"It will probably be open for business in ten days or half a month!"
Comrade Lao Du thought about the progress of the repair shop's renovation, and then said to Du Chen.
"Dad, now that the repair shop is open, you should focus on that area. Don't go to the living area. It's too tiring running around every day!"
Du Chen persuaded Comrade Lao Du that he was secretly pushing his family to do this and that in order to make their lives better, not to make his parents busy every day.
"Then you have to go over and check on him often, otherwise I won't be at ease."
Comrade Lao Du said hesitantly.
"Then what's there to worry about? Fourth Uncle-in-law is there every day to watch over you. During the holidays, you can go over to check on the rice section and the leaders of other stations. That's all! You can focus on the repair shop in the city and develop the audio modification business when the time comes. You don't have to do the work yourself on weekdays!"
Du Chen sincerely advised Comrade Lao Du, hoping that Comrade Lao Du could take good care of his health and accompany him and his brother Du Bin for a longer time.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll focus on the repair shop in the city, and I won't do anything myself. How's that?"
After hearing Du Chen's persuasion, Comrade Lao Du felt warm in his heart, so he couldn't help but agree to Du Chen.
Seeing that Comrade Lao Du sincerely agreed to his promise, Du Chen couldn't help but smile and felt very satisfied.
"Oh, you're all in the store! Is the parent-teacher conference over?"
At this time, Lao Ding appeared at an inopportune time and asked the people present.
"It closed a long time ago. We've been here talking for ages. How was the gym today?"
Comrade Lao Du spoke to Lao Ding. On the other side, Ren Surong was still chatting quietly with Jia Xiaomin, and didn't pay any attention to Lao Ding.
"Not bad, it's pretty stable every day now. Besides, the young people in the Public Security Bureau like to go to the gym. The facilities and environment of our gym are much better than those in the Public Security Bureau!"
Whenever the topic of the gym comes up, Lao Ding can't help but chatter. He clocks in at the office every day and then goes to the gym for the whole day. Lao Ding's life is so happy.
"Old Ding, would you like a drink tonight?"
Comrade Lao Du glanced at his wife and Jia Xiaomin, and saw that the two were still chatting among themselves and no one was paying attention to them, so he couldn't help but speak to Lao Ding.
"What's going on? Why did you want to drink?"
Old Ding also glanced at his wife and Ren Surong secretly, and said to Comrade Old Du in surprise.
"All three kids did well on the test. Du Chen suggested we go out for dinner tonight. Don't you think we should take the opportunity to have a few drinks?"
Comrade Lao Du said to Lao Ding with a smile.
"Really? All three kids did well on the test? We should have some wine to celebrate!"
Old Ding nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go now. It's almost six o'clock. Let's go straight to dinner?"
Comrade Lao Du heard that Lao Ding also wanted to drink something, looked at his watch, and found that it was almost six o'clock, so he said to Lao Ding.
"Wife, Sister Ren, it's getting late, shall we go eat now? Didn't we say we'd eat out today? If we're any later, there won't be any tables left in the restaurant!"
Comrade Lao Du had just finished speaking when Lao Ding directly reminded Jia Xiaomin.
"Sister Ren, it's almost time. Why don't we go straight to the restaurant?"
After hearing what Lao Ding said, Jia Xiaomin glanced at the quartz clock and found that it was indeed late, so she said to Ren Surong.
"Lao Du, Lao Ding, pack up, close the door and let's go eat!"
Ren Surong was rarely happy today, so he didn't want to continue writing about opening a shop to make money, and greeted Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding.
There is strength in numbers. Within two minutes, Comrade Lao Du, Lao Ding, and Du Bin and others had finished cleaning up the shop, and everyone left the optical shop together.
"Lao Ding, Lao Du, where are we going to eat? Where is the car parked? Let's just drive there."
Standing at the door of the store, Jia Xiaomin asked Lao Du and Lao Ding.
"Let's just find a random store nearby and walk over. Our car is inside the complex, so we need to go back and get it!"
Comrade Lao Du directly answered Jia Xiaomin, don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking. Since you are going to drink, you have to find an excuse not to drive.
"Tsk, if you want to drink, just say so! You usually have to drive everywhere, and now you're too lazy to go to the community to get a car?"
Ren Surong saw through Comrade Lao Du's thoughts at a glance and spoke to him with disdain.
Comrade Lao Du just chuckled twice and did not refute.
"Let's go, let's go. I remember there's a good restaurant not far away. Let's go there quickly. I've been busy all day and I'm hungry!"
Old Ding was afraid that Jia Xiaomin would object to him drinking, so as soon as Ren Surong finished speaking, he rushed to speak, and while he was talking, he took action.
Seeing Lao Ding's rogue behavior, Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong looked at each other and could only agree to let their men go out for drinks. On the way to the restaurant, Du Bin chatted with Du Chen next to him.
"Chenchen, do you want to go to the gym tomorrow?"
Du Chen glanced at Du Bin and immediately understood that his brother Du Bin wanted to use him as a shield.
"I don't want to go. What's the point of going?"
"It's so boring to stay at home. I can exercise in the gym, and there are also billiards and table tennis. How fun!"
Du Bin used his own lack of needs to try to lure Du Chen to the gym.
"Brother, if you want to go, just say so. Why drag me along?"
Du Chen directly exposed Du Bin's intention.
"Sister Miaomiao, do you want to go to the gym tomorrow?"
Du Chen then asked Ding Miaomiao.
"Ah, I have other plans tomorrow. I'm not going to the gym."
Ding Miaomiao also saw Du Bin's intention and did not give Du Bin any chance.
"Miaomiao, what are your plans for tomorrow? It's a rare Saturday off, what are you going to do?"
Du Bin couldn't hide his disappointment and asked Ding Miaomiao who was smiling beside him.
"Tomorrow I'm going to review the questions I got wrong on the midterm exam so I don't make the same mistakes next time!"
Ding Miaomiao's answer made Du Bin even more disappointed. You are working so hard, but you are going to leave yourself with no way to survive!
"Miaomiao, it wouldn't take you a day or two to review your mistakes. We just finished our exams. Let's go to the gym tomorrow and relax for a while!"
Du Bin tried hard to persuade Ding Miaomiao, hoping that Ding Miaomiao would change her mind.
"How about this..."
Ding Miaomiao was a little hesitant. She didn't want to reject Du Bin's proposal, but she didn't want to ruin her original plan either.
"Brother, one more day isn't a big deal. Let's do as Sister Miaomiao said tomorrow. If you want to go to the gym, we can go on Sunday. Why do you have to go tomorrow?"
Du Chen saw Ding Miaomiao's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to resolve their differences. Anyway, Du Bin had two days off this week, so it didn't matter which day he went to the gym.
