Chapter 496 Finding Relatives (1/2)

The gathering ended smoothly.

This time, through the introduction of President Ou, the organization attracted a lot of projects and investments. Several Hong Kong Island companies have decided to build factories in Fujian Province.

Li Duoyu not only purchased a lot of equipment, but also reached a consensus on cooperation with President Ou.

The main cooperation is still in the field of dry goods. We can provide him with some relatively good dried oysters, fish glue, dried shrimps and dried oysters.

And Zhang Sanming has been getting along well with a breeding expert from the overseas province these two days, and he accompanies him almost every day.

It is true that there are eel breeding technologies in the overseas province, but there are not many people who know this technology. How could it be so coincidental that he just happened to meet him.

And that person, like Zhang Sanming, was dressed in suits and leather shoes, and it was obvious that he rarely worked in the pond.

If it were Li Duoyu, he would definitely be more careful about this kind of person, and he felt that this person was either selling feed or selling fake medicine.

After the gathering, President Ou also led the team to take everyone to visit Hong Kong Island.

We walked around Central, toured Victoria Harbour, climbed Phoenix Mountain, and took a look at Kowloon Walled City from a distance.

This is a no-man's land, where even the police dare not enter. Many Hong Kong films about gangsters are based on this.

For locals, this place is naturally not very good, but for those who sneaked into Hong Kong Island and have nowhere to go, this is a good place to stay.

In addition, we followed the leaders to visit the electrical appliance market in Hong Kong Island.

Li Duoyu fell in love with an island country video recorder at first sight. There happened to be cassettes on the ship, and he really wanted to buy it.

However, since he had just borrowed so much money from the organization, it was really unreasonable to spend so much money on such expensive things, so he didn't buy it, and went directly to the town to buy smuggled goods.

Although he didn't buy a video recorder, Li Duoyu bought a lot of video tapes, including "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Shanghai Beach", and "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

After the sightseeing and inspection, the organization gave everyone two days of private time.

Li Duoyu took Zhou Xiaoying to Kowloon Tong. Although he didn't know much about Hong Kong Island, this place has always been a wealthy area.

The houses here are not very tall. Many of them look like the private villas in their previous life, all of which are independent small houses.

Many of them have courtyards. Li Duoyu went to a roadside grocery store to buy at least two packs of cigarettes and asked the boss by the way.

"Boss, if mainlanders come to Kowloon Tong, which area do they usually live in?"

"Which year did they come?"

"About fifteen years ago."

The boss waved his hand and said, "That's impossible. If you came fifteen years ago, you can't live here. At least you must have come in the 1950s and have done very well to live here."

"I suggest you look for it in Yuen Long and Sai Kung. It's more likely."

"Thank you."

Li Duoyu did not give up. He found several grocery store owners and got almost the same answers.

After searching for a day, the two people who didn't ask anything left here a little disappointed.

Sitting on the tram, planning to return to North Point, Zhou Xiaoying, who was sitting on the double-decker tram, had no mood to look at the scenery along the way because she didn't find her relatives.

Li Duoyu comforted her: "Next, I will have business cooperation with President Ou. By then, he will have many younger brothers. At that time, let him help find it. If it doesn't work, we will spend some money and directly publish a missing person notice."

"Will that be very expensive?"

Li Duoyu said directly: "As long as it can make Comrade Xiaoying happy, I am willing to pay any amount of money."

Zhou Xiaoying stared.

"If it's really too expensive, then don't."

When they returned to North Point, the two people who had walked all day were tired and hungry, so they just found a random store on the street.

After entering the store, Li Duoyu immediately said: "Boss, give me two abalone rice and two soups."

But I didn't expect that when the dishes were served.

The owner of this store was particularly enthusiastic. He was a young man in his early thirties, wearing glasses and a little fat.

"From your accent, you must have just arrived in Hong Kong Island."

Li Duoyu asked curiously:

"You can even tell from that."

The young man laughed and said, "That's for sure. People who just arrived don't sound like you. From your accent, you seem to be from Fujian Province."

"That's right."

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "We are from Dandan Island in Rongcheng, Fujian Province."

"Oh, Dandan Island."

When the young man heard the place name, he frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something and couldn't help but feel happy.

He asked an old lady who was washing vegetables at the door of the store: "Grandma, did you often say that you wanted to go to Dandan Island?"

The old lady who was washing vegetables at the door seemed to be hard of hearing and didn't hear him at all. The young man went straight to her ear and said:

"There are two guests from Dandan Island in the mainland in our store."

The old lady waved her hand and said disdainfully, "I know, I'm not so deaf that I can't hear. You are so loud that I'm really deafened by you."

"What did you say just now?"

"There are guests from Dandan Island in our store."

After hearing these three words, the old lady's expression instantly became nervous and asked: "Who is from Dandan Island?"

"These two are here."

When Li Duoyu saw this old lady, he didn't know why, but he always felt that she was somewhat similar to Zhou Xiaoying.

After seeing her, Zhou Xiaoying was inexplicably a little nervous. She grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands and her breathing became rapid. She didn't know why, but she just had this feeling.

The old lady asked: "Are you really from Rongcheng Dandan Island?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then do you know someone named Zhou Shiqing? He went there to jump in line more than 20 years ago."

When she heard this, Zhou Xiaoying's eyes instantly turned red. She quickly took out a black and white photo from a kraft envelope in her bag and carefully handed it to the old lady.

"You kid, why are your eyes so red?"

But when the old lady took the photo and saw the people in the photo, her hands holding the photo were shaking.

She stretched out her wrinkled hand and gently touched one of the people in the photo. At this moment, the old tears fell directly.

"This person is my third child."

"How did you get this photo? How is Shiqing doing now?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying already knew the identity of the old man. Unexpectedly, he searched all over and found that his relative was next to the hotel where he was staying.

Zhou Xiaoying choked and her lips trembled: "I am Zhou Shiqing's daughter, and my name is Zhou Xiaoying."

The old lady said anxiously: "Speak louder. I'm old and hard of hearing, so I can't hear clearly."

The shop owner was also stunned at this moment. He never imagined that the customer who occasionally came to his shop for dinner would actually be the third uncle's daughter.

The third uncle has always been a concern of the old lady. She has been in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years. The old lady misses the third uncle the most and resents the third uncle the most.

Because they clearly left their contact information for Third Uncle, but they have been in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years and have never received a letter.

"Milk, she is the third uncle's daughter."

The old lady was very surprised when she heard this. Her wrinkled face instantly relaxed, and her face was filled with smiles.

"When I saw you, I felt that you looked a lot like Shiqing." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked around: "You are the only one here, isn't your father here?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly didn't know how to answer. After so many years, she had let go, but after seeing her grandma, the scar in her heart was still severely opened.

She knew very well the pain of losing a loved one, and she didn't want her to feel the pain of losing a child as soon as she met her grandma.

At this time, Li Duoyu said in the old lady's ear: "Shiqing, you didn't come this time."

After hearing this, the old lady snorted: "It's really unfilial. I've left him an address. It's been open for so many years, but there's not a single letter."

At this time, the old lady noticed Li Duoyu and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Duoyu said: "I am your grandson-in-law."

Zhou Xiaoying quickly took Li Duoyu's hand: "Nai, we are already married."

The old lady looked him over and said with satisfaction: "He's very handsome. He matches my granddaughter very well. Do you two have any children?"

"Yes, it will be two years old soon."

The old lady looked happy: "You are better, unlike Zhenshun, who is over thirty and has never even had a girlfriend." When the old lady said this, she looked at the eldest grandson in the store with disgust.

Zhou Zhenshun smiled awkwardly: "Grandma, it's not that I'm not looking for her, it's that the girls here in Hong Kong are too picky."

At this moment, two customers walked in: "Boss, please bring two bowls of braised noodles."

Zhou Zhenshun apologized: "I'm sorry, something happened today, so we are temporarily closed."

"So early."

"Sorry, I'll come back later."

After Zhou Zhenshun finished speaking, he quickly pulled the rolling shutter halfway, and said to Li Duoyu and others: "You guys wait a moment, I will go nearby to call my father and second uncle."

While Li Duoyu was waiting in the store, the old lady was already chatting with Zhou Xiaoying.

I waited for almost ten minutes.

Two men and two women came to the store, and two of them looked very similar to Zhou Xiaoying's father.

As soon as the two parties met, it was a large-scale family recognition scene. Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying hurriedly greeted each other.

Zhou Xiaoying's uncle, Zhou Shidong, said: "It's too crowded in the store, let's talk at home."

Li Duoyu followed them to a nearby high-rise residential building, just like what was said in the Hong Kong movie.

There are small advertisements posted everywhere on the stairs.

There are pink neon lights hanging at some doorways, and loud music is playing inside.

After arriving at uncle’s house,

Li Duoyu found that their room was not much better than the store, and it was also very small.

But it's a little too small. It has everything including a sofa, refrigerator, TV, and air conditioner. There's even a fish tank on the balcony.

The TV was still on, and "Ultraman" filmed in the island country was playing.

There was a little boy of eight or nine years old in the hall, with a piece of white paper taped to his face, on which Ultraman's face was drawn with colored pens.

After seeing his family come back, he held a wooden sword in his hand and shouted to them: "I am Ultraman Taro. Look at my Ultra Bomb and kill you monsters."

Zhou Zhenshun patted his head on the spot.

"Hurry up and put away those messy toys of yours. There are relatives at home."

The little boy said unhappily: "Our family is in Hong Kong Island. Where can we have relatives?"

"so rude."

Zhou Zhenshun said speechlessly: "I'm sorry, this is my brother. He was born after he came here. He is almost spoiled."

After a group of people sat down, it was time to greet each other. After such communication between the two parties, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying learned about it.

It turned out that after they arrived on Hong Kong Island and settled down, they had already contacted their hometown. After the change, they continued to send money to their hometown.

But when they learned that their hometown in Jinling had collapsed, Qin Huaiyun took their money and didn't build a new house at all. He didn't even clean Grandpa Zhou Xiaoying's grave.

The whole family's faces were so angry that they all gnashed their teeth with hatred and wanted to give her a few slaps.

"How could this woman be so bad? I give her so much money every year, even if I don't build a house, I don't even care for a grave."

Uncle Zhou Shidong seemed to have thought of something, and asked hurriedly: "Did he receive the money we gave your father these years?"

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said: "My cousin has never contacted us."

Zhou Shidong slammed the table angrily: "It's too shameful. I have to settle the score with this woman. How can she be so heartless? I remit 5,000 yuan to her every year."

After hearing the money, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were both stunned. With so much money, no wonder the cousin could build a mansion and buy a motorcycle, and her children could not have to work every day.

It's no wonder that after Li Duoyu and the others got the address, they were so rude that they even came to check the room in the middle of the night.

Second uncle Zhou Shiqiang said: "I told you a long time ago that Qin Huaiyun is unreliable. It's better to call his neighbor Lao Zhang."

Zhou Shidong sighed, and then said, "Has this year's money been remitted?"

Zhou Zhenshun scratched his head and said, "Just two days ago, the business in the store was relatively good, so I forgot to send it."

"This is a beautiful thing, if you send it, but thinking about it, I can't sleep well."

Uncle Zhou Shidong frowned and asked, "How did you find this place? Qin Huaiyun told you the address? She shouldn't be so kind."

Li Duoyu said: "She didn't give her a contact address. It was Lao Zhang who was next door to her hometown who gave us the address. Today we went to Kowloon Tong and searched for it all day, but we couldn't find it."

Xiaoying's cousin Zhou Zhenshun said: "It's a wealthy area. How could we live in that kind of place?"

Zhou Shidong was a little embarrassed, but he wouldn't say that it was just vanity that caused him to deliberately leave the address in a wealthy area.

"So this is ah."

Zhou Shidong asked curiously: "Then how did you find us with the wrong address?"

Zhou Zhenshun smiled and said: "It's really luck. They happened to come to the restaurant to eat, and then they chatted about Dandan Island."

Zhou Shidong still felt a little strange. He took a look at Li Duoyu's dress, and he didn't look like a rich man.

There was also this niece, who was also well-dressed. Judging from their clothes alone, they felt that they were getting along better than they were. She couldn't help but ask: "It's hard to sneak across the border now. How did you get here?"

Li Duoyu said:

"I came here to do something with the leader."

They have also heard that some leaders from Fujian Province are indeed coming here these days to hold meetings, hold activities and attract investment.

Next, the two sides chatted.

Li Duoyu went to his uncle Zhou Shidong alone and told him the news that Zhou Shiqing and his wife had been killed more than ten years ago.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Just now, I have guessed that the third child and the old lady have a very good relationship. If they were still there, it would be impossible not to write here. ”

"Thank you, Duoyu, for taking care of Xiaoying over the years."

They originally wanted to keep them together for dinner, but Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying had already eaten, and the organization would call their names in the evening.

So, they went back to the hotel first.

Before leaving, the old lady still held Zhou Xiaoying's hand: "While we are still young, hurry up and have one or two more children. It will be more lively when there are more people. We can already bring the children to Hong Kong Island."

And they went all the way to the hotel where Li Duoyu was staying, and his uncle Zhou Shidong stuffed a whole wad of money over: "This money was originally going to be sent to that Qin Huaiyun."

"No, really no need."

"Hurry up and take it. It's easier to make money here on Hong Kong Island. You can make several years' worth of money here in one month."

"It's really not necessary. We have enough money over there."

At this time, uncle Zhou Shidong and cousin Zhou Zhenshun all became quiet, licking their faces and greeting: "Hello, President."

President Ou asked curiously: "Director Li, the relative you are looking for is probably their family."

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, they are the relatives I am looking for."

President Ou said in disgust: "Writing the address randomly, North Point means North Point, and Kowloon Tong, which made me look for connections. I asked many people, but in the end there were not many people named Zhou."

Zhou Shidong smiled awkwardly.

President Ou continued: "Director Li, are you free tonight? I plan to talk to you in detail about our cooperation."

"sure."

Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying's relatives: "Uncle and cousin, let's leave first."

After Li Duoyu left, Zhou Shidong realized that the money had not been given to the other party.

Zhou Zhenshun said: "No need to give it, he has cooperated with the chairman, maybe he has more money than us."

At this moment, a tall, thin young man with tattoos on his neck asked with a smile: "How are you, Boss Zhou?"

After hearing this voice, Zhou Shidong suddenly became nervous and hurriedly hid the money in his pocket: "Black Dog, why are you here? I have already paid this month's money."

The young man nicknamed Black Dog said: "I'm not talking to you about money. Do you know the man who just chatted with the president?"

"He is a relative of mine."

"Your relative." Black Dog lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then starting from next month, the money your store pays will be directly reduced by half. If you are bullied in the future, just tell me my name and I will help you solve it."

"Ah."

Zhou Shidong and Zhou Zhenshun were stunned in the same place. They wanted to help this mainland relative.

But they didn't expect that they benefited from them. They talked for so long just now that they forgot to ask, what exactly does this Li Duoyu do? (End of this chapter)
