Chapter 230: Not Spoiled [3200]
After four or five days of beating drums and gongs, we finally carried my uncle's coffin up the mountain.
As a filial family.
Everyone in the Lu family, from Lu Yang's aunt to the little kid Lu Xiahua, was exhausted and exhausted. They wished they could lie on the bed and sleep for two days and two nights to make up for all the lost energy.
But not yet.
Don't forget that there are two adults and one child living in the hospital. Lu Youli is not a good person, but his wife is also the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. The premature birth last night might be very damaging to her health. After all, she lost so much blood along the way. And that little baby was only seven months old, but was forced to leave his mother's womb early with the help of his bastard father and come to this world to suffer.
We can’t just pretend we didn’t see it, because our conscience will hurt.
Finally, a total.
It was decided to let Lu Yang's aunt go to the hospital to take care of her daughter-in-law and eldest grandson.
Anyway, it looks like she has wanted to go for a long time.
As for the others, Lu Yang's eldest cousin and his eldest cousin's wife, their own families had just given birth to babies.
I've been very busy these days.
I couldn't even take good care of my own children. Now that I've finally finished my father's funeral, of course I have to focus all my attention on my own children.
Finally, the couple grumbled for a while, took out 20 yuan, and asked Lu Yang's aunt to take him to the hospital.
Just consider it as a token of their appreciation.
Premature births require hospitalization for observation, and pregnant women who have suffered damage to their vitality also need to be hospitalized for observation, which will not be a small amount of money.
Lu Youyi has not yet married, and his fifth brother has stolen his money, which makes him very unhappy.
I wanted to keep silent.
But there was a small hand next to him, pulling his sleeve.
His fiancée Guo Rourou, a 18-year-old girl, is a very kind person. Even though the parents of both sides had just had a meal together and set a wedding date, they had not actually obtained a marriage certificate with him, Lu Youyi.
But ever since Lu Yang's uncle passed away, she has always regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She wears mourning clothes and does everything a daughter-in-law should do. She does it in a proper and proper manner.
Everyone saw it and envied Lu Youyi for marrying a good wife.
At this time, Lu Youyi was pulled by his future daughter-in-law.
The hostility in his eyes suddenly melted away, turning the straight man into a soft and gentle person.
I happily took out 20 yuan.
I was just about to give it to my mother.
But Guo Xiaomei stopped him, took out her purse, and took out ten yuan, "You pay ten yuan, I'll pay ten yuan too, let's pay together."
After saying that, she smiled sweetly at him.
Lu Youyi suddenly realized it and slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."
He is not a stubborn person. The girl is willing to pay because she wants to live with him. If he refuses, wouldn't he hurt her feelings?
He was able to marry a girl who was ten years younger than him and coax her into his arms. Although Lu Youyi looked dull and didn't talk much, that was because of his inferiority complex in the past.
In fact, he is a man with a very delicate mind.
After taking the money from his future daughter-in-law, he held her hand and walked to his mother with confidence: "Mom, here, this is the money that your future daughter-in-law and I have put together. Take it to Lao Wu."
Lu Youyi turned and looked at his future wife, his eyes full of love.
Similarly, the younger sister of the Guo family also had eyes full of love.
For a moment, the glares between the two were almost tearing.
"Oh my god!"
The sixth brother Lu Youzhi turned around. He was a single man, and at this moment, he felt like he had received a critical hit of 1000 million points.
"Cousin, I miss Yangcheng. When can Sister Wei Shu and Miss Xiaoxiao and their female classmates arrange for me to go on a business trip to Yangcheng again?"
He clasped his hands together and whispered to Lu Yang with a sly look in his eyes.
Lu Yang smiled and said, "Are you in such a hurry? Don't you regret it? After all, you just came back and have to travel a long distance. I'm worried that you can't bear the hardship."
In the past few days, orders from Yangcheng have been increasing.
If nothing unexpected happens, even after the Canton Fair is over, they will need an office in Guangzhou to digest the foreign trade orders received during the Canton Fair, and then complete the orders, connect the delivery, collect the balance from the other party, and if the other party's goods sell well in the future, they will have to order another batch, etc. It would be best to have an office in a large coastal city to better complete the above connections.
Unless it is these foreign trade orders, Lu Yang just wants to take a bite and will just give up in the future.
Sister Wei Shu’s opinion is that Yangcheng is a good choice and the foreign trade office can be placed in Yangcheng.
When the time is right in the future and orders continue to come in, we can also set up a foreign trade branch here that is specifically responsible for imports and exports.
Lu Yang thought it made sense.
It's definitely worth a try. These past few days, even when I was on the train, I was in contact with Guangzhou about this matter.
The discussion lasted for dozens of minutes.
Although it was not very convenient, Lu Yang had a cell phone, so he only needed to make a phone call and go to the front desk of the hotel where they were staying, which only took time to wait. Lu Yang sometimes thought that he might as well equip all the important managers in the factory with cell phones, but after calculating the cost, he felt that it was not worth it and had to give up.
A mobile phone costs tens of thousands of dollars. The key is that even if you can afford to buy it, you may not be able to maintain it. The phone bills can easily be hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month. Unless the boss Lu Yang is willing to pay for it and reimburse it all, even if Lao Liu becomes a manager and his salary has risen to eight hundred, he may not be willing to use his own money to maintain such a big brick.
This can only be solved by waiting for the phone charges to drop in the future, or by the emergence of new mobile calling devices, such as Xiaolingtong, Nokia, Motorola, and other foreign mobile phone brands entering the domestic market.
The curtain was opened on the 2G communication era.
By then, we can equip all senior executives in the factory with communication equipment and reimburse their phone bills.
Lu Youzhi said excitedly: "Not bitter, not bitter. Hey, so what? I love riding the train the most."
He didn't know yet that Lu Yang was already planning to be the head of the Yangcheng office.
Just treat it as an ordinary business trip.
But even if he knew, he might be happier, because after all, this way he would have plenty of time to carefully choose the girl he wanted to pursue.
By then, maybe he could really marry a female college student and bring honor to their Lu family.
Seeing that he was so happy, Lu Yang stopped hiding his plan and told him.
"Okay, since you want to go on a business trip, then go ahead. But I need to tell you in advance that this business trip is not like the Canton Fair, which only takes a week or ten days at most. Instead, we need to at least complete all the orders we received at the Canton Fair, deliver all the goods, and receive the money before we have a chance to come back. If there are more foreign trade orders, we may have to stay longer.
Also, when you go this time, Ping An and Da Jun will be back soon. From now on, I will leave all the work in Yangcheng to you. Do you have confidence?"
"I promise to complete the task, don't worry, cousin."
Lu Youzhi was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
The two of them huddled together and talked in whispers.
On the other side, after receiving the money from the eldest son and his wife, the third son, with his future daughter-in-law, came to give her money, which made Lu Yang's aunt-in-law so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Good, good, good, good, good children, you are all good children."
Except laughing.
Lu Yang's aunt was also a little moved and wanted to cry.
This was the first time that the third brother was willing to call out the fifth brother's name since he lost his money last time. She thought that these two brothers would never have any contact with each other in their lives.
As a mother, she certainly doesn't want this.
Yes, she loves to throw tantrums, love to take advantage of others, and is unreasonable.
But she doesn't want her sons to learn from her!
It would be best if everyone had noble morals, was kind and gentle, so that brothers could be friendly and respectful to each other.
Take the money.
After finishing her speech, she looked at her second daughter and her son-in-law. Oh, yes, and the sixth one...
This guy is not married, but he earns more than his married brothers. He should show some appreciation, right?
Lu Yang's second cousin didn't marry well. Her second brother-in-law looked like an honest and ordinary farmer. He was uneducated and probably hadn't read many books. Their village seemed to be very remote. Not only was it not close to the county town, it didn't even seem to have a road.
Without any external income, how much money can you save with just the few acres of land at home?
At this time, seeing that both brothers had taken the money, the mother looked over again, and the couple looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
20 yuan is too much. I don’t know how much the millet should be sold for.
And if we sell them all, what will the people in our family eat?
Unable to bear the look in his mother-in-law's eyes, Lu Yang, the second brother-in-law, an honest farmer, dug deep into his pocket and finally took out seven or eight yuan, all in change. He had intended to use the money to buy seeds and pesticides, as he wanted to wait until after his father-in-law's funeral, and then the couple would go to the big market here.
Count and count again.
After counting several times, this honest farmer was originally planning to take out five dollars and keep three dollars for himself.
But at this moment, an old woman's hand suddenly reached out and took away all his money.
"Give it to me, why are you so stingy? How much is this? Hmm, you've figured it out. I have to talk to you guys. Look at you brothers, how much do you give compared to what others give? Okay, I won't bother with you anymore."
Lu Yang's aunt said impatiently to the farmer and his daughter who looked reluctant.
Then he was ready to put the money in his pocket.
But suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.
"Mom, give the money back to my second brother-in-law. This is the money that my second brother-in-law and second sister have worked so hard to save. Why should they take it out and give it to Lao Wu to spend? Who does he think he is?"
Lu Youzhi grabbed the money back without saying anything, and stuffed it back into his second brother-in-law's hand, saying, "Don't listen to my mother. You work hard to earn money. That bastard Lu Youli has his own money. It's more than enough for his wife to give birth and stay in the hospital. We don't have to feel sorry for him, let alone sympathize with him. Just listen to me and you don't have to pay a penny."
He won't get used to it.
If only the eldest and third brothers paid the 20 yuan, he would not say anything, after all, the eldest brother's monthly salary is so high, and the third brother's monthly salary is also high. 20 yuan is nothing to the two of them now, just think of it as a supplement for the premature nephew.
However, my parents actually set their sights on my second sister and brother-in-law.
How could he agree to this?
Out of dissatisfaction, he did what he just did.
