Chapter 436 Aunt’s Family (2-in-1, Please Subscribe!!!)

Heavy rain swept Tokyo again tonight.

Japanese tourists are very unlucky this year. It was originally because of the cold weather this year. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is several weeks longer than in previous years. The newly blooming pink cherry blossoms stand among the old ones. It is easy to see cherry blossoms all over the city in Tokyo. The scene is obviously a brilliant cherry blossom season that only happens once in ten years, but by chance, it encounters heavy rainfall that is extremely rare in a century. The cherry blossoms all over Tokyo are withering in the strong wind, but there are extremely tough branches on the cherry trees. , but they were all unable to lift their heads under the weight of the pouring rain.

Occasionally, tourists in twos and threes can be seen dragging large and small bags through the stormy streets. It must be because the storm closed the airport and all flights were cancelled. The accumulated tourists are crowded in this city. No matter how developed Tokyo's tourism industry is, Hotels and hostels are also easily full. Cheap and discount hotels have long been sold out, leaving only the most luxurious suites in star-rated hotels.

However, temporary accommodation during this rainy tourist season is definitely several times more expensive than booking in advance online. Maybe the price of one night's stay can be worth the entire travel budget, and more people are willing to wander on the streets holding hands. It's possible that there is only one affordable and comfortable suite left in a hotel. It's a good idea to try your luck. Few people are willing to be taken advantage of by these unscrupulous merchants who raise prices.

"Do we have to stay in such an expensive hotel?" Auntie looked at the price list at the hotel front desk and tightly held the bank card in her hand.

On the price list, even small items such as bath balls or toilet mats are extremely expensive. They are more than ten times more expensive than when domestic supermarkets are on sale. The price of a room that is tens of thousands of yen is very expensive for a housewife like my aunt. It's simply astronomical... This is not sleeping on a bed. This is obviously sleeping on money. When you turn over and stretch out, gold coins are rolling down!

"Then where should we live? It's so windy and rainy, we can't sleep on the street or in a bridge, right? I heard that it's illegal to sleep on the street at night in Japan. We can't take Narusawa to sleep in a bureau, right?" Uncle Said, "Isn't this New Otani Hotel pretty good? It's bright and spacious, with a garden floor. It's an old four-star hotel. I heard that the Chiyoda District next to it is the rich area of ​​Tokyo. There are more luxury cars than people on the street!"

My aunt said to herself, this prodigal man, who doesn’t know that this hotel is so good and magnificent, anyone with long eyes can see it, okay? The hotel is good, but it costs money! How can something that costs so much money be bad? One star in a four-star hotel is more expensive than a trip to a beauty salon. I didn’t even bother to have several high-end beauty treatments, just to sleep in it for one night! There are many luxury cars on the roadside, but are they yours? Can you still drive one away? If she could drive away, she wouldn't feel bad if she stayed in this hotel for a week!

"Isn't that youth hostel that I just passed by pretty good?" Auntie mentioned it seemingly casually, trying not to reveal her delicate thoughts in her words, "I see that there are still available rooms in that youth hostel, and the price is not that high. , there are so many of us, it is quite cost-effective to book a whole room, right? The rooms in this big hotel may not be comfortable. Anyway, I don’t like to sleep on such a soft bed. I can’t sleep on a mattress that is too soft for a long time. My waist can’t bear it.”

"The mattresses used in other star-rated hotels have the function of protecting the lumbar spine and preventing strain. I have stayed there before and I know that it is so comfortable to sleep!" The uncle said carelessly, as if he did not hear the implication of the aunt at all, and then he continued Whispering in her aunt's ear, "If it's just our family going out to play, we'll just make do by staying in a youth hostel, but Jiajia's family is here too, so we can't let others do the same, right?"

The uncle's words immediately shocked the aunt, who was completely speechless.

Yes, if they were the only ones, they would still care about the star-rated hotel and the lack of face, but this time it was not just my family who was traveling with them, there was also Jiajia's family.

Jiajia's name is Chen Jiawei. She and Lu Mingze are both alumni of Shilan Middle School. She is one year younger than Lu Mingze and will go to a university in the United States next year.

My aunt met Jiajia when she came back from shopping for groceries. She saw her uncle chatting with Jiajia's father on the roadside. Jiajia's father drove a new Audi A6L sedan. Jiajia was sitting in the car at the time, and her aunt was carrying groceries. When I stepped forward to inquire, I found out that Jiajia was an alumnus of the same school as her son Lu Mingze, and that Jiajia's father was the director of the human resources department in his uncle's unit. His position was several levels higher than his uncle's. A person with real power.

The aunt immediately became interested and began to carefully look at the girl sitting in the car. She looked pretty good and had a quiet personality. She also had a supportive family background. The girl's image suddenly became dazzling. ...Isn’t this Jia Jia more than enough to match our own Lu Mingze? This is simply a perfect match for their Lu Mingze!

It must be because I didn't bargain when buying vegetables today. I was favored by the God of the market, so I gave myself a daughter-in-law... The more Auntie looked at Jiajia, the more she liked her.

As a result, the two families moved around more and more frequently. At first, my aunt would always find some "accidental" opportunities to get in touch with Jiajia's family. For example, during parent-teacher meetings, her aunt would use the excuse of parents to discuss education methods to bring them in. When Lu Mingze went to the classroom to visit Jiajia's mother, he actually wanted to create more opportunities for Lu Mingze and Jiajia to get to know each other better. For example, during the parent-child days organized by the school, his aunt would always bring an extra small gift to give. Jiajia is like declaring Jiajia's sovereignty and telling everyone that this is the daughter-in-law appointed by their old Lu family.

Director Chen and his uncle were very good at chatting together. After a few drinks, the two gentlemen began to call themselves brothers. They talked about famous watches, cars, and international events... In short, they could talk about everything men talk about. The men were all equally high-spirited and heroic at the wine table. Those who didn't know it thought it was the reincarnation of Zhang Wuji and Linghu Chong and started to worship each other at the wine table.

Jiajia's mother and aunt did not get along well with each other like Director Chen and her uncle.

Come to think of it, how many simple women can become the wife of a director? At least her thoughts were beyond the comparison of a housewife like herself, but her aunt was not discouraged. In order to win the daughter-in-law sent to her by God, her aunt spent a lot of money.

I got two annual passes to a high-end beauty salon, and bought two skin care product sets. I also upgraded the Opal skin care products I usually bought by two levels and replaced them with the expensive La Mer. What I want is to show off the grandeur of the Chen family in front of the director's wife when I give it to Jiajia's mother. In fact, I am telling the other party that I can be so generous to you, a relative who has no horoscope, and I will be arrogant in the future. If my daughter marries into our Lao Lu family, will she be wronged?

Jiajia's mother has also read countless people, how could she not see through the little ninety-nine in her aunt's heart? But fortunately, she did not reject her aunt's approach, nor did she have any ill feelings towards her aunt's family. Speaking of which, there were quite a few people who wanted to get married to their family through Jiajia in recent years. Among these people, the conditions of her aunt's family were the worst. By no means outstanding, my uncle is just an ordinary investigator in the unit, and my aunt also looks like a housewife. But what makes Jiajia's mother satisfied is that compared with other families, my aunt's family at least has no scheming, and they really want to scheming. It’s not certain who will suffer.

Moreover, Jiajia has indeed reached the age suitable for falling in love. Jiajia's mother is not a rigid parent who does not know how to adapt. When she was in school, Jiajia was not allowed to fall in love. That was because Jiajia was still young and had been very protected since she was a child. Well, she has never seen the world and is easily deceived by boys in the society. But Jiajia’s mother also knows that too much is too little. This kind of too thorough protection may cause her daughter to be rebellious and rebellious. When the time comes, she will go abroad, a foreign country. Those boys will only become more precocious and jerks. When the time comes, they will lead Jiajia into a bad situation and she will not want to come back, and she will have no place to cry.

So it’s better to find a companion for her before going to the United States. The main reason is that Lu Mingze seems to be a simple and honest guy. He definitely doesn’t have the guts to bully Jiajia. There will definitely be many things that Jiajia doesn’t want to talk to her parents about in the United States. It is quite reassuring to have Lu Mingze act as an undercover spy and report Jiajia's situation regularly.

So when my aunt suggested that we take advantage of the opportunity to apply for visas for the two children, it would be better for the two families to go on a trip to prepare the two children for their new college life. After a little consideration, Jiajia's mother readily agreed. After all, My aunt has already taken care of all the expenses for the trip. Their family doesn’t need to contribute any money, and traveling together can best promote the relationship between two people. Through a trip, you can also see many specific situations that are usually difficult to ask. For example, what are the family conditions of Lu Mingze's family, what is the style of his uncle and aunt in dealing with others, and how does that boy Lu Mingze really feel about Jiajia...

"Then let's open two standard rooms, one for Director Chen and his friends, and one for us. The weather outside is bad, and the house is so tight now. It's better not to take up all the other tourists' rooms." Auntie finally let go of her tight grip. The bank card he clutched was like letting go of the golden dove he had raised since childhood.

"Okay, it just so happens that our hotel only has two standard rooms left tonight. Wait a moment, and I will arrange a check-in for you as soon as possible." The hotel receptionist took the bank card from his aunt's hand and showed his signature sweet smile.

In my aunt's eyes, that smile was as hateful as a demon sucking human flesh.

After entering the room, Lu Mingze immediately occupied the bed next to the bathroom. His huge butt and thick waist sank into the soft mattress. He picked up the remote control and started to turn on the TV. Unscrew the cap of the bottle and drink the drink, which is very satisfying.

"Mingze, what you got is a drink, not the free mineral water provided by the hotel. The drink is charged!" Auntie was so anxious that she almost jumped, as if Lu Mingze had opened a can of poisonous gas, "I don't know this kind of thing The brand of drinks is the most expensive. Let me tell you, big hotels like to put things in the room that you have never seen before and don’t know the price of. If you accidentally eat or drink them, you will be charged several times more. There is no place to reason!"

"Oh, oh, oh, come out to play. Being happy is the most important thing, isn't it? You've spent a lot of money, why bother with this little money?" The uncle stroked the silk curtains of the hotel. The feel was no better than the luxurious ones in the new house of the leaders of their unit. The imported curtains are poorly installed!

"What do you know! What do you know!" Auntie immediately became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "When we opened these two rooms today, we have seriously exceeded the budget, okay! How about the excess money?" Do you know how many facial masks I can buy? Do you know how many chicken wings I can marinate? How do you think our family can survive? Isn’t that what I saved by being careful and careful? What do you two gentlemen know? You know shit!"

Although the uncle was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to fight with his aunt openly. He told himself in his heart that there is no need for a big man to compete with a girl who has long hair and short knowledge, so the uncle just whispered in a low voice: "That's not the case. Is it because Mingfei no longer lives in our house?"

"What did you say?" Auntie's voice rose an octave, "You're such a big man, you speak so coquettishly? Tell me louder!"

"Did I explain that Fei Fei no longer lives in our house? But the annual alimony has not stopped, and Ming Fei always sends money and things home." The uncle also raised his voice, "Why don't we go out to play this time? Is it thanks to Mingfei and his parents?"

"You still have the nerve to mention that kid?" Auntie said angrily, "That kid suddenly disappeared two weeks ago. He didn't answer his phone calls and asked Ming Ze to send emails but he didn't reply. I want to ask him for advice. I can’t find anyone for anything related to Ze University.”

"This kid was quite well-behaved when he was in high school. But after he went to college, his temper became wild. He always talked about what tasks the school had to arrange. He didn't answer the phone for three to five days at the beginning, and then there was no news for ten days and a half. What do you mean by that? If he loses it one day, how will he explain it to his parents?" The aunt muttered, "Oh, I forgot, their whole family is like this. Mingfei must have inherited the gene of his parents who can't sit still, then It’s true that the two of them didn’t even say they had time to come and see the kids.”

"Hey, you can't say that. When children grow up, they always have their own world to explore. I think Mingfei is very motivated. When he was in high school, he went to the library and went to the kendo hall to practice swordsmanship very hard. The friend I made named Chu Zihang is also quite good. This kid has goals and ambitions, and will definitely become an elite member of our Laolu family in the future!" The uncle looked at his aunt and teased, "I didn't expect you to care about that kid."

"After all, he has been living in our family for so many years. Although the child was quite dull and unlovable when he was a child, he suddenly became enlightened when he entered high school. He could speak well and knew how to help the family. He sent part of the scholarship home. He also knows how to buy us gifts during the holidays. He is a very grateful child and can set a good example for Mingze." The aunt looked at Lu Mingze and said, "But Mingze, don't follow your example of always disappearing. Brother... By the way, Narusawa, did you and that Jiajia talk much today?"

It's not that the aunt's personality has changed, it's that Lu Mingfei has changed. The aunt's impression of Lu Mingfei has changed, similar to the butterfly effect, so there will definitely be changes in the subsequent plot.
