I have never had many memories of my mother.
All my impressions come from those old photos.
When others ask me, I will say calmly: "My mother should be very beautiful. otbnkotgt That's it, just like talking to a stranger.
But I didn't expect that one day she would come back and think of me again.
"You want to take Shan'er away" The father's expression changed slightly, as if he was unhappy.
"Yes, Shan'er doesn't have much room for development instead of living with you.
If he goes to Hong Kong with me, with my current financial resources and connections, Shan'er will definitely be able to live a good life.
We both hope that our son can become a master.
I can make him drive a good car and live in Haw Par Villa, which you can’t give him.”
I didn't like the way she spoke, the way she was giving orders to my father in a condescending way.
My father held the tea cup without saying a word.
I put down my backpack and walked out with the envelope containing one thousand yuan.
"Dad, I did a good job this time and made some money.
I respect you."
After saying that, I placed the envelope containing one thousand yuan in front of my father.
His eyes flickered slightly, he shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money.
You can use this money to buy some food and clothing."
"No, I still have it there.
Fatty and I will definitely make a lot of money after we find a way to make money.
Our family can live a good life."
After saying that, I turned around and looked at her and Lawyer Jiang, who was sitting next to me in a suit and leather tie, and smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with Hong Kong, and I don't like going there.
After all, it hasn't returned yet.
Neighbors say that maybe Hong Kong won't return.
If it is always a British place, then I don’t think I need to talk about it.
My dad and I live a good life here.”
The eviction order was given, and I had said it very politely.
My mother stood up and looked at me with some longing in her eyes, but in the end she shook her head and said: "I hope you can think about it carefully, Shan'er.
I made a reservation at Pujiang Hotel today."
We have a table together, and many of my friends in Shanghai will also attend, many of whom are well-known people.
I hope you can come.
Even if you don’t want to leave with me in the end, you can at least have a meal with me, okay.
Let me make up for the debt I have owed you over the years.”
After saying that, she left my house with her handbag and Lawyer Jiang.
I looked back at her walking through the narrow aisle.
Her fashionable long skirt was in stark contrast to the dusty walls, which was out of place.
I have no reason to think that when she left many years ago, she must have thought that one day she would be able to return to her hometown with such splendor.
After closing the door, I rolled up my sleeves and said, "Dad, I want to eat dumplings tonight, let's make dumplings.
I'll go out to buy some meat later.
I think there's some flour at home.
I'll buy a few more bottles of wine, and I'll make money, so I'll reward you."
Give yourself a try."
After saying that, I walked out with the vegetable basket, but I heard my father shouting from behind: "You should stay with your mother tonight."
I stopped, looked back at him suspiciously, shook my head and said, "No, I don't plan to go to Hong Kong.
It's good to stay in Shanghai."
"Your mother is right."

Father lit a cigarette and continued, "You can live a good life by following her, and even if you really don't plan to go to Hong Kong, you should still have a meal with her.
Regardless of the original No matter how she treats me, she will always be your mother.
She gave birth to you in ten months of pregnancy, and she doesn’t owe you anything.”
The Pujiang Hotel was one of the most famous restaurants in Shanghai at that time.
Even fat people who had eaten at famous restaurants all over the country often praised the high quality of the Pujiang Hotel.
There is one of the earliest parking lots in Shanghai at the door.
The doorman can earn more than ten yuan in tips every day.
It is said that a dish here costs hundreds.
Senior officials often dine here, and it is often used to entertain foreign guests.
I stepped off the bus, wearing that tattered jacket, a pair of Jai Alai sneakers, jeans and some messy hair.
It might be appropriate to dress up like me to drink a bowl of soy milk on the street, but if I want to enter such a high-end restaurant, I might not even be able to step through the door.
Standing across the road, I saw cars parked on the side of the road.
Those well-dressed men and women got out of the cars and walked into the Shili Foreign Market under the neon lights.
I couldn't help but smile.
Shanghai is always Shanghai.
It was the city that never sleeps before liberation, and it still is after liberation.
This is where life can be accomplished and where dreams can be buried.
"Sir, we do not allow anyone who is not in formal attire to enter."
As soon as I walked to the door, I was stopped by the doorman in red uniform.
"I don't have formal clothes, I'm here to attend a banquet."
I spoke calmly.
But I heard some people passing by making low laughter, as if they were watching monkeys in the zoo.
"Sorry, our hotel has regulations.
You are not allowed to enter without formal attire.
If you are here for a banquet, you can buy a suit from one of the nearby suit shops before coming in.
Sorry, this is a rule."
The doorman said with a touch of ridicule, "I always thought this kind of rule was a joke.
Today is an eye-opener.
I feel like I walked into Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden."
They looked at me like a monkey, and I looked at them as just penguins wearing nice clothes.
"Then it looks like we won't be able to eat today."
I turned around and was about to leave when a voice came from behind: "Ba Xiaoshan, wait a minute."
I looked back in wonder, why would someone call my name.
But I saw Jiang Shan standing at the door, smiling and saying to me: "I wanted to send someone to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself.
Come in quickly, your mother's game has already begun."
He came out and held my arm, and I hurriedly said: "I don't have formal clothes."
"It doesn't matter, whoever has the money here has the final say."
As he spoke, he stuffed a ten-dollar note into the doorman's arms.
The doorman who had been speaking righteously just now was speechless.
He opened the door for us with a smile and watched us walk into the hotel.
The Pujiang Hotel has four floors, which is not very high.
The architectural style is European, which is in line with the characteristics of the time when it was first built.
There are elevators and stairs, the front desk staff are all proficient in Chinese and English, and the marble on the floor is so smooth that it seems like my face can shine through.
"We are in Egret Hall.
Since you are here today, I still want to say something as an outsider.

It has not been easy for your mother these years.
She has carved her own world through hard work.
Many of the people here today are helpful to her career.
As a big shot, I hope you can give your mother a little face."
Jiang Shan whispered, and I nodded knowingly.
In fact, I didn't hate her that much, and there was no need to undermine her.
I am not one of those youthful and rebellious teenagers, and I will not scream that you have never taken care of me and I don’t need you.
On the other hand, he reached out and asked her for money.
I am me and she is her.
Apart from the genetic and blood relationship, there is not much involvement between us.
There were several waiters in tuxedos standing in front of the Egret Hall.
This was the first time I saw a tuxedo.
I thought it was a bit funny.
A grown man insists on getting two tails for himself.
There were many people in the hall, a huge round table.
I didn’t know every one of these people, but I had seen a few of them in the news and newspapers.
When my mother saw me, she immediately stood up and walked over excitedly.
Everyone's eyes also fell on me.
"This is" someone asked.
"This is my son, his name is Ba Xiaoshan.
He has been living in Shanghai.
Shaner, come and sit next to mother."
I didn't feel comfortable facing so many prominent people at once, so I nodded nervously and sat down with my mother.
I felt everyone's eyes focused on me.
Most of them were friendly, but some showed disgust after seeing what I was wearing.
"Shan'er, let me introduce to you.
This is Uncle Zheng from Ronghe Company.
This is Ms.
Yang from the Chamber of Commerce.
You should call her Auntie.
This is from the labor union."
My mother introduced me one by one.
I smiled like a puppet and nodded mechanically to say hello.
In the middle of the banquet, my mother raised her wine glass and toasted like a butterfly.
I heard people around me talking about topics I didn’t understand, such as business, real estate, bidding, and the economy.
It seems that I am outside of all this.
Even if I am sitting here, I cannot integrate into this meal.
Feeling bored, Jiang Shan leaned over and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing.
I just feel like I'm not used to this kind of life."
I said with a forced smile.
"It's normal.
Just get used to it.
Do you want to smoke?
Come on, go out with me and have a smoke."

Jiang Shan probably had good intentions as he pulled me out of the dining room and walked to the sofa outside
