone began to divide rooms. Each floor of the tenement house is about 90 square meters, and each floor has a standard three-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom.

Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan's three concubines live on the second floor.

Cao Zhihua, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, and Chen Liang live on the third floor.

The three children only live on the fourth floor.

Lou En and Liu Xuanwu live on the fifth floor.

Lou Bancheng's two sons, Lou Yunzhi and Lou Yunxiang, do not live here. They have their own houses in Mong Kok.

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru were exhausted from nine days of traveling at sea, and they became thinner. When they got home, they climbed into bed and rested, not wanting to move anymore.
