As one of the Four Asian Tigers, Hong Kong also had the most brand-name counters in 1998.
Sun Lifang woke up at seven o'clock, had breakfast with her husband, and then went back to the room to wake up her daughter.
Children need a lot of sleep.
Zhou Xinya squinted her sleepy eyes and climbed out of the big bed, still a little sleepy.
She sat down with the clothes she needed to change into and dozed off again.
So Sun Lifang started discussing it with her daughter: "Should we go out in the morning or at night?"
Noon is absolutely out of the question.
It was too sunny in the port city at noon, so she needed to go back to the hotel to rest.
Zhou Xinya rubbed her eyes; she didn't want to talk since she had just woken up.
Seeing this, Sun Lifang spoke up for her, saying, "If you go out in the morning, then you can do your homework in the evening."
"On the other hand, you can sleep for another 2 hours and then get up to do your homework and exercise."
In any case, there's no escaping homework.
This is a serious topic, and Zhou Xinya decisively chose to leave in the morning, postponing the "pain of doing homework" until the evening.
In addition, she hasn't stretched her legs for two days, so opening her hips tonight will definitely feel incredibly sore.
If we're going to suffer, let's suffer together!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xinya suddenly came to her senses.
The next steps were swift and efficient; once everything was in order, the hotel's welcoming staff came and knocked on the door.
Yes, they went out in the hotel car today.
Zhou Yunshi knew his wife was terrible with directions, and besides, it was inconvenient to take a taxi outside.
The Victoria Hotel has a fleet of private chauffeured drivers, and he hired one specifically to pick up the mother and daughter when they went out.
This improves the convenience of travel.
Sun Lifang sat in the back with her daughter in her hand. After announcing the name of the shopping mall, she began to list the items she wanted to buy.
First, we need to buy Zhou Yunshi a new outfit, and then give him a watch as a birthday gift.
Secondly, she planned to buy three bags, keeping one for herself and giving the rest to Mrs. Tong and Yoshiko Takeuchi.
Mrs. Tong would send her the latest wholesale clothes from the clothing market every day, calling it "sample making".
Even if she's pregnant and can't wear them now, Mrs. Tong will save them for her to wear after giving birth.
Since they are so hospitable, as friends, we should reciprocate.
Sun Lifang actually enjoys the feeling of exchanging gifts with her best friend.
She noticed that he would prepare a gift for her every time they met.
Besides clothes, there were also food, drinks, and toys for children, all of which were among the items Mrs. Tong shared.
This naturally increased the anticipation of meeting.
Their relationship grew stronger.
In addition, there is Yoshiko Takeuchi—
She works in magazine advertising, and the brands that send her products, after selecting them, will send them to her.
Most of her items are jewelry or external accessories, ranging from Akoya seawater pearl necklaces to comfortable maternity wear and flat shoes from the island nation; she can handle them all.
In this way, Sun Lifang felt that she had truly become a "sister-dependent" person, clinging to her sister's golden thigh and reaching the pinnacle of life.
So today, she's going to buy two designer handbags to send back.
Upon arriving at the mall, Sun Lifang first headed straight for the men's clothing store, but after circling around, she realized it wouldn't work.
The sales assistant told her, "All the suits here are handmade. Who are you giving them to?"
Having made a careless mistake, Sun Lifang settled for choosing a tie for Zhou Yunshi.
Choosing a tie is easy.
Based on Zhou Yunshi's usual suit color scheme, I took three pairs, and finally, following advice, I bought a pair of decorative cufflinks to complete the set.
In short, the intention was there.
Furthermore—
When Sun Lifang was about to buy a handbag, she saw Zhou Xinya looking pitiful.
"Mom, I can't walk anymore."
Oh dear, I completely forgot about that.
Taking my daughter shopping is like taking my best friend; I've created a whole new circle of best friends for myself.
Sun Lifang raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"
She saw right through her daughter's thoughts.
Zhou Xinya's eyes had already wandered to the side. "Mom, I want to buy ice cream. Do you want some?"
"I want the pure milk flavor."
Sun Lifang took out a ten-yuan note from her handbag and gave it to her, watching her daughter run fast in her sandals.
There are dessert shops in the mall, and you can smell the sweet aroma of popcorn from afar.
To be honest, Sun Lifang hasn't had ice cream in a long time.
If we count from the previous life, it must have been several decades.
Putting aside her belief that "hard work and frugality" and that hedonism is a sin, her avoidance of snacks and desserts may also be due to health factors.
Starting in her thirties, her physical strength declined significantly. She was in poor health, and whenever she ate something cold, she would get a toothache that felt like it was piercing her brain.
Gradually, I lost the desire to eat ice cream.
Now that you're in great health, why not eat?
Why pretend to be serious?
Sun Lifang rubbed her belly and watched as the little girl, with a smile on her face, ran towards her holding two ice cream cones.
The mother and daughter, enjoying the cool air conditioning in the mall, leaned against a bench and shared a milk-flavored crispy cone and a strawberry-flavored one.
Zhou Xinya was halfway through her meal when she wanted to exchange flavors with her mother.
There was only a little bit left. Seeing her daughter finish eating and prepare to run away, Sun Lifang called her back, "Wipe your mouth, do you want to look in the mirror?"
My daughter has no sense of being a young girl, and she's not ladylike at all.
Zhou Xinya was supposed to wipe it herself, but the little girl ran over and pouted—
This means she wants her mother to wipe her.
To foster a closer mother-daughter bond, Sun Lifang smiled and wiped her mouth, then pinched her nose.
