I went to China for the Chung Yeung Festival for 3 days and grave sweeping for both my father and grandfather, and I brought a mobile phone for my uncle as well.
My uncle asked me to help him buy a mobile phone around $1500 Hong Kong dollars. It's difficult to buy a good phone except China brand name. Eventually I bought Sony Xperia XA at the price $1750.
The reason for me to buy a Japan brand name mobile phone was there was no need to buy a China mobile brand name product in Hong Kong and then bring it back to China. Also, there were many battery exposure case for the Korean brand name mobile product. I daren't buy such brand name. Therefore, I chose a Japanese brand name. Luckily, I found such model at the price below $2000, and I was satisfied for the outlook and performance for it.
I have not asked him to give me money but I told them the money was used to look after my grandmother. Because we have recruited a servant to look after my grandmother and cooked for the meal.
The salary for the servant is $3000 RMB dollars and the fee for buying ingredient for cooking is $700 per month.
My mother was given around $10,000 for recruiting servant at Happy new year to my uncle in advance. My father has 3 sisters. Thus, my mother and I were only needed to share $1000 totally per month.
