Chapter 274 Lu Changzheng Teaches Children
When it was almost dark, Lu Changzheng came back with the two children. Lele was very happy and could hear his giggles from a long distance.
Although Lele seemed to dislike Lu Changzheng, he actually admired his father in his heart.
When Lu Changzheng was not around, Su Mo would often build up his image in front of the children; in the nursery, the teachers would also tell them stories about the great heroes of the People's Liberation Army.
So Lu Changzheng's image in Lele's heart was still quite tall.
It's just that Lu Changzheng was always very busy. When they first came to follow the army, Lu Changzheng had to go to training and there was no news for several months.
After the special team was established, they had to carry out missions. For the safety of their teammates, Lu Changzheng had to work with the leaders to rack their brains to give them extra training. In
the 1970s, special forces were an emerging branch of the military in all countries, and everyone was exploring their training methods. They could only keep exploring and improving.
After nearly half a year of exploration, there was finally a preliminary charter, and Lu Changzheng was a little free.
With this time, he naturally had to spend time with his children and daughter-in-law.
When learning to swim in Heyong just now, Lu Changzheng showed off his skills in the water in front of Lele, and instantly conquered Lele, who shouted that he wanted to learn.
Lele was also proud that his father was so capable.
Just now when he was in Heyong, Lele met many of his friends from the nursery. He had heard them say that their fathers would take them swimming. Although Lele didn't say it, he was actually envious.
Now his father also took him, and he was even better than his friends' fathers. Seeing the envious eyes of his friends, Lele also straightened his chest with pride.
As soon as he got back, Lele chattered to Su Mo about what had just happened.
"Mom, Dad is amazing."
"He went into the river in a flash, and then came out from a long distance away. Other children's dads can't do that, they came out in a short while."
"Dad can even lie on the water, but other children's dads can't do that, they will sink."
"Dad swims very fast, like a fish, he runs ahead in a flash, other children's dads can't catch up."
...
Su Mo listened to Lele happily comparing his father with others, and suddenly remembered the video of "My Dad Dares to Eat Shit" in the future, and her mouth twitched a little.
Seeing that Lu Changzheng was still standing aside, he seemed to be quite proud and arrogant. Su Mo couldn't help but glared at him. He was showing off in front of the child.
Lu Changzheng touched his nose in embarrassment. He rarely accompanied the child. If he wanted to win his favor, he had to show off his skills.
"Mom, Dad is not only a good swimmer, but also a good slingshot shooter. He can hit the target even with his eyes closed."
"Dad also said that he would teach me and my sister. Dad, right?" Lele looked at Lu Changzheng with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, Dad can, and he will teach you and your sister." Lu Changzheng touched Lele's head.
After the family finished their meal, Lu Xiaolan and the two children went to watch TV. Su Mo came out of the bath and saw that the neighboring family didn't come over. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
You know, since her family bought a TV, except for Commander Xu yesterday, they didn't come over. The rest of the time, Wang Cuimei and her four children all reported on time.
Su Mo went out to do laundry and found Wang Cuimei and her youngest son Zheng Haichang sitting in the yard to cool off. Zheng Haichang was standing on tiptoe and looking around, obviously wanting to come over to watch TV.
"Sister Wang, why didn't you come over to watch TV today?" Su Mo asked.
Wang Cuimei smiled awkwardly, "The final exams are coming up soon, and the eldest and second child need to study. Let's not watch it for now and let them review their lessons."
Wang Cuimei's eldest son is 10 years old and her second daughter is 8 years old. They are already in elementary school. The final exams are indeed coming up in July, so Su Mo didn't think much about it.
In fact, it was Zheng Guosheng who didn't let them come over to watch. Commander Xu lived next door, and he didn't want others to say that he was a sycophant, so he scolded Wang Cuimei and her two children, telling them to stop going to the next door so that others wouldn't say that his family was trying to curry favor with them .
The next day, Lu Changzheng got up early, called the two children, and the three of them first did a set of boxing in the yard. After that, Lu Changzheng began to teach the two children to shoot slingshots.
Wang Cuimei was watering the dishes beside them, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Although Commander Lu was busy with work, he would teach the children when he was free. Her husband, Zheng, was often at home, but he was never seen taking care of the children. After
Wang Cuimei finished watering the dishes, she went into the house and called Zheng Guosheng.
"Captain Lu next door is teaching his two kids to play slingshots, why don't you teach our kids too?"
Zheng Guosheng was thinking about something yesterday, and it was hot, so he didn't sleep much the whole night. He took advantage of the coolness in the early morning to take a nap, but was suddenly woken up, and couldn't help getting angry.
"What are you teaching? Do you think those naughty kids you gave birth to are not troublesome enough? They taught them to play slingshots and broke someone's window. How much salary do I have to compensate you?"
"Be quiet and don't cause trouble for me."
Wang Cuimei was scolded early in the morning, and she was angry in her heart, so she walked out immediately.
To put it bluntly, he despised her for not having a job. But she could have gone to the cafeteria at the beginning, but it was Old Zheng who wanted to save face and gave the quota to other family members. Now he despised her again.
Zheng Guosheng was at the same level as Lu Changzheng, but he worked in a government agency and his salary was not as high as Lu Changzheng's. Lu Changzheng's salary was 141 yuan a month, while Zheng Guosheng's was 127 yuan.
Of this 127 yuan salary, he had to send 20 yuan back to his hometown every month to support his parents, leaving 107 yuan, which was more than enough to support a family of five.
But Zheng Guosheng smoked and drank, and he was addicted to smoking, at least one pack of cigarettes a day. He was also very proud, so he smoked Class B cigarettes that cost 35 cents a pack. This month, he spent 10 yuan on cigarettes alone. Add in the alcohol, and he had to spend 20 yuan every month.
A family of five needs more than 20 yuan a month to buy food; water, electricity, and briquettes cost almost 10 yuan a month; daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and meat and vegetables cost around 10 yuan a month.
There are also tuition and fees for the children, and they usually have to buy shoes and clothes. In addition, Zheng Guosheng would invite his subordinates to come to his home for dinner from time to time, and would help out when someone was in need. His life was really not a comfortable one.
In addition, children are naughty. Sometimes they break other people's things and have to pay for it, or they hit someone's child and they have to apologize.
No matter how careful Wang Cuimei was, she still hadn't saved much money. Her family's savings are only about 500 or 600 yuan to date.
