Gu Wenfeng took a taxi and said to the driver, "Let's go to Sijiucheng Hotel."
Lu Jiaxin didn't plan to stay back at Guangming Road this time. First, she didn't want to trouble Lu Ersao to take care of her; second, she didn't want to be surrounded by the residents in the alley again, and feel like a monkey. She didn't plan to stay for long, maybe about three days! So staying in a hotel was the best.
Sijiucheng Hotel used to only receive VIPs, but now it is open to the public. Sijiucheng has good public security, and Lu Jiaxin has Gu Wenfeng, Wang Lin, and Qian Xiaoxiao by her side, so she gave Zong Jinghua a week off. His daughter's surgery was successful, and after she was discharged from the hospital and recuperated at home for more than a month, Zong Jinghua sent his wife and daughter to Australia. The environment there is good, which is conducive to physical recuperation.
The Sijiucheng Hotel has heating, and you can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. Lu Jiaxin took off her down jacket before even reaching the room.
Qian Xiaoxiao said: "It is worthy of being the best hotel in the city. It is so comfortable."
Lu Jiaxin felt that this hotel was still inferior to foreign five-star hotels. However, everything in China was still in its infancy and would improve in the future.
After sitting down and resting for a while, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiaguang: "Brother, I have returned to Sijiu City. I didn't go back to Guangming Road, but stayed at Sijiu City Hotel." "If I go back, my second sister-in-law will be busy, so I won't bother her."
Lu Jiaguang said, "Is it appropriate for you to stay in a hotel at home? Check out and go home."
How could Lu Jiaxin possibly listen to him: "We'll stay at a hotel this time, but next time I come back I'll definitely stay at home. Brother, I've already bought a house."
The home she was talking about was not Guangming Road, but the big house with five courtyards in Shichahai. The house was spacious and beautiful, and living in it would make you feel better.
Lu Jiaguang was shocked: "You've already bought the house? When did you come back?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I asked someone to buy it. Brother, when you have time, I'll take you to see it."
He Bin had already drawn a sketch of the layout of the house for her, so she had a general idea of it.
Lu Jiaguang got anxious when he heard this: "Buying a house is such a big deal, why didn't you tell us?"
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said that she forgot about it when she was busy: "Brother, both houses have been repaired now, but the pillars and furniture of the houses are painted. The paint contains something that is not good for the body. You can't live in it for at least half a year."
I bought furniture for the master bedroom, but I didn't care about the other rooms. Everyone has different preferences, so let them buy what they want!
Next year, his third son will take the high school entrance exam, and his daughter will go to junior high school. After they finish their exams, they will just move. But when he thought of Lu Hongjun, he suddenly felt a headache.
Lu Jiaguang did not hide it from her and said, "Jiaxin, your father thinks the house we live in now is too small and keeps asking when we will buy a new house. He knows that you have bought a house and will probably move in before the New Year."
In the past few months, Lu Hongjun would ask about the house every ten days or half a month. Fortunately, he didn't know Jiaxin's phone number, otherwise he would have to urge his sister every day.
Lu Jiaxin said, "The house has been prepared, and it has a heated kang. They can move in before the New Year. But the house in the family compound has three rooms, so how can it be small?"
She didn't tell anyone before because she was worried about affecting Lu Jiaxin's studies. Now that she's back, she can't hide it because Lu Hongjun will definitely look for her.
Lu Jiaguang sighed and said, "Tang Sufen's eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. She doesn't look good, but she said she has to take care of the whole family, so she asked her mother to take care of her. There are only two rooms in their house, one for Huang Jianshe and his wife, and one for his mother-in-law, so the second son of the Huang family also lives in the staff quarters of the department store. You and your family of three used to live in a spacious place, but now there are six of you, and Huang Jianshe and his wife will go there on weekends, so it seems crowded."
Lu Jiaxin said, "We bought a house with one entrance. The layout is similar to the one that Fifth Brother bought before. It has four rooms, a kitchen and a woodshed. I also asked the master to build a toilet so that we don't have to squeeze into the public toilet."
Lu Jiaguang felt that he had thought it through very well. Hearing a yawn coming from the other end of the phone, he asked Lu Jiaxin to go and rest first: "After get off work, your sister-in-law and I will meet you at the hotel."
"That's fine."
Wang Xiaojie knew that this was in the future and she couldn’t wait until after get off work, so she hung up the phone, asked for leave from her director, and then rushed to the hotel to find Lu Jiaxin.
Qian Xiaoxiao saw her and said apologetically, "Sister Xin has been on a bus and a plane today, she is very tired and has fallen asleep now. Sister-in-law, do you want to wait for a while? Don't worry, you don't have to wait for long. Sister Xin usually takes half an hour for her nap."
"good."
Half an hour later, Lu Jiaxin woke up on time. When she saw Wang Xiaojie, she yawned and said, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you wake me up when you and brother came?"
Wang Xiaojie said that she had just arrived: "Jia Xin, where did you buy the house? I asked your eldest brother, but he said he forgot to ask."
She was almost mad to death because she forgot to ask about such a big thing.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The house is next to Chaoyang Park, where transportation is convenient. You can take a bus directly to your hospital."
Wang Xiaojie was shocked: "Next to Chaoyang Park? The houses there are very expensive now. Jiaxin, how much did this house cost?"
Lu Jiaxin vaguely said that it didn't cost much: "Sister-in-law, if you are not satisfied with anything when you go there later, you can ask the master to come and redo it next year when the weather is warmer."
As they were talking, Gu Wenfeng came back, carrying a cotton jacket and trousers. Lu Jiaxin took them to the bathroom to change, and when she came out, Qian Xiaoxiao's eyes were wide open. When she came back, she was still a fashionable girl, but now she has turned into a big girl from Northeast China.
Lu Jiaxin's body has recovered, but she is still afraid of the cold. In such a cold day, if she wears thin clothes, she will catch a cold. She would rather dress ugly than get sick and take medicine.
The five of them left Qian Xiaoxiao to pack up, and the other four took a taxi to look at houses. When they arrived at the alley, Lu Jiaxin first took her to the house where Lu Hongjun was going to live.
After looking at the layout inside, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but say, "This house is very similar to the one your fifth brother used to live in!"
"Same pattern, I told my brother on the phone."
Wang Xiaojie had always liked the layout of Lu Jiajie's house, but she thought that it would be a bit crowded for Tang Sufen's family to live in. After all, their children would definitely want their own rooms when they were ready to get married. There would probably be a fuss at that time, but Lu Hongjun deserved it.
