Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

In the 1990s, the mainland was in the midst of a wave of reform and opening up, with rapid economic development and earth-shaking changes in society.

In the city, high-rise buildings are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, the streets are bustling with traffic, and people's living standards are gradually improving.

Home appliances such as televisions and refrigerators became popular, and people's entertainment lives became more colorful.

Since returning to the mainland from Hong Kong Island, Li Chunhua first visited his parents and relatives. Amid their compliments, he generously helped build a three-story house for his family as a way of repaying his parents for raising him.

When she was young, she wanted to go to Hong Kong Island to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, after going through so much trouble to sneak into Hong Kong Island, she was taught a lesson by society.

Li Chunhua didn't want to go through so much trouble anymore, so not long after returning to the mainland, she found an honest man to marry.

She has seen the world and opened a clothing store with her husband, and her business is booming.

After that, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Although her life was not extremely happy and harmonious, it was stable and comfortable.

Ni Yin stayed in Hong Kong Island for a while, playing around everywhere, and felt bored, so he ran to the mainland to look for Li Chunhua.

She was sensible since she was young and knew that it would be good for both of them if Li Chunhua took the money and returned to the mainland.

She had never blamed Li Chunhua. After all, when they were together, Li Chunhua never starved her, never beat or scolded her, and did her best to keep her well fed and clothed. It was just that their mother-daughter bond was not deep.

Li Chunhua had just seen off a customer who was buying clothes and was about to go back to the store with a smile on her face when she saw a very delicate and beautiful girl looking at her on the side of the road.

Having not seen her for more than ten years, Li Chunhua did not recognize her daughter. She greeted her warmly, "Girl, come and take a look. The clothes in our store are all popular styles in big cities."

Li Chunhua was born in a small coastal place. The shop he opened in their county town is considered to be a clothing store at the forefront of fashion and has good business.

Ni Yin did not reveal his identity, but walked in with Li Chunhua's warm greeting.

The three shops facing the street were connected, with simple decoration and clothes hanging all over the walls.

From Ni Yin's perspective, the style of the clothes can only be described as average.

"Girl, look at these jeans. The heroines in the movies all wear these..." Li Chunhua followed behind Ni Yin, introducing them non-stop.

She could see that the girl in front of her was not short of money. Although she was dressed simply, her temperament and appearance were outstanding.

Moreover, for some reason, Li Chunhua felt a sense of intimacy with her and always wanted to talk to her more.

"Is business good in the store?" Ni Yin took a shirt dress, gestured in front of the mirror, and asked.

"Not bad, young people like to buy clothes from me. Oh, look, it suits you so well!" Li Chunhua praised sincerely. She was not lying. This girl is a clothes hanger and looks good in anything she wears.

Ni Yin smiled and said, "Please help me put it together."

"Do you think you're having a good time?"

"It's okay!" Li Chunhua answered as she went to get a bag and put the folded clothes in it.

"It's not good or bad. We have a big family and there are places to spend money..."

As they were talking, two children ran in.

"Mom, mom, buy us some candied haws!" Two children in their early teens jumped and shouted, pointing outside the store.

"Shopping, spending money every day." Li Chunhua handed the bag of clothes to Ni Yin and smiled at her embarrassedly.

"You two little guys, I don't know where they get such big appetites. After eating, they want to eat this and that." As she said that, she took the money handed to her by Ni Yin, took out a two-yuan note and handed it to the older boy.

"Spend it with your sister, you hear me?"

"Oh, that's great!" The boy got the money and ran out cheering.

"Brother, wait for me." The girl hurried to chase her brother.

"A son and a daughter make up a nice family. The boss is so lucky." When Ni Yin saw the backs of the two children, something flashed in his eyes.

Li Chunhua smiled and shook her head. "What's good about it? It's exhausting every day."

"How do you take care of the children and run the store by yourself? Where is your husband?"

"He went to build a house for someone. He said he was bored at the store and had nothing to do." Li Chunhua smiled with satisfaction when talking about her husband.

Although her husband's family and her own family had their fair share of problems, her husband was down-to-earth, hardworking, and caring. Her two children, while not exactly well-behaved and sensible, were healthy and lively, and she was very content.

"You are very happy. I hope you will always be so happy." Ni Yin sincerely wished you well.

"Thank you so much!" Li Chunhua thanked with a smile. Seeing that Ni Yin was about to leave, she sent her out of the store.

The smile on Li Chunhua's face slowly faded away until Ni Yin disappeared from view.

is it you?

My Yin Yin!

Ni Yin walked a long way, and the tears he had been holding back for a long time finally could no longer be held back and fell.

Seeing that you are well is enough!

……

After coming from the mainland, Ni Yin was depressed for several days.

When Ni Yongxiao came back from outside, he saw his wife playing with their daughter in the living room and asked, "Where's Yinyin?"

"In the room." Mrs. Ni said gently, then walked over and said to Ni Yongxiao with some concern, "Yinyin seems to be in a bad mood."

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao handed his coat to Mrs. Ni and said, "I'll go take a look."

Mrs. Ni took her husband's clothes and said, "Okay, ask her carefully. Only if you say it, she will listen."

Ni Yongxiao walked up the stairs to Ni Yin's bedroom on the third floor. He knocked on the door and called out gently, "Yin Yin, it's me."

In the room, Ni Yin was staring at the skirt on the bed in a daze. Even though she said that everyone was well, she would still be affected.

"Knock knock," there was a knock on the door. Ni Yin frowned, feeling a little annoyed.

It wasn't until she heard a familiar voice that she stood up and opened the door.

"Brother, are you done?"

"Hmm!" Ni Yongxiao walked into the room and saw the clothes on the bed at first sight. "What happened?"

His subordinates told him about Ni Yin's return to the mainland, but he did not express any opinion.

It is normal for his younger sister to want to go out and about now that she is older. He is not a rigid and strict patriarch. He hopes that his family can be happy under his protection.

"It's okay!" Ni Yin walked to the sofa and sat down, then picked up the rag doll next to him and started kneading it.

Ni Yongxiao couldn't help but smile when he saw her actions.

He's just like a little kid, hitting the doll when he's angry.

"Tell your brother, who made my sister angry?" Ni Yongxiao walked over and sat next to Ni Yin.

His sister was too old to be held and comforted, so he patted her shoulder.

Ni Yin looked up at him, his mouth pursed, a little aggrieved, "I went to see her!"

Who was the "she" his sister was talking about? Ni Yongxiao immediately thought of her.

"She got married, had two children, and lived a good life."

She looked somewhat pitiful, and Ni Yongxiao immediately felt distressed.

"It's okay, you still have a brother!"

"Brother will always stand by you."

Ni Yin didn't say anything. His brother was always his brother. He had his own family and the family business was in his heart.

Alas, Ni Yin sighed, she felt lonely!

Seeing her like this, Ni Yongxiao patted her head helplessly and said, "Little girl, don't think so much."

"I'm not a little girl!" Ni Yin retorted. She was in her twenties and already an adult.

"You still say you're not a child? Whose mouth was pouting so hard that a bottle of oil could be hung on it just now?" Ni Yongxiao laughed at his sister.

"Hmph, brother, you haven't been with me for a long time. I want you to accompany me to play and go shopping." Ni Yin grabbed Ni Yongxiao's arm, shaking it and acting coquettishly.

"Good good!"
