Lu Jiaxin knew the detailed address of the house, but she was not familiar with Sijiu City and did not know the exact location. Fortunately, Lu Jiaguang and Lu Jiajie were very familiar with the place, and they took her and Xue Mao there on their bicycles.

Liao Xiangmei had something to do at home, so she went back after asking for the address.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Lu Jiaxin looked at both sides of the street curiously. The city of Beijing now is completely different from forty years later. The trees beside the road are tall and green, the houses are low and dilapidated, and the electric wires crisscross the road. These are all marks of the times!

Lu Jiaxin didn't see a single car on the road, everyone was riding bicycles or walking. She felt a little sorry, if she had a camera, she would definitely take a picture of this scene, these photos will be very precious forty years later.

Passing by a primary school, Lu Jiaxin exclaimed when she saw the name of the school. It turned out to be Guangming Primary School. This primary school later became a key primary school in the city and was famous throughout the country. Parents who didn't want to lose at the starting line would go to great lengths to get their children into this school.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Brother, my house isn't far from here, right?"

"It's not far, just around the corner."

Just as Lu Jiaguang said, I rode forward for two or three minutes and turned into an alley. I followed the house number and quickly found the house.

Looking at the clean exterior wall and Cheng Liang's front door, Lu Jiaguang looked puzzled: "Xinxin, this is really the place, are you remembering it correctly?"

This house doesn't look like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

"This is the address my mom told me. It can't be wrong."

Lu Jiajie smiled and said, "Xinxin, take the key and open the door. If it can be opened, then it is correct."

It turned out that the original body remembered the address correctly. She quickly opened the door, but as soon as she pushed the door open, her eyes widened.

What you see is a yard, which is about 30 square meters in size. There is a road in the middle of the yard. On the left are two flower beds where vegetables are planted. The vegetables are green and pleasing to the eye. On the right is a jujube tree, under which are a stone table and a stone bench.

Lu Jiaguang was also surprised when he saw the yard. Lu Jiaxin had said before that it was a small house, and he thought it was just two rooms. He never expected that it was actually a courtyard house.

Seeing that the ground was clean, Lu Jiaguang said, "Jiaxin, did Third Aunt ask someone to clean the yard regularly?"

Lu Jiaxin said she didn't know: "Mom didn't tell me. But this yard was bought with the help of Mrs. Xie, so maybe she hired someone to clean it."

Lu Jiaguang frowned: "Are you sure that Mrs. Xie helped buy this house?"

Third Aunt lost her life to save the only child of Xie family, but they never showed up again after Third Aunt's death. He felt that Xie family was heartless and felt sorry for Third Aunt. But now it seems that there may be something he doesn't know.

Lu Jiaxin knew that he had misunderstood the Xie family, and explained: "Brother, before my mother died, she told me that if I encounter problems that are difficult to solve or related to life and death in the future, I can go to the Xie family for help, and don't interact with them on weekdays."

The original body was too young to understand, but Lu Jiaxin understood the good intentions of Lu's mother. The old man of the Xie family had already restored his reputation at that time and was about to rise. If the two families frequently visited each other, the ones who would benefit in the end would be Lu Hongjun and the Lu family.

The more you use the favor, the less it will be. If the Lu family uses it, then they may not care about the original body in the future. But if you don't visit them at ordinary times, once the original body gets into trouble, as long as it is not a matter of principle such as a crime, they will definitely help.

Lu Jiaguang was stunned at first, but then he understood. Third Aunt really worked hard for her sister, but it was a pity that she passed away too early, otherwise Xinxin would not have suffered so much.

Xue Mao followed him around and secretly smacked his lips. In the past, the landlords and wealthy people probably lived in houses like this. However, he dared not say this out loud because it was taboo.

Lu Jiajie patted Lu Jiaxin on the shoulder and said enviously, "Little sister, congratulations, you own such a big house at such a young age."

He has been in the factory for seven years and still hasn't been allocated a house. His family of four still lives in his father-in-law's house. In the past few years, his aunt and her husband said some sour words from time to time, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law sided with them and didn't take it to heart. But recently, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law's attitude has changed, and now it is very uncomfortable to live here. Alas, when can he have his own house like Jiaxin?

Lu Jiaguang had a lot of things to do, so he reminded Lu Jiaxin: "Housing is tight for everyone now. Your house is so big, it's inevitable that someone will want to stay there. Xinxin, if someone wants to stay at or rent your house, don't agree. If it's hard to refuse, just push it to me."

How could Lu Jiaxin agree to this? What if friends and relatives come to stay and don't leave? As for renting a house, nowadays any business can make money, so there is no need to worry about the rent.

Lu Jiajie thought more: "Brother, it's so chaotic outside now. Jiaxin's house is so big, what if someone with bad intentions targets it..."

Lu Jiaxin thought this problem was easy to solve: "Find someone to set up some traps in the corners. If they dare to climb over the wall, send them to jail."

She was not actually worried about being harassed by thugs because this place was close to a primary school and she didn't have to worry about security issues.

Lu Jiaguang thought this was a good idea and said he would ask someone about it when he got back.

Lu Jiaxin said, "Brother, we can move into this house after we clean it up. Can you move the furniture and bedding from my room here today?"

Only the main room in the house was furnished, and the other rooms were empty. She had a place to sleep, but Xue Mao didn't.

After that, she explained why she was so anxious: "I told everyone what Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi did, and now everyone in the family compound knows about it. Ding Jing hates me to the core, and if I wait until tomorrow, there might be nothing left."

Thinking about Lu Hongjun's attitude, Lu Jiaguang also felt that it was better to do it sooner rather than later: "I'll go back and see if I can borrow a car. If I can, I'll deliver the things over this afternoon."

Lu Jiajie smiled and said, “Brother, I’ve asked for a day off, leave this to me!”

He was just an ordinary employee in the shoe factory. Unlike the leader Lu Jiaguang, he had a lot of things to do and could easily take leave. Of course, he felt that the shoe factory had no future, so he was passive and lazy.

"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, thank you."

Lu Jiaguang felt a little sad when he heard this: "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I am your brother, and it is my duty to take care of you.

Lu Jiajie patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say that again in the future. It's too formal for a family to say thank you."

The two brothers wanted to help her move the things over and left soon. Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao stayed to clean up.
