The food cooked by Aunt Qiu was indeed as she said, extremely delicious. Even Feng Yifeng, who was not in a good mood, ate three large bowls of rice in a row. As for Nile and He, who had never eaten such delicacies as shrimp paste,
Baka even almost swallowed his own tongue. The wind and clouds looked like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
Baka even gave a thumbs up to Aunt Qiu, and said in his half-baked Chinese: "It's delicious, it's delicious." Then he said a series of words quickly in English to Nile beside him, and Nile also said the same thing.
Agree deeply and keep nodding.
"Wenxiu, what are they talking about? Is there something wrong with my cooking? They don't like it, right?" Qiu Yu, a new immigrant from the mainland with a low level of education, simply couldn't understand what Nile and Nile were saying.
Fast American English between Baka.
When she was free just now, Feng Yifeng asked Wenxiu about Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu's real name was Ma Qiu, and she was from Zhanjiang, Guangdong. During the period of great turmoil in the mainland, she was sentenced to the fifth category of black people because of her bad status, and her life was very difficult.
.So by chance, I smuggled myself to Hong Kong with several fellow villagers. During these many years in Hong Kong, because I didn’t have an identity card and my education was not high, life in Hong Kong was also very difficult.
I worked as a cleaner, waiter in a restaurant, picked up garbage and worked as a hawker. In order to avoid police interrogation, I could only live under overpasses and in some abandoned wooden houses.
Fortunately, she was lucky. Because of the Queen's birthday, Hong Kong granted amnesty. Many people who smuggled into Hong Kong without ID cards were registered as Hong Kong residents. Aunt Qiu was one of the lucky ones. After getting the ID card
After that, she had many more job choices. Several of her fellow villagers introduced her to work as a female worker in some industrial areas, but the foreman deducted her wages and kept causing trouble for her, just because she came from mainland China.
, quit her job and came to Cheung Chau to relax. Here, she saw the recruitment notice of the shrimp paste factory. After applying for the job, she saw that the boss and the wife of the boss were both kind and friendly, and they did not discriminate against mainlanders like the bosses in the urban area.
People can settle down here with peace of mind.
Several fellow villagers didn't understand why she would go to a remote place like Cheung Chau to find a job. They advised her to return to the city and earn enough money as soon as possible. They would bring her husband and children in Zhanjiang to Hong Kong and help her again in the city.
She found a new job in a restaurant in Kowloon, which not only includes food and accommodation, but the wages are similar to those in Cheung Chau. But she is not the kind of person who is greedy and greedy. According to what she said, it is better to find a good boss than a good job.
I worked in the shrimp paste factory for more than four years. Not only did I learn how to make shrimp paste, I also provided three meals a day for everyone in the shrimp paste factory.
"Don't worry, Aunt Qiu. It's not that the food you cook is not delicious, but it's that it's so delicious. Baka and Nile both grew up in foreign countries. After following Xiaofeng, they have eaten a lot.
Chinese food, but they all said that the dishes you cooked are the best and most perfect masterpieces they have ever tasted. They said they were afraid that after leaving this time, it would be difficult to taste this kind of food in the future, and they asked whether they should bring a few cans of shrimps.
Go back and learn how to do it yourself."
"Oh! That's it. I was so scared that I thought the food was not to their taste. I didn't expect that foreigners like our traditional Chinese food so much now. How about I cook it for you next time you come here?" Qiu
Auntie's last words were meant for Baka and Nile, but she forgot that they both spoke Chinese, and they could count them all on one hand. It was Wenxiu who watched and translated for her to Baka and the others.
listen
"Aunt Qiu, I have something to tell you. My grandpa had an accident this time. I want him and grandma to move to the city to live with us. This shrimp paste factory may not continue to operate.
, I wonder if you have any other place to go? Or I can give you a sum of money, and you can do some small business or find another job." Feng Yifeng has decided to bring his grandfather to the city, where he is really
I'm worried. Even if this incident is resolved, who knows when someone will come to buy it or directly occupy it?
"Ah! The shrimp paste factory is not going to be established?" Aunt Qiu, who had already regarded this place as her home, was shocked by Feng Yifeng's news. She had been living in Cheung Chau in the past few years, and Feng Yifeng's grandfather was not only responsible for the shrimp paste for Aunt Qiu.
She worked in the factory and cooked for everyone, so her salary was relatively high, which also allowed Aunt Qiu to save some money. She plans to continue working here until she has enough money to move her husband and children to Hong Kong.
Come. But if the shrimp paste factory closes down, then she really can’t think of anywhere else to go. Will she have to go back to the city and accept the glare and discrimination from the bosses and Hong Kong people?
"Yes, I'm going to persuade my grandpa and grandma to stop running this shrimp paste factory. They are already quite old. As a grandson, I should take them out to enjoy their old age. I don't have any servants or nannies. I can do better.
take care of them.”
"Well, I really don't have anywhere to go. I don't know English, I don't know any other skills, and I have no relatives in Hong Kong. Where can I go all of a sudden?" Aunt Qiu also knew whether Feng Yifeng was right.
Wrong, the boss is not young anymore. Although he is still in good health, he will definitely suffer from some diseases after this experience. As grandsons, it is also right to take them out to enjoy the blessings.
"How about I give you a sum of money. Thanks to you for taking care of my grandpa and grandma these years, just think of it as my thanks to you. Don't refuse, you can use this money to open a small shop. In Hong Kong
, as long as you are willing to work, there will definitely be no way out."
"Oh! This is the only way, but can you let me live here first and wait until I find a place to move?" Aunt Qiu has no choice. After all, she is just a part-time worker. If the boss doesn't do it, can she still rely on it?
Are you going to die or not leave?
"Aunt Qiu, you have to understand that it is very unsafe here now. I don't know when those people will come again or what methods they will use this time. If you live here alone, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen, so
You'd better leave as soon as possible." If something unexpected happens to Aunt Qiu while she stays at the shrimp paste factory, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"But I'm in a hurry. Can you let me go there? I've been living in Cheung Chau for the past few years and have rarely contacted those fellow villagers. I can't even think of joining them."
Feng Yifeng also knew something about Aunt Qiu. He also knew that asking her to leave immediately was a bit overwhelming, but if she continued to stay in the shrimp paste factory, if those people came again, then she, a woman, didn't know what would happen.
It's over.
"Xiao Feng, can you let Aunt Qiu go there now? Otherwise, our place is big enough anyway, and grandpa and grandma are used to her cooking. Let her work there. Once she comes, we can arrange her well.
Secondly, you can also let Aunt Qiu continue to take care of grandpa and the others. Regarding the tastes and habits of grandpa and grandma, I think no one knows better than Aunt Qiu. It is most suitable for her to take care of them." It was Wenxiu who solved this problem for Feng Yifeng.
, Although the servants and chefs in the villa have all received professional training, no one can understand my grandfather and their living habits better than Aunt Qiu, who has taken care of them for several years.
Feng Yifeng thought about it and felt that this was the best. Although he didn't want to recruit such irrelevant people to live in the villa, having Aunt Qiu to take care of grandpa and grandma was also the best choice now. "Then Aunt Qiu, would you like to come to our place?"
"From now on, your job is to take care of grandpa and grandma's daily life. You don't need to do other things. As for labor, I think I will satisfy you."
"Really, can I really go to you and continue to take care of the boss and the wife?" Although I don't know what Feng Yifeng's family environment is like, but seeing that he can bring bodyguards, and they are foreign bodyguards, then he must be relatively rich.
.And you can still have a job and a place to live, which Aunt Qiu urgently needs now.
After getting confirmation from Feng Yifeng, Aunt Qiu immediately nodded in agreement.
"Then you go and pack your luggage now. When my grandpa comes back, I will persuade him to go back with us."
"Okay, I'm going to pack it up now. Uh! What about the gifts you just brought? Why don't you take them all back? No one lives here anymore, so leaving them here is not an option."
"Forget it, it's too troublesome to take them around. Why don't you give them to Grandpa Li and Grandpa Rong, as a gift from me to honor them. Brother Chen, you and Aunt Qiu take these to Grandpa Li and the others, just
He said it was a gift from me and told them not to refuse it but to accept it. Say hello to them on my behalf and say that I will definitely come back to visit them with my grandpa when I have time in the future."
After everyone left, only Feng Yifeng, Wenxiu, and Zhao Yazhi were left in the room. "Xiao Feng, how are you going to persuade grandpa and the others? You also know that you know grandpa's temper. He has been like this for decades.
He lives in Cheung Chau and regards the shrimp paste factory as his lifeblood. If he leaves here, I don't think it will be so easy." Wen Xiu has lived in the Feng family for many years and knows all his relatives very well, not to mention his family.
A close relative like Feng Yifeng’s grandfather.
"I know it too, but you can't let me leave them here, right? Even if you do, I will pull them back." Speaking of his grandfather's temper, Feng Yifeng really didn't have any good ideas. In fact, his grandfather and his grandfather
It's almost the same. It's okay if you talk to him in a nice voice, but if you talk to him forcefully, his stubborn temper will come out.
"How about we find an excuse and take grandpa back to the villa first. When they settle down, I think they won't clamor to come back."
"This won't work. If grandpa makes up his mind to come back, even a few cows won't be able to hold him back. Besides, I don't have much time in Hong Kong. If I go back to the United States, how can you persuade him?"
"Otherwise, let's take Grandpa, who is injured and needs to rest, and take him to live in the villa. Once he gets used to the life in the city, he won't want to come back so much. If he really wants to come back, we can still say
The villa needs someone to take care of it. Xiaofeng, you are no longer in Hong Kong, and Wenxiu is busy with work. It can’t be done without someone to look after it. I don’t think grandpa will let others take care of his grandson’s big house. In this way, he will have an excuse.
Let him continue to live in the city." Zhao Yazhi still understood the old man's thoughts.
"Well, this is a good idea. Let's do it like this. When grandpa comes back later, you have to be busy and I will persuade them together. After all, you are all his grandson-in-law. It is also your responsibility to take good care of the two elders." Wenxiu and Zhao Yazhi.
This was the first time that Feng Yifeng confirmed their relationship with him in front of each of them, and the joy in his heart could not be expressed in words at all.
