Then!
Lin Zhengyi left the Yau Ma Tei police station and went to a nearby seafood restaurant called Fu Ding!
This is a high-end seafood restaurant where a meal costs over a thousand yuan per person.
Back then, the average salary in Hong Kong was only three or four thousand.
It's fair to say that this restaurant is quite expensive.
However, one of Lin Zhengyi's greatest hobbies in both his lives was eating!
As an orphan in his previous life, he never ate anything good. Although the orphanage provided food and drink, it was only enough to ensure he wouldn't have to worry about anything or die. The food was really mediocre. Therefore, as he grew up, he naturally developed a love for food.
As long as his financial situation allows, he wants to try any hotel or restaurant, no matter how expensive.
And this custom has continued into the world.
Therefore, even though the seafood restaurants in Fuding are not cheap, he still chose to eat there.
Yes, this seafood restaurant is very famous throughout Hong Kong and is known as a paradise for seafood lovers. He had been craving it for a long time, but he just didn't have the time. Today, he happened to be at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, so he decided to have a meal there.
quickly!
After enjoying a sumptuous seafood feast to his heart's content, Lin Zhengyi asked the restaurant to prepare a few more dishes, which he then packed up before taking a taxi home with the food.
Chapter 9 An Elder Who Doesn't Disappoint
Lin Zhengyi was not born an orphan, but rather became an orphan later in life.
He had a father and a mother at the beginning.
But when he was eighteen, both of his parents passed away from illness.
Because he died of illness, his treatment had cost a lot, and his parents were just ordinary people with little wealth, so all they left him was a house.
The house is located in Tsim Sha Tsui and is an old-style apartment building.
Its decoration and various supporting facilities are very average, but the advantage is that it is adjacent to the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui area, which makes shopping convenient, and the house price is relatively high.
Yes, Hong Kong's property prices are already high, and Tsim Sha Tsui is a bustling area in Hong Kong, an area of unparalleled prosperity. Naturally, the property prices in the surrounding area are relatively high, with one property costing at least the equivalent of two or three properties in some ordinary areas.
but!
Lin Zhengyi had no intention of selling the house, so the house price was not very meaningful to him.
After entering the building, he went up to the third floor and arrived at the front door of his home, which consisted of two doors: an iron door and a wooden door. However, he did not go into his own home immediately, but instead turned around and knocked on the door of the room opposite his home.
"Dong dong!"
"Who?"
A rough voice, tinged with a hint of lewdness, followed.
Next!
"Squeak!"
As the door opened, a very lewd yet classic face came into Lin Zhengyi's view.
Cao Dahua!
The future Tiger of the Major Crimes Unit, the originator of the "soft rice hard" style!
He is also Lin Zhengyi's uncle in this life!
Well, although he lost both his parents, he still has relatives.
Among his relatives, Lin Zhengyi's closest relative was undoubtedly his uncle, Cao Dahua.
Back then, after Lin Zhengyi's parents died from illness, all their savings were spent, leaving Lin Zhengyi struggling even to afford food.
However, this is not a big problem for Lin Zhengyi, who has lived two lives.
After thinking about it for a moment, he came up with a solution.
Mortgage the house to get money to tide you over, and then earn it back later!
For Lin Zhengyi, who has lived two lives and comes from the more advanced 21st century, making money in this era is not difficult, and earning back the house is even easier!
But when Cao Dahua found out about this, he went directly to him, not only dissuading him from the idea, but also guaranteeing, as his uncle, that he would cover Lin Zhengyi's living expenses until he graduated.
In his words, "Your uncle is still here, how could he let you fall to the point where you have to mortgage your house just to eat? Your uncle will take care of everything for your education from now on!"
At last!
He also kept his word.
Even after Lin Zhengyi entered Cambridge with high scores, received scholarships, tuition waivers, and living allowances, and no longer needed money, Cao Dahua still insisted on sending him 1,000 pounds every month for living expenses.
In four years, he earned nearly 50,000 pounds.
You should know that these days, one pound sterling was roughly equivalent to eight Hong Kong dollars, so fifty thousand pounds sterling was equivalent to four hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
In those days, even in Hong Kong, it was impossible for 90% of families to come up with that much money all at once.
However, Cao Dahua gave it without any hesitation.
This shows how much he loves his nephew, Lin Zhengyi!
"Justice!"
Upon seeing that it was Lin Zhengyi, Cao Dahua quickly stepped aside and said, "Come, come, come in quickly!"
"Uncle, I just went to Fuding Seafood Restaurant for dinner. After I finished eating, I packed some late-night snacks for you!" Lin Zhengyi said with a smile as he entered the house.
immediately!
He casually placed the packaged food he was carrying on the dining table in the room.
"Fuding Seafood Restaurant?"
Cao Dahua's eyes lit up. After closing the door, he quickly went to the table and opened several packaging bags.
Suddenly!
A scent hits my face.
He then opened the packaging boxes and examined each item.
Steamed lobster, braised abalone, bird's nest soup, and a plate of sea urchin fried rice.
"Wow!"
Cao Dahua rubbed his hands together, and as he sat down, he said excitedly, "Not bad, not bad!"
As he spoke, he eagerly picked up the chopsticks beside him, ready to start eating.
At the same time, he didn't forget to invite Lin Zhengyi, "Come on, Zhengyi, have some with us!"
As an elder, Cao Dahua has a characteristic that most elders do not have.
Not a spoiler!
When elders see you buy expensive things, even if they are happy inside, they will say things like you are wasting money and don't want to do it next time. Some may even scold you for not knowing how to save money, completely ruining your good mood!
But Cao Dahua never did. No matter how expensive Lin Zhengyi bought something, he would happily accept it.
"No need, I'm already full!" Lin Zhengyi refused with a smile.
"Fine, I'll eat it myself!"
Cao Dahua nodded and didn't try to persuade him any further.
He knew Lin Zhengyi wasn't just being polite; they were family, and there was no need for formalities between them. He also understood Lin Zhengyi; he genuinely couldn't eat anymore, which was why he said that.
Then, he picked up his chopsticks and ate with relish. As if remembering something, he said, "By the way, Zhengyi, your job is gradually becoming more stable. Shouldn't you start thinking about marriage?"
Lin Zhengyi was taken aback at first, then said helplessly, "Uncle, I just graduated not long ago, I don't have that kind of thought!"
Once elders reach a certain age, they automatically awaken their ability to persuade others to get married.
Lin Zhengyi originally thought that since he had lost both his parents, he would never have this experience, but he never expected that he couldn't escape it in the end!
You need to have this in mind!
While eating, Cao Dahua looked at Lin Zhengyi with a serious expression and said, "As the saying goes, 'Settle down and start a career.' You've already started your career, so it's time to think about settling down."
He paused, then sighed, "Before your mother passed away, she entrusted me to take good care of you and watch you get married and start a family. Now you've achieved that, and all that's left is to get married. So, as your uncle, I'll have done right by your mother once you've settled down!"
"Alright, alright, Uncle, I'll think about it!" Lin Zhengyi reluctantly agreed.
He knew that Cao Dahua was doing this for his own good.
Moreover, since Cao Dahua had already put it this way, it wouldn't be good for him not to agree.
Of course, most importantly, he said he would consider it, but he didn't say when he would decide!
"Don't even think about it!"
After saying that, Cao Dahua put down his chopsticks and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, there's a female teacher at our school who's excellent in every way. Whether it's her looks or her education, she's impeccable. Lots of guys are pursuing her; she's definitely not someone you can miss!"
He paused, then chuckled and said, "However, being in the right place makes things easier. Your uncle is her colleague, so I'll arrange for you to meet, chat, have a meal, and if things go well, then make your move!"
Female teacher?
Upon hearing what Cao Dahua said, Lin Zhengyi immediately pictured a beautiful and intelligent woman in his mind.
Speaking of female teachers at school, and who are also colleagues of his uncle Cao Dahua, and have many suitors, then the only one who is the female lead He Min who is skipping school is probably He Min.
Think of this!
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhengyi said, "Then it's up to you, Uncle!"
If it's He Min, then it's definitely worth considering.
Besides, meeting doesn't mean we have to get married right away.
Even if we take a step back and say that the other person really makes you want to get married the moment you meet them, then you should get married. He just doesn't want to get married so early, not that he doesn't want to get married at all.
If such a person really appears, then marriage is perfectly fine!
"Okay, I'll get in touch with you later!" Cao Dahua said happily.
"Alright, Uncle, you eat first. I'm a little sleepy and need to go back to rest!" Lin Zhengyi yawned.
"Go on, go on, go and get some rest!" Cao Dahua waved his hand.
