After breakfast, they went out. The place where they lived had more mansions for rich people, as well as commercial buildings!
There is also a market here. They don’t have a car to drive out yet, so a family of 11 takes the bus.
At the stop sign, there was a newspaper kiosk, and I bought a map there. Cheng Haixiang followed the map, looked at the stop sign, and asked the old man at the news kiosk.
There are two stations from here, namely kindergarten and elementary school, and at the past station, there are middle schools and high schools!
In fact, the distance is only a few miles. On this island full of gold, this distance is nothing. If you are bigger, you can ride a bicycle!
Or you can ride a motorcycle!
More wealthy people who can afford to live in small villas can definitely afford to buy a car!
More people have cars at home, workers, and drivers!
Cheng Xiwen didn't know where this place was in the dark last night. At this time, in her father's arms, she saw clearly where this place was. It was an area northeast of a villa in Causeway Bay.
Although she has never been to Hong Kong, in her previous life, many people would go on a day trip to shop. She searched on her mobile phone: Causeway Bay, the most prosperous area in Hong Kong, was it already so prosperous in 1968?
There are high-rise buildings, residential areas for wealthy people here, and even the shops and restaurants passing by have high-end decoration!
They got on the train and got off at a commercial street. The family was here, shopping and buying clothes!
You can buy clothes here without a ticket, but the clothes are more expensive!
But none of them bought a few sets of changes of clothes. Autumn is about to enter, and the clothes they bought are all long-sleeved!
We also bought winter coats for everyone!
Cheng Haixiang accumulated a lot of cloth and made more clothes for the children!
His eight sons are more naughty. Although they have new clothes every year, if they burst them due to their naughtiness, they will always patch them up!
At this moment, their family came out wearing their best clothes, looking very rustic!
The clothes they chose to buy in civilian stores were not expensive, costing more than 20 yuan a set!
For adults’ clothes, Cheng Haixiang bought two suits and three shirts.
I also bought two sets of casual outfits!
Zhao Jiasui also bought himself a professional suit, skirt suit, trousers suit, underwear and the like!
I also bought a princess dress, warm winter pantyhose, a thick skirt, and a thick coat for my little daughter!
Everyone bought shoes again.
This whole family was carrying bags of stuff during this big shopping trip!
At noon at the food stall outside, their family sat there and ordered food!
Meat and dishes here are not cheap. Fortunately, no tickets are required and you can order whatever you want!
Cheng Haixiang was so generous, braised pork, roast duck, roast chicken, and a stir-fried green vegetable!
This meal cost more than 100 yuan.
Zhao Jiasui covered her heart in distress. These more than 100 yuan were worth several months' salary at her previous place of work!
In her current job, although she hasn't started work yet, she heard that the salary is only over 300!
Be sure to eat half a month’s salary, and save some in the future!
Cheng Haixiang was not moved. He only used two small yellow croakers for what his family’s ancestors left behind!
The two yellow croakers bought a small villa.
Some cash from before was exchanged for coins used here!
This time I also used the exchanged coins to purchase items!
They have to work tomorrow, so for the time being they are just sitting there!
The family had a meal with mouths full of oil. They took the car home first and put down the purchased items!
Then he went straight to school to enroll his older sons in school!
The one they were looking for was a public one. They had to take a bus from home, and it was only two stops away!
Cheng Zhirong and Cheng Zhihua are enrolled in fifth grade. Cheng Zhifu, the third grade student Cheng Zhigui enrolled in.
Cheng Zhiguo and Cheng Zhitai are enrolled in the first grade!
To register for a transfer here, you must pay the school establishment fee, and you must also have your ID card and residential address!
There is no such thing as compulsory education. You must have money to go to school!
If your grades are good, there will be bonuses or free stuff!
Because it is a public school, although the tuition is expensive, it is still not as expensive as a private school!
The kindergarten is also in this area!
Then they went to kindergarten to register!
Cheng Zhimin, Cheng Zhian signed up to study in the middle class of kindergarten!
Kindergarten is not cheap either!
Cheng Haixiang and his wife took their children to school and after registering for kindergarten, they went to the stationery stores in front of the school to buy schoolbags and stationery for their children!
I bought some vegetables at the market!
Where I found vegetable seeds, I bought some vegetable seeds, corn, cabbage, cabbage, eggplant, leek, parsley, onion, garlic and ginger. I asked here if there are any seeds such as rice and wheat. Sweet potatoes, potatoes! Radish, carrot, etc. seeds.
The seed stalls sold in the vegetable market here are from people from the village on the other side of Yuen Long. However, some people also grow vegetables on the roofs of their homes. They sell the seeds left at home!
There are wealthy areas and slum areas in Causeway Bay, and there are even villages there!
Cheng Xiwen went shopping in the market with her parents. In this very prosperous place in this era, there is actually a difference between it and a few decades later, at least in terms of transportation!
There are cars but not so many cars!
There are many people on this small island, but not as many as in later generations!
She traveled through this book, and when her family came here and bought a house, their family's destiny has changed!
The family can stay here, their brother and sister are not separated, and their parents are not arrested!
I heard that their house only costs RMB 150,000. In a few decades, such a small western-style building in that location will cost over RMB 100,000, right?
Their family will buy land and more houses here in the future, but there is no rush now!
My parents are working as workers now and want to stabilize!
Then explore the market and see that his parents will not just be workers forever!
Cheng Xiwen guessed this right!
Cheng Haixiang has always had ambitions, but he was suppressed before!
I don’t dare to use the money!
Being a worker is only temporary!
He will explore the market, buy fields, land, houses and shops again, and become a rich man again.
Money that could not see the light of day before, such as gold bars and silver dollars, will become real property!
Of course, this process may take several years, because the child is too young, and they are the only couple who have to look after the child!
When the child grows up, someone will help!
Their family went shopping for a day, and they were not idle when they got back. The family's clothes cannot be washed by hand in the future!
Cheng Haixiang went out again to buy a washing machine, refrigerator, and TV. As for the air conditioner, he didn't buy it yet. He bought a few fans. At this time, they still felt hot in their residence!
I was used to days without fans, but here we can create conditions, of course we will arrange them!
The eight boys took their trophies back to their rooms!
Cheng Xiwen is sitting on the sofa. In her hand is the milk her mother made for him. There are fruits and cakes on the table in front of her!
My brothers haven’t tasted these cakes yet, and they were drooling just looking at them when we bought them!
Zhao Jiasui entered the kitchen and arranged the day’s dinner!
