Exciting 1979!

Chapter 159 Amin, I am writing to you (guaranteed 2 more chapters)
Before reading the contents of the letter, the first thing Lao Gui saw was a photo of four people.

This, this is Jiefang, his wife, and their two children!
Lao Gui touched the photo affectionately. Except for his son who looked a little shabby, his daughter-in-law and grandchildren all looked very outstanding, especially his grandson Wei Ming, a very energetic young man who already had 70% of the charm of his youth!
As for liberation, I can vaguely see the shadow of my childhood, but it’s a pity that I didn’t see peace.

After staring at the photo for a long time, Lao Gui read the letter. Seeing that the Jiefang family was living in harmony and their lives were getting better and better, he smiled with tears in his eyes.

And when he saw his grandson describing his literary achievements, the old man was even more amazed.

Although he didn't know what "Harvest" was, when he left the mainland, "People's Literature" was already very famous, and "Wenhui Daily" has a long history. Both the Hong Kong version and the mainland version are well-known brands!
My grandson can actually publish articles on it, and they are about to be compiled and published. It seems that he is really capable.

Although their Wei family has always been a military family, the eldest brother originally wanted to be a scholar who wanted to be a teacher. Their Wei family also has a tradition of literature and education.

However, his grandson has not forgotten the Wei family's tradition of establishing a family through martial arts, and he can even write martial arts novels. It's a pity that he didn't mail it to him this time. What's more regrettable is that his martial arts were not passed on to Jiefang and Ping'an.

Finally, the grandson asked him to go to the prison to see a man, who was the father of his best friend, a man from Foshan who was imprisoned for participating in a gang.

Lao Gui can go and see, as long as he doesn't reveal his identity, it's not a problem. The problem is that Wei Ming didn't say where Liu Bin is being held.

Whether it is Stanley Prison or Tai Kwun, I'm afraid I'll have to take the trouble to ask people myself.

Lao Gui didn't want to have anything to do with his eldest brother anymore, but seeing how much his grandson and son cared about him, he was willing to make an exception.

Since it is a problem related to the community, let's ask the kid from the Xiang family.

After Zhou Huimin returned home, her mother called her and said, "Come here, Amin. I have something very important to tell you."

Zhou Huimin asked nervously, "What?"

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "That's good news. Mom's public housing application has been approved. We are moving!"

Hong Kong's public housing system is a public housing security system established to solve the housing problems of low-income families. The rent is generally only one-quarter of the market rent.

Orphans and widows like them definitely meet the criteria, but they have been applying for many years as the number is limited after all.

Although the environment of the public housing was not very good, it was definitely much better than the wooden house on the mountain where they lived now. Their place could almost be said to be in the wilderness.

"Besides, that public housing is closer to your school. You are getting older and older. I worry every time you walk on this mountain road after school." Mother Zhou felt that her daughter must be considered a little beauty. There were so many perverts in society now, and she didn't dare to take the risk.

"What about our department store?"

Mother Zhou sighed and said, "Since your grandmother passed away, the department store has become a burden to us. I can't earn as much running this store as working outside."

She took one look at the shabby little department store and said, "It's time to close this place."

Zhou Huimin lowered her head sadly. She knew that what her mother said made sense, but she was still reluctant to leave the place where she had lived for more than ten years.

Mother Zhou added: "You have always liked music, right? After moving to the public housing, it will be convenient for me to enroll you in piano lessons."

"Oh, Mom, you agree to let me learn the piano!" Zhou Huimin said in surprise.

In fact, she had never said before that she wanted to learn the piano because her family was too poor, but her mother had known about it for a long time. Every time she saw a piano in the mall, she couldn't walk, so Zhou's mother had been planning this.

Learning music is really a luxury for a family like theirs. Zhou's mother does not ask her to achieve great success, but only hopes that she will be happy and confident. She will not let her feel that she is worse than other children just because she does not have a father.

Zhou Huimin was moved and threw herself into her mother's arms. She said, "When I learn it, I will teach younger children, so that I can supplement the family income."

Mother Zhou stroked her daughter's curly hair: "Okay, okay."

Now there is only one question left. If I move, what should I do with the replies from my pen pals?

"Mom, when are we going to move there?"

"Wait until mom gets rid of all the goods in the store. It will take at least three or four days," said Zhou's mother. "Oh, by the way, there is a letter for you from a pen pal in mainland China."

"Ah, I've finally waited for this!" Zhou Huimin said happily, "Today many classmates have shared their interactions with pen pals, but I'm the only one who doesn't dare to speak."

After receiving the letter, Zhou Huimin immediately climbed to her upper bunk and opened it.

It begins with “Amin, it’s nice to see you in person”, well, it really seems like he is very cultured.

"I was very surprised to receive this letter. I don't know what fate made us become pen pals. Although there is a gap in age, experience and distance between us, I have decided that you are my friend.

"Since we are friends, I have to say that your mother is right. You must watch TV in moderation. There is no perfect solution for myopia in the foreseeable future. Once you have myopia, it is an incurable disease." Zhou Huimin didn't expect that her mother would nag her, and this pen pal would also nag her. However, the other person is a top student at Peking University. Seeing the words "incurable disease", Zhou Huimin was a little scared.

At worst, I can just watch less in the future.

Wei Ming continued talking about television.

"I am not unfamiliar with televisions. Both the male and international student dormitories at Peking University have television rooms. However, there are few TV programs from the mainland. Most TV series are one or two episodes, and even three episodes are not enough. So I watch less TV and read more. Even when I read, I have to pay attention to my posture and not read in dark places."

After seeing this sentence, Zhou Huimin, who was lying on the bed reading a letter, hesitated for a moment, sat up from the bed and turned on the desk lamp.

Wei Ming: "I heard that Hong Kong's TVB has a rich variety of programs, and the recent "Magic Beach" is also quite popular. Is this true? Don't be surprised how I know this. I also know that the most popular movie star in Hong Kong is called Cheng Long."

Zhou Huimin thought to himself, this must be what Gui Bo told him, yes, it must be like this!

Wei Ming: "I am more interested in Hong Kong movies. Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and the Hui brothers are well-known. Mainland China's movies are currently in a recovery phase, with increasing creative freedom, but they are far less entertaining than Hong Kong movies. The movie I watched recently is called "Death Rays on Coral Island", a science fiction movie."

Zhou Huimin didn't expect that there were science fiction movies in the mainland. She had never seen one in Hong Kong. She had heard of science fiction novels, such as the "Wesley" series. The boys in her class liked to read them, but she was not very interested.

After talking about TV and movies, Wei Ming finally mentioned music.

"I didn't expect you like music, too. I like music from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as Europe and America."

Zhou Huimin was skeptical. Is it really that powerful?

Wei Ming: "I have listened to the songs you mentioned. You have good taste. I often play these songs on repeat. There are also some channels in the mainland where you can listen to songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Seeing Wei Ming praising herself, Zhou Huimin grinned and said, of course!
“But recently I’ve been listening to more European and American music because some of my international student friends have been exposed to world-class musicians such as Queen, the Beatles, and the Carpenters, which is really an ultimate enjoyment.”

Seeing that Wei Ming actually mentioned the Carpenters, Zhou Huimin was so excited that she almost jumped up on the bed. She also liked the Carpenters very much. She didn't mention it in the previous letter because she didn't expect that people in mainland China could also listen to European and American music.

Zhou Huimin resisted the urge to write back to Wei Ming to talk about music and continued reading.

Wei Ming: "I not only like to listen to music, but also studied music creation from a top mainland musician last year. After that, I also wrote a few games, writing lyrics and composing music myself. Fortunately, I have gained a certain degree of fame in mainland China."

Zhou Huimin’s eyes widened. Is this true? He can actually write songs!

But when I think about the fact that he is a student of Peking University after all, the best student among hundreds of millions of people, it seems normal for him to know some music. Hong Kong's great lyricist James Wong is a top student of the University of Hong Kong.

But what made her depressed was that Wei Ming did not talk about his own work, but changed the subject.

"But what I want to talk about today is a song called "Homesickness". This song is very controversial in mainland China. I think it can be regarded as a song that changed the inherent style of mainland music. It has special historical significance. I wrote it down for you to enjoy."

Wei Ming not only wrote the lyrics, but also attached the simple score. However, he also copied it from a magazine, but Zhou Huimin was sure that this person really understood music.

However, this was still a little difficult for 13-year-old Zhou Huimin. Although she was an excellent student in music class at school, she had a hard time singing this song.

I'd better ask the music teacher for advice later.

Zhou Huimin turned to the last page reluctantly, and tonight's communication ended here.

"Let's stop here. I'm very happy to meet you, Amin. I also welcome you to come to the mainland one day to enjoy the famous mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery here. I'm a good photographer and I can be your travel companion. I look forward to receiving your reply as soon as possible.

——Amin. "

Zhou Huimin asked her mother: "Where is our new address?"

Mom flipped through it and found a document: "Here, there."

Zhou Huimin immediately copied it down and began to think about what to write in her reply.

Amin is definitely a very qualified and even excellent candidate for pen pal. She hopes to maintain this relationship for a long time, and after knowing that the other party is a top student from a prestigious university, her mother is also very supportive.

But what exactly is Amin studying? I’ll have to ask him in my next letter.
