Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property

Chapter 367 The Big House

Lu Jiaxin went back to visit the grave this time, not alone, but with Gu Xiuxiu. The original plan was for her to move her grave during the Qingming Festival, so Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong would take her there. Because the Feng Shui master chose the sixth month of the lunar calendar, he arranged to go back to Sijiucheng with her.

Since it was arranged in advance, He Bin and Zhang Sining waited outside the airport after leaving the airport. For the convenience of traveling, Lu Jiaxin bought a Crown car after some consideration. This car was bought by He Bin.

The big house has been repaired. I didn’t stay in a hotel this time when I went back. The car drove directly into the Wujin big house in Shichahai.

After the house was repaired, someone was hired to look after the house, but the door remained closed because the owner was away. Lu Jiaxin and Gu Xiuxiu were coming back today, so the door was open early in the morning.

 The car could be driven directly in, but Lu Jiaxin asked the driver to stop at the door, and then helped Gu Xiuxiu out of the car.

Hong Gu, Mei Gu and others got out of the car and were shocked when they saw the gate.

The gate of the house is tall and majestic. The four large characters "Lu Family Courtyard" hang in the center. The fonts are strong and powerful. They shine with golden light under the sun, making it look very majestic.

Lu Jiaxin and Mei Gu said, "The weather is nice today. Let's help my aunt walk in and take a look at the view of the house."

How can Mei Gu have two words?

 After entering the gate, everyone saw a wide courtyard with pines and cypresses planted along the walls. The house has carved beams and painted pillars, and the columns, doors and windows are also carved with exquisite patterns.

 Honggu’s eyes widened. She heard Gu Mei say that the houses in Sijiucheng were big and beautiful, but she didn't think so. Mainly because she came here two years ago and the impression that Sijiucheng gave her was that it was dusty. She never expected this house to be so luxurious.

The first courtyard that she entered was the main hall that Lu Jiaxin left for banquets; the second one was for her to live in. According to Lu Jiaxin's request, all the antique furniture that she had bought was placed there, and the pedestal bed in the bedroom was even more beautiful. It's Qiao Seize the Sky. She fell in love with it the last time she came here. The third courtyard is for Gu Xiuxiu. Considering that she is old and often confused, the furniture used is sofas and round tables and chairs. The corners were wrapped in cloth, and the decoration was similar to her bedroom in Hong Kong City. There is a stage in the fourth entrance, and Lu Jiaxin asked it to be kept. If Gu Xiuxiu is bored, she can dance in the square or invite people to come here to sing and tell stories. There are no arrangements for the fifth entrance yet, but there are two big trees next to the house. , and close to the pond in the back garden, it is very cool, so it will be very comfortable to live here in summer.

The most beautiful thing about this house is the back garden, with pavilions, bridges and flowing water. The scenery inside is completely imitated by Suzhou gardens.

After reading it, Mei Gu asked: "Miss Cousin, didn't this house cost a lot of money to repair?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "My aunt paid for the initial expenses. It cost about 200,000 yuan to buy the house and repair it. I spent about 100,000 yuan later."

Mei Gu is also a discerning person and asked in disbelief: "This house only cost 300,000 from the inside out? How can it be so cheap?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "It is indeed three hundred thousand, but I am talking about Chinese dollars, which is equivalent to about one million Hong Kong dollars. However, this three hundred thousand is only the purchase price and the cost of repairing the house. The furniture and ornaments purchased must be It’s far more than this amount.”

Just the sliding bed costs tens of thousands, and there are golden sandalwood, rosewood and other furniture. The furniture in her yard alone costs more than 200,000.

Mei Gu thinks this is normal. When we entered the hospital, we saw that the furniture in the old lady's room was not cheap at all. Three hundred thousand Chinese dollars was not worth it. The mainland is poor, but there are many smart people with vision. With the precedent of Lu Jiaxin, she would not dare to look down on anyone in the mainland.

 There is a large pool in this house, the kind that can be used for rowing. The pond was full of water, but it was surrounded by barbed wire.

Lu Jiaxin and Mei Gu explained: "My aunt is like this. I originally wanted to drain the water in the pool so that it would be safe. But He Bin said that water represents wealth and cannot be drained, otherwise it will be a bad sign. Surround it with barbed wire. It’s safer this way.”

"Aunt Mei, He Bin has already found two nursing staff, both of whom are very professional. When the time comes, you and Aunt Mei will each bring a nursing staff to follow your aunt, so it will be easier." This arrangement is very good, Aunt Mei no disagreement.

 For dinner in the evening, I invited a master chef who is good at cooking Shanghai cuisine. What Gu Xiuxiu misses most in Hong Kong City is Shanghainese food, and she always talks about it in front of Lu Jiaxin.

Gu Xiuxiu ate happily. If Mei Gu hadn't stopped her in time, she would have eaten to her heart's content.

 After eating, Gu Xiuxiu put down her bowls and chopsticks and ran to the back garden.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Boss, Ms. Gu's condition is getting more serious."

“There is no way, this disease cannot be cured.” Lu Jiaxin said.

 Let alone now, it will not be cured more than thirty years later. It can only be controlled with medication. Then the condition becomes more and more serious and no one knows anyone.

Seeing the sadness on her face, Gu Wenfeng immediately changed the subject: "Boss, you didn't say you wanted to hire some bodyguards last time. Do you think we need more bodyguards now? If so, I'll ask them to come for an interview tomorrow afternoon."

He knew that Lu Jiaxin had to go to school on Monday, go to the grave tomorrow, and have to rush back the day after, so he had no time to stay.

He Bin has hired three strong men to look after the house and the courtyard. However, he was recruited through the hotel manager. Lu Jiaxin was not at ease and planned to recruit a few retired soldiers.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Let them all come. If it's good, let them all stay."

“I will inform them later and ask them to come over after lunch tomorrow.”

"Can."

Sleeping on the step-by-step bed at night, Lu Jiaxin thought she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't expect to sleep soundly after climbing up. When she woke up the next morning, she heard that the three brothers Lu Jiaguang and Lu Jiazong were here, and the whole family was here, no one missing.

I knew they were tired after traveling all day yesterday, so I didn’t come over.

Lu Jiaxin washed up and went to the front yard. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw a lot of people. Not only the three brothers, but also the children were brought.

As soon as Second Sister-in-law Lu saw her, she couldn't wait to ask: "Jiaxin, I heard the eldest brother at the gate saying that this house has five entrances. When did you buy such a big house? I never heard you mention it. Woolen cloth?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "My aunt bought this house for me, and I hired someone to repair it after I bought it. Because the house needs a long time to grow, it was not ready until the end of September last year."

After finishing speaking, she asked: "I want to have breakfast. You can go in and take a look around. But don't go to the third courtyard. My aunt lives there. She will be angry if you make any noise."

Second Sister-in-law Lu wanted to know how big the house was: "Jiaxin, then I won't be polite to you."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "As a family, being too polite only shows our dignity."
