The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Over the weekend, Lin Zhichao took three beauties to Lane Crawford in Central for shopping.

In Hong Kong in this era, there are too few places to go and places to date, but shopping is a permanent and good choice.

Lane Crawford is one of the two high-end department stores in Hong Kong, the other is a large British-owned department store - Yingzhijie. For Hong Kong people, especially the middle class people in Hong Kong, the education they have received since childhood is that as a middle class or even higher class, you should go shopping at Lane Crawford; going to Lane Crawford is not only shopping, but also a way for consumers to express themselves. class identity.

Of course, Lin Zhichao does not need this kind of "class recognition". It is just the European and American brand-name stores sold by Lane Crawford that attract the women around him. Lin Zhichao also likes to visit department stores, treating it as a kind of learning. After all, he will also be involved in the retail industry in the future.

"Brother Zhichao, how are you?" Tang Caiyun walked out and asked with a hopeful tone.

Lin Zhichao looked at Tang Caiyun who was trying on the outfit, and his eyes immediately lit up. He saw a colorful princess dress with a slightly fluffy hem. The waist was tightened on the upper body, and it was paired with beautiful white high heels.

Very fashionable, generous and beautiful, in line with Lin Zhichao's modern aesthetics.

If she hadn't been born in Shanghai, she wouldn't have been able to wear such a beautiful and fashionable style.

After all, Lin Zhichao has a modern mentality, and development is not difficult for him, so he has never thought about marrying a "Mrs. Zheng" or "Mrs. Li" patronage. After all, her appearance is too difficult for him.

"Brother Zhichao was dumbfounded, so why bother talking about it!" Tang Caiying joked in a quirky way.

Tang Caiyun's face turned red, and while she was happy, she gave her sister an angry look.

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "It's very beautiful! Caiying is right, I was stunned for a moment, that's it! By the way, Caiying and Xin'er, you should hurry up and choose, and I'll check out together later!"

As long as it is a girl, Lin Zhichao likes to coax her, even her younger sister.

Of course, just because he cherishes this sister, he naturally loves her very much.

"Yeah, thank you, brother-in-law!" Tang Caiying was originally envious of her sister, but she didn't expect that she could share in it, so she said happily.

When she calls her 'brother-in-law', it means that Lin Zhichao is bribing her or making her happy.

The group of people soon gained something, and then went to Lane Crawford's restaurant for dinner.

The large department stores of this era not only sold merchandise, but also operated coffee shops and restaurants. This was considered an early prototype of a ‘shopping mall’. The only difference between the two is probably - self-pickup. Since labor is cheap in this era, department stores can afford to hire a large number of clerks, which naturally does not give rise to shopping malls.

While eating, Tang Caiying suddenly sighed: "Brother-in-law, you seem to be very kind to us today. Do you want me to create dating conditions for you and your sister again?"

Tang Caiying is not only lively and smart, but also very courageous. She saw Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun hugging each other earlier, and the next day she interacted with Lin Zhichao as if nothing was wrong, without any shyness at all.

On the contrary, if Lin Xiner encountered such a thing, she would be shy in front of her brother for three days.

Lin Zhichao was naturally in a good mood when he was with three beautiful girls. He deliberately said "Hey" first and then sighed.

In this way, the three women all focused on him.

Next, Lin Zhichao deliberately said: "To be honest! I feel a little guilty. I may have to defeat you Shanghai businessmen in the mall in the past year. As a Shanghainese son-in-law, I feel somewhat ashamed. So, I just want to Earn their money and give it as prizes to two beauties from Shanghai, which can be considered as buying peace of mind!"

He lowered his voice. After all, the joke couldn't spread, otherwise he would be easily beaten.

Tang Caiying blurted out: "Then you can make more money from them! Why should you be ashamed?"

The implication is: It’s none of my business. I can still spend the money you made, but I won’t spend their money.

Lin Xiner looked at Tang Caiying dumbfounded and thought to herself, "Aren't you from Modu?"

Tang Caiyun glanced at her sister, meaning to pay attention to her image, then turned to Lin Zhichao and said: "Shopping malls are like battlefields. It all depends on your ability to make money. As long as you don't break the law or violate morality, there is no need to feel guilty."

Lin Zhichao pretended to be relieved and said: "I don't have any psychological burden now, my wife is sensible!"

A pun.

"Who is your wife? We are not married yet!"

The marriage of the two had been decided, and in January 1949, Lin Zhichao was very talkative.

This era is not absolutely conservative, not to mention that the relationship between the two has been approved by both parents and they are engaged.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Lin Zhichao's mood is different.

After the four of them had lunch, they returned to the Seymour Road Arcade.

It happened that Tang's couple was going out with their two sons, and Lin Zhichao gave Lin Xiner a look.

Lin Xiner naturally understood what her brother meant, but she couldn't help being shy, so she blushed slightly and said, "Sister Caiying, Sister Caiyun, come to our house to play!"

Tang Caiying tasted the sweetness today and without even thinking about it, she picked up her sister Tang Caiyun and was about to go to the second floor.

Soon, Lin Zhichao invited Tang Caiyun to his room alone.

Putting Tang Caiyun on his lap, Lin Zhichao was already ready to move just by smelling the woman's fragrance.

In fact, he had been feeling aggrieved for a long time.

In fact, many times during social gatherings, Lin Zhichao had the opportunity to satisfy his cravings, but he always felt that it was not worth the risk. Life is a long road, there is no need to do that.

Tang Caiyun nestled in Lin Zhichao's arms. The man's breathing was rapid, and she was both fascinated and worried.

"Brother Zhichao, we will get married in more than five months!" Tang Caiyun reminded carefully.

Lin Zhichao put his hand on Tang Caiyun's glass stockings, feeling the strange touch, and then gently began to hold them.

"Caiyun, do you really want to go to Europe with me?"

Tang Caiyun nodded, she wanted to go abroad and see!

Lin Zhichao then said: "Then you have to think clearly, I want to treat this trip to Europe as a honeymoon trip."

"ah!"

Such straightforward words left Tang Caiyun at a loss.

I saw her biting her lip gently, with a look of wanting to welcome but refusing, and fidgeting with the hem of her skirt with her beautiful hands, looking both shy and cute.

"Originally, if I were alone, I would transfer directly from London to the Federal Republic of Germany. I would probably stay at the Bern Machinery Factory for two or three days before setting off. If you want to go too, you will naturally have a good trip to London."

Seeing that Lin Zhichao was no longer speaking straightforwardly, Tang Caiyun pretended to have forgotten what he had just said, and then nodded!

"I wanna go!"

Lin Zhichao was overjoyed. The reason why he had been unable to eat meat was not due to ethics. After all, eating forbidden fruits was not uncommon in this era.

The real reason is to give face to Tang Zhongyuan and Song Qiaoling.

But if you are all going to Europe for vacation, then you don’t need to worry about it and you can implement it openly.

The two were sweet for a while, but Lin Zhichao still let Tang Caiyun go and did not take any excessive actions, including removing his armor.
