The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

Old Xu was born as an intelligence officer, so he should have encountered all kinds of situations. But this was the first time he stood on the street and stared blankly with someone. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, giving him strange looks, Old Xu couldn't help it anymore and pushed He Pingan, who was daydreaming.

"What's wrong?" He Ping'an took his mind off the space and looked at Old Xu.

"Mr. He, I think we can go to another place to think about things!" Old Xu pointed at the passers-by and said depressedly

"Sorry, I was distracted by thinking about meeting an old friend soon! Rickshaw... come here!" Looking in the direction pointed by Old Xu, He Ping'an also realized that the two of them were being treated as fools. He coughed tactically and called out to a rickshaw that was passing by.

"gentlemen!"

"Go to this address!" He Ping'an handed a note to the rickshaw driver.

"Sir, you are serious! This is the top of Victoria Peak! The luxury houses there are worth millions, and you need to be well-off to buy one. You...? I have been pulling a rickshaw for so many years, and I have never seen anyone riding a rickshaw up the mountain!"

The rickshaw driver named Ali looked at He Ping'an's address and reminded him with a wry smile. If He Ping'an and Lao Xu were not dressed in suits, he would have thought they were making fun of him.

What do you think of the current wages and prices in Hong Kong?

从事体力劳动的工人工资大约在每月50~150港币之间。一个普通文员的工资，工资大约100~300港币之间，教师要高一些400港币左右。至于其他金融、销售之类拿提成的不记。

Ordinary private property costs about 80~HKD. Public housing rental costs 250~100 HKD. The mansion worth more than billion in Repulse Bay in later generations is only million. Today, Victoria Peak is where the top rich people live in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

"If you haven't seen it, it's because you are ignorant. It doesn't matter, you will see it today! Why don't you want to?" He Ping'an took out a few gold bulls from his pocket, unfolded them, and fanned himself.

The rustling sound of banknotes attracted Ali's attention. However, thinking of Taiping Mountain, Ali said to He Pingan with a wry smile:

"Brother, please stop kidding me. It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that Taiping Mountain is too rich. We have never been there, and we don't know if they will let us in. What if someone thinks that our rickshaw lowers the status of the boss and makes them dissatisfied? In the future... I still have to rely on this to make a living!"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine! If you lose your job because of this, I will find you a job. It will definitely earn more than you earn as a rickshaw driver!" After looking at the time, He Ping'an didn't hesitate any more and sat on it directly.

Ali looked at He Pingan, who was dressed in bright clothes and had an extraordinary aura. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and started to drive towards Taiping Mountain. Seeing this, Old Xu also hurriedly called a rickshaw. Old Xu was indeed a man of intelligence background, and his brain was really good. Fearing that the driver would not take the rickshaw like Ali, he did not tell the address, but directly ordered to follow Ali's rickshaw.

He Ping'an leisurely browsed the streets of Hong Kong Island in the 1960s, which was a completely different scenery from that of the mainland.

Everywhere you can see women wearing beautiful cheongsams, glass stockings and brightly colored high-heeled leather shoes, or rich ladies wearing princess dresses, huge top hats and holding parasols.

Of course, there are also female white-collar workers wearing black patent leather high heels and a well-fitting suit, showing their confidence. However, most of the women dressed this way are foreign women with blond hair and blue eyes, and there are very few Asian faces.

He Ping'an didn't feel the same shock as those mainlanders who first came to Hong Kong Island and saw all this, as if they were seeing the world for the first time. More than half a century later, many first-tier cities, not to mention Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, are much better than here.

Rickshaw driver Ali took a moment to glance at the back seat and found that He Pingan was not resting like the previous customers. Instead, he looked around with interest as if he was visiting Hong Kong and Kowloon for the first time. He was suddenly startled, stopped the car and asked tremblingly:

"Sir, is this your first time in Hong Kong?"

"Good eyesight! Keep going, you will definitely benefit from it!" He Ping'an knew what the rickshaw driver in front of him was worried about.

Looking at the contented He Ping'an, Ali swore that if this mainlander was just bragging, he would go to Zidui to seek justice. As for calling the police, forget it...

After leaving the downtown area, the bored Ho Ping An started chatting with a rickshaw driver named Ali. Through the conversation, he learned that Ali fled to Hong Kong with his parents in 49. He had good academic performance and should have a good future.

Unfortunately, two years ago, his father accidentally offended the underworld and was kidnapped a few days later. The family spent all their money but failed to rescue him. His mother was so angry that she became bedridden. Ali had no choice but to drop out of school and make a living by pulling a rickshaw.

"Why don't you take the police exam? Not only will you have a good life as a policeman, but you can also avenge your family! Or you can join a gang. With your ability and knowledge, you can definitely make a name for yourself!" After listening to Ali's story, He Pingan asked curiously.

"The police in Hong Kong are even more evil than the gangs. As for the gangs, humph...! A gentleman is always strong in poverty, but a villain is always licentious in poverty! My father taught me that a real man should be down-to-earth and keep his head high in the sky and his feet on the ground! Besides, I don't believe they can continue to be rampant!" Ali looked down on the police and the gangs, and then suddenly changed his attitude and looked at He Ping'an pitifully:

"Sir, I have a mother to support me at home, and recently a family of three from the north came here to escape the disaster. If I lose my job, the five of us will be left with nothing! Sir, please don't play tricks on me!"

"Hahaha! Pull the cart well and perform well, and I'll promise you a bright future!"

Through the observation and conversation just now, He Pingan felt that this man named Ali was not bad: smart, quick-witted, perceptive, good at thinking and had his own persistence. He had just arrived and was short of manpower, so it might not be a problem for him to accept this kid and let him work for him.

This was not He Ping'an's impulse. It is said that there is no filial son in front of a long-term sick bed. He was able to take care of his bedridden mother and take in relatives who fled. His character was not bad. Although filial people are not necessarily good people, they are always more reassuring than others. Even a heart-piercing remark, he already knew Ali's weakness, didn't he?

"Ali, thank you, sir!" Ali didn't take He Ping'an's words seriously, but looking at He Ping'an's flamboyant appearance, his worries were relieved a lot.

Fortunately, Ali was lucky, and the thing he was worried about did not happen. Looking at the sign in front of him: Taipingshan Pule Road, Ali slowly stopped the car, as if he was worried about disturbing others, and his voice was much lower:

"Sir, we're here!"

"Here you go! Give this to the driver behind you!" He Pingan took out a thousand-yuan gold bull and a hundred-yuan 'Redwood Fish' and handed them to Ali. He glanced at Old Xu behind him, tidied his clothes, and then rang the doorbell.
