On the high-speed rail from Shanghai to Chengdu, a short-haired young man was sitting in the second-class seat by the window. He had earplugs in his ears as he listened to the taxi driver on his phone. He looked at the scenery outside and sighed faintly.
The young man's name was Lu Jingyang. He was born in 1992. When he graduated from the police academy at the age of 21, his parents passed away in a car accident.
The driver did not run away. He called 120 and even called the police. Because it was a drunk driving incident, he had to pay two hundred thousand yuan in compensation before he was sent to jail and sentenced to eight years in prison. This was under the circumstance that Lu Jingyang had reached an understanding with the driver who had caused the accident.
Lu Jingyang's parents were small-time employees of state-owned enterprises and did not have much savings. Other than a three-bedroom house in a suburban county, they did not leave behind any rich inheritance.
Due to the grief of his family's death, Lu Jingyang left his hometown and went to Shanghai to develop his career.
However, two years had passed, and Lu Jingyang had gained nothing in Shanghai.
In Shanghai, the prices were unusually high. With his monthly salary of more than 6,000 yuan, it was just enough for food, clothing, and housing. He had to save money. It was completely impossible to buy a house.
After two years, Lu Jingyang's injuries had mostly healed. He decided to return to his hometown. After all, life here was much more comfortable. There were no high prices, and there was no sense of strangeness.
" Ladies and gentlemen, we are arriving at the station ahead. This is the final stop of this train, Chengdu East Station. Ladies and gentlemen, please..."
“Dearpassengers,wehavearrivedin……”
Lu Jingyang looked away when he heard the announcement. He stood up and patted his wrinkled shirt. He stood up and took a suitcase from the luggage rack.
When he left Shanghai, he gave all his belongings to his roommates, except for some clothes and a laptop. It was enough for one suitcase.
The Renaissance slowed down and steadily entered the platform. Lu Jingyang pushed his suitcase and followed the crowd slowly to the door. He was 1.75 meters tall. He was not very tall, but he was not short either.
She walked out of the station and got on the subway with her suitcase.
After getting off at the terminal station, Lu Jingyang hailed a taxi. After getting in, he said to the driver,""Master, Shang Jingyuan." After saying that, Lu Jingyang sat in the backseat and looked out the window without saying a word.
Shangjing Court was a good property that had been developed in Xiquan District a few years ago. Lu Jingyang's parents bought it under Lu Jingyang's name. It wasn't expensive at the time, with a total price of about 500,000 yuan. He originally owed more than 200,000 yuan on the mortgage, but because his parents got into a car accident on the way back from a business trip, the company lost 300,000 yuan. Lu Jingyang used this money to pay off the loan.
Therefore, this house was now completely his.
Lu Jingyang got off the car at the entrance and paid the fare. He swiped his card and entered the residential area. Then, he went straight to the second unit of the sixth building. He entered the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor.
Ding! The elevator door opened. Lu Jingyang stepped out of the elevator and walked towards Room 502.
"Jing Yang?"
Lu Jingyang, who was about to open the door, heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw a lady from 501, who was walking out from the opposite door. A smile blossomed on his face as he called out,""Aunt Liu."
"It's really you, Jing Yang. Why did you come back without saying a word? Child, tell us when you come back. I'll get your uncle to pick you up.”
Auntie Liu's full name was Liu Fang. She was a good friend of Lu Jingyang's mother. They both worked in the same unit. When they bought a house in Shangjing Court, the two families looked at it together. They bought a house and became neighbors.
"Auntie, I suddenly wanted to come back, so I didn't call you. By the way, where's Uncle Song?"
"Your uncle is still at work? I asked for leave today and stayed at home instead of going to work.”Liu Fang explained and walked to Lu Jingyang's side. She held Lu Jingyang's hand and looked left and right.
"You've lost weight. I told you to stay at home, but you insisted on going to Shanghai. The position I found for you previously has already been taken by someone else. When your Uncle Song comes back, I'll help you ask around to see if there's still a gap for you to work in the unit.”
Lu Jingyang was not impatient with Liu Fang's nagging. Instead, he felt warm in his heart. He smiled at Liu Fang and said,""Auntie Liu, I'm preparing to take the police exam."
Liu Fang was stunned. She then looked at Lu Jingyang and nodded."That's fine. You graduated from the police academy. Although you studied psychology, it's indeed suitable for you to take the police exam. Right, have you registered? Which place?"
"I've already passed the examination. It's in Xiquan District. The political review has already been held.”
"Then why didn't you come back to stay when you were taking the exam?”Auntie Liu's face darkened as she asked reproachfully.
"I was afraid of disturbing you. Besides, I arrived in Chengdu in the morning and left after the exams in the afternoon.”Lu Jingyang explained softly.
"When will you report?"
"There's still a need to publicize it. I haven't received the admission notice yet, but there shouldn't be a problem. It's just a matter of a few days, so I came back first.”Lu Jingyang said with a smile.
"The political review has passed, so there should be no problem. If there's anything, remember to tell us. Your Uncle Song still knows some people. I can help you ask around." Liu Fang instructed.
"Got it, Auntie Liu."
"Then go back first. I just cleaned your house this weekend. It's clean. You just need to wipe the dust. By the way, I'm going to buy groceries. Pack up and rest. Come over for dinner at six. I won't call you. I'll give you the key to your room tonight.”
"Auntie Liu, keep the key. If I forget the key, I can get it from you.”Lu Jingyang said with a smile.
"Alright, then you should go back and take a shower.”
"Hey, goodbye, Auntie Liu."
Lu Jingyang smiled as he watched Auntie Liu enter the elevator. Then, he opened the door and entered the room.
The room was a three-bedroom apartment with an interior area of more than 130 square meters. One could imagine how cheap the house prices were at that time. Now, it was impossible to buy such a house without a million yuan.
No wonder so many people chose to speculate in real estate. It was much more cost-effective than saving in the bank.
Shaking his head, he tossed the thoughts in his mind out and dragged his suitcase to the master bedroom. He was not in a hurry to take a shower. Instead, he quickly cleaned the room again, opened the windows to get some fresh air, and turned on the air conditioner in a few rooms.
The house had not been occupied for nearly two years, so it smelled a little.
An hour later, Lu Jingyang felt that the air in the room was much fresher. He then turned off the air conditioning in the guest room, guest room, and living room. He closed the windows, leaving only the air conditioning in the master bedroom on. Then, he made the bed.
After everything was cleaned up, Lu Jingyang took a good shower in the master bedroom's bathroom to wash away the dust on his body. He lay on the bed, set the alarm clock for 5:30 pm, and closed his eyes to rest.
