1. The night is safe and sound.

The next morning, Lu Xiyan opened his eyes and lifted up his coat. Seeing that Meng Fanxing and A Xiang were also awakened, washing and dressing up in the bathroom.

"Xiyan, you woke up and saw that you were asleep, and you couldn't bear to call you." Meng Fanxing walked over and said.

"When did I fall asleep?" Lu Xiyan sat up and asked.

"It's past three in the morning, A Xiang and I woke up. We were planning to ask you to sleep in the bedroom, but you didn't agree and said that we were giving us the bed and you could just sleep on the sofa." Meng Fanxing explained.

"Well, I'll wash my face first, let's get some breakfast." Lu Xiyan got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Dongdong...

"Who?"

"Dr. Lu, hello, I am the waiter in the restaurant on board. Mr. Sako ordered us to bring you breakfast." As soon as the door opened, a man with the identity of a waiter pushed the dining car and stood at the door.

"Thank you, A Xiang, help this waiter." Lu Xiyan nodded. He ordered a first-class ticket, including meal fees.

But he can choose to eat or not.

Of course, generally speaking, the restaurant provides the most basic breakfast, and the franchise requires additional money.

Lu Xiyan's share obviously exceeded the basic service on the mail ship. It was specially arranged by Sako for Lu Xiyan and his wife, and he was really very enthusiastic.

"Thank you Mr. Sake for me, for making him spend money." Lu Xiyan took out a dollar tip and stuffed it into the waiter's hand and said.

"Thank you, Dr. Lu." The waiter was very happy. It was rare to see such a generous guest.

Macaroni, pizza, and meat dogs, bread, milk and caviar...

Each one is not large, but it is very exquisite.

"Eat, it's okay. The person who delivered the meal just now was indeed the waiter on the boat. He knew that he often used to collect tips." Lu Xiyan said to two women who were swallowing saliva at the tempting and fragrant breakfast.

"Can you tell me this?" Meng Fanxing said suspiciously. This is a skill that only professionally trained agents possess. In her impression, Lu Xiyan did not have this training and experience.

"Xiao Wu taught me." Lu Xiyan laughed. Ma Xiao Wu was from the Military Commission Youth Training Class and was considered an excellent student, otherwise he would not have been sent to Tang Jin.

The ship follows a fixed route. This season, the sea is calm and the ship is moving fast and steadily. Occasionally, one or two cargo ships are too small than my mail ship of 5,000 tons.

Because he found Sun Yanan on the boat, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing both put away the idea of ​​going outside to blow the sea breeze. If they encounter it, it will easily cause trouble.

In fact, it's good to hide in the cabin to read books.

Lu Xiyan didn't do anything during this holiday. He was also thinking about his doctoral thesis and planned to complete it after the New Year.

However, the defense of the paper is more troublesome, but there will naturally be solutions at that time.

President Du Mei stops in Hong Kong, and then adds some supplies and fresh water, and then brings a wave of guests to continue the next voyage.

The journey was very smooth. Although they encountered a Japanese naval warship with the rising sun flag when passing through the Taiwan Strait, they did not respond to the mail ships flying the French Empire flag.

But two reconnaissance planes hovered over the sky for a while, but it made the people on the boat nervous for a while.

The Japanese Navy is already a dominant existence in this sea area. Facing such a situation, Western powers can only give in and compromise.

Of course, the pride of the Gaul rooster must be maintained, and the romantic French will swear, and you still don't understand.

This is what the chicken and duck talk about.

Lu Xiyan turned a blind eye to the outside world and was devoted to reading the books of sages. Whatever Japanese warships really want to do can't be changed by their personal strength.

It's better to pretend that nothing has happened.

Unless the Japanese have a brain in their arms, they will attack civilian mail ships at this time. You should know that there are half of European expatriates on the ship.

Japan is under considerable pressure on international diplomacy now.

If the Japanese naval officer had a hot mind and detonated the war, it would not have been a bad thing for China.

Unfortunately, they didn't do this. They just sent two planes to fly low for a few minutes, then dived at a low altitude, then turned around, showed off their might, and flew away.

This is very rampant!

After crossing the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong is not far away.

"Count the time, we will arrive in Hong Kong before 5 pm." Lu Xiyan calculated. Although the sea was calm, the monsoon was blowing at this time, and the ship was driving against the wind, and the speed was 70% of the normal speed.

At noon, Sako came again.

"Dr. Lu, the weather is good today. Why didn't you and your wife go to the deck for a walk?" Sako was very hospitable and could tell that he was a good engineer.

"Miss has a cold, and the wind is strong on the deck, so it is not advisable to blow the air."

"Oh, Dr. Lu is such a considerate gentleman." Sake praised him very much and invited him to lunch. No matter how much Lu Xiyan refused, he could only take Meng Fanxing with him.

The lunch is also very rich, which is in line with the French habits. They usually eat very well for lunch, and dinner is relatively simple.

Chinese people have simple lunches and rich dinners. Because they have been busy all day, they will have a good meal when they get home in the evening. This is the best thing.

Cultural differences will inevitably lead to differences in dietary habits. Western experiences cannot be copied to the East, otherwise they will be unacceptable to the local environment.

Lao Sa's alcohol content is very good, and Lu Xiyan can't resist it at all.

Lu Xiyan had a good estimate. After he woke up after sleeping, he saw Victoria Harbor bathing in the sunset, which was very beautiful.

Woo woo...

The sound of whistles was heard. Although Hong Kong was not as good as Shanghai, it was an international city, a small place, gathering a population of millions.

The British instead built it into a bridgehead for forces in the Far East.

After the fall of Shanghai, Hong Kong became the first city for many Shanghai rich people to move to, especially those businessmen and industrialists who were unwilling to join the Japanese. They bought property and transferred property in Hong Kong, which led to a considerable prosperity in Hong Kong.

Land and housing prices in Hong Kong also rose in response.

This is a deep-water harbor, and the mail boat can be docked directly, which is much more convenient than being on the Huangpu River. Before getting off the boat, Sako came to see him off in person.

He gave Lu Xiyan two bottles of red wine from Bordeaux winery, which he couldn't bear to drink. Lu Xiyan insisted on not accepting it, but he couldn't resist Lao Sa's persistence.

At the same time, he also gave Lao Sa a box of authentic Cuban cigars, which made Lao Sa very happy. He likes to smoke cigars, but authentic Cuban cigars are not easy to buy.

On the dock, Lu Xiyan met the looking forward to Gui Shu and Meng Hao.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you finally arrived." Meng Hao ran up excitedly, took the bag from Meng Fanxing's hand, but turned a blind eye to the bigger one in Lu Xiyan's hand.

"Boy, it's really different from closeness. I'm much heavier than your sister." Lu Xiyan laughed and scolded.

"You are a man, you should." Meng Hao paid more attention to Lu Xiyan's complaints and laughed.

"Xiaohao, please help your brother-in-law. My box is full of clothes, not heavy." Meng Fanxing smiled and took the suitcase back again.

"I'm really an extrovert." Meng Hao muttered, "Axiang, will I help you get the box?"

"No." A Xiang's answer was always concise and clear, without a single word. Except for Meng Fanxing, he rarely smiled outsiders.

It is probably only Meng Fanxing can accept such a maid. If it were someone else, I would have long since known what he would have been scolded.

How many maids are older than their masters?

"Young Master, you and the young grandma have finally arrived." Uncle Gui was very happy. He was originally an old man in the family. If there was no accident between the old couple, the Lu family would not have been like this.

"Uncle Gui, you have troubled you." Lu Xiyan stepped forward and said.

"Young master, I rented a car and squeezed it, so I should be able to get off." Uncle Gui said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, we don't give many salutes, five people, one car, can get off." Lu Xiyan laughed, "Get in the car, let's go home."

"Okay."

After pretending to give a greeting, Lu Xiyan opened the car door for Meng Fanxing and let the two women sit in. He walked around and pulled the car door from the other side and sat in.

Meng Hao drove, Uncle Gui sat next to Meng Hao and headed from the dock to their new home in Hong Kong.

The new home is in Kowloon Road, which is a wealthy area. The streets are independent small buildings. When the housing prices this year are at least 50% more expensive than last year, I will definitely be a rich man if I buy a house here.

No. 18, the number is very auspicious.

A villa with a garden, three floors above ground, one floor below ground, and one garage with a detached garage covers an area of ​​less than one acre. Such a house costs at least 100,000 yuan in today's Hong Kong.

Lu Xiyan can afford to spend this money, and it is also for a storefront. If you can't even afford to live in such a house, how can others believe in your strength?

Lao Mengtou has been standing under the steps at the door for a long time.

Finally I heard the doorbell.

Go quickly and open the door.

"Dad, why are you?" Meng Fanxing got out of the car and asked in surprise when he saw that the person opening the door was Lao Mengtou.

"Mengyao and I are the only ones at home. Mengyao is so happy. You can't let her come down and open the door for you, right?" Old Mengtou was naturally very happy when he saw Meng Fanxing, Lu Xiyan and others arrive safely.

"Master, I'll get your luggage."

"Your Uncle Gui, I will do it myself." Lu Xiyan hurriedly said, "Uncle Gui is old, how could he ask an old man to bring him such a heavy suitcase?

"The room of the young master and grandma is on the second floor."

"We live on the second floor, how many floors does Haozi and Mengyao live on?"

"Young Master Hao and the others live on the third floor." Uncle Gui said.

"That won't work. Mengyao is pregnant and is very happy. It's inconvenient to live on the third floor. Let them live on the second floor. We live on the third floor." Lu Xiyan said.

"this……"

"Uncle Gui, just listen to Xiyan and let Mengyao move down so that it is more convenient to go downstairs." Meng Fanxing said with a smile.

"Okay, since the young master and grandma said so, I'll make arrangements right away." Uncle Gui nodded.
