Lu Yan was eating when she suddenly had a stomachache. Then she realized something was wrong, so she went to the restroom. When she came back, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Mom, am I sick? I saw blood."
Lu Zhixia instantly realized that the girl had grown up, so she quickly took her back to her room, changed her into clean pants, and taught her how to use sanitary napkins, popularizing knowledge about women.
Lu Yan blushed as she realized what had happened. She had seen those things in the school restroom before, but she had simply ignored them.
So this is what growing up is like; I feel incredibly shy.
Lu Zhixia made her daughter a cup of brown sugar ginger tea and watched the child drink it.
"If you have a stomachache, you should rest in bed and avoid getting chilled. If you feel unwell tomorrow, please take the day off."
Lu Yan said, "No, I definitely have to go to school tomorrow, otherwise they'll think I'm scared!"
Lu Zhixia felt that her daughter's personality, as she grew older, was becoming more and more like her own—a very stubborn person.
That's good, at least I won't be bullied outside.
Lu Zhixia said, "Then you should rest early. If it hurts too much, take a painkiller out of the drawer."
Lu Yan nodded; she now understood everything about women. She knew these things were normal and wouldn't lead to death.
Lu Zhixia returned to the dining table and saw that they had almost finished eating.
Cai Wei couldn't help but sigh, "A few years ago I was just a little girl, and now I've grown up. Time really flies!"
Lu Zhixia: "Of course, look at those two brothers, aren't they good-looking too?"
Cai Wei looked at the twin brothers. She had regrets and shortcomings in her life. But now they had all been made up for, and she had no regrets anymore.
"Xiaxia, thank you!"
Lu Zhixia had just finished eating a wonton when her mother-in-law said something so touching that she was puzzled. She looked at her...
"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit sentimental. You eat first." Cai Wei scooped another spoonful of wontons for her daughter-in-law.
"It won't taste good when it's cold, so eat more."
Lu Zhixia didn't say anything and continued eating. Because she had been delayed for a while, the wontons weren't very hot, which made her eat a few more than usual.
After watching the evening news, they each went back to their rooms to rest.
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao hugged each other as usual.
Lu Zhixia said, "Have I been neglecting my daughter? I should have talked to her a long time ago."
Gu Lingxiao said, "It's not that you neglected it. Time flies by too fast, and you're usually quite busy, so you overlooked this matter."
Lu Zhixia said, "From now on, I will be less busy and pay more attention to the children, hoping they will grow up healthy."
Gu Lingxiao had an idea, so he lowered his head and kissed him to end the conversation.
Time flies.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and in 1993, Chinese people began to speculate on stocks.
Lu Zhixia thought she could make money, so she invested 50,000 yuan, and overnight, it turned into more than ten times her initial investment.
The whole family was at a loss when faced with this huge sum of money.
Cai Wei exclaimed, "This money is too easy to earn, all in just one night!"
Gu Dongsheng said, "At the time, we thought that the money might not be returned for a certain period of time."
Lu Zhixia said, "I never expected to earn so much money. This is a huge sum of money all of a sudden."
Gu Lingxiao put his arm around Lu Zhixia's waist. "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a courtyard house a while ago? Luckily, we have enough money now."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then let's buy it. I think it will definitely grow in the future."
Cai Wei: "Buy it, you must buy it. I have some savings left, I'll give them all to you."
Cai Wei went back into the house, and when she came out again, she had a bankbook in her hand.
"All the money you've given me over the years is in here, along with my and your father's savings. I'm giving it all to you today."
This time, Lu Zhixia did not refuse her mother-in-law's kindness. She had refused several times before. When she took the money and saw the amount inside, she was very moved. Her mother-in-law had actually saved 100,000 yuan.
"Mom, you and Dad haven't spent much money over the years."
Cai Wei said, "What money do your dad and I have to spend? Since we started living with you, all we've done is buy clothes and spend a little money on ourselves."
Lu Zhixia said, "Since we have enough money, let's buy the courtyard house."
They were very happy to hear this, as it represented another significant milestone for their family.
The courtyard house was bought quickly, and most of the previous houses were renovated and rented out.
The two previous factories were doing quite well. Later, we partnered with others and they invested more. Although we received less money, we had less work to do, and we still received several hundred thousand yuan in dividends every year.
Lu Zhixia carefully calculated their annual net income, which was close to a million. They had always kept a low profile, so the people around them never knew how wealthy they were.
