Chapter 181 Si Jin

Hong Kong businessman Si Jin's knowledge of the situation on the mainland comes from other people.

But his father kept thinking about it.

The previous times, it was his father who came back to attend the Canton Fair.

Each time, a large sum of money was spent to buy some mountain products. Even though none of the family members liked them, they had to grit their teeth and eat them together.

Business people actually buy things they can't sell and eat them themselves.

Si Jin's siblings were very unhappy about this.

But they dared not say it.

After all, my younger brother got beaten up by Father Si just for saying a few unpleasant things about the mainland.

That beating kept the younger brother in bed for several days, and it made everyone in their family clearly understand how important the mainland was to their father.

After all, of the entire Si family, only Si's father lived on the mainland when he was young.

Later, due to life's challenges, Grandpa and Grandma Si took him to Hong Kong.

The elderly couple are no longer with us. The wife they arranged for Si's father was from Hong Kong, and their children have always considered themselves Hong Kongers.

Although they had never seen it with their own eyes, they had heard many rumors about the mainland.

They say mainlanders are poor, but they can't even get enough to eat.

Si Jin, along with her older sister, younger brother, and younger sister, all had a negative impression of mainland China; there was nothing good about it.

His return to the Canton Fair on behalf of his father was out of necessity.

Mr. Si was originally planning to return for this Canton Fair, but he fell ill just before leaving.

Si Jin and the others had originally thought that since they were sick, they wouldn't have to go through all that trouble.

But Si's father immediately handed the task over to Si Jin.

There was nothing he could do; he was the eldest son in the family.

When Lao Tzu tells him to come, he has to obediently come.

As he predicted, the mainland was indeed very poor.

What angered him most was that the place he was staying was terrible.

Even his nanny lives in a better place than this.

As for the food, it can't compare to home cooking, but it's more understandable than the accommodation.

He had only been there for two days, but he had already had countless thoughts of wanting to go home as soon as possible.

He had originally planned to just get through the Canton Fair.

Anyway, his dad gave him a lot of money, so he can just buy a few things, spend the money, and then go home.

really!

Upon entering the exhibition hall, he found nothing of value; nothing attracted him.

Wandering around casually.

Then, he stopped at Lu Yuanqing's booth.

He first spoke in Cantonese, and then looked at the group of people opposite him with wide eyes, which amused him so much that he wanted to laugh.

He then spoke Mandarin.

Haha! I finally got to see their shocked expressions (please, that's just speechless).

Their fathers made them learn Mandarin from a young age, and how could they dare disobey!

However, there are quite a few who outwardly comply but inwardly defy, so it sounds very awkward.

After having fun, Si Jin sat on a bamboo-backed stool. His aesthetic sense was still on point; the stool was so beautifully made. Why did his dad always buy mountain delicacies to bring home before?

These bamboo woven items look great even when displayed at home!

Si Jin's eyes were glued to the twelve zodiac animals on the shelf. They really looked so realistic! Buy them all, buy them all!!!

……

After Lu Yuanqing sat down, he gestured for Gu Baoxia to bring tea.

This was something he had asked Gu Baoxia to prepare long ago. The tea came from another tea factory in Yu'an City that was participating, while the thermos and teacups were borrowed from Xing Shen's old classmate.

"How should I address this fellow countryman?" Lu Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Si Jin finally looked away from the twelve zodiac animals, turned around and said, "My name is Si Jin."

"Mr. Si, please have some tea!" Lu Yuanqing introduced with a smile, "This is our captain, Zhao Zhongcai, and my name is Lu Yuanqing!"

"Hello!" Si Jin nodded politely.

Lu Yuanqing secretly commented that he was polite yet arrogant, with a good family upbringing, and did not have that particularly condescending attitude.

However, those who come back to participate in the Canton Fair are already driven by a sense of patriotism.

Having always lived in a more prosperous world, it's understandable that people might feel a bit arrogant upon suddenly seeing the mainland as it is now.

"Everything here looks so nice, I want to buy one of everything!" Si Jin said.

Anyway, he has money.

Moreover, his father only asked him to spend money to support him, but did not necessarily require him to buy some old-fashioned mountain products to bring home.

Money has to be spent, so he bought things he liked.

Moreover, if Si's father sees it, he will definitely like it.

"Of course!" Lu Yuanqing and Zhao Zhongcai's smiles became even brighter.

Si Jin leaned back comfortably and asked, "How much is this stool?"

Just as Zhao Zhongcai was about to speak, Lu Yuanqing subtly tugged at his clothes, but still smiled calmly: "360 yuan!"

Zhao Zhongcai's eyes widened suddenly, "..." Wasn't it supposed to sell for 30 yuan?

When the price was initially set, they were worried that it might be too expensive and what would happen if they didn't buy it!

Si Jin: "Okay!"

Zhao Zhongcai was dumbfounded.

Lu Yuanqing: "..." The report is too low!

Those damn rich people!

Si Jin turned her head and said, "There are six people in my family, one for each person, so we need six."

"Then let's have six stools! Make a note of that!"

Lu Yuanqing smiled broadly, waved to Lu Mingdong, and said, "Remember this, Mr. Si needs six bamboo chairs!"

Lu Mingdong calmly took out his notebook, opened it, and quickly wrote it down.

Si Jin was taken aback when she first saw Lu Mingdong.

You should know that today is his second day in Guangdong Province. He has seen many people who are pale and thin, wearing tattered and dark clothes, with yellow hair, and are obviously malnourished.

Aside from those who clearly looked like leaders, most of the people he described on the street were like that.

Even those who were dressed cleanly and looked healthy were not as good-looking as Lu Mingdong. He had dark hair, a fair complexion, and looked about the same as the rich kids in Hong Kong.

Uh, we need to exclude clothing.

Even though Lu Mingdong was wearing clothes without patches, it was obvious at a glance that they were of inferior quality.

"Is this your younger brother?" Si Jin asked curiously.

Lu Yuanqing: "No, it's my nephew!"

Si Jin: "She's good-looking!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..." Is this a world where looks matter too?

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanqing felt a little jealous of Lu Mingdong.

Every autumn after the harvest, he gets several shades darker from the sun, and it takes him a whole winter to regain some of his original fair complexion.

But Lu Mingdong is someone who can't get tanned; even in the whole village, he's the fairest-skinned one.

And hair.

You should know that when Lu Yuanqing first arrived, his whole family, including the entire village, looked emaciated and had coarse, yellow hair.

Even now, after three years of growing his hair, Lu Yuanhuan still has malnourished hair.

But Lu Mingdong's hair was always so black and thick. After washing it, the fluffy feeling made Lu Yuanqing feel like he was petting a cat's fur.
