Chapter 722 Lu Hongjun Extra
Lu Hongjun woke up at dawn. He had a shallow sleep due to his age, so he got up without feeling sleepy when he woke up. After washing up and drinking half a cup of warm water, Dali sent him to the park to practice Tai Chi. After he recovered from his illness and was able to take care of himself, he wanted to quit Dali and stay as a nanny. Unexpectedly, neither Iemitsu nor Yamako agreed. In addition, Dali Niang knelt in front of him and begged him to continue using Dali, so he stayed.
Dali suffered a brain injury when he was twelve years old, and his brain was not very bright after that. He is a tall and powerful person, but because of his poor brain, he is always bullied when he goes out to work, and he is still owed wages when he goes to work on a construction site. However, he can do everything he is asked to do, and he wakes up when asked at night, unlike some men who fall asleep like dead pigs. This is why Lu Hongjun hired him when he was paralyzed.
Not only is it not tiring to follow Lu Hongjun, the wages are paid back in full, and he is never in arrears. This is why Dali Niang wants him to keep doing it. Lu Jiaguang was worried that he lived alone and it would be dangerous if no one found out if he fell. The family is not short of money, so they do not support the expulsion of Dali.
When Lu Hongjun arrived at the park, the group of people practicing Tai Chi were basically there. After being warned, Dali sat beside him and watched over him without leaving.
An hour later, Lu Hongjun sat down and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. An old lady in red clothes sat next to him and said with a smile: "Lao Lu, I have something happy to tell you."
Lu Hongjun was rich in experience and said as soon as he heard it: "If it's just about introducing my wife, forget it. I'm not in good health, so I won't be a burden to others."
He was paralyzed and stayed in bed for more than a year before he recovered. Now the body can be maintained almost as well as that of people of the same age, but that is the result of spending a lot of money to maintain it. Even now, I still take supplements every day!
Old Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "It's not about being involved or not. My old sister has lived alone for so many years, and now she wants to find a companion, so she has someone to talk to. Many people gave her a favor before. She didn’t even take a look at the introduction, but she fell in love with you at first sight, which is also fate.”
Lu Hongjun has rich experience in blind dates. He did not ask the other party's conditions, but simply said: "Both my daughter and grandson do not agree with me looking for him again."
When Mrs. Meng heard this, she immediately said: "Lao Lu, we elderly people also have the right to pursue happiness."
Lu Hongjun agreed with this and said: "You are right, we elderly people also have the right to pursue happiness. It's just that the house I live in now was bought by my daughter and it is in her name; my living expenses and My daughter will pay for the aunt’s visit, and my daughter will also bear my medical expenses.”
After saying this, he looked at Old Mrs. Meng and said, "If I find a wife regardless of her wishes, she will ignore me in anger. Can your old sister control my food, drink, and pay for my medical expenses?"
Old Mrs. Meng looked at her for a moment, and then said: "It is natural for children to be filial to their parents. If I don't care about you, we will go to the people on the street to make the decision."
Lu Hongjun looked at her and said: "She will take care of me, but she will only give me basic living expenses. But the monthly living expenses are barely enough to buy medicine and food. I can't afford anyone to take care of me and I can't afford supplements. A big house can't afford it." No more living.”
Old Mrs. Meng felt that she had gone astray: "Your daughter scared you, but you really believed it."
Lu Hongjun asked: "What if my daughter didn't scare me, but actually let me go? Will you be responsible then?"
How dare Mrs. Meng take such a responsibility, but she also changed her mind and advised: "If your daughter is really filial, she should agree to you finding a wife. It is inevitable to be lonely as you get older, and if you find a wife, you will have someone to talk to."
Lu Hongjun said that he is not lonely at all: "My aunt washes, cooks and cleans me every day. The dishes she cooks are different every week. She takes great care of me and sleeps in the same room with me at night. If something happens, she will send me to the hospital immediately." . The house is not deserted either. My nephew and grandnephew visit me every day to talk to me, and my grandson and great-grandson also come to stay with me on weekends.”
After speaking, he said sincerely: "Comrade Lao Meng, I am living a very comfortable life now and I really don't need to find a wife."
"Comrade Lao Meng, I won't hide it from you. The two women I married later were not good enough. The second one I married almost killed my daughter, and my daughter almost severed ties with me because of this; the third one almost sent me to death. Even though I luckily came out, I was still paralyzed in bed for more than a year. My daughter and nephews strongly opposed my search, fearing that my search would disturb the peace of the whole family. I am too old to bear this. It’s a struggle, it’s pretty good now.”
Old Mrs. Meng could see that he wanted to find it himself, but gave up because of the objections of his daughter and nephew. However, at their age, they have to rely on their children to support themselves in old age, and sometimes they have to compromise.
Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't give up. She came here to dance and even took the initiative to talk to Lu Hongjun.
Lu Hongjun realized something was wrong and stopped going to the park the next day. Unexpectedly, the old lady came to her home on the pretext of delivering things.
At this time, Lu Hongjun had no desire to marry again. Seeing that the old lady still didn't give up, she immediately called Lu Jiaxin and said she was going to Shichahai to stay for a while.
Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to live in Shichahai?"
Lu Hongjun said about being targeted: "I will go to Shichahai to live for a while to avoid the limelight."
Lu Jiaxin said: "We haven't done anything shameful, so there's no need to avoid it. Tell your elder brother about this and ask him to find the old lady's children. If you still keep pestering us, don't blame us for being rude."
"Isn't it necessary?"
Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly and said: "Why is it unnecessary? You are already this old and not in good health. It is impossible for her to pursue you so hard. She must have some agenda. Either for the eldest brother, or There is no need to show mercy to such people."
After a pause, she asked suspiciously: "Or do you really want to marry that old lady, but you gave up because of reality."
Lu Hongjun hurriedly expressed that he would not marry again: "Now I just want to take good care of my body and strive to live until Zhaozhao gets married and has children."
"There's no need to force it."
Lu Hongjun knew that he would not hear thoughtful words from Jiaxin, so he was selectively deaf: "Jiaxin, the New Year will be celebrated in a few months, how do you plan to celebrate the New Year?"
Lu Jiaxin knew what he meant and wanted to come to Hong Kong City to celebrate the New Year with them: "I have discussed it with A Zhan and we will travel abroad during the New Year this year."
After Mr. Nie passed away from illness, he made all the trips he made with Nie Zhan and didn't let her go anymore. Her main focus now is on her two children, and most of her work is left to the people below. Thanks to her efforts and persuasion, Nie Zhan paid more attention to the balance between work and rest. As a leader, you just have to grasp the direction of the company's development, and there is no need to do everything yourself.
Lu Hongjun wants to travel abroad with him. But I just thought about it in my mind and didn’t say it out loud. He knew very well that Jiaxin would not pay attention to him if he told her. He knew that Jia Xin had not really forgiven him, but that his filial piety and public opinion had given him a prosperous old age; but it was impossible to be as considerate and filial as other people's daughters. The Chinese New Year is here in a blink of an eye, and the Lu family went on a trip as a family of four as mentioned before. Under Lu Shan's persuasion, Lu Hongjun agreed to go to his home to celebrate the New Year.
As a result, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month passed and he returned to Chaoyang District on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month. It's not the child's problem, it's Damai's mother who can't tolerate him. Not only did the old lady find faults in various ways, but the food she cooked was also not to his taste. The riot on New Year's Eve was not a good look, so Lu Hongjun endured it for a whole day before leaving, which also saved Lu Shan's face. But when he received a call from Lu Jiaxin on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he couldn't help but file a complaint.
The more Lu Hongjun talked about it, the sadder he became, and his voice became choked with sobs: "You gave me the house, and you also gave me the shop. Last year, I not only found fault with him, but I was also treated as a thief."
Lu Jiaxin frowned and asked, "What did Lu Shan say?"
Lu Hongjun said: "He said that Damai Niang has been in a bad mood recently and asked me to understand her. She is in a bad mood, why should I understand her?"
"Then did you scold him?"
Lu Hongjun said nothing.
Lu Jiaxin felt that the older he got, the more useless he became, but Lu Shan didn't dare to scold him for doing such a thing. But we really can't ignore this matter, otherwise who knows whether we will do something more extreme in the future.
The Lushan family also installed a telephone in their home. Lu Jiaxin called and found that the person who answered the phone was Damai. She asked: "Damai, your grandfather said that he would go to your house to celebrate the New Year, but your mother forced him to go back to Chaoyang on the first day of the new year. What did your grandfather do? Your mother looks down on him so much."
Barley is a bit unspeakable.
Lu Jiaxin said: "Da Mai, if you have anything to say, just say it. If your grandfather did something wrong, I will ask him to apologize to your mother."
In other words, if her mother did something wrong, the matter cannot be left alone. Lu Hongjun was indebted to his original self, but he was extremely kind to Lu Shan and Damai. To be exact, he is very kind to everyone in the Lu family.
Damai knew that if this matter was not explained clearly, the relationship would definitely become tense. After a while, she whispered: "Auntie, grandpa watched my mother take a shower, so she didn't want to see grandpa."
Lu Jiaxin was Damai's mother. She didn't believe it at all: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"My mother said it herself."
"Do you believe what your mother said?"
"There's no need for my mother to lie to me."
In other words, without evidence and without a confrontation between the two sides, Damai sentenced Lu Hongjun to death. Lu Jiaxin was not angry and said, "Shan Zi also knows about this?"
"Know."
"He also believed your mother's words."
"yes."
Lu Jiaxin did not question Lu Shan, but directly called Lu Jiaguang and told him about the matter: "Brother, it is true that my father married three wives, but I believe he would not do such a dirty thing. Something. Brother, please investigate this matter and clear the old man’s name.”
In the evening of that day, Lu Jiaguang called Lu Jiaxin and said that the matter was a misunderstanding: "Da Mai's mother misunderstood, and the third uncle just happened to be there that day."
"Then what?"
"Da Mai Niang apologized to Third Uncle."
Lu Jiaxin asked the key question: "Da Mai believes that her mother has nothing to say, why doesn't Shanzi believe in my father?"
Lu Jiaguang sighed and said, "Shan Zi feels that his mother-in-law is honest and will not lie to others about such things."
Lu Jiaxin said "Oh" and hung up the phone. She didn't scold Damai and Shanzi. There was no need.
This incident made Lu Hongjun know that the only one he could really count on in his later years was Lu Jiaxin, and that Lu Shan and his wife were completely unreliable. After he figured it out, his attitude towards Lu Shan and Damai became colder, and he often called the port city to ask the housekeeper about Lu Zhao and Nie Xin. What he looks forward to most after that is the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Chinese New Year, which means he can see his two cute and smart granddaughters.
When Zhao Zhao was eight years old, Lu Hongjun had a gallbladder operation. This was considered a minor operation, but when he was lying on the hospital bed, he especially wished that Jiaxin could bring his two granddaughters to visit him. Unfortunately, the mother and daughter did not show up until they were discharged from the hospital.
Lu Jiaguang said: "Third uncle, Jiaxin has a big project in hand and cannot leave. I have already discussed it with Jiaxin and will pick you up to live with me after you are discharged from the hospital."
Lu Hongjun actually wanted to go to Hong Kong City, but he knew it was impossible. Jia Xin would not agree. What happened back then has never passed with her. He has been regretting it all these years, but there is no regret medicine in this world.
