Chapter 62
Lu Cheng didn't sleep at noon. He was the only one in the empty house, and he couldn't sleep. Seeing that it was almost half past one, Lu Cheng closed the door and went to the army next door.
However, after waiting at the army gate for a long time, he didn't see Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici coming back, so he had to give up.
At this time, Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici were leaving the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Qingqing bought three ice creams, and Director Ma wrapped them with oil paper, and then wrapped them again with the defective cloth she bought. The weather is hot, and if it is not wrapped well, the ice cream will melt easily.
"Mom, can I eat one when I get home?" Lu Haici sat on the bicycle, thinking about the ice cream all the time.
"Sure." Lin Qingqing said. She is not that particular. Some parents today are so harsh in disciplining their children that they can't eat this or that. Lin Qingqing is not that particular.
"Wow, that's great." Lu Haici licked his lips, "Mom, we have three ice cream bars, one for you and one for me. Who should I give the other one to?" He didn't think about his dad at all.
Lin Qingqing said, "For your dad."
"For dad... Dad doesn't like to eat." In Lu Haici's impression, dad just doesn't like to eat these things, not even milk candy.
Lin said gently, "If your father doesn't like it, I'll give it to you."
Lu Haici's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Lin said gently, "Really, but you have to send it to your father first."
"Yeah." Lu Haici's heart was relieved. Dad definitely didn't want to eat it, so he could have two ice creams. It was really great.
After two o'clock, Lin took Lu Haici to the family compound. Lin put him down gently and took out two ice creams: "One is for you, and one is for your father. I'm going home first."
"I know, don't worry, mom." Lu Haici took the ice cream and walked towards the troops.
The ice cream didn't melt much because it was well wrapped. It might also be because it was frozen more solid when it was in the freezer before. Lu Haici came to the gate of the army with two popsicles and said to the guard, "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for my dad."
The guard knew Lu Haici. When Lin Qingqing had not married Lu Cheng and followed the army, Lu Haici often came to see Lu Cheng with a lunch box at mealtime, so the guard knew him after seeing him many times. Seeing Lu Haici at this time, the guard joked, "Haici, what do you want to see your dad for?"
Lu Haici said obediently, "My mother and I bought popsicles at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I brought them to my dad." After thinking for a while, Lu Haici added, "If dad is very busy, forget it." This way, if dad can't eat it, he can give it to him.
The guard naturally didn't know what Lu Haici was thinking: "Wait a minute, I'll call your father."
Lu Cheng was reviewing documents, and when the phone rang, he didn't think it would be Lu Haici who came to see him: "Hello, I'm Lu Cheng."
The guard: "Deputy Regiment Lu, Lu Haici is here, he said he bought popsicles at the supply and marketing cooperative, and came to give you the popsicles."
Lu Cheng: "I don't... I'll be right over." He wanted to say that he didn't eat popsicles, but when he thought that the popsicles must have been bought by Lin Qingqing, he changed his words.
At the entrance of the army, Lu Haici stared at the guard and said: "Is my father busy?"
The guard smiled: "Your father is free, he said he will be right over."
"Ah?" Lu Haici's little face completely fell.
Even so, Lu Haici didn't have the courage to run with the ice cream, so he could only wait for his father here. Lu Cheng didn't let Lu Haici wait for long, and he showed up in less than a minute. He looked at Lu Haici with a resentful look, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly: "Where's the ice cream?"
Lu Haici handed him one of the ice creams in his hand: "I've already eaten it when I was in the supply and marketing cooperative." He said this without thinking.
Lu Cheng tore open the ice cream package. Although the ice cream didn't melt badly, it had melted and was a little softened. He opened his mouth and took a big bite. The cool feeling flowed through his mouth and melted into his whole body. I have to say, eating popsicles in summer feels so refreshing.
As Lu Haici watched, he also angrily tore open the packaging of his own ice cream, telling his father with his actions that he still had some.
"So what?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Lu Haici didn't understand for a moment. He stuck out his little tongue and licked it in small bites, which was completely different from his father who ate one-third of it in one bite.
Lu Cheng: "You said you had already eaten it at the supply and marketing cooperative, so what?"
"So I ate two today, and you only ate one." Lu Haici said, "So mom likes me more." Lu
Cheng didn't expect this little bastard to have such thoughts. He lowered his eyes to look at the little bastard who was not even as tall as his waist, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me this ice cream too."
"?" Lu Haici widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief, as if his father had told him some bedtime story and shocked him so much that he forgot to lick the ice cream.
Lu Cheng said expressionlessly: "I am your father. Do you want to honor me, or do you not want to?"
If Lin Qingqing were here, she would definitely say that Lu Cheng was "morally kidnapping".
Suddenly, Lu Haici's whole body froze. He looked at the ice cream, then at his father, his eyes red with grievance.
"It turns out that you are a little liar. What you said before about honoring me was all fake." Lu Cheng continued.
"I didn't, I'm not a liar." Lu Haici defended himself loudly, his voice choked.
"Then I don't have enough to eat, give me the other ice cream." Lu Cheng said as a matter of course.
Lu Haici hid the ice cream behind him: "This is given to me by my mother." How could a father do this, how could he snatch ice cream from a child? Wuwuwuwu... I knew he wouldn't come.
"Did mommy ever tell me that I can't eat two popsicles?" Lu Cheng did this on purpose, knowing full well that Lin Qingqing wouldn't say that.
Lu Haici pursed his lips and said nothing. Mommy didn't say that, but Lu Haici also knew that mommy liked obedient children. What to do? Lu Haici bit his lower lip, tears streaming. In the end, when daddy really didn't change his words, he handed the popsicle he had just licked to daddy.
At this time, the cream on the popsicle was already falling off.
Lu Cheng took it as a matter of course, and then gulped it down.
"Wuwuwu..." Lu Haici couldn't help but gulp loudly, then pushed Lu Cheng away and ran towards the family courtyard.
Lu Cheng watched him run and continued to eat ice cream in big mouthfuls. He felt even better when he ate two ice creams at a time.
The guard looked at Lu Cheng for a long time. Was the Lu Cheng who was fighting with his son for ice cream really the deputy commander Lu he knew?
Lu Cheng noticed his gaze, turned his head and said, "Don't spoil your children." After that, he strode away.
Wuuwuwu...
Lu Haici cried all the way home. Many people heard his crying on the way, but he ran too fast and didn't give them a chance to ask.
Lin Qingqing was doing the accounts at home. There were four women including Yu Xiuyao who participated in the work of washing the ingredients. Naturally, she had to calculate everyone's accounts. Halfway through the calculation, she seemed to hear Lu Haici crying.
Lin Qingqing rubbed her temples and thought she had heard it wrong. Lu Haici was happily eating popsicles at this time, why would he cry?
"Wuwuwu..."
Lu Haici cried and ran into the yard and jumped into the house. Before Lin Qingqing came to her senses, he had already run into the room and threw himself into Lin Qingqing's arms: "Mom... Wuwuwu..." Seeing his mother, all his grievances burst out and he cried even more miserably.
Lin Qingqing quickly put down the things in her hands: "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"Dad, it's a bad dad, Wuwuwu..."
Lu Cheng?
Lin gently touched his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his tears: "How did your father bully you? Didn't you go to bring him ice cream?" It would have been
fine if the ice cream was not mentioned. As soon as the ice cream was mentioned, Lu Haici couldn't stop crying: "Dad... Dad ate two... two ice creams, wuwuwu..." He licked the two ice creams, wuwuwuwu...
Lin gently: "..." She didn't know that Lu Cheng had this side. Was he deliberately bullying his own son?
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry. What's ice cream? I'll make you French fries, okay?" Lin Qingqing comforted helplessly, "French fries are better than ice cream."
Lu Haici choked a few times: "French fries? ...better than...better than ice cream?"
Lin Qingqing said: "Yes, okay, let's make French fries, and don't give them to your father when they are ready, okay?"
"Don't give them to him, hide them." Lu Haici answered without hesitation.
Lin Qingqing heard that his crying was reduced to intermittent sobbing, and continued: "Then you go wash ten big sweet potatoes, and mom will make them for you after she settles the account, okay?"
"Yeah, okay, I...I'll go wash them." Lu Haici ran out, he came to the kitchen, picked up the wooden basin, and went to pick out ten of the biggest sweet potatoes.
Lin Qingqing shook her head. It is said that no matter how old a woman is, there is a little princess in her heart, and no matter how old a man is, there is a little boy in his heart.
The four people calculated the accounts very quickly. In addition, Lin Qingqing had calculated two before Lu Haici came, so after counting the rest and checking that they were correct, Lin Qingqing went out.
Outside, Lu Haici was washing sweet potatoes with his butt curled up, one by one, and he washed them very seriously.
Lin Qingqing took a kitchen knife, came to his side, peeled the sweet potatoes, and asked curiously: "Haici, why did your father eat both ice creams? What did he tell you?"
Lu Haici thought about the delicious French fries. The matter of the ice cream had calmed down a lot, but he was still angry when he mentioned it. "Dad said that if I want to be filial to him, I have to give him both ice creams. If I don't, I'm not filial to him."
Lin Qingqing: "..." It's hard to imagine that this is what the serious Vice Tuan Lu would say.
"I... I'm a good child, I... I gave all the ice creams to my dad." Although Lu Haici has calmed down about this matter, he still feels uncomfortable when he talks about it, so his eyes are red again.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly said: "Your dad is too bad, we will make French fries for you alone." But son, don't show off in front of your dad.
