I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

"Mom, you don't need to cook anything else. Just stir-fry some greens."

Lu Zhaoyang walked into the kitchen and opened the takeout box containing the lobster and stir-fried chicken that was on the table.

"OK."

Zhang Shuying responded and asked with concern, "Why did you suddenly come back today without saying a word?"

"I just wanted to come back."

Lu Zhaoyang opened the lobster, took a deep sniff, and nodded in satisfaction.

He made a last-minute decision to come back today and specially went to the store to get a lobster and stir-fried chicken to go.

In addition, he also carried a keg of draft beer, ready to have a drink with his father.

Lu Zhaoyang feigned surprise and asked, "What's wrong, Mom? Do I need to report back before going back to my own home?"

"What do you mean by reporting? I was just worried that something might have happened to you," Zhang Shuying said.

"It's really nothing, Mom."

Lu Zhaoyang forgot to laugh and began to reflect on himself.

His mother was so surprised to see him come home, and the reason was simply that he had come home too infrequently in the past.

That's why people are surprised by the unusual.

If anyone is to blame, it's only himself.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhaoyang took three glasses.

"Mom, you should try some too."

Lu Zhaoyang tentatively invited him.

He remembered that his mother rarely drank alcohol, but he did remember that she would have a drink once or twice when she was very busy with farm work to relieve her fatigue.

"This is draft beer, it's much fresher than the beer in this glass bottle, the taste is different."

Lu Dashan usually drinks beverages in plastic containers, which are placed in the corner next to the dining table.

It costs a dozen yuan a pack; it's the cheapest kind of beer.

When Lu Zhaoyang thought of the bank card his father had given him, and how his father had scrimped and saved to support his studies all these years, he felt a pang of guilt and heartache.

He poured a cup for his father and himself, and seeing that his mother did not object, he poured a third cup as well.

"Mom and Dad, try this lobster and stir-fried chicken! See if it's good!"

Lu Zhaoyang eagerly urged the two of them to start eating.

Ah Xiang's barbecue, many of the people he knows have eaten there.

It's just that my parents are the only ones left; that's really unfair.

"Mmm, delicious."

"It tastes good."

After the two of them had each tasted the two dishes and, unsurprisingly, both nodded in approval that they were delicious, Lu Zhaoyang was finally able to relax completely.

"Come on, Mom and Dad, try this beer and see how it tastes!"

Lu Zhaoyang took the first sip.

Zhang Shuying then took a sip, frowned, and said without any mercy, "I don't taste anything good about it."

"Hahaha!"

Lu Zhaoyang laughed, "It's not really that delicious. It's just that the taste is a bit different. People who can handle it should think it's pretty good."

Lu Zhaoyang turned his gaze to his father.

Lu Dashan also took a big gulp, tasted it, and nodded, saying, "The taste is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoyang felt a slight sense of relief, like a child who had been praised.

"How much is this?"

Lu Dashan, who has been drinking for so many years, can naturally tell the difference between good and bad alcohol.

He took another sip, then picked up the bottle from the table and examined it.

"Not many, these cost a few yuan per pound."

Lu Zhaoyang didn't dare tell the truth about the 28 yuan per pound fresh beer.

If I were to say anything, the two of them would definitely be worried about the cost, and they probably wouldn't even have much of an appetite for drinking.

After Lu Zhaoyang finished speaking, he said to Zhang Shuying, "Mom, eat more meat. You can eat the lobster without worry. I specially ordered the garlic flavor, not spicy. And this chicken is a real free-range chicken with very good meat quality."

"Let me know in advance if you want to eat it, and I'll make it for you. Buying it like this isn't cheap, is it?"

Zhang Shuying said instinctively.

"It's not expensive, it doesn't cost much."

We've eaten and drunk.

Lu Zhaoyang felt it was time to speak.

"Dad, Mom, I want to update you on the progress regarding the house..."

Before Lu Zhaoyang could finish speaking, two pairs of eyes turned to him. He continued in a steady voice, "The house is now fully renovated."

"Is the renovation finished? Have you moved in?" Zhang Shuying asked with concern.

"I haven't moved in yet. The renovation was just finished. Although we hired an environmental company to remove the formaldehyde, we're not in a rush. We're thinking of ventilating the place first."

Lu Zhaoyang said, "I'm just letting you know so you won't have to worry. If you have time, you can go and take a look sometime."

Zhang Shuying glanced at her husband and said, "We definitely have to go and see him. Once your dad has a day off, we'll go to Yunzhao."

"Okay, just let me know in advance when you're going, and I'll pick you up," Lu Zhaoyang said.

"No need, don't bother going back and forth. Your dad and I can take a car, it's not far," Zhang Shuying said.

"What's the trouble? I'm free right now anyway, and it's very convenient to come back. Besides, Mom, you don't know how cheap the tram is. The fare for you and Dad to take one trip is more than what I would spend going back and forth. It would cost more money."

"Really?" Zhang Shuying was somewhat surprised.

"Of course."

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to pick us up." Zhang Shuying readily agreed.

Lu Zhaoyang was quite satisfied with his negotiation skills. Then, thinking of something else, he turned to Lu Dashan and said, "Dad, why don't you take some time to learn to drive? Once you get your license, we can buy a car. It'll be more convenient for you and Mom to visit Yunzhao whenever you want."

"Yes, I asked and paid."

"Oh, that's good."

Now it was Lu Zhaoyang's turn to be surprised.

He hadn't expected his father to be so decisive in this matter.

He didn't know if his two million had any effect on his parents, but he could clearly feel that their mindset was much better than before.

At that moment, Lu Zhaoyang decided to directly reveal the matter of investing in the restaurant.

Perhaps it was that strange "arrogance" that was at play.

He used to think that his parents didn't understand many things, so he rarely talked about work-related matters.

Needless to say, he never revealed his setbacks at work to his parents.

Even when he achieves success, he rarely talks about it.

He didn't think his parents could understand him.

At most, he might tell his parents about his year-end bonus at the end of the year to make them happy too.

So this time, Lu Zhaoyang was still hesitant about whether to tell his parents directly about the restaurant investment.

In the past, he believed that as soon as he opened his mouth, they would most likely express their concerns.

I worry that he will be deceived, that he will fail, and that he will be overworked.

At that moment, he suddenly realized.

He never considered how much involvement he cruelly deprived his parents of in their relationship with their son.

He realized the "arrogance" in his mind.

I feel that after studying for several years, I subconsciously feel that I am no longer on the same level as my parents.

He now realizes he was wrong.

That's completely wrong.

The restaurant was a success this time.

He has a better mindset and wants to share his joy with his parents.

However, Lu Zhaoyang also realized that he had made a huge mistake in the past.

Even if you fail, it doesn't mean you can't talk to your parents.

If you don't talk to them, do you think they won't know how hard and difficult things are for you out there?

If they don't know, wouldn't they worry secretly?

"Mom and Dad, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Zhang Shuying looked over.

Lu Zhaoyang also silently put down his wine glass.

"It's nothing major, I just invested some money and partnered with someone to open a restaurant," Lu Zhaoyang tried to sound more relaxed.

Lu Dashan and Zhang Shuying looked at each other, neither of them speaking for a moment.

Everyone is trying to process this news.
