Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 326 Accompanying Uncle Chen Haoyu Back to Hong Kong

At five o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, who lived in the Kuangfu Nursing Home, happily returned to the Kuangfu Nursing Home after celebrating the New Year at their daughter Luo Xiuli's home.

Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo told sister-in-law Hao Xia the good news that the funds raised by Luo Xiuli and her relatives and friends in the unfinished clothing wholesale city would be returned.

There was no need to rush to sell the ancestral home of Uncle Robert and Aunt Robert to pay off their daughter's debts. The days of anxiety for Uncle Robert and his daughter's family were finally over, and they had a happy New Year.

The lost fundraising funds were recovered, and the fierce conflicts between Luo Xiuli and her relatives and friends who were introduced by her to participate in the fundraising of the unfinished clothing wholesale city due to the loss of fundraising funds were completely eased.

Luo's mother said solemnly, "Unfortunately, the relative who was hospitalized for cancer and had no money to pay for the surgery because the fundraising money could not be returned has passed away. For this, Luo Xiuli always has a deep sense of self-blame and guilt. Whenever she mentions this matter, she can't help but cry."

Sister-in-law Hao Xia consoled him, "The dead cannot be resurrected, Sister Luo, don't let your imagination run wild. The result of the clothing wholesale city fund-raising event was satisfactory. All the hard-earned money was recovered. Fu Minghui is still a conscientious person. Be more careful in the future. We should never believe in those pie-in-the-sky stories about getting rich overnight."

After the Lantern Festival, the children returned to school, and the adults also returned to their respective positions and started working in an orderly manner. Uncle Chen Haoyu sat at the desk in the study every day, paying attention to the news and information about Hong Kong's return from time to time:

On December 1984, 12, China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, confirming that Hong Kong would return to China on July 19, 1997, and would implement the "one country, two systems" policy, maintaining the capitalist system and lifestyle unchanged for 7 years.

In 1990, the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was passed, providing a legal basis for the governance of Hong Kong under the framework of "one country, two systems".

Immigration wave. Some Hong Kong people felt uncertain about the future after the return, which led to an immigration wave. Many people moved to Canada, Australia and other places.

As the return approaches, there is more discussion on democracy and freedom in society, and various social movements are gradually emerging.

The anxiety and expectations on the eve of the return have created a complex mentality among all sectors of Hong Kong society. There are expectations for the return, but also concerns about the future, especially doubts about whether the "one country, two systems" policy can be truly implemented.

My great uncle, Chen Haoyu, is also worried about the uncertainty of Hong Kong's future, and even more so about the Chen Group's industries in Hong Kong. The "public-private partnership in the early days of liberation" and "looting and smashing during the Cultural Revolution" reduced the property of landlords and capitalists to zero. Long live the proletariat. After Hong Kong's return, the fate of Hong Kong capitalists is still unclear, and we can only take it one step at a time.

On a weekend morning, after breakfast, Qian Yizhen helped his uncle Chen Haoyu to the study. The housekeeper Xiao Wang cleaned the Kung Fu tea set, put the tea leaves in place, and left the study after everything was ready.

Qian Yizheng started the work slowly as usual, handing in homework, reporting work, drinking Kung Fu tea, having in-depth communication, and having a wonderful time making efficient decisions to his great uncle Chen Haoyu...

Uncle Chen Haoyu said, "Yizhen, please arrange your work and accompany me to Hong Kong for a while. I am old now, and I will miss the chance to go there one less time."

Qian Yizhen said, "Okay. Yizhen, in all your actions, follow the instructions of your great uncle. What date do you plan to leave? I'll send someone to book a plane ticket."

Uncle Chen Haoyu looked at the calendar and said, "The 26th of the first lunar month is a good day. Let's go to Hong Kong. You talk to Han Shiyan and see if she is willing to go to Hong Kong with us."

Qian Yizhen calculated the time and found that there were still nine days until the date confirmed by his great uncle Chen Haoyu to go to Hong Kong. He stood up and said to his great uncle Chen Haoyu: "Uncle, you must be tired. You should have a good rest. It's time to end the get out of class, hehe."

....

At 3 pm on the 26th day of the first lunar month, my great uncle Chen Haoyu, housekeeper Li Xiaoquan, Qian Yizhen, Han Shiyan, and my great uncle's personal housekeeper Xiao Wang, arrived in Hong Kong on a plane. My cousin Chen Mengwei and my cousin Chen Jinting met them at the airport.

The luxury van carried my uncle Chen Haoyu, my aunt Chen Mengwei, my cousin Chen Jinting, the housekeeper Li Xiaoquan, Qian Yizhen, Han Shiyan, and the housekeeper Xiao Wang, and finally arrived at my uncle Chen Haoyu's villa in the wealthy area of ​​Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.

Kowloon Tong is located in the northern part of Kowloon, Hong Kong, China. Most of its area is in the Kowloon City District, located south of Lion Rock, north of Boundary Street, east of Shek Kip Mei, and west of Kowloon City and Lok Fu.

This area is a rare low-density development area in Hong Kong's urban area. It is mainly composed of bungalows and villas. The environment is quiet, so it attracts many middle- and upper-class people to live in. There are many famous schools in this area, which is the main famous school area in Kowloon. In addition, this area is also famous for its clock hotels and nursing homes.

Housekeeper Xiao Wang helped Uncle Chen Haoyu out of the car and handed the crutch to the old man. Uncle Chen Haoyu walked slowly into the living room with the crutch.

The two Filipino maids bowed and welcomed my uncle Chen Haoyu and his group, served them drinks, and then went to prepare dinner.

Han Shiyan said: "Sister Yizhen, you don't know much about Hong Kong's domestic services. Let me give you a brief introduction. You can also communicate with the Filipino maids face to face. Maybe it will be helpful to improve the domestic service level of Minzhen Qizhi Company."

Qian Yizhen said with a smile: "Sister Han Shiyan, you are thoughtful. I am all ears. Please speak."

Han Shiyan said: "Filipino maids are domestic workers from the Philippines. They are called "foreign domestic workers" or "domestic helpers" in Hong Kong. Filipino maids are usually professionally trained in domestic services, can communicate in English, and are known for their high quality and quality service.

There are also domestic workers from other countries, such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand and Vietnam. They are called "workers" or "sisters" (Cantonese) in Hong Kong, and are collectively referred to as: "foreign domestic workers".

In addition, Hong Kong has special government agencies, such as the Labour Department and the Immigration Department, to manage the relevant matters of these foreign domestic service workers, including remuneration, welfare benefits and employment agency services.

Qian Yizhen asked: "How much do domestic workers earn in Hong Kong?"

Han Shiyan said: "Hong Kong maids have lower salaries, but they have complete benefits, a wide range of work, a complicated hiring process, and stronger legal protection."

Uncle Chen Haoyu said: "Yizhen, I brought you to Hong Kong this time because I want you to learn more about Hong Kong, understand all aspects of Hong Kong's politics, economy, humanities and society, experience Hong Kong's current situation and its economic development speed that is ahead of the rest of China. At the same time, I want to introduce you to my friends in the Hong Kong business community, so that you can visit and experience the charm of Hong Kong.

Understand and grasp the deep meaning of Hong Kong, which is an important international financial, trade and shipping center in the Asia-Pacific region, known as the world's third largest financial center, and is called "New York, London and Hong Kong" together with New York and London.

The main purpose of my great uncle Chen Haoyu's return to Hong Kong this time was to hire a lawyer and prepare a series of legal documents regarding the personnel and property management of the Chen Group, improve his will, and prepare for his funeral.
