After a group of people visited TVB's set, they all gained something and said it was worth it to satisfy their curiosity.
In the next two days, the members of the exchange group participated in exhibitions, book-selling activities, etc. held in Xiangjiang, and finally went to the Stock Exchange in Xiangjiang.
Many people heard about securities trading for the first time and did not understand what securities were. When they understood it, they only had envy in their eyes.
On the last day, there is half a day for free activities.
Everyone will fly back to Yanjing in the evening, and the money in hand will be meaningless if it is not spent. As a result, the members of the group stopped asking questions and seemed to become more generous.
Everyone clamored to go to the best supermarket in Xiangjiang to buy the most expensive things.
As a result, when the group followed William Chen to the supermarket and saw clothes worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars each, their faces turned pale and they no longer dared to look at those expensive luxury goods.
Jiang Yulou ignored them, holding his girlfriend's hand and walking around the major stores. Don't worry about whether you can afford it or not, it doesn't cost any money, right?
Of course, since he is here, he will not return empty-handed. Luxury goods are unaffordable, and ordinary brands are not expensive. Ever since, he started shopping in the mall.
I bought dresses, suits, jeans, leather shoes, high heels and sneakers all.
Especially jeans, he bought the most, almost a dozen pairs. If it weren't for Tang Yuewen's help, he really wouldn't be able to take these away by himself.
Jeans are so rare and expensive in the mainland that there is a group of people in Shenzhen who specialize in buying second-hand jeans from Hong Kong. For example, if you get one piece for fifteen yuan, it can be resold several times.
Finally, when it was time to gather, the old comrades didn’t buy much, not because they were reluctant, but because they really didn’t have the money. But when we were gathering, looking at his big and small bags, I felt really sad.
We walked around until noon, and after everyone had lunch, we returned to the hotel.
"Well, I'm getting old. I'm exhausted after walking a few steps. Now I have to catch up on some sleep, otherwise I won't be energetic enough to get on the plane."
"I can't do it anymore. I'm exhausted after just walking a few streets."
"I'm not tired, but it's more uncomfortable to see that I can't afford good things."
As a result, everyone took advantage of the last opportunity to take a break, or pack their belongings to prepare for departure.
After Jiang Yulou and Tang Yuewen returned to the room, they began to distribute items.
"You can wear this dress yourself, this one is for auntie, and this suit and leather shoes are for uncle..."
In addition to these, he dug out a few pairs of women's jeans and a pair of women's sneakers. "Jeans are durable and can be matched with a jacket. They are fashionable and not outdated at all. When you go shopping with your sisters, If you don’t want to wear a dress, you can wear this set I prepared for you.”
While sorting out the clothes he bought, Jiang Yulou said to himself: "I just looked at the clothes in the mall, and they are indeed more colorful and diverse than those in the mainland, and there are even brands from local designers.
Speaking of which, in the 1960s, the most popular style in Hong Kong was the British style of the sovereign country. Men's clothes are all thin lapels and close-fitting; women's clothes are imitation suit-style gowns and A-line skirts.
In the 1970s, Hong Kong held a fashion festival, and it was this fashion festival that made Hong Kong pay more attention to clothing and clothing design. As local clothing began to appear, coupled with the rise of film and television dramas, local design was also greatly promoted.
By the 1980s, Xiangjiang's garment industry had become relatively mature and began to learn from foreign countries to build local brands.
There are many benefits to doing this. It may take some detours at first, but once the road is clear, it will be a broad road.
At this time, in China, the level is probably equivalent to that of the 1960s and 1970s. We worship foreign goods and blindly follow the trend of foreign products. No matter which country they are from, as long as they are introduced to the country, they all like them very much.
The concepts of clothing and fashion design were very weak, and clothing was even called the textile industry at this time.
In the blink of an eye, the trip to Xiangjiang is coming to an end.
I definitely gained something from this literary exchange meeting, but not as much as I imagined. As for the reason, everyone here knows it well. In fact, being invited to Xiangjiang is already a success in itself.
Moreover, publishing houses and newspaper groups in Hong Kong are also interested in reaching some cooperation with the Writers Association and individual writers. In this case, they did not dare to ask for more.
What's more, playing in vain for several days was something I couldn't even think about before.
Before leaving the hotel, the people in the exchange group were still a little reluctant to leave. Wang Meng even put on the suit that he was reluctant to wear, stood in front of the hotel door, and asked people to take photos for him.
Seeing this, others also learned the same thing.
Jiang Yulou thought for a while, grabbed Tang Yuewen's person, and the two took a few group photos together, killing a lot of films.
"Let's go."
After taking a final look at the hotel where they had stayed for many days, Feng Xianzhi, the leader of the exchange group, gave the order to get on the bus.
On the return flight, everyone's reluctance to leave the company subsided and they began to excitedly share their achievements over the past few days.
Feng Xianzhi and Wang Meng gathered together and whispered, not knowing what they were discussing.
Jiang Yulou and Tang Yuewen sat together, their relationship became deeper and deeper, and they felt like they were inseparable.
Tang Yuewen leaned against Jiang Yulou and whispered: "These days in Xiangjiang are really like a dream."
"Do you like it?" Jiang Yulou lowered his head and said softly.
Tang Yuewen thought for a while and nodded seriously: "I like it, why don't I like it? Xiangjiang is economically developed and free, and I feel that the people living here are very happy."
"What if you were allowed to live in Xiangjiang?"
"This..." This time Tang Yuewen hesitated for a long time before replying: "No."
"Why not? Didn't you say you like Xiangjiang?"
"I don't want to make any big talk. It's just that my parents are in Yanjing, and you are also in Yanjing. I don't want to live in Xiangjiang alone, even if it means good clothes and good food."
Jiang Yulou felt warm in his heart. Somehow, he suddenly had the urge to ask for more, "Yue Wen, we have to believe in the motherland. It won't take long for it to get better and better. One day, it will make the motherland better and better." The whole world is impressed. Even Xiangjiang cannot compare with our Yanjing and Magic City."
"I know." Tang Yuewen smiled, "Is there anything better than being with your family and the people you like?"
Yes, there won't be any more.
In the evening, the plane arrived in Yanjing.
At the airport, everyone dispersed on the spot. Jiang Yulou first sent Tang Yuewen home, and then returned to his home in Jinyu Hutong.
Although he had only been away from home for a week, Jiang Yulou felt extremely homesick.
Just as he was about to take out the key and open the door, the door opened from the inside.
"Jade Tower?!"
A surprised voice came from inside the door.
"mom?"
It was Jiang Yulou's mother, Li Xiulian, who opened the door.
