Chapter 1048 (Page 1/2)
Seeing that Lin Man seemed to have little interest in the Qiao family's affairs, Huo Li tactfully stopped asking further questions.
However, his curiosity did not subside. Instead, he suddenly became very interested in Hong Kong City, so he asked, "Xiao Man, I've always heard that Hong Kong City is a very developed place. Can you tell me what it's like there?"
Hearing this, Lin Man smiled slightly, then stood up and took out a large stack of photos from her bag.
Most of these photos were taken by herself during her stay in Hong Kong, and a small part was taken with the help of others.
She had developed the photos before leaving Hong Kong City.
Huo Li took the stack of photos and couldn't wait to start looking through them carefully one by one.
As his gaze continued to move, his eyes widened and an expression of amazement appeared on his face.
"Wow, this street is packed with tall buildings!" Huo Li said in disbelief, pointing to one of the photos. "How can these buildings be so tall? How can people get up there?"
At this time, Huo Yian, who was standing by, was also attracted and came forward curiously, shouting, "Grandpa, I want to see it too!"
Huo Li quickly handed the photo to Huo Yian. The little guy took it excitedly and was also shocked by the scene in the photo.
"Mom, is this Hong Kong City?" Huo Yian looked at the towering buildings and colorful neon lights in the photo and couldn't help but sigh, "These houses are too crowded, and so high. If I climb the stairs, I will definitely be exhausted!"
Seeing this, Lin Man smiled and explained, "Baby, there's actually something called a lift, which is what people in Hong Kong often call an elevator. It can take you directly to any floor."
Huo Yi, who was rummaging through snacks, became interested when he heard about the elevator. "Mom, what does an elevator look like? How does it take people to different floors?"

"They build a house and leave an empty well. They install a set of electric pulleys underneath the well, and then they use them to raise and lower a large metal box."
"Then how does it stay on every floor?"
"The height of each floor is fixed, and there's a sensor inside the elevator..."
Huo Yiwen interrupted: "Mom, what is a sensor?"
"Smell it. We'll talk about how elevators work next time. Let's look at the pictures first."
"Mom, you don't know what a sensor is or how it works, do you?"
Huo Yian nudged Huo Yiwen and said, "Okay, Wenwen, if you want to know how an elevator works, you can ask the teacher next time. The teacher should know what a sensor is."
Huo Yiwen nodded. "Well, I was thinking that since the houses in Gangcheng have elevators, people don't have to climb stairs. So, can we also live in such houses in the future?"
Lin Man smiled and said, "I bought a house in Gangcheng. After you get your visa, you can go to Gangcheng with your mother to have a look."
Huo Li was shocked when he heard that Lin Man had bought a house in Gangcheng. "Xiao Man, you really bought a house in Gangcheng."
Lin Man replied truthfully: "Yes, Grandpa, last time I sold the jade to the Wei family, Wei Chaozheng wrote me a check.
I went to Hong Kong City to exchange it and bought a house there so that my children would have a place to live if they go to Hong Kong City to develop their careers.”
Huo Li asked again: "Does Qingci know about this?"
"Yes, I told him about it."
Huo Li sighed and said, "Qingci shouldn't go to Hong Kong City casually now."
