There are thousands of families, and each situation is different.
Even if it's the same New Year's Eve, it still looks as beautiful as a cluster of flowers.
But there are still differences between different families.
Even if they are of the same blood and origin.
In the living room of the villa in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong, the family and grandchildren of the Hung parents are also having fun playing cards to pass the time.
Hong Fucheng's two step-wives, one brought his daughter Hong Xinyi, and the other brought his daughter-in-law to a table of mahjong.
Their respective sons started a poker game and played "Hoe Big D" beside them.
This family, with their anxious faces and white faces, yelling and screaming, were having a great time playing.
But compared with the Hong family in the capital, their source of excitement is purely about money.
In terms of dignity, they are not as good as those servants who serve them tea and water and wait quietly beside them.
In the underground "cigar room", father and son Hong Fucheng and Hong Yankang each had a cigar and a glass of "cognac" in their hands.
It looks more radiant and moisturized.
(Note: Cognac is the transliteration of Cognac. It is originally the name of a town in France. Because of its specialty grape distilled wine, it is famous for its high quality. Over time, people have directly used Cognac as the name of the wine. In addition, any other
The grape distilled wine produced in the region can be called brandy. Therefore, Cognac is a product with a geographical indication. Similar to "Champagne", sparkling wine produced by natural aeration methods anywhere except the Champagne region of France.
They can only be called “grape sparkling wine”.)
It seems that this is thanks to the implementation of the linked exchange rate system this year.
After the stabilization of the foreign exchange market, the effect has also been transmitted to Hong Kong's property market and stock market.
The Hong family's industry has naturally benefited, so the situation this year is much better than last year, and the debt burden has been reduced a lot.
It's just that the father and son were so harmonious that they didn't chat for long.
Hong Yankang once again made his father unhappy by bringing up the old story of wanting to return to Beijing and talking about mainland China's increasingly relaxed policies.
The more enthusiastic Hong Yan was, the colder Hong Fucheng became.
The "top leader" of the family said in a subtle way that the family business had just come out of trouble and would need to be stabilized for some time and could not do without the eldest son.
Moreover, external propaganda should not be taken lightly. They are all lies to beautify oneself. He also said that he has been involved in politics his whole life and knows best how officials can fool the people. If he really believed it, he would be stupid...
It should be said that Hong Lucheng has been immersed in the political arena of the "Three Parties" for many years.
Not only did he work from Beijing to Chongqing, but he eventually became deputy inspector general of the Secrecy Bureau.
Based on his understanding of politics, these remarks obviously carry a certain weight.
It's just that Hong Yankang couldn't let go of his family and was very attached to his hometown. He was not unprepared to convince his father this time.
At this time, he also said that he had met the young master of the Rong family in Hong Kong through his wife's family.
His father is known as the "Red Capitalist" and now also holds an important position in the Republic.
The Rong family has made it clear that they are willing to guarantee the personal and property safety of all Hong Kong businessmen going to the mainland.
If you are inclined to invest, they will do their best to provide convenience.
Therefore, he believes that this matter is feasible, there should be no risk, and the mainland's population also contains business opportunities.
According to him, it is for the benefit of the family.
Even if I can't find my second uncle's family, I should still go to the capital for a walk.
Perhaps the opportunity for the Hong family to revive their ancestral business lies in the capital.
Even if the investment environment is not ideal.
But to say the least, spending a million to revive the old name in Beijing is worthy of our ancestors.
Maybe we can find our lost relatives through this.
If we could really meet him, we would feel at ease.
If the second uncle is in a bad situation, giving the shop to them can help their lives.
And with the kind of people the second uncle and second aunt are, they would never ask for more...
Hong Yankang thought he had thought very carefully and was talking to himself, but did not notice the change in his father's face.
Among the three brothers of the Hong family, Hong Fucheng, who has been in politics for many years, is a man with a very varied temperament.
His stoic and cold-blooded side is his face in officialdom.
At this time, he sneered, and it was with this look that he interrupted his son.
"Okay, stop talking. What's so good about Beijing? It has nothing to do with us anymore. We don't have to go to Taiwan to suffer. It's a real blessing to be able to take root in Hong Kong safely."
"You don't have to imagine too much about the current capital. When the army enters the city, which dynasty or generation is not undergoing a major reshuffle? The red party is also a poor party, and they hate the rich very much. The capital must be full of miscellaneous people."
"I'm afraid if you pick up a random person on the street, his or her parents are either soldiers, or they are refugees who have fled. There may be a few real old Beijingers left. What business opportunities can you talk about in a capital like this?"
"Also, the eldest house is the eldest house, and the second house is the second house. In terms of growing up, we are no longer the same thing. I think when I pulled your second uncle, it was because he wanted to go back. I really want to do it again.
How awkward would it be to meet? Was I wrong or was he wrong? "
"In the final analysis, since this is his own choice, he has to bear the consequences. And not only him, but also me. The imprint of a military commander makes me have to live here all my life. What should I complain about?
…”
This statement made Hong Yankang speechless.
He couldn't help but plead and called "Dad", but he didn't say a few words before he opened his mouth.
Hong Fucheng was completely impatient.
"Okay, that's it. Don't mention this matter again in the future. Again, I'm old. What I want is peace and peace. Don't make any more trouble. Go out, I want to be alone for a while.
meeting……"
As he said that, he blew out a puff of smoke, then leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Although his eyes were closed, his face was solemn and solemn, full of power, and people couldn't help but think of the Jade Emperor.
It was obvious that he was expressing his heartfelt dislike for his son.
Hong Yankang was speechless at this time. He only knew that his father was cold, but he didn't expect it to be so cold.
He originally thought that it was his brothers of the opposite sex who were preventing him from returning to Beijing, and that his father would eventually appreciate some brotherly love.
Now it seems that he was wrong. He will no longer place any hope on his father, and he will not miss this family at all...
There are no absolutes in this world.
Even though it’s the same rejection, it’s the same “it’s better not to see each other”.
But sometimes it's not really indifferent, but rather warm.
It's even quite hot, enough to melt the most helpless tears.
For example, at the Beijing Airport, "Ciermei" was shedding tears as she bid farewell to an "international friend".
When they finally parted, "Ciermei" reluctantly held each other's hand and refused to let go.
"Xin'er, you just left like this? You've only been back for a few days, didn't you agree to stay for the holidays? You didn't even eat dumplings, and you left so suddenly..."
The "Japanese friend" had a bandage on the right half of his face.
The other half of the face, which can be called beautiful, showed a hint of depression and helplessness.
"I've seen everything I need to see, and I've understood everything I need to know. Why are you staying here if you don't leave?"
"The capital is now my sad place. What's the point if I can't celebrate the festival? I will never come back again."
"Remember, after Tang Xin'er died, there will be no such person in the world. There will only be a Japanese-Korean, Kim So-yeon."
Then he said to "Cimei'er" comfortingly, "But don't think too much, we will always be good sisters. If you want to see me, it's okay. We can still meet in Shanghai. I'm thinking about it too."
I’ll find a way to get you a passport, and then I’ll take you to have fun in Japan.”
"Ciermei" forced herself to smile, but then choked up again.
"Are you...are you really willing? Do you really not regret it? I know you, your temper, and you shouldn't give up so easily. Do you...do you even hate Xiao Wu?"
These words finally made the "international friends" a little excited.
"Yes, I am not willing to accept it! I do hate it! Whoever robs me will have to make him pay the price!"
But then she restrained herself for a while, and her sadness replaced her gritted teeth.
"But...but I also know that most of this is my fault. It's my own fault. I can't blame others. Xiao Wu is willing to wait for me for so long and bury him like his wife. He is already very worthy of me..."
"Even she is... I can't imagine that she has paid so much for such a motherless child. She is a good person... She reminds me of my master 'Sister Agou' and my godmother
…”
"So...so...I hate myself! I can't take away their happiness! Especially to her, I can't do it! Seeing her with that child reminds me of my childhood. Maybe I
You can hurt anyone viciously, but you can't lay a finger on her...you...do you understand?"
When she said this, she burst into tears.
And these words were like an emotional disaster, completely causing the two women to hold each other's arms and cry.
Everyone around them looked at them with suspicion, and no one knew why they were howling on this special day.
Everyone was as cold as the lights at the airport, and even avoided them.
