Chapter 117 A Matter of Principle
After hearing this, Lu Jianchuan no longer had anything to worry about. As for the principled mistake that Xiao Qiao mentioned, he knew it very well.
It is precisely because of this clarity that he feels so at ease.
At least he knew that they would never be separated again in this life.
After finishing the business, Lin Siqiao could finally enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was a pity that he didn't have a camera, otherwise it would be nice to take some photos as a souvenir.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lin Siqiao just said this casually, and someone quietly kept it in mind.
As more and more people climbed to the top of the mountain, Lin Siqiao felt that they could retreat early.
Otherwise, when we wait for the main group to go down the mountain, we may not be able to get on the bus back home.
Two hours later, Lu Jianchuan sent him to the entrance of the alley where the guesthouse was located, and Lin Siqiao told him that he would be returning to Shanghai the day after tomorrow.
Lu Jianchuan knew the train number back to Shanghai and nodded.
"Then I'll take you there the day after tomorrow night."
"Xiao Qiao, have you booked the return ticket?"
If the tickets had not been booked, Lu Jianchuan would ask someone to book them for him.
After all, it takes more than 20 hours to get from Shanghai to Beijing by express train, and he couldn't bear to let her sit in a hard seat.
Lin Siqiao guessed what he meant as soon as she saw his expression, and quickly said no, she would buy it herself when the time comes.
Today, Tang Haiqing specially gave her a ministerial letter of introduction. With this, she can buy not only a sleeper berth, but also a soft sleeper.
Lu Jianchuan actually didn't know how much savings Lin Siqiao had.
Forget the train ticket; that’s small money.
But buying a house is a big deal, and it doesn’t make sense to let your woman pay for it.
He admitted that he was indeed more traditional in this regard.
Lu Jianchuan handed over the "brick" again.
"Xiao Qiao, these are my own allowances and the money I get from missions. I will give them to you sooner or later anyway."
"You can take it and spend it or keep it, it's up to you."
Lin Siqiao still shook his head firmly.
I didn’t accept it before because we weren’t in a formal relationship.
I’m not accepting it now because this is the first house I’ve bought.
She wants to spend her own money to give herself confidence, and there's nothing wrong with that.
After listening to this, Lu Jianchuan said nothing. Lin Siqiao knew that he disapproved and was unhappy.
I can only say that men of this era are really... innocent and cute.
You see, even though you don’t spend his money, he’s still unhappy!
It’s not like the later generations, where if you spend a penny more of other people’s money, they will act as if you are going to lose everything.
If you don’t believe me, go ask.
A car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is just garbage in the eyes of men!
A betrothal gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars would cost the lives of their entire family!
"I have an agreement with them to pay next Monday, and you suddenly give me so much money now. I can't carry it with me. It's so unsafe!!"
"Besides, what's the difference between spending your money and spending mine?"
"Won't everything you have now be mine in the future?"
"I said I would not accept it for the time being. You should know what it means for the time being, right?"
Since she said so, Lu Jianchuan had no choice. After all, it was not safe for a girl like her to carry so much money.
Speaking of houses, Lin Siqiao remembered it.
"Please help me contact Aunt Fu and see if she is free tomorrow. This time, the house matter is all thanks to her. It is reasonable for me to pay her a visit."
"Okay, if there is any news, I will come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Lin Siqiao nodded, and Lu Jianchuan asked her when she would be back.
"It's Saturday, what's up?"
"Well, there will be a military competition this weekend."
As soon as Lin Siqiao heard it, he understood what he meant, "Okay, then I'll go and cheer you on."
What Lin Siqiao didn't know was that because of what she said, Lu Jianchuan, who had originally planned to go home and rest, stayed up late and trained for several hours more.
The two chatted in the alley for a while, and Lu Jianchuan asked her to go back and rest early.
Fu Jinglan learned that the two of them planned to come to see her together tomorrow. When she heard Lu Jianchuan's tone, she immediately had a guess in her mind.
"Jianchuan, are you two done?"
Lu Jianchuan did not hide it. Fu Jinglan was overjoyed when she heard it and said it immediately.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow at noon. It just so happens that your cousins will be back tonight."
"Let's have some fun together tomorrow."
Lu Jianchuan nodded and asked, "Aunt San, is there any way I can get a ticket for the camera?"
Xiao Qiao is unwilling to accept the money now, so Lu Jianchuan can only try his best to satisfy her in other ways.
Fu Jinglan laughed out loud when she heard this.
You see, once this man gets the hang of things, he doesn't need anyone to teach him anymore.
Isn’t this good? You know how to prepare something for the little girl.
"As for the ticket, I'll find a way for you. Come to my office tomorrow morning."
"Excuse me, Auntie San."
Fu Jinglan didn't allow him to be so formal. "Okay, call the old house quickly. Your grandparents called us yesterday."
"Yes, I understand."
After Lu Jianchuan hung up the phone, he quickly called the old house and it was Grandma Lu who answered the phone.
"Hello, it's Jianchuan. Yes, yes, don't worry, your grandfather and I are in good health."
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"By the way, when will Siqiao return to Shanghai?"
"The bus the day after tomorrow night, right? Okay, okay, I got it."
Grandpa Lu was sitting next to them, holding a chess piece, and listening to them chatting. Suddenly, the talking stopped and the house became quiet.
When Grandpa Lu looked up, he found that Grandma Lu's hand holding the receiver was shaking and her eyes were red.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
"Wife, are you feeling unwell?"
Grandpa Lu was so scared that he dropped the chess set. He quickly patted Grandma Lu's back to help her calm down. After thinking for a while, he stood up again.
"Where's the medicine? Where did you put it?"
Grandma Lu quickly pulled the man back and said, "Old man, I'm fine. It's Jianchuan who..."
"What happened to Jianchuan? Is he injured again?"
“No, no, no!”
Grandma Lu was so excited that she shed tears, "Jianchuan is getting happy! He he he...he and Siqiao are dating!"
"…We're dating."
Grandpa Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Really, he felt that sooner or later he would be scared to death by his wife.
Grandma Lu didn't have time to care what he thought, so she quickly gave him some instructions over the phone.
"I know, grandma, don't worry, I won't bully her."
"Don't be so playful with me, you know what I mean."
Lu Jianchuan was helpless: Grandma, if I tell her that I have that idea, she will knock me down with one punch, do you believe it?
The only thing he is thankful for now is.
Fortunately, he was injured that night, otherwise if a fight really broke out and Xiao Qiao was hurt, he would not have the happy life he has now.
When Grandma Lu had almost finished speaking, she handed the receiver to Grandpa Lu.
"Here, here you go. Talk to Jianchuan."
As soon as he turned around, Grandpa Lu hung up the phone.
Grandma Lu: "Is that all?"
"Oh, you asked me to say a few words."
"I told him all my life's experience, just two sentences!"
"I've said everything that needs to be said. Let him figure out the rest on his own."
Lu Jianchuan on the other end of the phone listened to the beeping sound and thought about the two sentences his grandfather said.
"A lifelong fear of wife leads to great wealth and honor."
Lu Jianchuan couldn't help but laugh.
