I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!
Chapter 19 Changes in Parents' Mindset
Lu Zhaoyang got up early as usual in the morning.
These past few days, I've not only been in a good mood, but I've also been getting an unusually good night's sleep.
I've started to make jogging early in the morning a habit.
However, in the countryside, Lu Zhaoyang's early start wasn't really early.
Lu Dashan and Zhang Shuying got up even earlier.
As Lu Zhaoyang stepped out the door, he heard clanging sounds coming from the kitchen.
No need to guess, Mom is preparing breakfast.
Lu Zhaoyang washed his face in front of the water pipe and noticed the empty bowls, plates, and pickled vegetables on the table as soon as he entered the room.
The aroma of millet porridge wafted out of the kitchen.
"Mom, did Dad go to work?" Lu Zhaoyang smoothed his damp hair and walked in to ask.
The factories in my hometown generally don't offer paid leave; if you take a day off, you get paid for a day less.
Even though it's Sunday today, he just handed over a bank card with two million yesterday.
Lu Zhaoyang knew it wouldn't interfere with his father's work.
He didn't expect that the money would completely change his parents' lives.
They are only in their fifties and have decades of lifestyle habits. Suddenly having nothing to do might not be a good thing.
Lu Zhaoyang's current hope is that they can improve their lives a little more with peace of mind, and at the same time alleviate the pressure brought by their two sons getting married and starting their own families.
"Yes." Zhang Shuying turned around upon hearing the voice. "They've been gone for a while."
"So early?"
Lu Zhaoyang knew that people in his family went to work early, but not this early.
"Yes, he went to town first."
"In town?" Lu Zhaoyang couldn't help but laugh. "You didn't go there with a bank card, did you?"
"Um."
Zhang Shuying didn't laugh, but nodded seriously and carefully looked outside.
Even though it was in my own yard, it felt like someone had overheard us.
"I didn't sleep well last night. Seeing such a large sum of money makes me feel at ease."
"Alright."
Lu Zhaoyang could actually understand.
Just like the two days after he won the lottery, he also had a hard time sleeping.
Now he increasingly feels that he was prepared for the worst and didn't set his expectations too high.
Otherwise, the parents' reaction would probably be even stronger.
"Don't tell your brother about this. What if he can't keep his mouth shut and talks about it outside? Also, don't tell any outsiders. Keep this to yourself and act like it never happened. You can't see into someone's heart. Not everyone wants what's best for you. We don't want to harm anyone, but there are bound to be some people with bad intentions," Zhang Shuying advised worriedly.
"Okay, Mom, I understand," Lu Zhaoyang said with a smile.
Zhang Shuying was busy with her hands and didn't turn around. She said in a lower voice, "Yangyang, your dad and I calculated yesterday that we've only saved so much money over the years. With you doing this, the weight on my heart has finally been lifted off my shoulders."
Lu Zhaoyang was about to go out when he stood in the doorway.
He sensed the relief in his mother's voice and was very happy; this was exactly what he wanted to see.
"Life will get better and better from now on, Mom," he said steadily.
Lu Zhaoyang returned from his run, and Lu Zhaoyu also got up.
Amidst the sounds of her two sons slurping their millet porridge, Zhang Shuying finally received a phone call.
There were only two "um"s throughout the call, and he had a happy expression on his face when he hung up.
Zhang Shuying glanced at her youngest son and swallowed her words back.
Lu Zhaoyang saw all of this and knew that he could finally relax.
Sure enough, as soon as breakfast was finished, Zhang Shuying started preparing lunch.
I'm going to cook some nice dishes to celebrate.
Lu Zhaoyu will be going back to school this afternoon, so this meal can only be eaten around noon.
Lu Zhaoyang helped to heat the pot.
Their family also has a large iron pot for burning firewood.
Zhang Shuying steamed some buns and dumplings for him to take away.
"Mom, what's the good news? Why are you preparing so much delicious food?"
Lu Zhaoyu was a little confused.
My mom became beaming with joy after answering a phone call.
"Could it be... that my brother has a blind date coming over?"
Lu Zhaoyu's mind raced, and he asked a sincere question.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoyang paused in his hand as he was stuffing firewood into the pot, almost pulling the piece of wood out of the pot himself.
While busy at work, Zhang Shuying laughed without looking up, "Who arranges a blind date where the girl comes to the boy's house? Even if it's a blind date, the boy has to take the initiative to go to the girl's house!"
"So you also have to carry sunflower seeds and candy, right?"
Lu Zhaoyu smiled smugly at Lu Zhaoyang and eagerly asked for his guidance.
"Yes, you can't go door-to-door empty-handed; you have to bring something with you."
Zhang Shuying spoke in a relaxed tone.
"When will you arrange something for my brother again? Or I can go with him and record the video. This is a wonderful moment, we have to capture it."
Lu Zhaoyu started to argue.
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyang's cheeks, red from the fire, turned almost black: "Is your butt itchy? Come here, let me scratch it for you with this hot stick."
Zhang Shuying glanced at her two playful sons and chuckled, "Your brother just met someone. If he can continue chatting, he can. If not, there's no rush. He just got back, let him settle down first."
When Zhang Shuying received a call from her husband and learned that there really was more than two million yuan in the card her son had left behind the night before.
She suddenly realized that there was no need to rush her son's blind dates.
It would be good if it could be done faster, but my son's situation is different.
Previously, the concern was that our family's financial situation was average, and we had two boys.
It would be troublesome if I got older and couldn't find a suitable girl to marry.
Now, she feels that her son can meet more outstanding girls.
He drives a car worth over 300,000 yuan, bought a house outright, and still has over 2 million yuan in cash in his account.
This is not a joke.
Lu Zhaoyu sighed and feigned regret.
Lu Zhaoyang was somewhat surprised by his mother's attitude; it seemed like things had changed.
Could it be because of yesterday's money?
Lu Zhaoyang thought about it and felt that there were no other possibilities.
If that's the case, then it's truly an unexpected bonus!
At noon, Lu Dashan came back for lunch, his face also glowing with health.
This money belongs to his son; he really didn't intend to spend it himself.
But whether or not to spend money is one thing, having money in hand is another.
Two sons—their education, buying a house, getting married—are like two mountains weighing on his shoulders and his heart.
Now the eldest son doesn't have so much pressure.
As for Lu Zhaoyu's youngest son, he's still a long way from starting school.
"Dad, I think you should take some time to learn to drive. You can buy a car later, which will make it easier to go out. Putting aside Lu Zhaoyu, I'm in Yunzhao now. If you and Mom want to go for a couple of days, it will be convenient if you can drive."
At the dinner table, Lu Zhaoyang offered his advice.
"That's right, Dad, my brother is right. Many elderly people drive these days. You're still young, you can definitely learn to drive in time," Lu Zhaoyu chimed in.
"Okay, I'll ask the driving school in town when I have time," Lu Dashan replied.
Lu Zhaoyang had tried to persuade him before, but Lu Dashan was used to riding motorcycles and just said it was all the same.
Now, his mindset is also subtly changing.
Lu Zhaoyang also noticed this change and was very happy.
No rush, take your time.
The best days are yet to come.
After finishing her meal, Zhang Shuying packed up the steamed and cooled buns.
Lu Zhaoyang lent a helping hand from the side.
"Mom, I've found a house. It needs some renovations. You and Dad can go take a look at it after it's all done."
"Okay, buying a house is a big deal, so be careful."
Lu Dashan, who was next door, listened without saying anything.
In the past, they certainly wouldn't have trusted Lu Zhaoyang to make such a big decision about a house on his own.
But now that their son has brought back so much money, it seems to have given them a sense of security.
Even if they know that the money was won by luck, through buying lottery tickets.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."
After finishing packing the steamed buns, Lu Zhaoyang's phone rang. It was Xu Chunliang calling.
"Xiao Lu, I've contacted the engineering company. When are you free? I'd like them to come over and discuss the plan."
On the phone, Secretary Xu's voice sounded cheerful.
