Chapter 16 The Dais
I walked along the alley behind the school for about ten minutes, carrying the fruit.
We arrived in front of an old three-story building.
Looking around, there are dilapidated houses everywhere.
Before leaving, he planned to take another look at Teacher Dai and Old Madam Dai.
I heard that this building used to be a dormitory for employees of a factory. After the factory closed, the school rented the building as a dormitory for employees.
The stains on the exterior walls and the occasional peeling of paint all show that the building is quite old.
Teacher Dai and his classmates live in a small two-bedroom house allocated to them by the school.
It used to be on the second floor. Now that they are old and have difficulty walking, the couple moved to the first floor.
Most of the people upstairs have already moved out.
Some of them bought houses elsewhere with better conditions and infrastructure.
Some are taken away by their sons and daughters to enjoy family happiness.
Come and go.
Only Teacher Dai and his wife were left.
Teacher Dai had already reached retirement age.
But there is no way. My master's wife has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has never stopped taking medicine. She is too old to go out to work. If Teacher Dai retires, they will not be able to sustain it for long with their savings.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? You still need an old man like me to invite you in."
Teacher Dai looked at Lu Shinian who was standing not far from the door.
"What did the old man say?"
Hearing the sound, Mrs. Dai came out of the kitchen and glared at Old Dai.
"Come in quickly, you are here to eat, why are you bringing anything with you?"
She looked at Lu Shinian with a reproachful look on her face.
"Master's wife, you have worked hard. I am shamelessly coming here to eat with you today. Please don't despise me if I eat too much."
Lu Shinian handed the fruit he bought to his master's wife.
Madam Dai: "What are you talking about? I'll be angry if you say that. Why are you being so polite to us? I wish you could eat more. Look at you, you're so skinny."
"Wait a moment. I have two dishes left in the kitchen. You and Lao Dai can eat first. I'll be right there."
She put the fruit down and went back into the kitchen.
Old Dai came over secretly and whispered, "Have you spent all your living expenses? It's not like you haven't been here before, why do you bring those things? The old lady will scold me again tonight."
He paused.
"And your part-time job, you'll be going to college soon, so stop it immediately. Don't let it affect you this year. At this stage, it's more important than anything else to keep your grades stable. If you don't have enough money, I have some here, so don't worry. I'll teach you for another two years after you graduate and then I'll retire. Just remember to come back and visit us often."
Lu Shinian felt a little sad as he looked at the little old man in front of him who was chattering about making plans for his future, and he almost couldn't control his tears.
Listening carefully, her voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Yes, I have tuition and living expenses. My grandma left me some money, but I didn't want to spend it before."
Old Dai: "That's good. Don't be reluctant to spend. Your health is the capital of revolution. Eat well and drink well now to keep your body healthy. You can earn money again if you lose it. Now is the time for you to grow up."
Lu Shinian: "Teacher, I understand. I won't do it again."
"Don't just talk, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Old Madam Dai walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Old Dai: "Eat some vegetables, eat some vegetables."
Madam Dai: "Niannian, don't be shy about picking up some food, eat more."
Lu Shinian: "Master's Wife, you should eat too, don't just pick up food for me."
"Ahem"
Lu Shinian: “…”
"Teacher, you eat too."
As he said this, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
After dinner, he played chess with Lao Dai, during which they talked about various topics. In his previous life, Lu Shinian also lived to be over 30 years old.
I have met all kinds of people in the business world. In order to discuss cooperation, I have to find out the preferences of the other party in advance, which range from antiques and famous paintings to horse riding and racing.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Shinian has learned everything he could come into contact with, because only by not stopping can he prevent his reason from being devoured by hatred and continue to lie dormant.
Old Dai was very surprised.
He felt as if the person sitting opposite him was not a student who had not yet graduated, but a high-ranking person who was active in the business world and had a smooth handle on things.
Even he only had a vague understanding of many things, but Lu Shinian could explain them in an orderly manner.
"It's old, it's the young people's world now."
"Teacher, you are still strong and healthy. You don't look old at all."
"Although it's a bit too early to talk about this now, can you tell me which school you plan to go to in the second half of the year?"
Lu Shinian: "Beijing City, I want to go there and take a look."
"It's good to have a goal. If you can stay consistent in your last state, you will definitely succeed."
"Teacher, you think too highly of me."
Lu Shinian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It seems that this result has given Teacher Dai great confidence.
"Everyone should have dreams. Just like you young people say, if a person has no dreams, he is just like a salted fish, right?"
"Yes, I'll try my best."
Old Dai raised his hand and patted Lu Shinian on the shoulder.
"What I just said was just a joke. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best and don't leave any regrets for yourself."
"I will."
Old Dai: "Well, you must be tired of accompanying an old man like me for the whole day, right?"
Lu Shinian: "How could that be? I am very happy with the teacher, how could I be annoyed?"
He was really happy. After his rebirth, besides Xu Zhengzheng and his grandmother, Old Dai was the person Lu Shinian wanted to see the most.
This rebirth, perhaps because God felt that his previous life was too miserable or perhaps because of his grandmother’s blessing, gave him a chance to start over.
Old Dai: "Okay, okay, go back. Don't bring these things next time."
He had a fierce look on his face.
Lu Shinian: "Then Master, I will leave first."
Madam Dai: "Why are you leaving so soon? It's almost time for dinner. Go back after dinner. It's not clean outside."
"No, Master's wife, I have something else to do. I'll come next time."
Lu Shinian shook his head.
"Okay then, remember to come often."
"Yes, Master's wife. I hope you don't think I'm disturbing you."
Old Dai: "Okay, go and do your thing. It will be dark if you delay any longer."
Lu Shinian: "Goodbye, teacher and mistress."
"This child is so sensible, it's really pitiful. Old man, please take good care of him at school."
Old Madam Dai looked at Lu Shinian's back as he slowly walked away with heartache.
Old Dai: "Needless to say, I almost treat him as my own grandson."
Madam Dai: "Well, if Hanyu gets married and has children, will his children be this big?"
Old Dai: "Don't mention him to me. I don't have a son like him. No matter whether he lives a good or bad life outside, I will just pretend that I don't have this son."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you. I don't know who is lying there looking through photos of his son in the middle of the night because he can't sleep."
Old Dai: "Old woman! Stop talking!"
Old man Dai turned around and walked towards the room in anger.
Old Madam Dai: "Ah, hey, don't go. Can't I just stop talking? If you miss him, just give him a call. I can always trick him back if I say I can't do it anymore."
Old Dai: "Forget it. Even if he comes back, his heart is not with us. Let him be. He will come back after he suffers a lot with that man."
If Lu Shinian heard this, he would definitely be very surprised.
Because in his impression.
Teacher Dai and his family don’t have any children, because they never saw any in their previous life, and Old Dai and his wife never mentioned them.
The sky gradually darkened.
Lu Shinian rarely had the time to calm down and look at the scenery around him, looking at the houses that had been eliminated by the times.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, not long after he graduated from Chongde, the government was planning to demolish this area and rebuild a commercial park.
Thinking of this, Lu Shinian suppressed his heart that was about to jump out of his chest and quickly ran back to the dormitory. He found his backpack, rummaged through it, and found a red house deed.
He looked at the property deed and a plan formed in his mind.
Lu Shinian solemnly put the property deed into his backpack, then quickly walked to the table, turned on his computer, screened a real estate agency with a good reputation on major websites, and added the agency's contact information.
AaaaaAjie: "Hello, would you like to buy a house?"
lu: How much does a house in Jinjiang Center Garden cost? ”
AaaaaAjie: "How big a house do you want? Is it for your own use or for your children to go to school? Houses in this area are in great demand right now, so the discount may not be that big."
Lu: "Okay, thank you."
lu: "I currently have a house for sale, are you willing to buy it?"
AaaaaAjie: "Collect them. Collect as many houses as there are in this place!"
Lu: "Let's meet and talk in detail if it's convenient."
AaaaaAjie: "I'm always available. When are you free? We can make an appointment."
Lu: "See you at the entrance of Jinjiang Garden Community at 10 am tomorrow."
AaaaaAjie: "Okay, no problem, see you tomorrow."
Lu Shinian breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, this house will be sold by Lu Xue sooner or later to fill the deficit of Xu Zhiyuan's company.
Anyway, he was planning to leave the city with his grandmother, so they might as well sell it as soon as possible instead of getting it cheaply.
This house was sold not long ago in the previous life.
There was a rumor that the government was planning to plan a commercial district near the land not far from Chongde. That was the residential area next to the school where Lu Shinian moved from Lao Dai. Unfortunately, the house where Lao Dai lived was a dormitory allocated by the school, so even if it was demolished, he would not get it.
The Jinjiang Garden house was left to him by his grandmother. No matter how hard life was, she never wanted to sell it. For his grandmother, having a house meant having a home. Without the house, there would be no home either.
If Xu Zhiyuan and Lu Xue had not set their sights on this house, or had not sent his grandmother to a nursing home, he might have considered keeping the house as a keepsake.
But that’s obviously not the case now.
Judging from their attitudes, they are determined to sell this house.
Lu Shinian calmed himself down.
While there is still time, sell the house as start-up capital, and wait until the project goes public in Beijing to gain a firm foothold in Beijing.
As long as you accumulate enough funds as quickly as possible, buy the land in advance before the government releases the news, and then resell it after the news is released, you can make a lot of money without losing money.
I suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of my chest, took two minutes to calm myself down, washed up as usual, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
