Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 130 Arrival

Li Ping'an has now solved the biggest worry in his heart, and he feels much more energetic.

In the afternoon, the family chatted in the room and then took the children to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.

After seven days of sailing, we are finally approaching the Hong Kong River.

Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and others had long lost the freshness they had when they first boarded the ship. They had spent the past few days in their rooms.

Looking at the vast sea every day and living in a shaky cabin, they have long wanted to experience the feeling of being down to earth.

Seeing the largest pier in Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour, from afar, Lou Xiaoe jumped up on the deck with excitement.

Yu Li and Lou's mother also smiled happily. They were finally arriving at the place they had been waiting for so long.

Ships shuttled through the bustling port.

The cargo ships here are densely packed, shuttling back and forth constantly. It is a prosperous scene. It makes people sigh that this is a huge gap from the mainland.

When the ship docked, Captain Feng Laoda came over and said, "Mr. Lou, our mission is accomplished. I wish you all the best in the future."

Lou Zhenghua also shook the other person's hand and said, "Thank you so much for your care along the way. I believe we will see each other again in the future."

After saying goodbye to Boss Feng, everyone got off the boat carrying their luggage and holding their children.

There are plenty of taxis outside the port.

A few people got into two taxis and drove towards the hillside villa that Lou Zhenghua had just bought.

Along the way, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li kept their eyes wide open, staring at the scenery along the way.

There are tall buildings, small cars, and the occasional double-decker bus passing by.

There are people coming and going on both sides of the street, and shops and restaurants are next to each other.

All of them show the prosperity of Hong Kong.

This was very novel to Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e, who had grown up in Beijing.

Even Lou's mother kept looking outside. She had never seen such a prosperous city.

Lou Zhenghua sighed and said, "Look at the speed of development here. I don't know when our country will be so prosperous! We still need several generations of hard work to develop."

Mother Lou held his hand and said, "I know you care about the country and want to do your best for its development. But you are old now, so you still need to take care of your health. If there is anything in the future, let Ping An run more. Our family will depend on him in the future."

Lou Zhenghua patted her hands and said, "I understand. I will train Ping An and the others well. When they are able to take charge of the overall situation, I will stay home with you to look after the grandchildren."

After a while, the car arrived in front of the villa bought by Lou Zhenghua.

The environment here is beautiful, surrounded by green trees all the way up. The houses on both sides of the road are also European style. And the distance between each house is quite far. It has better privacy and wide space.

The area coming up from the bottom of the mountain is surrounded by tall walls and strict security measures.

This is one of the safest places in Hong Kong.

After getting off the car, a three-story villa appeared in front of us.

After entering the gate, there is a spacious lawn and a pond with several fish swimming in it.

On the other side there is an entrance to an underground garage.

Lou Xiao'e looked at such a large place and said happily, "Dad, is this our home from now on?"

Lou Zhenghua was also very happy and said with a smile: "Yes, we will live here from now on."

After opening the door, Lou Xiaoe rushed in impatiently, walked around the spacious living room, and then ran to the second floor to take a look.

Li Pingan and others also followed in and looked from the first floor to the third floor.

The first floor is the dining room, kitchen, living room and two servants' rooms.

The second floor also has a living room, four bedrooms and a study. The third floor has three bedrooms, one large and two small, and they are suites. There is also a living room, a study, and a cloakroom.

The overall space is very large, more than enough to accommodate their family.

After negotiation, Li Ping'an, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e lived on the third floor.

Lou Zhenghua and his wife lived on the second floor, and they would clear out two rooms for Li Haoran and Li Haoyu to live in. They also had to get used to sleeping in separate beds.

When Lou Zhenghua left last time, he had already bought some daily necessities, including bed sheets and quilt covers.

Moreover, his friend lived not far away and often sent people to clean up.

They can move in with their bags today.

However, there are still some personal items and kitchen items that need to be purchased.

Lou Zhenghua took Li Ping'an to the underground garage, where two cars were already parked.

Lou Zhenghua took out two keys and handed them to Li Pingan.

"This is the car I asked my friend to buy for me before I left. You can drive whichever one you like."

"But you haven't processed your ID yet, and you don't have a driver's license either. Wait a few days until you've processed them before driving. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if you get caught."

Li Ping'an took a look and found that the two vintage cars were almost the same.

"Dad, it doesn't matter to me. Any one will do."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenghua just gave Li Pingan a key.

Li Ping'an took the key and started the car.

"Dad, I'm going to get familiar with the car first and buy some things at the foot of the mountain. Should that be okay?"

Lou Zhenghua thought for a moment and said, “Well, as long as you don’t run too far, there should be nothing wrong around here. Most people won’t come here to check.”

After hearing this, Li Ping'an drove out of the gate.

He drove all the way down the mountain along the same route he had come.

There are a lot of security personnel checking here.

However, they had registered when they first came in, and the security guards also knew Li Pingan, so it was relatively smooth to go out.

Li Pingan arrived at the street at the foot of the mountain and bought some kitchen seasonings, pots and pans, etc. He also took out a lot of fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat from the space.

After arriving here, he finally didn't have to hide anything anymore. He could take out the things in the space and use them at any time. He could buy anything here, and he didn't have to worry about others' suspicion.

Li Pingan drove back to the villa, and the family began to pack up and put away their belongings.

Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li were full of curiosity and love for this new home. They were busy decorating the rooms and choosing their favorite furniture.

In the evening, Lou Zhenghua decided to hold a simple dinner in his new home to celebrate the family reunion.

Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the sumptuous meal and chatting happily.

The two little ones who can run couldn't hold back any longer and ran around all over the spacious home.

After dinner, they had fun playing around on the lawn outside.

Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li also happily played outside. There was no longer the restrained environment of the old city, and their nature began to relax. After all, they were only girls in their twenties.

Lou Zhenghua and Li Pingan sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

"Ping An, everyone take a rest today. Tomorrow I will take you to complete the naturalization procedures and identity verification. Then we can go for a walk around the neighborhood together."

Li Pingan looked at the somewhat empty house, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Dad! I have a few friends here, I want to go find them. Our family needs a nanny and a driver. Otherwise, Xiao'e and the others won't be able to take care of such a big house alone."

Lou Zhenghua said with some surprise: "Ping An, do you really know someone? Is he reliable?"

"Dad, don't worry. Although I can't tell you where they came from, they are definitely trustworthy."

"Besides, they are all very skilled. Usually, more than a dozen people can't get close to them."

"That's great. I was thinking of asking my old friends to introduce a few people to us tomorrow. It will make us feel more at ease if we have our own people."

"Then I'll have them come over tomorrow morning, and then we'll go through the naturalization procedures together."

"Okay, that's best."

The two talked about future developments, and Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e also came back with their children.

Everyone was tired after sitting on the boat for several days, and now they wanted to go to bed early and rest.

Li Pingan, Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe returned to the third floor with the children.

They are the only family left in such a big house.

The children were already tired, so the three of them hurriedly gave them a bath.

Let them sleep first.

Then Li Pingan took a shower and came out.

Yu Li put the two children in the next room and coaxed them to sleep.

Lou Xiao'e slept in another room with her two young children.

After a while, Yu Li got into bed.

Li Pingan hugged her and kissed her gently. Yu Li hugged Li Pingan and said, "Pingan, I didn't expect this place to be so much more prosperous than the old city. I was almost dazzled by it all the way."

Li Pingan said, "Yes, this place is different from ours, so it develops a little faster. Believe me, in the future, every place in our country will be more prosperous than here."

"Tomorrow we will go and complete the naturalization procedures, and then I will take you around the neighborhood. I'll buy you some clothes and stuff. The clothes here are very different from what we wear back then."

Yu Li was thinking about what to buy tomorrow. She had her own things and children, and her husband also needed to buy some clothes.

While she was lost in thought, Li Ping'an's big hands were already moving around.

After a while, a sound that made people's heart beat faster was heard in the room.

When Yu Li fell asleep exhausted, Li Ping'an quietly came to Lou Xiao'e's room again.

Lou Xiao'e seemed to have expected it. She didn't even lock the door and waited for Li Ping'an to come.

As soon as she got into Lou Xiao'e's bed, she couldn't wait to hug Li Ping'an.

Another round of crazy movement.

Lou Xiao'e rested her head on Li Ping'an's arm and said, "Ping'an, I feel that the life I have now is what I want. I want to stay with you forever."

Li Pingan hugged her and said, "I won't let you leave me either."

And so, the two of them chatted.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e fell asleep.

Li Ping'an looked at the sleeping Lou Xiao'e and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Then he quietly went out, he had things to do tonight.
