Chapter 87: Heirloom
Except for Chen Danying, a few people were originally in a good mood, because everyone was not in a good mood during the meal, after dinner, Lu Xi sent Chen Danying and the three of them back to school, before getting off the car, Zhao Xiaoju and Wang Pingping whispered a few words, Zhao Xiaoju said to Chen Danying: "Yingying, let's go back first, if someone goes to bed at night, we will help you deal with it." ”
Chen Danying's face suddenly turned red, watching the two get out of the car and walk into the dormitory building, turned his head to look at Lu Xi, and saw the people coming and going in front of the dormitory, so he asked him to drive the car to a quiet place in the gymnasium.
When Lu Xi parked the car in the open space behind the gymnasium and didn't see anyone walking around, Chen Danying whispered quietly: "I'm really annoyed to death recently, I really regret taking him to Lutang." ”
Lu Xi stretched out his hand and took Chen Danying's little hand, and said: "Don't think too much, you are going to take the TOEFL test recently, I know that you have almost a perfect score in English in the college entrance examination, if you haven't lost too much this year, sign up for a class for a while, the problem should not be too big." ”
Chen Danying's grades are better than him, but Lu Xi is not worried, he is only afraid that his uncle and aunt will not agree. My uncle is the deputy mayor of Lutang Town, but he is a deputy section-level cadre, although he is now also the general manager of Lutang Tourism Development Company, his income is not much higher than before, his aunt is a doctor in the town health center, and the total monthly income of the two is at most three or four thousand yuan, although the income is not much, but both of them have experienced poverty, and they are not stingy with their daughters, and they can give as much as they can.
However, Lu Xi also knows that for so many years, no matter how difficult it is, his uncle and aunt have never opened their mouths to borrow money, and their uncles can ask for loans and shares for their work, but they have never asked anyone for difficulties in personal and family affairs, Chen Danying wants to go abroad, they can't come up with money, and they are afraid that they will not accept him to bear all the expenses.
Chen Danying didn't want to take a year off from school because of this matter, and the best way to get rid of the gossip at the moment was to change the environment, but thinking that her parents should not agree, she asked worriedly: "What do my parents say?" ”
After a slight silence, Lu Xi said: "Let's go back to Lutang now, discuss with my aunt and uncle, and I will try my best to convince them that they should know how much they are affected by gossip." ”
Chen Danying didn't know what to say to her parents, so she pursed her lips and said: "Forget it, there will be a holiday in two months, and the holiday may be forgotten after the holiday." ”
Lu Xi sighed lightly: "They can forget, can you forget?" ”
Chen Danying was silent and stopped talking, Lu Xi thought about what to say in the past, so he started the car and went straight to Lu Tang.
In a quiet town on weekdays, there are still many pedestrians at nine o'clock at night, Lu Xi woke up Chen Danying, who was asleep on the road, and asked, "My mother agreed, my aunt should also know, right?" ”
Chen Danying nodded with a red face, and said, "My mother should be asleep at this point, why don't you talk about it early tomorrow morning?" ”
Tomorrow I will catch a plane to San Francisco, Lu Xi plans to return to Xingang immediately after speaking, handed over the mobile phone and said, "You call home first and call them up." ”
Chen Danying hesitated for a while, took the phone and called back, put down the phone and said: "My mother and my dad haven't slept yet, and the song and dance drama has just ended tonight for the first time in the town." ”
Songcheng has "Songcheng Eternal Love", Chen Jiakang adopted Lu Xi's suggestion to go to Songcheng to investigate, and invited several professors and well-known directors from Jianye University to write the script, and named the historical song and dance drama of Lutang "Impression of Lutang", although it is not as magnificent as the eternal love of Songcheng, but the whole song and dance drama revolves around the water town, and for the small town of Lutang, the word impression can also reflect the strong taste of the water town.
Lu Xi didn't know if his father, who was one of the shareholders of Lutang Tourism Development Company, would be invited, and asked with a smile: "Are my parents coming?" ”
Chen Danying shook her head and said, "My mother didn't say, let's go back." ”
The car couldn't drive into the bluestone path, so the two got out of the car and walked to the door of their aunt's house, and saw the little sister standing at the door, as if waiting for them.
Seeing the two of them coming, the little sister asked playfully, "Sister Baozi, is this taking your brother-in-law back to her parents' house?" My brother-in-law is so handsome! ”
Chen Danying was not in a high mood, her face was red, Lu Xi smiled and rubbed the top of the little sister's head, puffed out her mouth and pushed it away, she stretched out her hand to stop the door and didn't let the two of them in, and said, "I've changed my mind, you want to give me a red envelope!" ”
The little girl knew that Chen Danying was a student with no money, and her brother could make money by working.
Lu Xi didn't tell her little sister to joke anymore, so that her eyes told her to look at Chen Danying, who was not in a high mood.
The little sister glanced twice, and saw that she was unhappy, so she moved out of the door and took Chen Danying's arm and followed behind.
Walking into the courtyard, Lu Xi turned around and asked, "Are your parents also there?" When will you go back to Lucheng? ”
Xiaomei complained: "If it weren't for Sister Baozi calling back, we would have gone back, and we would have to go to class tomorrow." ”
Xiaomei's application to go to high school in Redwood Tree has passed, but she still has to finish junior high school in China and get her graduation certificate, but without the pressure of the high school entrance examination, she is much easier than other students.
Lu Xi answered the call and pushed the door in first, and saw his parents and aunts sitting in the living room chatting, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you notify me of the first performance, why should I be a planner." ”
Chen Jiakang laughed, asked him to sit down, and said, "Your mother said that you are a busy person, and we can't bother you." ”
Several people in the room laughed a few times, Xu Youzhen saw Chen Danying, who was following behind, with unhappiness written on her face, glanced at Lu Xi twice, and asked, "Why did you come back at this time?" Did you bully Yingying? ”
Lu Xi glanced up at Chen Danying innocently, pulled her to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "There are some things I want to discuss with you, but it's not a big deal." ”
Qian Fang smiled and said, "Are you making an awkward fuss?" It must be Yingying clamoring to go home, right? ”
Lu Xi shook his head and smiled, and told him what happened and his thoughts about sending Chen Danying to study abroad.
When he was halfway through his words, he saw his aunt and uncle's smiling faces sank, Lu Xi knew that the two were unhappy, but he couldn't help but say, so he continued: "You don't have to worry about Yingying not going out, as long as you pass the TOEFL, you can go out by finding an intermediary as an exchange student, and after you go out, you can apply for a transfer school, take enough credits, and you can become an official international student in your junior year. ”
Seeing that his uncle and aunt shook their heads, Lu Xi continued: "You don't have to worry about the cost, in fact, there is something I haven't told you. ”
After speaking, Lu Xi glanced at his parents next to him again, and said: "I wrote the software of Weixin, and I also ran the green bamboo company, although the legal person is not me, but I am a major shareholder, and now I own more than sixty percent of the shares, and some time ago, someone wanted sixty million to buy thirty percent of the shares in the hands of another shareholder, and I can barely count myself as a billionaire now." ”
Lu Xi said: "Although the domestic company has not generated any profits now, but the overseas companies have made profits, tomorrow I will go abroad to negotiate things, no worries, the next half a year can create a lot of wealth that many people can not get in a lifetime, this thing Yingying also knows." ”
Looking at the surprised expressions of everyone in the room except Chen Danying, Lu Xi turned his face sideways and said to his parents: "I didn't tell you before, and I don't want you to worry about it." ”
Xu Youzhen hadn't reacted from surprise at this time, Lu Quanzhong frowned first and asked, "Where did you get the money to set up the company, is it the money from Mr. Yao of Ruifeng Electric?" ”
Lu Xi shook his head and smiled: "I wrote a piece of software abroad and sold it for 220,000 US dollars, and after I came back, a small part of it was taken to open a company, and some of it was ready to run an Internet café, but my luck was not too good, and the Internet café was burned down by a fire before it opened, and more than one million yuan was burned in, which was the fire in the development zone in October last year." ”
Chen Jiakang and Qian Fang both looked at Lu Xi in a daze, like looking at a monster.
Lu Quanzhong didn't think it was too surprising, judging from the fact that he went into the water to save people and walked away without leaving his name, it was natural to think that he had such an achievement, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Xu Youzhen relieved herself from her surprise, glanced at Chen Danying, and when she saw her nodding, she went over to twist Lu Xi's thigh, and said, "If you kid dare to lie to me again, I won't recognize you as a son." ”
Lu Xi begged for mercy in pain, Lu Quanzhong pulled his wife over, and said after a slight silence: "Lao Chen, I think this matter is settled, the children are all older now, and they all have their own ideas, you don't want to say that I worship foreign countries, foreign countries are indeed better than domestic in terms of education, you see this kid went out and mixed up for two years and came back, and he made such a big move without making a sound, which is really much better than our two old guys." It's also a good thing for Yingying to take this opportunity to go out, go out as an exchange student, and the cost is borne by this kid, which is also a matter between their two children, and the little sister will also go out in the autumn to find a university in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Yingying can also take care of it by the way. ”
Chen Jiakang and Qian Fang were silent and did not say anything, Lu Xi then said a few words, and pulled Chen Danying again, she bit her lip and said, "Parents, I ......"
Qian Fang, who had been silent, interrupted her daughter's words and said, "Since you have thought about it, your father and I won't say anything, but the cost of the past few years, your father and I will find a way." After speaking, he pulled Chen Jiakang and turned upstairs, not knowing what to discuss.
Seeing the two of them going upstairs, Xu Youzhen was distressed that the more than one million burned by the fire came over to ask again, Lu Quanzhong answered and asked, "Do you know that someone deliberately set the fire?" ”
Lu Xi was stunned, he hadn't paid attention to it since the fire, and the landlord didn't contact him again, and said with a smile: "Someone deliberately set the fire?" Can I go and ask for compensation? ”
Lu Quanzhong shook his head and smiled, and said: "I only found that someone set the fire, but the murderer has not been found, and the families who burned the house have no enemies, and they were all published in the newspapers last year." ”
Lu Xi was stunned and didn't answer, when he saw his aunt and uncle-in-law coming down from upstairs, and his aunt was still holding an old-looking lacquer box in her arms.
Chen Jiakang went downstairs and went out to close the door, Qian Fang put the lacquer box on the table, waited for her husband to come back before opening it, and said: "This is an heirloom handed down by our ancestors, and this sale should be enough for Yingying to go out to study." ”
Chen Jiakang and Qian Fang have no opinions on Lu Xi and Chen Danying's love, but both of them know that the success rate of men and women in love is very low now, and they are afraid that the two will not be able to go together in the end.
