Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 35: Hope for a Successful Son

When Lu Jiayao learned that Yang Jianlong could find connections to enroll in school without a Hong Kong household registration, he began to ponder again. In fact, he asked these questions for Lu Shaohua's sake. In his mind, although Lu Shaohua was a very smart child, he was afraid that not going to school at such a young age would affect his future. Now that he heard Yang Jianlong say that the education in Hong Kong was far better than that in China, an idea came to his mind unconsciously.

"Xiaohua! Come here." Lu Jiayao felt that although the idea was good, it still needed the consent of the parties involved.

"Dad! What do you want from me?" Lu Shaohua came over lively.

"Sit down and talk." Lu Jiayao's tone was very calm, which made Lu Shaohua a little strange, because he had never seen Lu Jiayao like this before. However, since he was asked to sit down, he still obediently found a seat and sat down.

After Lu Shaohua sat down, Lu Jiayao spoke slowly. "Dad wants to send you to school. At your age, you can't not go to school. No matter how smart you are, you have to go to school, otherwise it will affect your future."

"Hey! I thought it was something else. Didn't my uncle agree last time that I don't have to go to class? Besides, what can our school teach me?" Lu Shaohua felt a little amused. He thought Lu Jiayao had something serious to talk to him about, so he pretended like that. He didn't expect it was about school.

In fact, Lu Jiayao was also helpless about Lu Chang's decision at the time, but he was a college student, and it was difficult for him, a "semi-illiterate", to say anything. Besides, the family had a heavy financial burden before, and it was indeed difficult to support three children in school at the same time. But now it is different. After a few months of running the fruit business, the family's savings have exceeded the one million mark, which can be said to be rich. (Of course, the so-called rich here is compared to those families with an annual income of 1,000 yuan.)

"We won't let you go to school at home this time. I just heard Brother Yang say that the education in Hong Kong is much better than in China, so Dad decided to send you to study there. I think your uncle will support this decision." Lu Jiayao was afraid that Lu Shaohua would disagree, so he even moved Lu Chang out, hoping that this would suppress him.

But Lu Jiayao had no idea what Lu Shaohua was thinking. He was extremely happy. He had been racking his brains over how to go to Hong Kong, and suddenly such a great opportunity came up. How could he give it up?

"Calm down! Calm down!" Lu Shaohua took a deep breath.

"Are you going to study in Hong Kong?" Although Lu Shaohua heard it clearly, he couldn't help but confirm it again.

"That's right, I'm going to study in Hong Kong. Brother Yang has connections, so I can study there without a Hong Kong household registration." Lu Jiayao looked at Yang Jianlong and blinked. The meaning was obvious. He was signaling Yang Jianlong to say something as well.

At this moment, Lu Shaohua was laughing wildly in his heart. Not only was the most troublesome problem solved, but Lu Jiayao was also looking for help to persuade him to go to Hong Kong to study. "No, although you can go to Hong Kong, you must get permission to transfer the money. But what excuse can you find for such a large sum of money...?"

"Brother Jiayao is right! Xiaohua, you should listen to your father and learn more knowledge. It won't be wrong to go to Hong Kong to study." Yang Jianlong got a hint from Lu Jiayao and also advised. In fact, it would be very beneficial for Lu Shaohua to go to Hong Kong to study. If Lu Shaohua agrees to go, as long as he is taken care of, it will be a great achievement, and it will further consolidate the relationship with Lu Jiayao's family. After tasting the sweetness of last year, he is preparing to expand the sales points again this year. Of course, the expansion requires a lot of fruit, and Lu Jiayao is his only supplier. If the supply is cut off, he will have no business.

"You can go to Hong Kong to study, but..." Lu Shaohua stopped speaking halfway.

Seeing that Lu Shaohua agreed, Lu Jiayao was ecstatic, but Lu Shaohua stopped talking halfway, which made him a little anxious. "But what?"

"Dad, you know that Hong Kong has a developed economy, so consumption is naturally high. Plus, it takes a long time to study there, and renting a house is not cost-effective. We have to buy a house, and buying a house costs at least 700,000 or 800,000. Add to that food and clothing, and it will cost at least two or three million." Lu Shaohua just thought of this idea. Buying a house, yes, buying a house, of course, requires a lot of money.

Speaking of needing so much money, Lu Jiayao fell into deep thought. He had not considered it very comprehensively. He just considered simply studying, with some tuition, food and accommodation expenses. However, after Lu Shaohua's calculation, he realized that what he had calculated was just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu Jiayao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a compromise, because the money needed was too much. He had only earned more than 2 million since he started selling lychees, but the money Lu Shuihua needed was too much, 2 or 3 million. But after thinking for a long time, he decided to send Lu Shaohua to study in Hong Kong. It's really pitiful for parents in the world, and there is no parent who doesn't want their children to be successful.

"Okay, you can go to Hong Kong to study in September tomorrow." In his mind, he made more than two million in less than eight months of selling fruits in the first year, and that was without any experience. But this year is different. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. With the first experience, it will be much easier this time. In addition, he can vaguely hear Yang Jianlong's intention to expand during the conversation, so Lu Jiayao believes that the money he will make this year will definitely be much more than last year.

Lu Shaohua was relieved to get Lu Jiayao's answer, but at the same time, he had to admire Lu Jiayao's courage. How could he not admire a man who could give up almost all of his wealth for his son? He couldn't help but ask himself if he could give up as much as Lu Jiayao, but the final answer was that he couldn't do it.

"Thank you, Dad!" I said thank you, but in my heart I secretly added: "I'm sorry."

"Haha! You're welcome. By September next year, I believe our family's savings will have doubled. Even if I give you three million by then, we will still have one million. Money is something that you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die..." Lu Jiayao still spoke so calmly, as if three million was just a drop in the bucket for him.

"Haha, with the first year's experience, I will definitely earn more this year." Lu Shaohua said very firmly.

"Haha! By the way, I'm worried about letting you go to Hong Kong alone. Ask Brother Guobang to go with you. He can take care of you there." Lu Jiayao had seen Chen Guobang's skills. On the one hand, he asked him to accompany Lu Shaohua to protect him, and on the other hand, he could take care of his daily life. After all, Lu Shaohua is still a child in their eyes.

"Okay! But..." Lu Shaohua had originally planned to take Chen Guobang with him, but Lu Jiayao took the initiative to bring it up, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"But what?"

"Brother Guobang doesn't have a visa." Lu Shaohua just remembered that Chen Guobang didn't have a visa. As for the fact that he had a visa, Lu Jiayao and the others already knew about it.

"The visa can be obtained. There is still more than half a year left, so there is no rush." ​​Lu Jiayao is rich now, and he has more confidence in doing anything. Money makes the world go round.

"Um!"
