I am many years in the courtyard
Chapter 453: Never forget the well digger
December 1970, 31, a dark night.
The fire tree and the silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.
There was only a loud bang, and brilliant fireworks suddenly appeared in the night sky over Victoria Harbor.
Fireworks blooming like mushrooms or flowers in bud, exploded in the dark night sky, and beautiful patterns were reflected in the eyes of the audience, fleeting.
Cheers followed, and exclamations were also mixed in.
"Good guy, does the Governor really mean what he says? How much do such beautiful fireworks cost?"
"God, this is the most beautiful fireworks show I have ever seen in my life, bar none."
"Totally incredible, so beautiful!"
"Mom, look at the fireworks, they are so beautiful!"
"Hong Kong Island has changed too much. So many people are crowded here to watch the fireworks. I heard that all the police in Hong Kong have been mobilized?"
"The Flying Tigers are all on duty, hiss, even the Governor is watching the fireworks on the shore."
Although the fireworks show is somewhat laborious and wastes money, it should be said that the fireworks are really beautiful.
At No. 43 Barker Road, many years after the family had dinner, they went to the entertainment room on the fifth floor to enjoy the fireworks together.
There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls, offering a panoramic view of the entire Victoria Harbour.
Although there are many people, the fireworks can be seen by everyone on one floor.
Lou Bancheng also came. He originally wanted to talk to Duan Nian about investment.
But the latter kept holding Xu Yi, and the little ones ran to find their father from time to time.
As a result, Lou Bancheng couldn't talk to Duan Nian for a long time, so he had to give up.
The fireworks outside are particularly beautiful. This must be the first time that such beautiful fireworks bloom in the night sky of Hong Kong Island.
And it is very intensive, lasting more than half an hour.
The HKD 500 million fireworks really didn’t lie.
"Dad, is it a waste of money to set off so many fireworks at the Governor's Mansion?"
Hot Wheels suddenly came over because he and his brother were arguing about this issue just now.
The suggestion held by the little one is that it will not waste money because it attracts many tourists to visit.
But Brother Jing and Fenghuolun, the two younger ones, held opposing opinions.
Qin Huairu and Xiaomei all looked at it with smiles and did not express any opinions.
"You three brothers are not wrong, but we should not look at the problem so superficially and understand the situation from multiple aspects."
Years of holding the child in his arms, laughing and explaining his point of view.
"The reason why you two brothers think that setting off fireworks, especially so many fireworks, is a huge waste."
"That's because you measure it based on the most basic level. With HK$500 million, it's better to just give out red envelopes. It's beneficial to everyone, right?"
The two children nodded immediately, and the little one bit his lip and thought.
Lou Bancheng was also thinking about this issue, but he also had many doubts.
"Ignoring why the Governor's Mansion sets off fireworks, let's just ask, are these fireworks good-looking?"
Of course it looks good!
The question that has been asked for many years has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
"That's right, it looks good, right? Since it looks good, it's not a waste anymore."
"why?"
Feng Huolun was still puzzled, so he heard his father say:
"First of all, the fireworks are very beautiful, and most Hong Kong Island residents will benefit from them. Is this for sure?"
Seeing the little guys nodding, he continued:
"And tonight, are there many small vendors at Victoria Harbor? Are the tourists buying food, drinks and fun? Do these purchases increase the income of small vendors?"
While Brother Jing, Fenghuolun and the others nodded, Little Boy suddenly said:
"Dad, where do the taxes from the Governor's Mansion come from?"
For many years he smiled and praised:
"Yes, you have begun to think about the deeper reasons. The reason why the Government House holds this fireworks show is of course to better develop the economy of Hong Kong Island. Increasing the government's tax revenue is only one of them..."
"If the fireworks factory takes this big order from the Governor's Mansion, it will definitely have to collect taxes, right?"
"If a factory owner is rich, will he be able to buy a house or a car? If a small business owner is rich, will he also buy a lot of things? Expand his business?"
"This series of economic cycles are just an extension of a fireworks show. Do tourists have to spend money on accommodation, meals, tickets, travel, etc. in Hong Kong Island these days?"
At this moment, Xu Yi in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, flattened his mouth, and was about to cry.
After many years, I soon felt that the little guy had stinky diarrhea.
Fortunately, I have diapers, otherwise, it would stink now.
Qin Huairu smiled, picked up Xu Yi, and took the child to change diapers.
"Dad, keep talking!"
Bai Tofu urged.
Her eyes were bright and she seemed to be enlightened.
Listening to her father talk about the core of the economy, she felt that she had penetrated the two channels of Ren and Du, and was enlightened. She suddenly became enlightened.
Xiaomei and the others have also watched it for many years, and it is obvious that they have gained a lot.
"Actually, it's already been said."
Many years hehe said:
"The behavior of the Governor's Office is well understood."
"If 500 million is distributed directly to citizens, in fact, each person will only get one dollar, which is not of much use at all."
"And for this fireworks show, the benefits have already started before spending money on purchasing fireworks."
Everyone was immediately puzzled, especially Lou Bancheng, who didn't expect anything more.
Although he used to be half of the capital and had a lot of money.
But his brain is clever, but not far-sighted enough.
He needs to read more books or be reminded of this kind of economic behavior, otherwise it will be difficult to understand.
"Do you still remember that after the Government House proposed to hold a fireworks event, newspapers across Hong Kong reported on it?"
After hearing his words, everyone nodded in unison.
But I still don’t understand!
"The newspapers are selling well and the stock market is bullish. Aren't these benefits?"
The little one suddenly said:
"Dad, I know. It seems that at the beginning of the month, I remember that people went to buy fireworks in those days. Is this one of the benefits?"
"Of course, you are right." Many years ago, he praised the little one with a smile and continued:
"In fact, after that day, there were suddenly several more fireworks factories on Hong Kong Island, and related industries also increased as a result..."
The discussion on this issue ends here.
Lou Bancheng still had more to say, but he had no choice but to leave first.
Because it's late at night, it's time to go back to bed.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, but everyone won't be keeping vigil.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, Duan Nian's family went shopping.
New Year's Day is also a holiday, so it should be a holiday.
Zhang Mingde also went out to hang out with everyone, just like taking a walk.
Such a leisurely and comfortable life is exactly what I have been pursuing for many years.
"Hey, Third Sister, it seems to be your voice."
While shopping, Xiaodou Bao suddenly said with a smile.
Bai Tofu suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly.
She was unable to reply to this matter.
Since June, her singing has been heard everywhere.
Every time I go shopping, I can always hear singing, and I feel ashamed.
Many shopping malls spend huge sums of money to buy vinyl record players and records, and of course they have to play them well.
It just attracts consumers to enter the store, otherwise how can you make money?
After hearing it many times, white tofu becomes accustomed to it.
But her sister still liked to talk about it, so she was helpless.
On the other hand, the three younger brothers were not so bold.
Bloodline suppression is no joke.
I had been enjoying myself for many years, and suddenly said:
"Daughter, how about you record a few New Year songs in the next two days to suit the occasion?"
"Uncle Wu, do you have any new songs?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoman came over in surprise, her eyes filled with anticipation.
For her, it would be a great thing if she could sing songs written by her fifth uncle again.
Maybe her new record will reach new highs.
From the time she released the song in May to now, she has benefited a lot from that record.
It can almost be said that it has reached the sky in one step.
Now, preparations for the second record have begun.
PolyGram Records is collecting songs for her, but they don’t seem to be high-quality.
And her fifth uncle was very busy, so she didn't dare to ask.
So now it's a great opportunity.
Xiaodoubao and the others also looked at their father with joy, wondering if there was really a new song.
Although their father doesn't sing, the songs he writes are very nice.
Both Bai Doufu and Xiao Man have sung more than 20 songs, and every one of them is very nice.
"Yes, do you want to sing too?"
Many years ago asked with a smile, Xiao Man nodded in response.
Just after he answered, he hesitated and said:
"However, if you don't have many songs, Fifth Uncle, you'd better sing them to your sister."
There are other reasons for intimacy, but she still understands.
What's more, she can't compare with Bai Tofu. Even if the quality of the songs she gets is better, her sister's tone is obviously better.
The two records released in May and June last year are already very telling.
Bai Doufu didn't answer, just urged her father, what song it was.
"Not now, let's talk about it when we get back."
Xiaodoubao and the others were all discouraged when they heard what her father said.
what?
The appetizing bad dad!
Seeing all the children feeling a little uncomfortable has been hilarious for many years.
Qin Huairu gave him a roll of eyes and said:
"Why are you telling the children this when you know it's not the right time?"
"No, Dad, can you hum a few words, okay?"
Bai Doufu reacted, his eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.
The other children immediately chimed in.
Yes, it’s okay to hum a few words!
It’s just that for many years, I have said that it’s not okay. When I go shopping outside, I have to look like I’m shopping. It’s not appropriate to talk about work at this time!
After that, he hugged the child Xu Yi and walked forward.
The children behind him were angry and helpless, so they had no choice but to chase after their father, trying to figure out what the song was no matter what.
After all, it’s really uncomfortable to be tempted and keep thinking about that thing in your mind!
However, I don’t care about this in the many years ahead.
On the contrary, the little guy Xu Yi thought that her brothers and sisters were chasing her.
So she tapped her father on the shoulder and excitedly urged her father to run.
The excitement and high-decibel screams were simply incredible.
The happy time of chasing and fighting passed quickly.
When she got home, Bai Doufu couldn't wait to drag her father to the study.
Write down the music score and lyrics first and then talk about it.
As long as she has these, she can try singing it again first.
As a singer, of course she knows how to read music scores.
Since her debut as a singer, she has started learning various musical instruments.
Understanding music score is just a basic operation.
"May you be happy and prosperous?"
Isn't this song too tacky?
In the study, Bai Doufu saw the song title written by her father and muttered secretly.
Soon, she saw all the lyrics and music score.
It's a bit strange!
The melody is quite cheerful, and after humming a few lines, you will find it quite interesting.
To be honest, just looking at the lyrics, it really fits the occasion and fits the New Year atmosphere.
In the next few days, Bai Doufu was obsessed with learning these New Year songs and couldn't help himself.
Songs such as Spring Flowers, Good Days, God of Wealth Arrives, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy Chinese Year, Good Luck Comes, etc.
This is a song composed entirely to celebrate the New Year. It is very festive and cheerful, but it is tacky and makes it perfect for the song.
As time goes by, the winter vacation is coming as expected.
Because the Spring Festival is relatively early this year, the winter vacation time is also much earlier.
After Bai Doufu finished her final exam, she went into the recording studio and prepared to record all the New Year songs.
Xu Xiaoman also assigned a few songs, but she did not listen to them all, but only chose two of them.
She is still self-aware. First, the time is short and the task is heavy. If she wants to achieve perfection, she must spend more time to become familiar with the songs.
In fact, her talent is not bad, but her cousin's talent is too good.
So she had to push the record out before Bai Tofu.
Otherwise, when her cousin's song comes out, it is [-]% certain that her own record will be affected.
Secondly, she didn't dare to compete with her cousin, so she had better keep her one-third of an acre of land, so as not to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, which would cost her to death?
So she recorded the song while her cousin was taking her final exams.
Liang Shaoxue, the person in charge of PolyGram Group, immediately arranged for the factory to speed up the recording of records and arranged radio promotion and other matters.
It is now after New Year's Day, and New Year's Eve on the 26th is not very far away.
Therefore, it is completely appropriate to release a New Year song at this time.
The record went on sale the day Bai Tofu finished his final exams.
Tens of thousands of records were sold in one fell swoop, causing a sensation throughout Hong Kong.
The reason is simple. This kind of catchy and cheerful song is popular among young people and children, and then spreads to middle-aged and elderly people.
In almost a day, citizens of all ages, regardless of gender, fell in love with such songs.
No. 72 Deep Water Bay, on the first day after Bai Tofu took the final exam, he received a sales report from Liang Shaoxue for many years.
"How many? Eighteen thousand?"
On just the first day, you sold so many records. Isn’t it too impressive?
It was quite surprising for many years. If he remembered correctly, it took almost three days for Xu Xiaoman's first album to reach sales of [-] copies.
Judging from this trend, breaking through [-] records in one week will not be a problem.
However, Bai Doufu has also gone to the recording studio to record the song, and it should be ready within today.
So according to the plan, it will be on sale in three days.
Once her record is released, the growth momentum of Xu Xiaoman's record sales will drop.
The main reason is that both of them are girls, so it can be regarded as a homogeneous competition.
"This is also very good. Xiaoman is really amazing. Her father, do you think our white tofu can't compare to her cousin?"
Qin Huairu, who was next to him, praised him, but then he became worried.
Looking at Xu Yi, who was not far away on the sofa, swaying to the song, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Don't worry, this matter will most likely not happen. The two sisters seem to have similar reputations, but our daughter is stronger and has a better voice."
Some people have pure hooligan voices and will definitely fall to their knees as soon as they open their mouths to sing.
This is not something that ordinary people can do, because God is chasing such people to feed them.
Just like a certain Chen Chu from the original time and space, his voice is really embarrassing.
Is a certain picture cool enough?Not only did he have a super-famous host wife as the backstage, but he also had capital to back him up. Unfortunately, the fast boy competition was defeated by Chen Chu, and the champion was widely recognized by everyone.
Bai Doufu and Xu Xiaoman are somewhat similar to each other. The former's talents such as timbre and absolute pitch far surpass Xu Xiaoman's.
No matter how hard the latter works and their talent is actually quite good, if they are compared together, they are destined to be crushed.
The couple was chatting, and Bai Tofu had returned from the doorway.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Have your cousin's record sales results come out?"
"It's out. Eighteen thousand copies were sold yesterday. Do you feel any pressure?"
"so much?"
Hearing her father's answer, Bai Doufu's eyes widened with a very surprised expression.
She was really surprised that her cousin was so aggressive?
"What kind of pressure can I have? If the records are not easy to sell, then I will write novels."
Bai Doufu shrugged indifferently and continued:
"Besides, my family doesn't lack my money. I just like singing." "My second cousin's records are selling well. Isn't that great? I'm happy for her."
To be honest, she was really happy, but of course, she was more surprised.
And her mentality naturally comes from her own strength.
Regardless of singing or writing novels, she can make money.
Naturally, if given a choice, she would still prefer singing.
The reason is also very simple. Singing does not require her to waste too much time and energy, but her income is several times or even more than writing novels.
There is no way, her records are really popular, especially among the young people, they simply love her songs to death.
The record released in June last year has sold more than 130 million copies.
According to each record, her income is 52 Hong Kong dollars, so the sales of 100 million records are 5000 and [-] million Hong Kong dollars.
After deducting taxes and fees, her income from records last year was more than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.
Throughout last year, she did not continue writing novels because her new book was still being written and saved.
She didn't want to be distracted by chasing manuscripts every day. Even if she wanted to go out and play, it would become very difficult.
So she chose to complete a novel before starting a serial novel.
Therefore, just the old book Zhu Xian's income is just over 100 million.
"If you think so, your mother and I are very happy."
For many years, he said with a smile:
"Continue to maintain this mentality, and you will benefit from it in the future."
In the evening, Xu Xiaoman came to her fifth uncle's house.
Today she went to several shopping malls to participate in events. After all, the new song was released and someone happened to invite her to a commercial performance, so she went there to earn money.
She already knew about the sales performance of her two New Year songs.
Also very satisfying.
Now she came to her fifth uncle's house just to express her gratitude.
He did not forget the well digger when he was drinking water. Naturally, she was grateful for this.
"By the way, are you going back to the capital during the Spring Festival this year?"
After talking about records, something suddenly occurred to me and I asked about it.
The two sisters Xiaoqian and Xiaoman are not supercilious, they are kind-hearted and very grateful.
This is very different from their mother Hu Meifeng.
He did not tell them what happened to Hu Meifeng and Xu Danian when he returned to the capital in the middle of last year.
To be honest, his eldest brother and sister-in-law are indeed too philistine.
However, they were used to being poor, and now that their two daughters had managed to make a living, it didn't seem like a big mistake for them to want to enjoy lying down.
On the contrary, it is human nature.
Especially Hu Meifeng, a lazy person, was extremely happy to have such a capital to lie down.
"Come back, why don't you come back?"
Xu Xiaoman replied without hesitation, but her sister noticed something and asked her fifth uncle if something happened at home?
"What can happen at home? It's okay, don't worry blindly!" Many years ago said quickly.
If Xiaomei said that, he should panic.
Because his sister is possessed by a crow's mouth, as long as she says something not so good, it seems that it will basically come true.
Therefore, every time she opened her mouth to speak in this way, everyone quickly stopped her, lest she start talking again.
After a pause, many years continued:
"The situation is like this. In the middle of last year, I went back, and I told my family about the sales and income of Xiaoman's record in May."
"Uncle Fifth, did my mother say something to you again?"
Xu Xiaoqian's face suddenly turned cold and she asked angrily.
She had always disliked her cheap mother, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to commit suicide because her mother forced her to hand over her private money.
Now, she and her sister finally escaped and made some money.
Unexpectedly, her mother started making trouble again.
Really speechless!
"Ah? Fifth Uncle, my mother didn't say anything to you to make it difficult for you, right? If you don't believe me, I have to go back and talk to her." Xu Xiaoman suddenly became anxious.
It's okay to mess with anyone, but don't mess with her fifth uncle.
In the past two years since she came to Hong Kong Island, Xu Xiaoman still had some understanding of her fifth uncle's temper.
When it goes according to his will, everything is easy to handle, but if it doesn't go according to his will, even if the fifth aunt is there to persuade him, it won't work.
Although her fifth uncle rarely had such moments, even the few times he did so were impressive enough.
Therefore, she didn't want her parents' affairs to cause trouble for her fifth uncle and affect her.
As for what happened to her parents, to be honest, she really wasn't worried at all.
Her parents were already showing signs of getting better, especially her mother, after she and her eldest sister learned how to cook.
She and her eldest sister have always been the ones doing the cooking.
Later, her eldest sister went to Hong Kong Island, and it was her turn with her third sister Xiaoxin.
As for her two younger brothers who also came to Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that she will not be exempt from this.
"Haha, I've already told them, you don't need to tell me."
"Your parents said they wanted to come to the capital to enjoy a happy life, but I rejected them at that time."
Many Years smiled and hummed:
"I don't want to care about what your parents want, but no matter what, they are your parents, so I will tell you what to do and you can weigh it yourself."
"Especially Xiaoqian, you are 21 years old this year. I don't care about whether or when you should get married."
"But you have to restrain your temper. No matter how unbearable my eldest brother and sister-in-law are, they are still your biological parents. What happened in the past has happened. Now you have the strength to resist. I don't care what you want, but don't do it. It’s too stiff, do you understand?”
There are indeed enough bad things going on in the eldest brother's family, and I haven't wanted to complain about them for many years.
But after all, humans are animals with full social attributes and cannot be completely independent or live alone.
Besides, everything goes well with the family.
No matter what conflicts occurred in the past, after all, times have changed now, and changes should be made.
It's really not good to be in a constant state of confrontation and hatred with your parents.
Of course, Xiaoqian has not been allowed to complain directly for many years. I guess she will definitely not be able to do it herself.
He just hopes to maintain the superficial harmony, and he doesn't bother to figure out how to do it.
However, when he talked about this matter, the two sisters Xiaoqian were less interested in chatting.
I couldn't be happy at all.
In the next few days, Xu Xiaoman’s two New Year songs continued to hit the streets and became popular in Bay Island, Medan, Tokyo, Seoul and other regions.
Why do you say small fire?
Because although there are many Chinese in these places, most of them are locals.
Traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival are important days for family reunions, which are particularly prominent and important for overseas Chinese living in foreign countries.
New Year songs are naturally accepted by these overseas Chinese without exception.
The cheerful and festive songs are still very attractive.
Although there are only two songs, it has captured the love of many people.
Many people who clearly don't speak Chinese buy records to listen to the songs because they sound good.
It also became popular overseas. For Xu Xiaoman, this was a happy thing, but she couldn't be happy anymore.
Because her cousin’s new record was on sale, and the data was very strong and explosive.
Twenty thousand copies were sold in half a day. Compared with her cousin, she was crushed.
And as time goes by, more and more people know that Bai Tofu has released a new album, and it is also a very appropriate New Year song, and the citizens are even more happy.
Many citizens who made a lot of money this year also spent a lot of money and actually bought record players to take home, and they have been playing records during the past few days during the New Year.
Hong Kong has a population of more than 400 million, and in the recent period, it has been rapidly moving towards a population of 500 million.
New Year songs are played in the streets and alleys, and the feeling of the New Year is instantly intense.
Many shopping malls and small vendors put New Year's goods on their shelves as soon as possible.
Many small vendors or small factories that produce candies, melon seeds, couplets, etc. directly recruit workers for production in order to supply the enthusiastic citizens as soon as possible.
In the evening, Lou Xiao'e's family came to No. 72 Deep Water Bay for a visit. As soon as they walked in, they started chatting with Qin Huairu.
"Xiao Ru, I heard that Xiao Man and Bai Tofu's New Year song is being played outside. It's very lively, and there are a lot of new year goods. How about we go shopping tomorrow?"
“But we’re going back to the capital the day after tomorrow, why are we still buying new year’s goods?”
Qin Huairu asked in confusion.
According to the custom of previous years, I naturally buy new year's goods after returning to the capital.
There are a lot of weird and weird products here on Hong Kong Island, but that’s about it.
In addition, there is no shortage of these in the capital, so there is no need to bring big and small bags from Hong Kong Island.
"Oh, I still need to dress up at home. Besides, the Chinese New Year is celebrated in the capital, but we can't celebrate the Chinese New Year here in Hong Kong, right?"
In order to persuade Qin Huairu to go shopping together, Lou Xiao'e even persuaded her like this:
"Xiao Ru, you have to know that you have several homes. There are two big houses here, the hilltop and the seaside villa at the farm in Tuen Mun, the house on Barker Road and the villa on Sassoon Road, Pok Fu Lam. What about here?"
"There are so many four houses. Even if you don't live there very often, you should still decorate them, right?"
The villa on Sassoon Road has been built long ago, but it's still the same. I don't live there very often.
I just occasionally go there to sit there for many years, or I just take my wife there to write novels and so on.
Anyway, he would often switch back and forth between the two houses on Barker Road and Sassoon Road, staying there for a day or two, or just use them as an office space.
Of course, there will also be aunties hired in these two houses, mainly for cleaning.
"Okay, let's go shopping tomorrow."
Qin Huairu was persuaded and she agreed. Xiaodoubao and the others also said that they would also go shopping tomorrow.
Then let's go together.
He had come back from outside many years ago. As soon as he walked in, Lou Xiaoe said curiously:
"Lao Wu, why did you come home so late today? You're not usually like this."
As a senior homebody, I rarely go home so late on weekdays for many years.
And it seems that he came home after having dinner out, which is rare.
So it's no wonder Lou Xiao'e is so strange.
"I went to Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital. Something happened there."
He casually explained that he had no intention of continuing this topic for many years, but instead asked Xiaodou Bao what they were talking about just now and why they were so happy.
When he learned that the children were going shopping tomorrow to buy new year's goods, he nodded and said nothing.
Just say that you can go shopping tomorrow, and he will not accompany you.
"Did something happen?"
Qin Huairu said softly, with worry on her expression. Even Xiaodoubao and the others stopped chatting and all looked at their father.
"It's okay. I'm going back to the capital soon. I have to prepare."
I didn't want to talk about it for many years, and it was hard for Qin Huairu and the others to continue asking.
That's the nature of him, he carries everything on his own.
In other words, there are some things that Qin Huairu really doesn't need to know.
In fact, the problem was caused by the arrogant behavior of a family member at Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital.
Of course, it definitely has nothing to do with the doctor, because that doctor is his master.
When Zhang Mingde had nothing to do, he would occasionally go to Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital, and would even take many years and Xiaodoubao's father and daughter along with him.
Yesterday, only Zhang Mingde went there by himself, but he didn't expect to encounter an unreasonable customer, which made a big fuss.
The person in charge of the hospital contacted him for many years, so he hurried to the hospital to handle the matter.
As a private hospital, Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital naturally would not tolerate that customer, so it immediately settled the matter in front of the public, severely humiliating the customer.
But the subsequent impact is not without, so public relations must be done well to avoid greater trouble.
"Dad, have my record sales results come out?"
At this moment, Bai Tofu changed the subject.
It's already evening now, so we should have a rough idea of today's sales results, right?
In the afternoon, I just counted the data before noon, and there were already [-].
Now, I'm afraid it's more than [-], right?
But this is just an estimate, not actual data.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you. You are indeed my daughter. Just before I came back, I received a call saying that it had broken the record of 4 and reached [-]. "
hiss!
Xu Xiaoman took a deep breath. Isn't this data too terrifying?
How come the gap between humans is even greater than that between humans and pigs?
It was only a few days before and after, so why were her cousin's records so great?
If her album is released next time, will it be crushed to the point where no one cares about it?
Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, Xiaomei, and Xiaoqian were all shocked by the news. Was there any mistake?
A few days ago, they found out about Xiaoman's record sales, which were selling [-] copies a day. Everyone felt terrible.
Unexpectedly, Bai Doufu was even more aggressive, directly pushing the record to a height of 4 records a day.
How terrifying!
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Bai Tofu himself was surprised, but he quickly came to his senses.
These are not her own achievements, but more the songs written by her father, which are indeed very good.
After the excitement, the next day, a group of them went shopping again.
Tsim Sha Tsui, one of the most prosperous areas on Hong Kong Island.
"Wow, there are so many people now."
Wandering in the bustling streets, Qin Huairu and the others' progress was completely slowed down.
Good guy, it took a long time to advance less than 500 meters.
The air is filled with rich aromas, many special snacks, and even delicacies that everyone has never heard of, but they are particularly tempting.
"Oh, what is this? It should be delicious, right?"
Brother Jing saw the fried gadgets at the small stall, which were crispy and burnt, and looked particularly delicious. He couldn't walk anymore.
With the burden of delicious food, it's surprising that Qin Huairu and the others can move faster.
Fortunately, before going out, they told Li Jinlian and other aunts that they would not be back for lunch.
Otherwise, if the food is prepared at home, it will definitely be wasted.
"There are too many people on Hong Kong Island, right? What is going on?"
Xiaotuanzi didn't understand it very well. He had never noticed that there were so many people in Hong Kong Island before.
But now the streets are crowded with people and it’s really scary.
They didn't go out by car today, but by the subway. The huge flow of people in the subway was equally surprising.
"Second sister, you probably haven't read the news. The newspapers have reported recently that the number of tourists on Hong Kong Island has increased by nearly 10, and there are more and more mainlanders, so this situation is not strange."
The little one walking in front looked back and analyzed with a smile.
Ever since his father's analysis of Hong Kong Island's economic behavior on New Year's Eve, he had been very interested in it.
Mathematics is not simply addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In fact, it has many, many aspects.
There are many mathematical problems or answers hidden in many economic behaviors.
Therefore, he paid special attention and attention to these.
For example, right now, he wants to know one thing: In what range does the current population of Hong Kong Island fall?
If you want to calculate the population increase through mathematical methods, how to solve this mathematical problem full of huge variables?
Build a mathematical model?
Or is there another way?
He didn't tell his father about this. He planned to think about it by himself first and see if there was any way to solve this problem.
"Oh, but there are too many people here."
Xiaotuanzi was stunned, and his attention was quickly attracted by the smell of delicious food.
Qin Huairu has been holding Xu Yi in her arms. The little guy is very interested in many things, especially wants to eat, and also likes to play.
There are so many dazzling products.
As a result, the little one who was very fond of and happy at the beginning was also made to have eyelids, and finally fell asleep in her mother's arms.
It is very rare for a child of one year and four months to persist for such a long time.
After she fell asleep, the little boy picked her up on his back.
The elder brother carried his younger sister on his back and looked decent.
The little one, who is almost 1.5 meters tall, looks like a half-grown boy, but his strength is not small.
Qin Huairu also felt relieved to let him carry the child, and it was not the first time, so naturally she had nothing to worry about.
Time flew by and as I continued shopping, Lou Xiaoe saw the couplets written in beautiful fonts and couldn't help but buy them.
As a result, not only Xiaomei, Xiaoqian and the others were holding trophies in their hands, but Xu Wenjie, who was over two years old, was also carrying two small, lightweight toys in his hands.
Got it!
I can’t carry it anymore, so I’d better go back home.
If you want to take so many gifts home, you must not take the subway, you have to drive.
Shake people!
After receiving the call many years ago, he notified Li Jinlian and the others to drive to Tsim Sha Tsui to pick him up.
When they got home, they were in a daze looking at so many trophies.
In fact, when Li Jinlian picked them up in Tsim Sha Tsui, they had already discovered the problem.
I bought too many New Year’s goods!
There are things for eating, drinking, and playing, and there are even many that I don’t know what they are used for.
But after buying everything, you can’t return it, right?
However, it would be difficult to consume so much loot.
Qin Huairu and the others thought about it and planned to go home and sort them into categories, and then decorate the house first.
As a result, after all the door couplets, lanterns, firecrackers, etc. were finished, I found that there was still a lot left.
Even if we give some to Sassoon Road, Barker Road and Tuen Mun Farm, it is still too much. (End of chapter)
The fire tree and the silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.
There was only a loud bang, and brilliant fireworks suddenly appeared in the night sky over Victoria Harbor.
Fireworks blooming like mushrooms or flowers in bud, exploded in the dark night sky, and beautiful patterns were reflected in the eyes of the audience, fleeting.
Cheers followed, and exclamations were also mixed in.
"Good guy, does the Governor really mean what he says? How much do such beautiful fireworks cost?"
"God, this is the most beautiful fireworks show I have ever seen in my life, bar none."
"Totally incredible, so beautiful!"
"Mom, look at the fireworks, they are so beautiful!"
"Hong Kong Island has changed too much. So many people are crowded here to watch the fireworks. I heard that all the police in Hong Kong have been mobilized?"
"The Flying Tigers are all on duty, hiss, even the Governor is watching the fireworks on the shore."
Although the fireworks show is somewhat laborious and wastes money, it should be said that the fireworks are really beautiful.
At No. 43 Barker Road, many years after the family had dinner, they went to the entertainment room on the fifth floor to enjoy the fireworks together.
There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls, offering a panoramic view of the entire Victoria Harbour.
Although there are many people, the fireworks can be seen by everyone on one floor.
Lou Bancheng also came. He originally wanted to talk to Duan Nian about investment.
But the latter kept holding Xu Yi, and the little ones ran to find their father from time to time.
As a result, Lou Bancheng couldn't talk to Duan Nian for a long time, so he had to give up.
The fireworks outside are particularly beautiful. This must be the first time that such beautiful fireworks bloom in the night sky of Hong Kong Island.
And it is very intensive, lasting more than half an hour.
The HKD 500 million fireworks really didn’t lie.
"Dad, is it a waste of money to set off so many fireworks at the Governor's Mansion?"
Hot Wheels suddenly came over because he and his brother were arguing about this issue just now.
The suggestion held by the little one is that it will not waste money because it attracts many tourists to visit.
But Brother Jing and Fenghuolun, the two younger ones, held opposing opinions.
Qin Huairu and Xiaomei all looked at it with smiles and did not express any opinions.
"You three brothers are not wrong, but we should not look at the problem so superficially and understand the situation from multiple aspects."
Years of holding the child in his arms, laughing and explaining his point of view.
"The reason why you two brothers think that setting off fireworks, especially so many fireworks, is a huge waste."
"That's because you measure it based on the most basic level. With HK$500 million, it's better to just give out red envelopes. It's beneficial to everyone, right?"
The two children nodded immediately, and the little one bit his lip and thought.
Lou Bancheng was also thinking about this issue, but he also had many doubts.
"Ignoring why the Governor's Mansion sets off fireworks, let's just ask, are these fireworks good-looking?"
Of course it looks good!
The question that has been asked for many years has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
"That's right, it looks good, right? Since it looks good, it's not a waste anymore."
"why?"
Feng Huolun was still puzzled, so he heard his father say:
"First of all, the fireworks are very beautiful, and most Hong Kong Island residents will benefit from them. Is this for sure?"
Seeing the little guys nodding, he continued:
"And tonight, are there many small vendors at Victoria Harbor? Are the tourists buying food, drinks and fun? Do these purchases increase the income of small vendors?"
While Brother Jing, Fenghuolun and the others nodded, Little Boy suddenly said:
"Dad, where do the taxes from the Governor's Mansion come from?"
For many years he smiled and praised:
"Yes, you have begun to think about the deeper reasons. The reason why the Government House holds this fireworks show is of course to better develop the economy of Hong Kong Island. Increasing the government's tax revenue is only one of them..."
"If the fireworks factory takes this big order from the Governor's Mansion, it will definitely have to collect taxes, right?"
"If a factory owner is rich, will he be able to buy a house or a car? If a small business owner is rich, will he also buy a lot of things? Expand his business?"
"This series of economic cycles are just an extension of a fireworks show. Do tourists have to spend money on accommodation, meals, tickets, travel, etc. in Hong Kong Island these days?"
At this moment, Xu Yi in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, flattened his mouth, and was about to cry.
After many years, I soon felt that the little guy had stinky diarrhea.
Fortunately, I have diapers, otherwise, it would stink now.
Qin Huairu smiled, picked up Xu Yi, and took the child to change diapers.
"Dad, keep talking!"
Bai Tofu urged.
Her eyes were bright and she seemed to be enlightened.
Listening to her father talk about the core of the economy, she felt that she had penetrated the two channels of Ren and Du, and was enlightened. She suddenly became enlightened.
Xiaomei and the others have also watched it for many years, and it is obvious that they have gained a lot.
"Actually, it's already been said."
Many years hehe said:
"The behavior of the Governor's Office is well understood."
"If 500 million is distributed directly to citizens, in fact, each person will only get one dollar, which is not of much use at all."
"And for this fireworks show, the benefits have already started before spending money on purchasing fireworks."
Everyone was immediately puzzled, especially Lou Bancheng, who didn't expect anything more.
Although he used to be half of the capital and had a lot of money.
But his brain is clever, but not far-sighted enough.
He needs to read more books or be reminded of this kind of economic behavior, otherwise it will be difficult to understand.
"Do you still remember that after the Government House proposed to hold a fireworks event, newspapers across Hong Kong reported on it?"
After hearing his words, everyone nodded in unison.
But I still don’t understand!
"The newspapers are selling well and the stock market is bullish. Aren't these benefits?"
The little one suddenly said:
"Dad, I know. It seems that at the beginning of the month, I remember that people went to buy fireworks in those days. Is this one of the benefits?"
"Of course, you are right." Many years ago, he praised the little one with a smile and continued:
"In fact, after that day, there were suddenly several more fireworks factories on Hong Kong Island, and related industries also increased as a result..."
The discussion on this issue ends here.
Lou Bancheng still had more to say, but he had no choice but to leave first.
Because it's late at night, it's time to go back to bed.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, but everyone won't be keeping vigil.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, Duan Nian's family went shopping.
New Year's Day is also a holiday, so it should be a holiday.
Zhang Mingde also went out to hang out with everyone, just like taking a walk.
Such a leisurely and comfortable life is exactly what I have been pursuing for many years.
"Hey, Third Sister, it seems to be your voice."
While shopping, Xiaodou Bao suddenly said with a smile.
Bai Tofu suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly.
She was unable to reply to this matter.
Since June, her singing has been heard everywhere.
Every time I go shopping, I can always hear singing, and I feel ashamed.
Many shopping malls spend huge sums of money to buy vinyl record players and records, and of course they have to play them well.
It just attracts consumers to enter the store, otherwise how can you make money?
After hearing it many times, white tofu becomes accustomed to it.
But her sister still liked to talk about it, so she was helpless.
On the other hand, the three younger brothers were not so bold.
Bloodline suppression is no joke.
I had been enjoying myself for many years, and suddenly said:
"Daughter, how about you record a few New Year songs in the next two days to suit the occasion?"
"Uncle Wu, do you have any new songs?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoman came over in surprise, her eyes filled with anticipation.
For her, it would be a great thing if she could sing songs written by her fifth uncle again.
Maybe her new record will reach new highs.
From the time she released the song in May to now, she has benefited a lot from that record.
It can almost be said that it has reached the sky in one step.
Now, preparations for the second record have begun.
PolyGram Records is collecting songs for her, but they don’t seem to be high-quality.
And her fifth uncle was very busy, so she didn't dare to ask.
So now it's a great opportunity.
Xiaodoubao and the others also looked at their father with joy, wondering if there was really a new song.
Although their father doesn't sing, the songs he writes are very nice.
Both Bai Doufu and Xiao Man have sung more than 20 songs, and every one of them is very nice.
"Yes, do you want to sing too?"
Many years ago asked with a smile, Xiao Man nodded in response.
Just after he answered, he hesitated and said:
"However, if you don't have many songs, Fifth Uncle, you'd better sing them to your sister."
There are other reasons for intimacy, but she still understands.
What's more, she can't compare with Bai Tofu. Even if the quality of the songs she gets is better, her sister's tone is obviously better.
The two records released in May and June last year are already very telling.
Bai Doufu didn't answer, just urged her father, what song it was.
"Not now, let's talk about it when we get back."
Xiaodoubao and the others were all discouraged when they heard what her father said.
what?
The appetizing bad dad!
Seeing all the children feeling a little uncomfortable has been hilarious for many years.
Qin Huairu gave him a roll of eyes and said:
"Why are you telling the children this when you know it's not the right time?"
"No, Dad, can you hum a few words, okay?"
Bai Doufu reacted, his eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.
The other children immediately chimed in.
Yes, it’s okay to hum a few words!
It’s just that for many years, I have said that it’s not okay. When I go shopping outside, I have to look like I’m shopping. It’s not appropriate to talk about work at this time!
After that, he hugged the child Xu Yi and walked forward.
The children behind him were angry and helpless, so they had no choice but to chase after their father, trying to figure out what the song was no matter what.
After all, it’s really uncomfortable to be tempted and keep thinking about that thing in your mind!
However, I don’t care about this in the many years ahead.
On the contrary, the little guy Xu Yi thought that her brothers and sisters were chasing her.
So she tapped her father on the shoulder and excitedly urged her father to run.
The excitement and high-decibel screams were simply incredible.
The happy time of chasing and fighting passed quickly.
When she got home, Bai Doufu couldn't wait to drag her father to the study.
Write down the music score and lyrics first and then talk about it.
As long as she has these, she can try singing it again first.
As a singer, of course she knows how to read music scores.
Since her debut as a singer, she has started learning various musical instruments.
Understanding music score is just a basic operation.
"May you be happy and prosperous?"
Isn't this song too tacky?
In the study, Bai Doufu saw the song title written by her father and muttered secretly.
Soon, she saw all the lyrics and music score.
It's a bit strange!
The melody is quite cheerful, and after humming a few lines, you will find it quite interesting.
To be honest, just looking at the lyrics, it really fits the occasion and fits the New Year atmosphere.
In the next few days, Bai Doufu was obsessed with learning these New Year songs and couldn't help himself.
Songs such as Spring Flowers, Good Days, God of Wealth Arrives, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy Chinese Year, Good Luck Comes, etc.
This is a song composed entirely to celebrate the New Year. It is very festive and cheerful, but it is tacky and makes it perfect for the song.
As time goes by, the winter vacation is coming as expected.
Because the Spring Festival is relatively early this year, the winter vacation time is also much earlier.
After Bai Doufu finished her final exam, she went into the recording studio and prepared to record all the New Year songs.
Xu Xiaoman also assigned a few songs, but she did not listen to them all, but only chose two of them.
She is still self-aware. First, the time is short and the task is heavy. If she wants to achieve perfection, she must spend more time to become familiar with the songs.
In fact, her talent is not bad, but her cousin's talent is too good.
So she had to push the record out before Bai Tofu.
Otherwise, when her cousin's song comes out, it is [-]% certain that her own record will be affected.
Secondly, she didn't dare to compete with her cousin, so she had better keep her one-third of an acre of land, so as not to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, which would cost her to death?
So she recorded the song while her cousin was taking her final exams.
Liang Shaoxue, the person in charge of PolyGram Group, immediately arranged for the factory to speed up the recording of records and arranged radio promotion and other matters.
It is now after New Year's Day, and New Year's Eve on the 26th is not very far away.
Therefore, it is completely appropriate to release a New Year song at this time.
The record went on sale the day Bai Tofu finished his final exams.
Tens of thousands of records were sold in one fell swoop, causing a sensation throughout Hong Kong.
The reason is simple. This kind of catchy and cheerful song is popular among young people and children, and then spreads to middle-aged and elderly people.
In almost a day, citizens of all ages, regardless of gender, fell in love with such songs.
No. 72 Deep Water Bay, on the first day after Bai Tofu took the final exam, he received a sales report from Liang Shaoxue for many years.
"How many? Eighteen thousand?"
On just the first day, you sold so many records. Isn’t it too impressive?
It was quite surprising for many years. If he remembered correctly, it took almost three days for Xu Xiaoman's first album to reach sales of [-] copies.
Judging from this trend, breaking through [-] records in one week will not be a problem.
However, Bai Doufu has also gone to the recording studio to record the song, and it should be ready within today.
So according to the plan, it will be on sale in three days.
Once her record is released, the growth momentum of Xu Xiaoman's record sales will drop.
The main reason is that both of them are girls, so it can be regarded as a homogeneous competition.
"This is also very good. Xiaoman is really amazing. Her father, do you think our white tofu can't compare to her cousin?"
Qin Huairu, who was next to him, praised him, but then he became worried.
Looking at Xu Yi, who was not far away on the sofa, swaying to the song, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Don't worry, this matter will most likely not happen. The two sisters seem to have similar reputations, but our daughter is stronger and has a better voice."
Some people have pure hooligan voices and will definitely fall to their knees as soon as they open their mouths to sing.
This is not something that ordinary people can do, because God is chasing such people to feed them.
Just like a certain Chen Chu from the original time and space, his voice is really embarrassing.
Is a certain picture cool enough?Not only did he have a super-famous host wife as the backstage, but he also had capital to back him up. Unfortunately, the fast boy competition was defeated by Chen Chu, and the champion was widely recognized by everyone.
Bai Doufu and Xu Xiaoman are somewhat similar to each other. The former's talents such as timbre and absolute pitch far surpass Xu Xiaoman's.
No matter how hard the latter works and their talent is actually quite good, if they are compared together, they are destined to be crushed.
The couple was chatting, and Bai Tofu had returned from the doorway.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Have your cousin's record sales results come out?"
"It's out. Eighteen thousand copies were sold yesterday. Do you feel any pressure?"
"so much?"
Hearing her father's answer, Bai Doufu's eyes widened with a very surprised expression.
She was really surprised that her cousin was so aggressive?
"What kind of pressure can I have? If the records are not easy to sell, then I will write novels."
Bai Doufu shrugged indifferently and continued:
"Besides, my family doesn't lack my money. I just like singing." "My second cousin's records are selling well. Isn't that great? I'm happy for her."
To be honest, she was really happy, but of course, she was more surprised.
And her mentality naturally comes from her own strength.
Regardless of singing or writing novels, she can make money.
Naturally, if given a choice, she would still prefer singing.
The reason is also very simple. Singing does not require her to waste too much time and energy, but her income is several times or even more than writing novels.
There is no way, her records are really popular, especially among the young people, they simply love her songs to death.
The record released in June last year has sold more than 130 million copies.
According to each record, her income is 52 Hong Kong dollars, so the sales of 100 million records are 5000 and [-] million Hong Kong dollars.
After deducting taxes and fees, her income from records last year was more than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.
Throughout last year, she did not continue writing novels because her new book was still being written and saved.
She didn't want to be distracted by chasing manuscripts every day. Even if she wanted to go out and play, it would become very difficult.
So she chose to complete a novel before starting a serial novel.
Therefore, just the old book Zhu Xian's income is just over 100 million.
"If you think so, your mother and I are very happy."
For many years, he said with a smile:
"Continue to maintain this mentality, and you will benefit from it in the future."
In the evening, Xu Xiaoman came to her fifth uncle's house.
Today she went to several shopping malls to participate in events. After all, the new song was released and someone happened to invite her to a commercial performance, so she went there to earn money.
She already knew about the sales performance of her two New Year songs.
Also very satisfying.
Now she came to her fifth uncle's house just to express her gratitude.
He did not forget the well digger when he was drinking water. Naturally, she was grateful for this.
"By the way, are you going back to the capital during the Spring Festival this year?"
After talking about records, something suddenly occurred to me and I asked about it.
The two sisters Xiaoqian and Xiaoman are not supercilious, they are kind-hearted and very grateful.
This is very different from their mother Hu Meifeng.
He did not tell them what happened to Hu Meifeng and Xu Danian when he returned to the capital in the middle of last year.
To be honest, his eldest brother and sister-in-law are indeed too philistine.
However, they were used to being poor, and now that their two daughters had managed to make a living, it didn't seem like a big mistake for them to want to enjoy lying down.
On the contrary, it is human nature.
Especially Hu Meifeng, a lazy person, was extremely happy to have such a capital to lie down.
"Come back, why don't you come back?"
Xu Xiaoman replied without hesitation, but her sister noticed something and asked her fifth uncle if something happened at home?
"What can happen at home? It's okay, don't worry blindly!" Many years ago said quickly.
If Xiaomei said that, he should panic.
Because his sister is possessed by a crow's mouth, as long as she says something not so good, it seems that it will basically come true.
Therefore, every time she opened her mouth to speak in this way, everyone quickly stopped her, lest she start talking again.
After a pause, many years continued:
"The situation is like this. In the middle of last year, I went back, and I told my family about the sales and income of Xiaoman's record in May."
"Uncle Fifth, did my mother say something to you again?"
Xu Xiaoqian's face suddenly turned cold and she asked angrily.
She had always disliked her cheap mother, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to commit suicide because her mother forced her to hand over her private money.
Now, she and her sister finally escaped and made some money.
Unexpectedly, her mother started making trouble again.
Really speechless!
"Ah? Fifth Uncle, my mother didn't say anything to you to make it difficult for you, right? If you don't believe me, I have to go back and talk to her." Xu Xiaoman suddenly became anxious.
It's okay to mess with anyone, but don't mess with her fifth uncle.
In the past two years since she came to Hong Kong Island, Xu Xiaoman still had some understanding of her fifth uncle's temper.
When it goes according to his will, everything is easy to handle, but if it doesn't go according to his will, even if the fifth aunt is there to persuade him, it won't work.
Although her fifth uncle rarely had such moments, even the few times he did so were impressive enough.
Therefore, she didn't want her parents' affairs to cause trouble for her fifth uncle and affect her.
As for what happened to her parents, to be honest, she really wasn't worried at all.
Her parents were already showing signs of getting better, especially her mother, after she and her eldest sister learned how to cook.
She and her eldest sister have always been the ones doing the cooking.
Later, her eldest sister went to Hong Kong Island, and it was her turn with her third sister Xiaoxin.
As for her two younger brothers who also came to Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that she will not be exempt from this.
"Haha, I've already told them, you don't need to tell me."
"Your parents said they wanted to come to the capital to enjoy a happy life, but I rejected them at that time."
Many Years smiled and hummed:
"I don't want to care about what your parents want, but no matter what, they are your parents, so I will tell you what to do and you can weigh it yourself."
"Especially Xiaoqian, you are 21 years old this year. I don't care about whether or when you should get married."
"But you have to restrain your temper. No matter how unbearable my eldest brother and sister-in-law are, they are still your biological parents. What happened in the past has happened. Now you have the strength to resist. I don't care what you want, but don't do it. It’s too stiff, do you understand?”
There are indeed enough bad things going on in the eldest brother's family, and I haven't wanted to complain about them for many years.
But after all, humans are animals with full social attributes and cannot be completely independent or live alone.
Besides, everything goes well with the family.
No matter what conflicts occurred in the past, after all, times have changed now, and changes should be made.
It's really not good to be in a constant state of confrontation and hatred with your parents.
Of course, Xiaoqian has not been allowed to complain directly for many years. I guess she will definitely not be able to do it herself.
He just hopes to maintain the superficial harmony, and he doesn't bother to figure out how to do it.
However, when he talked about this matter, the two sisters Xiaoqian were less interested in chatting.
I couldn't be happy at all.
In the next few days, Xu Xiaoman’s two New Year songs continued to hit the streets and became popular in Bay Island, Medan, Tokyo, Seoul and other regions.
Why do you say small fire?
Because although there are many Chinese in these places, most of them are locals.
Traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival are important days for family reunions, which are particularly prominent and important for overseas Chinese living in foreign countries.
New Year songs are naturally accepted by these overseas Chinese without exception.
The cheerful and festive songs are still very attractive.
Although there are only two songs, it has captured the love of many people.
Many people who clearly don't speak Chinese buy records to listen to the songs because they sound good.
It also became popular overseas. For Xu Xiaoman, this was a happy thing, but she couldn't be happy anymore.
Because her cousin’s new record was on sale, and the data was very strong and explosive.
Twenty thousand copies were sold in half a day. Compared with her cousin, she was crushed.
And as time goes by, more and more people know that Bai Tofu has released a new album, and it is also a very appropriate New Year song, and the citizens are even more happy.
Many citizens who made a lot of money this year also spent a lot of money and actually bought record players to take home, and they have been playing records during the past few days during the New Year.
Hong Kong has a population of more than 400 million, and in the recent period, it has been rapidly moving towards a population of 500 million.
New Year songs are played in the streets and alleys, and the feeling of the New Year is instantly intense.
Many shopping malls and small vendors put New Year's goods on their shelves as soon as possible.
Many small vendors or small factories that produce candies, melon seeds, couplets, etc. directly recruit workers for production in order to supply the enthusiastic citizens as soon as possible.
In the evening, Lou Xiao'e's family came to No. 72 Deep Water Bay for a visit. As soon as they walked in, they started chatting with Qin Huairu.
"Xiao Ru, I heard that Xiao Man and Bai Tofu's New Year song is being played outside. It's very lively, and there are a lot of new year goods. How about we go shopping tomorrow?"
“But we’re going back to the capital the day after tomorrow, why are we still buying new year’s goods?”
Qin Huairu asked in confusion.
According to the custom of previous years, I naturally buy new year's goods after returning to the capital.
There are a lot of weird and weird products here on Hong Kong Island, but that’s about it.
In addition, there is no shortage of these in the capital, so there is no need to bring big and small bags from Hong Kong Island.
"Oh, I still need to dress up at home. Besides, the Chinese New Year is celebrated in the capital, but we can't celebrate the Chinese New Year here in Hong Kong, right?"
In order to persuade Qin Huairu to go shopping together, Lou Xiao'e even persuaded her like this:
"Xiao Ru, you have to know that you have several homes. There are two big houses here, the hilltop and the seaside villa at the farm in Tuen Mun, the house on Barker Road and the villa on Sassoon Road, Pok Fu Lam. What about here?"
"There are so many four houses. Even if you don't live there very often, you should still decorate them, right?"
The villa on Sassoon Road has been built long ago, but it's still the same. I don't live there very often.
I just occasionally go there to sit there for many years, or I just take my wife there to write novels and so on.
Anyway, he would often switch back and forth between the two houses on Barker Road and Sassoon Road, staying there for a day or two, or just use them as an office space.
Of course, there will also be aunties hired in these two houses, mainly for cleaning.
"Okay, let's go shopping tomorrow."
Qin Huairu was persuaded and she agreed. Xiaodoubao and the others also said that they would also go shopping tomorrow.
Then let's go together.
He had come back from outside many years ago. As soon as he walked in, Lou Xiaoe said curiously:
"Lao Wu, why did you come home so late today? You're not usually like this."
As a senior homebody, I rarely go home so late on weekdays for many years.
And it seems that he came home after having dinner out, which is rare.
So it's no wonder Lou Xiao'e is so strange.
"I went to Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital. Something happened there."
He casually explained that he had no intention of continuing this topic for many years, but instead asked Xiaodou Bao what they were talking about just now and why they were so happy.
When he learned that the children were going shopping tomorrow to buy new year's goods, he nodded and said nothing.
Just say that you can go shopping tomorrow, and he will not accompany you.
"Did something happen?"
Qin Huairu said softly, with worry on her expression. Even Xiaodoubao and the others stopped chatting and all looked at their father.
"It's okay. I'm going back to the capital soon. I have to prepare."
I didn't want to talk about it for many years, and it was hard for Qin Huairu and the others to continue asking.
That's the nature of him, he carries everything on his own.
In other words, there are some things that Qin Huairu really doesn't need to know.
In fact, the problem was caused by the arrogant behavior of a family member at Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital.
Of course, it definitely has nothing to do with the doctor, because that doctor is his master.
When Zhang Mingde had nothing to do, he would occasionally go to Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital, and would even take many years and Xiaodoubao's father and daughter along with him.
Yesterday, only Zhang Mingde went there by himself, but he didn't expect to encounter an unreasonable customer, which made a big fuss.
The person in charge of the hospital contacted him for many years, so he hurried to the hospital to handle the matter.
As a private hospital, Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital naturally would not tolerate that customer, so it immediately settled the matter in front of the public, severely humiliating the customer.
But the subsequent impact is not without, so public relations must be done well to avoid greater trouble.
"Dad, have my record sales results come out?"
At this moment, Bai Tofu changed the subject.
It's already evening now, so we should have a rough idea of today's sales results, right?
In the afternoon, I just counted the data before noon, and there were already [-].
Now, I'm afraid it's more than [-], right?
But this is just an estimate, not actual data.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you. You are indeed my daughter. Just before I came back, I received a call saying that it had broken the record of 4 and reached [-]. "
hiss!
Xu Xiaoman took a deep breath. Isn't this data too terrifying?
How come the gap between humans is even greater than that between humans and pigs?
It was only a few days before and after, so why were her cousin's records so great?
If her album is released next time, will it be crushed to the point where no one cares about it?
Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, Xiaomei, and Xiaoqian were all shocked by the news. Was there any mistake?
A few days ago, they found out about Xiaoman's record sales, which were selling [-] copies a day. Everyone felt terrible.
Unexpectedly, Bai Doufu was even more aggressive, directly pushing the record to a height of 4 records a day.
How terrifying!
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Bai Tofu himself was surprised, but he quickly came to his senses.
These are not her own achievements, but more the songs written by her father, which are indeed very good.
After the excitement, the next day, a group of them went shopping again.
Tsim Sha Tsui, one of the most prosperous areas on Hong Kong Island.
"Wow, there are so many people now."
Wandering in the bustling streets, Qin Huairu and the others' progress was completely slowed down.
Good guy, it took a long time to advance less than 500 meters.
The air is filled with rich aromas, many special snacks, and even delicacies that everyone has never heard of, but they are particularly tempting.
"Oh, what is this? It should be delicious, right?"
Brother Jing saw the fried gadgets at the small stall, which were crispy and burnt, and looked particularly delicious. He couldn't walk anymore.
With the burden of delicious food, it's surprising that Qin Huairu and the others can move faster.
Fortunately, before going out, they told Li Jinlian and other aunts that they would not be back for lunch.
Otherwise, if the food is prepared at home, it will definitely be wasted.
"There are too many people on Hong Kong Island, right? What is going on?"
Xiaotuanzi didn't understand it very well. He had never noticed that there were so many people in Hong Kong Island before.
But now the streets are crowded with people and it’s really scary.
They didn't go out by car today, but by the subway. The huge flow of people in the subway was equally surprising.
"Second sister, you probably haven't read the news. The newspapers have reported recently that the number of tourists on Hong Kong Island has increased by nearly 10, and there are more and more mainlanders, so this situation is not strange."
The little one walking in front looked back and analyzed with a smile.
Ever since his father's analysis of Hong Kong Island's economic behavior on New Year's Eve, he had been very interested in it.
Mathematics is not simply addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In fact, it has many, many aspects.
There are many mathematical problems or answers hidden in many economic behaviors.
Therefore, he paid special attention and attention to these.
For example, right now, he wants to know one thing: In what range does the current population of Hong Kong Island fall?
If you want to calculate the population increase through mathematical methods, how to solve this mathematical problem full of huge variables?
Build a mathematical model?
Or is there another way?
He didn't tell his father about this. He planned to think about it by himself first and see if there was any way to solve this problem.
"Oh, but there are too many people here."
Xiaotuanzi was stunned, and his attention was quickly attracted by the smell of delicious food.
Qin Huairu has been holding Xu Yi in her arms. The little guy is very interested in many things, especially wants to eat, and also likes to play.
There are so many dazzling products.
As a result, the little one who was very fond of and happy at the beginning was also made to have eyelids, and finally fell asleep in her mother's arms.
It is very rare for a child of one year and four months to persist for such a long time.
After she fell asleep, the little boy picked her up on his back.
The elder brother carried his younger sister on his back and looked decent.
The little one, who is almost 1.5 meters tall, looks like a half-grown boy, but his strength is not small.
Qin Huairu also felt relieved to let him carry the child, and it was not the first time, so naturally she had nothing to worry about.
Time flew by and as I continued shopping, Lou Xiaoe saw the couplets written in beautiful fonts and couldn't help but buy them.
As a result, not only Xiaomei, Xiaoqian and the others were holding trophies in their hands, but Xu Wenjie, who was over two years old, was also carrying two small, lightweight toys in his hands.
Got it!
I can’t carry it anymore, so I’d better go back home.
If you want to take so many gifts home, you must not take the subway, you have to drive.
Shake people!
After receiving the call many years ago, he notified Li Jinlian and the others to drive to Tsim Sha Tsui to pick him up.
When they got home, they were in a daze looking at so many trophies.
In fact, when Li Jinlian picked them up in Tsim Sha Tsui, they had already discovered the problem.
I bought too many New Year’s goods!
There are things for eating, drinking, and playing, and there are even many that I don’t know what they are used for.
But after buying everything, you can’t return it, right?
However, it would be difficult to consume so much loot.
Qin Huairu and the others thought about it and planned to go home and sort them into categories, and then decorate the house first.
As a result, after all the door couplets, lanterns, firecrackers, etc. were finished, I found that there was still a lot left.
Even if we give some to Sassoon Road, Barker Road and Tuen Mun Farm, it is still too much. (End of chapter)
