MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property-Chapter 11 Small house

 Chapter 11 Little House

Lu Jiaxin knew the detailed address of the house, but she was not familiar with Sijiu City and did not know the specific location. Fortunately, Lu Jiaguang and Lu Jiajie were familiar with this place, and they took her and Xue Mao there on bicycles.

 Liao Xiangmei still had something to do at home, so she went back after asking for the address.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Lu Jiaxin looked curiously at both sides of the street. Forty-nine cities today are completely different from those forty years later. The trees beside the road are tall and green, the houses are low and dilapidated, and there are electric wires crisscrossing the road. These are all signs of the times!

Lu Jiaxin didn’t see a single car on the road. They were all riding bicycles or walking. She was a little regretful. If she had a camera, she would have taken this scene. Forty years later, these photos would be particularly precious.

Passing by a primary school, Lu Jiaxin exclaimed when she saw the name of the school. It turned out to be Guangming Primary School. This primary school later became a key primary school in Sijiu City and became famous throughout the country. Those parents who don’t want to lose at the starting line work hard to get their children to study here.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother, is my house not far from here?"

 “It’s not far, just turn a corner and you’ll be there.”

As Lu Jiaguang said, after riding forward for two or three minutes, he turned into an alley, looked for the house number and quickly found the house.

Looking at the clean exterior wall and Cheng Liang's door, Lu Jiaguang looked puzzled: "Xinxin, this is really it. Did you remember correctly?"

This house does not look like it has been occupied for a long time.

“This is the address my mother told me, there can be no mistake.”

Lu Jiajie said with a smile: "Xinxin, take the key and open the door. If it can be opened, it means it is right."

 It turns out that the original person remembered the address correctly. She quickly opened the door, but as soon as she pushed it open, her eyes widened.

The entrance is a yard, which is more than 30 square meters by visual inspection. There is a road in the middle of the yard. On the left are two flowerbeds with vegetables growing in them. These vegetables are green and very pleasing; on the right is a jujube tree. Under the jujube tree, there are Stone table and bench.

Lu Jiaguang was also surprised when he saw this courtyard. Lu Jiaxin said it was a small house before, and he thought it was just two rooms, but he never expected it to be a courtyard.

Seeing that the ground was clean, Lu Jiaguang said, "Jiaxin, does Third Aunt ask someone to clean the yard regularly?"

Lu Jiaxin said she didn't know: "Mom didn't tell me. But Mrs. Xie bought this yard with help. Maybe she asked someone to clean it."

Lu Jiaguang frowned: "Are you sure Mrs. Xie bought this house with help?"

The third aunt lost her life to save the only seedling of the Xie family. She didn’t want them to show up again after the third aunt’s death. He felt that the Xie family was unkind and unjust, and was not worthy of his third aunt. But now it seems that there may be something he doesn't know about.

Lu Jiaxin knew that he had misunderstood the Xie family, and explained: "Brother, my mother told me before she died that if I encounter something difficult to solve or a matter of life and death in the future, I can go to the Xie family for help, and we should not interact with each other on weekdays."

 Originally she was young and didn't understand, but Lu Jiaxin understood Mother Lu's good intentions. The old man of the Xie family had recovered his reputation and was about to get up. If the two families frequently moved around, it would be Lu Hongjun and the Lu family who would benefit in the end.

The more the kindness is used, the less it becomes. If the Lu family uses it, they may not care about it if something happens to the original person in the future. But you should not move around at ordinary times. If something happens to the original person, as long as it is not a matter of principle such as committing a crime, they will definitely help.

Lu Jiaguang was startled at first, then he understood. The third aunt really worked hard for her sister, but it was a pity that she left too early, otherwise Xinxin would not have suffered like this. The house has three main rooms, two east and west wing rooms, three side rooms, and one wing room on the left and right sides. There is also a woodshed and a kitchen. Such a courtyard house would cost hundreds of millions in future generations.

Xue Mao followed and turned around, secretly clicking his tongue. The former landowner Lao Cai probably lived in a house like this, but it was taboo to say this, so he only dared to think it in his mind but did not dare to say it out loud.

Lu Jiajie patted Lu Jiaxin on the shoulder and said enviously: "Little sister, congratulations to you for owning such a big house at such a young age."

He has not been assigned a house seven years after joining the factory, and his family of four still lives in his father-in-law’s home. A few years ago, my eldest sister and her husband would say sarcastic words from time to time, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law would not worry about them. But recently my father-in-law's attitude has changed, and it's very uncomfortable to live there now. Alas, when will he be able to own his own house like Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaguang had a lot of things to do, so he reminded Lu Jiaxin: "Nowadays, every family is nervous about housing. Your house is so big, it is inevitable that someone will have ideas. Xinxin, if someone wants to live in or rent your house, don't agree. It's really not good. If you refuse, blame it on me.”

 How could Lu Jiaxin agree? What should I do if my relatives and friends come to stay, but they won’t leave? As for renting a house, you can make money by doing any business now, so there will be no difference in rent.

Lu Jiajie thought more: "Brother, it's so chaotic outside now. Jiaxin's house is so big, if someone with bad intentions is targeting him..."

Lu Jiaxin thinks this matter can be easily solved: "Find someone to lay some traps under the wall. If they dare to climb over the wall and come in, we will send them to jail."

 She is actually not worried about being harassed by gangsters because it is close to an elementary school and she doesn’t have to worry about security issues in the future.

Lu Jiaguang thought this was a good idea and said he would ask someone about it when he got back.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Brother, we can live in this house after we clean it. See if you can move the furniture and bedding from my room today."

This house only has furniture in the main room, and the other rooms are empty. She had a place to sleep, but Xue Mao did not.

After saying that, she explained the reason for her urgency: "I told everything about what Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi did, and now everyone in the family home knows about it. Ding Jing hates me so much that she has to wait until tomorrow. There may be nothing left.”

Thinking about Lu Hongjun's attitude, Lu Jiaguang also felt that it would be better sooner rather than later: "I'll go back and see if I can borrow a car. If I can borrow a car, I'll send my things over in the afternoon."

Lu Jiajie said with a smile: "Brother, I took a day off, leave this to me!"

He is just an ordinary employee in the shoe factory. Unlike Lu Jiaguang, who has many things to do as a leader, it is easy to ask for leave. Of course, the main reason is that the shoe factory has little future, so it is passive and slow in work.

 “Eldest brother, fifth brother, thank you.”

Lu Jiaguang felt a little sad when he heard this: "Silly girl, why are you so grateful? I am your brother, so I should take care of you.

Lu Jiajie patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say this again in the future. Saying thank you to a family is too disrespectful."

The two brothers wanted to help her move her things and left quickly. Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao stayed behind to clean up.
