The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 10 The Hometown That Can't Go Back
Chen Zhiyong, like Li Minglin, is from Sichuan and Shu, so Chen Xinyi prefers Sichuan cuisine, especially boiled pork slices and mapo tofu.

Sichuan cuisine restaurants are not common here in Hong Kong, and the more famous Sichuan cuisine restaurant is the Yuchuan Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Its signature dishes include Kung Pao chicken, spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, twice-cooked pork and other well-known Sichuan dishes.

The two young people were relatively frugal, and only ordered their favorite boiled pork slices, mapo tofu, and a tomato and egg soup.

I won't repeat the plot of the dog food spread during the meal, today is destined to be a heart-wrenching day for single dogs.

While eating spicy and delicious food, Chen Xinyi couldn't help but talk about that distant place with Li Jianhui.

Regardless of Chen Xinyi or Li Jianhui, although Chen Zhiyong often hears about their hometown, they only know one place name and have no impression of what their hometown is like.

Although Li Jianhui was also from Sichuan and Shu in his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage in Yuzhou City. He didn't know much about Chen Zhiyong and Li Minglin's hometown, Guocheng City, and he didn't know anything about Taiping Township, Guocheng County.

Li Minglin and Chen Zhiyong are both from Taiping Township, except that Li Minglin is from Shibanqiao Village and Chen Zhiyong is from Simaqiao Village.

The two were the same age, and they were forcibly conscripted into the army in the same year. They went to the battlefield and came to Xiangjiang together.

"Brother Jianhui, do you think we have a chance to visit our hometown?"

Li Jianhui naturally knew why Chen Xinyi asked such a question, because of the Xiangjiang media propaganda, and both Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi had some problems with their identities, and they had great concerns about returning to their hometown, worrying that their own safety would not be guaranteed.

Chen Zhiyong left home in 42 years, and it has been 35 years in a flash. His parents are already old, and may even be dead. It is impossible to say that he does not miss him.

It's just that with his current identity, he can't return at all, and there's no way to even contact him.

With the changes in the mainland over the years, he is even more afraid to let his children return. He is worried that his children will fall into the jaws of a tiger.

Li Minglin was also full of obsession with his hometown. Even when he was dying, he asked Chen Zhiyong to take his ashes home. Until now, Li Minglin's ashes have not been buried.

For Chen Zhiyong and Li Minglin, although Xiangjiang is good, it is not their home. Only the small mountain village on the land of Sichuan and Shu is their home.

For three full years, dozens of battles, countless brothers Pao Ze fell before their eyes, and they gave their blood and lives to protect their home.

The survivors like Chen Zhiyong found out that they could not go back to the home they had protected with their lives. How painful and sad they felt.

Li Jianhui couldn't empathize with such feelings. Chen Zhiyong and the others were not bad, at least they still lived on the land of the motherland. Thinking about the expeditionary army, the ending was even more bleak than them.

Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Xinyi, don't worry, in two years, we can go back and see what our hometown looks like, and we can taste authentic Sichuan cuisine."

It is now August 1977, and the great man is estimated to have resumed his duties again. The clockwork of the mainland's economic take-off has been winded, and the horn of reform and opening up is about to sound. At that time, he and Chen Xinyi will be able to enter the mainland freely and visit Great rivers in the mainland.

As for Chen Zhiyong, I'm afraid there won't be many chances in this life. He has been involved too deeply, and he can't get off the ship just because he wants to.

You must know that 14k was not simple at the beginning of its establishment. Chen Zhiyong can be said to have made great contributions in his current position and has been recognized by the forces behind him.

This also made his identity much more sensitive than Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi. At least in a short period of time, it was impossible for him to cross Luohu Port.

"Brother Jianhui, you are more and more bragging now. Haven't you watched the news about that over there in the past few months? I'm afraid the situation over there will not change in a short time."

As a top student, Chen Xinyi still pays close attention to current affairs. Although the Xiangjiang News report is somewhat one-sided, some important information is still true.

At present, the major newspapers in Hong Kong, including the mainland-oriented Ta Kung Pao, have not reported any major changes in the development policy of the mainland.

From her understanding, such a policy will last at least five years, waiting for the next session to see if there is any hope of changing it.

This is not just Chen Xinyi's opinion. Countless elites in Xiangjiang think so, and no one thinks that there will be too much change in the short term.

Only Li Jianhui, who came from later generations, knows how much the mainland will change in the next few years. A magnificent picture is about to unfold, and a market with a population of more than one billion will be opened to the outside world.

Numerous low-end industries in Hong Kong will be transferred to the mainland, and the relationship between the three places will continue to deepen, and it will no longer be difficult for fallen leaves to return to their roots.

"Brother Jianhui never brags in front of you, after two years, when you graduate from Form [-], I will travel to the mainland with you.

Take a look at the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in the capital, look at Baoning, one of the four ancient cities, visit the Jialing River and the Yangtze River in Yuzhou, and see the White Pagoda and Xishan in Guocheng. "

At this moment, Chen Xinyi's heart was full of yearning, and she even felt that this should be a honeymoon trip for herself and Li Jianhui.

She had only seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City on video, but she didn't know if it was true. It was very meaningful to be able to climb the Great Wall and enter the Forbidden City in person, especially when accompanied by Li Jianhui.

Of course, in Chen Xinyi's view, this cannot be achieved in the short term, so I talked about it after dinner, and now it is more practical for Li Jianhui to accompany her to go shopping.

It was rare for Li Jianhui to be able to accompany her for a day today, how could she give up such an opportunity, it didn't matter whether she bought or not, the main thing was that she liked it.

If Central ranks first in Xiangjiang, then Mong Kok definitely ranks second. In terms of pure business, Mong Kok is even better than Central.

On the streets of Mong Kok, a handsome man and a beautiful woman attracted the attention of countless passers-by.

The beautiful girl was in high spirits, but the handsome guy with a lot of items in his hand had an expression of lovelessness.

The beautiful girl would say from time to time: "Brother Jianhui, we will go to Golden Harvest Cinema after we visit this store."

It's a pity that Li Jianhui is immune to these words, because he has said the same thing no less than five times today.

Chen Xinyi not only went shopping, but also gave full play to her talent for shopping. The most important thing is that this girl is not short of money and has enough funds to pay the bill.

Now Li Jianhui has completely become Chen Xinyi's porter, carrying more than a dozen bags in both hands. Although it is not heavy, it is a great test for him.

He has already decided that after this store, he must refuse to continue shopping, and even if he wants to shop, he must at least put the items in his hand back in the car.
