Chapter 187 Second Uncle Returns
Happy times are always short-lived.
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Lu Mingfeng and his family were going back to Beijing.
Lu Yongfu hid in his room again, wiping his tears, and did not dare to go out to see them off.
Lu Changyan and Lu Changxiao wiped their grandfather's tears, comforted him, and would often call him. When Dad bought a car, they would drive him to Beijing.
Liang Qiaoli said, "Your father bought a car for a big deal. It would burn a lot of oil for a trip back."
Seeing that the two old people were reluctant to leave their children, Lu Mingfeng said to them, "Dad, Mom, you don't have anything to do now, why don't you go to Beijing with us to play for a few days."
Lu Yongfu was very tempted, but Liang Qiaoli was unwilling.
"Jia Le and the kids are going to school, they are very busy, don't let them cause you any trouble. Rest at home for a few days. Your elder brother made a lot of money selling dried biscuits before the New Year, let your father go too."
Lu Changguo and Lu Changdong from Zhou Min's family came to say goodbye, and told Lu Changyan and Lu Changxiao to come back during the summer vacation.
Fang Chuanshui also came with his son and said to Shen Jia Le, "When you see Mei Li, tell her and write a letter back. Your son misses you."
Shen Jia Le nodded in
agreement. Xu Jin was already waiting at the station.
Lu Mingfeng asked him why he didn't bring his wife with him.
Xu Jin said, "I will take them over after I settle down in Beijing. The biscuit factory will be handed over to Zhou Qing. There are many places that he is not familiar with. Xiaolan can help him if she stays in the biscuit factory. After all, we have run this factory for so many years, and we want it to get better and better."
...
When they arrived in Beijing, Lu Mingfeng asked Xu Jin to live at home.
After Xu Jin settled down, he asked Lu Mingfeng to take him to buy a house.
Soon, they bought a courtyard house not far from Lu's house.
Song Zhigang came here to give money to Shen Jiale.
Years ago, they partnered to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables. Whenever Shen Jiale came over, he would quietly water the spring water. Even when they went back to their hometown for the New Year, the vegetables grew well and they made a lot of money.
Xu Jin and Song Zhigang had cooperated before and were old acquaintances. When he heard that Xu Jin was going to open a factory in Beijing, he immediately decided to invest.
Xu Jin glanced at Shen Jiale.
Shen Jiale nodded slightly.
The Song family has many connections, and with Song Zhigang joining, the business will go smoothly.
The three men met and talked about their aspirations for future development, and they had endless topics to talk about.
Shen Jiale went to the kitchen to cook.
Someone knocked on the door, and Gu Siyuan went to open the door and saw Shen Qingshan coming with a stranger.
"Dad, you are here. Who is this uncle?"
Shen Qingshan introduced: "This is your second uncle Shen Qingyang. He came back during the Chinese New Year. You didn't see him when you went back to your hometown."
He smiled and said to Shen Qingyang: "This is the Siyuan I told you about. Jiale adopted him for me. He is more promising than Jiacheng. He is a college student."
Shen Qingyang patted Gu Siyuan on the shoulder: "Good job!"
Shen Jiale heard the noise, came out and saw that it was his second uncle. He ran over quickly and hugged Shen Qingyang.
"Second uncle, you are back!"
Shen Qingyang patted Shen Jiale on the back and said to Shen Qingshan with a smile: "You are still the same as when you were a child, you love to act coquettishly."
In the previous life, his father was dismissed because of his second uncle. Shen Jiale had a lot of opinions about his second uncle, so he was no longer close to him.
The second uncle felt guilty, and in order to make up for it, he helped Shen Jiacheng when he started his business, and also helped Shen Jiale through Shen Jiacheng.
It can be said that without the funds provided by the second uncle, it would be difficult for them to make a name for themselves.
The eldest brother once advised her to let go of her prejudice against the second uncle, but Shen Jiale didn't listen, because the second uncle didn't like Jiang Haoran very much.
Thinking back carefully, she had opinions about the second uncle because Jiang Haoran often whispered in her ear. He
said that if it weren't for the relationship with the second uncle, as the daughter of the deputy factory director, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
Later, Jiang Haoran learned that the second uncle was very rich, and asked Shen Jiale to get closer to the second uncle. Shen Jiale didn't want to, so Jiang Haoran took the initiative to find the second uncle to ease the relationship.
However, the second uncle ignored Jiang Haoran.
Later, the second uncle left Beijing and returned to Hong Kong, never to return.
Jiang Haoran also blamed her for being too willful and not knowing how to deal with the ways of the world.
Lu Mingfeng and a few others heard the noise and came out to greet them.
Shen Jiale called the children over and introduced them to the second uncle one by one.
Shen Qingyang looked at the children, and looked at Lu Mingfeng for a long time, and asked: "I heard from my eldest brother that you want to buy a car, do you have enough money?"
Lu Mingfeng nodded: "Enough."
Shen Qingyang said nothing more, and happily handed the box in his hand to Shen Jiale: "Jia Le, open it and have a look, the second uncle bought you the doll you like."
Shen Jiale opened the box, saw the things inside, turned his head with a smile, and his eyes were instantly wet.
The box was full of stuffed animals and dolls.
Shen Qingshan smiled and said, "You never let anyone open the box at home. I thought it was filled with treasures, but it turned out to be children's dolls. Have you forgotten that Jiale is 27 years old and is the mother of four children?"
Shen Qingyang said, "In my heart, Jiale will always be the lovely little girl when I left."
Shen Jiale is no longer at the age of liking dolls. When the children saw these dolls, their eyes lit up.
Holding Shen Jiale's legs, he asked, can you give them one of the dolls?
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "You can take it and play with it."
Shen Qingyang took out a doll from inside and said, "Leave one for your mother."
Then he stuffed it into Shen Jiale's arms: "When you were a child, you saw other children had one and kept asking for it. Second uncle promised to buy it for you. Although it was a little late, second uncle did it."
Shen Jiale hugged the doll and rubbed the doll's head with his chin: "Thank you, second uncle."
Lu Mingfeng invited everyone to come in and sit down. Shen Qingyang saw Shen Jiale go into the kitchen to cook and told her to stop: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Accompany second uncle to talk. I have booked a banquet at the hotel. My eldest sister-in-law and others have already gone. Let's eat and talk."
When other families were getting together, Song Zhigang was about to take Xu Jin out for dinner, but was stopped by Shen Qingyang: "Meeting each other means fate. It's more lively with more people. I heard my eldest brother mention you all. You are all great."
...
A group of people came to the hotel in a mighty manner.
Shen Qingyang specially prepared a separate table for the children, and all the dishes served were the children's favorites.
At the dinner table, Shen Jiale learned that her second uncle was still unmarried.
When she was a child, her second uncle loved her the most and always joked that when she grew up, she would support him in his old age.
In her previous life, she had never paid attention to this issue.
Shen Qingshan advised his brother to find a wife as soon as possible, otherwise he would be lonely in the future.
Shen Qingyang said, "Brother, we agreed before that Jiale would take care of me in my old age. Now you have a son, you can't go back on your word."
Shen Qingshan said, "You can marry a wife and have as many children as you want. I only have one daughter, and you insist on competing with me for her. Your sister-in-law will arrange a blind date for you tomorrow, so you'd better perform well in front of me."
Shen Qingyang chuckled and said, "Brother, please forgive me. I'm not old at this age, why should I go on a blind date?"
He Guizhen said, "You are not young, you're only 40 years old. Old Liu in our factory is 50 years old and he has found a partner."
Shen Jiale also advised, "Uncle, just listen to Dad and don't delay me from honoring you."
After being persuaded by Shen Jiale, Shen Qingyang softened his attitude a lot and asked Shen Jiale to go with him.
"Uncle, I'm going to school tomorrow."
"Just meet up when you get out of school."
In order to help his uncle go on a blind date, Shen Jiale agreed.
