Lu Jiazong answered the phone, and when he heard her voice, he asked anxiously: "Jiaxin, how was your exam? Did you pass?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, second brother, I passed, and my score is very high."

"That's good. That's good."

Lu Jiaxin and Lu Jiazong didn't communicate much, and they didn't have much to say: "Second brother, ask the eldest brother to come over, I will call you again at six o'clock in the evening."

Lu Jiazong said three good words in a row. He has three sons and one daughter. Among the four children, only Lu Tao went to high school. The other three were beaten countless times before they finished junior high school, and then they refused to go. Knowing that they really couldn't continue to study, it was useless to force them, so he gave up. So Zaohua was so good at studying, but Agen's wife didn't let her child go to school. He really felt that it was short-sighted. As long as his sons and daughters could study, they would not care about their brothers and sisters in the future. As for his sister Jiaxin, there was a layer of separation, and he would pull them up when there was a good thing.

After Lu Jiaxin finished her phone call, she went upstairs for a nap. It was a cloudy day, so Lu Jiaxin went downstairs to practice Ba Duan Jin, and after finishing, she was sweating all over.

Seeing that she was soaked, Gu Xiuxiu said, "Next time you want to practice boxing, do it indoors. It's too hot outside and you'll easily get heatstroke."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "It's cloudy today, otherwise I would practice after the sun sets."

Gu Xiuxiu saw her sweat dripping on the towel and said with a smile, "Go take a shower first, and come down and talk to me after you're done."

Lu Jiaxin came down after taking a shower and drying her hair. She was wearing a grass green dress and her hair was loose, and she walked down slowly from upstairs.

Gu Xiuxiu was stunned when she saw her. This child looked so much like Lanlan that she thought it was Lanlan walking towards her. In the blink of an eye, more than 40 years had passed, and she had turned from a young girl into an old woman. Time was really unforgiving! Lu Jiaxin sat beside her, hugged her arm and asked with a smile, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiuxiu came back to her senses, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Your skirts are all mint green, light green, dark green, turquoise and other colors. Do you like green so much?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Yes, I like green very much because it represents hope and vitality, so I never get tired of wearing it."

Gu Xiuxiu felt that green was still too plain: "You should wear green. You can also wear red, blue, and pink. You are still young. You should try everything to find the most suitable one."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go buy clothes tomorrow. By the way, aunt, I applied for a credit card at HSBC, I'll return your card to you later."

Gu Xiuxiu knew that she had money, so she smiled and said, "You can keep my card, and you don't have to return it to me. Jiaxin, the best years for a woman are between sixteen and thirty. After thirty, you have to dress more conservatively, so dress yourself up while you are young."

Lu Jiaxin thought her idea was very open-minded, at least she said that she should dress herself up before she turned 30. In the mainland, after 30 years, people still think that married women should focus on their families, and dressing up is the right of young girls. These words are nonsense. Women dress up to please themselves, and everyone has the right to love beauty at any age.

Looking at Lu Jiaxin's smooth face, Gu Xiuxiu said, "Jiaxin, you are so beautiful. There will definitely be a lot of people chasing after you when you go to school. Just focus on your studies and ignore those young boys."

Lu Jiaxin said helplessly: "Aunt, I told you not to date before college, have you forgotten so quickly?"

Gu Xiuxiu was a little surprised: "Did I say that?"

After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "Why don't I have any impression of it at all?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat. How come her memory has become so bad? "Aunt, it doesn't matter if you don't remember. Don't worry, my current goal is to get into the Hong Kong University Business School. Everything else is put aside."

Gu Xiuxiu was very pleased and said, "I'm glad you think so. The boys in middle school are still immature and not worthy of you. If you want to get married in the future, you have to marry a man with a good family background, good looks and someone you can talk to."

After chatting with Gu Xiuxiu for a while, and seeing that she looked tired, Lu Jiaxin asked Hong Gu to help her go to bed. After everyone went upstairs, she called Mei Gu to the back garden.

Lu Jiaxin lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong with my aunt? How come she has completely forgotten what I told her more than a week ago?"

Aunt Mei shook her head and said, "Since the serious illness last year, the old lady's memory has not been as good as before. But don't worry, the old lady is taking medicine!"

Lu Jiaxin had to prepare for the exam and run a business, and her energy was limited. Gu Xiuxiu always looked very energetic, so she didn't think much about it, but now she was a little worried. She asked, "Did the doctor tell me what the disease is?"

"Don't worry, young lady. It's not an illness. It's just that your memory has deteriorated due to your age."

Lu Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay that her memory was declining due to her age. She was afraid that it was Alzheimer's disease. It was terrible that she would not recognize anyone after getting this disease.

"My aunt has a bad memory. Does anyone in the He family know about this?"

Aunt Mei said, "I know, but people's memory will get worse as they get older. The old man's memory got worse every year, so they didn't care."

Lu Jiaxin finally felt relieved.

After dinner, Lu Jiaxin accompanied Gu Xiuxiu for a walk in the garden. Gu Xiuxiu said to her, "Hong Gu read me the news yesterday, saying that a wealthy businessman named Lin is now so poor that he can't even pay the rent. He was kicked out by the landlord and has to live on the streets."

"During the previous stock market crashes, many people lost their homes and were left homeless. I also lost a lot of money. This is why I don't buy stocks but only houses. Even if the house price drops, it is still there and can be rented out. But if the stock price drops to the bottom and it is suspended, there is nothing left."

Lu Jiaxin knew that the older generation was more conservative, especially those who had suffered like Gu Xiuxiu, who were more interested in stability. She said, "Aunt, as long as you don't borrow money to invest in stocks, you don't have to worry about normal investments.

"Aunt, I will buy a house later. But I am only studying for one year, so I don't need to buy a house."

She said she rented a house near the school, but Gu Xiuxiu didn't agree to buy her a house. Lu Jiaxin didn't want to take advantage of her and refused. As for her own money, she wanted to run a business and didn't want to take up so much cash flow. Renting a house was just a transition, and she would definitely buy a villa with a large garden in the future.

Gu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Silly girl, you must buy a house and live in it to feel at ease. I will call He Bin later and ask him to buy you a house next to Huaying Middle School. Buy a big one so that you can practice Ba Duan Jin in the house."

Without waiting for Lu Jiaxin to refuse, she said, "Not only will I buy one for you, I'll also buy one for Haifan, one for each of you two siblings."

"Aunt, no, I have money."

Gu Xiuxiu showed a genuine smile on her face: "I know you have money, but you can't refuse a gift from an elder. Just accept it if I buy it for you. Don't be so nagging and it's not pleasant at all."

Lu Jiaxin couldn't refuse anymore.
