After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 48: I'm rich and I don't care

"Dad, why are you still going to work?"

When he got home, Lu Liang saw his father coming back from outside on a motorcycle, still wearing his work clothes.

Lu Liang had a deep impression of his father who worked in a mold factory. From childhood to adulthood, his father's hair and face were always greasy and dirty every time he got off work, and sometimes he had to work night shifts.

"The factory has a batch of urgent orders recently. I will resign from my boss after I finish them."

My father smiled, pushed the motorcycle into the yard, picked up the hose on the ground to rinse his head, and then washed his face with soap.

He has been working in this factory for more than 20 years. His boss has always treated him well. He believes that one should finish what he starts.

"You two are so good, one went to work and the other went out. I don't know how many people came to our house today."

The mother held the vegetable basket in her hands. Although she was complaining, the raised corners of her mouth betrayed her inner joy.

Today, the sentence she heard most was "Your son is really capable", which is probably the sentence that parents are most happy to hear.

"If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives." My father suddenly sighed.

Although he was not at home, he received many calls from distant relatives.

Lu Liang was surprised that his father had such awareness. It would be difficult for friends and relatives who wanted to borrow money from them in the future.

"Mom, don't cook. Let's go out for dinner tonight and then take you around."

Lu Liang hadn't gone out with his parents for many years, and they had never ridden in his car.

My mother was tempted, but then she thought about how the rice was already cooked and said, "Let's wait until next time."

"After Dad's birthday, I will go back to the Magic City. I won't have much time in the future."

Lu Liang persuaded him again and again, and his father made the final decision: "Just save it for cooking porridge tomorrow."

My parents went back to their rooms, took a shower, changed clothes, and put on new clothes that they rarely wore.

Lu Liang suddenly felt sad, he had seen that set of clothes before, he bought it when he got married two years ago.

It's very new, like it's never been worn, but after being stored for a long time, the white collar has turned a little yellow.

After entering the car, the two were very careful and sat upright, fearing that they might touch any buttons and damage the car.

"Dad, you should drive. Just drive casually. You are an experienced driver. Don't you have confidence?"

Lu Liang let his father drive, and he followed his mother into the back seat and introduced the functions of the car to her.

"This is the air conditioning adjustment button, this is the refrigerator, and there is also Internet access in the car, so you can watch TV and movies..."

Lu Liang instilled in his parents the idea that cars are external possessions and are not that fragile; even if they break down, they can still be repaired under warranty.

The family of three went to the city, had dinner at a restaurant that looked pretty good, and then went straight to the largest shopping mall in the city.

Lu Liang bought several sets of clothes for his parents respectively, a watch for his father, a gold bracelet for his mother, and finally two Apple phones.

Although Apple phones have poor signals, they are more friendly to the elderly. Unlike Android phones, they may automatically download a bunch of software when you open a web page.

It took more than two hours and cost more than 100,000 yuan. The most expensive items were watches and bracelets, but this money was definitely the most worthwhile money Lu Liang had ever spent in his life.

On the way back, my dad drove again. He was now very familiar with the car and not as restrained as before.

There was a fork in the road ahead. To the left was Luhe Village. Lu Liang suddenly said, "Dad, let's go to Jinyayuan."

There are no large-scale residential communities in rural areas. Developers generally build a few buildings and name them "garden" or "park".

The house that Lu Liang bought,

It's on the fifth floor of Building B in Jinyayuan.

When they heard that Lu Liang bought an apartment after going out, his parents were all stunned.

"Do you have too much spare money and don't know where to spend it?" Mom scolded with a stern face.

"It's not expensive anyway."

Lu Liang smiled and led the two upstairs with a look of excitement. "Besides, the new house may not be built in a year. Do you want me to stay in a hotel next time I come back?"

My father has a strong tolerance and is very reasonable: "Just buy the house, it's better than spending it recklessly."

He couldn't help but look down at his wrist. He was wearing an ordinary metal watch worth 48,000 yuan.

If the two of them hadn't stopped him, Lu Liang would have still planned to buy that watch worth 58 yuan as a birthday present for him.

"My dad is a man of foresight. People in Shanghai are speculating on real estate. It's over 5,000 now, but it might be worth tens of thousands in a few years."

"You can even talk about the Magic City, how can our small place compare with the big cities?"

My mother sighed and stopped talking. After all, she had already bought it, and buying a house was better than spending money recklessly.

120 square meters of large three-bedroom apartment,
I simply made the ceiling and walls.

There was only a table and a few chairs in the room, and on the table was Lu Liang's leftover lunch. My mother's muscle memory was immediately awakened, and she picked up the broom and started cleaning.

Dad and Lu Liang were driven to the balcony.

My dad suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about your future plans?"

"What's your plan?" Lu Liang asked.

"We don't understand your work, and we can't help you. All we can do is not to cause you trouble, and not to let your family cause you trouble. But what about your family? You're not a child anymore."

Lu Jiancheng was smoking a cigarette, still a soft Baisha. He was not used to the soft cigarette and always felt that the cigarette was boring.

The couple almost didn't sleep last night. They agreed to stay out of Lu Liang's career issues and not cause any trouble.

But family has become a concern for them. They are not young anymore, and the children of Lu Liang’s childhood friend are about to go to elementary school.

"Just let it be. You can't force this kind of thing."

Hearing Lu Liang say this, Lu Jiancheng felt guilty and did not try to persuade him any further.

The reason why Lu Liang married Lin Wenjing back then was actually closely related to the fact that the couple had been forcing them to get married.

After traveling back and forth between the two places for blind dates again and again, he must have been tired and finally got married after finding someone who was just right.

It turns out that a forced melon is not sweet.

"Dad, if I don't want to get married, I won't get married even if you put a knife to my neck."

Lu Liang smiled, looking relaxed. Those were all things of the past. Just treat it as an investment failure, no big deal.

The next morning, Lu Liang went to the Volvo store in the city with a copy of his father's driver's license.

I spent 43.9 yuan to buy an XC60, which is said to have the highest safety factor on the planet, as a birthday present for my father.

When he took the receipt home, his mother was about to scold him, but Lu Liang gave a well-founded reason.

The two places are more than 500 kilometers apart, and it takes at least six hours to drive back each time.

If the family has a car, he can take the high-speed rail next time. When he is free, dad can also take mom to travel around.

My mother was convinced.

Dad had no reason to refuse.

A man is a boy until he dies, and he has no resistance to cars.

Lu Liang discovered last night that his father was caressing the steering wheel affectionately.

That look was like Lu Liang was looking at Li Manli who was wearing swimsuit, and he couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

On Wednesday, Lu Jiancheng celebrated his 55th birthday.

Lu Liang booked a small private room at Zhenhailou and then acted as a passenger driver. He first sent his parents and grandparents to the restaurant and then went to the town to pick up his brother-in-law and his family.

Lu Ya's consideration is not unreasonable. Her grandparents are still alive and her father is not too old, so a small gathering will be enough.

Mom and Dad were chatting with grandparents, the two nephews were moving around the table, and Lu Liang, Lu Ya and Luo Haitong were chatting.

"How do you plan to build it? How many floors do you want to build?"

These days, Lu Ya has not been idle. She has visited several professional construction companies and obtained some template drawings.

Although their old house is dilapidated, it covers a large area, a total of 255 square meters including the courtyard.

Lu Liang immediately fell in love with a three-and-a-half-story western-style house with a front yard: "Let's build it according to this style."

85 square meters are reserved as the front yard, with a lawn on the left, a stone floor on the right, and the main building at the back.

The lawn can be used to grow fruits and vegetables, and the stone slabs can be used for parking or drying quilts.

Lu Ya smiled and said, "I think you will like this one too. The cost of this set is 900 per square meter."

Building a house is not expensive, but decorating it is expensive.

The building area is 170 square meters and it has three and a half floors. The construction cost is only more than 53 yuan, but there is no upper limit on decoration.

You can spend tens of thousands of dollars to build it in the Syrian style, or you can spend hundreds of millions or tens of millions to build it into a palace.

After transferring 50 yuan to Lu Ya first, Lu Liang gave Luo Haitong a cigarette and said, "Brother-in-law, I have work to do in Shanghai and can't leave. I can only trouble you, sister, for this matter."

Luo Haitong is an honest man. He smiled and said, "We are one family and we don't have different opinions."

Everyone enjoyed the birthday banquet very much.

Because there is a person who is rich, willing to spend money and not picky.

As long as there is one such person in a family, the atmosphere will be harmonious.
