After Su Yan finished entertaining the guests, Lu Fengnian took Hua Min back to his hometown. They had to find a way to get rid of all the chickens before the New Year and help their eldest daughter-in-law work next year.
Su Yan was going to drive the car with her master, so Lu Yiming had to help his mother run several shops in the city. At 8:30 in the evening, the store managers would send the day's sales to the courtyard.
When Su Yan is at home, they give the money to her, and when she is not at home, they give it to Lu Ting. When Lu Ting is not back, Jiang Lingling helps manage all the money and business bills.
Now that Lu Yiming was at home, Su Yan let him take care of things while she followed her master and senior brother to drive the car. There was no way she could get a driver's license, so she had to do whatever the master told her to do.
As soon as the triplets had their summer vacation, Su Yan packed her daughters' luggage and called Lu Yu to pick her up.
As soon as her daughter left, she bought plane tickets and took her three sons to Hong Kong.
The temperature in Beijing is only two or three degrees now, while in Hong Kong it is still eighteen or nineteen degrees. Lu Yining complained about the heat as soon as he got off the plane.
Lu Yian rolled his eyes. "Mom told me before we left that it's best not to wear turtlenecks. Now even if you take off your coat, your neck will still be uncomfortable."
"I listened to my mom and only wore three pieces of clothing: a base layer, a turtleneck sweater, and a fleece coat."
"Mom told you to wear fewer layers, but you're wearing either a turtleneck or a fleece coat."
Seeing that her two sons were still bickering about their clothes, Su Yan advised, "Okay, you two, I told you to bring fewer clothes because I wanted you to buy more clothes in Hong Kong."
Lu Yiming walked over and took the suitcase from Su Yan's hand. "Mom, please buy a few more sets of clothes for my brother and the others. It's too troublesome to bring a bunch of clothes back to the United States. It's better to bring back some local specialties."
"Some local specialties are not allowed on planes, so you should eat more of what you want at home, to avoid having those specialties thrown away at the security checkpoint.
Whether you want it or not, I will buy you two new sets of clothes for the New Year. If you don’t take them to the United States, just leave them at home and wear them when you come back.”
"Mom, how about making me a suit?"
"Can't you wear a suit during the New Year? But if you want a custom suit, I can make one for you."
Custom-made suits in the United States are definitely more expensive than those in Hong Kong, and the craftsmen in Hong Kong are no worse than those of foreign craftsmen.
"Okay, since you want custom-made suits, let's make a few more, and one for An An and Ning Ning as well."
Lu Yian asked: "What about my dad?"
"Your father only takes off his uniform 365 days a week for special missions or when he's on leave. He has two suits that he's never worn twice, so I won't give them to him for the time being."
After coming out of the exit, the mother and her two children took a taxi. Curious baby Lu Yining looked at the driver sitting on the right side of the car and was a little confused.
"Mom, why is the steering wheel of the Hong Kong City car on the right?"
"Because Hong Kong is a British colony, the British drive right-hand drive cars and drive on the left."
"Why is Britain called the Cthulhu? Can white pigs go crazy?" Lu Yining muttered in a low voice.
Lu Yiming chuckled, "Because its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
The taxi driver was speechless. Seeing a group of mainlanders dressed respectably, he didn't expect them to be so uncultured as to slander their breadwinners.
As soon as Su Yan and the others got out of the car, he started cursing, "Damn, a bunch of locusts."
Su Yan was carrying her suitcase and didn't hear it. Lu Yining got off the car last. When he entered the residential complex, he walked up to Su Yan and asked, "Mom, what do you mean by locusts? The driver just said we were locusts."
Su Yan frowned. Could it be that the driver just now was a British bootlicker?
Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Lu Yining guessed that the locust was not a good thing. He didn't expect that people in Hong Kong would look down on mainlanders so much. It was really sad.
Lu Yining quickly changed the subject, "Mom, the buildings here are so tall, which floor do we live on?"
"Eighteenth floor."
"Ah, it's so high, how are we going to climb up with a few boxes?"
"There's an elevator, so you don't have to climb."
"What's an elevator?"
Su Yan was stunned. Her children had never even seen an elevator. In the eyes of the people in Gangcheng, they were just country bumpkins and locusts.
"You'll find out in a moment. An elevator is just a big metal box with a set of pulleys underneath that move the elevator up and down."
Su Yan led the children into Building 3 and took them to the elevator.
Lu Yining and Lu Yian, who had never taken an elevator before, were a little nervous. They were afraid that a large iron box would suddenly fall from a high altitude. They wanted to ask their mother if she was safe, but when they saw a group of strangers in the elevator, they had to shut up.
After getting out of the elevator, Su Yan saw that Lu Yian and Lu Yining's faces were pale, and asked with concern: "Do you have claustrophobia?"
Lu Yian asked: "What is claustrophobia?"
"Some people become extremely anxious and nervous when entering enclosed spaces such as elevators, basements, and airplane cabins. They often pace around uncontrollably, fidget, and are often eager to get up from their seats to breathe some fresh air."
Lu Yian thought for a moment and said, "I was just worried that the elevator would suddenly fall."
Su Yan asked Lu Yining again, "What about you?"
"Like my second brother, I'm only worried about the elevator breaking down."
"It's possible that the elevator might malfunction, but the chance is very low. Don't worry too much. Professionals come to inspect the elevator every month."
After saying that, Su Yan took out the key to open the door. Lu Yiming saw that his mother opened an iron door and found another wooden door inside. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect there were two gates. It seems that Hong Kong City is not very safe."
Su Yan gently pushed open the wooden door. "I don't live here often, so what's wrong with installing an extra security door?"
Although she didn't leave any treasures in the house here, the furniture and appliances are worth a lot of money. What if someone breaks into her house and has to hire a moving company to empty her new home?
Su Yan walked in, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and changed into them, and then took out three pairs of men's slippers.
"Change your shoes before you come in."
Lu Yiming put the suitcase aside, took off his leather shoes and changed into plush slippers. Lu Yian and Lu Yining followed suit and changed into clean slippers.
