Lu Jiaguang wanted to, but he had no money.

Lu Hongjun said that he had more than 4,000 yuan on hand: "Jiajie still has 900 yuan to pay back. You should have some savings. If not, you can borrow some from friends and relatives. If you want to buy, do it early. The price of houses in Beijing is rising every year. It's better to buy early and live in early, and it will save money."

Lu Jiaguang refused and said, "Uncle San, if you have money, buy yourself a house. This building is still not as comfortable as a bungalow."

He now also thinks that the bungalow is good. He has eaten at Lu Jiajie's place several times and feels that it is really convenient. Unlike the tube-shaped building, if you speak loudly, people upstairs and downstairs will hear you, and you can't hide anything from so many eyes.

Lu Hongjun shook his head and said, "I'm going to buy a house outside. Once my company finds out, I'll have to vacate the house I'm living in now."

Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, if you live in such a big house by yourself, your employees will have objections sooner or later. It's better to make plans early."

Lu Hongjun lowered his voice and said, "Someone from above has proposed privatizing public housing. Since there is news, it means that the higher-ups are considering this matter. Maybe in a few years these houses will all be privately owned."

Lu Jiaguang was not as well-informed as him, but the privatization of public housing was beneficial to them. After all, his house was not small.

Lu Hongjun said: "Even if you want to buy a house outside, the house should be under the name of Lu Ping and Lu An, otherwise you will be in a passive position if someone exposes it."

Lu Jiaguang shook his head to indicate that he had no money and would not buy a house: "Uncle San, if you have money and want to buy a house, you can put it under Jiaxin's name. That way, people in your company won't say anything if they know about it, and Jiaxin will be happy if she knows that you care about her."

Lu Hongjun shook his head and said, "She won't want it, and she won't care about such a small thing. Don't rush to refuse, go back and discuss it with Xiaojie."

When Lu Jiaguang got home, he told Wang Xiaojie about this matter: "Uncle San can save his money for his old age. We can't take it, otherwise people will think I am trying to steal his property."

Wang Xiaojie never thought about asking Lu Hongjun for money. As long as he gave her man his connections, that would be enough. "I will bring Lu Zhang and Zhenzhen to visit him the day after tomorrow and will explain everything to him."

Lu Hongjun has made a great contribution to her husband's current situation. Now he lives alone. Lu Jiaguang and Wang Xiaojie will take the children to visit him on weekends when they have time.

After discussing this matter, Wang Xiaojie talked about the matter of borrowing money again: "Jiajie has already repaid the money he borrowed from us. He must have forgotten to pay back the money from Uncle San."

Under Lu Jiaguang's persuasion, Lu Jiajie did not open a shoe factory with his friends but continued to deal in clothing. He made a lot of money in the past six months.

Lu Jiaguang also thought that he had forgotten. Lu Jiajie was not a stingy person. Every time he went to see Lu Hongjun, he would bring a lot of bags, and the clothes of his family were also packed by Lao Wu.

Sighing, Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San is really old."

If it was the case before, he would not have mentioned the 900 yuan at all, but today he told me solemnly. Ding Jing was arrested and Jia Xin left for Hong Kong. Uncle San not only lost his spirit, but also acted more stingily than before.

Wang Xiaojie did not sympathize with Lu Hongjun. He had brought this upon himself. Otherwise, with a daughter as promising as Jiaxin, he would not have to worry about his old age, nor would he have to please them. But then again, although Lu Hongjun was sorry for Jiaxin, he had given their family a great help. One cannot be without conscience. In the future, the couple will definitely take care of Lu Hongjun in his later years.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaojie said, "Jiaguang, let's go to Uncle San's place during the New Year. His place is spacious. Our house is still a little small, and it's hard for so many people to turn around."

Of course Lu Jiaguang had no objection. He thought about the scenes of everyone celebrating the New Year together in the past: "Uncle San's place is big, let's invite Jiajie to join us, it will be lively and lively."

When Lu Jiajie heard that they were going to spend the New Year at Lu Hongjun's place, he agreed without hesitation: "I just bought some New Year's goods to send to Uncle San. I will tell him about this later and he will definitely be very happy."

Lu Jiaguang hummed and asked, "Uncle San is currently living in a public housing unit, and he's worried that it might be taken back by his employer, so he wants to secretly buy a bungalow, but he doesn't have enough money."

Lu Jiajie thought it was not a big deal, and said casually: "Why buy a house? If his house is taken back, I will take him home. It is not safe for him to live alone at such an old age. No one will know if he gets bumped into something, and he will have irregular meals. If he lives in my house, my aunt will do the laundry and cooking, and Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng will accompany him. How nice it is."

Lu Jiaguang asked: "Have you told your uncle about this?"

Lu Jiajie said that he had said it no less than three times, but Lu Hongjun did not agree: "Third uncle said that if my parents knew that he was living in my house, they would definitely come to the city to make trouble."

In fact, Lu Hongjun was not only worried about Uncle Lu and his wife, but also Ma Lili. After so many years of contact, he knew very well that Ma Lili was not a very generous person, and the relationship between the couple was not good. If he wanted to live there, it would be annoying to see them quarreling every day.

Lu Jiaguang said: "Third Uncle is indeed not suitable to go to your house. He is in good health now. When Jiaxin comes back from Hongcheng, we will discuss it together then."

"Will Jiaxin care about Uncle San?"

Lu Jiaguang said with certainty: "As long as Third Uncle and Ding Jing divorce, Jiaxin will definitely take care of it. It cannot be mentioned before the divorce."

In the evening, Lu Jiajie returned home and said to Ma Lili who was cutting vegetables, "I told my eldest brother that we will go to Uncle San's house to celebrate the New Year this year. It's lonely for the old man to be alone, so it will be more lively if we go over there."

He had originally planned to go back to his hometown with Lu Jiazong and the others to celebrate the New Year, but Lu Feng caught a cold and hasn't fully recovered yet, so for the sake of his child's health, he stayed in Sijiu City to celebrate the New Year.

Ma Lili became anxious when she heard this, she put down the knife in her hand and said, "You promised me that you would bring my parents over to celebrate the New Year together this year."

Lu Hongjun has retired and no longer needs to be flattered. In the past six months, she has only visited him once during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her attitude was not as warm as before.

Lu Jiajie's face suddenly turned ugly: "When did I promise to let your parents come to our house for the New Year? Ma Lili, you are lying now."

"You promised it yourself before going to bed that day."

Lu Jiajie didn't remember such a thing, and it was very likely that he was half asleep and was taken advantage of. He didn't show any mercy to Ma Lili, saying, "It's impossible for you to come to my house for the New Year. I've brought Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng to spend the New Year with my uncle. If you don't want to go, go back to your parents' house."

Ma Lili was angry and anxious: "Lu Jiajie, I have already told my parents, how can I put my face down if you do this?"

Lu Jiajie had been humble for the past year and his attitude had softened, so he made this request. When he agreed, I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect him to deny it.

Lu Jiajie snorted coldly and said, "That's your business. Ma Lili, I won't stop you from being a filial daughter, but don't drag me and the two children into this."
