In 1997, the children in several alleys entered elementary and middle schools one after another. Suddenly, the alley became much quieter except in the morning and evening. Grandpa Cao and Grandma Cao would occasionally deal with company matters. The rest of the time, the old men and women in the alley would get together to go to the nearby park to play chess and exercise.
In recent years, children from all families have worked hard and the economy of the country has developed rapidly. As long as people are diligent, the lives of every household are much better than before. Those who do business are even better, as they have caught the trend of economic boom. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as one is in business and is not the kind of person who fishes for three days and rests for two days, he or she will earn many times more than those who work normally.
After several years of hard work, Cao Jingheng was promoted to another level. Because of the nature of the work of him, his uncle, his brother and his uncle, the Cao family, the Qin family and Peng Zhe have all become much more low-key in the business world, and many of the projects they undertake are for fame rather than money.
Shen Anning is also very busy at work. In recent years, the research department of the Chinese Medicine Hospital has reproduced several convenient Chinese medicine pills based on ancient prescription experiments, and some acupuncture techniques have also been included in clinical trials, with very good results.
It was early June, and the weather wasn't that hot yet. The children didn't have summer vacation, and because the next day was a day off, Shen Anning got off work around five in the evening. When she got home, she saw a man packing his luggage.
"Huh? Why are you packing? Are you going on a business trip?"
Cao Jingheng put down what he was holding, turned around and hugged Shen Anning, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already drawn up a formal plan. It has been confirmed that July 1st will be the day for the official transfer of power between China and Britain. I have been assigned a task, and this time I will also go there to take over the training of the police in Hong Kong."
Shen Anning nodded. There should still be quite a few British policemen in Hong Kong, and the underworld forces there are also quite chaotic. Not to mention now, even in a dozen years, the gang problem in Hong Kong will always be a big trouble.
"Yeah, okay. Are we leaving with the State Council delegation? When do we leave?"
"We're on a flight tomorrow morning, but we won't be landing directly in Hong Kong. We'll probably go to Shenzhen first. We've deployed a lot of navy ships and warships this time. It's been dragged on for so many years, with so many negotiations. Although the agreement has been signed, we still need to think things through."
There should be no danger. With so many armed soldiers on standby, we are afraid that some people with extreme ideas or interests at stake will cause trouble and prevent this normal handover. This is what the people of the whole country are waiting for. If this task cannot be completed on time, it will be a major incident.
Shen Anning knew that there must be a lot of things to deal with in the meantime, so she gently pushed the man and said, "You're going on a business trip tomorrow, and you'll probably have to wait until everything is finished before you come back. It will take at least a month, right?"
As a doctor, Shen Anning certainly had no way of asking for leave to witness this history. At most, he could just watch the TV news. Although it was a little regrettable, there was nothing he could do about it.
This time they were apart for a long time, and Cao Jingheng was reluctant to leave his wife. The children didn't matter to him, but the key point was that not only did he have to work hard this time, but he also didn't have his wife by his side when he slept at night. Who could understand this kind of pain?!
After being in love and married for so many years, they already have three children and are both approaching 50. Looking at the man's pitiful expression, Shen An Ning was still a little speechless.
"Okay, it's just one month. I'll call you before going to bed every day, okay? This is a mission. You can't be so sentimental, do you understand?" Shen An Ning said this righteously. Although she said this, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. Over the years, Cao Jingheng has been doing everything to keep fit. Although he is already in his forties, he has maintained a very good figure. Coupled with his habit of standing straight, people who are not familiar with him would think he is in his thirties.
Having such a devoted husband is also a sweet burden from another perspective. As long as it wasn't for those few days, Cao Jingheng would generally not let Shen Anning idle. If she was scolded or bitten, she would just rest for two or three days at most, and then continue. If it took a long time, how could her small body bear it!
At dinner time, Cao Siheng, knowing that his father was going to Hong Kong in advance and would be entering junior high school after the summer vacation, had his eyes shining. "Dad, my summer vacation is coming soon. Can I come to see you during the summer vacation? I will definitely not cause any trouble for you. Just take me out for a walk when you have time."
Since he was a child, he only went to Guangdong Province once with his second cousin during the summer vacation last year. At that time, there was serious infighting among gangs in Hong Kong. Even though there was such a long sea between them, they could hear every day about new fights happening somewhere on the island and how many people had died. Cao Siheng's biggest regret was that he had never seen what the difference was between Hong Kong, which was governed by capitalism, and the mainland of China. Over the years, many popular things in the mainland were brought from Hong Kong, covering almost every aspect of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Dad doesn't know what the situation is over there right now, so it's a bit risky to take you there. How about this? During the summer vacation, you can go to Shenzhen with Brother Ziyi and Zixuan. If there's a good opportunity, I'll take you to visit Hong Kong."
Hearing his father say this, Cao Siheng knew that this was almost certain, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face and the upturned corners of his mouth.
Late at night belongs to lovers who are about to part.
The air conditioner in the room was turned up to 22 degrees, but it couldn't calm the middle-aged couple who were immersed in lust. Shen Anning was even more wet all over, and her hair was completely spread out and covered the pillow.
