She didn't know what gifts to give her children. They already had watches, pens, and game consoles, so she decided to buy some models. Special forces toys are very popular in the United States and will definitely be collectibles in the future. She spent two hundred dollars to buy these two models.
After Su Yan distributed their birthday gifts, she gave each of them a set of summer clothes and half a box of snacks.
"An An, take this box back to your room, put the clothes in the closet, and share the snacks."
Lu Yian didn't want to interrupt his parents' conversation, so he stuffed the gift into his brother's hand, then closed the suitcase and said to his younger siblings, "Mom and Dad are tired too, let's go back to the room first."
Lu Ting gave Lu Yian an admiring look. Anan was very responsible when Yiming was not at home.
As soon as the children left, Lu Ting hugged Su Yan and acted coquettishly, "Yan Yan, where are the gifts you prepared for the children?"
"Aren't those the foreign liquors left in the military compound?"
"How can you give wine as a gift?"
Su Yan casually took out three boxes from the space and placed them on the table. "Don't be jealous with the children. These are gifts for you."
Lu Ting had been joking, but he hadn't expected his wife to actually prepare three gifts for him. He knew that in his wife's heart, he was more important than the children.
Lu Ting opened the boxes one by one. In the first box was a wallet, in the second box was a watch, and in the third box was a pistol.
"Yan Yan, why did you buy me a pistol?"
Su Yan was amused by Lu Ting's panicked expression. "I know you've held a real gun before, but this is a 1:1 replica. It can't hurt anyone."
She wanted to go to the black market to buy a real gun for self-defense, but she didn't have time and was not familiar with the United States. So when she bought toys for her sons, she bought a toy gun for her husband, but she didn't expect him to be shocked.
Lu Ting weighed the imitation gun in his hand and found it was as heavy as a real gun. When he took it apart, he found that it was not much different from a real gun. Fortunately, there were no bullets.
"How much is this toy gun?"
"It's three hundred dollars. I remember writing in my elementary school diary that I wanted a toy gun that looked just like a real one. Now it's finally happening, right?"
"Yanyan is so nice, but it's a pity that I don't play with guns now. If it were given to Rourou, she would definitely like it."
Su Yan frowned and asked, "Rou Rou likes playing with guns?"
"Yan Yan, our Rourou likes both boys' and girls' toys. Don't be fooled by her gentle words. If she fights with her female classmates, they will definitely not be able to beat our daughter."
"When did Rourou fight with a female classmate? How come I didn't know? Lu Ting, tell me what happened while I was away."
Lu Ting touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "The dance teacher said Rourou is growing too fast, so the other girls in the dance troupe say bad things about her in the bathroom, giving her nicknames like Bamboo Pole and Giraffe.
Rourou was so angry that she dragged the two female classmates out of the toilet and threw them in front of the teacher.
"You went to school to deal with this, right? Did those two students apologize?"
"Those two girls said Rourou hit them. Rourou didn't hit them at all. She just grabbed one of them and dragged them to the teacher. Actually, being tall does have its advantages. If we really get into a fight, we won't be at a disadvantage."
"I'll talk to Rourou tomorrow. Since she can't join the ballet company, she shouldn't study anymore. I'll let her go to the gym to train her physical fitness."
Lu Ting was puzzled, "Why go to the gym to train?"
"Rou Rou said she wanted to be an Air Force pilot and fly a fighter jet in the future."
"Yan Yan wants to join the army? Being a soldier is very hard, are you really at ease?"
Lu Ting never expected that none of his three sons were willing to join the army. Now his wife told him that his daughter actually wanted to join the army and become a pilot.
Pilot training is not easy. Can Rourou adapt to it? Rourou is so beautiful, with skin as white as her mother. If she joins the army, she will not get tanned. He really doesn't want his little cotton-padded jacket to suffer.
When Su Yan saw Lu Ting's low mood, she knew that he definitely didn't want his daughter to suffer. In fact, she also knew that Lu Ting originally wanted her eldest son Lu Yiming to go to military school.
Unfortunately, Lu Yiming had no intention of joining the army. Even Lu Yian and Lu Yining had never said that they wanted to apply to a military academy in the future, let alone sign up to join the army without going to college.
She didn't want to interfere with her children's future. If she really wanted to, she would have found a way to take all the children to the aristocratic school in Hong Kong.
"Lu Ting, Rourou actually understands the hardships of being a soldier. Learning dance was also very hard for her, but she didn't back down.
Even though her teacher told her she was too tall to join the ballet company, she didn’t let it discourage her or let herself become depressed.
"I'll talk to her tomorrow. If she really wants to be a pilot, she really needs to prepare in advance, otherwise she won't be able to become a pilot even if she gets into the military academy.
As parents, we shouldn't interfere too much with her, but we can't completely ignore her either. With my younger brother and I supporting her, she'll avoid many detours."
Su Yan certainly knew that there was no such thing as fairness in this world, and connections were the shortcut to success. Of course, to succeed through the shortcut, one must also be excellent oneself, otherwise one would likely be eliminated halfway.
"The kids' birthdays are coming up soon. Invite your brothers over for dinner, and let Xiaoyu and Rourou chat while you're there."
"Okay. Yanyan, what did you gain from your trip to Hong Kong this time?"
"I bought a house and it's still under renovation, and my account has reached nine figures. Do you believe it?"
Lu Ting exclaimed, "Yan Yan, are you serious?"
"Yes, but there is no way to transfer all the money directly back to the mainland account now."
It is somewhat troublesome to transfer such a large amount back, and it is easy to arouse suspicion from the people above. Even if it can be successfully transferred back in the end, it is estimated that the taxes in the middle will be quite high, after all, it is foreign exchange.
