After the talk, Lu Jiaguang was about to leave when Lu Hongjun called out to him, saying, "All four kids have grown up, especially Zhenzhen, who's already a young lady. It's not proper for her to continue living in the same room with Lu Zhang. Look, why don't you buy a house like the one Jiajie has?"
Lu Jiaguang indeed wanted one, but he didn't have the money.
Lu Hongjun indicated that he himself had a little over four thousand yuan: "Jiajie still hasn't paid back nine hundred, and you should have your own savings. If that's not enough, you can borrow some from friends or relatives. If you're going to buy, you should do it sooner rather than later. The price of houses in the Forty-nine City is rising every year; buy early, live early, and save money."
Lu Jiaguang refused, saying, "Third Uncle, if you have money, you should buy a house for yourself. Living in these apartments is just not as comfortable as living in a bungalow."
