An An and Ke Ke were stunned when they saw Cheng Jingmo coming down from upstairs.
The two of them were holding ice cream in their hands, and it was not right to hide or not hide.
Dad won't beat or scold them, but they don't want to make his dad unhappy.
Cheng Jingmo walked up to the two children. An An and Ke Ke felt guilty and whispered, "Dad..."
Cheng Jingmo half bent over and said, "Brother can't eat ice cream, can this ice cream be given to Dad?"
The two children looked at him in shock, then smiles broke out on their faces. An An quickly handed over the ice cream, "Dad, here."
"Thank you." Cheng Jingmo took the ice cream and said, "Eat it quickly, and be careful not to get it on your clothes."
Cheng Jingmo sat on the sofa, and the two children sat on small stools, looking up at him curiously, waiting for him to eat.
Dad never ate ice cream before, what happened today?
Cheng Jingmo took a bite.
I have to say, it tastes pretty good, sweet, with a rich milky flavor, and melts in your mouth. It is really enjoyable to have one on such a hot day.
No wonder Yu Xiangyang, who is in his thirties, has to eat one from time to time.
Cheng Jingmo nodded, "It's delicious, you guys eat yours."
The two children were so happy when they heard Cheng Jingmo praising the ice cream that it was delicious that they only cared about eating their own food and got ice cream all over their hands.
After the three of them finished eating the ice cream, Cheng Jingmo said, "Go wash your hands and mouth first, then come back to see Dad."
The two children were washing their hands in the bathroom, whispering to each other.
Keke said, "Is Dad going to scold us?"
An An said, "I don't think Dad is angry."
Keke laughed, "Maybe Dad still wants to eat some ice cream."
After the two children finished washing, they walked up to Cheng Jingmo.
"Sit down." Cheng Jingmo said.
The two children sat on their own little stools.
Cheng Jingmo said to them gently, "Dad didn't let you eat ice cream before because it was too cold and he was afraid you would get an upset stomach. But even though Dad told you many times, you still ate ice cream secretly."
The two children lowered their heads guiltily, not daring to look at him.
Cheng Jingmo continued, "Dad also tried it today, and the ice cream is indeed delicious. You are so young and you can't resist the temptation of ice cream. Dad doesn't blame you. Dad thinks that you can eat ice cream in the future."
The two children looked up again, staring at him in confusion and shock.
"But there are conditions," Cheng Jingmo said, "If you can do it, Dad will give it to you."
The two children were still too young. They only heard that they were allowed to eat ice cream without listening to the conditions. They nodded repeatedly to show that they agreed.
Cheng Jingmo said, "The first rule is, from May to September, you can have ice cream three times a week, one each time. You're not allowed to have it in December and January. For the rest of the year, you can only have one a week."
The two children nodded again.
"There's a second rule," Cheng Jingmo said, "If you get sick after eating ice cream, don't cry or make a fuss. Just take the medicine and get the injection."
Cheng Jingmo looked at Keke, "Especially Keke, did you hear me?"
Coco replied firmly, "Yes!"
Cheng Jingmo said seriously, "Remember these two things. You must obey them even when Dad is not around. If Dad finds out that anyone of you doesn't obey them, you won't be able to eat ice cream anymore."
The two children said solemnly: "Dad, we remember it."
Cheng Jingmo said, "Repeat it."
The two children said in unison, "From May to September, you can have three a week. You can't have them in December and January. The rest of the time, you can only have one a week. Also, if you're sick, don't cry or make a fuss. Just get your shots and take your medicine."
Cheng Jingmo nodded in satisfaction, "Eat ice cream openly from now on."
"good!"
Cheng Jingmo was secretly happy in his heart, as he solved the problem of children eating ice cream from the source.
In the past, he had a one-size-fits-all policy and didn’t let his children eat it.
But the two children would always ask their grandparents, uncle and mother to buy them ice cream when he was not around.
He also told those adults not to buy things for their children, but it didn't work. As soon as the children made a fuss or acted like a spoiled child, they bought them.
Especially Yu Xiangyang, he likes to eat it himself, and he took the initiative to buy it even though the child didn’t ask for it.
Now, let the two children remember the rules and follow them themselves.
The two-day exam ended quickly.
Outside the examination room, Cheng Jingmo just received Xiaojie's call, "Don't think about anything after the exam, just take a good rest."
Xiao Jie nodded, then said, "Uncle, my classmates and I have an appointment to have dinner together tonight."
"Okay, be careful." Cheng Jingmo paused and took out another twenty yuan from his pocket. "Is that enough?"
"I'm not asking you for money. I have money myself."
Xiaojie saved some of his unused pocket money, and also some New Year's money. He spent some of it and saved the rest, and now he has saved more than 100 yuan.
Xiao Jie said with an embarrassed expression: "Our classmates mean that we are going to the dance hall after dinner and may not be back tonight."
"No!" Cheng Jingmo refused firmly. "You guys are completely relaxed today, so you'll definitely be dancing and drinking. A dance hall is such a complicated place, it's easy for something to go wrong."
Xiaojie: “…”
Cheng Jingmo said, "When you're drunk, you're prone to impulsive behavior and things like that. That's one thing. Secondly, what if you run into bad guys who drug your drinks or take advantage of you while you're drunk and do something to you? Thirdly, there are both boys and girls here, and staying out all night is a bad influence on everyone."
Xiao Jie said sullenly, "Then I'll come back after I finish eating with them."
"That's not what I meant." Cheng Jingmo said, "You've worked so hard for so long, just go and relax. Call me and tell me which dance hall you're going to. I'll pick you up at twelve o'clock on time."
Xiao Jie's face was filled with excitement. "We're at the Xinmeng Ballroom. If anything changes, I'll call home."
"Well, be safe and drink less."
Cheng Jingmo took the bag of stationery from Xiaojie, got on his bike, and went home alone.
He had originally planned to return to the army tonight, but it seems he can only go back tomorrow morning.
Kids nowadays know how to go to dance halls at a very young age. He is already old, but he has never been to a dance hall.
Thanks to Xiaojie, Cheng Jingmo saw the interior of the dance hall for the first time.
There were a lot of people inside, it was very lively, the light was dim, and it was smoky.
There is a large open space in the middle, which is the stage where men and women dance. The surrounding area against the wall is a circle of small cubicles where people drink and play rock-paper-scissors.
Dim neon lights were flashing, noisy music was playing, and there was a mixture of the pungent smell of cigarettes, sweat, and fragrance. Such an environment made Cheng Jingmo frown.
He was right not to let Xiaojie play outside all night.
Cheng Jingmo searched through the compartments one by one, and soon found Xiaojie and the others.
Xiao Jie was drinking with his classmates when he saw Cheng Jingmo coming. He stood up without hesitation and said, "My uncle is here to pick me up. You guys go have fun. I'm going home first."
