Confession letter to classmate Jiang

Chapter 132 Long time no see
During the meal, little friend Lu Yan was stunned by the dishes on the table, and asked naively, "Is it Chinese New Year today?"

Lu Yu stood at the dining table, distributed bowls and chopsticks to his family, and tapped his forehead with the chopsticks: "Today is my mother's birthday, did you tell her happy birthday?"

Lu Yan immediately turned her head to show Xia Zhu a cute smile, her mouth was as sweet as honey: "Mom, happy birthday, I wish you young and beautiful forever."

"Sit down quickly." Xia Zhu patted his head.

The family ate around the dining table, and the atmosphere was very good.

Most of the dishes on the table were Xia Zhu's favorites, and Lu Guoming kept picking up dishes for her, which made her a little dumbfounded, but she also understood this person's temperament.When she was half full, she asked solemnly, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Lu Guoming took a sip of the white wine, smacked his lips, rested the chopsticks on the mouth of the bowl, brewed for a long time, and said, "I want to ask for your permission."

Xia Zhu nodded: "Say it."

"It's like this. I want to use my family's savings to make an investment."

After Lu Guoming finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became quiet.

Lu Yu had learned about this from Jiang Huaining a long time ago, and acted very calmly.Xia Zhu and the two old people were quite surprised. After a full half minute of silence, Xia Zhu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He didn't immediately reject his request and asked him: "What kind of investment, is it reliable?"

Lu Guoming explained to her: "Bishuitan wants to develop tourism projects. Someone bought the land at the foot of the mountain and plans to build it into a holiday villa. It will develop well in the future and can also drive the tourism economy of Ludian Township and even Lushan County. So far, it has obtained I have got the approval from the government, and all the formalities have been completed, and I am waiting to start construction on another day. A friend I know happened to be recruiting a partner, and I thought about the possibility, so I wanted to discuss it with you, and first embezzle the money from my family."

Of course, Xia Zhu knew that the money he was talking about was the money they had saved from working for decades. Except for daily expenses, the rest of the money was saved.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhu looked hesitant and dared not take the risk to agree to him: "It was agreed earlier that the money is reserved for buying a house in the future. Our relatives either bought a house in the county or bought a house in the city. The house is just ours, an old house like this. I'm not envious of other people's big houses, I just think that the two children will grow up in a blink of an eye, so we can't stay like this forever."

"I know what you said. I feel that this opportunity is right in front of us. It's a pity not to seize it. Several groups of people visited Bishuitan before, which shows that there is a prospect for development. Those people are short of funds. I thought the procedures were troublesome, so I put it on hold over time. Now that there is such a person who has solved all the difficulties in the early stage, I am picking up a ready-made one.”

"Then what if we lose money?" Xia Zhu had to make the worst assumption, "We lost all of our belongings, including the tuition and living expenses of Yuyu University for four years."

The two old people didn't know much about investment. Hearing what Xia Zhu said, Liu Chunxiu was a little scared, and said to Lu Guoming: "Your wife is right, what about a holiday villa? What should I do? In my opinion, don’t think about getting rich when you’re old, the most important thing is being pragmatic, isn’t it good to live in peace and stability?”

"That's not what I said. Mom, it's a good thing that Guoming has pursuit. I'm thinking about whether this project can work." Xia Zhu smiled, not wanting to make the atmosphere so serious, "There are more or less investments. Risk, but this risk is a bit big for our family, if you have spare money, it’s okay.”

Lu Guoming pursed his lips and thought about it for a while, as if he was persuaded by her.

"How about...forget it?"

On Jiang Xuewen's side, he didn't agree directly, he only gave him a definite answer after speaking.Following the past today, mainly as a local guide, taking them to survey the terrain.

Lu Yan blinked his ignorant eyes, looked at this and that, but couldn't understand what they were arguing at all.

"Lu Yu, what do you think?" Xia Zhu turned her head and asked her daughter who was sitting beside her.

She is also a member of the family, she is not young, she can understand things and give some opinions for others' reference.

Lu Yu was picking up a piece of lettuce and was about to put it in his mouth. Hearing this, he paused, and the blueprint drawn by Jiang Huaining unconsciously appeared in his mind.

After thinking for a while, she said slowly, "It's rare to see Dad being so persistent in wanting to do something. I think...how about letting him try?"

She didn't say it so firmly, it mainly depends on what her parents mean.

Lu Guoming took a sip of his wine and grinned, "As expected of Dad's caring little padded jacket."

Xia Zhu looked at her husband who had a little gray hair on his sideburns. He was the same age as her, also 42 this year, and his birthday was in mid-November, so he hadn't arrived yet.

She thought of the days when he wandered and struggled in the North City a few years ago; she thought of the scene where he was unhappy after returning to his hometown but quickly picked up his mood and went to the county to make a living; she thought of the light in his eyes when he talked about the holiday villa just now; look at him at this moment , smiling at his daughter with a sip of wine in his mouth, mixed with the depression and sadness of an adult man.

Before I knew it, my heart softened.

Xia Zhu said loosely: "I'll think about it again, and you can tell me in detail later."

"Okay, let's not talk for now." Lu Guoming picked up the chopsticks from the mouth of the bowl and picked up vegetables for her, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and have a happy birthday."

After the meal, Xia Zhu cut the cake. Xia Zhu wore a golden paper crown, and listened to the two children singing happy birthday to her. She forgot those troubles for a while, and just enjoyed the warmth of this moment.

-

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there were only a few days left before the start of school, and Lu Yan still had more than half of his homework to write.Lu Yu took half a day to give him counseling, and he was so angry during the whole process that his blood pressure was about to rise at a young age.

However, Lu Yan was still very innocent, lying on the table and biting the tip of his pen, he said, "I just don't understand."

Lu Yu supported his forehead with one hand, and rubbed his sore forehead with his fingers: "I'll tell you again, listen carefully, and don't distract me."

"Oh." Lu Yan bulged his cheeks.

After a question is finished, it's almost five o'clock.

Xia Zhu knocked on the door outside, Lu Yu got up and walked over to open the door, Xia Zhu looked inside and asked softly, "Has Lu Yan finished his homework?"

"No, I'm so stupid, the lecture topic made me angry." Lu Yu was so annoyed that the top of his head was about to rise in smoke, he fanned his face with his hand, and took a few breaths.

Xia Zhu smiled instead of anger: "Your brother is just like that. He's not as smart as you. Let's put your homework aside and you two change your clothes. Later, a friend of your father will come over and drive us to dinner." After a while, Xia Zhu suggested to her, "You should wear the new overcoat I bought for you years ago, the red one, wear it thicker inside, it's very cold at night."

"Great!"

Hearing the conversation between the two at the door, Lu Yan waved his hand, dropped the mechanical pencil, and jumped off the chair three feet high.

Xia Zhu smiled helplessly, why didn't he have such energy in his studies.

Lu Yu was still in a daze, with a strong intuition in her mind, but she couldn't believe it. She asked as if to prove, "Which friend is my father?"

"I haven't seen it either." Xia Zhu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the one who founded the resort."

Lu Yu let out a thoughtful "ah", and for a moment, it seemed as if a butterfly fluttered in her heart, and even her whole body jumped for joy.

Thinking of something, she restrained her joy and asked tentatively, "Is his family all here?"

"Then I don't know." Xia Zhu patted her arm, urging her, "Hurry up and change your clothes, the car will arrive in a while, it's not good to make people wait."

"Oh." Lu Yu nodded quickly.

Xia Zhu stepped on her high-heeled shoes downstairs, and the sound of clicking clicked away.

Lu Yu stood on tiptoe, walked briskly back to the room, took out a new coat from the closet and spread it on the bed.I have been struggling for a long time, not knowing which sweater is better to match inside.So, she turned out all the sweaters and held them next to the coat one by one for gestures.

In the end, she chose a light brown suit, with a sweater on her upper body and a woolen skirt of the same color on her lower body, with off-white ruffles woven around the hem of the skirt.

After Lu Yu changed his clothes, he stood in front of the mirror and turned around, and the hem of the skirt swayed beautifully in the air, like ripples in the middle of a lake.When she stopped, she stared at the girl with flushed cheeks in the mirror, and suddenly "ah", she fell on the bed, feeling so contrived!
"Yu Yu, are you alright?"

Downstairs, Xia Zhu waited for a while, but no one came down, so she stood at the stairs and called out.

Lu Yan is a boy, so he changed clothes quickly. He put on a small dark blue padded jacket and went down, holding an orange in his hand, and urged: "Sister, hurry up!"

"immediately!"

Shocked, Lu Yu turned over from the bed, returned to the mirror, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down, but he still seemed flustered.She brushed her messy long hair a few times with her hands, adjusted the belt around the waist of the coat, and finally put on black short boots, and went downstairs pretending to be a lady.

When Xia Zhu saw her, his eyes lit up.

Although she can see her daughter every day, she suddenly changed her dressing style, and she was really amazed.

When buying clothes for Lu Yu, she herself said that she should try to choose colors that are resistant to dirt, because she doesn't want to wash clothes at school, and if she is tired, she will waste time.

Lu Yu's cheeks were still a little hot, and he put the back of his hand against his face to cool down.

Xia Zhu's smiling eyes were bent, and she found a tube of lipstick from her bag on a whim, and walked up to Lu Yu: "Would you like to put on some mother's lipstick?"

"Ah? No, I'm still in school, it's too weird." Lu Yu shook his head and resisted.

"A little bit won't be too obvious, try it." Xia Zhu squeezed the lipstick with one hand, pressed her chin with the other to keep her from moving, and applied a thin layer on her lips, "Pinch your lips."

The smell of fragrance rushed into the tip of his nose. It was Lu Yu's first time to wear lipstick, and he experienced novelty. He lightly pursed his lips to even out the color on his lips.

Xia Zhu took a step back to appreciate her, nodded and praised her: "It's really pretty." Seeing her daughter blushing, she smiled and said, "Don't be shy, when I was your age, I was very fashionable in dressing."

Outside the door, Lu Guoming was calling the mother and daughter: "Why haven't you come out yet, the car is here."

Xia Zhu hurriedly put on her lipstick and stuffed it into her bag, then pulled Lu Yu out.

A seven-seater SUV was parked in front of the house, and the second row of windows was lowered halfway, revealing a slightly familiar profile of a woman.

The woman turned her head, smiled at the people outside the car, and said hello: "Mother Lu Yu, long time no see."

　Guess if Jiang Huaining is here?
