Chapter 230 Discussing the purchase of a car
Shi Tingyu was more inclined to agree to teach at the college. Riding a bike for more than an hour was not too far for people nowadays, but Shi Tingyu felt that it was still a bit far for her.
However, transportation was not unsolvable.
She remembered that when she went back to her hometown before, Lu Weiguo had a comrade-in-arms named Zuo Ping who worked in the county people's armed forces department. He had a car that he bought and discarded.
Shi Tingyu felt that she could do the same. After all, it was more convenient to have a car and it could be used at any time.
However, this would have to wait until Lu Weiguo came back in the evening to discuss it.
As for the child, this was not difficult. Now each factory unit has a nursery. If she really became a teacher, a class would not take much time. After the class, she could pick up the child and she would not have to worry so much.
Another point is that the university courses do not end too late, and there is no need to worry about safety issues such as darkness when going back and forth that day.
She always feels that children are not shackles that restrict women from working.
Parents should be responsible for their children, but they should also be responsible for themselves.
Give your children the best of everything within your ability, and teach them by example on weekdays. You will never teach them to be a social tumor, unless they have super male syndrome and are difficult to discipline.
Nowadays, many parents still think that giving their children enough food and clothing is a good life. If the child is a bad boy, just beat him until he is obedient. If one beating is not enough, then two beatings will do.
Even so, there is no large-scale antisocial personality.
Looking closely, it is much more convenient to be a teacher and take care of children than to be a student and take care of children. At least the children can be placed in the nursery for faculty and staff, and they only need to be placed in the nursery during class time.
This year is the first college entrance examination after its resumption. The age span of candidates is relatively large. Many students have children. They can overcome difficulties, and she thinks she can do it too.
With a plan in mind, Shi Tingyu relaxed. After playing with Shen Shen and Li Jian for a while, she began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Shen Shen sat in the small bamboo car and played with toys, not making any noise at all.
This is another advantage that Shi Tingyu discovered about the child.
That is concentration. Once he plays with something, he can play for a long time without being disturbed.
Under normal circumstances, Shi Tingyu does not interrupt him, which is conducive to improving the child's concentration, so that he can sit still whether studying or doing other things in the future.
When Lu Weiguo came back in the evening, Shi Tingyu had already prepared all the meals.
He walked over, hugged his wife and kissed her, "Wife, you've worked hard."
Shi Tingyu smiled and invited him to eat.
Lu Weiguo reluctantly let go of his wife, turned around and pushed his son in, hugged his son and kissed him again.
The little guy was giggling because of his teasing.
After putting the child back in the small bamboo stroller, Lu Weiguo went to help load the rice.
Today's dishes were still rich, and Lu Weiguo and his friends' gluttony in the past two months had finally eased a little.
Shi Tingyu ate until she was seven-tenths full, and the rest was eaten by Lu Weiguo.
After dinner, Lu Weiguo quickly cleared the table and went to the well to wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, the two did not rest, but pushed the child and took Li Jian to go for a walk to digest the food.
It gets dark early in winter, and there are no street lights in the family yard. Only occasionally someone will light a light bulb in the yard for convenience.
Lu Weiguo brought a flashlight with him and shone it in the dark.
Shi Tingyu was used to the streets full of neon lights, and now it was a different kind of walk.
Lu Weiguo held his wife in one hand and pushed a small bamboo cart with the other. He felt that the years were quiet and good. He would never get bored with such days.
When they were walking, Lu Weiguo and his wife had more exchanges.
Shi Tingyu told Lu Weiguo about Principal Sun's visit today.
Lu Weiguo knew his wife's plan. She was capable and talented, and it was impossible for her to stay at home all day around the stove for the children. So he said, "If you want to go, go. Many people dare not even think about being a university teacher . Now that I have found you, it shows that you have the ability."
"Don't worry about the child. You can hire someone to help take care of the child. Many villagers nearby are happy to do so."
Shi Tingyu looked at Lu Weiguo's face in the light, with a smile in his eyes, "I can take care of the child. There is a nursery for teachers and staff at the school. I can put Shen Shen there when I am in class, and pick her up after class."
Shen Shen heard his mother say his name, turned his head to look at Shi Tingyu, tilted his head and looked puzzled.
Shi Tingyu touched his head soothingly, and he turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
Lu Weiguo thought that what his wife said was feasible, but he thought about the accommodation and felt a little conflicted.
He felt distressed and worried about his wife running back and forth between school and family compound every day, but he didn't want to separate from his wife.
After discovering Lu Weiguo's dilemma, Shi Tingyu didn't say much, but just asked: "I remember that there seem to be some cars to be scrapped in your camp. What do you think about us buying them?"
When Shi Tingyu said this, Lu Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he held his wife's hand tightly, "Wife, do you want to buy a car for your commute?"
"Yes, so I want to discuss it with you." Shi Tingyu said.
How could Lu Weiguo disagree? He was eager to do so.
He had seen his wife's driving skills, and it was still very stable.
"Okay, I'll ask the logistics department tomorrow."
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiguo said, "I think it should be okay to buy it, but private purchases are not allowed now. My former comrade Zuo Ping registered his car with the People's Armed Forces Department."
"If we want to buy it, we have to find a unit to register it with."
Shi Tingyu only remembered at this time that it seemed that private cars would not appear until the 1980s.
It was equivalent to buying the right to use the car, but the nominal ownership of the car still belonged to the unit.
She secretly calculated that it was not impossible. She could register the car with Jinling Art Academy and sign a contract at that time.
The car was driven out of the camp, so naturally there was no need to worry about the academy having other ideas.
If you don’t plan to use it in the future, you can sell it. In the next ten years or so, cars will still be in high demand.
But this matter will have to wait until Principal Sun comes to discuss it in detail.
The important matter in their hearts was solved, and the family took a walk for a while before returning home.
The next day, Lu Weiguo went to the logistics department and told them that he wanted to buy a car.
Director Zheng of the logistics department was surprised, "Are you serious?"
Lu Weiguo said, "My wife is going to teach at Jinling Art Academy. It is inconvenient for her to take the children back and forth, so I want to buy a car for transportation."
How could the minister disagree? Those cars that are about to be eliminated will eventually be scrapped.
Now that they can be sold and create value for the camp, it is naturally the best.
