Chapter 31 He Xiaos first experience with Xiangjiang
After leaving the pier, He Yuzhu took He Xiao out of the exit, and saw Lou Minghe waving his hands, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Zhuzi, is this my eldest nephew?"
Lou Minghe's eyes lit up when he saw He Xiao, who was almost as tall as He Yuzhu.
It is said that the nephew is like his uncle. He Xiao's face is somewhat similar to Lou Xiao'e's, and Lou Xiao'e is similar to Lou Minghe.
Therefore, He Xiao's appearance looks a bit like Lou Minghe's.
"Uncle, I am He Xiao."
He Xiao had already seen photos of Lou Minghe, not only photos of Lou Minghe, but also family photos of Lou Minghe's family.
"Okay, nephew, you look good," Lou Minghe pulled He Xiao to praise him a few words, and said with admiration: "Your dad said that you have been admitted to a key high school. You are better than your uncle and your mother in this regard. I will wait for you."
After you graduate from high school, my uncle will take you to Xiangjiang to go to university."
"Thank you uncle."
He Xiao was still a little worried on the way, whether he would feel uncomfortable coming to the unfamiliar Xiangjiang.
Unexpectedly, I was greeted by an uncle whose local accent had not changed, and I immediately felt more cordial.
"Brother, let's go home first."
Seeing that Lou Minghe was a little excited, He Yuzhu tried to persuade him.
Lou Minghe then slapped his forehead repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, go home first. You must be tired after traveling all day."
After leaving the pier, the three of them got into Lou Minghe's car.
Lou Minghe and He Yuzhu were sitting in the back row, and they began to thank He Yuzhu for helping the Lou family solve the big trouble.
He Yuzhu laughed and cursed twice: "Brother, are you trying to harm me? Our parents are being plotted against us, and if I don't show my face, am I still considered a human being?"
"I'm being polite," Lou Minghe responded to the scolding with a smile and admitted his mistake. However, he still had to thank him. After all, his biological son could not serve his parents. Sijiucheng pointed to his brother-in-law He Yuzhu and his sister to take care of their parents.
, he felt guilty after all.
He Xiao sat in the passenger seat and listened to his father and uncle chatting for a while. Feeling bored, he turned to look out the window and saw many tall buildings.
In addition to the tall buildings, vehicles on the road, and construction sites everywhere, what dazzled He Xiao the most were the pedestrians on the road.
In the late 1970s, they had just experienced a depression, and the high-pressure rule of the four major detectives and the four major families was gone. Ordinary people in Xiangjiang felt that their lives were colorful again, and their clothes were very fashionable.
The weather is very hot in August, and you can see tank tops, miniskirts, black stockings, deep V, and backless clothes everywhere.
When He Yuzhu first arrived, everyone was a little surprised, let alone He Xiao.
Through the car window, he watched the scenery along the way, and He Xiao was also excited: Xiangjiang is indeed the metropolis that mainlanders yearn for.
Arrive at Lou's villa.
Before the vehicle had parked, Lou Minghe's six wives and several children at home who were not at school all ran out to greet him.
This was all given by Lou Minghe in advance. He was afraid that his nephew would be cautious when he arrived, so he specifically told his family to be more welcoming.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, sixth sister-in-law, please excuse me."
He Yuzhu greeted six women, all of whom were Lou Minghe's wives.
He Xiao saw Wuyangyang's group of people coming to greet him and was frightened. His uncle was so good at marrying wives. He married six at once, but he didn't have many children. There were seven in total, five girls and two boys.
Lou Minghe introduced He Xiao, and He Xiao quickly called her aunt, cousin, cousin, cousin.
In fact, several of Lou Minghe's family portraits were brought back to the mainland, and He Xiaolai recited them specially before arriving.
Now that we have met in person and matched up with the person in the photo, I won’t admit my mistake.
When Lou Minghe married his wife, he was completely independent. In order not to be like his father, Lou Zhendong, who was a strict henkeeper, he found wives and concubines from small families.
These six women came from poor backgrounds, and most of them came from the old society. They were relatively submissive to the three wives and four concubines. They stayed at home on weekdays and were relatively harmonious.
When Lou Minghe celebrated the birthdays of his two children before, He Yuzhu came to visit and gave everyone gifts, which were relatively expensive.
Therefore, when the adults and children of the Lou family saw He Yuzhu coming, they were very kind and even prepared quite a few gifts for He Xiao.
He Xiao entered the house and quickly received the gift without mercy.
Gifts from adults usually include watches and clothes, all of which are branded products.
There are also Hong Kong comics, American comics, Japanese comics, pens, calligraphy, oil paintings, etc. for children.
Fourteen people gave nearly twenty gifts, which were piled together and occupied a large space.
He Xiao couldn't take it either, so he looked at his father for help.
Lou Minghe made the decision and asked his eldest son Lou Zewen, who was good at speaking Mandarin, to accompany He Xiao to the guest room.
Lou Zewen is eighteen years old this year. He has just finished Form 5 and will go to college next year. He is still very kind to his cousin He Xiao.
Perhaps it is because both of them are the eldest members of the family and will accept the family business in the future.
The two people placed the gifts in the guest room.
He Xiao was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Lou Zewen: "Cousin, don't go down yet. Dinner will take a while. It's boring to go down now."
"Cousin, if you don't go down, it will be boring upstairs."
He Xiao looked puzzled. He didn't know much about the customs in Xiangjiang, and he still carried the vigorous vitality of China.
Lou Zewen pointed at the gift with a smile and said: "How can you be bored? Open the gifts. First, take a look at the gifts my mother and others gave you. You must have never read these comics. Let me tell you, they are super exciting...
"
Hong Kong comics, American comics, and Japanese comics do have a lot of exciting content, all designed to attract the attention of young people.
Under the guidance of his cousin, He Xiao opened the gift and read a few copies. His eyes were attracted and he suddenly realized that the comics outside were really much better than those in the mainland.
Seeing that he had caught his cousin's attention, Lou Zewen smiled and started the normal chat mode: "Cousin, if you come to Xiangjiang this time, will you come back?"
"Let's go back. My dad said he would take me out for a month as a graduation trip."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Xiao heard Lou Zewen's question and raised his head politely. Seeing his cousin's look of pity, he put down the comic in his hand and said with a smile: "Cousin, Xiangjiang
Is there any fun place? My dad told me to make my own travel plan, but I don’t know anything about Xiangjiang.”
"There must be a lot of fun places in Xiangjiang," Lou Zewen was about to brag about the adult world he had just discovered recently, when he suddenly remembered that He Xiao was only fifteen years old, and some of the colorful worlds were forbidden to enter and exit. He quickly stopped talking and his eyes rolled.
stand up.
"Cousin, how about I take you shopping? It would be a shame to not go shopping when you come to Xiangjiang."
"Shopping? That's okay," He Xiao doesn't like shopping. When Lou Xiao'e goes out with her friends, He Xiao doesn't like to follow them.
But thinking about the scenery he saw on the way, He Xiao felt that shopping in Xiangjiang might make him happy.
Lou Zewen began to give He Xiao pointers on where the commercial streets are prosperous, where the amusement parks are fun, where the goods are of all brands, and where are the places where young people like to play most.
The two of them were chatting for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, my cousin Lou Zeru knocked on the door and said that dinner was ready.
Lou Zewen and He Xiao reluctantly went downstairs.
After a full meal, He Yuzhu said goodbye.
He Xiao was going to stay in the Lou family. This was what Lou Minghe had agreed to in advance.
However, He Yuzhu couldn't stay any longer. After all, he had many things to do.
"Dad, why do you want to leave?"
The Lou family gave the father and son a separate space, but He Xiao was a little reluctant to part with the father and son.
Part of the reason is that he is a little curious about where He Yuzhu will live after leaving the Lou family.
When they were in Sijiu City, He Yuzhu's family often stayed at his grandfather's house. In He Xiao's eyes, the He family and the Lou family were one family.
He Yuzhu has already gone to Lou's house, why do he still want to live outside?
He Xiao was puzzled.
Secondly, He Xiao was a little reluctant to leave. This was the first time he had completely left his parents when he grew up. Although he was a little excited, he was also a little scared.
"Didn't Dad tell you? In Xiangjiang, Dad also has work to do. He has been back to the mainland for almost two months and has accumulated a lot of work. Dad always has to go to work."
He Yuzhu said a few times, but seeing that his son was still a little sad, he had to persuade again: "Don't worry, I made an agreement with your uncle, and let him send someone to take you to dad's company tomorrow."
He Yuzhu persuaded his son, comforted his son, and asked Lou Minghe to arrange for a driver to take him away.
The place where Lou's family is located is a high-end community, and it is not very convenient to take a taxi.
Seeing He Yuzhu leave, He Xiao didn't feel sad for long, because Lou Zewen took him upstairs to play video games. When he went upstairs, he started teasing:
"Cousin, please don't disturb my uncle. The adults have their own entertainment, and we have ours. I'll take you to play the game console."
"My dad has gone to work," He Xiao heard the ridicule in his cousin's tone and was a little unhappy.
"Tch, that's what my uncle said, do you really believe it?" Lou Zewen was a little arrogant at this time, using his own poor thinking to explain: "Do you know what my uncle's company does? It's foreign trade.
Companies and foreign trade companies deal with people. When dealing with this man, he means going to nightclubs, karaoke bars, and massage parlors. As the big boss, my uncle must be a frequent visitor to these places... Well, don't you know, what?
Call it a nightclub?"
When Lou Zewen saw He Xiao looking at him in confusion, he quickly explained the names of these places.
What are the main functions of places like nightclubs are also described.
It just so happened that Lou Zewen just turned eighteen this year. During the summer vacation in July, he secretly used money to go there with some classmates and friends to have fun there several times.
The young lady in the nightclub made Lou Zewen realize what happiness is.
He Xiao's eyes were red and his ears were red. He didn't expect that Xiangjiang would be so open. He subconsciously whispered: "Isn't this place a brothel?"
"Absolutely," Lou Zewen couldn't tell the difference between the two. He pulled He Xiao to his bedroom and took out the electric toy.
He Xiao also wanted to learn more novel knowledge, but his attention was quickly attracted by electric toys.
Electric toys connected to the TV have become popular in the past two years.
The minimum price of a video game is several thousand Hong Kong dollars.
The number of games inside is also very small.
Lou Zewen's station only has six tennis games.
It was the first time for He Xiao to see such a simple video game. The two of them played it until early in the morning, and then they were so tired that they washed up and went to bed.
The next day, He Xiao was still thinking about playing video games. After breakfast, he was called to his side by Lou Minghe: "Grand nephew, come with me. I will take you to our company."
"Okay, uncle."
He Xiao couldn't resist the adults' arrangements.
Fortunately, Lou Zewen was very loyal and came out with him.
