Chapter 357 Things About the Old House
Lu Jingyou took a look and didn't reply. He put the phone aside. Seeing that Su Jiaojiao didn't speak after answering the phone, he asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
He listened to some of the phone calls her mother made to her, and it didn't seem like anything serious.
She rarely showed her emotions, but when she answered the phone, she seemed to be very worried.
"It's okay." Su Jiaojiao smiled at him, "Let's eat!"
For a long time, she had forgotten about Zhang Lan.
Today, she suddenly learned that the once beautiful and healthy girl actually needed to use a wheelchair to travel, and her heart was pierced again...
The firmness and persistence of Liu Yuan and Zhang Lan at the beginning has now become extremely ironic. Sometimes breaking up is not necessarily a bad thing, and getting together is not necessarily a good thing.
If Zhang Lan followed someone else, at least she would be healthy. At most, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would think of her first love Liu Yuan and sigh with regret.
But there is no "if" in life. Once you have made a choice, you can only keep going and live out your life, whether it is happy or sad.
The dim light from outside the window shone in dimly and was reflected on the wall. The girl sitting at the table was quiet and beautiful. Although it was in a restaurant, it felt like home in such an atmosphere... the feeling of home that he had been longing for for a long time.
Seeing that Lu Jingyou was in a good mood, Su Jiaojiao felt relieved after a moment of depression. It was a rare occasion for her to get together with him, and she couldn't let him feel bad. She told him that she was going to Miaomiao Garment Factory to make samples tomorrow. "These shirts of yours will take a few days to be finished. You can wear them when the weather cools down."
"I'm looking forward to it." Lu Jingyou was delighted at the thought of wearing clothes she had made herself. It was truly special to have a wife so skillful. He immediately said, "Shirts alone aren't enough. I need a few suits."
"You're really pushing your luck." Su Jiaojiao glanced at him and said coquettishly, "I don't make custom clothes. I made these shirts for you using sample fabrics. If I were to make a suit, I'd have to choose the fabric all over again. It's not as easy as you say."
"You're right. You'll find out in the future that I'm good at pushing things further." Lu Jingyou caught her gaze and took her hand. "If it's made by you, I'll definitely wear it every day."
"I don't wear my shirts for nothing. You have to advertise for me when needed." When Su Jiaojiao took his measurements, she found that his body proportions made him a natural clothes hanger.
She must keep it for herself.
Let him bring her the goods.
"No problem!" Lu Jingyou didn't know what she meant by advertisement, so he agreed without thinking, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
"Okay, I'll find you when I need you." Su Jiaojiao had already discussed with Ding Linyu that there was no need to rush into production of short-sleeved floral shirts, but to start with long-sleeved floral shirts, and then sell a few in the early spring of next year to test the waters.
Long-sleeved floral shirts sell well, and short-sleeved floral shirts are also fine.
In fact, there are shirts with different patterns on the market now, and they are also worn on the streets, but the millennial trend has not really taken off.
Once the millennial trend sweeps the fashion world, it will be unstoppable. Sales volume is not the problem; rising prices are the most important thing.
"Then it's happily decided." Lu Jingyou agreed happily. "I'll let you know in advance. I'm going to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow with Yu Minghuai. I'll be back in about two weeks."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao joked with him for once, "Your shirt will be ready when you come back."
"Then I have to thank you very much." Lu Jingyou held her hand tightly, "Let's go to the movies then."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed readily. She hadn't seen a movie since coming to the capital. They had a great chat and it was a very pleasant date.
After dinner, he sent Su Jiaojiao back to Jinyuan and returned to the old house.
Lu Jiaping and Qin Xiuming were playing chess with Grandpa Lu. When they saw Lu Jingyou coming back, Grandpa Lu immediately called out to him, "Jingyou, come over and help Grandpa play chess."
"Grandpa, didn't you say that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word?" Qin Xiuming said with a smile, "Why are you still asking my eldest brother to help you?"
"Haha, I didn't ask him to help me. I asked him to finish this game for me." Mr. Lu stood up with a smile on his face. Lu Jingyou walked over and sat down. "Who's going to leave now?"
"It's time for me to go." Lu Jiaping considered for a moment, made a move, and casually asked Lu Jingyou, "Did you go to Zhushankou today?"
"That's right," Lu Jingyou replied. "The procedures for the mountain tunnel have been approved, and construction can begin this month."
"It's quite fast." Lu Jiaping stared at the chessboard for a while, then said, "Then I'll go over and take a look tomorrow, so your grandfather won't say I don't care about anything."
"It's good that you know." Mr. Lu glared at him. "This is a company project. How can Jingyou handle it alone? Don't forget that you still owe the company so much money."
"Dad, why are you bringing this up again?" Lu Jiaping frowned and admitted defeat. "I lost, I lost. I was caught off guard and Jingyou came back to take advantage of me."
"If I didn't mention it, would you care?" Old Master Lu glanced at the chessboard. "I taught Jingyou this move. The disciple is better than the master."
"Oh, I didn't realize that." Lu Jiaping picked up the tea bowl and drank the water. "Xiuming, you and your brother have a plate."
"Forget about Xiuming." Lu Jingyou turned around and went to wash his hands. "Let him practice for a few years before we talk about it."
"I was saying that Big Brother wouldn't play chess with me." Qin Xiuming put away the chessboard. "He thinks my chess skills aren't good enough."
"Your eldest brother's chess skills were taught by your grandfather, and he even participated in chess competitions. You couldn't have achieved this without ten or eight years of accumulation." Lu Jiaping looked at his son and felt more and more guilty about him. Qin Shuang raised him in such an environment, so how could she have cared about cultivating his hobbies.
After all, it was his fault.
He should have thought of the possibility that Qin Shuang was pregnant, and then searched for her relentlessly, instead of hastily going on a blind date and getting married when the search was hopeless.
"You guys chat, I'm going back to my room to rest." Lu Jingyou went into his bedroom. He was tired after a busy day, and he didn't want to chat with Lu Jiaping and his son.
He knew better than anyone what Lu Jiaping had done.
Qin Xiuming will be a senior at the start of the school year. Lu Jiaping has already arranged an internship for him in the company. Mr. Lu also asked him to familiarize himself with the company's business as soon as possible and come back to help Lu Jingyou.
Lu Jingyou could only acquiesce to the arrangements of Mr. Lu and Lu Jiaping. He also knew Lu Jiaping's intentions. Anyway, Jiahe Group was in the state it was in. If Qin Xiuming could bring the company back to life, it would be his ability.
The old house is a quadrangle courtyard, and it was also the first house where the Lu family settled in the imperial capital. It has many rooms but not many people living there.
Except for the old couple and Lu Jingyou and Lu Qingqing, everyone else comes back to stay at irregular intervals.
Old Mrs. Lu still prepared rooms for everyone, cleaned them regularly, and allowed them to live there whenever they came back.
As soon as Lu Jingyou left, Lu Jiaping and Qin Xiuming lost interest in playing chess and went back to their rooms to rest.
As soon as Lu Jingyou returned to his room, Mrs. Lu came in: "Jingyou, your mother came today and said that you haven't been home for a few days. Go back and see her when you have time."
"Okay." Lu Jingyou agreed, "I'm going to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow. I'll go see her when I come back."
"Jingyou, your mother has a quick temper, but she is your mother after all, and she is doing this for your own good." Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Jingyou was answering absent-mindedly and continued, "I told her today that I want to renovate our house so that you can get married here in the future. She agreed."
"Grandma, it's too early for me to get married!"
"You're old enough now. If you meet someone you like, you should marry him/her as soon as possible. The family will have to make preparations for you in advance." Mrs. Lu said seriously, "You can decide where to live after you get married, but the wedding will be held here in the old house."
"Okay, I'll listen to grandma." Lu Jingyou couldn't help but smile when he thought that this bedroom would become his and her new home in the future.
In fact, he hadn't had time to think about these things. After the old lady said that, he also felt that the wedding room should be prepared.
Three years was neither short nor long. As soon as she graduated, he started preparing for the wedding without delay.
