Chapter 607 Changes in Third Uncle

This year’s Spring Festival is bound to be more lively.

The main reason is that the third uncle has taken up a leadership position, and the eldest brother Lu Changzhong is also expected to take a further step.

After New Year's Day, Lu Changhua and his wife were busy with New Year celebrations.

Although he doesn't have to worry about new year's goods, he still has to prepare new clothes for children and adults, firecrackers and fireworks at home.

There were still more than ten days before New Year's Eve, so Lao Lu took everyone back.

Especially children like Nuomi, they all yearn to return to their hometown, where they can play with ice and snow to their heart's content, and release their childishness without restraint.

Every household starts cleaning as soon as they come home.

Since the summer vacation, no one has lived in the villa.

A thin layer of dust has fallen over these days.

Lu Changhua and Wang Yao wore simple hats made of newspapers on their heads, held brooms in their hands, and raised their necks to exert force against the cobwebs and dust on the roof.

While I was busy working, I heard someone shouting, "Yao, your third uncle's phone number!"

Wang Yao's sharp ears heard the shouting first.

She ran out and shouted: "Mom? What did you say?"

"Your third uncle called."

"Third uncle?"

Wang Yao blinked and suddenly remembered her third uncle in Heihe, but she hadn't contacted him for a while.

"Who is it?"

When Lu Changhua saw that the main labor force was making excuses to go out, he quickly followed him and asked.

"Third uncle called."

Seeing his mother-in-law handing the phone over the courtyard wall, Lu Changhua reached out to take it and handed it to his wife.

Since he was looking for Wang Yao, he couldn't overstep his authority.

"Hey, third uncle? I haven't seen you for a few years. How is your health now?"

"Haha, Yao, my health is not good now and I have already retreated."

"Just quit, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"That's true."

Zhou Shude had something on his mind, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Third uncle, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Haha, it's not a big deal."

Seeing Wang Yao take the initiative to mention it, he reluctantly spoke out.

"Just tell me if you have anything."

"Oh. I don't want to stay in Heihe anymore. The climate here is too cold and my trachea is not good. I want to be closer to you."

"Okay, this is a good thing. Have you told my mother?"

"Your mother wants to discuss it with you."

"Then what are we discussing? The house at home is also vacant. Come on."

"Hey, then I'll come and stay for a few days."

Wang Yao didn't ask her third uncle why he didn't live with his cousin.

There is no way to ask about this.

Since people don't say it, there must be something unspeakable.

Seeing that Wang Yao agreed, Ms. Wang returned the call with a smile.

Seeing that my uncle was still blank-eyed and didn't know what was going on, she said with a smile: "Your third uncle is going to stay here for two days."

"Oh, third uncle, we haven't seen each other for several years. How is he now?"

"My health is not good and I want to live closer to me."

The mother-in-law said this, and Lu Changhua couldn't say anything else.

What's more, my wife has already agreed.

The two returned to the house to continue cleaning.

Neither of them mentioned the third uncle's coming.

During lunch, Lu Changhua asked: "My third uncle is coming, do you need us to pick him up?"

"I'll ask in detail later."

She didn't say who to ask.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu said: "So, the Chinese New Year will be even more lively this year."

"Yes, parents, my third uncle is coming this year. He has also retired and wants to be closer to my mother."

"It's better to be close, so we can take care of each other."

"Mom, who is coming?"

Nuomi asked, and several other children were also curious.

"Your third uncle and grandpa are coming."

"Third uncle and grandpa? Have I seen him?"

"I saw it when you were a child."

"Have I seen it?"

Sheng Yu asked, stretching his neck.

"I've seen it before, when I was a kid."

"Oh."

The two children blinked. In their memories, they could not remember that they had a third uncle.

After lunch, Lu Changhua told his parents to go to the next door to inquire about the situation, and took Wang Yao away.

When Wang Dejiang and his wife saw the girl's uncle coming, they asked, "Have you eaten?"

"just ate."

Lu Changhua took out a cigarette and handed it to his father-in-law.

"Dad, my third uncle is coming? What's going on?"

Wang Dejiang had opinions about this brother-in-law.

Five years ago, Zhou Shude came to borrow money, and he borrowed it for more than five years. He has not mentioned repaying the money yet, making himself short of breath in front of his uncle. What do you think this is? !

He was unhappy.

It's not that he's afraid that his brother-in-law will take advantage of him, but that he's angry that he hasn't moved around these years. After borrowing the money, the person will be gone.

"How do I know? You have to ask your mother."

Lu Changhua and Wang Yao looked at the old lady again.

"Ugh."

Mama Wang sighed.

"Your third uncle, didn't you do business with Changhua several times before? I even borrowed 50 from you."

"That was all five years ago."

Wang Dejiang reminded. "He told me that it hasn't been easy for him these past few years."

"Your third uncle contracted a few years ago and earned some money. Then your cousin got married. He spent a lot of money."

"Later on, business became difficult and I lost a lot of money. I still don't have any money to pay you back."

Mother Wang said in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Mom, don't mention this."

It is impossible for Lu Changhua to blame his mother-in-law because of money.

"Who knew that after he retired, he couldn't get along with your cousin and the others, so he came to me and asked me to come and stay for a few days."

"I'm afraid it won't be a matter of a few days. You have to explain the matter clearly to Changhua, so as not to make everyone look bad."

Wang Dejiang was a bit rude when talking about his brother-in-law.

"Yes, to put it bluntly, your third uncle has no place to go, so that's what comes to mind. Changhua, do you think he can come?"

Looking at his mother-in-law's face, Lu Changhua knew that she was also in a dilemma.

On one side is his biological brother, on the other side is the girl’s uncle.

"It's okay if Third Uncle comes alone. I can live with you. As long as you are willing, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing that my uncle relaxed, Mrs. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Wang Dejiang and said, "Master, what do you think?"

"Hey, what can I say? I've already told you that this guy is not pragmatic. Look, it's true."

Mother Wang looked ugly.

Lu Changhua looked at Wang Yao and said, "It would be better if my third uncle is here, and I can be a companion with you."

"Yes, just come. There are not many people in our family?!"

Wang Yao said with a smile.

"That cousin of yours is nothing!"

Wang Dejiang said angrily, got up and left.

Soon I heard Wang Dejiang and Lao Lu talking in the yard.

"Mom, don't be like my dad. Calm down."

Wang Yao quickly advised.

"Humph, your father had opinions about your third uncle when he was young. Now, alas!"

"Mom, please ask if you want us to pick her up."

"It's best to pick him up, otherwise it won't be convenient for him to come here."

"Okay, I'll pick it up. Mom, tell your third uncle and ask him to get everything ready."

Lu Changhua and Wang Yao went home and said hello, saying that they would go to Heihe to pick up their third uncle.

"Okay, you stay in Heihe for one night and come back slowly tomorrow."

The two drove away, heading straight to Heihe.

It was late at night before the couple drove into downtown HH.

The two found a room in a hotel and quickly went to bed to rest.

It was around ten o'clock the next morning before the two of them got up.

Lu Changhua made a phone call to Zhou Shude.

"Third uncle, it's me, Changhua."

"Ouch, Changhua, where are you?"

"I've reached the Black River."

"Huh? I thought you were just leaving today, but I didn't expect you would be here now!"

Zhou Shude's voice was a little old.

"Third uncle, we haven't seen each other for several years. Are you feeling well?"

"Speaking of which, my health is not good."

"Third uncle, I'll drive to pick you up and then we'll have a meal before setting off."

"Okay, you should know about my family, right?"

"know."

Lu Changhua had been there before.

Wang Yao was washing and putting on makeup in the hotel, while Lu Changhua drove straight to his third uncle's house.

Lu Changhua was shocked when the two met.

The shrewd and capable Zhou Shude back then disappeared.

He turned out to be white-haired and trembling when he walked.

Also coughing from time to time.

"Oh, Third Uncle, how did you become like this?!"

"Oh, it's hard to say!"

Zhou Shude let Lu Changhua into the house.

The two men chatted for a while.

Lu Changhua also didn’t mention repaying the money.

Why?

Now Zhou Shude has no ability to pay back the money at all.

Of course, he didn't see the cousin either.

Seeing that Zhou Shude was unwilling to mention his son, Lu Changhua would not take the initiative to mention his son.

"Let's go, I'll take those things you need to take with you."

Zhou Shude had already packed two big bags, which were all a change of clothes.

Lu Changhua made two trips.

Finally, he helped Zhou Shude go downstairs.

When we arrived at the hotel, we met Wang Yao.

When Wang Yao came downstairs, she was shocked and at a loss to see her third uncle.

"Third Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Yao cried.

She ran over and hugged Zhou Shude while crying.

She never expected that her third uncle would become like this.

Zhou Shude and Wang Yao hugged each other and cried.

Lu Changhua felt uncomfortable on the side.

The Zhou Shude in front of him is not the same person as the third uncle who came to borrow money a few years ago.

The changes in the past few years are also a reflection of Zhou Shude's life.

"Let's go and eat. There's no obstacle that we can't overcome. I've got everything!"
