Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 55 Emotions (First update, please collect, read, and vote)

Arlene's family was wealthy when she was a child, but her father later went bankrupt and Arlene's life became difficult. Arlene's father left Shaw Brothers in 72 to start a company, but later went bankrupt due to poor management.

Moreover, Arlene's father was also very unfaithful, so he had long-term quarrels and cold wars with Arlene's mother and they lived separately.

Arlene's father had a lover outside and didn't care about the family at all. Her mother took her younger brother away from Hong Kong Island, and Arlene started working part-time when she was a teenager.

However, there are too many students working part-time, and the only part-time jobs students can do are waiters, tutors, etc.

Arlene earns more because she tutors Li Song, because other tutors only make a few dozen Hong Kong dollars an hour at most. Nowadays, an ordinary worker only makes about 20 Hong Kong dollars an hour. She is an ordinary worker, not a high-income white-collar worker.

Li Song paid HK$100 an hour, two hours on Saturday afternoon, four hours on Sunday morning and four hours in the afternoon, which is exactly HK$1,000 a week, and four weeks a month, which is HK$4,000.

The key is that Alin is stable with Li Song, and Li Song treats her like a wooden man. Girls who work as tutors, especially pretty girls, sometimes encounter some troubles. Some hostesses are worried, and some male tutors talk nonsense.

The key point is that Arlene’s academic performance is not very good, so she has no advantage in tutoring other subjects.

Li Song's situation is much better. He only needs to learn Cantonese and English and doesn't need to learn other subjects.

So when Arlene was a teenager, she made up her mind that she must be rich in the future.

Because in Arlene's understanding, the reason why her parents' marriage is like this is because of her father's bankruptcy.

I believe that as long as there is money, there should be no conflicts in the family.

Most children who come from unhappy families have some biased cognition, which will cause them to have problems in their later life.

In addition, when young, one can only see the surface of things and even stubbornly believe that their ideas are correct.

When you realize that you are wrong later, it is already too late.

"I?"

"I haven't thought about this question. Maybe it's okay this way." When Li Song heard Alin ask him this question, he didn't know how to answer it because he was not sure what his future would be like.

"Brother Song, you need to change your personality. You're like a wooden man. In the future, when you get along with your colleagues at work, you should communicate more. When you have a girlfriend, you should also communicate more and show more care." Arlin was not surprised at all when she heard Li Song say this, and spoke.

"Okay!" Li Song's answer left Alin speechless.

Not long after Li Song and Alin walked over, several young men in school uniforms came out from the alley next to them.

"Plop, Yudan Cong, luckily you have a sharp eye."

"Yeah, yeah, otherwise we'd meet Mr. English. This guy is a pervert."

"It's over, my A'lin." These young men were the ones who were beaten up by Li Song last time. They were also on vacation. They saw the beauty from a distance and were about to come up to flirt with her when they were pulled into the alley by Yudan Cong.

"Pity."

"What a shame! Stay away from Arlene from now on and don't get us into trouble."

"Exactly. Look at the bulge inside that bastard's sweatshirt. Who knows what's hidden inside."

"That's right, that's right, we can't come to this area anymore."

"Yes, let's go somewhere else."

Of course, Li Song didn't know that Yudan Cong and others were hiding from him. After returning home with Alin, he started talking and learning foreign languages.

When Alin left in the afternoon, Li Song gave her five hundred Hong Kong dollars because she taught for five hours in the afternoon.

After Arlene left, Li Song continued writing.

On Sunday, Li Song continued to study foreign languages ​​and his Cantonese was almost up to par. Because Li Song had to go to the company on Monday, he told A Lin that he had something to do and A Lin didn't say anything.

"Happy New Year!" Before leaving, Li Song gave Alin a red envelope.

"Thank you, Brother Song, and Happy New Year to you too." Alin nodded, then left with the red envelope. This year was the Little New Year, and her father had also returned from Wanwan.

The original owner of Li Song was from the north, and he should have celebrated the Little New Year yesterday. The Li Song of 2080 is from the south, and now he lives in Hong Kong Island, so he also celebrated it today.

"Father, Mother, I wonder how you are doing!" Li Song thought of his parents in another time and space while cooking, and his heart was heavy.

In 2080, Li Song's relationship with his parents was not actually very good, because they had lived together for a long time and had many conflicts. But after leaving, Li Song felt what relatives should be like.

"Oh, I don't know how the original owner's parents are doing. I should ask the mainland to send some money over." Li Song thought of the original owner's parents again, feeling a little guilty.

Li Song bought a fish and a pig's trotter. The fish symbolizes abundance every year, and the pig's trotter symbolizes windfall, so today's pig's trotter is more expensive than usual.

After the meal was ready, Li Song looked at the soybean pork knuckles and steamed sea bass on the table, and felt even more lonely for no reason.

"Alas, I miss my family more during every festive season!" Li Song felt his emotions burst out at this moment.

When he first came here, Li Song was actually quite afraid of this world, so he went to Tian Jiahui to apply for an ID card, and he used a grenade to scare the other party right away, which was actually to cover up his inner fear.

Later, Li Song walked step by step to where he is today, and only then did he feel that he had a foothold in this world.

I am usually busy with this and that and don’t have time to think about these things, but when it comes to holidays, my emotions suddenly burst out.

Every bit of the original owner's memory is like an unforgettable movie, as well as his own memories.

For a moment, Li Song couldn't tell whether he was watching a memorable movie or dreaming.

"Cheers to myself!" Li Song poured himself a glass of Coke and drank it all in one gulp.

"Delicious!" Li Song picked up a piece of soft and glutinous pig's trotter and ate the pig skin in one bite. Only then did he feel much better about his negative emotions.

"To the future!"

"Cheers... Never mind, keep drinking." Li Song entertained himself and quickly put aside his negative emotions.

The saying "Fat House Happy Water" is true, the more you drink it, the happier you feel.

"I still need to make friends and socialize." Li Song felt that he couldn't do this and had to change himself, otherwise his negative emotions might erupt again at any time.

After finishing his meal, Li Song didn't want to wash the dishes, so he simply packed up and went out.

As he walked along, Li Song looked at the people hurrying on their way and guessed that their families were waiting for them.

I watched the owner's family, young and old, eating at a small table in the shop. The elders had wine glasses in front of them, the younger ones had drinks, and the children were drinking their drinks while glancing at the hanging TV.

These shops are relatively small and the TVs are hung relatively high.

Occasionally a customer comes in to buy something, and the owner greets him warmly.

Li Song came to the beach. He could smell the salty and humid sea breeze and see the lights of ships coming and going in the sea, as well as the lights of tall buildings.

Li Song had never felt that the world was so vivid. Every person seemed like a story, and every scene was a painting, filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, the ups and downs of life, happiness, and perhaps even sadness.

"Brother, do you want to play?" Suddenly a woman's voice came.

"Uh……."
