Chapter 158 Hong Kong City ID Card
Gu Xiuxiu was a little tired after walking around, so she sat down to rest.
Hong Gu brought a young maid to bring cakes, fruits and tea. The boiled water was for Gu Xiuxiu, who was not in good health and could not drink beverages, while the coffee was brought to Lu Jiaxin.
The coffee had a strong aroma. Lu Jiaxin smelled it and said with a smile: "I have read in a book that there is a kind of coffee beans extracted from cat excrement. The aroma is a bit like chocolate and a bit like fruit. Aunt, this is not cat feces coffee?"
Hong Gu and the maid looked at her in surprise.
Gu Xiuxiu did not expect Lu Jiaxin to be so knowledgeable. She smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is cat feces coffee, also called civet coffee. I can't drink coffee in my current body. If you like it, bring all the coffee from home when you go back tomorrow."
Lu Jiaxin hurriedly shook her head and said: "I don't like coffee, I like scented tea, which has the effect of health preservation and beauty."
In the previous life, she often stayed up late since studying abroad, and her three meals were irregular and her work and rest were irregular, which led to stomach cancer at a young age. In this life, she wants to live to 80 years old, eat three meals on time, have a regular work and rest schedule, and never touch coffee.
Gu Xiuxiu laughed: "How old are you? Why do you want to take care of yourself? When your body is well, you can eat whatever you want and play whatever you want. When you are old, your body will not allow you to eat and play."
Taking care of health does not mean that you can't eat or play, but you just need to restrain yourself.
After talking for a while, Gu Xiuxiu asked Hong Gu and the maid to go back to the house, and then asked Lu Jiaxin: "You came here in a hurry to apply for an ID card. Are you going to do something to that woman?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "I wanted to do it a long time ago, but she has my father to protect her, and I have many concerns. This time I came here to apply for an ID card, so I don't have to worry about it."
The guardian has become Gu Xiuxiu, so she is not afraid of falling out with Lu Hongjun.
Gu Xiuxiu didn't ask how to deal with Ding Jing, but just reminded: "That woman can make your father listen to her, which shows that she is scheming and skillful. You should be more careful with her, don't let her calculate it."
"Don't worry, aunt, I know what's going on."
The two chatted for a long time, and the housekeeper came back with Gu Haifan. When she saw Gu Haifan, she immediately understood why Gu Xiuxiu brought this child here. His eyebrows and eyes are four or five points like Gu Xiuxiu, and his big eyes with clear black and white are innocent.
Gu Xiuxiu called Gu Haifan to her side and said, "Haifan, this is your cousin Jiaxin."
Gu Haifan saw that Lu Jiaxin was a little embarrassed and spoke in a low voice: "Hello, cousin, I am Haifan."
Lu Jiaxin could understand him seeing this. In the countryside, three meals a day were a problem. Suddenly coming to a prosperous city like Gangcheng and living in a mansion, he must be uneasy and even feel unreal.
The next day, He Bin took her to the Hong Kong Island Personnel Registration Office to apply for an ID card. Hong Kong City now uses the third-generation ID card, which requires a headshot and a paper model of the person concerned, and the information is also filled in with a typewriter. Because all the information was prepared, He Bin asked someone yesterday, so it went smoothly.
Lu Jiaxin found a problem during the application process, that is, the seals issued were green and black. She was very surprised, and after leaving the office, she pointed to the ID card and asked: "Why is this seal green?"
He Bin explained: "The issued seals have different colors and represent different meanings. The color of yours means that you have not lived in Hong Kong for seven years, and you can tell at a glance that you are a person who has just come here; the other black seal is a permanent resident of Hong Kong City."
Lu Jiaxin had never heard of it.
He Bin reminded: "You must bring your ID card when you go out in Hong Kong City in the future. If you encounter a police officer asking for your ID card, you may be taken to the police station by the police station if you don't bring it with you."
Lu Jiaxin nodded to show that she understood. In her previous life, she watched a lot of Hong Kong police and gangster movies, both movies and TV series, and there were often clips of checking ID cards in them. As for the reason, she also knew that in the 1970s and 1980s, there were many gangs in Hong Kong, and those members of the gangs often caused trouble.
"Wait here, I'll drive the car over."
The car was parked far away. While waiting for the car, Lu Jiaxin saw a newsstand nearby and walked over to buy a copy of the entertainment and economic newspapers and magazines for the past three days.
When Lu Jiaxin got on the car, He Bin saw that she was holding the Economic Herald in her hand: "Miss cousin, are you still reading the Economic Herald?"
"To kill time."
Because Lu Jiaxin had to rush back, He Bin sent her to the port after the ID card was processed. After getting off the car, he brought two boxes of things to her: "This is what the old lady prepared for you. She also told you to eat it every day so that you can get better quickly."
Lu Jiaxin didn't refuse and took it very quickly. She remembered all the kindness of her aunt to her and would be filial to her in the future.
On the way back, He Bin asked the driver Hu Ming: "A Ming, what do you think of our cousin?"
The cousin knows nothing. It's fine that he can't speak Cantonese, but he can't even use a flush toilet. That's why the servants in the house look down on him. That's why the cousin is very cautious in everything he does. But this cousin is not afraid of the stage at all when she comes to Hong Kong.
Hu Ming and He Bin are distant cousins. He introduced this job to him and told him everything he knew: "The cousin has a bad temper. She showed a bad face to Hong Gu as soon as she came. When she moves in, I'm afraid she will be in trouble."
Who is Hong Gu? She not only takes care of the old lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also saved the old lady's life. Now she is the person the old lady relies on the most, even Mei Gu is a step behind. If you offend her, you will have a bad time moving in.
He Bin thought about what he had learned in Sijiu City and said, "My cousin is not a simple person. You should be polite to her in the future, understand?"
The girl is arrogant, but she is capable and courageous. In Hong Kong, it is easy for a beautiful, capable and courageous girl to stand out. Everyone in the He family covets the property in the hands of the old lady, but this cousin does not want the mansion that is delivered to her door. The old lady may have to rely on her in the future!
Hu Ming nodded in agreement.
He Bin remembered something: "A Ming, I remember you were going to buy a house, have you found one?"
Hu Ming said he had found one, but he hadn't signed the contract yet. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Cousin, that house is beyond our budget, and we were planning to give up. My wife called this morning and said that the manager of the building is willing to give us a discount of 75%."
He Bin sat up straight as soon as he heard it: "The real estate market has been sluggish in recent years, but there is no such low discount. A Ming, there must be a problem here, you have to be careful."
Hu Ming was also worried about this, so he refused, and was scolded by his wife: "Cousin, who do you think it could be?"
He is now driving for the old lady, not only the salary is higher than before, but also very leisurely. If the old lady gets into trouble, where can I find such an easy and high-paying job?
He Bin was not sure about this either, he said: "It's hard to say, anyway, don't take what you shouldn't take, don't touch what you shouldn't touch. They go to jail and spend some money and get out quickly. If we go in, no one will help us, and when we come out in a few years, our wives and children may become someone else's, it's not worth it."
"I know, cousin."
"We still have to buy a house, how much money do you need, I'll lend it to you first."
