Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 214: Home, a safe haven

Although the two are uncle and nephew, Lu Jiacheng is very clear about the differences in official affairs, especially in this matter. If he cannot help Lu Shaohua, Lu Jiacheng would not dare to accept the commission. But then again, it is precisely because they are uncle and nephew that Lu Jiacheng wants to help Lu Shaohua as much as possible. They are all family!

"Xiaohua, do you think Fourth Uncle can do it?" Lu Jiacheng was extremely conflicted at this moment. On the one hand, he didn't know if he could do it well, and on the other hand, he wanted to help Lu Shaohua.

"Haha! Fourth Uncle, how do you know if you can do it without trying?" Lu Shaohua asked back.

In fact, Lu Shaohua had considered the future development direction of the whole family not long after his rebirth. His father, Lu Jiayao, was a relatively honest person. He would never do business outside. He had no problem staying at home and dealing with those fruit farmers, so Lu Shaohua planned to let Lu Jiayao develop the agricultural product trade for a long time. As for his third uncle, Lu Jiahui, he was relatively generous, but his mind was not very flexible. To put it bluntly, he was stubborn and lacked a lot of brains. He could not do big business and be conspicuous.

The two were excluded from doing business by Lu Shaohua, so the next one was Lu Jiacheng. He was experienced, calm and steady, and was the material for doing big business! That's why Lu Shaohua let him manage the supermarket at this time. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also believed that as time went by, he would accumulate more experience and be more comfortable in management.

As for his younger uncle Lu Chang, needless to say, he is concentrating on the path of official career. All Lu Shaohua has to do is to support him with all his strength so that he can climb higher and go further in the future.

"Well, I'll give it a try." Lu Jiacheng nodded, then frowned and said, "I'll be in charge of that place, so I may not have time to come to the fruit shop."

"Haha! Don't worry, let Uncle San take care of the fruit shop. It's already on the right track. With the help of those big brothers and their comrades, there won't be any trouble." Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

Lu Jiacheng nodded without saying anything, indicating that he agreed with Lu Shaohua's proposal.

Even the road to the fruit store has been arranged. Lu Shaohua didn't waste any words and directly told the follow-up plan for opening Liansuo Supermarket. Now he doesn't have the ability to build a building to open a supermarket, so he can only rent a building to open it. There is no other way. Lin Qiquan is very busy, so he can only do it this way for the time being.

Lu Shaohua took out the Shenzhen map he had prepared long ago and drew two circles on it. "Let's open two for now. The location of these circles is the point I set. Fourth uncle, your first task is to rent a house and decorate it. As for how to decorate and arrange the house, I will ask someone to draw up the blueprints."

The supermarket industry has already existed in Hong Kong, and Lin Qi happened to be a Hong Konger and was in real estate, so it was very easy for him to come up with some blueprints. As long as the property was rented and they could take a look, it would only take a day or two to design the blueprints.

"That's no problem." Lu Jiacheng said confidently. When he opened a fruit branch before, he had rented and renovated a house before, so he had some experience.

"Okay. By the way, I want to go home tomorrow. I haven't been home for more than two years. There's nothing to do here now, so I should go home and visit." Yes, Lu Shaohua hasn't been home for more than two years, and he doesn't know what has happened to his family. Besides, he has been either going to the Soviet Union or staying in Shenzhen to command everything recently, which is very stressful. It is only right for him to go home to relax and visit his parents.

"Well, it's enough for you to know that you haven't been home for two years. Your father called me several times and asked me where you were going. I told him that you were in Hong Kong. But no one answered my phone call to Hong Kong. I really don't know what you are doing." Lu Jiacheng said in a reproachful tone.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed, revealing the rare innocence that a child should have, but in his heart he was applauding his own acting skills.

……

Whether it is Hong Kong, the Soviet Union or Shenzhen, the layout of these three places has been completed. Lu Shaohua also feels that he has accomplished his mission. He will take advantage of this opportunity to go home and have a good rest. When he comes back again, he will go back to Hong Kong.

A day passed in idle chat, and Lu Shaohua immediately got on his Rolls-Royce and set off for home the next day. Home is always home, giving Lu Shaohua an indescribable feeling. Usually, when he stays in Hong Kong or goes to other places, it is okay not to miss it, but once he wants to go home, Lu Shaohua can't wait to go home. At this time, his mood can only be described in one word - eager to go home.

"Oh! No wonder people say that home is always a safe haven. Why didn't I feel the warmth of home in my previous life?" Lu Shaohua murmured to himself.

In my previous life, I wandered around Shenzhen for more than ten years. I only went home in the first few years after I came to Shenzhen. In the following years, I never went home. Come to think of it, my previous life cannot be compared with this life. My previous life can be described as miserable. But this life is different. I have money and power. At least I have a colonel certificate. Although it is just a position, compared with some people, it is power.

Rolls-Royce, which would later become a precious brand, was indeed not boastful. Driving on a bumpy road, it did not seem so bumpy, and it was almost negligible. Lying in the spacious back seat, Lu Shaohua fell into a deep sleep. The car was quiet, and only his faint breathing could be heard.

It would take at least five or six hours to get back to his hometown from Shenzhen at a normal speed. Lu Shaohua slept for about four hours in the car before slowly waking up, opening his eyes, sitting up, stretching, and asking, "Brother Li, how long will it take to get there?"

"At this speed, we'll be there in more than an hour." Li Shangkui turned his head and said, "Oh! You were sleeping just now. I told Qingyun not to drive so fast. If we drive faster now, we should be there within an hour."

"Well, let's speed up." Lu Shaohua had been a little impatient for a long time. He couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about going home.

This time Li Shangkui did not answer, but Zhang Qingyun spoke up. "Okay."

……

Just as Li Shangkui expected, 50 minutes later, the car had already arrived at the entrance of his hometown village. Lu Shaohua rolled down the window, breathed in the air with the smell of his hometown, took a look at the buildings in the village, and said, "Let's drive home."

My hometown hasn't changed. The buildings are almost the same as they were a few years ago. Looking from the car, a few families have built new houses, but only a few. Lu Shaohua shook his head. It should be easy for a small town close to the sea with convenient transportation to develop, but it just can't develop. This makes Lu Shaohua extremely depressed.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua sighed and didn't think about it anymore. He looked through the car window at the children in the village constantly rushing towards the car. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He still remembered that the last time he came back in a Mercedes-Benz 500, it was the same scene as now. Many children ran over to watch out of curiosity, and in the end, the car could not even move forward.

"Brother Zhang, drive slower, don't hit anyone." Zhang Qingyun was already driving very slowly, but Lu Shaohua couldn't help but warn him. We are all from the same village, and it is always bad to hit someone. Even though Lu Shaohua is rich now, he doesn't think that he is superior to others because of this. He was also born in a peasant family. What's more, hitting someone may result in the loss of a life.

The car was almost controlled to move forward at a speed of ten miles per hour, and slowly drove to the door and stopped. Only then did Zhang Qingyun breathe a sigh of relief, and rubbed his palms together as if he was sweating. The same situation happened behind, and Yang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief when he turned off the car, but they were better off, with the Rolls-Royce leading the way, and they were not under much pressure to follow behind.

After returning to his hometown, Lu Shaohua was no longer worried about his safety. He opened the car door carefully and looked at the fellow villagers with a smile. When he saw someone familiar, he nodded to them as a greeting and then walked towards the gate.

There was such a loud noise outside the door that the people at home were also alarmed. Almost when Lu Shaohua was about to knock on the door, the door opened automatically.

"Oh? What's going on?"

A voice came into Lu Shaohua's ears, which made him startled. He took a closer look and found that the person who opened the door was Lu Jiayao. He had a square face, dark skin, and a few wrinkles on his forehead. However, his body shape had undergone a qualitative change. He was no longer as thin as before, and now he almost looked like a "fat man."

"Dad!" Lu Shaohua called out with a choked voice.

Hearing Lu Shaohua's voice, Lu Jiayao finally reacted. He was a little confused by the scene at first and didn't notice Lu Shaohua who was right in front of him. When the voice reached his ears, he looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing that it was Lu Shaohua, he smiled, opened the door, ran to Lu Shaohua's side, hugged Lu Shaohua and said. "Haha! I thought something happened, but it turned out to be you who came back."

Lu Shaohua was depressed. He looked to be 13 years old, but Lu Jiayao still treated him as a child and hugged him whenever he wanted. But on second thought, no matter whether Lu Shaohua was or years old, in Lu Jiayao's eyes, he was still a child.

Lu Shaohua did not resist and let Lu Jiayao carry him around. He could only pretend to smile, feeling both pain and happiness. Fortunately, Li Shangkui and the others got off the car. When Lu Jiayao saw that it was Li Shangkui and the others, he put Lu Shaohua down and went to meet Li Shangkui and the others.

Lu Shaohua was so happy to be put down by Lu Jiayao that he took the opportunity to enter the house while Lu Jiayao was greeting Li Shangkui and the others. Apparently, the noise outside was too loud. When Lu Shaohua took the first step into the door, he felt many eyes shooting at him. When he looked up, he found that it was Du Xiaofeng and the others, and the other one was his mother Chen Li.

After greeting Cun Xiaofeng one by one, Lu Shaohua called out to Chen Li. "Mom, I'm back, haha!"

People say that women are made of water. Lu Shaohua didn't know this before, but now he understands it, because Chen Li's eyes are red, and if you look closely, you can easily see water drops in the corners of her eyes. She complained, "You kid, you haven't come back for more than two years."

Although Lu Shaohua is not a parent, he can understand the psychology of being a mother. However, in order not to be too sad, he still said with a smile. "I am back safely, am I not?"

Perhaps Lu Shaohua's joy infected Chen Li, she wiped away the tears that were about to flow and said, "Come here! Let mom take a good look at you and see if you have lost weight?"

Lu Shaohua was depressed again. He had no idea if Chen Li would pick him up high like Lu Jiayao did. However, Lu Shaohua still walked over obediently, gritted his teeth, and said secretly in his heart: "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
