Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 270: I am a guest and talk with my father

Lu Shaohua smiled at his mother Chen Li and said, "A guest is coming."

Yes, there was a guest, and the identity of the guest was not simple. But what made Lu Shaohua wonder was why 'he' came, and why he came not earlier or later, but when he moved into the villa. He was secretly guessing in his heart. "Could it be that 'he' knew that we were moving to a new house today?" As soon as this thought came up, Lu Shaohua rejected it in his mind. You know, he didn't inform others when he moved into the villa.

Although it was strange, since the guests had come to his house, Lu Shaohua, as the host, had to greet them. When he walked out of the gate, he saw an Audi slowly driving in from outside the villa. As for the license plate number, Lu Shaohua couldn't see it clearly, but he could guess it without seeing it, because Li Shangkui had already told him that the license plate number was '粤b00002', which was the car of Zeng Aimin, the current mayor of Shenzhen and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

The reason why Li Shangkui knew that Zeng Aimin came was because of the license plate number, and the reason why he could find out that a car came in was because there were surveillance cameras installed outside the villa. In fact, there were surveillance cameras not only outside, but almost inside the building, but also inside the whole villa. These were installed by Li Shangkui and his four people in two days and two nights.

Standing at the door waiting for the Audi to stop steadily, Lu Shaohua greeted it with a smile. The person in the car was indeed Zeng Aimin. Seeing Lu Shaohua greeting him with a smile, Zeng Aimin also smiled.

"Haha, Uncle Zeng is here!" Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

"Well, if Wende hadn't told me this morning, I wouldn't have known that you moved into your new home today. Look, you're so busy that you only got here now." Zeng Aimin said with a smile.

Now Lu Shaohua understood everything. It turned out that it was Weng Wende who told him. At first he suspected that it was Lu Chang who told him. But now it didn't matter. The important thing was to invite Zeng Aimin in first. You couldn't just turn away a mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. "Uncle Zeng, please come in first. My parents are in there."

"Okay." Zeng Aimin said happily. Deep down, he had always been curious about what kind of parents could give birth to such an outstanding child like Lu Shaohua. When he heard that Lu Shaohua's parents were there, he couldn't help but want to get to know them.

After entering the villa, Lu Shaohua naturally introduced Zeng Aimin first, and then told Lu Jiayao about Zeng Aimin's identity. It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but Lu Jiayao was shocked when he heard it. What, the mayor of Shenzhen? For Lu Jiayao, who lived in the countryside, being able to meet the mayor was already a big official. As for the county head and mayor, it was impossible to meet them.

He shook hands with Zeng Aimin nervously, repeating the word "welcome".

"Haha! According to our age, I have to call you Brother Lu!" Zeng Aimin said affectionately.

"No, no, just call me by my name." Lu Jiayao said nervously. Are you kidding? The person standing in front of him is the mayor of the special economic zone. Having a mayor as a brother, that would be great. Lu Jiayao didn't dare to hope for such an identity.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything. He knew his father very well what kind of person he was. Not to mention meeting the mayor, even meeting the village committee secretary would make him nervous, not to mention meeting a big shot like Zeng Aimin now.

After a while of politeness, Lu Jiayao finally calmed down and chatted with Zeng Aimin about some unimportant issues, but his tone was still a little nervous and he was very careful when he spoke, for fear of offending Zeng Aimin accidentally. Zeng Aimin was a people-friendly official, and he did not speak in an official tone in front of Lu Jiayao. He chatted with Lu Jiayao very cordially and laughed heartily from time to time.

After chatting for a while, Zeng Aimin looked at the watch on his left hand and said apologetically, "Brother Lu, I have to go back. The municipal government has many documents waiting for me to process!"

"Oh? Then Mayor Zeng, please come over and sit down when you are free." Lu Jiayao stood up and said. No matter how Zeng Aimin called him brother, he didn't dare to really regard himself as the brother and just called him mayor.

Zeng Aimin was helpless about this. He didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."

Zeng Aimin was about to leave, and Lu Shaohua could not be rude, so he stood up and said, "Let me see you off." While saying this, Lu Shaohua also waved his hand to signal Lu Jiayao to sit down, as if to say to Lu Jiayao, "I'll see you off."

Lu Jiayao didn't say anything when his son did this. He sat back on the sofa and let Lu Shaohua send Zeng Aimin out.

After walking out of the door, Zeng Aimin seemed to have forgotten something. He patted his forehead and shouted loudly to the car parked outside the door. "Secretary Li, take the things out of the car."

Not long after, a young man wearing glasses got out of a black Audi. He should be the Secretary Li mentioned by Zeng Aimin. He was holding a packaging box about 40 centimeters long in his hand and walking towards Lu Shaohua and the others anxiously.

"Haha! Uncle Zeng, I don't have anything valuable to give you. This is a piece of calligraphy I wrote when I was free. Just consider it as a gift for you to move into your new home." Zeng Aimin said lightly.

"Thank you!" Lu Shaohua didn't say much. In Lu Shaohua's eyes, the value of the gift is secondary. What matters to him is the thought. Even if Zeng Aimin gave him something worth one dollar, Lu Shaohua would accept it with a smile, because his thought was enough.

"Well! Then I'll go back." Zeng Aimin said as he looked at the secretary who was walking over and asked him to hand the box to Lu Shaohua. Then he started to walk towards the car, but he stopped abruptly after taking two steps, turned around and said with a smile. "Yuling knows you're back. If she didn't have class today, she would have come with me. Go visit her at home when you have time, otherwise she'll make trouble with me again."

"Haha! I've been busy moving to a new house these days and don't have much time. Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday, so I'll go over." Speaking of Zeng Yuling, Lu Shaohua felt guilty. They only saw each other a few times a year. Originally, he planned to see her first thing when he came back this time, but the matters concerning the villa kept him busy for several days, so he forgot about it.

"Okay, I'll talk to her tonight. You can go back and be with your parents." After saying that, Zeng Aimin walked towards the car without looking back.

……

Zeng Aimin left, and Lu Shaohua went back to the hall and chatted with Lu Jiayao and the others for a while. It was already almost noon. Needless to say, there was free food in Weng Wende's restaurant, so Lu Shaohua took Lu Jiayao and the others to have lunch there.

During lunch, Lu Jiayao told Lu Shaohua about going back home. He had something to do at home, so he would stay for only one more day and leave for his hometown the next day. Lu Shaohua naturally wanted to ask them to stay for a few more days, but seeing Lu Jiayao's expression, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end, and only said that he would let Li Shangkui take them back.

After lunch, everyone returned to the villa. The family had very little time to be together, and now that they finally sat together, they naturally wanted to have a good chat. However, it was basically Lu Shaohua and Lu Jiayao who were talking, as Lu Shaopeng and Lu Xiaoxian didn't say more than ten sentences from beginning to end.

"Xiaohua, your sister said she won't study next semester. What do you think?" Lu Jiayao said in a negotiating tone.

No one knew why, but from the first day Lu Shaohua entered school, Lu Jiayao suddenly discovered that his younger son had changed and became like an adult. Later, a series of events happened, which made Lu Jiayao completely believe that his son was different from others. As for why this happened, Lu Jiayao couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Lu Shaohua had already asked Lu Xiaoxian before. If she didn't want to study, Lu Shaohua had no choice. He couldn't force her to study. "Dad, if she doesn't want to study, then don't study. Let her come to Shenzhen. I'll arrange something for her to study."

"But...but she is still young, only 17 years old. What can she learn outside?" Lu Jiayao said worriedly.

"Hey! Dad, sometimes you learn more from the outside world than from school. Since studying doesn't yield any results, it's not a bad thing to get in touch with society earlier!" Lu Shaohua said earnestly.

Lu Shaohua's view is different from others. What can one do with knowledge? Having knowledge only means that one's starting point is higher than others. If one cannot apply the knowledge flexibly, no matter how high the knowledge is, it is useless. As for starting one's own company or business, if one has a flexible mind, no matter how high the knowledge is, it is the same. In two words, it is useless.

"Can……"

"Hey, Dad, stop talking and listen to me first." Lu Shaohua waved his hand to interrupt Lu Jiayao's words, and then continued, "If a person wants to study, he will study hard even if you don't let him study. On the contrary, if he doesn't want to study, it's useless even if you force him."

"..." Lu Jiayao seemed a little unwilling, and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I don't care anymore. Let's come to Shenzhen after this semester."

Lu Shaohua nodded, without answering Lu Jiayao's words, turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoxian, and said, "Sister, then you can come down after this semester, and we'll talk about it then."

"Yeah." Lu Xiaoxian nodded seriously, with a bright light in her eyes, as if to tell people that she was very excited. Indeed, to her, the classroom was like a prison. She wanted to sleep as soon as she entered. As for what the teacher on the podium was saying, she couldn't hear it at all.

The matter was decided, and Lu Jiayao did not object, and turned the topic to Lu Shaopeng. "Your brother failed the high school entrance examination, and he will repeat the third year of junior high school this semester. He will take the high school entrance examination again in the middle of the year. What should we do if he fails again this time?"

Lu Shaohua smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Dad, don't worry. If my brother fails the exam again this time, he can repeat the year. If he still fails, I will find a way to arrange it."

Lu Shaohua had talked to Lu Shaopeng a long time ago. Since Lu Shaohua liked studying, of course he supported him. If he failed the entrance exam again, he could repeat it. If he still failed the entrance exam, with Lu Shaohua's current ability, I believe it would not be difficult to arrange a high school for him.

It can be said that the love of parents is pitiful. Lu Shaohua does not need Lu Jiayao, as a father, to worry about him, but Lu Shaopeng is different from Lu Xiaoxian. He still has to worry about him. With a heavy breath, Lu Jiayao said somewhat weakly. "Well, Dad can't do anything about it. You can arrange everything."

"Ok!"
