After Lu Hongjun finished his work, he went to Guangming Road.
Seeing him, Lu Jiaxin said sarcastically, "Hey, you're here to support your precious daughter? Then you've come to the wrong place. If she dares to come again, I will beat her so hard that she can't take care of herself."
Lu Hongjun said: "Xinxin, Zhao Siyi is just an adopted daughter, you are my biological daughter. Dad will only support you if he wants to."
What he said was better than what he sang. In the past few years, the original body had suffered so much injustice at home that he seemed to be blind and could not see anything. It was too late for him to play the role of a good father now.
Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly and said, "If you really love me, drive Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi away, but are you willing to do that?"
Lu Hongjun sighed and said, "Xinxin, your Aunt Ding and I are husband and wife, how can I let her sleep on the street? If I do this, the people from the Women's Federation will come to talk to me soon."
Lu Jiaxin was so angry that she laughed. She said mercilessly: "Dad, there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. Since you have chosen that vicious mother and daughter, don't come to me again in the future. As for me, I will treat myself as an orphan from now on."
Lu Hongjun's face darkened, but he thought that Lu Jiaxin was just being resentful and that was why she was speaking without restraint: "I know you've been wronged, but you should also understand Dad. I'm already this old and my health is not good. If I divorce your Aunt Ding Jing, who will take care of me in the future?"
In her memory, Lu Hongjun had always used patriarchy to suppress the original body. Lu Jiaxin thought that what she said just now would make him turn around and leave, but she didn't expect that he would explain in a nice voice. But soon, she understood. Lu Hongjun wanted to enjoy his wife's tenderness and care, but he was also worried that she would run away in the future when he had no money and power. If it really came to that, he would have to rely on his daughter for his old age. This is a really good calculation! After figuring this out, Lu Jiaxin changed her mind and said, "Now I can't sleep at all because of the heat every day. When will you deliver the two electric fans?"
In fact, she wanted an air conditioner more, but unfortunately air conditioners are scarce and difficult to buy now. Besides, the power consumption is also terrifying.
Lu Hongjun said he would send it to her in the next two days.
Lu Jiaxin asked again when the bicycles would arrive, and this time she wanted two, one for her and one for Xue Mao.
Lu Hongjun said that they would be delivered this week, but he thought two were too many: "You and Xue Mao only need one bicycle."
The easier he talked to, the less ashamed Lu Jiaxin was, but she wanted the best and was not soft-hearted: "Help me find an English speaking teacher, preferably one who has studied abroad and has standard pronunciation."
Lu Hongjun felt a toothache. He was too bold to think: "My daughter, the experts and scholars who have returned from studying abroad are all talents that the country needs. How can they come to teach you?"
He can't hire such talents.
Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, just looked at him.
In the end, Lu Hongjun gave in and said he would try his best to find one. Although he couldn't hire students who were studying abroad, he could still hire students from the Foreign Languages Institute.
Lu Jiaxin talked about the housewarming party again: "Fifth brother said that we must have two tables. Dad, how many dishes should be prepared for the housewarming party? What else do we need to buy?"
Moving to a new house is a big deal. Lu Hongjun waved his hand and said, "I will talk to your fifth brother about this matter. Let him and your fifth sister-in-law take care of it. Don't worry about it."
Having achieved her goal, Lu Jiaxin felt better.
Seeing her expression soften, Lu Hongjun felt that she was still a child. He said earnestly, "Xinxin, a boy like Fan Yinuo, although he has a good family background and looks good, is indecisive and has bad character. You won't be happy after marrying such a man."
This was true, but Lu Jiaxin didn't like to hear him preach, so she deliberately said something to stop him: "Where Ding Jing used to live, many people said she was a vixen and liked to seduce men. What did you say at the time? You said those were all gossips and slander, and Ding Jing was pure and honest and was a white lotus."
"She should keep herself clean. How can Zhao Siyi date Fan Yinuo when she knows he is my fiancé? If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Zhao Siyi's shameless behavior is learned from Ding Jing."
Lu Hongjun said with a straight face: "Xinxin, Aunt Ding is your elder after all, how can you say such things?"
Lu Jiaxin was not afraid of falling out with him: "If you don't want to listen, then don't come. I have been living well in the ancient capital for more than a month without any money. Even if you don't give me money, I can still support myself."
Lu Hongjun was a little angry at first, but when he saw his daughter lightly say that they would not have any contact, he felt a little nervous: "Xinxin, since you don't want to listen, then Dad won't say it anymore."
In the past, although his daughter would quarrel with him and make him angry, she still respected and loved him as a father. But after she came back this time, not only did she lose her admiration for him, but she was also very impatient with him. Obviously, the previous incident also angered him, and if he took Ding Jing's side again, his daughter would really break off the father-daughter relationship with him.
Lu Jiaxin just listened and didn't take it to heart. It was because Lu Hongjun still needed him that he was pretending to be nice to him. He would not be patient enough to talk nonsense with him until he developed himself.
In the evening, Lu Jiajie brought two electric fans and a bicycle. He asked curiously, "Jiaxin, how did you make Uncle San change his mind and buy an electric fan and a bicycle so quickly?"
"Zhao Siyi is here today."
Lu Jiajie's face immediately sank: "She almost killed you, and we didn't go to settle the score with her, but she still had the nerve to come to you. Xinxin, what did she do? If you were bullied, I will help you get back at her."
He doesn't sound like a father of two kids at all when he says this, but rather like someone who wants to get into society.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I beat her up. You don't know, she howled so loudly that everyone in the alley could hear her."
Lu Jiajie gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister, you beat Zhao Siyi, and your uncle not only didn't blame you, but also took the initiative to buy you an electric fan and a bicycle. You are really amazing."
He has always known that Lu Jiaxin is smart. If she wasn't smart, she wouldn't be in the top five in the school. It's just that she was childish when she was young, but now she is like an adult. Even Third Uncle is controlled by her. As long as Third Uncle is not partial, Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi are nothing to worry about.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and changed the subject: "I bought a calendar today and found out that Sunday is a good day for moving to a new house. Fifth brother, let's have the housewarming party on Sunday!"
"Then let's set it for Sunday. I'll call and tell my brother tomorrow."
Lu Jiaxin felt that she should talk about these things herself: "Fifth brother, I will call my eldest brother myself. Please help tell my fifth sister-in-law."
After Lu Jiajie agreed, he said, "Jiaxin, your sister-in-law told me that Xiaofeng suddenly had diarrhea this afternoon, so I have to go home tonight."
Lu Jiaxin asked with concern: "Is it serious? Have you taken him to the hospital?"
Lu Jiajie said that he was still unclear, but he had received a call from Ma's mother. Because Ma Lili had asked for leave to go back, he was not in a hurry to go back.
Lu Jiaxin went into the house and took out a bag. Seeing that Lu Jiajie didn't want it, she said, "Fifth brother, there are apples in it. Eating steamed apples can relieve diarrhea symptoms. Fifth brother, didn't you say we are a family? Don't be so polite. Take it quickly."
Lu Jiajie took the apple home.
Ma Lili was a little surprised to see Lu Jiajie: "Didn't you say you would stay at Guangming Road tonight? Why are you back?"
Lu Jiajie asked his daughter first, and found out that the child had taken the medicine and fell asleep. He put the bag on the table and said, "The child is not feeling well, I must come back. Jiaxin said that eating steamed apples is helpful for diarrhea. I will steam two apples later and let Aqiang and Xiaofeng eat one each."
"Let's steam three, or Xiao Pang will start crying again later."
Lu Jiajie didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Ma Lili changed the subject abruptly: "How did Jiaxin know that eating steamed apples can cure diarrhea?"
As she said this, she stood up and prepared to take out three apples and put the rest away in the drawer. But looking at the bulging bag, she felt something was wrong.
"I didn't ask that. She read so many books. If she said they were useful, then they must be useful."
"ah……"
Ma Lili took out two sets of clothes from the bag, one army green and one pink skirt. She was surprised and asked, "You actually bought clothes for your child?"
On weekdays, Lu Jiajie would buy snacks for the children, but never bought them clothes, shoes or socks.
Lu Jiajie looked at the clothes and skirts and said with a smile: "I didn't buy them. I was in a hurry to get back and forgot to open the bag to check."
Ma Lili was grateful for Lu Jiaxin's kindness, but she still had to say, "Jiajie, find a chance to remind Xinxin to be more frugal in the future. Things are different now, and we can't be so extravagant anymore."
Lu Jiajie glanced at his wife and said, "Why save money? If you run out of money, ask your third uncle for it. If he doesn't give it to you, ask your eldest brother to talk to you."
Jiaxin was too frugal before, and ended up giving all her money to that vicious mother and daughter. Now her sister has become smarter, and not only knows how to ask for money, but also knows how to ask for things.
Ma Lili frowned and said, "What do you know? Once you get used to being extravagant, it will be hard to change. We can't hurt Jiaxin just to compete with that woman."
Lu Jiajie would not persuade her. He said, "Xinxin was able to set up a snack stand to support herself and Xue Mao even though she had lost her memory. She also saved enough money to buy a ticket back in just over a month. You, don't worry about it."
He felt that his sister would still be fine even if she left his uncle. On the contrary, it was uncertain whether Ding Jing would still be able to serve him as she did now after his retirement in two years.
Ma Lili asked curiously, "Is it profitable to set up a snack stand?"
Lu Jiajie hummed and said, "Xinxin said that the most she made in a day was more than 40 yuan, and the least was about 10 yuan, which is much better than what we make at work."
It made him feel itchy, but he didn't dare to try it easily.
Ma Lili didn't expect to make so much money, but she wouldn't be tempted no matter how much she made. Setting up a snack stand is hard work in the wind and rain, and most importantly, it's not decent.
