Chapter 645 Gift
The day after the engagement party, Lu Jiaxin took Lu Dasao and Lu Ping to go shopping, while Lu Shan stayed in the hospital to accompany Lu Hongjun.
Lu Dasao only looked at things in Harbour City and Central but didn't dare to buy them, even if Lu Jiaxin bought them for her. She said very sincerely: "Jiaxin, it's too expensive. It's a waste to give us such expensive things. And there are many people with envy. Our family is already very well off, so it's better to keep a low profile on weekdays."
At Lu Dasao's request, Lu Jiaxin finally bought only two suits for the two brothers, which they could wear on important occasions. As for Lu Dasao, she gave her a gold necklace. .
Although they didn't buy anything, the mother and her two children were enlightened after a day. The brand-name clothes cost thousands or tens of thousands, the watches cost hundreds of thousands, and the jewelry and bags were also ridiculously expensive. Although there are more things in Sijiu City now than before, the prices are not so outrageous.
On the way back, Mrs. Lu asked, "Jiaxin, I want to go to the wholesale market that Shanzi mentioned tomorrow. The things there are said to be good."
The things in places like Harbour City and Central are definitely good, but the consumption in these places is beyond the reach of ordinary people. On the contrary, the wholesale market is good quality and cheap.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Tomorrow Lu Ping will accompany my father, and let Shanzi take you to the wholesale market."
Lu Ping was eager to go shopping. It was too tiring. He would rather stay in the hospital. When his uncle was doing rehabilitation training, he could sit next to him to rest or read. It's not like shopping, walking all the time, boring and tiring.
The next morning, Lu Jiaxin gave Mrs. Lu 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. After being rejected, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you take this money first, and return it to me if you don't use it when shopping."
Lu Shan said, "Aunt, you take it first!"
When they arrived at the wholesale market, Mrs. Lu understood why Lu Shan persuaded her to take the money. There are so many good things in this market that I can't stop buying. Not only did I spend all the 6,000 Hong Kong dollars I brought with me, but I also spent all the 30,000 Hong Kong dollars that Lu Jiaxin borrowed.
In the evening, Mrs. Lu said embarrassedly: "Jiaxin, I'm sorry, I can't stop buying. I'll sell the things when I go back and remit the money to you."
Lu Jiaxin didn't refuse, but just said: "Don't remit it, there will be a handling fee. You can give this money directly to Secretary Tong for my father's daily expenses."
"Okay."
Su Heyuan and Su Heming happened to be returning to Sijiu City that day, and Lu Jiaxin asked Lu Hongjun and Mrs. Lu to go with them. It was also because there were so many people that they could average out a large box (big bag), otherwise so many things might not be able to pass the customs.
When they met at the port, Su Heyuan was a little surprised to see Lu Hongjun: "Didn't you say that he should continue to do rehabilitation here? Why is he going back?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "The doctor said that it would be best to do rehabilitation treatment for another two months, but he didn't want to stay here, saying that there was no one to talk to around him. Compared to rehabilitation treatment, the doctor said that mood is more important."
She thought that Lu Hongjun would stay for rehabilitation treatment because he was afraid of death, but he didn't know that he didn't want to stay when he heard that Lu Ping and Lu Shan were going back. He said that there was no one to talk to in the hospital, and he was bored to death, so he might as well go back to see a Chinese doctor for conditioning.
Lu Jiaxin respected his choice in this matter. Rehabilitation treatment can recover faster, and if you don't do it, you can get better slowly.
Su Heyuan hummed and said: "Don't worry, I will help you send him home safely."
"You are not going to Pengcheng, why do you have to go back to the mainland?"
Su Heyuan said: "There is a little conflict over there, I have to go there to solve it, and I will be back in three days at most."
The wedding will be in another week, and there are many things to do before the wedding. The wife is pregnant now and can't be burdened, and the wedding cannot be handled by the woman's family. Fortunately, Susan offered to help, saving him a lot of trouble.
They had to catch the bus, so they talked for a while and then separated. There were a lot of people crossing the border today, so Lu Shan helped Lu Hongjun sit next to him and wait.
Lu Shan brought water to Lu Hongjun, and soon after he finished drinking the water, he helped him go to the bathroom. He also talked to him while waiting, and was very patient.
Su Heyuan saw all this and felt that Lu Hongjun was finally smart. Although Lu Shan had no ability, he was honest and filial.
The plane landed at 5 pm and returned to Sijiucheng at around 6 pm. Lu Hongjun still lived in the house in Chaoyang. Before, Lu Jiaxin didn't let him live in the big house in Shichahai, and he wanted to live there, but he felt bored after living there for a month. Here in Chaoyang, he goes to the park or chats with people outside during the day, and Lu Jiaguang, Wang Xiaojie and the children come to see him every day, and even Lu Jiazong and his wife come to visit every now and then. In Shichahai, the nephew and his niece come once a week.
Lu Shan put away all the things he brought with him, and did not go home until the next day when his aunt and the nurse came. Before leaving, he told his aunt to stew a bowl of nourishing food for Lu Hongjun every morning and evening.
Da Mai knew that he had gone home last night, but his aunt and the nurse had to go to work today and did not come back. When she saw people, she asked curiously, "Is the engagement party of aunt very lively?"
Lu Shan nodded and said, "It is very lively. There are many powerful people among the guests, such as the second and third richest people in Hong Kong, the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong, the chairman of the Securities Commission... But I don't know these people, so I just sat in my seat honestly."
She didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying the wrong thing and making a fool of herself. Not only her, but also her aunt and Lu Ping all spoke very little at the engagement party.
Da Mai felt that he was right: "I can't fight for face for my aunt, but I can't hold my aunt back either."
Lu Shan took out an exquisite jewelry box, which contained an exquisite gold necklace: "My aunt has one, and she has already worn it. I will put it on you too."
"Do you have all of them?"
Lu Shan shook his head and said: "No, only my aunt and you have it, my mother and the third aunt don't have it. It's good that you know about this, don't tell my mother."
Hearing this, Da Mai sighed: "This time, my aunt didn't invite my father, mother and Xiao Qiu to the engagement party. It's obvious that she doesn't plan to interact with each other."
If she didn't invite them to the engagement party, she won't invite them to the wedding in the future. In the countryside, it is an unwritten rule that if you don't invite them to weddings and funerals, it means that the two families will not interact with each other in the future.
Speaking of this, Lu Shan couldn't stop the anger in his heart: "Dad only thought he was hiding it deeply, but he didn't know that his aunt saw through his thoughts at a glance, and he still thought he was right and was thinking about me and the children. I have a house and a shop, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why do I need him to worry about these things?"
Damai was actually annoyed with the Lu family clan, who was incompetent but also caused trouble. Before, the family was disturbed by letting the second brother marry Peng Xiangye, and now this incident has caused grandfather and aunt to be angry: "I just feel sorry for mother. She manages everything in the family. Dad doesn't help to share the burden and just makes things more chaotic."
Lu Shan also feels sorry for Lu Ersao, but he can't do anything about it: "We can only slowly enlighten mother. Fortunately, Taozi will be transferred to Sijiucheng in a while, so mother can worry less."
"Taozi is going to be transferred back to Sijiucheng? Who told you."
Lu Shan smiled and said: "My aunt told me on the way. She is already going through the transfer procedures and will be back in December at the latest."
Da Mai was very happy to hear that. Lu Ersao treated her well, and she also hoped that Lu Ersao could be happy.
