Xiao Qiu went back with a basket of vegetables and met an old lady coming back from outside at the entrance of the alley. "Hey, I bought so many vegetables today. Is there any happy event?"
Live here After living for so long, I have become familiar with the people in the alley. Those people in the hutong who are in short supply of housing are always envious of them, envious that they have such good relatives. Of course, there were also many people who made sarcastic remarks, but it was a pity that neither Mrs. Lu Ersao nor Xiao Qiu paid attention to them.
"My sister-in-law is back."
The aunt was so surprised that she said the same thing as Mrs. Lu, "Is the college entrance examination going to be in July? There is still more than a month left. Why did you come back last year?" I was prevented from going to college by that vicious mother and daughter, and now I have to study hard to get into a good college, so I won’t make a fuss about it.”
Xiao Qiu said with a smile, “No, my sister-in-law. The exam is over. The exam in Hong Kong City is different from ours. They finished the exam a few days ago." At this time, the fat aunt saw her: "Xiao Qiu, your sister-in-law just bought a candle. She should be going to pay homage to your third uncle."
"By the way, your sister-in-law is so rich now that she even called a taxi to visit her grave. Your sister-in-law's aunt was very kind to her. "Why don't I have any relatives like this?"
Not only was the fat aunt jealous with envy, there were countless people in this alley who envied Lu Jiaxin.
Xiaoqiu didn't want to talk anymore and said, "My sister-in-law likes to drink chicken soup. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back and kill the chickens to make soup for her."
It's past three o'clock. Second sister-in-law Zhong Lu came back, but she didn't see Lu Jiaxin when she got home. "Where has your sister-in-law been?"
Xiao Qiu said, "I heard from fat aunt that after my sister-in-law came back, she went to buy incense and candles and sacrifices. They should be for the third uncle." I went to the grave. I heard from the fat aunt that my sister-in-law called a taxi."
Taxis are very expensive nowadays. It costs dozens of dollars to go from Sijiucheng to the airport, and most people can't afford it.
Sister-in-law Lu’s face changed slightly, and she said anxiously, “I can’t even take the college entrance examination, so I must be being bullied. No, I have to call your uncle.”
Xiao Qiu He grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, don't worry. I just called my uncle. She said that the college entrance examination in Hong Kong City was earlier than ours and was completed five days ago."
Secret Sister-in-law Lu immediately transferred Worry turned into joy: "So your sister-in-law passed the exam."
"What"
Secret Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile, "Silly girl, your sister-in-law must have done well in the exam, so come back quickly and give me Your third uncle has announced the news. Come, let’s cook quickly and invite your uncle and others to come over for dinner. Let’s celebrate your sister-in-law.”
“Mom, the results haven’t come out yet.”
Sister-in-law Lu patted her on the head and scolded her with a smile, "You have gone to school yourself, so you don't know whether you did well or not. Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly."
Mother The two women were busy in the kitchen.
Lu Jiaxin returned to Sijiucheng from the cemetery and asked the driver to take her to Shichahai. Because Gu Xiuxiu's request was to restore it to its original appearance, the amount of work was huge and it has not been completed yet.
The large courtyard with five entrances, frontThe third step has been completed and the fourth step is now being done. The foreman said that including the back garden, there are still three months to complete.
Gu Xiuxiu left the big house to He Bin, so she had no control over the expenses. She thought that after the completion of such a beautiful house, it would be left to dissipate for a year, and then her aunt could come and live there for a while when the flowers bloomed in spring.
Not to mention the 30 million yuan and the house given, this big house alone will be worth 12 billion yuan in the future, and it is still priceless.
Gu Wenfeng looked at the large pillars with carved beams and painted beams, and asked curiously, "Who lived here in such a luxurious and luxurious house before?"
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, "This house It belonged to a prince from the previous dynasty. My aunt spent 88,000 yuan on it when she bought it, and she only got it because of the green coins she used.”
After following Lu Jiaxin around, Gu Wenfeng was the only one. It felt like there were too many rooms. "With so many rooms, he slept in turns, and it would take him three or four months to sleep through them all."
Lu Jiaxin laughed loudly, "In the old feudal society, rich men had three wives." There are at least a dozen concubines like the prince. They also have children. You think this house is very big, but because there are so many people to serve, there are only three or four maids. It's very crowded to sleep in a room."
Gu Wenfeng said sincerely, "Fortunately, we are in a new society. In that era, there was no way for a poor person like us to get ahead. ”
Lu Jiaxin also thinks that the new society is good. In feudal society, women followed their fathers when they married and their husbands, and their sons after their husbands died. They had no status at all. Although there are many restrictions now, as long as you dare to fight and fight, you can still succeed. Make a career out of it.
The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the gate, they found that the taxi was still there. The taxi driver stepped forward and said proactively, "This trip is enough for you today. After I take you back, I will call it a day and go home."
The chartered taxi costs sixty green coins, plus two more Ten green coins, converted into more than 160 Chinese dollars. He didn't want to solicit any more customers and wanted to go home early.
"Ten yuan"
"Okay, okay."
There are very few vehicles in the mainland now, so you can quickly reach Guangming Hutong by taxi. As soon as Lu Jiaxin entered the alley, she was surrounded by enthusiastic eldest ladies, who asked her if she had really completed the college entrance examination.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t like such enthusiasm, but she still answered their questions in a good voice.
Gu Wenfeng knew Lu Jiaxin’s temperament, so he stepped forward and pushed everyone away, protecting Lu Jiaxin from entering the house. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Gu Wenfeng immediately closed the door.
As soon as Xiaoqiu saw Lu Jiaxin, she happily rushed forward and wanted to hug her.
Lu Jiaxin smelled a fishy smell on her body, took two steps back and said, "I killed a fish."
Xiao Qiu nodded and said, "Well, I just killed a fish. Sister-in-law "Don't you like steamed fish? I'll cook it for you later."
Lu Jiaxin felt warm.
Xiaoqiu thought about her visit to the grave and said, "Sister-in-law, there is chicken stewed in the kitchen for three times."For more than an hour, if you are hungry, eat a bowl to satisfy your stomach. Don't worry, the oil has been skimmed off and it's guaranteed not to be greasy.
Lu Jiaxin felt that this girl was getting cuter and cuter. She walked for a long time today and only ate a little at noon. Now she was really hungry. She smiled and said, "Then you scoop me a bowl." . ”
“Okay.
Lu Jiaxin hurriedly stopped her and said, "You'd better go to the bathroom and wash your hands with soap to get rid of the fishy smell on your hands." ”
Xiao Qiu felt that her sister-in-law was as clean as ever. When she went to wash her hands, Mrs. Lu brought the chicken soup out of the kitchen.
Lu Jiaxin thought Xiao Qiu was the only one in the house. Alone, she greeted people immediately when she saw them.
Sister-in-law Lu put the chicken soup on the table and felt heartbroken when she saw Lu Jiaxin, "I'm sorry, why have you lost so much weight? Is it because you can't get used to the food there." "
Lu Jiaxin touched her face. It was strange to say that she ate bird's nest, fish maw and other tonics every night. After the exam, she actually lost five pounds after weighing herself. She didn't know where to eat. Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
