Mrs. Sun's family owns a large villa in Repulse Bay, and she specifically instructed that all the guest rooms in the villa be cleaned up.
The servants in the house were all running around in circles under the direction of the housekeeper, Defu.
With his whole family out on the move, leaving him alone to stay home, Li Huai felt particularly heartbroken.
But that's just the nature of his job, what can he do about it?
Although everyone knows that Hong Kong will return to the embrace of the motherland in a few years, it has still been considered to have left the country.
Zhao Qinglan and her group had to go through some procedures to get through smoothly.
Moreover, Li Huai was also very worried about his wife and children, and he started nagging them every day before he even set off.
"Alright, alright, I know. We're not going through fire and water, we're just going to Auntie's house." Zhao Qinglan said helplessly.
"When I retire, I'll go wherever you want to go," Li Huai said tenderly.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for that day." She smiled.
It's one thing for my own son to always freeload meals and lodgings, but when the other family goes on a trip, especially to the port city, my son insists on coming along.
At first, the Cheng couple did not want their son to go and cause trouble.
Zhao Qinglan said it was fine, taking four children was the same as taking five, so there was no difference.
Helpless, the Cheng couple helped their son with the paperwork and also gave him a lot of money.
Zhao Qinglan and her group were going to Hong Kong. They would first take a train to Beijing, and then fly from Beijing to Hong Kong.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan still went out with her. With these two capable girls by her side, Li Huai's worries were lessened.
After arriving in Beijing by train, they did not immediately take a plane, but stayed in Beijing for two more days.
It just so happened that Mrs. Sun also met her little girl and brother.
When the time came, they boarded a plane bound for the port city.
Both Erwa and Xiaoduo have been on airplanes before, and they didn't feel anything after the plane took off.
It's a different story for others.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, Da Wa felt his mood broaden.
Cheng Tao was still yelling. "Yan Sen, don't you think the Air Force is the coolest?"
Ms. Sun was afraid of heights and felt dizzy whenever she looked outside. Zhao Qinglan sat next to her mother and quickly comforted her, even asking a flight attendant for a glass of water to ease her tension.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan were also flying for the first time. They were quite brave and found the experience very novel.
Perhaps because few people fly these days, Zhao Qinglan found the service to be exceptionally good; they even offered free Moutai liquor on the plane.
However, none of them took advantage of this.
As the initial novelty wore off, everyone settled into a state of rest and sleep.
The cabin quickly fell silent.
The plane wasn't full, and Zhao Qinglan didn't act like a diva; they were all sitting in economy class.
Because there were so many people, the total cost was quite high. It's only thanks to her strong earning power that she was able to take her whole family out for a trip.
But isn't the whole point of her working hard to earn money so she can eat and have fun?
Zhao Qinglan was awakened by the airplane announcement, which reminded passengers that the plane was about to land.
Looking down through the window, I see densely packed houses. We've arrived in the port city. It's going pretty fast.
After they got off the plane, collected their luggage, and walked out, they saw a large sign with her and her mother's names on it at the arrivals area.
Madam Sun arrived early with her entourage to wait. Upon hearing that her sister's flight had landed, she began to peer out from the exit.
"Qinglan, little sister, over here!" Madam Sun called out while waving.
"Aunt."
"Oh, we've been waiting for you all!" Madam Sun said with a broad smile.
Once they were all together, he led them out.
“There are plenty of cars. I specially arranged for a minibus to come over, and we can all fit in.”
Upon seeing her sister, Ms. Sun's anxiety about traveling by plane far from the mainland gradually dissipated, and the two sisters chatted affectionately.
Mrs. Sun came to pick them up at the airport, bringing not only a driver and assistant, but also several bodyguards.
Once they were all on the minibus, there was another car of their own in front of and behind the minibus.
The eldest child and the others sat in the minibus, watching the passing scenery of the port city outside the window.
Erwa and Xiaoduo had been here before and knew some of the people, so Erwa would explain things to them.
Of course, most of the time, it was the assistants brought by Madam Sun who acted as tour guides.
"Let's go home first, put our things down, and take a nice bath to relax," Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
"We will follow your arrangements, Auntie," Zhao Qinglan said with a smile.
They weren't in a hurry, so naturally they listened to their aunt, the local strongman.
The car drove for quite a while, and by the time they finally arrived at the villa in Repulse Bay, everyone was exhausted from sitting there.
After getting out of the car and entering the villa, the children exclaimed in amazement.
When Erwa and Xiaoduo came last time, they didn't stay here, so this is their first time here.
There were many servants who unloaded all their luggage from the car and then led everyone to their rooms.
"Take a good shower first, it's really hot outside. Come over after you've showered and changed, and we'll have dinner."
Madam Sun addressed the crowd.
There are many rooms in the house, but not as many bathrooms.
However, they could take turns using it, so Zhao Qinglan and her daughter used the same bathroom to wash up.
They had sweated a lot on the way here, and only after taking a shower did they feel refreshed.
After changing into clean clothes and drying her hair, Zhao Qinglan went out with her daughter.
If they encounter servants on the street, they will greet them.
When we arrived at the dining room, the large long table was already filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.
Erwa, being a boy, takes a bath very quickly, and is already sitting at the dining table, drooling over all the delicious food on it.
Madam Sun and her sister, Madam Sun, were the last to arrive.
Once everyone had arrived, they officially began their meal.
Madam Sun would occasionally introduce a dish on the table to them.
Everyone enjoyed their first meal in the port city.
Zhao Qinglan noticed that her cousin Yunxiang was still missing and began to inquire about him.
"Don't worry about him, he'll come over when he's done with his work." Madam Sun looked disgusted when she mentioned her son.
Wei Hong had visited Gangcheng a while ago, and Zhao Qinglan later heard from Wei Hong that her cousin had helped her.
She was just thinking of thanking her cousin properly when she saw him.
After the group finished their meal, Madam Sun asked them if they wanted to enjoy the night view of the port city.
The night view of Victoria Harbour is quite nice.
Thinking of the Hong Kong movies she had seen, Zhao Qinglan asked an unexpected question.
"Auntie, is it safe to go out at night in Hong Kong?" She remembered that gangsters were very popular back then.
Madam Sun laughed upon hearing this.
“There are safe places at night, and there are also unsafe places, but you don’t need to worry at all when you go out.”
If she can't even guarantee the safety of her own family members when they go out, then all these years she's spent in Hong Kong have been for nothing.
Zhao Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had her aunt as a strong support.
