Another day of being exhausted by studying!
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong went upstairs one after another, and Wen Dongrong stuffed his briefcase into the big bag.
The big bag contained his briefcase, the couple's review materials for cram school, and their "self-esteem", which must not be discovered by Wen Ying.
I used to think that work and social activities were tiring, and studying was easy. I always complained that Wen Ying was not working hard enough in her studies. Now I realize that studying can be so tiring.
The two opened the door and entered the house. Chen Ru called out "Wen Ying". Wen Ying answered her from the bedroom, saying that she was tired from studying and wanted to go to bed first.
Chen Ru thought to herself: Are you learning more than I am tired?
Wen Dongrong first saw two boxes on the table.
"What is this?"
Chen Ru looked over and saw two identical boxes, both with "Happy Birthday" written on them.
Who's having a birthday?
Chen Ru’s birthday was in the first half of the year and it has already passed, and Wen Dongrong’s birthday is in December and it hasn’t arrived yet!
Chen Ru pointed to Wen Ying's room and said, "Is she celebrating my birthday in lieu of celebrating yours in advance?"
Chen Ru is now unable to figure out Wen Ying's routine. A birthday gift is nothing, but she is afraid that Wen Ying will make unreasonable requests after giving her a gift - this is not Chen Ru worrying about nothing. Wen Ying has bombarded Chen Ru with sweet words several times, and each time she pestered Chen Ru to the point that she had no choice but to agree to some requests. Afterwards, Chen Ru regretted it when she came to her senses!
Wen Dongrong doesn't care. If there is a gift, he will definitely open it.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the tie and leather shoes that Wen Ying brought back from Macau last time, Wen Dongrong showed off in front of his competitor Lao Li.
It turns out that no other method can be used to attack Lao Li. Lao Li is thicker-skinned than most people. Only by comparing himself with his children can we stab Lao Li in the heart.
When Wen Dongrong opened the box, he was thinking, what birthday present should I give him in advance?
Now that he has a tie and leather shoes, it would be nice to give him a belt or a wallet.
Wen Dongrong always tucks his shirt into his trousers when he gets dressed. This not only makes him look tall and energetic, but also makes the belt around his waist very eye-catching.
A belt, it must be a belt!
Wen Dongrong opened the box and found that it was neither a belt nor a wallet, but a tape recorder.
Why did Wen Ying give him a tape recorder?
He suspected that he had taken apart the wrong one, so he took apart another one, and it turned out to be a repeater again.
Two gifts, two identical tape recorders.
Wen Dongrong's blood boiled, his face flushed, and he asked Chen Ru in a low voice, "Did you tell her?"
Chen Ru glared at him, "How is that possible? I never said that. Don't try to wrongly accuse me!"
Why would Wen Ying give them two tape recorders if she didn’t tell them?
Wen Dongrong didn't believe it, and Chen Ru was also confused.
The next morning, the family of three sat together for breakfast. Wen Ying took the initiative to mention the tape recorder, "Dad, Mom, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru looked at each other, and Wen Dongrong cleared his throat:
"Why did you give us a tape recorder? Your mom and I can't use it. Where did you buy it? Can you return it?"
"Yes, you are wasting money!"
The couple sang the same tune, trying to be stubborn.
Wen Ying drank the porridge and wiped her mouth. "Why can't I use it? Wouldn't it be great to use it for listening to music? My mom is under a lot of work pressure right now, and listening to music can help soothe her mood. I bought both for her, so I can't be partial to one over the other!"
Listen to music?
If someone uses a tape recorder to listen to music, don’t think that they don’t understand because they are old. They all use a Walkman to listen to music.
Only use a repeater when learning English!
The couple was half-believing and half-doubting, but Wen Ying had already put down her bowl, put on her schoolbag and went out, waving goodbye to her parents.
Chen Ru was choking and couldn't breathe.
"Do you believe this explanation?"
Wen Dongrong rolled up his sleeves and picked up the bowls. "I don't believe there's anything I can do. Didn't I tell you that children these days are hard to manage? Just go buy a couple of tapes and listen to them."
That's a good excuse.
Wen Dongrong guessed that Wen Ying had probably discovered it.
But as the head of the family, he cannot lose face.
In the future, when listening to English tapes on a tape recorder, you can pretend to be listening to music. Anyway, as long as you don't say it directly, Wen Dongrong can act it out from beginning to end.
He has this confidence!
Chen Ru had no confidence. When she thought that Wen Ying already knew, she was about to explode.
——So why did she take the postgraduate entrance examination and why did she sign up for cram school?
If I fail the exam, how can I save face in front of Wen Ying!
Wen Dongrong was one of the culprits who instigated her to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Chen Ru was no longer in the mood to laugh at Wen Dongrong and sent him back to work.
Wen Dongrong now has to either borrow a friend's car or take the bus to Chengdu on weekends, but he knows that this is not a long-term solution. No matter how good a friend is, he can't drive his friend's car every week. If he takes the bus, he has to go back on Sunday night, otherwise there will be no such early bus the next day.
Not only Chen Ru felt that the family needed a car, Wen Dongrong also thought so.
If the family savings are not enough to buy a house, they are enough to buy two cars. If you buy a house, the finances will be tight, and the house will also need to be renovated, so there are places to spend money everywhere.
Fortunately, his elder brother and younger brother have already settled down in the city and do not need his financial support. The Shu family is even more ruthless, and now the two families have completely cut off contact.
Wen Dongrong thought about it carefully and felt that he could save a considerable amount of money this year.
Save this money. If you can't afford a new car, a used car will do.
Or, quit smoking again?
After Chen Ru came to Chengdu, Wen Dongrong had to eat three meals a day at the company. Now the only thing he had to pay for himself was the money for cigarettes.
