Chapter Thirty-Six: Uncle and Aunt

Looking at the time, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the morning, so he said hello to Shang Yang, then went out to buy some gifts, and was going to go to his uncle's house. However, he didn't know the address of his uncle's house, so he called his mother to ask.

The mother's name is Lu Hongmei. When she heard that Zhang Jun was going to visit his uncle, she immediately said worriedly: "Son, your third aunt is a bit mean. It's fine if you go, but don't say anything that offends others. So as not to make it difficult for your uncle to be a man again."

Zhang Jun was taken aback, and said: "Mom, I remembered when you said that. Since I was a child, I haven't seen Third Uncle very much. Is there any conflict between you?"

Lu Hongmei smiled wryly, and said, "When you were young, adults naturally wouldn't tell you about their troubles. Son, do you still remember when your mother got sick when you were young?"

Zhang Jun immediately remembered that when he was in the third year of junior high school, his mother had a serious illness and needed surgery, which required a lot of expenses. At that time, my parents bought a commercial house for my uncle, but they had no money, so they borrowed money from my third uncle, who had always been in a good family.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Mom, didn't Third Uncle help you cure your illness?"

Lu Hongmei sighed and said, "Where did your third uncle's money belong to? Your father collected it from colleagues in the work unit. It was a total of 50,000 yuan. Although your third uncle was able to lend us money at that time, your aunt was reluctant and worried. Our family couldn't afford it, so we didn't borrow it. At the beginning, your father was anxious to treat me, so he got angry, and ended up offending your aunt, even your third uncle. "

Zhang Jun felt uncomfortable with the boss, but he understood that it was not wrong for others to refuse to borrow money, so he asked: "After all, he is your own younger brother. Just because of this, he has refused to talk to our family for several years?"

"Actually, your third uncle is a very nice person. He has secretly called Mom several times in the past few years. When you were in college, he secretly sent 20,000 yuan to you, saying that it would be used as living expenses for you. Your computer is I bought it with your third uncle's money. However, your aunt has always held a grudge, and your third uncle is afraid of his wife, so he has never dared to contact us directly."

Zhang Jun shook his head, and said: "So, my aunt is really careful, and she has been holding on to that matter until now. Okay, I know, Mom, I must be careful when I speak, so as not to embarrass third uncle."

"That's good. By the way, the surrogate mother will say hello to your uncle." Lu Hongmei confessed a few more words, and then gave the address.

Zhang Jun's third uncle is named Lu Jianjun. He is in his forties this year. He is in the building materials business in Tangling and lives in Yujingyuan Community in Dongling City.

Yujingyuan Community is located in a prime location in Tangling City, with housing prices above 15,000. Lu Jianjun's ability to buy a house here proves that he has considerable financial strength.

When he was about to arrive at the community, Zhang Jun dialed Lu Jianjun's phone number. After a ring tone, Lu Jianjun's voice came: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Zhang Jun said: "Third Uncle, I'm Zhang Jun. I'm going to visit you in Dongling right now. Are you home?"

When he heard that it was Zhang Jun's call, Lu Jianjun was very surprised, and said, "It's Xiaojun, I'm at home. Where are you, uncle will drive to pick you up."

Zhang Jun said: "No need, uncle, I'll be at the gate of the community right away."

Lu Jianping said: "Okay, I'll be there right away, just wait for me."

About five minutes after hanging up the phone, the car arrived at the Yujingyuan community. Through the car window, Zhang Jun saw a familiar person standing at the gate of the community looking around. He hurriedly got out of the car and called out, "Third Uncle!"

The middle-aged man's complexion is slightly dark, his body is fat, and he already has an obvious beer belly. When he saw Zhang Jun, he greeted him with a smile, and said, "Xiao Jun, don't tell me in advance when you come, so uncle can prepare some for you." delicious."

Zhang Jun said with a smile, "All the food at Uncle's house is delicious, so there's no need to make special preparations." Then he took out gifts from the trunk, six bottles of 15-year-old Feitian Moutai, and ten packs of the most expensive local cigarettes in Jinling.

Five thousand eighty-one bottles of Moutai and one thousand eighty-one cigarettes cost Zhang Jun more than 40,000 yuan in total. He made such a generous move because he wanted to ease the tension between his parents and his aunt.

Lu Jianjun usually gave away famous cigarettes and wines in order to get work. He could see at a glance that these gifts were at least 30,000 to 40,000. Bought it? Let’s go, I’ll accompany you back.”

Zhang Jun smiled "hehe" and said, "Uncle, I won the lottery a few days ago, and I have more than three million yuan left after tax. I have some money on hand, so I want to come here to honor my uncle."

Lu Jianjun was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Zhang Jun took out the fake lottery ticket from his pocket, and said solemnly: "How dare my nephew lie to my uncle, of course it is true, look at this number, it was issued just a few days ago, if you don't believe me, uncle can check it online."

Only then did Lu Jianjun somewhat believe it, but he still said: "Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. Tens of thousands of dollars a day, how many days do you think three million can be spent?"

Zhang Jun said yes again and again, saying: "Isn't this just to show respect to uncle you? If it were someone else, I wouldn't be willing to give away a box of cigarettes for three cents."

"Your boy has become oily now." Lu Jianjun laughed when he heard it, thought for a while, and said, "Let's not talk about this, your aunt has just cooked, let's eat first."

Lu Jianjun pulled Zhang Jun back and said on the way: "Xiao Jun, you know that your aunt is a little bit bad-tempered, and if she wants to say something unpleasant later on, don't take it to heart. "

Zhang Jun nodded quickly: "I understand."

Lu Jianjun lived in a duplex house, more than 200 square meters. Entering the room, Zhang Jun found that the decoration was magnificent and high-grade, and he couldn't help but praise: "Uncle, your house is really big, did you spend a lot of money on the decoration?"

Lu Jianjun was somewhat proud, and said: "I just bought it the year before last. The house alone cost more than three million yuan, and the decoration cost nearly four million yuan. Xiaojun, the house is big, so you can stay for a few more days. Let's chat more."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I still remember that my uncle often told me stories when I was young, so I want to revisit it this time."

Hearing these words, Lu Jianjun's nose felt a little sore. Zhang Jun was unmarried before the age of **. At that time, he often took the young Zhang Jun to play around, saved money from his small salary to buy him delicious food, and slept with his little nephew at night , Tell him a story.

He turned his face away, and laughed loudly: "You brat still has a conscience, remember to forget how kind your uncle is to you."

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the living room. She looked about forty, with thin lips and a sharp chin. She took a look at Zhang Jun and said calmly, "Hey, isn't this the nephew of the elder sister's family, Xiao Jun? They are all so old." Now, my aunt almost dare not recognize her."

Zhang Jun bowed and said, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your appearance hasn't changed at all, you are still as young and beautiful as before."

When my aunt heard that her nephew came to the house, she thought it was borrowing money again, and she was a little unhappy at that time. Fortunately, she is getting older, and her temper is not as cool as before, and she has been suppressing her anger. Hearing Zhang Jun's sweet mouth at this moment, he felt a little more comfortable, and said lightly: "Don't stand, sit inside."

Lu Jianjun flashed out from behind Zhang Jun. His aunt frowned when she saw the alcohol and cigarettes in his hand, "Where did they come from? Are you going to give gifts again?"

Lu Jianjun smiled and said, "Xiaojun brought this."

My aunt was taken aback, thought for a while, and suddenly became angry. She stared at Zhang Jun and said, "Xiao Jun, your family is so poor, how could you buy such expensive cigarettes and alcohol? It can't be fake, right?"

Lu Jianjun got annoyed when he heard it, and said angrily, "Yizhu, what are you talking about! Xiaojun kindly bought cigarettes and alcohol to see us, and you treat him like this?"

When Aunt Yizhu saw Lu Jianjun yelling, she was also furious, and sneered, "Come on, Lu Jianjun, is your poor sister not tormenting us? Back then, when you were not well-off, it cost 50,000 yuan to open your mouth. , I just said that if I have no money, people will be in a hurry, even if you don't recognize your own brother, is that a human thing?"

"Don't mention these things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet." Lu Jianjun's face was already darkened. He didn't expect Yizhu to provoke troubles as soon as he came up, which made him very angry.

Once Yizhu's anger came up, it was difficult to extinguish it. She smiled "haha" and said, "Why didn't I mention it? Let their sons know why their parents didn't do anything in the past."

Zhang Jun only felt that two streams of anger rose from the soles of his feet and burned to the bottom of his heart, but he still suppressed it, thinking that this aunt was really powerful, and his parents must have been very angry back then.

He calmly said: "Auntie, although I'm not very promising, I'm not going to buy fake cigarettes and alcohol to deceive uncle. As for the past, I don't want to hear about it. It's your adults' business, and I, a junior, don't care about it."

"Hey, you can talk at such a young age." Yizhu looked contemptuous, "I don't believe it, your family is willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy good wine and cigarettes as gifts, and your family will have to work hard for a year for the money for these cigarettes and alcohol. Can you earn it?"

Zhang Jun didn't speak. He picked up a Moutai and opened the bottle cap on the spot. Suddenly, a strong smell of wine came out. He said lightly: "Uncle has a high income, so he must be drinking this kind of wine. Auntie should be able to smell it." smell it."

Yizhu usually drank some wine, and only good wine, she could smell the real wine, her expression froze.

Zhang Jun said again: "If my aunt thinks the cigarettes are fake, you can take them apart and smoke a few."

Yizhu's expression changed, and she was speechless for a while, and Lu Jianjun also looked embarrassed. At this time, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran over, holding a tablet computer in his arms.

He looked at Zhang Jun and said, "Mom, who is he?"

Lu Jianjun hurriedly said: "Xiaolong, this is your aunt's cousin, quickly call me brother."

The boy pursed his lips as soon as he heard it, and without looking at Zhang Jun again, he said to Yizhu, "Mom, so it's that poor kid's child, and he came to our house to cheat money again?"

Zhang Jun's heart was cold, Yizhu obviously mentioned something to her son, making the child think that the aunt's family is poor, liars and annoying. He originally thought that if he treated others with kindness, others would treat them with kindness, but now it seems that it may not be so!

He suddenly felt a little sad. His parents came to borrow money back then, and he didn't know how humiliated they were. Laughing at himself, he turned around and said to Lu Jianjun, "Uncle, I suddenly remembered that there is something important to do, so I won't stay. I'll come to see you another day, and I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the door away without looking back, ignored Lu Jianjun's yelling behind him, and kept walking out of the community. Only then did he heave a long sigh of relief and feel calmer.
