Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 187 Return to Hong Kong

Li Ping'an listened to Yu Haitang's talk about the Siheyuan and thought about the ending of the Siheyuan he saw in his previous life.

It can be said that the current courtyard houses have changed a lot from the ones we remember in our previous lives.

Without Yi Zhonghai, there would be no Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng.

There would no longer be Yu Li's miserable life after marrying into the Yan family, and there would no longer be Lou Xiaoe's sad ending.

Sha Zhu is generally a fairly honest person. He was deceived and became a bad person before. Now that He Daqing has returned and his wife is taking care of him, and he has his own children, he can live an honest life.

It can be said that Li Pingan’s arrival changed the fate of many people.

As for whether it is good or bad, it is not something he can influence. He can only say that it is his own fault.

After learning about the Siheyuan, Li Pingan and Yu Haitang continued chatting for a while and then went to sleep.

Tomorrow Li Ping'an plans to look around the city again. Then he will go to the south to have a look.

Speaking of opening up, the South is basically the forefront of opening up. It is more prosperous there than here.

The next day, after breakfast, Yu Haitang took her children to school and work.

Li Ping'an changed his clothes and wandered around the city.

Last year, universities resumed the college entrance examination system. Currently, universities in Beijing are full of students.

This also brought a lot of vitality to the city.

There are many more furtive small vendors on some less remote streets.

These people were secretly reselling some things, and no one came to check or anything.

It seems that I am becoming more and more relaxed about these things now.

As for when the market was completely opened, Li Pingan can no longer remember.

But he roughly knew that the first places where the experiment was opened were Guangshi and the small fishing village near the Hong Kong River.

So Li Pingan planned to go there first to see the situation.

The main reason I came to Sijiu City was to see Yu Haitang.

At night, when Yu Haitang knew that Li Ping'an was leaving the next day, she was reluctant to let him go.

Although Yu Haitang said that it was not hard for her to raise a child alone, everyone could imagine how much pressure she had to endure and how much hardship she had endured to be able to persevere until now.

Li Pingan also felt sorry for the woman he had watched grow up.

In Li Ping'an's impression, Yu Haitang was always regarded as a little girl who would never grow up.

Unexpectedly, when she came back this time, she had already raised her children to this age.

That night, Yu Haitang and Li Pingan were reluctant to leave each other. They seemed to have endless things to talk about. They didn't get a good rest that night.

The next day, Yu Haitang saw Li Pingan off reluctantly.

Thinking of Li Ping'an's promise to come back to visit her openly next year, Yu Haitang cheered up and sent her son to school.

She had to be strong and take good care of her child. At least this time she had Li Ping'an's promise and hope.

Li Ping'an, who left Yu Haitang, headed all the way south.

Along the way, he used space teleportation during the day and flew with a sword at night.

After a day and a night of traveling, Li Ping'an finally arrived at Guangshi.

When he came here, Li Pingan immediately felt an obvious change.

On the streets here, some small vendors no longer hawk their wares secretly, but instead sell their goods openly on the streets.

Moreover, people here do not wear the black, green and gray clothes like those in the mainland, but wear more brightly colored clothes.

The streets here are more crowded than those in the old city. People can be seen everywhere shopping and buying things.

After walking around for a whole day, Li Ping'an even saw a few foreigners traveling and taking photos here.

It can be said that Guangzhou has become more open.

Li Pingan knew that he was getting closer to his guess. This was also what he hoped for the most.

Then he left Guangzhou and came to the window of Hong Kong and the mainland.

This is still a small fishing village and there doesn't seem to be any major changes.

But Li Ping'an knew that this place would become one of the fastest-growing and best cities in the world in the future.

After taking a look here in advance, Li Pingan planned to be one of the first merchants to settle down here. This might be the location for his largest factory in the future.

This trip gave Li Pingan a deeper understanding of the mainland environment and made him full of confidence in entering the mainland market in the future.

Now that he had finished reading it all, Li Ping'an decided to go home.

I have been out for several days this time. I should go back early, otherwise my family will probably worry again.

Coming here, we are already very close to home.

At dinner time in the evening, Li Ping'an returned home.

When the family saw Li Ping'an coming back, they all came over happily to greet him.

Li Jingyao and Li Jingyan ran over first and held Li Pingan's arm.

"Dad, why did you go out for so long this time? We all missed you."

Li Pingan said happily to these two fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughters who still acted like spoiled brats to him, "Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket is still the best. Do you miss daddy so soon?"

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips and said, "Did they miss you? They wanted to see if you brought them gifts. Don't you know what kind of people your two daughters are?"

Li Jingyao and Li Jingyan, whose purpose was exposed by Lou Xiaoe, pouted and said, "Second Mom, you are talking nonsense. We just miss Dad. It doesn't matter if we bring gifts or not. It would be better if we did."

"Yes, we are dad's favorite little cotton-padded jackets. How can you doubt the relationship between us and dad? Don't you think it's dad?"

Li Ping'an was carrying a suitcase and his two precious daughters were shaking his arms at the door, and he was almost dizzy.

"Yes, yes. You are daddy's sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Let's go in. I brought gifts for you all."

Lou Xiaoe curled her lips in jealousy.

Miyuko smiled and took her hand and said, "Okay, you know that Ping An is a daughter slave. In his heart, no one is as good as his precious daughters. Go back quickly."

After saying that, he took Lou Xiaoe back home.

Lou Zhenghua and his mother were also very happy that Li Ping'an had returned. The whole family came over and asked him all sorts of questions.

Facing everyone's concern, Li Pingan felt warm in his heart. This is the warm feeling of returning home.

This time when he went out, he brought some small gifts for everyone while strolling around Sijiu City and Guangshi.

After a while, everyone got their favorite little gift.

In the evening, the family gathered together again to have a sumptuous dinner.

At the dinner table, Li Ping'an also answered some questions that everyone was curious about.
