Chapter 48 Don’t bother with money
“Dad, why are you still going to work.”
Back home, Lu Liang saw his father coming back from outside on a motorcycle and wearing work clothes.
Lu Liang's father worked in a grinding tool factory, and Lu Liang was deeply impressed. Ever since he was a child, he had a greasy head and dirty face every time he got off work, and sometimes he had to work night shifts.
"Recently there are a batch of urgent orders in the factory. I will resign from my boss when I am done."
The father smiled, pushed the motorcycle into the yard, picked up the water pipe on the ground to rinse his head, and washed his face with soap.
He has stayed in this factory for more than 20 years. The boss has always treated him well, and he still has to finish things from beginning to end.
"It's better for you two. One goes to work and the other goes out. I don't know how many people came to the house today."
The mother held the vegetable basket. Although she was complaining, the corner of her mouth Going up, or betraying inner joy.
Today, the sentence she heard most often was "Your son is really capable." This sentence is probably what a parent would like to hear the most.
"When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives." My father suddenly sighed.
Although he was not at home, he also received many calls from relatives who were beyond reach.
Lu Liang was surprised that his father had such an awareness. It would be more difficult for relatives and friends who want to borrow money from them in the future.
"Mom, stop cooking, go out to eat tonight, and then show you around."
Lu Liang hasn't gone out with his parents in many years, and they haven't sat down either his car.
My mother was moved, but thought the meal was already cooked: "Let's wait until next time."
"When Dad celebrates his birthday, I will go back to Shanghai, and I won't have much time in the future."
>
Lu Liang persuaded him again and again, and his father made a final decision: "Let's save it for cooking porridge tomorrow."
My parents went back to the house, took a shower and changed clothes, and also put on new clothes that they rarely wear on weekdays. .
Lu Liang suddenly felt sad. He had seen that piece of clothing before and bought it two years ago when he got married.
It's very new, as if it has never been worn, but after being stored for a long time, the white collar is still a little yellowed.
When they entered the car, the two of them were very careful and sat upright, for fear of touching any buttons and damaging the car.
"Dad, you better drive, just drive as you please. You are an experienced driver, don't you still have confidence?"
Lu Liang let his father drive, and he followed his mother into the back seat. She introduced the functions inside the car.
“This is the adjustment button of the air conditioner, this is the refrigerator, and there is Internet in the car, so you can watch TV and movies...”
Lu Liang instilled in his parents the idea that a car is an external possession, and it is not that hard to build. Even if it breaks down, it can still be repaired.
The family of three went to the city, had dinner at a restaurant that looked pretty good, and then went straight to the largest shopping mall in the city.
Lu Liang bought several sets of clothes for each of his parents, a watch for his father, a gold bracelet for his mother, and finally two Apple phones.
Although the signal of Apple mobile phones is poor, they are more friendly to the elderly. Unlike Android phones, you may open a certain web page and automatically download a bunch of software.
More than 100,000 yuan was spent in more than two hours. The most expensive items were watches and bracelets, but this money was definitely the most valuable money Lu Liang had ever spent in his life.
On the way back, Dad was still driving. He was now more comfortable and not as restrained as before.
There is a fork ahead, and to the left is Luhe Village. Lu Liang suddenly said: "Dad, let's go to Jinyayuan."
There are no large-scale communities in rural areas, and most of them are developers. Build several buildings and name them after gardens or gardens.
The house Lu Liang bought
is on the fifth floor of Building B in Jinya Garden.
When they heard that Lu Liang had gone out and bought a suite, his parents were stunned.
"Don't you have a lot of spare money and no place to spend it?" My mother scolded her with a straight face.
“It’s not expensive anyway.”
Lu Liang smiled and led the two of them upstairs: “Besides, the new house may not be built within a year. , will you let me stay in a hotel next time I come back?"
My father is more tolerant and very reasonable: "Just buy the house, it is better than spending money randomly."
< br>
He couldn't help but look down at his wrist. He was wearing an ordinary metal watch worth 48,000 yuan.
If they hadn't stopped him, Lu Liang would have bought the watch worth 580,000 yuan as a birthday gift for him.
“My dad still has the vision. People in Magic City are speculating in real estate. Now it’s more than five thousand, and in a few years it may be tens of thousands.”
“You can talk about Magic City. Can our small place compare with big cities? "
My mother sighed and stopped talking. After all, buying everything is better than spending money randomly.
A large three-bedroom apartment with an area of 120 square meters,
the ceiling and walls were simply made.
There was only one table and a few chairs in the room, and there were some leftovers from Lu Liang’s lunch on the table. Mom's muscle memory was suddenly awakened, she picked up the broom and started cleaning.
Dad and Lu Liang were driven to the balcony.
Dad suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about what you plan to do in the future?"
"What are your plans?" Lu Liang asked.
“We don’t understand your work, and we can’t help you. What we can do is not to cause trouble to you, and we don’t let people at home cause trouble to you. But as for your family, you are not young either. "
Lu Jiancheng smoked cigarettes, still smoking soft white sand. He was not used to smoking soft white sand. He always felt that the cigarette was boring.
The couple almost stayed up all night last night. They reached an agreement on Lu Liang’s career issues and would not cause any trouble.
But family has become a concern for them, and they are no longer young now. Lu Liangfa's younger children are almost in elementary school.
"Just let it happen. You can't force this kind of thing."
Hearing what Lu Liang said, Lu Jiancheng felt guilty and did not try to persuade him again.
Back then, Lu Lianghui married Lin Wenjing. In fact, he and the couple had been forced to get married and couldn't get rid of the relationship.
Traveling back and forth from place to place again and again for blind dates, I must have gotten tired in the end, so I found someone and almost got married.
Facts have proved that strong melons are not sweet.
“Dad, if I don’t want to get married, even if you put a knife to my neck, you still won’t get married.”
Lu Liang smiled, with a relaxed and happy face, those are all In the past, just treat it as an investment failure, no big deal.
Early the next morning, Lu Liang took a copy of his father's driver's license and went to the Volvo store in the city.
I spent 439,000 to buy an XC60, which is said to have the highest safety factor on the surface, as a birthday present for my father.
After taking the receipt home, my mother was about to scold her when Lu Liang gave a well-founded reason.
The two places are more than 500 kilometers apart, and it takes at least six hours of driving to come back every time.
If the family has a car, he can take the high-speed rail next time and have nothing to do. Dad can also take his mother to play around.
Mom was convinced,
Dad had no reason to refuse.
A man is a boy until he dies, and he has no resistance to cars.
Lu Liang discovered last night that his father had been caressing the steering wheel affectionately.
That look was like Lu Liang looking at Li Manli, who was wearing dead clothes, and he couldn't bear to look away for a moment.
Wednesday is Lu Jiancheng’s 55th birthday.
Lu Liang booked a small box in Zhenhai Tower, and then acted as a pick-up driver. He first sent his parents and grandparents to the restaurant, and finally went to town to pick up his brother-in-law and his family.
Lu Ya's consideration was not unreasonable. Her grandparents were still alive and her father was not too old, so it would be enough to just get together.
My parents and grandparents were chatting, the two nephews were walking around the table, Lu Liang, Lu Ya and Luo Haitong were chatting.
"Look at how it is going to be built and how many floors it is going to be built on?"
In the past few days, Lu Ya has not been idle either. She visited several professional construction companies and got a few template drawings. .
Although their old house is dilapidated, it still covers a large area, totaling 255 square meters including the courtyard.
Lu Liang spotted a small three-and-a-half-story Western-style building with a front yard at a glance: "Let's build it according to this style."
Reserve 85 square meters as the front yard, with lawn on the left and stone slabs on the right. On the ground, behind is the main building.
The lawn can be used to grow fruits and vegetables, and the flagstone can be used for parking or drying quilts.
Lu Ya smiled and said, "I think you will also like this. The cost of this house is 900 per square meter."
Building a house is not expensive, but decoration is expensive.
With a construction area of 170 square meters and three and a half floors, the construction cost is only over 530,000 yuan, but there is no upper limit for decoration.
You can spend tens of thousands of yuan to build it into a Syrian style, or you can spend hundreds or tens of millions to build a royal palace.
After transferring 500,000 to Lu Ya first, Lu Liang sent another cigarette to Luo Haitong: "Brother-in-law, I still have work to do in Shanghai, so I can only trouble my sister with this matter. "
Luo Haitong is an honest man. He said with a simple and honest smile: "One family does not talk about two families."
Everyone enjoyed this birthday banquet.
Because there is a person who is rich, willing to spend money, and doesn’t care about it.
As long as there is one person like this in a family, the atmosphere will be harmonious.
