During the meal, everyone had a good chat, learning about the changes and differences between the Hong Kong city and the mainland. At the end of the meal, everyone felt a little emotional.
"With such a short distance, I don't know how many people have been blocked." The boss sighed, "I wonder if I can bring my father back to his roots in my lifetime? Can I still bring Ali to find her relatives?"
Everyone was silent, no one knew what would happen in the future.
Su Qingyun took a sip of the sour plum soup and answered in her heart, yes, there will be a day, she just needs to wait and wait patiently.
When checking out, the boss happily wiped off the change. After thanking him, the eight members of the representative team walked out of the hotel and stood on the street, hesitating.
Chen Ru looked at Yu Qi, "Team leader, are we going back like this?" He didn't know if he would ever have the chance to come to Hong Kong City. It would be a pity to just go back to the hotel to sleep for such a rare opportunity.
"What else do you want?" Yu Qi asked deliberately, unable to see his little thoughts.
Chen Ru chuckled, "It's still early now, how about we take a walk around?"
Yu Qi looked at the others and looked ready to make a move. He didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, so he said, "Okay, let's take a walk and take a look. It's not a waste of time to come to Hong Kong City."
"Team leader is great!"
"Let's go, let's hurry up."
After all, they are a group of young people in their twenties, with unstable temperaments and fun-loving and lively temperaments. When Yu Qi agreed, he immediately cheered.
Yu Qi could only smile helplessly. He now felt like he was leading a group of children out. He glanced at Su Qingyun, who didn't speak but had a smile on his face, and sighed. There was not a little girl with a calm temper among the group of young men. .
They simply walked straight along the road to the hotel.
The harbor city at night was still brightly lit, and there were not many people on the street. The men and women coming and going were exquisitely dressed, which made them stare straight at them. The bold attire of many bright and unrestrained girls made this group even more so. The young man blushed with embarrassment.
Su Qingyun was also looking at the night scene of Hong Kong City in the 1970s, with its colorful lights and flashing neon signs.
They are located in the Hong Kong city of Kowloon. A little further on, there is the bustling Mong Kok Night Market, which is crowded with people. In this era, this is the area with the highest population density in the world, with an average of 130,000 people per square kilometer. The signboard is even more dazzling and full of fireworks.
Everyone marveled at the prosperous scene here, which has the most traditional culture and the most trendy fashion. Here, the Chinese and Western blends, unique and beautiful.
There were many stalls in the night market. Su Qingyun saw a stall selling bead strings. The stall owner was an old woman. She was slowly wearing beads under the warm yellow light. Su Qingyun stopped.
"Little sister, do you like one of them? Give it a try?" The old lady looked at her with kind eyes, "These are natural beads. They are good for keeping safe and attracting wealth and marriage."
Su Qingyun looked at it, picked up the string of beads that the old lady said was safe, and asked, "How many kinds are there?"
"There are so many." The old lady counted, "There are more than a dozen of them."
Su Qingyun nodded, "I want them all."
The old lady was a little surprised, "All of them?"
"Yeah." Su Qingyun thought for a moment and took another one from the stall, "I want that one too."
"Okay!" After placing a big order, the old lady smiled happily and found a small cloth bag to put all the beads Su Qingyun wanted.
"Thank you." Su Qingyun took the bag and gave her the money.
The other team members standing behind her waiting for her looked at the money she gave out and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Is it so expensive? It was more expensive than the meal they just had. Wasn't Qingyun too generous?
Yu Qi knew that Su Qingyun had won a lot of prizes in previous invention competitions, so he didn't think that the little girl was spending money lavishly. Besides, it was normal for a little girl to buy some nice beads. If he had Qingyun For such a daughter, he would be willing to buy her anything.
Yu Qi noticed that Su Qingyun bought some safety products. She must have brought them to her family. What a sensible child, but...
Wait, how come the last one this girl got is for marriage? ! How old is she! Yu Qi instantly felt worried for Su Qingyun's father.
Until they were far away, Yu Qi looked at Su Qingyun and still hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Team leader Yu." Su Qingyun asked strangely.
"Qingyun, do you have a partner?" Yu Qi asked tentatively.
Su Qingyun paused, "No."
"Then your string of beads is..."
Su Qingyun was stunned and said: "It's for my third brother. The third brother doesn't have a partner yet, so the second aunt is worried and will take it back to find a match for him."
"So that's it." Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why he was so nervous, he might still feel that Su Qingyun was too young and he was afraid that she would be hurt.
Su Qingyun pursed her lips and said nothing. She moved her hand in her pocket and rubbed a round object with her fingertips. It was a bracelet made of red beans, which she wanted to bring to... Ji Yue.
After passing through the lively night market, everyone continued to walk forward. When they came to a tall and elegant building, everyone stopped in unison.
This is a government office building in Kowloon. It is already evening, but there are still many windows with lights on, and people can be vaguely seen walking by. What makes them stop is not this majestic building, but the flying lights outside the building. The flag is a Hong Kong-British-Beijing flag fluttering in the wind.
The red and blue Union Jack flag was obviously not bright and saturated, but at this moment, it was like a needle that pierced into all of their eyes, and then penetrated downwards, reaching the heart, causing a dull pain. The feeling comes.
"This flag has been flying for more than a hundred years." Someone murmured softly, "When will it be replaced with that bright red flag?"
No one answered, everyone was silent, because no one knew the answer, and the only person who knew the answer was also silent, because that day still has to wait for twenty years, twenty years, for everyone who is waiting, It's all too long.
Even though more than a hundred years have passed, and even though they are already members of the new society, that kind of humiliation seems to be engraved in the bones of every Chinese person, passed down by blood. This kind of humiliation, this kind of pain, can only be seen on that bright face. The red flag will only stop and be wiped out when it rises in this port city.
"Let's go." Yu Qi sighed, and the others continued to move forward in silence.
Everyone felt heavy, and they didn't know how long they walked forward until several people were stopped by a patrol team of the Hong Kong City Police.
