Da Hu scratched his head, he didn't know, and said casually, "I guess we should just catch up and have some fun."

"It's so fashionable these days that most people can't keep up. It costs money," said the eldest boy.

Although game coins are not too expensive, one dollar can buy two coins, but one game coin can only play for a few minutes. If you stay in the game hall for a whole day, it will definitely cost you ten or twenty dollars.

The monthly allowance for an average student is only about ten yuan, and the daily allowance for a game hall is at least ten to twenty yuan.

Anyway, ordinary students can’t afford it.

But Da Wa knew that Su Guangzong had money.

After all, Ning Xue was famous for loving her children. It was said that when Su Guangzong and Su Yaozu went to college, they took half of the Su family's fortune with them.

The more money you make, the more you realize how hard it is to make money. In any case, if it were Da Wa or Da Hu, they would never spend this money on entertainment.

Da Wa glanced at the dark storefront and said, "Who cares?"

The next day after returning to the dormitory, Da Wa took some time to go to the post office and mailed back the things he bought in the department store. He also wrote a letter, thought about it, and finally mentioned that he had seen Su Guangzong enter the game hall.

However, just after finishing this sentence, he picked up the pen and drew two horizontal lines to cross out the words.

Spending money is one thing. Actually, there is nothing wrong with going to the game room to play video games. His roommate goes there every day and lives a good life. It’s just that his addiction to games has delayed his studies. He probably will fail the final exam.

But Su Guangzong is rich and a top student, so playing games shouldn't interfere with his studies, right?

So let’s not talk about this, so as not to make him look like a gossipmonger.

After sending the letter and the package, the eldest son walked out of the post office. He looked at the blue sky and couldn't help but think of the endless sea of ​​Hailang Island. He wondered what his father and mother were doing now?

Ningtang is trying on the dress that Da Wa sent her last time. It’s a red and white polka dot style with a retro feel.

Wearing this red and white polka dot dress, her skin looks even fairer, and her long legs under the hem are thin and straight.

Wu Xiuqin said enviously, "Your eldest son is really filial."

This kind of pattern is not only gone in Hailang Island, but you can’t even find one in Jiang City.

Isn't it said that the three children of the Shen family are adopted sons and daughters, not Ning Tang's biological children? Why do these three treat her, this stepmother, better than some biological sons on the island treat their biological mothers?

Wu Xiuqin is from Sichuan Province and has only recently come to join the army. She has a straightforward personality and soon after arriving, she became friends with many of the army's wives.

I have heard a lot of rumors about Ning Tang from other military wives.

Some say that she is lazy by nature and only gets up at noon to buy groceries and cook.

Some said that she was not worthy of being a woman because she had to ask Captain Shen to buy groceries, cook and do housework for her every day.

Some said that she was not good to her three children. Her eldest child got into a fight at school and was called as the head teacher. She also said that boys should fight more.

After listening to bits and pieces of information, Wu Xiuqin had a very bad impression of Ning Tang.

But when I met him by chance, I found that it was not the case at all.

If she was like that, how could Captain Shen be so nice to her and willingly do housework for her? If she really treated her children badly, would their eldest child have gone to Shanghai and bought things for her and sent them back? Could one of their three children become an athlete and two go to college?

People exchange hearts for people's hearts. These military wives are deceiving fools. Just think about it and you will know that they are probably envious of the good life of the Shen family and jealous of Ning Tang being held in the palm of the hand by Captain Shen, so they are jealous.

After seeing Wu Xiuqin off, Ning Tang curled the corners of her mouth. She quite liked this military wife who had just arrived. Although she had a hot temper and spoke her mind, she was better than those who stabbed her in the back.

Just as she was about to go into the kitchen to cook, she heard a bell at the door. She exchanged a glance with Shen Lie, who was sitting in a rocking chair reading a newspaper. "There's a letter. I wonder who sent it from."

Shen Lie said, "It shouldn't be Da Wa. This kid just sent something back a while ago." He added, "It was probably sent by Dad and Mom."

He went to pick up the letter and came back with a big package.

Ning Tang took the letter from him, looked at the postmark, and immediately laughed, "You guessed wrong, it really was sent by Da Wa."

Shen Lie stubbornly said, "Just? It can't be a letter from Erniu, Sanwa or Junzi."

"My brother doesn't usually send letters, he always sends things. Ever since Da Wa and his friends came to Shanghai, Da Wa has been writing letters for the three children." Ning Tang used a knife to cut the letter open. "Don't be so stubborn. Let's see what Da Wa sent back."

Shen Lie opened the package, revealing a bunch of stuff inside, including clam oil, lotion, Guerlain lipstick, Pien Tze Huang pearl cream, Jingwei Herbal Propolis Eye Cream... His eyes widened immediately, "Did this brat rob the cosmetics counter in the department store?"

Ning Tang was also shocked, "Why did you send so many?"

This is estimated to take several years.

Ning Tang said, "Forget it, let's read the letter first." She glanced at Shen Lie and said, "Why don't you come over and read it?"

Shen Lie said casually, "You look first."

He is counting.

This box of clam oil is worth fifty cents, this bottle of lotion is worth five yuan, and he has never seen this bottle of Guerlain lipstick, so it must be at least ten yuan. All these miscellaneous items must add up to at least fifty or sixty yuan.

Where did Da Wa come from? So much money?

Didn’t you send back a lot of clothes not long ago?

Shen Lie didn't believe that Da Wa had spent all the money he gave him on these things.

This kid is not that stupid.

Shen Lie pointed again and had an idea in his mind. It seemed that this kid had done a lot of tricks in Shanghai. He sneered inwardly, "You little stinky boy, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when you come back."

Ning Tang read the letter quickly. Shen Lie asked, "What did Da Wa say in the letter?"

"He didn't say much. He just mentioned that Erniu performed the White-Haired Girl at their school's National Day party, and Sanwa participated in a city-level swimming competition. He did well in his professional courses and is expected to win a scholarship next year." Ning Tang said.

She glanced at the last line and saw the crossed-out words. She was happy and pointed to Shen Lie, "Look at this."

The eldest son was careless and only drew two strokes for the last line of words. But if you look closely, you can still make out what is written.

Shen Lie looked over and read it word by word, saying, "He saw Su Guangzong go to the game hall?" Then he asked, "What is the game hall?"

Ning Tang knew this, "It's just a room with many game consoles in it. You can play games, but it costs money to play, and it's not cheap."

This is very popular at the moment. Teenagers in their teens and twenties and children as young as seven or eight years old all like to use their own money or ask for pocket money from adults at home to go to the game hall and play a few games.

The last time Ning Tang and Zeng Xinlan went to Jiang City, they saw several such game halls, with many young and old guys playing enthusiastically inside. Some played at one table alone, some played at two tables, and some played with one person while a group of people watched, all of them were crazy about the game.

Zeng Xinlan was curious and pulled Ning Tang inside for a walk. It was filled with smoke and almost caused him to get hurt.

Come out and tell Ning Tang that if Da Hu behaves like these people, he will break his legs.

After listening to Ning Tang's description, Shen Lie frowned. It seemed like this wasn't a good place.

What if I become addicted to this game after playing it too much?

But he and Da Wa thought the same thing. Su Guangzong had good grades and had been well-behaved since childhood. It shouldn't be a big deal for him to play around, right?

But Shen Lie thought again, should he mention this to Su Junyan?

Forget about Ning Xue. She is too conservative and it is hard to communicate with her.

Shen Lie hesitated for several days and had not yet made up his mind, but Su Junyan came to him first.

Ever since Su Guangzong and Su Yaozu went to college, Ning Xue has been free. Su Junyan is the only one left at home. If she doesn't bother him, who else should she bother?

So he kept pulling Su Junyan and told him to make progress and not just sit there for the position of the head of the logistics department until he was old.

The reason why Ning Xue was so anxious was that Commander Wang was going to be transferred. There was a rumor recently that the higher-ups might promote Shen Lie to be the commander.

This rumor is not groundless. Among the four regiment leaders, Shen Lie is the youngest and a graduate of the Naval Academy. He has a diploma, ability and standard. Who else should be promoted if not him?

Seeing that Shen Lie is about to become a division commander, Su Junyan can't just be a section chief in the logistics department and never move up in his life.

So he tortured Su Junyan every day, telling him to make progress and be able to handle things. He also loved to point fingers and "comment" on military and national affairs.

Su Junyan was very annoyed and thought, what are the things going on in the upper level? It is impossible for a woman like you to understand.

But it's useless to say this to Ning Xue, she won't listen.

Su Junyan was feeling depressed, so he came to find Shen Lie.

If he is unhappy, Shen Lie won't have an easy life either!

So after the meeting on Monday, Su Junyan, holding a teacup, slowly walked to Shen Lie's office.

Shen Lie was busy writing documents. Two days ago, Commander Wang had a talk with him. As soon as Commander Wang left, it was confirmed that he would take over the position of commander. He had to write a report on his duties and an application for promotion, and submit them to the higher authorities before he could be officially appointed.

Just when I was halfway through writing, I saw Su Junyan walking over and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's up?"

Su Junyan put the teacup on his desk and said, "Nothing, just came to chat with you."

Shen Lie put the file in the cabinet, "Haha, you don't usually come here to chat with me. You are a rare guest."

Although Shen Lie collected the things quickly, Su Junyan still saw it with his sharp eyes. He felt sour in his heart, from his throat to the tip of his tongue, "How are your eldest son and second daughter doing in Shanghai?"

Shen Lie was stunned. What could he do? He replied, "It's fine."

Su Junyan said with a proud look in his eyes, "I came here to tell you that you should let your daughter drop out of school as soon as possible and let her repeat her studies and take the exam again."

Shen Lie frowned, suppressed his curse, and asked, "Why?"

Su Junyan was very proud, "Because studying music at a music college is a dead end." He added, "You may not know, but a relative of mine also studied music. It has been a long time since he graduated from college, but he still hasn't found a job. When I asked him why, I found out that students from music colleges don't get jobs. Come to think of it, which decent and good company would want students who graduated from music colleges?"

Shen Lie crossed his fingers and placed them on the table. "No company wants her? No company wants her, at worst my wife and I can support her for the rest of her life."

Of course she was trying to bluff Su Junyan. Erniu would never have to worry about not having a job. After she finished her performance of the White-Haired Girl, the leader of the opera house came to ask her if she wanted to work there as a part-time actress to perform a few roles and learn at the same time.

Su Junyan naturally didn't know about this. When he heard Shen Lie say that he and Ning Tang could raise Erniu, he rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to raise her for a lifetime, then raise her for a lifetime. Anyway, she will be useless in her life, so just be a useless snack."

Shen Lie was not angry but laughed. Su Junyan was still in the mood to come and insult Erniu in front of him. He said, "My child is not as promising as your child. Your Su Guangzong has ended up working in the game hall."

When he heard the first sentence, Su Junyan nodded, thinking that Shen Lie was quite self-aware. But when he heard the second sentence, his eyes were red with anger, "Wait, game room?"

The twins went to college and never sent back a single letter. However, Su Junyan and Ning Xue knew nothing about their current situation and just thought that they were still concentrating on attending college.

I never expected to hear news about Su Guangzong from Shen Lie.

Shen Lie glanced at Su Junyan and saw from his expression that he probably didn't know. "My eldest child said that he saw Su Guangzong enter the game room."

Although he knew that this place was not a good place to go and that it was easy to lose one's ambition due to playing with things, Su Junyan still insisted, "Guangzong has good grades and went to a good university. What's wrong with him playing a few games?"

Shen Lie didn't have any other intentions. Going to the game hall wasn't a big deal. To put it simply, it was just entertainment. He just pointed it out because he didn't like what Su Junyan said just now. His original intention was to remind him, "It's okay for you to know. Give the kid more advice. It's okay to play a few games for entertainment when you have nothing to do, but don't get addicted to it."

Su Junyan said impatiently, "Do I need you to remind me? I know how to teach children better than you do." He added, "What do you know? Guangzong went to the game room not to play games, he had something important to do."

Shen Lie was stunned. "What business?"

When did playing games become a serious matter?

Su Junyan said seriously, "You don't understand this, right? Our Guangzong is a computer major. He knows what a computer is, right? He's a computer expert, a high-tech talent. He goes to the game hall not just to play games, but to do research. Do you understand what research is?"

Shen Lie shook his head and said honestly, "I don't understand." He blinked, "But, I remember that your Su Guangzong is studying medicine, majoring in clinical medicine, and Su Yaozu is studying computer science, right?" He said hurriedly, "Don't tell me that there are patients in the game room, waiting for Su Guangzong to see a doctor."

Su Junyan was dumbfounded, and inexplicably felt guilty, because he felt that what Shen Lie said was true, but he still insisted, "How could my son not know that Guangzong is studying computer science."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Lie to reply, he said "I have something else to do" and ran away in a hurry.

It's so embarrassing that he remembered his son's major wrongly. If he stays, he's afraid Shen Lie will laugh at him.

Shen Lie looked at Su Junyan's back as he fled in panic, sneered, and fought with him.

He knew better than Su Junyan what universities Su Guangzong and Su Yaozu attended and what majors they studied. He could almost recite who asked Ning Xue to come every day to show off in front of him and Ning Tang.
