Hong Yankang officially moved into the Totou Xiaoyang Mansion.
He was placed in the one-bedroom apartment on the second floor with a window facing west.
Although it has western sunlight and the orientation is not good, this is what he asked for.
Because the room facing the best in the small western-style building was originally the suite where Hong Shoucheng lived.
The exterior windows face east and the bedroom faces south.
For the sake of his father, Hong Yanwu has tried his best to restore the apartment to its original appearance.
There is still a photo of Hong Shoucheng and Zeng Wanhua hanging on the wall of the living room.
In this way, when Hong Lucheng came to the small foreign-style building, he could go and sit inside to comfort himself from missing his relatives.
Hong Yankang couldn't help but ruin Hong Yanwu's filial piety by occupying his third uncle's room.
As for the remaining rooms, the one with the attic has the best orientation.
But Hong Yanwen's family moved in early.
And their little daughter Hong Zhu especially likes to play in the attic.
So even if Hong Yanwen takes the initiative to give in, Hong Yankang can't take away people's beauty.
In this way, he could only choose one of the two remaining empty rooms.
But to be honest, this room also has a unique advantage.
That is to bring a square-shaped balcony that is more than ten meters long.
The flower columns on the balcony are like strings of pearls, novel and unique.
The windows are also covered with a row of blinds decorated with rows of flowers, and there are green awnings on the windows.
In the evening here, the scenery of the sunset is very beautiful.
It would be very enjoyable if I could sip cold beer and sit on the balcony at this time.
Moreover, Hong Yanwu installed air conditioning in the rooms on the second floor and had separate bathrooms.
Even if it's the hottest time, with the help of these modern facilities, it's not really hard.
Besides, after living here for so many days, how could Hong Yankang ever feel bored at home?
His brothers and sisters took turns taking turns to spend time with him.
Warmly and kindly, he took him to see this capital city that he was once familiar with, but now has been washed away by time and feels extremely unfamiliar.
For example, on June 18, Hong Yankang visited the Forbidden City and Zhongshan Park accompanied by Hong Yanwen.
At noon, we sat under the big tree of "Laijin Yuxuan" and ate "Winter Vegetable Steamed Buns", and in the evening we went to Wangfujing to eat "Cuihualou".
On June 19, it was Hong Yanzheng who took him to visit "Beihai", "Jingshan" and "Shichahai".
They had lunch at Fangshan Restaurant.
The two brothers often talked about their childhood memories of visiting the lotus market and boating on the North Sea.
In the evening, we went to Qianmen Street to eat Shaomai from Duyichu.
That was also the restaurant they often visited together when they were young.
On June 20, Hong Yankang decided to take a day off because he was tired.
But in the evening, he couldn't resist the warm invitation of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya.
Along with their family of three, we went to the "European and American Alumni Association" in Nanheyan'er to attend a dinner party hosted by the "Cantonese Promotion Association".
Not only did I have an authentic Western meal, I got to know many relatives of the "Canada Promotion Association" who were also from Hong Kong and returned to Beijing, and I also voted for a night of theater.
He dressed up and sang "Second Entry into the Palace", which received a lot of applause and was very enjoyable.
But what surprised him was that Fu Ruli led him to find Lao Su at the door of the Hong family, who also came with his wife.
Moreover, Lao Su’s wife is also a famous actress in Peking Opera.
The performances of "Suo Lin Nang" and "Selling Water" were both of extremely high standard.
Hong Yankang was fascinated by what he heard.
He believes that such a high-level voice cannot be found in Hong Kong.
Then on June 21st, it was Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's turn to visit again.
Early in the morning, the two of them were going to drive Hong Yankang to the Summer Palace.
It was just that the weather was very hot that day and Hong Yankang was tired from traveling for several days and really didn't want to go to such a far place again.
So he told Hong Yanwu that he just wanted to visit the "Dashilan" in front of his house.
As a result, he did not expect that what was originally intended to save time and effort would actually become more mobilizing.
Because Hong Yanwu called three man-powered three-wheelers and took them out for a trip to the sea.
And I have to say that Hong Yanwu is really good at making arrangements.
It turned this otherwise ordinary day into the most interesting day.
At the first stop in the morning, Hong Yanwu took Hong Yankang to Buyingzhai to buy comfortable cloth shoes.
Then I went to "Ruifuxiang" to buy fresh and loose summer cloth clothes, and "Sheng Xifu" bought a big straw hat.
After Hong Yankang completely got rid of the shackles of suits and leather shoes, he took him shopping again.
And not only shopping, but also shopping, eating, and playing.
For example, in a state-owned food store, I first picked up a basket of fresh longans, two bottles of Qiuli ointment, and two packs of salt and pepper melon seeds.
Then I went to the "Smart Optical Store" and bought a few more pairs of sunglasses.
Later, I bought some Huoxiang Zhengqi water and tiger oil for heatstroke prevention at "Qirentang".
Inadvertently, I saw "Zhengmingzhai" restored as a time-honored brand.
Went in again and bought some mung bean cakes and rose cakes.
Then the three brothers bought two packs of "Daqianmen" from a roadside cigarette stall.
Everyone got back into the rickshaw with cigarettes in their mouths and sunglasses on.
Just like the detective teams in the past, they rushed to the Daguanlou Cinema.
After watching the movie "Homecoming", which is about Hong Kong people visiting relatives in the Mainland, it was time for lunch.
It just so happens that the snack "Baodu Feng" has just been revived as a time-honored brand.
The three brothers ordered ten sesame seed pancakes, a plate each of mushroom heads, tripe kernels, and dandelions, which they ate to their heart's content.
It’s just that I probably ate too much sauce at noon, and I went shopping in the jewelry market in the afternoon, and soon I felt thirsty.
This is also easy to handle.
Under the leadership of Hong Yanwu, the three people took a tricycle to the overpass.
In a simple tea room where the elderly gathered, they happily ordered a pot of tea and listened to the Beijing Qinshu and Beijing rhythm drums.
When I couldn't hold it any longer, an hour and a half later, I went to the toilet to urinate, and I felt a little hungry again.
Nothing else, the three of them entered the snack bar, and each of them got a plate of garlic enema.
At this moment, Hong Yankang seemed to smell the rancid smell unique to the capital, and his index finger twitched.
I couldn’t wait to ask again and again, “Do you have any bean juice?”
As a result, I was so lucky that I actually drank this special fire-reducing drink I had been dreaming of.
He rounded up the remaining five bowls and drank them like water, "tons, tons, tons", just like Wu Song drinking.
Then he wiped his mouth and used the best words to praise, "It's so bad, it's so satisfying!".
This time, not to mention making the store clerk extremely happy, they stretched out their thumbs and praised, "He is an authentic man!"
I also made Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan look stupid.
Because to be honest, the bean juice sold in this store is really not that good.
For really good and famous ones, you have to come early, as they will definitely be sold out before noon.
Since there are still some left, it means it’s not an extraordinary place.
And it's definitely a late night show at this moment, no matter the kohlrabi silk or the focus circle.
Who would have thought that just by talking like that, Hong Yankang could drink it down by raising his neck?
So this can only be said to be nostalgia.
Even though the taste of these bowls of bean juice is not outstanding enough, and there are no side dishes.
But because I haven’t tasted it for many years, this has become a kind of haunting thought.
As long as it is serious bean juice, drinking it in Hong Yankang's mouth is comparable to fine wine.
It's really no use. Either I can't drink bean juice, or I'm so addicted to it that I won't forget it for years.
Hong Yankang's performance is not unusual.
Hong Yanwu's experience in his previous life taught him that many people from the capital often miss the food in their hometown the most when they go overseas.
Such a comparison makes Hong Yanwu, who can't take this drink, look like a native of the capital.
