In Xu Manman’s previous life, China could only call this a miserable victory in this war without gunpowder. But in this life, with Xiao Jin, they have won a “complete victory”!
In December, it started snowing and people had to heat their kangs in Beijing, but the temperature in Hong Kong was still very suitable.
Sometimes the sun is strong during the day and you can only wear short sleeves.
Anyway, the purpose of coming out is to experience new things and broaden their horizons. Xu Manman's family also took several elders to see the concert.
I thought Xu Lei, who had been in the army for so many years, would not be able to adapt, but I didn't expect that he would be the fastest to accept it.
Xu Lei ignored his niece's surprised look and said, "If your uncle hadn't joined the army, he would have been an artist. It's a pity that none of the records I collected over the years have survived."
When he was young, he kept up with the fashion. Even when he got older, he didn't become old-fashioned. Don't underestimate him.
But thinking about the record player that he destroyed with his own hands, I feel heartbroken.
As a caring niece, how could I let my uncle feel heartache and regret?
Before the next day, someone delivered a retro record player and a whole box of records.
In addition to these, there are also popular CD players on the market, and album CDs released by different singers, including many from foreign singers.
Apart from the Hong Kong Coliseum and the stadium, another place they like to go most is the cinema.
Due to domestic regulations, many TV shows and movies are not released in mainland China, so all they can access is a small, screened portion.
Moreover, their social circles are not exposed to those who come in through gray channels.
Coming to Hong Kong this time is like opening the door to a new world.
What surprised Xu Manman was that her aunt and Chen Meiyu's favorite movies were horror movies, the kind about fighting zombies.
Men are more interested in action movies and police and gangster movies.
In order to strongly support everyone's hobby, Xu Manman also asked Jin Zichu to temporarily transform a home theater in the big house, which received unanimous praise from everyone.
Because of the entertainment, everyone has become like internet-addicted teenagers and girls who don’t like to go out.
They also went to Happy Valley a few times to try it out, but the three Xu brothers lost interest in this gambling-like activity after playing a couple of rounds.
They stayed in the port city until after New Year's Day, and then set off to go back.
Back in the bitterly cold Haishi, Chen Meiyu wrapped herself in the fur coat her daughter had made for her this year. "It's still more comfortable to spend the winter in Hong Kong. I'm not used to it after staying there for so long."
Xu Manman forked a piece of apple into her mouth and said, "I told you to spend the New Year over there, but you didn't listen."
"Forget New Year's Day, but how can we be away from home for Chinese New Year? Who doesn't go home for Chinese New Year? How can we have a reunion dinner without everyone together?"
Xu Manman was just teasing her, she also knew that it was not realistic to spend the New Year away from home.
Even for herself, no matter where she wanders, when the New Year comes, she still has to go home across the ocean.
She changed the subject, "Jianguo and my cousin, are they leaving after the Little New Year?"
"I told you this when I called yesterday. Train tickets were hard to buy, so I ended up buying plane tickets. They're a bit more expensive, but they're faster and I don't have to suffer on the road." Chen Meiyu now has money in her hands, so she speaks with confidence.
"Where are the eldest and second brothers?"
"How can your elder and second brothers leave during the New Year? Your sister-in-law and the others will bring the children back by then."
"Then the ancestral house will be unavailable, right? Then I'll go back to the small western-style building."
Although the ancestral home has a large courtyard, it does not have many rooms. With the elders from three branches living in it, there are only two more rooms. One of the rooms is currently occupied by her and Jin Zichu, so it is just right for the family from the eldest branch to live in.
Chen Meiyu didn't object when she heard this. If her husband hadn't wanted the brothers to live together, she would have thought it would be best to move back.
In addition to cleaning the house, Xu Manman and Jin Zichu were also busy stocking up on New Year's goods.
Her mother and aunt were both old, and what if something went wrong while they were squeezed in the crowd? So this job fell to Xu Manman and the two wives of the second wife.
When buying New Year's goods, Xu Manman once again returned to the craze after the market opened.
The variety of goods has increased a lot, but there are really a lot of people.
The people on the list her mother had drawn up were piled up in front of her, leaving no room for maneuver. Xu Manman frowned and said, "Why don't we just have someone send us home directly?"
She regretted her impulsive action today. It was obvious that the security team at home could do it, but she insisted on dragging Jin Zichu out.
She felt uncomfortable because of the crowding, and she would also feel distressed if she squeezed Jin Zichu.
