Next, the three of them hired a taxi during the day and traveled around Shenzhen. They visited the Shekou Industrial Zone, took photos with a sign that read "Time is money, efficiency is life", went to Zhongying Street to experience the "one street, two systems" policy, went to the China World Trade Center, the tallest building in Shenzhen, and experienced the China Entertainment City in Xiangmi Lake.

New Year’s Eve was here soon. This year’s reunion dinner was a seafood feast. There were many kinds of seafood at the Pengcheng Farmers’ Market, and all three of us liked them very much.

Lin Xiuyao took out the TV from the space and told Kang Kang that it was newly bought. It is easy to fool children when they are young, but it will not work after a few years.

This year, Teacher Zhao appeared on the Spring Festival Gala with Su Qingmeng's familiar Tangshan accent, and there was also a crosstalk program by Teacher Feng Gong. This year there was even a magic show. After the reform and opening up, the content of the Spring Festival Gala has become more and more colorful.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they set out for the port city. They had already obtained their passes in Beijing and bought train tickets. They arrived in three or four hours. A woman in her thirties was holding a sign at the exit that read "Welcome Writer Su Qingmeng."

Su Qingmeng walked over and said, "Is this Writer Su? My name is Wang Xinyan, and Brother Yang asked me to pick you up." She introduced herself in fluent Mandarin.

Editor Yang was the editor who worked with Su Qingmeng. She nodded politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Of course. This way, let's take a taxi to the hotel first." She guided Su Qingmeng out of the station and secretly looked at her. She didn't expect her to be so beautiful. No wonder Brother Yang said she was very easy to recognize. The best-looking person in the crowd was Writer Su. Their whole family was very good-looking.

They arrived at the hotel. Editor Yang had booked a five-star hotel, which was magnificent. Lin Xiuyao looked around like a country bumpkin, and Kang Kang also exclaimed "Wow".

Su Qingmeng thought it was normal. The hotels she stayed in on business trips in the future were similar. Wang Xinyan noticed her calmness and admired her. She fled to Hong Kong in 1972 and was amazed by the prosperous port city at that time.

"You guys take a rest first. I'll pick you up to go to the publishing house at two o'clock in the afternoon." Wang Xinyan was very tactful. She left them a separate space and went to the hall to wait.

Since there were no outsiders around, Lin Xiuyao was no longer reserved and checked the hotel's decoration and facilities. "When did we in the mainland have such decoration?" He looked at the large bathtub in the bathroom, thoughtfully.

Su Qingmeng fell on the sofa and said, "Soon, in a few years." The real estate market was about to take off in the 1990s.

Kang Kang stood by the bed and looked out, "Mom and Dad, there are so many buildings!" Lin Xiuyao also went over to take in the scenery, "Yeah, Hong Kong City is really developed."

"Of course, at that time, Hong Kong was still one of the Four Asian Tigers, but Pengcheng caught up quickly," said Su Qingmeng.

In the afternoon, I went to the publishing house to discuss the next day's procedures. Editor Yang has always been very enthusiastic. He has invited Su Qingmeng several times, and this time she finally agreed. He has greeted his familiar journalist friends in advance. Su Qingmeng's beauty is also a gimmick. When the time comes to promote it, there will be no worries about the book not being a hit.

He felt that Su Qingmeng's beauty was very special. Unlike the glamorous stars that are popular nowadays, her beauty is the type of cold beauty with a bookish air, and she will definitely stand out.

For three consecutive days, Su Qingmeng was doing book signings. She didn't even know she had so many readers in Hong Kong.

Finally, everything was fine today. Su Qingmeng slept in and got up to have breakfast. She picked up today's newspaper and "puff, cough cough cough," and there was a report about herself in the newspaper, calling Su Qingmeng a "beautiful writer" and praising her highly.

Lin Xiuyao quickly patted her back, "What's wrong?" After Su Qingmeng calmed down, he picked up the newspaper and teased, "It's quite right. Kang Kang, isn't your mother a beautiful writer?"

Kang Kang: "Mom is a beauty, Dad, can we go out and play today?" He has been staying at the autograph session or the hotel these past two days, so bored.

Su Qingmeng: "Okay, I'll take you shopping today." The security in Hong Kong was not good at that time, and the people from the publishing house were busy signing books. Without someone she knew to lead them, she didn't let the father and son go out.

Kang Kang cheered: "Great!"

Lin Xiuyao folded up today's newspaper and put it away to commemorate his wife's first appearance in the newspaper. Su Qingmeng turned a blind eye as she felt that the person mentioned in the report had nothing to do with her.

Wearing a mask, although she felt that she might not have many fans and her report was not on the main board, it was better to be cautious.

Wang Xinyan took them to the shopping street. Gangcheng could speak English, so they could communicate without any obstacles. Lin Xiuyao's English was also quite good. The three of them bought a lot of clothes. At that time, Gangcheng's clothes were quite fashionable.

Lin Xiuyao bought a Rolex watch, Su Qingmeng bought Estee Lauder skincare products, including eye cream and the Little Brown Bottle, and Kang Kang chose his favorite Lego toys. The three of them returned home with a lot of stuff.

They had lunch on local specialties: curry fish balls, egg waffles, pineapple buns, and clay pot rice. Afterward, they returned to the hotel and left their groceries in their room. Lin Xiuyao said, "Although Hong Kong is very developed, prices are also high. I've spent tens of thousands today."

Su Qingmeng: "Their monthly salary here is several thousand."

After lunch, we went to Victoria Harbour to see the night view. The lights were so bright, it was like the Milky Way descending, it was not like the human world. Kang Kang: "Mom, what a big ship."

Su Qingmeng explained, "That's a cruise ship." Looking at the layout on the deck, he wondered which rich person was hosting a banquet.

It was already nine o'clock when they returned to the hotel in the evening. Su Qingmeng gave Kang Kang a bath and he fell asleep quickly. Lin Xiuyao was taking a shower in the bathroom, "Wife, come here for a moment."

"What's wrong? Did you forget to take your pajamas?" Su Qingmeng had just walked to the bathroom door when Lin Xiuyao pulled her in and asked, "What are you doing?", which scared her.

"Wife, come, let's take a bath together."

Su Qingmeng blushed, "Can you be more serious? Hey, my clothes are wet."

Lin Xiuyao turned a deaf ear and insisted on pulling his wife into the bathtub. His wife was busy a few days ago, and he had been patient for a long time.

As expected, Su Qingmeng woke up late the next day. She spent the morning on the hotel bed, instructing Lin Xiuyao, "I saw a lot of fruit here yesterday. Go down and buy some. There's a supermarket not far downstairs, so don't walk too far. Oh, and remember to buy some durian."

She likes to eat durian, but it is basically unavailable in mainland China. When Lin Xiuyao bought some, she instructed him to open the shell. Lin Xiuyao frowned and said, "It smells so bad. Is it delicious?"

Su Qingmeng nodded, looking satisfied, "It's delicious." Kang Kang also took a piece and ate it. Lin Xiuyao took a bite, but he didn't like it. However, the mother and son had the same taste and ate the whole durian.

In the afternoon, Su Qingmeng went to see the movie adapted from her novel. It was an indoor drama, and she didn't recognize the male and female protagonists. It seemed that they were not going to be big stars in the future. However, there was a supporting role that she was familiar with, so she asked for his autograph. The agent of the film company saw her and asked her if she was interested in making a movie.

Su Qingmeng refused with a smile, jokingly saying that her current wealth was enough for her to live a carefree life, so she would not venture into the dangerous and treacherous world of Hong Kong.

The next day they set off to return to the mainland. This time they did not stop in Pengcheng, but went directly to Guangzhou. Lin Xiuyao also visited the manufacturer and bought a large amount of goods to put in the space. It was a rare opportunity to come here, so he couldn't go in vain. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the family of three arrived in Beijing.
