794: Chapter 780: Going Ho and Moving House 794: Chapter 780: Going Ho and Moving House “Hehe, your dad is already old, but he still wants to compete with the young people by carrying that bag of grains on his back…
See?
There he is, lying down.”
Listening to his mother’s words, Lu Ping’an felt increasingly subtle.
As soon as he got ho and didn’t see the old man smoking at the doorway as usual, he felt a little uneasy, especially when he entered the room and saw the old man lying on the bed.
As it turned out, the old man had strained his back trying to show off while doing farm work.
After pondering for a mont, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but ask a rhetorical question.
“Didn’t I send money ho?
Why are you still doing farm work?”
“Your father isn’t dead yet!
Am I supposed to wait for death if I don’t work?!”
As always, the angry roar from inside the house was full of energy, which also reassured Lu Ping’an quite a bit.
“What’s the matter?
Can’t you just talk when your son is back ho for the short ti?” Mom took the initiative to defend her son and snapped back.
“Alright, alright, actually, I have sothing to discuss with the family this ti…”
The unfamiliar countryside scenery and the rare leisure ti made the always tense Lu Ping’an finally take a break.
It was mid-December 1998, and if it hadn’t been for an unforeseen circumstance, Lu Ping’an planned to take a good vacation here and return to the city after New Year’s Day.
He was also looking forward to whether sothing “unknown” would happen in the upcoming 1999.
However, before leaving, the officials had a talk with him, which greatly shortened his vacation.
“Move?
There’s no need!
I’m doing well here!”
The old man’s unchanging dominance was as expected by Lu Ping’an.
“I’ve made a great contribution this ti, and there will be an official award ceremony soon.
The mayor will also attend.
It wouldn’t be good if you guys aren’t there.
Besides, they’re going to reward with a house in the municipal governnt compound, and soone has to help watch over it…”
Lu Ping’an didn’t say anything about how it would be better to live in the city.
He wanted to ask his parents for “help.”
“These are the docunts of the company I just opened.
Now my business is getting bigger and I’m always traveling.
I need soone to help look after it.
All you have to do is keep an eye on it.
I don’t have any other relatives here, so I can’t really make them rich, but arranging a few jobs shouldn’t be a problem.
However, I need reliable people, and there aren’t any special privileges…”
“You don’t understand?
It’s enough if you’re here.
At least help hold the scene, otherwise, people will say I’m nepotistic, and I won’t be able to do business well.”
All these were real docunts, and Lu Ping’an had already rented a small shop in the city and hired service employees.
His exotic harvest, Craftsman Fang’s products, and the products of the courtyard factory all needed a proper distribution channel.
Since the club’s nature was a Chamber of Comrce, setting up a legitimate store was required.
In ti, the old man would have a place to pass the ti.
When Lu Ping’an casually asked, “Do we have any relatives?”, the results seed quite subtle.
There were quite a few originally, but after Lu Ping’an fell ill and kept borrowing money, there were only a few left.
Surprisingly, so families were very aningful.
One borrowed thirty thousand, another borrowed fifty thousand, and a more affluent one borrowed one hundred thousand…
At that ti, they probably hadn’t expected the Lu family to repay the loans.
After Lu Ping’an recovered, when it was ti to return the money, both parents went to each family to thank them personally.
Of course, each family had its own situation, and it’s normal not to want to lend money if they weren’t well-off.
The Lu family didn’t harbor any resentnt…
But the few families that helped in tis of need were even more precious.
“Oh, there’s also a cousin and a distant cousin in the state…
I got it.”
These favors needed to be rembered, and Lu Ping’an nodded, planning to visit these relatives when he had ti.
Of course, these were all just excuses, and ultimately, Lu Ping’an wanted his parents to move to the city.
As a “prepaid reward,” the municipal governnt did give Lu Ping’an a house, and it was in the municipal governnt compound.
Regardless of the living conditions in that area, the security was obviously the best in the ancient city, with professional warriors on guard daily…
But of course, there is no absolutely safe area in this world.
But being located next to the municipal governnt’s “dormitory area,” if anything happened to the city, it would be the top priority for rescue.
The safety there should be reliable.
Lu Ping’an knows that sooner or later, he will attract opponents and enemies while working outside, just like what happened with Hod company this ti.
They might have put him on their list.
With this in mind, it’s better to be prepared in advance than to expose one’s “weaknesses”.
Even though the “security” here is good, it can’t be better than in the city.
In fact, it was Lu Ping’an’s own request, and the other party agreed decisively and warmly.
Lu Ping’an’s “stance” is quite stable.
Under the current situation, he does need to strengthen ties with local officials.
If his parents are protected by soone, he would feel more at ease.
As for their own wishes?
Lu Ping’an is working hard on persuading them now.
There are much better healthcare and infrastructure facilities in the city.
If they still want to farm, it wouldn’t be difficult for Lu Ping’an to find a piece of land for them.
However, the persuasion is still making slow progress, and his parents keep coming up with various reasons, simply not wanting to go.
Lu Ping’an knows that there are mainly two reasons.
First, they don’t want to be a burden on him.
In their eyes, he’s still just a 17-year-old kid, even though he has accomplished a lot.
He’s doing well?
Then he should take advantage of the montum and continue to work hard.
Second, it’s the idea shared by most parents in Eastern Country: they want to save money for their children.
Can’t they really leave the land?
Want to farm?
It’s actually quite hard work.
Maybe so people genuinely enjoy farming, but many persevere just to earn more money for their sons’ college tuition/wives/grandchildren.
With Lu Ping’an holding millions in savings, they still doubt him.
After so negotiation, they reluctantly believe him but worry about him falling short.
“We’ll help you save more.
In case sothing happens to you again like last ti…”
“There’s always a ti when you need money.
While we can still work, we’d better save more.
That’s always good…”
His parents are unchanging, which makes Lu Ping’an increasingly helpless.
It’s really hard to deal with such well-aning stubbornness.
“It looks like Plan B is needed…”
Lu Ping’an chuckled and tried another tactic.
“I’m barely a boss now.
It’s normal for to have a girlfriend, and I plan to get married in two years.
I’ll have a child soon and you’ll help with that, right?
Uh, maybe it won’t take two years, even half a year is possible…”
When it ca to starting a family, his parents were instantly serious.
In half a year, they would have a grandchild?
Well, making a “humanoid creature” was actually not difficult for Lu Ping’an, and it didn’t require the usual birth.
If necessary, he could use Zhi Xi.
As for the “girlfriend,” it’s even simpler.
He could just find soone from his team to fake it.
Based on their appearances, they all seed suitable.
“How about you get used to city life first?
This will make it easier for you to help take care of my baby when it’s born…”
Grandchildren are the ultimate weapon to the elderly in so sense.
While they were surprised that Lu Ping’an planned to harm other families’ daughters, his parents were sowhat tempted.
In a couple of years, Lu Ping’an would be almost 20, and it’s pretty normal to get married at this age in the countryside.
Will there be a grandchild in half a year?
Well, although it seems a little illegal, their expectation outweighs any concerns.
At last, Lu Ping’an’s persuasion succeeded.
As more sleep would bring more dreams, he decided to move now.
With Lu Ping’an’s help, moving was a very fast process, and everything was settled quickly.
Before returning to the city, Lu Ping’an visited his relatives and went to see his cousin’s family.
He also left contact information, so they could get in touch if they wanted to move to the city as well.
Lu Ping’an promised to talk to one of his cousins who was studying in the city.
Only then did he learn that his cousin’s family in the State had developed quite well and occasionally returned to their hotown for a visit.
“The State, huh…”
This ti, Lu Ping’an’s task commissioned by the municipal governnt was to go on a business trip to the State.
Maybe he could visit his cousin.
“But I haven’t settled things outside yet, and now there’s already a fight within the State.
Well, that’s quite normal.”
