Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

On the third day after Zhang Dabao got married, he set off with his wife He Yushui and father-in-law He Daqing. Li Huaide personally sent them to the airport.

After arriving in Hong Kong, He Yushui didn't want to live in a villa, so Zhang Dabao arranged for her to live in a small high-rise building, and she and He Daqing settled down there temporarily.

After arriving in Hong Kong, He Yushui didn't want to stay at home, so Zhang Dabao sent her to university to study, which also fulfilled her university dream. He Yushui learned English, Cantonese, and design there because she liked design.

He Daqing went to work at the restaurant at Huabang's headquarters, and when he arrived, the chef Nan Yi was not there because his wife Feng Chunliu was about to give birth and was now in the hospital.

Zhang Dabao was very busy after arriving in Hong Kong. He went to visit the Lou family on the first day.

Lou Weihua had two sons who came to Hong Kong before the liberation. With the help of Huang Xinsheng, Lou Weihua also reunited with his sons, but they had not lived together for many years, and there was still some unfamiliarity between father and son. Moreover, the two children of the Lou family were not very successful people. They were only slightly better off than ordinary workers. They lived in a small three-bedroom apartment and earned one or two thousand yuan a month. They were not able to support the people from the Lou family.

The mother of Lou Xiaodong and Lou Xiaoliang was Lou Weihua's first wife. Before liberation, Lou Weihua arranged for them to live in Hong Kong. Their abilities were too far behind their father's, so they could only make ends meet. They also had some channels to know that life in China was very difficult. When they knew that their father, second mother, and sister's family had come to Hong Kong, their first feeling was surprise, and then fear, fearing that their father and the second wife's family would affect their current peaceful life.

The person who came to Lou Xiaoliang and Lou Xiaodong to inform them of Lou Weihua's arrival in Hong Kong was a staff member of Huabang Trade, so he was very polite and briefly explained the situation of Lou Weihua and others. He told the Lou brothers that Lou Weihua's family had arrived and knew that you lived here and Lou Weihua lived there, and then left.

After the staff left, the Lou brothers decided to discuss with their mother why their father came to Hong Kong and what his purpose was in coming here.

"Life in the country is difficult, supplies are insufficient, and the country is unfriendly to the former capitalists. It seems your father came here out of necessity," said the mother of the Lou brothers.

"We can support my father now, but what about my sister's family? Her husband's family has three people and two small children. How can we afford to support them?" Lou Xiaoliang said.

"Xiao'e is married now, so she will naturally be supported by the Xu family. Can she still rely on her brother for support? That would be a terrible situation. You guys go and take a look. I'm not going for now," the mother said to the Lou brothers.

Of course the Lou brothers knew they needed to make the trip, because if the staff could find their home, their father would naturally be found as well, and there was no way to avoid it.

A day later, the Lou brothers brought their wives and children to where Lou Weihua lived.

"Brother, isn't our dad going a bit too far? You're here to escape the disaster, why are you putting on airs? Look where they live, it's a villa, and renting a villa is not cheap," said Lou Xiaoliang.

"My father used to be a famous man named Lou Zengcheng, so his living standard was a little higher," said Lou Xiaodong.

"As for showing off, it depends on the circumstances. You can hardly afford to eat now, what's the point of all this fancy moves? I have to talk to him about it," said Lou Xiaoliang.

Lou Xiaodong didn't say anything, but just told his wife and two children how to greet Lou Weihua when they see him later.

"Xiaoliang, Xiaodong, your letters have arrived, come in quickly." The one who opened the door was Lou Tan. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she opened it and saw that it was the two sons of the eldest wife.

"Master, Xiaodong and Xiaoliang are here with the children to see you," Lou Tan shouted upstairs, and Lou Weihua came down from the second floor.

"Dad," the two daughters-in-law spoke, and then the four children called him grandpa.

"The children are so big now? That's great." Lou Weihua was extremely happy when he saw his three grandsons and one granddaughter. He asked them to sit down and talk, and asked the staff who helped at home to bring food to the children.

"Dad, where are my sister and brother-in-law? Didn't the one who came to report the news say that they came with you?" After sitting down and talking for a few words, Lou Xiaodong asked.

"Xiao'e and Damao are next door. Xiao Zheng, go and call Xiao'e over and ask her brother and sister-in-law to come." Lou Weihua said to the staff.

"Okay, Mr. Lou," the staff member opened the door and went out.

"Dad, I feel like you're a little too proud. What's the situation now? Why are you still so concerned about face and showing off? You can just rent a villa for yourself, but you let your sister's family rent one as well. You're only concerned about face. Are you not going to live in the future?" Lou Xiaoliang got angry when he heard that Lou Xiao'e's family lived in another villa.

"Who told you that the villa is rented?" When Lou Weihua heard his son say this, he was stunned and a little unhappy.

"Did you buy it?" Lou Xiaoliang asked.

"No, it's from a friend," said Lou Weihua.

"Dad, stop pretending. You just came here, how can you have friends? This is Hong Kong, not Peking before liberation, and you are not Lou Bancheng anymore. Isn't it better to be down-to-earth? To be honest, my brother and I are not doing well, so you can't have a very good life. I can take care of your food and clothing, but other things may be beyond my ability," said Lou Xiaoliang.

"Xiaoliang, from what I heard from you is that you can take care of my food and drink, but it seems that your second mother and your sister don't care anymore, right?" Lou Weihua also frowned.

"We can't do anything about it," Lou Xiaoliang's attitude was also firm.

"It's okay if you can't take care of it. I don't need you to take care of it. It seems that your mother hasn't educated you well over the years. It's also my fault that you came to Hong Kong at such a young age. But it's not bad that you still think about taking care of your father. Yali, you don't have to give your gift. Talk to Xiao'e, Damao and others. They don't have to take out their gifts either," Lou Weihua turned around and said to Lou Tan.

Lou Tan was angry after hearing what Lou Xiaoliang said, but years of temper cultivation prevented her from losing her temper on the spot. When she heard Lou Weihua say this to her, she nodded and went to the door.

"Daughters-in-law, I was not in Hong Kong when you got married. Looking at the current situation, you must have been wronged. This is a personal gift from me: a set of gold jewelry for each of you." Lou Weihua went upstairs, brought down a few boxes, and gave them to the two daughters-in-law, one big one for each.

"These are for my grandchildren, each one is a golden lock. Grandpa hopes you are safe and sound," Lou Weihua said to the child.

"Thank you, Grandpa." The four children looked at their mother and when they saw their mother nod, they said thank you and accepted the gifts.
