Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

He had no idea that the speed of trains in the 1960s was only about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, so arriving in three hours was considered fast. If there was an accident, it would not be uncommon for the train to take a day.

Xiaoyue, who was originally very excited, now fell asleep in his arms.

Coming out of the train station, Chen Xu felt helpless as he looked at the six companions who followed him and looked silly.

Obviously, none of them had ever traveled far, let alone taken a boat to the sea.

Chen Xu could only plan the route by himself.

Tianjin pier.

Chen Xu looked at the itinerary on the wall in silence, but he couldn't find a direct flight from Tianjin to Gangcheng. The nearest place to Gangcheng was Guangzhou.

Turning around, Chen Xu, holding Little Moon, met six pairs of clear eyes that looked easy to deceive.

Chen Xu held his forehead with his hand. Damn, it’s so difficult to travel long distance nowadays. He thought he could go directly from Tianjin to Gangcheng, but he didn’t expect that he would have to transfer.

"Let's go, buy the tickets first, and then decide on accommodation or what to do based on the time. Follow me closely, or I won't be able to find you if you get lost."

The six of them nodded in unison, looking nervous, and even Lin Chan was not much better.

The farthest place she had been to in the past twenty years or so since she was a child was Beijing. As for now, she was said to be in Tianjin, and she knew nothing else.

The few of them were lucky enough as there was a ship from Tianjin to Guangzhou today.

Little Moon became active again, lying in the cabin and looking at the sea through the window.

Chen Xu bought a third-class ticket, a cabin for six people, just enough to accommodate the seven of them.

"Dad, is this the ocean? It's much bigger than the lake where Yuyu lives." (Muted)

Little Yueliang, a smart little girl, looked helpless. She had long been accustomed to it. As long as what she wanted to say involved the issue of space, she simply couldn't say it.

Chen Xu wanted to laugh as he hugged the little girl and told her the story of the mermaid. It looked very heartwarming.

They had to spend the next two days on the boat.

Chen Xu actually really likes watching the sea. He hadn’t seen it many times in his previous life, which was a bit regrettable.

He also wanted to be like Haizi, to have his own house, facing the sea, with flowers blooming in spring.

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford a house facing the sea in his previous life. As for this life, if he is given a little more time, he will own the ocean.

Port city.

Victoria Harbour.

It was three days later when Chen Xu arrived here with the six little tails.

Chen Xu, Lin Chan and Xiao Yueliang all looked relaxed, while the other four looked as if they had lost all hope in life.

Traveling far away is not as good as they imagined.

The sea is spectacular, but it would be boring to watch it for two or three days in a row. Especially now when you are on a ship, you cannot go to the deck at will and can only stay in the room, which is even more boring.

But at this moment, except Chen Xu and Lin Chan, everyone else was shocked by the prosperity of Victoria Harbour.

Victoria Harbour is a seaport between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. Due to its wide and deep harbor, it is a natural harbor and one of the three largest natural harbors in the world.

There are tall buildings everywhere, and it is already evening. The lights are like stars, the traffic is busy, the goods on the dock are like nebulae, and people are coming and going in an endless stream.

"Okay, stop looking and find the person who will pick us up here first."

Lin Yuan turned a blind eye to all this and kept his tone calm.

Several people came back to their senses immediately and felt a burning sensation on their faces. Compared to Chen Xu, they really were like bumpkins.

In their hearts, they admired even more the man who brought them all the way from the old city to the port city and was always calm and composed.

Chen Dan felt ashamed when he saw his cousin whose expression did not change at all. He felt that his cousin was the true successor of communism who would not be influenced by any external factors. He was far behind him.

Just now he even had the thought that it would be great if he could live in such a nice house in the future. He really felt unworthy of his cousin's expectations.

If Chen Xu knew what Chen Dan was thinking, he would probably die of laughter. That's it? It's just the standard of an 18th-tier city.

As a person from the 21st century, it is hard for me to say about other people, but if you try to tempt me with the so-called prosperity, don't blame me for laughing at you in my heart.

As for why Lin Chan was not affected by these things, it was simply because she looked down upon them.

Compared with high-rise buildings, she prefers nature. Now the layout of the space is arranged according to the most perfect model in Lin Chan's mind. In her opinion, her home is still the best place in the world.

"brother..."

A familiar voice of "brother" helped Chen Xu quickly find the person.

Many people came to pick them up, including Lou Bancheng, Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, Lou Jie, an unfamiliar young man, and Xu Xi who was held in Lou Xiao'e's arms.

Chen Xu was quite happy to meet his brothers. He pushed Xu Damao, who was about to give him a hug, aside and took the little hand from Lou Xiaoe's arms, which had been stretched out to him for a long time.

"Uncle..."

"Good little sun, you still remember your uncle."

Xu Damao was speechless. Why treat me differently? He knew Chen Xu would come and was so excited that he couldn't sleep. And you treated me like this...

Lou Xiao'e over there just hugged Lin Chan and refused to let go. Little Yueyue in Lin Chan's arms tried desperately to push Lou Xiao'e away. She was about to be squeezed into a pancake by the four big buns of Aunt Lou and her mother.

"Hey, little moon, come here, let auntie hug you..."

Xiaoyue felt hopeless and discontentedly pushed away Lou Xiaoe who had been kissing her on the face.

Lou Bancheng looked at the four guys speechlessly, feeling something was weird.

As for the few people brought by Lou Jie and Chen Xu, they were simply ignored.

After making a lot of noise for a while, Chen Xu greeted Lou Bancheng with a smile.

"Boss Lou, we meet again."

"Thanks to you, I have finally gained a foothold in Hong Kong City."

The conversation between the two was very measured. There were other people present, so many things could not be said and they could only stop at the point.

"Let me introduce you. This is my eldest son Lou Yi, Xiao Yi, and your name is Uncle Chen..."

Lou Yi: ...

Lou Yi was filled with grief and indignation. He had indeed heard of Chen Xu many times and knew that this guy was the savior of the Lou family, but Dad, you don’t have to do this. He is not older than me, right? I think it is appropriate to call him brother...

Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to disobey his father.

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Chen Xu: ...

Am I that old?

"Don't be so polite, just call me brother."

"Brother Chen."

Lou Jie, who was standing next to him, hurriedly shouted along the stairs. He was still hesitating just now. When he was in Sijiu City, he always called Chen Xu "brother". Now his father suddenly asked them to call him uncle, and he hadn't reacted yet.

Lou Yi turned around and looked at his half brother in silence, feeling extremely sad and angry.

What do you mean, kid? I call you uncle and you call me brother?

What? You still want me to call you uncle, right?

Lou Jie simply ignored his elder brother and was busy trying to get close to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was introducing the people he brought to Lou Bancheng.

"Dr. Lou."

In fact, even if Chen Xu didn't introduce them, they would have known Lou Bancheng, but this is a matter of etiquette.

"It's getting late, and my family has prepared a banquet. Let's eat and chat..."

"it is good."

Chen Xu observed the people around him calmly. These should be the bodyguards of the Lou family, and they looked pretty good.

Along the way, Lou Bancheng was also observing Chen Xu.

Faced with his introduction of the prosperity of Victoria Harbour, Chen Xu just smiled, as if the prosperity before him was just a passing cloud.

Lou Bancheng looked at the other people who were looking around involuntarily, and admired Chen Xu's determination. As expected, the winner of the first-class merit is no ordinary person, his will is too strong.

He looked at Lin Chan who had been following Chen Xu, also without looking away. Lou Bancheng felt that the two were really a good match. It was rare to see such a pair of people with such strong willpower and monster-like character.
