The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan and the others walked into the ancient house. It was really antique and a traditional Lingnan style garden architecture. It really lived up to its name of Yuan Cui Qingfeng! Some small furniture in the house was also made of bamboo and was dotted in it.

Exquisite and elegant, it is really beautiful.

When the old woman in the living room saw Fang Monan and the others come in, she stood up and walked over. The old woman introduced her, "This is my wife, Qiao Fengyi. Fengyi, these are the little friends I just met not long ago."

"Thank you! Cured my husband's illness." Qiao Fengyi took Fang Monan's hand affectionately and said gratefully with a loving look on her face.

"It's a small effort, it's a small effort." Fang Monan smiled and waved his hand and said modestly. "It's not worth mentioning."

Fang Monan changed the subject and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Fang Monan, this is He Junyao, Cheng Shixi. My friends." [

"Oh! Let me also introduce myself, little old man He Hongsen destroys the way and seizes the sky." The old man said with a smile. They both knew each other but didn't know their names yet.

"Macau Gambling King." Cheng Shixi joked.

"Brother Xi is talking nonsense, Macau gambling king Stanley Ho has several wives." In later generations, he has five bedrooms, and now he has at least three bedrooms. "Mr. He is very loyal to his wife!"

As soon as Fang Monan's words came out of her mouth, Qiao Fengyi was overjoyed. No matter how old a woman is, it is absolutely commendable for her husband to be loyal to her, especially when her husband is "finished and handsome." Although he was not handsome when he was young,

, charming and suave, but he also has an upright appearance and a talented person. Otherwise, among the many suitors, he would not have been attracted by his identity. What attracted him was naturally his personality, honest, reliable, hard-working and generous.

He Junyao's eyes flashed slightly, and his black eyes were half-covered, hiding a trace of his thoughts. Nan'er didn't know the man in front of him, but he knew clearly that the status of the man in front of him was no worse than the richest man in Hong Kong Island. It's just that people tend to

Just remember number one.

Mr. Ho in front of him has a legendary life. With Hong Kong's economic boom in the 1970s, his Wing Sun Group has developed vigorously and made great progress. It is now well-known. Its assets are spread across various industries.

"Let's go! Let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating." Qiao Fengyi took Fang Monan's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

The restaurant also has an antique Eight Immortals table, which is filled with traditional Cantonese morning tea. They are all classic refreshments.

The essence of Cantonese morning tea lies in recreational time. Spending time is negative, while recreational time is positive. Therefore, time becomes flavorful, showing the interest and richness of life.

Eating morning tea is the taste of time. People must have this leisurely and leisurely mood. Unlike ordinary teahouses, which only drink tea, Cantonese-style morning tea is rich and luxurious. Tea is just an excuse, and the more common Cantonese-style morning tea is

Desserts, dishes and porridge. Drink tea, read newspapers, meet friends, chat, think about things, and discuss business. Time is empty and needs to be filled with content. People can choose to have morning tea. In the eyes of Chinese teachers, morning tea is an object of movement.

It’s an inappropriate sentence, but here, morning tea is really for eating! The title of tea cannot capture the deliciousness of the food.

We had morning tea while chatting, talking only about "Feng Yue" and traditional Chinese culture. A few young people and two old people became more and more interested in each other as they chatted. The old people were surprised by the breadth of knowledge of Fang Monan and the three of them.

His humor and humor often made the old man laugh. Qiao Fengyi and Danfeng were so surprised that their eyes widened. It was rare to see her master so happy. Fang Monan and the others admired the old man, quoted from classics, and spoke eloquently. He was really well-read.

.

They had morning tea for a full two hours. After breakfast, they moved to the study room, and they had a new appreciation and understanding of each other. After the waiter brought tea, coffee, and juice, they quietly left the room.

The door was closed tightly, and then the conversation began.

The study room was filled with mahogany furniture, which was thick and atmospheric. Mr. He took a sip of tea and put down the cup. Qiao Fengyi worriedly shook his hand, and he patted it gently and comfortingly. "The little girl has a good face.

Every sentence goes straight to Huanglong."

The old man closed his eyes, as if reminiscing, and no one disturbed him. After a while, he said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I think I smuggled myself to Hong Kong back then."

"It turns out you are really a dragon in the sea." Cheng Shixi said with sincere admiration.

"Hehe... I was young and frivolous, and I really relied on my enthusiasm. Natural disasters occurred in 1960-63! Lingnan was not spared. There was a severe famine. At that time, a large number of residents fled to Hong Kong. In 1962, my fellow villagers and I really

I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it anymore. Besides, I had parents, brothers and sisters at home. It could be said that I smuggled across the country out of concern and to make a living.

At that time, there was almost no meat or oil in the food, and even vegetables were rare. In order to relieve hunger, I once ate banana residue, straw, papaya peels, sweet potato vines, and even Guanyin soil at one time. We were

The average daily income of a farmer in China is about 70 cents, while the average daily income of farmers in Hong Kong is 70 Hong Kong dollars. The difference between the two is nearly 100 times. We often said at that time: "Working hard for a year is not as good as

"8 cents on the other side". This is the direct reason that prompted us to smuggle across the border."

Qiao Fengyi's eyes were a little sore. She had never heard the old man in her family talk about the past events of these difficult years.

"The ambiguous official career is over." The old man patted Qiao Fengyi's hand comfortingly, and continued, "My fellow villagers and I walked from Fengcheng to Pengcheng. There are three ways to escape from Hong Kong: walking, swimming, and taking a boat.

According to the route, there are east route, middle route and west route. Swimming is usually the first choice. We choose the west route, which starts from Shekou and the mangrove area and swims through Pengcheng Bay. If everything goes well, it will take about more than an hour.

We swam to Yuen Long in the northwest New Territories of Hong Kong. At that time, people called our kind of waterway smugglers "du pawns". They borrowed the chess terminology and took the meaning of "going back and forth". The description was very vivid and vivid, and the pawns moved forward.

Gong means crossing the boundary river. You can only move forward and not look back. Many stowaways also swim across. Many educated youths who stowaway know that once they set foot on this road, they cannot look back. If they fail to stow away, they will be taken back to their original unit or street.

In the early days of Yong's career. At that time, there was a saying among the educated youth who smuggled across the country: "If you get wet from head to toe, you will get wet from head to toe." Many people smuggled across the country again and again.[

In my memory, reservoirs and rivers are overcrowded in summer. Many children in my hometown have been indoctrinated by their families since they were young, "Practice swimming well and go to Hong Kong in the future." Then they wade into the water and sneak across.

We all carry a variety of tools when wading. After all, we have to swim for an hour. If we are exhausted, we may die in the sea. We usually choose car tires or lifebuoys, foam plastics and other life-saving tools, and some people blow up multiple condoms.

Hang it around your neck. After entering the water, some stowaways recite *** quotes to cheer themselves up while swimming: "Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory!"

"Hey! If you want to laugh, just laugh." The old man said, seeing how hard they were holding back their laughter.

Fang Monan and the others laughed, and gradually shed tears, "The old man had a narrow escape from death!" Cheng Shixi said with emotion.

"Boy, you are right. It was really a narrow escape. At that time, the above-mentioned items were strictly controlled items. Later, even table tennis became one of them. Because the border guards discovered that some people even used hundreds of

Ping-pong balls are strung together as a life-saving tool. After all, swimming is done by young people. Middle-aged and elderly people, children and women usually choose to smuggle by land, from Wutong Mountain in Pengcheng to Shatoujiao, and climb over the border wire fence, which is jokingly called "" in Cantonese.

In order to avoid the police dogs, some Hong Kong escapees will go to the zoo to bribe the keepers before leaving, find some tiger feces, and scatter them as they walk. The police dogs will smell the smell of the feces and will not dare to follow them.

At that time, the crackdown on stowaways was extremely severe. Anyone who went to Hong Kong without legal procedures would be regarded as "treason and surrender to the enemy" and would be detained if caught. The border defense force was the biggest obstacle to stowaways. I heard a person at that time

A stowaway like us, that guy stowawayed twelve times, setting a record. By the 13th time, the border guards looked familiar to him and were too embarrassed to arrest him again, so he successfully escaped to Hong Kong. According to reports

He said that before the 1960s, border guards could shoot at any time when they encountered stowaways who disobeyed orders, and many stowaways were killed on the tidal flats and in the mountains. After that, due to strict orders from superiors, the phenomenon of shooting gradually disappeared."

Qiao Fengyi covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face, "Hey! Don't worry, I'm lucky. The border guards didn't shoot. Even if I was caught, I would be detained and reformed. I'm luckier than that guy. I succeeded in one try." The old man laughed at himself.

.

The old man fell into recollection and said, "In 1962, when the famine was at its worst, the exodus people gathered in groups along the road that was more than a hundred miles long, supporting the old and the young, just like "the army was heading south, coming with great force." These stowaways

They formed a group, each holding a wooden stick more than 4 feet long. I remember the leading smuggler publicly said: "Whoever obstructs us, we will fight them with wooden sticks and rush over, even if we shoot, we will not retreat."

!Although the place where we entered the water is closest to Hong Kong, the wind and waves here are very strong, and many people drowned here. This is the most difficult of the smuggling techniques. However, since the chance of being caught by the border guards is the smallest, most people will choose

Go for a swim here."

"There were a lot of people in the water at that time, but as we swam longer, the distance gradually widened. Many people fell behind due to lack of physical strength. As a result..." The old man did not go on. He climbed to the coastline and took a big mouthful.

Breathing heavily, it was not that he stood excitedly on the land of Hong Kong, but that he had survived. At that time, he was so tired that his arms could no longer move. If it hadn't been for the help of the brothers around him, maybe he would have...

But as everyone knows, although many people successfully smuggled across, many died at sea. Considering the situation at that time, due to hunger, their physical fitness could not support an hour-long swim. And all of them

Life-saving tools are subject to strict scrutiny. Many people waded alone. It is a miracle that they survived. Swimming is very physically demanding.
