Lu Jiaxin went downstairs at 5:30. She didn't see Gu Xiuxiu, so she asked and found out that she was still sleeping. As she got older, she slept less. If she slept too much during the day, she might not be able to sleep at night.

"Why don't you wake up Auntie?"

Aunt Mei explained, "The old lady was a little tired after playing cards today. It's rare for her to sleep so deeply. She will be angry if I wake her up."

Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, "You have to shout even if you are angry. Otherwise, if you sleep too long, you won't be able to fall asleep at night. When you are old, it is even worse for your health if your work and rest schedule is reversed."

At this time, there was a beeping sound outside, and soon Gu Haifan walked in. He heard Gu Xiuxiu say yesterday that Lu Jiaxin would come over, and when he saw her, he called her cousin in a reserved manner.

Su Heyuan said that when Gu Haifan first arrived in Hong Kong, his face was sallow and he was as thin as a stick. He is still thin now, but his face has flesh and his complexion is good.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and nodded: "Aunt is still sleeping, let's go and call her down to eat!"

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Lu Jiaxin explained the reason for doing so. If it was a young person, she would not bother him. Young people recover quickly after staying up all night and are full of energy again the next day. But as they get older, if they don't sleep well at night, they will not be energetic the next day.

After hearing the explanation, Gu Haifan went upstairs with Lu Jiaxin.

“Boom…”

After just one knock, Gu Xiuxiu responded.

Gu Xiuxiu had already gotten up and was combing her hair. She was a little surprised to see the two siblings: "Why are you two siblings here? Where are Aunt Hong and Aunt Mei?"

Lu Jiaxin explained the reason, and then said that she took too much nap and couldn't sleep at night. It was also because Gu Xiuxiu treated her well, so she hoped that her health would recover soon.

Gu Xiuxiu nodded: "You are right. We really can't sleep too long during the day. Have you eaten? If not, hurry downstairs."

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "Aunt, you don't want to eat?"

Gu Xiuxiu said that she had just come back from afternoon tea and was not hungry yet. She would have to eat later. Her digestive system was not as good as before because she was old. She had not digested the food for three hours.

There were four dishes and one soup in the evening, namely braised pork, steamed turbot, homemade dry pot tofu, fried water spinach and braised shark's fin.

Gu Haifan was a little surprised to see the braised pork and dry pot tofu. He had been here for more than three months, and the food was rich but tasted bland. He was not used to the food but never said anything. It was a favor from his aunt to be able to eat so well, so how could he ask for more?

He was young and didn't know how to hide his emotions, so his thoughts were all on his face. After Lu Jiaxin sat down, she picked up a piece of braised pork. Mm, it was good, not worse than the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

Gu Haifan ate two bowls of rice. He finished the braised pork and dry-pot tofu. He didn't touch the steamed turbot, vegetables and soup because he was too full.

When wiping his mouth, seeing Lu Jiaxin seeing him, Gu Haifan said awkwardly, "Cousin, I'm sorry, the food today was so delicious that I couldn't control myself."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I asked Master Huang to make the braised pork and dry pot tofu according to my taste. In the future, just tell Master Huang what you want to eat and ask him to make it according to your taste."

Gu Haifan was startled for a moment, and after a while he asked cautiously, "Cousin, is this okay?"

"Of course you can. If the food doesn't suit your taste, it won't taste good."

Gu Haifan was a little worried and whispered, "But Aunt Hong said that strong flavors are bad for the body. I have to eat light food like my aunt."

Gu Haifan looked at Gu Xiuxiu who was standing in the middle of the stairs and asked, "Aunt, if I want to eat braised pork in the future, can I just ask Master Huang to make it?"

Seeing that he said this with caution, Gu Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel distressed: "Of course. In the future, just let Master Huang cook whatever you want to eat."

Lu Jiaxin added: "Hai Fan, tell Master Huang in advance what you want to eat so that he can prepare the ingredients."

Gu Haifan's eyes sparkled as he said happily, "Thank you, aunt."

It was too hot during the day to go out, but now that the sun has set it is still quite cool outside. Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Haifan said, "You ate too much. Go out for an hour and then come back to do your homework."

Gu Haifan went out happily.

"Jia Xin, accompany me to the back garden for a walk."

When they got outside, Gu Xiuxiu said, "The last time you went back, He Bin said you bought a lot of magazines, including economic newspapers and magazines. Can you understand them?"

“Only a little.”

Gu Xiuxiu said, "I was playing mahjong with some old friends today, and they talked about stocks. Since you like reading financial newspapers and magazines, what will the stock market outlook be like?"

Lu Jiaxin thought it was hard to say: "Aunt, stocks go up and down. Big rises and big falls are all related to the situation or policies. You are old and can't stand the stimulation. It's best not to buy stocks."

Gu Xiuxiu shook her head. "There was a big rise a few years ago. I bought more than three million worth of stocks. Two months later, the price rose to more than five million. I couldn't bear to sell them. In the end, the company went bankrupt and I lost all my money."

After that, she didn't dare to buy stocks anymore. Even if everyone said the stock market was good and profitable, she would never be tempted even if she had extra money.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Aunt, how much spare money do you have?"

Gu Xiuxiu didn't shy away from her and said, "More than 6.8 million is the rent from last year and the dividends from the He Group. The interest rate for this money in the bank is not high. I used to buy properties with my extra money, but the real estate market has been sluggish in the past two years and I dare not buy a property."

Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, as a special zone open to the outside world, Yangcheng will definitely attract many businessmen to invest. No matter what business they do, as long as they export, they have to go through the port city. Aunt, with so many people, do you think the housing prices will rise or fall?"

Gu Xiuxiu understood: "You mean the housing prices will go up soon?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Hong Kong City has a small amount of land and a large population, so housing prices will definitely go up. You will definitely not lose money if you buy a house. But don't put all your eggs in one basket, you can still buy some stocks appropriately. Well, if you are worried about losing money, then buy some high-quality stocks and hold them for a long time."

"Which stocks do you think are suitable for long-term holding?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "If you want to hold it for a long time, then it is definitely safer to hold stocks of large companies. Stocks of the four major families such as Cheung Kong Industries and Sun Hung Kai Properties are good. By the way, HSBC is not bad either."

Gu Xiuxiu just asked him tentatively, but she didn't expect him to speak so clearly. Now she was sure that this girl could really understand financial magazines. A sixteen-year-old girl who was not from a wealthy family and had no one to teach her knew so much. She felt that she still underestimated Jia Xin.
