MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property-Chapter 15 want something

Chapter 15 Wanting Something

Lu Jiaxin bought Xue Mao three sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, all dark and stain-resistant, and both pairs of shoes were Jiefang shoes.

It’s not that he didn’t want to pick something good-looking for him, but Xue Mao didn’t want to and said he wouldn’t wear it even if he bought it. The reason is that he works every day and no matter how nice-looking clothes he wears, they get dirty quickly, which is a waste of money.

 Lu Jiaxin did not wrong herself. She walked from the street to the end of the street and matched six sets of clothes. Three dresses, three sets of clothes, and shoes and socks. After buying clothes, Lu Jiaxin asked Xue Mao to go back first while she went to the department store herself. Fortunately, Lu Hongjun went to work today.

  Entering the office, Lu Jiaxin handed him the shopping list she had written long ago: "These are the things I need for my new house. You will see when you have bought them all for me."

Lu Hongjun took the shopping list, glanced at it, and put it down. He said calmly: "I deposited four thousand yuan into your bankbook yesterday afternoon. I only have more than three hundred yuan left at home now, and I have no money to give." You buy these things.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "Six thousand yuan in savings at home? Dad, do you really think I'm a fool?"

“Just the three sets of finely crafted gold jewelry named Ding are worth several thousand dollars. Ten thousand yuan may be just a fraction to you.”

　　She didn’t believe a word that the price included a deposit of only a few thousand yuan. After working in a department store for more than 20 years, and as a general manager for more than ten years, I can build a strong fortune even if I am not greedy.

Lu Hongjun's face changed: "Jiaxin, don't talk nonsense. Your Aunt Ding only has one gold ring. Where did you get three sets of gold jewelry?"

Lu Jiaxin said oh and said casually: "You don't know she has three sets of gold jewelry. They may have been left by her previous man."

You only have a gold ring, who can you coax? If she doesn't care about his status and wants to live a good life, why would a beautiful woman marry an old man like him?

When Lu Hongjun and Ding Jing got married, they only had a few sets of old clothes. So this gold jewelry could only be purchased after marrying him, but the question is, where did she get the money?

Lu Jiaxin looked at his expression and knew that Ding Jing was collecting benefits from others behind his back. She thought this was done with Lu Hongjun's permission, but she didn't expect him to be so bold.

Lu Hongjun quickly calmed down, looked at Lu Jiaxin and said, "I'll buy you a watch and a bicycle, but nothing else."

On this shopping list, in addition to watches and bicycles, there are also washing machines, refrigerators, color TVs, electric fans, sewing machines, tape recorders, etc.

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "How come that mother and daughter can use a refrigerator and a color TV, but my biological daughter has nothing?"

Lu Hongjun held back his anger and said, "Then you have to stay at home. You can use all these."

Lu Jiaxin said unceremoniously: "I want to stay there, or I will have to go down to reunite with my mother soon."

Lu Hongjun said with a headache: "Dad knows that you suffered a lot outside and are resentful, but your Aunt Ding and Siyi both explained to me that it was all a misunderstanding."

Lu Jiaxin didn't talk to him about whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the mother and daughter. Now she just wants something: "Just tell me, will you buy it for me?"

Of course Lu Hongjun refused, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he said yesterday that all his savings were given to Jiaxin. If he buys so many big items in one go, who knows if Liao Xiangmei will take the opportunity to punish him. But he also knows that his daughter's temperament has changed drastically, and if she is not satisfied, she will definitely make trouble again.

After thinking for a while, Lu Hongjun said: "Xinxin, I will buy you a watch and a bicycle first. I will buy a color TV, refrigerator, and washing machine for you next year."

Lu Jiaxin is not easily fooled. She said: "I want to learn English, and a tape recorder is indispensable. I don't know how to use a sewing machine, but Xue Mao can. If I need to alter my clothes in the future, it will be convenient to have this sewing machine at home."

 Actually, it’s not Xue Mao who knows how to use a sewing machine, it’s her. In her previous life, her family was in the clothing business, so as a fashion designer in college, she went to Huadu to study for three years after her undergraduate degree. In order to accumulate work experience, she stayed in a large factory to work, and returned to China after three years to develop her career. She originally wanted to go back to work in her own company, but her father remarried and gave birth to a son, and her grandparents were as wary of her as they were of thieves. She found it boring, so she went to work in Pengcheng. She wanted to sell clothes when she was in the ancient capital, but unfortunately she had no capital, so she had to set up a small stall to support herself and Xue Mao. Now that I have the capital and connections, I will definitely go back to my old job.

Lu Hongjun thought that she was weak in English and mathematics, and now that she was willing to take the initiative to strengthen this subject, he would not refuse: "I will buy you a tape recorder later, and a sewing machine in a few days."

“Where are the bicycles and watches? It’s so hot now, I can’t sleep without an electric fan.”

Lu Hongjun had a headache and said, "Okay, the electric fan will be sent to you together with the bicycle in two days. That's all for now, no more."

Lu Jiaxin knew that it was impossible to get everything done in one step and wait until these things were bought before asking for them. Just like Fifth Brother said, she didn't want to take advantage of the snake and scorpion mother and daughter.

Lu Hongjun talked about re-study: "I have contacted you about the school, and classes will begin next Monday."

Lu Jiaxin did not say that she would not repeat the reading. She knew that not only Lu Hongjun but also Lu Jiaguang would not agree, so she used the dragging technique: "Yesterday I went to the toilet with Xue Mao. After doing it for a while, I felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, so I went back to the house and lay down. Dad. , my injury may have sequelae."

Hearing this, Lu Hongjun couldn't sit still: "You kid, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? Hurry up and follow me to the hospital for a check-up."

 Looking at his anxious and angry look, Lu Jiaxin sighed to herself, Lu Hongjun loved his original body. It's just that this love is not worth the happy life in the arms of a beautiful woman.

 At the hospital, Lu Hongjun took her for a full body examination.

The doctor looked at the examination results and said: "There are no sequelae from the head injury, and the wound is healing well. However, he is severely anemic and needs to supplement his nutrition."

Lu Jiaxin said quickly: "Doctor, no matter whether I am working or reading, I feel very tired after just a while."

The doctor said that this was caused by insufficient Qi and blood, and warned: "Go back and replenish your nutrition, and rest more so as not to be affected."

 Lu Jiaxin was secretly happy, this was really a pillow for her sleepiness.

Lu Hongjun's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Doctor, this shouldn't affect your studies, right?"

Lu Jiaxin quickly added, “I failed the exam this year, and my dad wants me to repeat the exam next year.”

“Doctor, I failed the college entrance examination this year, and my dad wants me to repeat the exam. But I feel tight in the chest and short of breath after working for a while. Can I bear the stress if I go to repeat the exam?”

The doctor knows the importance of the college entrance examination to a person. It is impossible for him to say that he should take good health first and then repeat the exam. He cannot bear this responsibility. He gently reminded: "If you want to be in good health, you must not only supplement your nutrition, but also have a good rest."

Lu Jiaxin was particularly grateful to the doctor. She immediately asked Lu Hongjun a question: "Dad, do you think academics is more important, or my health?"

Lu Hongjun said without thinking: "The body is the capital of the revolution. If the body is broken, it is empty talk. Xinxin, let's take good care of the body first, and we will talk about the rest later."

Lu Jiaxin was quite satisfied with this answer.
