Chapter 455 Tsim Sha Tsui East
When Ah-fu's parents came over, Ah-fu was still young, so they didn't bring her with them. After not seeing them for several years, Ah-fu's impression of her parents had long been vague.
But it is natural for a child to be attached to her parents. She stood at the intersection, constantly looking out and twisting her hands from time to time, looking very nervous.
When it was completely dark, the family finally came back.
The family also went to the vegetable market, carrying vegetables in their hands. It was dark, and they lowered their heads to look at the road carefully, but they didn't find anyone in front of their house.
Ah Fu's mother said to his father: "When we get paid this month, we will have enough money and we will buy a small apartment. The monthly mortgage payment will only be over 100 yuan."
Ah Fu's father nodded: "Okay, let's go next month."
If they find jobs like them, and a family of four all work in a factory, they can actually rent a house to live in, and don't have to squeeze into the shantytown.
But renting a house is not cheap at this time, and the family is reluctant to pay the rent.
After all, compared to the current situation in the country, life here is quite easy even if you live in a shanty town.
You can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Whenever you want to eat meat, you can go buy it. The weather in Hong Kong is always warm. Even at the coldest time, it is still around 10 degrees Celsius. It is not freezing at all. Living in a shanty town does not have much impact on you.
We have all been through hardships, there is no such thing as being unable to endure hardships. So just make do with what you have, be frugal, save enough money early, and then the house you buy will be your own.
Ah Fu just stood there, staring blankly at her relatives. It was dark, and there were no street lights in this shantytown. Her father almost hit her.
When he bumped into someone unexpectedly, his father was startled: "You poor boy, why are you not going home after dark? What are you doing here?"
Ah Fu opened his mouth and cried out in grievance: "Dad, it's me, I am Ah Fu!"
"Afu?!" The couple was startled and quickly bent down to take a close look at her appearance.
"It's really my Ah Fu!"
"Ah Fu, why are you here? Where is your grandma?"
After the people were sent there, Xia Zhizhi did not want to disturb the family reunion, and she and Ah Ju left quietly.
If she stayed, the family would just ask her all sorts of questions, and she didn't expect them to give her any reward, so she was too lazy to deal with them.
In this shantytown, you have to go to the main road outside to see street lights. Although it is getting dark, you can hear the hustle and bustle of people in the distance, neon lights flashing, and cars and people on the road. It is very lively, and the nightlife has not even started yet.
The total land area of Honggang is only 1,100 square kilometers, not the urban area, but the entire territory.
Hung Hom Island is only 81 square kilometers (for example, an area that is 10 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide), and Kowloon Peninsula is only 47 square kilometers. These two places are considered the main urban areas.
The New Territories and other 262 outlying islands cover an area of approximately 900 square kilometers. The New Territories are mostly mountainous and rural, and most of the factories are located there. It is not that there are no people living there, but overall there are not that many people living there.
Ah Ju quickly scanned this small area.
Xia Zhizhi marveled at the tall buildings in front of her. That is to say, an area of less than 150 square kilometers was crammed with three to four million people. This density was comparable to that of a pig farm.
She finally found an empty corner, took Ah Ju inside, and began to dress herself up.
Hot pants and platform shoes are popular at the moment, and suspenders and the like are also not uncommon. Occasionally, you can see some girls wearing navel-baring clothes, but most office workers still wear suits and shirts.
Xia Zhizhi had been feeling depressed for so long, but now that she was free from all restraints, she let herself go and dressed herself up as she pleased.
She let Ah Ju curl her hair into big waves, put on high-heeled shoes, put on a black short-sleeved dress, and looked in front of the mirror and began to put on makeup carefully.
She faced the mirror, smoothed the lipstick with her fingers, and rubbed the excess lipstick on her face as blush. Then she admired herself beautifully and asked Ah Ju, "Does it look good?"
Ah Ju would definitely say it looks good.
Of course she is pretty, but her curly hair makes her look mature, and with makeup, high heels and a dress, she doesn't look like a teenage girl, but more like twenty-three or twenty-four.
Xia Zhizhi looked through her collection again. She took out a necklace with a large sapphire and matching earrings and put them on. She also waved two diamond bracelets, one thick and one thin, back and forth on her hands, hesitating which one to wear.
He kept muttering, "Which one do you think looks better, the thick one or the thin one?"
"They both look good." Ah Ju suggested to her: "How about wearing the thick one today and the thin one tomorrow, and switching between them?"
Xia Zhizhi pouted and hesitated for a moment: "But I want to wear both today."
If conditions were not so limited, she would have wished she had three heads and eight arms so she could hang all her collections on them.
She was not one to let herself down, so she immediately tied both bracelets on one arm, calling it "overlapping."
Ah Ju continued to praise her with his eyes closed: "It looks even better this way, unique and creative."
After Xia Zhizhi was dressed, Ah Ju also changed back into her favorite Xia Zhishi look, and put on a set of Nima's custom-made suit that Xia Zhizhi had bought for free and collected for her entire life.
At this moment on the street, most of the decent men are wearing suits, and the girls are wearing shorts, but they are still wearing suits. I don’t know if it’s hot or not.
Fortunately, Aju is a robot and is immune to cold or heat, so it’s enough as long as she looks good.
Girls and boys with girlfriends all know that putting on makeup, curling hair, and picking clothes is very time-consuming. By the time Xia Zhizhi finished dawdling, it was almost nine o'clock.
For most people, when they sneak into the country, the first thing they do is to apply for an ID card.
Xia Zhizhi is not going. Because of her special status, it is better not to keep a record of her.
When she walks on the street nowadays, she will occasionally be stopped by the police to check her ID card, but the way she is dressed, one can tell at a glance that she is either rich or noble. Under normal circumstances, the police would not come to check her.
But even if they come to investigate, it's okay. Xia Zhizhi won't fight a battle she's not prepared for, and A Ju has already prepared fake evidence.
The identity cards used in Hong Kong now have different colors for men and women. Women's are red, men's are blue, and officials' are yellow.
It's just a fake certificate, no problem.
After packing up, Xia Zhizhi carried a small bag with a pearl chain and took Ah Ju out of the space, not forgetting to tell him: "Remember to call me Miss later."
Ah Ju worked tirelessly to pick up the dirt, while Xia Zhizhi waited by the side with her arms folded.
She is currently in the shantytown near Lion Rock in Kowloon. This place is full of shantytowns and there is nothing to look forward to. It is a complete mess and there is nothing fun to do.
The most prosperous areas are the southern part of Kowloon, which is Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, and the northern part of Hong Kong Island, which is the area surrounding Victoria Harbour.
