"Oh, you worry so much. We went to Guangzhou for over a week and didn't see the kids. What's wrong? We're not going far away. Let's take a good look around the city first. When people ask us, we've never seen any of the city's attractions!"
Comrade Lao Du tried hard to persuade Ren Surong, and Lao Ding on the side also interrupted.
"Hey, hey, hey, take me with you when you go out to play. I haven't really been around the city yet. Then our two families can go out to play together!"
"That's right, wife, we won't go too far at first. Let's just find a place nearby and go and come back the same day. It won't delay anything!"
Comrade Lao Du's mind was working rapidly, trying to come up with various excuses.
"What about lunch?"
Although Ren Surong was moved, it was not much, and he raised another question.
"Let's cook some extra food the night before and have them heat it up the next day. There's a refrigerator on the second floor anyway."
"Xiaomin, what do you think?"
Ren Surong thought about it and came up with no excuses, so he asked Jia Xiaomin who was standing beside him.
"How about we go out and give it a try? Du Bin and Miao Miao are still in their first year of high school, so we still have time to go out. Once they're in their third year, we really won't have time to go out and play!"
Jia Xiaomin was also very excited. They had been married for so many years and their child was about to go to college, but she and Lao Ding had never had a good time out for fun. Now that she had the conditions, she naturally wanted to go out and have some fun.
"Mom, what are you still hesitating about? My brother, Sister Miaomiao, and I are all going to starve to death. Just go out and have fun!"
Du Chen was also persuading his mother. He really hoped that his parents could relax a little and go out for some fun.
"Tsk, you said it so lightly!"
Ren Surong rolled his eyes at Du Chen.
"Old Du, why don't we wait until Du Bin is in his third year of high school before we go out together?"
Ren Surong was also very conflicted. She wanted to go out and play, but was afraid of spending money. She was also worried that the children could not take care of themselves.
"Mom, my brother and sister Miaomiao are graduating from their third year of high school. I'll be graduating from my third year of junior high and will be entering my first year of high school soon. If you still don't want to leave by then, then why don't you wait until I graduate from my third year of high school?"
Du Chen couldn't help but say to his mother, you can find as many excuses as you want.
“That’s right!”
"Mom, you see, you and my dad had time but no money back then. In a few years, you'll have both the time and money, but your health won't allow it! You might as well go out and have fun now while you still have the money, the time, and your health is still good. It will be impossible in the future!"
"Besides, you and my dad, as well as Uncle Ding and Aunt Jia, all lived their lives to support their children. You should also live for yourself and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland!"
The more Du Chen spoke, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but think of things from his previous life and spoke his true feelings directly to Ren Surong.
Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding listened to Du Chen's words and quietly gave him a thumbs-up. Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin also looked at Du Chen with complicated expressions, because what Du Chen said was so right and his summary was so accurate.
"Hey, since you all want to go out, then do as you said!"
Ren Surong had no other choice but to speak to the few people.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on my brother. I'll write down everything he did wrong in a little notebook for you, and we'll settle the score together when you guys get back!"
Du Chen knew that his mother was still worried, so he joked with Ren Surong, trying to make his mother feel relieved and prepare for the next journey.
"Tsk, Du Chen, I think you're no pushover either! My Miaomiao is still the most obedient. I'll have her take a little notebook and write down all the mistakes you and Du Bin made. When we get back, I'll sit here and watch you two get scolded!"
Old Ding said to Du Chen with ill intention.
"Old Ding! You're already an adult, and you're…"
Jia Xiaomin was listening to Lao Ding's speech and she wanted to slap Lao Ding out, what a disgraceful guy!
"Uncle Ding, you are truly great, worthy of being a leader!"
Du Chen praised Lao Ding sincerely.
"Oh, this has nothing to do with being a leader, right?"
Old Ding asked Du Chen curiously, and the people on the side looked at everyone curiously, not understanding why Du Chen said that.
"How can it not matter? You're so good at sitting on the mountain and watching the fight! My parents beat me and my brother, and you just sit there smoking, drinking tea, cracking melon seeds, and having fun watching!"
"Hahaha……"
Du Chen's words made everyone laugh so hard that Lao Ding laughed so hard that his back teeth showed.
"Du Chen, I've discovered that you rely on this mouth!"
Old Ding said to Du Chen with a smile.
"Of course, Uncle Ding, isn't it the mouth that keeps us alive, eating and drinking?"
Du Chen was trying to change Lao Ding's perception of him.
"Okay, you have a good mouth!"
Old Ding gave Du Chen a thumbs up.
"Uncle Ding, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
Du Chen shamelessly accepted Lao Ding's "praise".
Until Du Bin and his friends came home from school, Comrades Lao Ding and Lao Du were still talking about where they were going to play.
"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? You look so happy?"
Du Bin asked Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong curiously.
“…”
No one answered Du Bin. Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding were still happily talking about where they were going to play.
"Chenchen, what are they calling? They're all ignoring me."
Du Bin asked Du Chen dejectedly, and Ding Miaomiao also looked at Du Chen curiously.
"Mom, Dad, and Uncle Ding are planning where to go."
Du Chen answered his brother Du Bin's questions truthfully.
"What, are we going out to play? How long? Is it a holiday?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen happily, as long as he didn't have to go to school, Du Bin would be happy no matter where he went to play.
"Brother, you think too much!"
"What do you mean?"
"Mom, Dad, and Uncle Ding are out playing by themselves. Let's continue with school. It has nothing to do with us!"
Du Chen told Du Bin a bloody reality.
"What the hell, going out to play by yourself? Without us?"
Du Chen asked Du Chen in disbelief.
"yes!"
Du Chen gave Du Bin a positive answer.
"That's too much! That's too much!"
Du Bin said to Du Chen indignantly.
"If you have any opinions, just talk to your parents!"
Du Chen said to Du Bin with a wicked smile.
"Tsk, looking at your evil smile I know you're up to no good!"
Du Bin said to Du Chen with disdain that he was not stupid. As soon as he saw Du Chen's malicious expression, he knew that Du Chen was digging a hole and waiting for him to jump in.
"Chenchen, stop teasing Du Bin. What's going on? Why are your uncle and aunt planning to go out and play?"
Ding Miaomiao was also confused, so she said to Du Chen.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, it was me who suggested this. Mom and Dad are so busy every day, and I wanted them to go out and have some fun. Their world isn't just about us, they also need their own space and time!"
Du Chen spoke seriously to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
