The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

It's okay to knock, but people still need to be used. Seeing that Lou Bancheng had been honest, He Pingan thanked him for his donation and drew him a big pancake to fill his stomach. With Lao Xu's jokes, the tense atmosphere eased.

"Don't worry, the ship to Tianjin has just set sail. Even if the train is slow, it's still much faster than the ship. As for the gold, you can still make arrangements when you arrive in Hong Kong and Kowloon! Besides, it's just a small amount of gold, so what's the big deal?" He Ping'an looked at Old Xu, who was fidgeting after Lou Bancheng left, and joked.

"Not everyone has the ability of Director He to get something for nothing. Just a trip to the Far East can yield such a huge reward without spending a penny. Just lying down at home, someone will give you a fortune. To be honest, our department looks impressive, but we are actually very poor." Facing He Ping'an's ridicule, Old Xu's face was full of jealousy, and he said sourly:

"Okay, who are you showing this aggrieved look to? I'm not the one who allocates funds to you. At most, I can think of a few more ways for you to make money after I'm done with this!" He Ping'an really couldn't stand a grown man like this.

"Then I would like to thank the God of Wealth on behalf of all our colleagues!" Old Xu got the promise he wanted and returned to his bunk contentedly.

After the episode in Loubancheng, the rest of the trip was uneventful. Apart from eating, drinking, and defecating, there was nothing new every day. He Pingan, who didn't like noise, would wait until the peak meal time was over before going to the dining car to eat. After dinner that day, He Pingan made himself a pot of tea as usual, and then thought about the planning of Hong Kong and Kowloon.

A sudden voice broke He Ping'an's thoughts. "Hello, Uncle He!"

"Xiao'e! Why did you come so late today? The food is almost sold out!" Looking at the well-behaved Lou Xiao'e, He Ping'an thought of He Yushui at home. He wondered if that crazy girl was studying well.

"I've been on the train for several days straight, and I'm a little tired. I took some medicine at noon and just woke up!" Lou Xiao'e replied politely.

"Sit down! This time you go south, I believe your father has already told you that you have to stay in Hong Kong and Kowloon for a few years. Have you thought about what you will do in the future?" Looking at Lou Xiao'e, who is obviously young but gives people the feeling of being as lifeless as rotten wood, He Ping'an decided to persuade her.

"My father said that after everything is settled, he will arrange for me to continue my studies!" Lou Xiao'e was still very serious, polite but fake.

"Reading can open your mind and help you understand reason. It's a good choice. If you have any difficulties in this matter, I can help you. After all, because of this trip south, you lost your ideal husband!" He Ping'an found it funny when he thought of Xu Damao who was played like a clown by the Lou family.

"I have to thank Brother Zhuzi for this. If it weren't for Brother Zhuzi's reminder, my father wouldn't have conducted an in-depth investigation into Xu Damao's family! By the way, I heard Brother Zhuzi complain that you and Uncle He beat him up for this matter. Uncle He, please apologize to Brother Zhuzi for me when you go back!" Probably because she inherited her father's teachings, Lou Xiao'e was as sincere as Lou Bancheng when she lied.

"You are very similar to your father. Two days ago, your father was caught smuggling gold. He is just like you. He is lying with his eyes open, but he appears to be extremely sincere! You should know what your father is thinking, and you should also know what will happen to your eldest brother if the incident goes wrong!"

"Your father treated your eldest brother like this, what about you? Do you know the saying 'a single spark can start a prairie fire'? It's what an old man said. My understanding of this saying is that where there is oppression, there is resistance. Everyone is a free individual, and the various responsibilities we shoulder are mostly shackles that we put on ourselves."

"You know what your shackles are. Now is different from the past. Whether in our country or in the Western world, women's rights are increasingly protected. Gender equality is no longer an empty talk. The old set of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues has long been eliminated by society."

"Finally, I'll give you a word of advice. Even though the person who said it is a villain, I think what he said makes a lot of sense. 'People must rely on themselves!'" He Ping'an really couldn't understand why this smart girl was willing to be at the mercy of others.

"Shackles? Maybe..." Lou Xiao'e looked at He Ping'an's departing back, lowered her head, and a struggle flashed in her eyes.

Just like in the north, He Ping'an did not enter the country through formal channels this time. Considering the presence of Lou Tan and Lou Xiao'e, He Ping'an specially asked Lao Xu to prepare a small fishing boat and sail to Hong Kong and Kowloon at night. Even this scared the mother and daughter of the Lou family. Under the guidance of the comrades on the other side, He Ping'an and his group landed safely without any danger.

"Boss Lou, my friend has already arranged a room. Let's rest here for one night and look for a place to stay tomorrow. Is that okay?" The purpose of this trip was to let Lou Bancheng take root in Hong Kong and Kowloon, so naturally he would be the one leading the way. Hong Kong and Kowloon were different from the north, and He Pingan believed that Lou Bancheng could do well.

"Well! Madam, it's too late, let's just stay here for one night!" Although Lou Bancheng was talking to Lou Tan, his eyes were looking at He Ping'an, who was acting as a bodyguard beside Lou Tan.

"Master, I'll get the luggage now!" Looking at Lou Bancheng who had not yet gotten into the role, He Ping'an hinted helplessly.

Since He Pingan had lived in Beijing since he was a child, he returned to the north after a short time even if he went south. Breathing the humid air, He Pingan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and left this room made of a few wooden boards.

"Mr. He, you haven't slept either?" Old Xu, who was smoking outside, tensed up when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw who was coming, and then his tense body relaxed again.

"Yes, I have lived in the north for many years. I am not used to it when I first arrived. Besides, the smell of the sea is too pungent. It is really hard to accept!" He Pingan lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep puff, and then slowly spoke.

"This is where the refugees live. They have no jobs, so they have to live in places like this. It will be much better when we get to the city tomorrow. Mr. He, if you have any plans for the future, just let me know if you need my help!" Under the moonlight, Old Xu looked around and found nothing unusual, so he asked.

"I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find a way to make money!"

"He... Mr. He, you are not planning to 'get something for nothing' again, are you? This is Hong Kong and Kowloon, a free port. To put it bluntly, you can buy all the goods in the world here! The most important thing is, here... here, there must not be large-scale killings!" When Old Xu heard the word "making money", he instantly thought of He Ping'an's fancy operations in the north.

"Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. The fortune teller said that I was born rich. Whatever I do, my dreams will come true. I plan to go to the casino tomorrow to see if the fortune teller is right."

Looking at his space, He Pingan felt that no one could find out that he was cheating. He hoped that the people in the casino would know better and not force him to cheat. He could have taken the money directly, but he still patiently performed for them. He Pingan really felt that he had improved a lot.
