Chapter 327: Lu Xingjun trains
his child Lu Xingjun was embarrassed by Li Yue'e, and he called Liu Yuzhi into the room with a sullen face and gave her a lecture. Liu Yuzhi was also puzzled.
Although she had such an idea before, after listening to Lu Xingjun's words, she also felt that studying was right.
After all, if she graduated from junior high school and passed away, if she really achieved something in the future, others would only say that the child was blessed by her uncle and aunt. If the child can study well and get into college, then it is really the result of her and her husband's cultivation.
Seeing that it was not Liu Yuzhi who said it, Lu Xingjun called Lu Fengqin over.
Lu Fengqin had been feeling uneasy since she was scolded by Lu Xiaolan in the afternoon. Now when she saw her parents calling her over, she lowered her head and dared not speak.
"I heard that you don't want to study anymore and plan to go to Yangcheng after graduating from junior high school and ask your uncle and aunt to find you a job?"
Seeing her father's serious expression, Lu Fengqin was afraid, but she still wanted to fight for herself and whispered, "I don't like studying. I want to work early to make money for my family."
"I won't tell you whether it's easy to find a job. I'll ask you, do you think it's so easy to go to Yangcheng? Your food is here. If you go there, you won't even have food to eat."
"Also, it takes eight or nine days to go to Guangzhou by train, and the ticket costs forty or fifty yuan. Do you have that money? Do you know how to take a train? Can you go alone?"
Lu Fengqin nodded, "Aunt has food to eat there. Aunt went with Third Aunt, and I will go with Third Aunt too."
"Your aunt has food to eat because your Third Uncle applied for her to follow the army. Your aunt is your Third Uncle's sister and can apply, but I've never heard of her taking her niece to follow the army while her brother and sister-in-law are still alive."
"Your aunt was your Third Aunt who happened to be going to Guangzhou, so she took her with her. If your Third Aunt doesn't come back for a few years, will you wait for her at home for a few years?"
"Third Aunt has summer vacation when she's in college, so let her come back to pick me up..." Lu Fengqin spoke lower and lower.
Lu Xingjun felt embarrassed when he heard this. Even if he asked Lu Fengqin to go to Guangzhou, he wanted to send her there personally. This girl was even more daring than her, and actually asked her third brother's wife to come back to pick her up.
"How dare you? Do you think your third uncle and aunt not only have to find a job for you, but also have to come back to pick you up? Otherwise, let your third aunt stop going to college, take you to Guangzhou, and worship you like an ancestor?"
Lu Xingjun's words were very serious. Liu Yuzhi patted him with some disapproval. The child has grown up and has self-esteem.
Sure enough, Lu Fengqin burst into tears, "I'm not going to Guangzhou to be lazy. I will help my uncle and aunt with housework, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and work to send money home."
Lu Xingjun waved his hand, "Your younger brothers and sisters are already grown up, and they don't need you to take care of them. I don't expect you to send much money home."
"I'm saying this, if you want to study, your family will support you as long as you can study. If you don't want to study, I won't force you. But it's impossible to go to Guangzhou. If you don't want to study, come back to work in the fields to earn work points."
Lu Fengqin widened her eyes, with panic in her eyes.
If it was in the past, working in the fields would be fine, and everyone was the same.
But after Lu Xiaolan and her friends went to Guangzhou, they often wrote letters and sent some photos back. From these descriptions and photos, Lu Fengqin saw the good of the big city and had long yearned for Guangzhou.
She often told her classmates about Guangzhou at school and said that she would go to Guangzhou sooner or later. If she didn't study and went home to farm, wouldn't her classmates laugh at her?
"Why can my aunt go but I can't? I'm not going there to play, I'm going there to work."
Seeing that his explanation didn't make sense, Lu Xingjun couldn't help but say in a stern voice: "Your aunt can go because she has good parents and a good brother and sister-in-law. Your parents' abilities are only enough to support your education."
"You have to accept the fate you are born into."
"Compared to others, you have already had it good. You can eat well, wear warm clothes and go to school. Don't be too ambitious, learn to be content." This
was the first time that her father scolded her so harshly. Lu Fengqin ran back to her room crying.
Lu Fengqin was the first grandchild in the family. Although she was a girl, everyone in the family loved her very much. Lu Xingjun was a man with a good temper. He seldom lost his temper and almost never spoke loudly to the children.
This was the first time he was so stern. Not only Lu Fengqin, but also Lu Aiqin and Lu Guoqiang in another room were so frightened that they dared not breathe and did their homework like quails.
The next day, when Lu Fengqin went to school, she took the food with her, saying that it was too tiring to go to school on foot and she would still live on campus.
*****
Su Mo stayed at home for more than half a month. Except for participating in the memorial activities held by the family compound and the original unit, she hardly went out.
After the units resumed their normal work, Su Mo thought about finding someone to demolish the partition wall between the second and third floors before school started.
That day, while Lu Changzheng was resting, the family of four drove to Gaodi Street.
Grandma Xu was still enjoying the cool air at the archway. She was a little surprised when she saw a military vehicle driving over. Although their place was once prosperous, due to the large number of capitalists here, even if the house was later borrowed by a nearby factory, the people assigned to it were ordinary employees, and very few could drive.
Su Mo asked Lu Changzheng to stop for a moment, rolled down the window, and said hello to Grandma Xu.
"I'm going to ask you, it turns out it's you, Xiao Su."
"Yes. This one is my lover's son." Su Mo introduced.
After the house is completed, they will definitely come over occasionally. Su Mo doesn't plan to hide it, just be open and honest.
"An Anlele, my name is Grandma Xu."
The two children called someone obediently.
Grandma Xu responded with a smile and praised: "The man is talented and the woman is good-looking. They are a perfect match. Both sons are so proud."
"Come back again. Is there any news about your relatives?" Grandma Xu thought that Su Mo had found someone when she came back.
"Zhong Weiyi." Su Mo waved her hand. She did ask someone to inquire about Su Yunsheng, but because it had been more than ten years, it had been a long time, so there was no reply yet.
"I'm here today to take care of the house, and old man Chen gave me his house." Su Mo said.
Grandma Xu was stunned and instantly understood that Su Mo had bought the house. If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, someone would give you a house, but you can't buy or sell it at this time, so they gave it away as an excuse.
This Xiao Su is really as smart as a ghost. Just when the atmosphere became more relaxed, he took action. She had been watching here every day, but she still managed to get
something for free. This little Su looked like she had a good family background, and she dared to buy it. She must have received some news, and it seemed that she had to prepare. Although she didn't have much money, she still hid some things, and when she went to the free market, she would have money.
Because of the presence of Hong Kong and Macau, yellow and white items and some things considered "four olds" can still be sold at high prices in Guangzhou.
After greeting Granny Xu, Su Mo directed Lu Changzheng to drive the car to the arcade she bought. This was the first time that the father and son had come since Su Mo bought the house.
