Chapter 255: Grudges
When Yan Bugui, an old resident of the courtyard, was busy cleaning his most treasured Phoenix brand bicycle, he saw Lu Weimin and a strange man coming in. He immediately stopped what he was doing, walked up to him and greeted him:
"Hey, Weimin, long time no see! I'm so happy to see you. Who is the friend next to you?"
Lu Weimin replied, "This is Master Chen we invited. He was introduced by Zhuzi's wife Liu Lan. He is a craftsman who specializes in plastering. This time, the renovation of the house will be handed over to him. Master Chen, this is an old figure in our courtyard. Uncle Yan, there may be many things in the future renovation and reconstruction projects that require your care!"
Upon hearing this, Master Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said respectfully to Yan Bugui: "Hello, uncle, I will definitely need your help in the future, and I hope you will take care of it!"
This attitude made Yan Bugui feel very welcome, and he said happily: "Wei Min's family affairs are also our family's affairs. If you have any questions, just come to me directly!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Weimin accompanied Master Chen into the house in the ** area of the yard, opened the door, and began to measure the dimensions. The news quickly spread throughout the yard, and people expressed great envy for Lu Weimin's family who was about to start the renovation project.
Due to the lack of financial ability and tickets to purchase related items, many families have similar wishes but are unable to realize them.
Upon hearing the news of Lu Weimin's return, many neighbors came out and approached him. Lu Weimin instantly became the focus of the crowd, everyone laughed continuously, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Obviously, Lu Weimin was highly respected and loved in this courtyard. At the same time, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, a couple from the Jia family, heard about this and inevitably felt some envy and even jealousy. Not long after,
The front area of the yard was once again bustling with activity.
The reason was that the news that Zhuzi and Liu Lan returned home with their newborn baby spread quickly.
In the past, the residents here often joked and laughed at Zhuzi and Liu Lan, saying that they would always be sons-in-law and fathers-in-law, and believed that they would never have children. Whenever Liu Lan heard such words, she would feel sad and angry. For this reason, the couple became more determined to welcome the continuation of their bloodline.
Now, the couple finally welcomed the birth of their son, and they immediately brought him home to announce to everyone that their child had been born. When the people around them saw that Sha Zhu and Liu Lan had a son as they wished, they were very surprised and congratulated them one after another.
The parents were overjoyed. It was such a great feeling to have a son!
"What? You said Shazhu and Liu Lan have a son?" When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu heard the news, their faces were filled with disappointment. They were originally very proud of their son, but now this sense of superiority was completely shattered.
When Sha Zhu and Liu Lan returned home, they happened to meet Lu Weimin and Master Chen. They were surprised and delighted. "Oh, Brother Weimin! You are planning to start decorating your new house!"
Lu Weimin nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am planning to do the preparatory work. First, I will ask the mason to measure the dimensions, so that I can start planning the decoration design, and then I will start the decoration."
Hearing this, Sha Zhu and Liu Lan could not help but show envy, thinking that Lu Weimin would soon be able to move into the renovated new house. The surrounding residents were very surprised to learn that this neighbor could design the home decoration plan himself, and they praised Lu Weimin for being not only smart and capable, but also all-round.
After the measurement work was completed, Lu Weimin returned home and began to work on the home decoration design plan that evening. At the same time, he also discussed the specific details with his wife, Sister Fei, Xiaohan and other female relatives.
A private bathing space is an integral part of the new house, and good sound insulation is also a key point. In addition, he plans to adopt the most modern wiring plan and pre-plan the space and socket layout required for the installation of various household appliances in the future...
Lu Weimin's unique design inspiration and his detailed decoration plan amazed every female member of the family. Soon, the whole family agreed with this decoration plan.
About three days later,
All the materials needed for the renovation were moved to the yard. Master Chen led an assistant into the yard and officially started the work.
As for the furniture inside the house, Lu Weimin had already ordered people to move it to another place for temporary storage. Due to the multitude of tasks, Lu Weimin himself had no time to monitor the construction site all the time.
Only Sister Fei offered to help supervise the progress of the project in her spare time. In addition, Lu Weimin entrusted Yan Bugui to help look after it. Yan Bugui was thinking about how to win Lu Weimin's favor, and he happily agreed to it when he heard the request. When teaching, he asked his family to supervise on his behalf, as if he was treating his own affairs with care.
Since then, neighbors in the courtyard often saw a jeep carrying Sister Fei to the construction site to inspect the progress of the renovation. Her charming and elegant image soon became a unique landscape in this courtyard.
Whenever the residents passed by Lu Weimin's courtyard on their way to or from get off work, they would always feel delighted and excited when they saw the beautiful Sister Fei.
Li Jing would also come to check on the mother and daughter after get off work. The picture of mother and daughter in the same frame aroused enthusiastic response from everyone.
The topic of small talk always revolves around two beautiful ladies: Sister Fei or Director Li, who is more outstanding?
Some people prefer Li Jing, while others support Sister Fei. However, the consensus is that Sister Fei is more plump than her daughter.
in a blink,
The decoration work had been going on for quite some time. On this day, Sha Zhu and Liu Lan returned home with their child and informed that they would hold a birthday party for their youngest son He Hu at the hotel the day after tomorrow. This time it would no longer be held in the yard, but in the restaurant run by Li Zhao.
The news made the neighbors feel happy and envious. "Look, how cool is this dual-income family, and they are organizing a birthday party for their child!" "They will definitely not invite the Jia family!" "Of course not!" "The He family and the Jia family have always had a grudge against each other."
Indeed, when they heard that Sha Zhu and Liu Lan were going to hold another big birthday party for their child and obviously did not intend to invite them, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu looked quite embarrassed. "Madam, you should also quickly give me a son. When he turns one year old, we will hold a big banquet for the child and make the scene lively. We will never invite Sha Zhu's family! Let them suffer!" Jia Dongxu said to his wife.
When Qin Huairu heard this, a hint of joy flashed across her face, but then her face darkened: "How can we afford to hold a full-month banquet now? Where can we get the money and the receipt?"
You're right! The family's financial situation is indeed stretched! Despite facing this reality, Jia Dongxu still gritted his teeth and comforted her, saying: "There will always be a solution when the time comes, and there will be money by then! The most important thing now is that you have to get pregnant!"
Sunday.
After attending the full moon party for Liu family’s youngest son and returning home, Lu Weimin immediately drove Xiaohan back to school.
"Xiao Han, who was that male friend who came with you just now? He's so handsome! And your family even has a private jeep!" said the classmate with jealous eyes.
Xiaohan proudly replied: "He is my brother, Weimin!" "Is your brother also a bachelor's degree graduate?"
"Yes! He graduated from Tsinghua University and is currently the chief engineer of a large factory!" "Wow, your brother is so outstanding! Does he have a girlfriend? Introduce one to us!" "My brother has been married for a long time, and his son is more than four years old!"
"Oh! Are you married? He still looks quite young!" When the classmate heard that Lu Weimin was married, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Lu Weimin returned home after sending Xiaohan safely to school. His wife Li Jing and mother-in-law were playing table tennis in the courtyard.
Lu Weimin joined them and played games together.
About an hour later,
After bathing and cleaning, he went into the study to continue reading and studying. [Mechanical Equipment Skill Enhancement Level 1]
[Mechanical equipment skill enhancement level 1] [Mechanical equipment skill enhancement level 1]
Ever since aerospace engineering technology capabilities reached top level.
Lu Weimin also planned to improve his mechanical equipment skills to the top level, but he didn't have much time to study tonight.
In the room where Lu Weimin and his wife lived, his mother-in-law was also there.
Li Jing was particularly happy tonight and was in an extremely good mood.
After more than a month of abstinence in preparation for pregnancy, she was particularly pleased now that they were finally able to be intimate again.
Of course, his mother knew about Lu Weimin's abstinence measures in preparation for pregnancy, and is currently helping Li Jing choose the right night clothes. Although the two have been partners for many years, it is still very important to maintain a sense of formal beauty in life.
So, Li Jing tried on one set of pajamas after another, and her mother-in-law gave her suggestions one by one. In the end, the two of them chose a set of styles that they were both satisfied with.
My mother-in-law suggested buying some more underwear.
"What? You still have to pick out underwear? They will be taken off soon!" Li Jing was surprised. Her mother-in-law smiled and replied, "Listen, mom is experienced in this area, you won't suffer any loss!"
Li Jing agreed with her mother-in-law's opinion: "Okay! Let's pick one!"
Of course, this time they didn't try them one by one, but took out a few to compare and see how they felt. Soon, they chose another set.
"Okay! Mom is leaving! Jingjing, I believe you will be able to successfully conceive a second child this time! I wish you good luck! When your second baby is born, I will help take care of him!" The mother-in-law looked at her daughter lovingly and encouraged her.
"Mom, thank you! You are really nice! I love you!" Li Jing was deeply moved and threw herself into her mother-in-law's arms.
"No, Jingjing! Mom was not nice to you and I let you down!" The mother-in-law hugged her daughter, gently stroked her back, and felt guilty.
When Lu Weimin walked in and saw this scene, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Why are your eyes full of tears? What happened?"
