MTL - Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era-Chapter 6 Pack

Li Wansui and Zhong Chuhong walked into her small shop all the way. Father Zhong was still guarding the shop, which usually closed at 9 pm.

"Little Li, you're back, did you get your ID card back?" Father Zhong asked when he saw the two came back.

"Uncle Zhong, I got it back, I have to thank Ahong for your help to make it go so smoothly." After speaking, he turned around and said to Zhong Chuhong, handing over the bag containing the ingredients to Zhong Chuhong, saying, "Ahong, wait for these later. Bring something to my aunt."

Then he took out the stationery bought for the three children in Zhong Chuhong's family who were still in school, and planned to give it directly to Zhong Chuhong for her to take along with her.

Think about it.

He took out Dad Zhong's pen for accounting, and took out three pieces of white paper, on which he wrote "Study hard every day" in traditional Chinese characters. In the traditional Chinese characters that Li Wansui can write, there are just two words to learn. In the previous life high school calligraphy competition, this sentence was used to participate in the competition.

Then wrote another sentence in English, "Youcannotimproveyourpast, butyoucanimproveyourfuture.Oncetimeiswasted, lifeiswasted."

The translation of this sentence is: "You can't change your past, but you can make your future better. Once time is wasted, life is wasted." It was memorized when Li Wansui was learning English in his previous life. English famous words.

Li Wansui pretended like the wind, the gift was originally very ordinary, but with these notes, the Zhong family could feel the gift-giver's intention, and the gift became heavier.

By the way, I pretended to be an intellectual. You must know that in the 1970s, people who were proficient in English were all well-educated people. Ordinary people from Hong Kong would not do this.

Sure enough, let him pretend successfully.

Seeing Dad Zhong and Zhong Chuhong, their expressions were different. Father Zhong smiled brighter.

Zhong Chuhong was somewhat admired and a little grateful, "I didn't expect that Brother Sui who came from the mainland could speak English, and he was very attentive. Brother Sui told me just now that he would help me take care of my younger siblings in the future, but I didn't expect to start now. I encourage my younger brothers and sisters to study. I really want to ask him what this sentence means in English.”

Li Wansui stuffed each piece of paper into the stationery box, and handed it over to Zhong Chuhong, who asked Zhong Chuhong to bring it to his younger siblings.

Zhong Chuhong also came to his senses at this time, stopped thinking about it, "um", took the things and took them upstairs.

Li Wansui watched the goddess go upstairs, watching Zhong Chuhong's cheerful steps, feeling a little proud, and the relationship went a step further.

At this time, Dad Zhong asked with a smile on his face: "Little Li's writing is good, can you speak English?".

"Well, I learned it in my hometown before." Li Wansui replied.

The two chatted for a while. Upstairs, Mother Zhong saw that Zhong Chuhong had delivered so many ingredients, and then called her younger brother and sister over and solemnly gave the stationery to everyone, saying, "This is the stationery that your old brother gave you. I encourage you to study hard."

The youngest brother, Zhong Chutian, had already opened the stationery box happily, and saw the message inside, study hard every day, he knew it, but he didn't know the English sentence, so he asked the second sister next to him: "Second sister, what is this sentence? meaning."

The younger brother Zhong Chutian knew that his eldest sister Zhong Chuhong had only average grades when she was in school because she helped the family take care of the business. After graduating for another two years, she definitely did not know this English. On the contrary, the second sister Zhong Chuxue was still studying and should be able to answer his questions.

Zhong Chuxue also opened her stationery box. Her stationery box is not the same as her brother's stationery box. When Li Wansui gave gifts, he specially bought three different stationery boxes to suit the aesthetics of San Xiao at this age.

Zhong Chuxue found that the message in her box was the same as that of her younger brother, so she tried to translate it by herself. Because she didn't know nearly half of the words, she couldn't answer her brother's question. She looked at her younger sister Zhong Chulin, also with an ignorant expression.

After thinking for a while, he and eldest sister Zhong Chuhong said: "Eldest sister, is this all given to us by the eldest brother who came to our house today? Did the eldest brother also write this sentence, can you let him come over and translate it for us? Just a moment."

"Well, it was given to you by Brother Sui. After a while, Brother Sui came up and I begged him to teach you. There are also these foods that Brother Sui gave to our family." Zhong Chuhong was speaking to her mother in the second half of the sentence. Listen, she knew that his mother was in charge of the family's food and drink expenses on weekdays, so she was inevitably a little bit concerned. Brother Sui is in trouble now. Living in her house to eat, her mother must have some doubts, and speaking out will make her mother happy. She can treat brother Sui better. After all, brother Sui is a very good person.

After hearing this, Mother Zhong's face relaxed a bit, and then she became a little puzzled: "I've only known each other for a day, how can Ah Hong call a one-year-old brother so affectionate?" But he didn't think deeply, and said: "It seems that the young man is still a learned person. After dinner, you can ask him if you have any questions that you don't understand. You three little guys should take good care of it. Chance."

Chinese people attach the most importance to their children's education, even ordinary families. They have four children. The eldest daughter takes care of the family business and has average grades. However, the third child is still in school, and there is a scholar at home. Mother Zhong naturally hoped that Li Wansui would bring some help to the three children's studies.

After speaking, Mother Zhong saw the pink quartz watch on Zhong Chuhong's wrist, her complexion changed, and she ignored the three children and pulled her daughter closer to the kitchen.

"Ah Hong, didn't Li Wansui just swim here, he has no money, why did he buy so many things, where did he get the money?"

When Zhong Chuhong heard her mother's question, she replied with a smile: "Don't Brother Sui have a gold jade bracelet in his hand? He sold the bracelet and exchanged it for more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, so naturally he has money. I bought so many gifts for our family after eating and living for nothing."

When Mother Zhong heard this, she felt that the thought of worrying about Li Wansui coming to their house in the morning was a bit redundant.

But he asked again, "It's like this. You two have only known each other for a day. Why do you call it such a kiss? It's a one-year-old brother. Let me ask you if your watch was given by Li Wansui."

Although Zhong Chuhong has a straightforward personality, she is a big girl. Hearing her mother say that, her face flushed like a monkey's butt, but she still said, "Mom, what are you talking about, what kind of intimacy, this watch belongs to him. I gave him. That's because when I took him to apply for an ID card in the morning, he was wearing a pair of slippers, and he was going to look for a job. It was not suitable. I bought a pair of leather shoes for him, and he sold the bracelet to me. of".

Zhong Chuhong was run on by his mother, and he was embarrassed to call him Brother Sui in front of his mother, and used him to refer to Li Wansui.

When Mother Zhong heard this, she looked at Zhong Chuhong's face, and heard that he had just taken a sip of his one-year-old brother. After she had pointed it out, the old-aged brother didn't dare to scream. It was obvious that he had some good feelings for the poor boy in his heart.

Mother Zhong felt a little unhappy, and said, "You, you have only known each other for a day, so you are protecting him like this. Let me tell you, you can't be so stupid when you see people's hearts after a long time. Even if you have a good impression, you should observe more. This Li Wansui just came to Hong Kong, he has no job, and he spends a lot of money. After selling the bracelet, he bought so many things, I am afraid that he will spend almost 1,000 a day today. Yes, he is kind, but it is too unrestrained. Now, I’m afraid I’m not someone who lives at home, what should I do if I run out of money?” After a pause, seeing that her daughter’s face was blushing and bleeding, she continued, “You will participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest in a month’s time. Now, if you have a rank, after you develop, you won't find any kind of man, you have to hold on, Ah Hong."

Zhong Chuhong was shy and anxious when she heard it. The shy thing was that although she had only been in contact with Brother Sui for a day, she really felt that Brother Sui was a good person and had a little affection. Misunderstood brother.

Brother Sui is still very capable and will definitely find a good job. Although he didn't say it clearly, he should not even like the job of a lobby manager.

So Brother Sui is not a big spender, but it's not too good to argue with his mother at this time.

As for Zhong's mother's Hong Kong sister's ranking, development and other remarks, Zhong Chuhong often listens to it on weekdays, and ignores it.

Zhong Chuhong didn't know what to say now, so she could only say "um", then turned her head and changed back to her bedroom.

Seeing that her daughter was ready, Mother Zhong didn't say anything else. She opened the bag that Li Wansui sent, and found that it was both seafood and beef. She felt that what she thought was really reasonable, and secretly said: "Stinky boy, poor and generous, there is no money to pay back. Buying so many things. Seeing you spend so much money, you will lose your money in a few days."

If Li Wansui knew about it, he would definitely feel that he was wronged to the extreme. When he bought gifts, he deliberately didn't give away valuables because he was afraid of leaving such an impression.

But he is a descendant after all. He doesn't know the living standard of ordinary people in Hong Kong in this era. The Zhong family's monthly income is less than 4,000, but they support 6 people. How can there be such a luxury to eat.

And Li Wansui's consumption habits in later generations were originally lavish, but that did not mean buying food. People in later generations buy food and eat, who would think that person spends a lot of money.

After a while, Mother Zhong prepared the food and called the chattering grandpa downstairs to go up to eat.

At the dinner table, the three small questions were also asked by Li Wansui. After Li Wansui answered word by word, he said a lot of encouraging words to let them study hard. If there is anything you don’t understand, welcome to ask.

On the table, Li Wansui didn't say a few words to Zhong Chuhong, nor did he have any intimate actions. He was afraid that Zhong's father and mother would find out that he had bad intentions.

How did he know that all his little thoughts were interrogated by Zhong's mother, and Li Wansui's organs were exhausted, and he did not expect that the problem would lie with Zhong Chuhong.

The reason why he was exposed was because Zhong Chuhong was too protective of him, and was seen by the hot mother Zhong. Maybe when Zhong Chuhong didn't realize that he had a sympathy for Li Wansui.

Zhong Chuhong was taught by her mother's interrogation and run, and she was too shy to talk to Li Wansui in front of her parents.

After dinner, the three children took turns to go into battle. The liberal arts were fine, while the content of the sciences, the third sister Zhong Chulin and the youngest Zhong Chutian could handle it, and the second sister Zhong Chuxue's problem was more serious, which made Li Wansui feel tired. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but how to use Zhong Chuxue's knowledge to solve these problems. If he answered with his university knowledge, Zhong Chuxue wouldn't understand either.

Li Wansui hadn't read the textbook for many years. He had no choice but to ask Zhong Chuxue to take the book and read it for a while before giving Zhong Chuxue an answer. He didn't know how many times he scratched his head in the middle.

Zhong Chuhong watched this scene quietly, with unspeakable tenderness hidden in his eyes.
