I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 45: News about Sophora japonica
Sijiu City, Nanluogu Lane.
It was mid-November, the season between late autumn and early winter. Residents of the northern city had already put on cotton-padded jackets.
Director Wang from Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, accompanied by two police officers from Beixinqiao Police Station, arrived at Courtyard No. 95 on time.
It is now the time when the steel mill workers are going home after get off work, and the residents in the courtyard are busy preparing dinner.
Yan Bugui, who was standing at the door of the west wing in the front yard, greeted Director Wang from the Street Office and two police officers with a smile on his face when he saw them coming.
"Director Wang, you still have to deal with official business after get off work? It's really tiring. I wonder what business do you have in coming to my compound No. 95 this time?" Yan Bugui nodded and bowed as he walked forward to ask Director Wang.
"Oh! They came for the Jia family in the west wing of the central courtyard. There is news about their little girl Huaihua." Director Wang answered casually. It's not a secret anyway, and everyone in the courtyard will know it sooner or later.
Is there any news about Xiao Huaihua? The little granddaughter of the Jia family has been missing for more than three months. Qin Huairu went to the police station to report the case. Unexpectedly, the police station was so efficient in handling the case.
The neighbors in the front yard began to whisper. Some people who were curious had already followed the police into the middle yard to watch the excitement.
Director Wang led the police into the Jia family's house. Bang Geng, who was having dinner, was so frightened when he saw the police coming to his house that his face turned pale. He thought they were here to arrest him!
Soon, the front door of Jia's west wing was surrounded by neighbors. They were eager to know what happened to Jia's little granddaughter? Is she alive or dead?
"We are here today to tell you that there is news about your Jia Huaihua. She is currently in Hong Kong, so please don't worry about her anymore."
As Director Wang spoke, he took out an opened letter and handed it to Qin Huairu. Now, all letters sent from overseas must be opened and inspected by the subdistrict police station.
Qin Huairu unfolded the letter and saw that it was written by Lou Zhenhua in the name of his daughter Lou Xiao'e. Qin Huairu was furious on the spot!
"Director Wang, my little daughter must have been abducted by Lou Xiao'e! The letter said that she met Huaihua on the streets of Xiangjiang. How could such a coincidence happen? How far is Xiangjiang from here? How did Huaihua get there? Director Wang, please make the decision for our family."
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and asked the government to make the decision for her. This put Director Wang and the two police officers in a difficult position! Hong Kong is now a British colony and an overseas region. They have no power to control it!
In fact, Huaihua had been missing for more than three months, and Qin Huairu had long since given up hope. Her family had also gradually forgotten about Huaihua, and Qin Huairu just pretended that she had never given birth to this daughter.
Now that Director Wang and colleagues from the police station had come to inform her of the news, she was just being perfunctory on the surface, standing up as a mother to express her attitude.
Director Wang could only comfort them with a few words. They had all read the letter, and they all believed that Lou Xiao'e had kidnapped Xiao Huaihua from the Jia family. How could such a coincidence exist in the world? But now she was in Hong Kong, and they had no way to do anything.
The two police officers took out their notebooks and began to ask about the Jia family's connection with overseas. They had also read the letters and knew that the Jia family had no connection with overseas. But this was just a routine matter!
After Director Wang and the police finished their routine work and left, the neighbors came in to find out what was going on. When they learned that Huaihua was now with Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong, they were all in an uproar.
"It must be Lou Xiao'e who kidnapped Huaihua! Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?"
"I saw that Lou Xiao'e was so nice to Huaihua before, and it turns out she had an ulterior motive. She must have wanted to kidnap Huaihua a long time ago!"
"Don't forget! Lou Xiao'e can't give birth to a child. Now we've kidnapped a ready-made one!"
There was also an aunt who said with envy that Huaihua followed Lou Xiao'e to Hong Kong to enjoy life. She was immediately criticized by many people, saying that she yearned for the decadent bourgeois lifestyle. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and ran back home in shame, closing the door and bolting it!
The neighbors were talking about it! They were saying all kinds of things. Sha Zhu stood on the corridor in front of his door, his brows furrowed and he said nothing.
He had no interest in caring whether Huaihua was kidnapped or not. He was always thinking about Lou Xiaoe!
When he learned from Liu Lan in the cafeteria that Lou Xiao'e's family ran away because of Xu Damao's coercion, he went over and beat Xu Damao up. But even so, he could not win back Lou Xiao'e.
Now that he knew that Lou Xiao'e was currently in Hong Kong, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was safe now! But then he thought again, she was now in the enemy camp of socialism. Suddenly, his heart was chilled again.
When Lou Xiao'e left, she had agreed to stay with him for a year. Now he had given up hope. Would she be able to come back after a year? If she ran away to overseas like she did, she would be convicted of a serious crime if she came back.
The jade bracelet that Lou Xiao'e gave him as a token of love. During the months of separation, he often secretly took it out at night to touch and look at it, as if he was touching Lou Xiao'e.
He suddenly turned back to the main room, closed the door, found the jade bracelet, wrapped it with a piece of cloth, pried a brick from under the bed, and buried the jade bracelet underground. Just like burying his lost love!
Last month, Qin Huairu took the initiative to talk to him. She directly expressed her desire to marry him. At that time, he hesitated and did not give a clear answer.
Now he has given up. It's time to give Qin Huairu an answer! He will be 32 years old next year, and he doesn't have much youth to wait for Lou Xiaoe.
Because Li Huaide disliked the canteen's current special cooking, Sha Zhu was transferred back to the canteen last month to continue cooking special meals to serve these officials. He also returned to his previous normal state and continued to provide lunch boxes for Qin Huairu every day.
Qin Huairu, who almost lost Sha Zhu, now holds Sha Zhu even tighter. Every day, she flirts with him and speaks to him more and more directly. She looks like she is waiting for you to pick her!
Sha Zhu has given up resistance now! He urgently needs a wife and children to live in.
Lou Mansion, Hillier Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
Ever since the Wei family moved to the new house they bought, Jingyi has been repeatedly nagging Lou Xiaoe that she wants to live in a room by herself.
During this period, Lou Xiao'e and she were inseparable, and they slept in the same bed. She hadn't been able to enter the space peacefully for a long time!
Only by using the excuse of going to the toilet could she rush into the space and adjust the time flow rate inside to ten to one. She hurriedly played two songs, drank two sips of the beauty spring water, and then slipped out at the right time.
But Lou Xiao'e was still in the freshness of being a mother, and it would be too uncomfortable to sleep with a little kid in her arms at night. She immediately rejected her suggestion!
She was now even ruthlessly deprived of the opportunity to go out alone. If she had known this would happen, she would have spent another year or two outside before returning to Lou Xiao'e.
With nothing to do in Lou Mansion, she could only listen to the radio and watch TV. Now in the whole Hong Kong area, there are only two commercial radio stations and a British-controlled TV station ATV, Rediffusion Television. It will be Asia Television in the future! Like her famous TVB in her previous life, it is now nowhere to be found.
At present, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is still a desert. The radio and TV broadcasts some European and American pop music and classical music. There are also a few Taiwan Mandarin songs! And Cantonese is now mainly Cantonese opera and folk songs!
Sam Hui is the pioneer of Cantonese pop songs in Hong Kong. The first Cantonese pop song in Hong Kong was "Half a Catty, Eight Taels" written by him in 77, which also made him the first person in the Cantonese pop music scene.
Jingyi thought about it and agreed! The Cantonese pop music scene in Hong Kong was created too recently, so there aren't many pop songs of its own. It's usually a classic song with several different versions of the lyrics.
She also covers songs from various countries. Like the legendary singer Xiao Ri Zi Jia, she has created more than 600 songs, including more than 70 classic songs, which have been dubbed in Cantonese and Mandarin and covered by many Hong Kong singers. It can be said that she alone has supported the pop music scene in Hong Kong.
If this is the case, she won't feel too guilty when she claims that her songs are original. If you don't rush to release original songs first, future singers will also cover other people's songs.
Jingyi calculated her age again. When she turned 20, it was exactly 1981. This was the era when the Hong Kong entertainment industry was just beginning to flourish, and she just happened to catch this wave of dividends.
Of course, it was difficult for her to remember all the lyrics and arrangements of the Cantonese songs in her previous life. Jingyi could only ask the platform customer service for help.
"There are a large number of CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives and old-fashioned cassette tapes on the shopping platform. There are 300 selected Cantonese songs and 1,000 Cantonese classics. If users need them, the platform customer service can download them for a fee."
The introduction by the platform customer service gave Jingyi confidence. But she was still young and it was not the time for her to open her voice.
She found a local maid who spoke Cantonese most clearly and started learning Cantonese with her. It is said that children learn spoken language the fastest, and Jingyi is no exception.
In just a few months, she was able to speak the local dialect fluently. People who didn't know her would think she was a native Hong Konger.
