"Your mother hasn't come back yet?"
When Lu Changzheng returned home after training, he saw his eldest son sitting on the sofa reading a book. The second and third sons were not at home, and no one knew where they had gone to.
My sister-in-law hasn't finished get off work yet. Mother Wu and her best friend went to the farmers' market. Grandpa goes out to walk his parrot every day without fail.
"Well, not yet."
Dabao raised his head from the book and seemed to be reading very attentively.
Lu Changzheng quickly opened a bottle of ice soda to quench his thirst before his wife came home, otherwise she would have to teach him all about health preservation when she came back.
"What book are you reading?"
Lying on the sofa holding a bottle of soda, Lu Changzheng saw his eldest son's love of reading. As an old father, he naturally felt very relieved.
Among three sons, there is always one who is worry-free.
"I borrowed it from the library." Dabao casually flicked the cover and asked with a smile, "Dad, do you want to watch TV? I don't think Mom will be back soon."
"Let's not read it anymore. It's disturbing your reading." Lu Changzheng shook his head.
Dabao: "I've been watching for a whole day, I'll take a break.
"You need to have a good rest and relax. Your mother has already said that you should learn to balance work and rest."
Lu Changzheng gulped down his soda and made small talk with his eldest son, not noticing that he could hardly stop talking about the child's mother in every three sentences.
Dabao was sweet and diligent: "Dad, I'll go get it for you."
"No, I'll go by myself."
Lu Changzheng stood up quickly and put the socks he had just dropped on the sofa back on the ground to avoid being scolded by his wife when she came back.
There was actually nothing interesting to see at this spot, so he just randomly changed a table and waited in the living room for others to come back.
As a result, the TV screen suddenly "turned off" after less than two minutes.
Dabao asked: "Dad, why is the screen black?"
"I'll go and take a look."
Lu Changzheng stared at the TV and studied it. He reset the buttons and switches of the channel countless times, but there was only someone talking, no human figure appeared on the screen. The antenna and plug were also fine. He didn't know what was wrong.
This appliance costs more than 900 yuan. It has only been less than two weeks since I brought it home and it’s broken?
Lu Changzheng frowned. The key point was that he didn't know how to repair TV.
Dabao gave some advice: "Dad, try tapping twice. When I saw Uncle Zhou's TV was broken, I tapped it twice and it worked."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Lu Changzheng followed his eldest son's instructions and tapped the TV twice. The screen did respond, but it flickered. Before he could take a closer look, he heard Dabao suddenly shout:
"Dad, there's smoke!"
A few thin wisps of smoke suddenly came out of the back cover of the TV. Lu Dabao quickly turned off the power and unplugged the TV in one go.
Dabao: "Dad, what should I do? Did you break the TV?"
"I can't?"
Lu Changzheng muttered to himself, and when the TV stopped smoking, he plugged it in again and tried it twice. This time, not only was there no picture, but even the sound was gone!
"It's fine that you didn't pay a penny, but you're still trying to make things worse for me. I'm waiting to watch a TV show tonight. It starts at 8 o'clock!"
"Won't it be replayed tomorrow during the day?"
"How can the replay be the same? I finally waited until the evening. Look at you. You are so old, but your brain is still not working. You don't know how to control your strength. Why did you shoot a TV worth more than 900 yuan?"
When Liu Meiyu returned home, she saw her grandfather with a dark face, getting angry at Lu Changzheng.
I went over to ask and found out that the TV was broken again.
"Have you found someone to fix it?"
She went over to take a look. There was no way the man knew how to repair a TV. He was just rolling up his sleeves and pretending to fool his father.
"Dabao went to shout."
Lu Changzheng wiped the sweat off his face. He felt really wronged. Who knew that the TV could be so difficult to film?
Other people's black and white ones that cost four or five hundred yuan can be made at will, but this one from him that cost nine hundred yuan has many colors and it smokes after being clapped twice.
"There's a wire connected incorrectly, and the screws here aren't tight enough. Have you ever taken it apart and fixed it yourself?"
Dabao called a TV repairman to take the TV apart and quickly found the cause.
"No, I just bought it..."
After Lu Changzheng finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind. He glanced in the direction of his eldest son and saw that he lowered his head because of "guilty heart".
"Lu Yunzhong!"
Lu Changzheng got angry and picked up the chicken feather duster on the sofa, "Tell the truth! Is it you who did it?"
"Dad...what did you say?"
Although Lu Dabao pretended to be dumb on the surface, his body language told him everything honestly. Before his father's feather duster could fall, he had already jumped to the other side of the sofa. The muscles all over his body reacted as if to prove that he "lacked confidence".
Lu Changzheng was so angry that he didn't care about the presence of outsiders. He waved a feather duster and threatened: "Get over here, I promise I will beat your butt into pieces!"
"Dad, calm down. I can explain it."
Lu Dabao rolled his eyes and shrewdly hid in front of the old man, and even acted coquettishly to the old man: "Grandpa, please save me, I don't want my butt to be beaten to pieces!"
The old man picked up the walking stick at hand and scolded his grandson: "What are you doing? You are so old, can't you educate your children properly?"
"Grandpa! It was this brat who broke the TV!" Lu Changzheng was furious.
Not only did he break the TV, but he even plotted against him and made his own father take the blame. He had just been explaining this to his grandfather for a long time.
"It's just a TV. Dabao is smart to take it apart. You can't even fix a radio."
The old man realized that the TV might have been broken by his great-great-grandson, and he immediately changed his mind and said, "Besides, it will be fixed soon, and it won't delay my watching TV series. Even if it is delayed, there will be a rerun tomorrow."
“…”
Facing his grandfather's extreme attitude, Lu Changzheng still made a final struggle: "Grandpa, he must have broken the antenna of your radio!"
The old man's eyelids twitched. Seeing Dabao lower his head in guilt, he coughed lightly and slapped his thigh: "Oh, I remember now. I accidentally dropped the radio under the cabinet and broke it. Meiyun bought me a new one anyway. Don't talk about that. Put down the feather duster quickly."
“…”
Seeing that his grandfather had started to lie with his eyes open to protect his eldest son, he was old and couldn't compete with his son. He was afraid that his grandfather would get sick from anger, so he could only grit his teeth, put down the feather duster, and stare at his eldest son with eyes like an eagle.
Looking at his biological father's sharp gaze, Lu Dabao felt a chill on his back. Relying on his grandfather's support, he whispered a few words in a pitiful manner into his father's ear. The grandfather nodded and confiscated the feather duster on the sofa.
“…”
Lu Changzheng, who was almost heart-broken by his eldest son, sat on the bench and didn't want to say a word.
But his mind kept flooding with the image of a few hours ago when he thought that Dabao was the smartest and most sensible of his three sons. Now he just felt a burning pain on his face.
Not only does my face hurt, but my brain hurts too.
After waiting for a long time for the TV to be repaired, there was no one else at home, so the old man sat for a while, but couldn't sit still anymore and had to go take care of his physiological needs. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the feather duster with him.
But even without the feather duster, there is still a belt!
Lu Changzheng had prepared the right tools for his eldest son at some point, and as soon as his grandfather left, he captured Lu Dabao effortlessly like an eagle catching a chick, and dragged him to his room.
Today's dish of "stir-fried pork with belt" is a must-try.
Lu Dabao howled for help, but his great-grandfather was not around, so he had to cast his last hope on his mother and Grandma Wu, who were selecting beans in the kitchen and watching the excitement.
"Mom! Grandma! Save me!"
Mother Wu looked embarrassed and wanted to speak, but she just pressed Liu Meiyu's arm gently.
"Mom! Mom! Please don't just stand by and watch me die. My dad was really harsh on me." Seeing that his father was so angry that his face turned red and the belt was swinging in the air, Lu Dabao became scared and held on to the door frame and refused to let go.
"Meiyun, why don't you talk to Changzheng? He listens to you the most."
Mother Wu didn't even have the heart to choose. She frowned and stared at the father and son.
"What are you talking about? I won't say anything." Liu Meiyu shook her head decisively. She had been watching the excitement for a long time without getting involved. Now that Lu Changzheng was disciplining his son, she would not get involved.
"Changzheng knows his limits. Don't worry, Aunt Wu. Stop feeling bad. Let's hurry up and cook."
Almost all the elders in the family are used to triplets, so there has to be one person that they can be scared of at critical moments.
Moreover, the color TV worth hundreds of dollars was secretly dismantled without telling her. Let's not talk about the financial issue. What if something happens if the child is fiddling with these appliances at home without any safety awareness?
He is so smart that he dares to set traps on his own father.
Lu Dabao really didn't deserve the beating he received.
"Mom, Aunt Xiuying is taking Tiantian to the Children's Palace for class tomorrow. Can you take us with you?"
During dinner, Lu Erbao felt that the atmosphere was not right. His eldest brother, father, and great-grandfather didn't seem to talk much, and each one looked more sullen than the other. So he took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"What? You want to learn dancing?" Liu Meiyu put down her chopsticks.
"No," Lu Erbao shook his head quickly, "I haven't been there, I want to go and see, Mom, please, you are the most beautiful, kind and gentle mother in the world."
Erbao, who knows his mother's weaknesses, pesters people and acts coquettishly.
"Hurry up and eat. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Liu Meiyu picked up a piece of meat from his bowl with her chopsticks. Turning around, she saw her eldest son was sitting on the bench, moving around uncomfortably and not eating much. So she picked up two pieces of meat for him to show her concern.
"Mom, my table tennis racket is broken. I'm going to buy a new one tomorrow." Lu Xiaobao raised his head, thinking about his racket.
"Then you should hurry up and eat, go to bed early, and take your second brother to the Children's Palace tomorrow morning. I'll buy you a beat on the way back!"
Liu Meiyu planned the time in her mind. The second and third brothers were all smiling and contented when they heard it. Only the eldest brother sat on the bench, lowered his head and remained silent.
Mainly my butt, it hurts so much!
