Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 717 Lu Jiajie Extra 3
Yao Hongmei has her own way of raising children. Xiao Feng'er listens to her very much. She recites when she is asked to, and does so obediently when she is asked to take a bath or go to bed.

Lu Jiajie was very happy. When the couple lay on the bed, he said gratefully, "Hongmei, thank you for your hard work."

Yao Hongmei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's hard or not, they are my children too."

She had a sterilization after giving birth, so if she wants to have another child, she has to undergo surgery, and then find someone who doesn't have children. At her age and conditions, if she wants to find a first-married man, the other party's conditions are far inferior to hers, because those with good conditions are not willing to marry a second-married man.

When she married her ex-husband, his family was not well off, and his family didn't help her with her marriage and childbirth. But at the time, they were in love and thought that as long as the family was happy, it didn't matter if they had to suffer a little. When her ex-husband went into the sea to make money and changed his mind, she regretted it so much. After her son was gone, her mentality changed even more. If she were to find another one, she would want to find one with better conditions, at least she wouldn't have to suffer anymore. If she were to find one with worse conditions, who could guarantee that he wouldn't change his mind and live with her until old age? Lu Jiajie's conditions were very good, and most importantly, his character made her feel at ease. Although he often went out, he was generous to her and gave her two thousand yuan before he left. Her monthly salary was only two hundred. In return, she would definitely take care of the household affairs and take good care of the children.

The two children were taken care of by Yao Hongmei, so Lu Jiajie didn't have to worry about them, so he thought about what business to start. After much deliberation, he decided to do clothing and electrical appliances, both of which he was familiar with, and he had connections and resources.

When he was looking for a store, Lao Hei came over. Lao Hei disagreed with him leaving and said, "Don't worry, it was an accident last time. I won't let you take risks again in the future."

Lu Jiajie shook his head and said, "Brother Hei, I promised to deliver the goods last time, and I don't blame anyone for the danger. It's just that Chang Li has a grudge against me. In our line of work, if we can't deliver, something bad will happen sooner or later. I have a family to support, so I don't dare to take risks."

Lao Hei's face changed: "What's going on?"

Lu Jiajie often delivers goods to the border, and he also has his own informants: "Chang Li thinks I am just an errand boy, and I am not worthy of sharing the profits with you. Brother Hei, we still have a bond if we break up now, but if we continue, we will have a falling out and we won't even be friends anymore."

Lao Hei didn't know about this. He was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay if you don't work with Lao Chang. You have the channels for purchasing and selling goods. It would be a pity to give them up like this."

According to Lao Hei, Lu Jiajie could work alone. He promised the boss not to go abroad, so he did not go abroad, but purchased the scarce goods from Russia from the mainland and then sold them at the border. Lu Jiaguang was the leader of the Railway Bureau, and Lu Jiajie could rent train carriages through his connections, which greatly reduced the risk.

Lu Jiajie was silent for a moment and said, "I don't have that much money."

Lao Hei smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. I have basically not touched the money I have earned over the years. Let's become partners, I will pay and you will do the work, and we will split the profits in half."

Hearing this, Lu Jiajie said sincerely: "Lao Hei, you have earned enough, you don't have to work so hard, come back if you can!"

Lao Hei shook his head and said, "I'm different from you. I like what I'm doing now."

"But you can't always be like this?"

Lao Hei didn't think that far ahead. He smiled and said, "Who can predict what will happen tomorrow, let alone the future? Just live well today."

He was obsessed with revenge at first, and now that he has done it, all he has left is to repay the boss' kindness. When the boss doesn't need him anymore, he will go back to the city, marry a wife, have two kids, and live a happy life with his wife and kids. If he dies, it's the path he chose.

Lu Jiajie stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, you pay and I work, we split it in half."

When he got home, Lu Jiajie told Yao Hongmei about this: "Sending goods to the border by train will make less money than before, but it is safer."

"Didn't you say you wanted to open a store before? Why did you change your mind?" Lu Jiajie told her the reason: "I used all my previous earnings to pay off my debts, and now I only have a little over 30,000 yuan. I'm already familiar with border trade, so I'll continue to do it and make steady profits."

Yao Hongmei didn't know how to do business. She thought for a moment and said, "It's not that easy to rent a train compartment. I have to ask my brother first."

"You agree?"

Yao Hongmei agreed, but she had a condition: "When you have enough money, open your own shop and don't go out again. This is dangerous after all."

Lu Jiajie said that he thought so too. However, as the SL situation changed, the profits of border trade became higher and higher, so he was reluctant to give up and kept doing it.

Yao Hongmei opposed it at first because she thought it was dangerous, but now the SL dismantling business is very profitable and many people have joined in. Many people in her unit have asked her about it, and it would be stupid to ask Lu Jiajie not to do it at this time.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for Lu Qiang's college entrance examination. This child has always studied very hard and his grades are very stable. However, no matter how good his grades are, as a father, he naturally cannot be absent from such an important event as the college entrance examination. Therefore, Lu Jiajie deliberately put down his work and stayed to pick up his son.

Before entering the examination room, Lu Jiajie patted Lu Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Son, relax. There is more to life than just going to college. If you fail the exam, you can also start a business with Dad."

A parent nearby quickly pulled his child aside when he heard this.

Yao Hongmei pushed him angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Jiajie explained: "This is what Jiaxin said to Zhenzhen when she was taking the college entrance examination. I think it makes sense. It's good to pass the exam, but it's okay if you don't. There are other ways to go."

Lu Qiang was a little nervous at first, but he was so shocked by his conversation that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, you and Aunt Yao should go back quickly!"

When Lu Qiang entered the examination room, Yao Hongmei could no longer control her temper and scolded him, "How can you be a father like this? On a day like today, you should say he passed the exam, how can you say he failed? How unlucky!"

Lu Jiajie smiled and said, "Didn't you see that Qiangqiang was very nervous just now? I said this to make him relax and not feel so stressed. Jiaxin said that if you travel light, you can perform exceptionally well."

Yao Hongmei felt helpless. She had to keep repeating Jiaxin's words to him, and her ears must have calluses from hearing him say that for so many years of being married to him.

On the way back, Lu Jiajie said, "According to the date calculation, Jiaxin's due date is in mid-October. Our family went to Zhaozhao's full moon celebration, and we should be able to go to this child's full moon celebration as well. Hongmei, I'm going to make a set of gold items for the child as a gift, what do you think?"

Yao Hongmei knew that Lu Jiajie was able to achieve what he had today thanks to Lu Jiaxin. She was generous and said, "You can't favor one over the other. I gave Zhao Zhao the gold jewelry, so you have to make up for it."

"You are right. I will ask the gold shop to make two sets of orders when the time comes."
