Chapter 392 Feudal Thought



Lu Jiaxin smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Seeing that he hadn't eaten breakfast, he asked the kitchen to send another portion over. The young man in his twenties had a big appetite, and a bowl of braised beef noodles was not enough, so he ate a plate of steamed dumplings.

After eating, Lu Shan praised: "Aunt, this braised beef is really delicious. I wonder how it was braised."

"Why, you want to learn?"

Lu Shan nodded heavily, indicating that learning more about food would attract more customers: "Aunt, these buns are also delicious, and they taste different from the ones my mother makes."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I can write down the method of making braised beef for you. You can take it back and study it slowly. You need to ask the chef about the method of making steamed dumplings. See if he is willing to teach you. If he is willing, you should give him a big red envelope. If not, it is his craft and you can't have any opinions about it."

Lu Shan nodded and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know the rules."

After breakfast, Lu Jiaxin went to Chaoyang to visit Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu. Lu Shan was very surprised, as he thought they were going to a cemetery in the suburbs today.

Lu Jiaxin said, "We will go to Rong County tomorrow to move my grandmother's grave first, and then move my mother's grave on the 25th."

Lu Shan knew that Grandma Lu’s grave also had to be moved, but he thought it was at the back: “Aunt, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

Lu Jiaxin nodded.

The car stopped outside the alley. Lu Jiaxin took some supplements and fruits, and asked Wang Lin to take the rest to Uncle Lu. If she didn't go to see Lu Hongjun when she got here, she would be criticized by others, even Uncle Lu and Auntie would say she was immature.

Lu Hongjun was playing with his thrush while Tang Sufen was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard a knock on the door, she got up and opened it.

When she opened the door and saw that it was Lu Jiaxin, Tang Sufen paused, then smiled warmly: "It's Jiaxin! Old Lu, Old Lu, Jiaxin is here, Jiaxin is here."

When Lu Jiaxin saw her reaching out to take the things she was carrying, she took two steps back to avoid her and walked in.

Lu Hongjun knew that Lu Jiaxin would be back these days, and Lu Jiajie told him about the relocation of the grave. He was not happy about Lu Jiaxin's relocation, but he knew it was useless to stop her, so he said nothing.

Lu Jiaxin put the things on the stone table in the yard, looked at him carefully and said, "You have gained a lot of weight. Being fat is not good for your health when you are old. You should eat more light food in the future."

Lu Hongjun was flattered to hear that she cared about him.

Tang Sufen said hurriedly: "Jiaxin, don't worry, I will keep an eye on your dad and make him eat less fried and spicy food and more light food.

Lu Jiaxin was not concerned about him, but was worried that he would get sick and make everyone uneasy. She ignored Tang Sufen and said, "I'm going to visit my uncle and aunt, please take care of yourself!"

Lu Hongjun did not stop him. It was already a pleasant surprise that he could come to see him, so he did not dare to make any more requests.

After he left, Tang Sufen asked with red eyes: "Old Lu, what did you mean by that?"

He loved Lu Shan's three children very much, and whenever they met, he would buy them some food or daily necessities, which all cost money. So he took back the retirement savings book, and only gave two-thirds of it to Tang Sufen every month, and kept the rest in his own hands. Tang Sufen was not willing to do so, so she made a scene and even wanted to divorce him, but Lu Hongjun was unmoved, and the matter ended up in vain.

Tang Sufen was so stunned that she couldn't speak.

When the aunt saw Lu Jiaxin, she burst into tears without saying a word, and then she hugged her in her arms and said distressedly: "You child, you child, what can I say to you? So many things happened and you didn't tell any of your family. If anything happens to you, how can I face your mother when I get to the underground?"

Lu Shan was completely confused.

Lu Jiaxin guessed that they should know about the He family. It was not surprising. There is no impenetrable wall in this world, not to mention that Auntie and Hong Gu are still here! Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Although the people of the He family are not good in character, I am just an ignorant girl from the mainland. They don't take me seriously."

Uncle Lu took the pipe from his waist, put it in his mouth and took a puff. Knowing that Lu Jiaxin didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he didn't light the pipe.

"Girl, I know you don't want us to worry, but how could you not tell us anything about such a big thing? The He family is extremely vicious, and you can still stand here safely, all because of your mother's blessing."

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but think of a saying from later generations. Being a parent is too difficult. When you are alive, you have to devote yourself to your children and grandchildren, and when you die, you have to bless them.

Lu Jiaxin shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and said, "Uncle, aunt, it's all in the past, so don't mention it."

Some of that family died, some were sent to jail, and it feels unlucky to mention them.

Uncle Lu immediately changed the subject and asked, "Jia Xin, when will you bring Nie Zhan back for us to see?"

When they first knew that Lu Jiaxin was dating someone in Hong Kong, they were worried about being cheated. Later, Aunt Mei said that the Nie family was very wealthy and had a great reputation in Hong Kong. Nie Zhan was very good in all aspects. When the He family made things difficult and threatened Lu Jiaxin, he was always by her side to protect her. Although they had never met, Uncle Lu and the others accepted this niece-in-law in their hearts.

Lu Jiaxin said vaguely: "I'm still studying now, and he is also very busy, let's talk about it when we have time."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu did not continue to ask: "Jia Xin, can your mother's grave not be moved? Shanzi is now adopted by your father, and he will visit your mother's grave during Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival in the future.

No one told him before, and he only knew about it when Lu Jiazong let it slip. According to Uncle Lu's original intention, he would not let Lu Jiaxin move the grave. But Jiaguang got such a big house, and the second son's family is now prosperous because of Jiaxin. As the saying goes, you should be grateful to others, so he couldn't be tough.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Uncle, I have already arranged this matter and I will not change it."

Uncle Lu didn't give up and said, "You can visit your mother's grave now, but who will visit her grave after you die? By then, the grave will be overgrown with weeds. But if your mother stays here, even if Shanzi gets too old to walk, we will still have Goudan and Gousheng!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Uncle, who knows what will happen in a few decades? Ziyu and Ziling may go abroad to study and settle down there and never come back. But if we move to Hong Kong, at least my children and I will go to pay tribute to her during the Qingming Festival and other festivals."

Uncle Lu immediately said, "You can go abroad to study, but you must come back. If you stay abroad and don't come back, you will be a fake foreigner, and the Lu family will not recognize such a child or grandchild."

To settle abroad is to be a fake foreigner. This is really a feudal idea! (End of this chapter)
