Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 55 Parents' Expectations

"Grandma, grandma,"

Mengmeng and Xiaobao ran over from a distance and hugged Chen Jinlian's thighs.

"Oh, my little darlings, slow down." Chen Jinlian smiled from ear to ear and touched their heads with a happy look on her face. The more she touched, the more she wanted to touch them.

"Son, I didn't see you just now."

The mother and son hadn't seen each other for almost half a year. Looking closely, they looked much older. Lui Lok pointed at the car and said, "I was just driving."

"Oh."

Before Chen Jinlian could react, she saw Lu Le taking out a bunch of things from the trunk and was stunned for a moment.

“This car…?”

"bought."

Chen Jinlian was just happy, with a big smile on her face: "Okay, okay, my son has made a lot of progress, but he doesn't know how to save a little. He will have many places to spend money in the future."

Being able to buy the car was Lu Le's ability, but she couldn't tell how much the car was worth.

In her opinion, it was only tens of thousands of yuan, which was too expensive and even Lu Le couldn't afford it.

"Don't stand here, follow mom upstairs."

Wang Xueyun helped carry the things: "Mom, what did you buy? I'll help you get it."

"No, just some dishes. I didn't even know you were coming. I'll go to the market later. What do you want to eat?"

Lu Le advised: "Mom, no need, we bought some food when we came here."

The house that Lu Qingguo rented was on the fourth floor, without an elevator. It was a bit old, with one bedroom and one living room. The rent was more than four hundred yuan a month, which was considered cheap!

The two little guys ran upstairs and started laughing when they reached the second floor.

Lui Lok was strong and had no problem climbing the stairs, but Wang Xueyun and Chen Jinlian found it a bit strenuous and had to stop to rest on the third floor.

Chen Jinlian looked at the things in Wang Xueyun's hand and said distressedly: "You guys just came, why did you buy so many things? You can't spend money carelessly, you will need money a lot in the future."

"Mom, I bought these things to honor you. We only come here once every six months. They are all Lu Le's love as a son. They are necessary."

"We are all family, why should we waste that money?" Chen Jinlian said, but her heart ached even more.

Looking at these things, they must have cost a lot of money, which is completely unnecessary for her!

After opening the door, there is a living room of only about ten square meters, which is filled with a lot of sundries. The kitchen is next to the window, which makes reasonable use of the balcony.

This was not Lui Lok's first time here, but it was too crowded.

"Your dad won't be back until later."

Chen Jinlian asked them to sit down, and then she went to the kitchen to busy herself. Then Wang Xueyun also went to help: "Mom, let me give you a hand."

"no, I'm fine."

"Hurry up, both of you. The children are probably hungry."

"okay."

.........

downstairs.

As soon as Lu Qingguo returned, he saw the Mercedes parked there and envied him: "This car is really nice, a new model Mercedes, I don't know who it belongs to."

Looking back, my life was like getting a driver's license, but I couldn't put it to good use, let alone owning a car.

Return to the rental house.

There were bursts of laughter and joy coming from inside.

Lu Qingguo smiled.

All the bitterness of the day is healed.

"dad."

Lu Qingguo nodded, and paid more attention to his grandchildren.

"Come here, little ones."

"Grandpa, grandpa."

The two little ones ran over immediately, and listening to the children's baby voices, Lu Qingguo's heart almost melted.

"Oh my, why haven't you gained any weight recently? Are you picky about food? You have grown a little taller though."

Holding the two little ones in his arms, Lu Qingguo said with a smile on his face.

"No, I eat everything, such as ice cream, candy..."

Mengmeng was still counting, but she didn't know that Lu Qingguo's face turned black, and finally he glared at Lu Le.

Lu Le: “…”

"Ahaha, Grandpa, you are wrong. I am heavier, two kilograms heavier!"

Xiao Bao immediately started to show off, holding up two fingers, looking so cute, and then he clung to Lv Qingguo, wanting to jump onto his back. Lv Le held Xiao Bao down and said, "Xiao Bao, don't climb on grandpa's back. Your grandpa has a bad back. If his old illness comes back, I'll take care of you."

"Hey, why are you carrying him down? I want to carry him on my back for a while."

Lu Qingguo couldn’t carry his grandson on his back enough, nor could he hug him enough. He always felt that he saw his grandson too little, and every time he hugged him, it felt like one less thing.

The two little guys finally settled down, and Lu Qingguo sat down. However, his eyes fell on the wine on the table, and he instantly became excited.

"Maotai?"

I guess you read that right.

Although I have never drunk it, I still know Feitian Moutai.

"Dad knows what he's talking about."

Lu Le smiled.

"Are you still laughing? Tell me why you bought such an expensive bottle of Moutai!"

"A gift from someone else."

"That's pretty much it."

If Lu Le bought it, Lu Qingguo would definitely scold him. Why are you so vain? Isn't the briefcase from home nice? It's only a few dollars a pound! He drank until he peed.

"How's business now?"

Lui Lok responded: "It's OK, it's been very stable recently."

"Another thousand days?"

"Have."

Seeing Lu Le nod, Lu Qingguo also nodded: "Don't be proud, take advantage of the opportunity and make more money. But I have to criticize you, this cigarette is too expensive, I smoke Hongtashan."

The two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes on the table cost five hundred yuan each, so two packs would cost one thousand yuan.

Lu Qingguo felt distressed.

If you spend a thousand yuan to buy Hongtashan cigarettes, you can buy so many packs that you can’t finish smoking them in months.

"Xueyun gave this to you as a gift. Feel free to smoke. If you can't quit, just smoke something good."

Lu Qingguo: "You don't stop her. If you don't agree, how can she buy it?"

"The meal is ready, come and eat."

After a while, Wang Xueyun's voice came from the kitchen.

Then, the family gathered around a small dining table. Although the space was crowded, they felt happy and warm.

There is no way, the living room space is so small and the conditions are limited!!
Lu Qingguo opened the Maotai and poured out two cups: "It's a rare visit for you, so let's have a cup each. Today, you and I can taste the flavor of the Maotai that everyone brags about."

Lu Le put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, I'm driving, I don't drink!"

Lu Qingguo: “???”

"You drove here, so where's your Lalamove? No, you can't carry so many people, and I didn't see it downstairs."

“It’s not Huolala.”

Chen Jinlian responded: "Dad, don't you know your son bought a new car?"

Lu Qingguo was surprised and looked at Lu Le with a puzzled look: "I don't know, what car?"

He was downstairs and didn't see any new cars except the Mercedes!!

Benz?

Benz!!
Lu Qingguo's eyes widened instantly: "You mean, you bought the Mercedes downstairs?"

"Yes."

Lu Le nodded, took out the Mercedes-Benz keys from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Hahaha, good, being able to afford a Mercedes-Benz means you are rich!" Lu Qingguo was very pleased and continued, "Your father is happy for you."

Chen Jinlian didn't expect her husband to react so strongly, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mercedes-Benz? What kind of car is it? Is it expensive?"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

Chen Jinlian took a breath and said, "A small car will do. Why buy such an expensive one?"

Lu Qingguo shook his head: "You don't understand."

He himself is not educated, but he knows that what Mercedes-Benz stands for is never its logo, but the waist of a person who has not been able to stand up for many years.

"By the way, now that you are successful in your career and have bought a Mercedes, it's time to plan for a house!"

If Lu Le had told Lu Qingguo before buying a car, he would have advised Lu Le to buy one worth about 100,000 yuan. After all, it was just for transportation, and the remaining money could be used to buy a house in the county town, which would be more prestigious! !

The parents' generation only hoped that their son would have a bright future and be able to buy a house and settle down in the county town. This was the last bit of stubbornness in their bones.
