They first went to Lu Zixin's uncle's house, which was also in He County. When they arrived, Lu Zixin was surprised to find that his uncle's two-story house had become a five-story bungalow. There were even two cars parked at the door.
"Uncle's house was renovated?" Lu Zixin asked.
"That's right. Your cousin has been doing very well these past few years. This house was built by him this year." Shen Man explained.
Lu Zixin's cousin, Lu Jun, was not good at studying when he was young. After he finished junior high school, he went out to work. Therefore, Lu Zixin was often compared to Lu Jun in his family. Especially his aunt, who liked to lecture him the most.
When Lu Zixin's family arrived, someone at the door noticed them. It was his cousin, Lu Jun, who was smoking at the door.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Happy New Year!" Lu Jun smiled and greeted them. He was wearing branded clothes and a branded watch. His hair was shiny, and he probably used a lot of wax.
"Happy New Year," Lu Yue and Shen Man greeted and asked, "Where's your dad?"
"He's in the house. Third Uncle and Third Aunt are here." After Lu Jun finished speaking, he saw Lu Yue's car and asked curiously, "Second Uncle, you bought this car this year. How much is it?"
"About sixty thousand. I don't know about this," Lu Yue said.
"This is a loss!" Lu Jun immediately shook his head and said, "This brand's performance is not very good. It's better to buy a mid-range one with a few thousand more. "
"Second Uncle, if you want to buy again, you can tell me. I know a friend in this field. Look, I bought this car from my friend. It's thirty thousand cheaper than the 4S shop! "
As he spoke, he pointed to a BMW SUV next to him with a proud expression.
Shen Man asked, "You bought this car? You're doing well! "
"It's just so-so. Only 300,000." Although Lu Jun said it was just so-so, there was an unconcealable pride in his words.
Shen Man snickered but didn't say anything. She entered the house with Lu Yue.
"Xinzi, you brat, you're back!" Lu Jun stepped forward and put his arm around Lu Zixin's shoulder. The two of them had a good relationship.
In the past, when they were in junior high school in the county, the two of them secretly went online and played games together. They even fought with others. However, after Lu Zixin entered high school, their relationship drifted apart.
"Brother Jun, I heard that you're doing pretty well!" Lu Zixin said.
"Hey, you're alright. You look human," Lu Jun said with a smile. "How old are you, kid?"
"It's been a year since we graduated!"
"Graduated? Are you working yet? Where? "Lu Jun asked.
"Jiangcheng. We're working in the same company. Not bad," Lu Zixin replied.
"Work?" Lu Jun said, "It's hard to get a job these days. The pay is low. It's better to work in a project. A project costs at least a few hundred thousand. Xinzi, if you ask me, why don't you work for me? I'll definitely get a higher pay than you! "
Lu Zixin smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. I'll look for you when I can't do it anymore."
Lu Jun passed him a cigarette and said, "Okay, I've been working in He County recently. I'm making a lot of money. If you want to work for me, I'll definitely take care of you. There are many college students in my construction team. They're studying civil engineering. Oh, what's your major? "
"Computing."
"Computing? I know someone who majored in computing. He opened an internet cafe in He County and borrowed 20,000 from me. How much can he earn? It's still more profitable to do projects! "Lu Jun said.
The two of them entered the house. Everyone in the Lu Family was there. First Uncle, First Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Lu Jun's girlfriend, Lu Zixin's sister-in-law, and Third Uncle and Third Aunt's son and daughter were there too.
New Year's greetings, blessings, and then the family feast.
First Uncle said happily, "Our Lu Family was very prosperous last year. It's time to celebrate. I've already booked a family feast at the Ho Hsien Hotel. Let's go together now! "
Lu Zixin's First Uncle was the oldest and had the most authority. He used to be a businessman.
"Ho Hsien Hotel?" Third Uncle said in surprise, "You can book a feast on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Lu Zixin's Third Uncle was a civil servant in a small unit. His salary was not high, barely enough to support the family. His position was not high, and he had no extra income.
The Ho Hsien Hotel was the biggest hotel in the county. It was also the most prestigious hotel. To book a feast there on the first day of the Lunar New Year, other than money, one also had to have connections.
Lu Jun said proudly, "I know the lobby manager here. He helped me book a feast. Our meal costs at least ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand!" Third Aunt was speechless. Their family did not even spend ten thousand a month. She said emotionally, "It seems that Lu Jun has really made a name for himself these two years! He's promising! "
First Aunt said proudly, "Not bad. Although my Lu Jun did not go to university, his brain is not as stupid as anyone else's! "
Lu Zixin felt that he was being ridiculed for no reason. Among the younger generation present, he was the only one who had just finished university. Third Uncle's son had just finished high school this year, and his niece was only in junior high school!
The whole family set off for the Ho Hsien Hotel. When they arrived, the parking lot at the entrance was full of luxury cars. Their car could only be parked in the open space outside.
The Ho Hsien Hotel was decorated in gold and jade. There were festive red lanterns and other decorations everywhere. It was very luxurious. In the past few years, He County had become prosperous, and there were many rich people. Naturally, they would want to spend more money.
"Wow, it's so stylish!" Third Aunt said emotionally.
Third Uncle nodded and said, "Last year, when we had a party at work, we came here for a meal. The dishes made by that famous chef were delicious!"
First Aunt smiled and said, "Everyone, eat well this year!"
"General Lu, Happy New Year!" A shout came from behind them. Lu Zixin was puzzled. Could it be that there was someone here who knew him?
When he turned around, he realized that the other person was calling Lu Jun.
"Manager Bao, Happy New Year!" Lu Jun went forward and greeted him. This person was the lobby manager of the hotel in He County. After greeting him, he arranged a private room for everyone.
The family banquet officially started. First, it was the younger generation congratulating the elders.
Lu Zixin raised his glass to wish the elders a happy New Year. First Uncle took out a red packet from his pocket and was about to give it to Lu Zixin. Lu Zixin said awkwardly, "Uncle, I don't want a red packet. I've already graduated and started working."
"You've already graduated?" Her uncle asked in surprise. "I thought you were still studying. What kind of job do you have now? "
When he asked this, everyone's gaze fell on Lu Zixin. Lu Zixin was a little helpless. He knew that these questions were unavoidable. The legendary Third Company of Relatives — Have you graduated? Do you have a job? How much is your salary?
Shen Man quickly said, "I'm working in an Internet company. The conditions are not bad!"
"Internet company?" Third Uncle frowned and said, "Don't tell me you're working in the finance industry? One of my colleague's child went to a finance company. In the end, the company was involved in fraud. He was arrested by the police just before the New Year. This New Year is not peaceful. Don't do this! "
"Why would he do this? His company is a legitimate company! "Shen Man emphasized. She really wanted to tell them about her son's company, but she held back.
Third Aunt said, "It's hard to work in the Internet now! It's not as stable as being a civil servant. Lu Zixin, I think you should take the civil servant exam. It's much more stable. Civil servants have an advantage in finding a partner now. "
Lu Zixin said helplessly, "My job is pretty good. I don't want to take the civil servant exam for the time being."
Third Uncle was a civil servant himself. He immediately reprimanded, "That's not right. What's wrong with being a civil servant? Stable job, stable salary, and if you do well, you can even become an official. Don't you think that's very respectable? "
"That Internet company of yours is the most unstable one. If you go bankrupt, you won't even be able to get your salary. If you ask me, you should take the civil servant exam quickly. When the time comes, I have some connections with your Third Uncle in our county. I can help you find a good job! "
