Chapter 250 Little Sun
During lunch, Wei Ling called Sister Lin and Lu Hehuan, and they went to the cafeteria together.
Lin Shu casually mentioned that she wanted to buy another bicycle for the family. It was not difficult for her to get a bicycle ticket now. Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming could help, and even Yang Shumin and Zheng Jie could help. She felt that the price of 150-180 was too expensive.
The average person only earned 30 yuan a month, and a family would have to save money for a year to buy a bicycle.
She thought it would be great if she could buy a second-hand one.
Wei Ling smiled and said, "Don't even think about it. Nowadays, everyone who buys a bicycle treats it as a treasure. It's impossible to sell it second-hand. Even if there are special circumstances at home and the bicycle cannot be taken away, it will be bought by relatives and friends. There is no chance of selling it second-hand."
As for buying a scrap bicycle and assembling it yourself?
Don't dream. Bicycles are so precious and durable. One can ride for decades.
Some people are still riding bicycles from the 1930s and 1940s. If it is really scrapped and cannot be ridden, it means that it cannot be repaired, and it is even more impossible to buy it back and assemble it yourself.
So you have to buy a new one.
Sister Lin knew that Lin Shu wanted to buy a bicycle for her parents' family, so that it would be convenient for Lin Yue and Lin's father to go out.
The money must be borrowed, and her parents will pay it back.
She said, "Let's buy a new one. It can be used for many years."
Lin Shu thought about it and it made sense. In her previous life, her uncle's family had a bicycle that seemed to be bought in the late 1960s, but it was still being ridden two thousand years later. Her uncle took good care of the bicycle, not letting it get wet in the rain or sun, and regularly oiled and maintained it. If the tires were not good, they would be replaced. It really felt like it could be ridden for a lifetime.
The quality was excellent.
She didn't want a second-hand bicycle anymore, so she simply got a bicycle ticket to buy a new one and asked her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law to take it back.
After dinner, Sister Lin followed Lu Hehuan, while Lin Shu and Wei Ling strolled and chatted for a while, and then took the bus back to the family compound.
She originally thought that the children would be playing with their friends downstairs, but she didn't see anyone. Instead, two old ladies told her that the children went to the nursery.
Lin Shu thanked the two old ladies and went to the nursery.
The nursery is where the employees look after their children. There is no winter or summer break here. School ends later in the evening, when the adults get off work.
When Lin Shu entered the door, she met an old lady wearing black-framed glasses, a blue-black suit and a long haircut. It was Director Du.
Although the old lady's back was still straight, she looked a little lonely. When she saw Lin Shu, her eyes lit up and she waved and greeted her, "Comrade Xiaolin!"
Lin Shu hurriedly greeted her, "Director Du, the children have caused you trouble again." Director
Du: "Absolutely not! They are the most sensible children I have ever seen."
Director Du couldn't stop talking when talking about Panpan and Tiantian, and all kinds of compliments came out of his mouth, "These two children have grown up a lot and are more sensible but have not lost their innocence. Comrade Xiaolin, you have educated them well."
Lin Shu hurriedly said humbly, "It's the adults in our family who taught us by example."
She has always been reluctant to take the credit for Panpan and Tiantian's excellent performance on herself. She believed that the children were naturally smart and kind, and that their grandparents and other elders with positive values taught them by example, so they would become more and more outstanding.
Principal Du felt that she was becoming more humble, not arrogant or impatient, and could not help but talk to her about the issue of children's education.
"I have always emphasized that children's education is a big deal, and parents cannot be hands-off managers, but many parents are not aware of this problem at all. They think raising children is just herding sheep..." The old lady regarded Lin Shu as a soulmate, because Lin Shu had written a letter of advice to the education department to attach importance to education. She began to tell Lin Shu about her educational philosophy and complained about the neglect of education from leaders to parents...
Lin Shu listened quietly. Maybe because she died once and her previous life was too bad, she developed a character that goes with the flow.
Go with the flow, follow the trend of the times, follow your own physical condition, etc.
A person's struggle or lying down is determined by his energy.
If he is a person who cannot sit still, it is impossible to let him lie down. If he is a person who lacks energy, he cannot fly no matter how much he is pumped up.
The same is true for education.
It is meaningless to talk about education without considering the context of the times.
From ancient times to the present, social education and family education have changed for several years. Even in the next few decades, educational concepts will continue to change with economic changes.
Different times have different missions and different times have different needs.
No one stipulates that you must keep up with the times. The so-called "if you don't work hard, you will be abandoned by the times" is also a kind of PUA.
Looking at the somewhat angry old lady, Lin Shu smiled and said, "Principal Du, we just need to have a clear conscience, and there is no need to force others to cooperate with us."
Now the whole society does not attach importance to education. After graduating from junior high school and high school, they go to the countryside. Parents are thinking about how to keep their jobs and how to get a stable job for their children. For the stable job, some people have a very low moral bottom line.
That's why many people actively report people around them and grab the small brags of people around them to gain benefits for themselves.
The whole social atmosphere is like this. Simply talking about educational concepts is bound to be very tiring.
Just like eugenics, forcing members to not have children, even if they don't want to, they think you are sick for forcing them, let them know that raising children is more about quality than quantity, guide them to put more experience into making money, then they will not be so focused on having children.
Lin Shu didn't want to talk about these things with the old lady at first, after all, they were educated in different eras and backgrounds, and their thoughts are different.
But old lady Du kept talking to Lin Shu, and she felt that Lin Shu understood her and could solve her depression.
Now those parents are in a daze themselves, and they don't take good care of their children. Many children are quite smart, but they become more and more crooked when they grow up.
This... the old lady is heartbroken, how can this family be like this?
Lin Shu saw that she was really upset, so she talked to her.
As an educator, you just need to have a clear conscience and then guide them. As for whether the other party is receptive to the teaching, that is their problem.
You teach them to be self-reliant, but their parents and environment are teaching them that "if the father is a hero, the son is a hero, if the father is a jerk, the son is a jerk." It must be difficult for you to go against the current.
Lin Shu smiled softly and said, "I just take care of my own family and don't care about others. Whether other children are good or bad, their families will bear the responsibility, not my responsibility."
Chang Xiaogang went astray, Zhang Xiaoliang went astray, Xu Yaoyao went astray, and there were many other adults and children in Lujiazhuang who may have gone astray intentionally or unintentionally. She saw it, but she didn't want to intervene.
Maybe she would spend a lot of energy to pull back a person who was about to go astray, but why should she intervene?
She is not the Virgin Mary?
Principal Du is just the principal of a nursery. She has seen the shortcomings of some parents in educating their children. She does not agree and is anxious. She wants to give the children the right guidance. However, if the family and the teacher do not cooperate, the concepts of both sides conflict, and forced guidance will only intensify the conflict. What makes
Principal Du angry now is that some parents guide their children to flatter the powerful, judge people by appearance, be snobbish, and be profit-seeking, etc. However, if those parents rely on these to make a good living in this era, how can you ask them not to educate their children with this set of concepts?
If your child and someone else's child are facing competition, one of them needs to go to the countryside, and the other can go to work in a unit, who wouldn't want to try their best to give the opportunity to their child?
Those who have the ability and the means will definitely work hard, and those who can't work hard can only go to the countryside.
They didn't know that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and they felt that going to the countryside was a choice that would ruin their lives. Moreover, even if the college entrance examination was resumed, many people would lose brighter opportunities after going to the countryside.
If Lin Shu didn't know the future direction, she would definitely leave better opportunities for her children and relatives.
Who wouldn't?
Principal Du originally wanted to talk to Lin Shu about some wrong parenting methods that she couldn't get used to, but she didn't expect to be persuaded by Lin Shu in the end.
She stared at Lin Shu intently, feeling strange. "Comrade Xiao Lin, why do I feel that..."
He is obviously a young man in his twenties, but why does he speak so clearly, as if he has seen all kinds of life and
his heart is as calm as water? She has grown up for so many years, but she is still not as open-minded and clear-headed as a young man?
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Principal Du, it's getting late. I'll take the children back to cook."
Principal Du came to her senses and said hurriedly, "Oh, okay."
She accompanied Lin Shu and said with emotion, "What good children they are. Children who can be friends with them are lucky."
Lin Shu was also quite proud and said, "Some people in this world are born little suns and big stars. They are full of energy and automatically glow and give warmth to everyone who is close to them."
They don't need to do anything earth-shattering. A smile or a greeting can bring happiness and warmth to the people around them.
At this time, the big and small children in the nursery were listening to Tiantian and Panpan's performance stories. They have such a talent that they can perform the comic books they have read and the stories they have heard, and several children can perform them in different roles.
Not only the children, but also the teachers were fascinated by it.
Today, they first came to the nursery to play games together. They were not simple house games, but games with scripted stories. At noon, they followed Li Li's home for lunch, and in the afternoon, they came to the nursery to tell them stories.
This day was quite fulfilling.
Seeing Lin Shu coming, several children immediately jumped up, "Go home!"
"Ah? Go home?"
The children who were immersed in the story were stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted, "No, we still want to watch, we still want to watch!"
Several teachers also praised Tiantian and the others for their good performance, "They are really natural actors." As
soon as Tiantian, Panpan and Hou Wei left, Li Li and the others followed, and the other children also began to get restless.
The teacher said one after another, "Don't worry, mom will pick you up after work."
Panpan also turned around and said loudly, "Don't cry, if you cry, we won't come tomorrow!"
The children who were about to cry immediately closed their mouths and widened their eyes. The big tears that were about to fall were held back in their eye sockets and dared not fall.
"No, I'm not crying." The children said one after another.
Panpan laughed and said, "Okay, we will come again tomorrow, play games in the morning, and tell stories in the afternoon!"
"Oh, oh, that's great!" The children cheered and waved to them, "Goodbye, brother, goodbye, sister!"
They were very polite.
The teacher was surprised to see one of the most timid and crying little kids saying goodbye obediently, and another domineering and unruly child who liked to bully his classmates also saying goodbye obediently.
These children are all leaders in their families, and some of them are either timid or domineering, and are very difficult to deal with.
Today, because of the arrival of Tiantian and Panpan, they are all very well-behaved, and they don’t have any of their usual problems.
Looking at the backs of Lin Shu and the children leaving, a teacher said to Principal Du: "Old children have a great influence on younger children."
Some children like to lose their temper and refuse to listen to their parents and teachers, but they listen to older children very much and obey them.
Principal Du looked at the children in the classroom. The little children are all cute and soft, but as they grow up, some of them become hateful.
Lin Shu led several children home, including three of her own children, Li Li, Huang Han, Guan Ze and five others, forming a string of little tails.
When they reached the intersection, Lin Shu said to Guan Ze and the others, "It's getting late, go home, so your family won't worry."
Guan Ze still had some unsatisfied feelings, he really wanted to go out and play with Panpan and Tiantian, or invite them to play at home.
Panpan: "You guys go home, we'll meet downstairs after breakfast tomorrow."
Guan Ze and the others agreed immediately, without forcing them.
Li Li and the others also said goodbye and went home one after another, and they were all very well behaved.
Originally, when Panpan and Tiantian were not here, these half-grown children had their summer vacation, which was really a headache for the parents.
They were too old to go out and play by themselves, but they were too young to be very opinionated and the adults couldn't keep an eye on them.
Moreover, they are all at an age when they have a strong sense of self-awareness. They are very competitive and self-respecting. They can fight when playing with each other, and they can quarrel when their parents say a few words.
In short, they are very difficult to lead.
Now that Tiantian and Panpan have come, those who are the same age or one or two years older have quickly found an organization and automatically recognize the two as the bosses. Even the ones with bad tempers are very docile in front of the two.
For example, Guan Ze wanted to play a gun battle to kill the devils and catch spies, but Tiantian said she wanted to play the People's Liberation Army to save the people, and the military doctors and soldiers acted together.
If someone asks someone to listen to him, he will lose his temper or break up with him if they don't listen. Tiantian said so and Panpan agreed. Guanze didn't hesitate for a second and changed her words to save the people.
Back home, Lin Shu prepared to cook, and the children helped to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.
The autumn heat is fierce. It hasn't rained for the past two days. The temperature is a bit high and the air is dry. Lin Shu said she made cold noodles for them.
Now as long as Lin Shu says to do something, the children basically know what side dishes are needed and can help.
Cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, oil beans and so on have been picked. Now the vegetables are ripe and they have to be picked every day. They were small yesterday, but they have grown up today and will be old tomorrow.
While cooking, Lin Shu said to Tiantian and Panpan: "Look, you can still make friends in a different place, right?"
At home, you miss your friends so much that you can't leave, but in fact, you can still make friends in a different place.
Panpan said arrogantly: "There's nothing we can do. Who made us so charming?"
Hou Wei: "This makes everyone love you and flowers bloom when they see you."
Tiantian: "You can call me Hou Xiaohuaer from now on."
The three children laughed and were very happy.
Facts have proved that not only children like to play with them, but adults like them too.
Doctor Zhan came with Chen Yanming again, and brought medical books to Panpan and Tiantian.
Lin Shu saw that Doctor Zhan thought highly of these children and even brought professional textbooks for medical students.
These children learned to recognize herbs from their grandfather and Qian Dingduo, played with acupuncture point wooden figurines, followed their godmother to equip the medicine box, and studied the medical encyclopedia. The
two children also accepted everything, like a sponge, and learned Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Well, they met Lu Changfu in the clinic before and learned some veterinary medicine.
No matter whether they use what they have learned or not, they talk very professionally when playing house.
Zhan Qiuran told the three children the order of learning, what to read first and what to read later, "Just watch it for fun, some content is particularly interesting, and some cases are also very interesting."
People who like things are like this, they find things interesting that others find very boring and profound.
The book that Zhan Qiuran gave had a picture of human anatomy, which made the three children exclaim in amazement.
"Boys and girls not only look different, but they are also different inside."
The three children immediately lay down to study it.
After dinner, Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran were excited to take the three children downstairs to play.
Lin Shu: "You two go for a walk, the children will go to bed later."
Panpan immediately said: "Mom, it's not even seven o'clock yet!"
Lin Shu looked at the three innocent light bulbs, and asked, "Aren't you delaying the godparents from finding a partner?"
Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran liked the three children and happily led them away.
Lu Shaotang held his wife's waist and whispered, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
It was the beginning of autumn, and although it was still very sunny during the day, it was a little cooler at night than before.
Lin Shu: "Let's take a walk downstairs to help digest the food."
She poured some floral water for herself and Lu Shaotang, took his arm and went downstairs for a walk.
Lu Shaotang liked her to take his arm and walk together, listening to her talk about family matters in a sweet and soft voice, such as how the eldest sister and Lu Hehuan were doing well in the party school, Wei Ling was helping a lot, the mother and the eldest sister-in-law would come to deliver the goods tomorrow, the children were very popular in the nursery, etc.
This made him feel at ease, as if all the previous fights had a place to go.
In the early autumn of 1974, the provincial capital was less tense and confrontational than at the beginning of the movement, and more lively.
There were still red armbands patrolling during the day, but at night, people came out quietly with baskets and bags to sell things.
Those who had food came out to sell some food. There was no need to sell any delicacies these days, just buns, steamed bread, and cakes were easy to sell.
Some people sold small items. In the dry autumn, some people started selling clam oil, balm, etc. Some people sold defective socks, plastic combs, and even hairpins.
Lin Shu was curious and took Lu Shaotang to take a look. It looked exactly the same as what Xiuxiu and the others had made.
Is this a counterfeit?
She picked it up and looked at it, and bought two of the five-cent and two-cent ones.
She tried it to feel the hairpins. They were all factory products. The cloth, wool and yarn used were similar, and the craftsmanship was pretty good.
In those days when materials were scarce, there were relatively few low-quality fakes. After the reform and opening up, low-quality fakes would be everywhere.
Lu Shaotang: "What's the matter?"
Lin Shu told him. She probably just imitated it and sewed a few to sell them in retail to supplement the family income.
In those days, the policy was not relaxed. If you didn't have the resources, you could only sell limited goods secretly, and it was impossible to make a fortune.
The reason why her family made money was because they opened a sideline business directly for the brigade. It was different after passing the open road, and they could sell with confidence.
If this woman wanted to make money, she could actually cooperate with the street office.
The street took the lead and organized a group of women to make hair ornaments together. That was a small street workshop, which could make much more money than doing it secretly.
Of course, not all grassroots cadres were as sensible as the secretary of the Lujiazhuang branch and the team leader. It was also possible that after telling the street, the benefits were taken away by others and they could not get anything.
The resources in the city and the countryside are different, it all depends on how they are used.
The next morning, Zhan Qiuran got up early to help Lin Shu make breakfast.
Originally, she was going to sleep in the same room with the children at night, but Chen Yanming gave his room to her and Tiantian, and he slept in the small room with the two boys.
Lin Shu did not refuse her help, "Help me cut some green onions, we will have egg pancakes in the morning."
Zhan Qiuran cut the green onions as seriously as she did when she was doing surgery, as if she was facing a formidable enemy. The green onions were cut neatly, just like Lu Shaotang.
Lin Shu laughed at her.
Zhan Qiuran was a little embarrassed, "I'm not good at cooking."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "But you cut vegetables very beautifully."
Zhan Qiuran blinked, the green onions were a little irritating to the eyes, "It's a professional habit."
Lin Shu: "You should cook less and cut less vegetables. You are a doctor, your hands are very important and must be strictly protected."
If you cut or burn your hand while cooking a meal, and you delay holding the scalpel, you will delay saving lives, which is not worth it.
Chen Yanming came in with a toothbrush in his mouth, "Yes, Director Zhan, don't go into the kitchen. From now on, I will be the one cooking for our family."
He and Lu Shaotang had just returned from morning exercise. Chen Yanming wanted to buy breakfast, but Lin Shu got up early today and told them not to buy it.
The aroma of the egg pancakes was too strong, and soon the children got up and ran over.
Lin Shu said to the children, "I will cook at home at noon, you have to come back to eat."
The children nodded in agreement. Hou Wei didn't care about brushing his teeth and wanted to eat the egg pancakes. It was really too fragrant.
Lin Shu didn't force him to brush his teeth first, and it would be the same if he brushed his teeth after eating.
She also told the children that grandma and auntie would come in the afternoon, and asked them to go home early.
When they heard that grandma was coming, the children immediately said that they would not go out.
Lin Shu: "But you promised your younger brothers and sisters in the nursery, you should still explain to them that you have something to do and can't play games and tell stories with them today."
Children should learn to refuse, and at the same time, they should learn to explain in time, and can't just let people go.
The children nodded in agreement while eating egg pancakes.
After Zhan Qiuran finished eating the egg pancakes, he packed two snacks in a lunch box for lunch.
Lin Shu originally thought that Fang Dihua and sister-in-law would come in the afternoon, after all, driving a tractor is much slower, but they arrived at ten o'clock in the morning!
Lin Shu heard the voice and hurried downstairs, and asked in surprise: "Mom, sister-in-law, what time are you leaving?"
Sister-in-law Lu smiled and said: "We went to bed at dusk yesterday, and woke up early today and couldn't fall asleep, so we just got up and hurried on the road." Fang Dihua
was wearing a hat and looked out as soon as she got out of the car, "Have the children gone to school?"
Lin Shu: "It's summer vacation. They went to the nursery. I'll go call them later."
Fang Dihua: "Don't Stop playing with them, let's go deliver the goods early and don't keep them waiting."
Lin Shu: "Mom, you and sister-in-law go upstairs and wash up first, I'll make you something to eat to rest."
Fang Dihua waved her hand, "We are not hungry, we had egg rolls in the morning, and we brought several more with us, so we ate a lot when we rested on the road."
She insisted on delivering the goods first, Lin Shu was afraid that sister-in-law Lu was tired, and the tractor would be tired after driving for so long.
Sister-in-law Lu smiled and said, "Not tired, how can we just get started? It's not even half an hour to drive on the road for two hours."
Whenever there is something important to do, they don't want to play for a minute and will never delay their work.
Lin Shu packed up and called Wei Ling's office.
After the call, they set out to deliver the goods.
When passing by the nursery, Lin Shu went down to ask the children whether they would go with them or wait in the nursery for them to pick them up.
The three children decisively followed to deliver the goods, said goodbye to the other children happily, and asked Guan Ze and the other two to stay in the nursery.
Although Guan Ze and the other two wanted to go and play, they agreed to stay in the nursery.
Pan Pan, Tian Tian and Hou Wei ran to find Fang Dihua.
After getting on the tractor, the children hugged Fang Dihua and kissed her, covering her face with saliva.
Although Fang Dihua was a serious person, she was very generous to the children. She took boiled eggs from her cloth bag and gave them to eat, and put her hat on Tiantiantou.
Panpan and Hou Wei waved and shouted, "Auntie, let's go!"
The tractor set off with a bang.
Today Fang Dihua mainly brought toilet incense and mosquito coils. There were not many sun hats and linen bags, so she gave a few to Wei Ling as samples. The rest would be sent before the field trip.
Now it is a seller's market, so the freight is basically paid by the buyer. Lin Shu also has to pay for the delivery.
Lin Shu decided not to charge the freight and asked the office here to give a few liters of diesel.
They are not short of money now, but they need tickets to buy things.
Diesel and gasoline permits are good things, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get them.
Their brigade also applies to the higher authorities during the busy farming season of the commune, and they have to save as much as possible when using them.
Of course, even if you have the permit, you still have to spend your own money to buy it, but it is very easy for those who can get the permit.
The person in charge of the Party School Office gave Lin Shu the permit that the unit could not secretly sell for cash. He saved the money for transportation and was very happy.
Leaving the office, Wei Ling smiled and said, "I have time now, let's go for a tour together."
She understood the needs of country people when they came to the city. No matter where they went, they had to go shopping so that they would have something to talk about when they got home.
This is what is called seeing the world.
Although Fang Dihua was serious and reserved, and was too embarrassed to bring it up, she was of course happy when Wei Ling took the initiative to take them on a tour.
She was very proud!
This is the Party School!
She had been to the Party School!
Neither the branch secretary nor the team leader had been there, even though the branch secretary was an old Party member!
Fang Dihua put her hands behind her back, her face serious, but she was excited inside, and her steps were a little lighter.
Several trainees saw this and speculated in a low voice: "Is it a leader from somewhere who is here to inspect? Look, reporter Wei is accompanying them personally."
"It's probably a leader from the city. He looks quite impressive."
"Let's go, don't disturb them."
The plain-looking but powerful comrade Fang Dihua was very interested in the visit. At the end, Wei Ling took photos of them enthusiastically.
There were individual photos, group photos, photos taken in front of the Great Master's statue, and photos taken in front of the auditorium.
Fang Dihua looked like a leader who was here to inspect, and she looked very stylish.
The three children looked like children who were giving flowers to the leader, with innocent faces.
After the visit, Lu Hehuan and Sister Lin also finished their class, and Wei Ling went to call them to eat together.
Lu Hehuan was quite surprised to see Fang Dihua and his elder sister-in-law, "Mom, you and your elder sister-in-law are here too... to study?"
Lin Shu: "Mom and your elder sister-in-law are here to deliver goods. How were your classes?"
Lu Hehuan: "Some were very interesting, some were very boring."
Elder sister Lin smiled gently. She found the lessons interesting whether they were interesting or not.
During the meal, Xue Hanshan came over to greet them, "Auntie is here, don't eat the big pot of rice, I'll treat everyone to some stir-fried dishes."
There was a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.
Fang Dihua refused, "I'm not a big shot, so I don't need to eat some stir-fried dishes. You're all busy, hurry up and finish eating and go to class."
She also had to go home early.
Before leaving, Lin Shu said to Wei Ling, "Reporter Wei, I'm usually at home. When you have time, come to my house for dinner with my elder sister and younger sister."
Wei Ling agreed and sent them out. On the way, she said to Lin Shu and Fang Dihua, "You can make linen bags freely. I have more business to introduce to you."
She knew a lot of leaders, and there were many large and small meetings in various units every year. The sales of these linen bags were very large.
Lin Shu agreed and decided to let her mother-in-law go back and discuss with the branch secretary, and give Wei Ling a commission.
Wei Ling probably won't want it, but she can compensate her in other ways.
Lin Shu drove the car when they came, and she will drive the car when they go back, so that Mrs. Lu can sit in the car and look around.
They didn't go home directly, but strolled around the People's Park and the surrounding area, and went home when it was almost time.
Chen Yanming happened to be driving back from outside, and he carried a basket from the roof of the car, "Auntie, sister-in-law, Doctor Zhan heard that you were coming and asked someone to get a basket of crabs for you to try. I happen to be free these two days, so I will take you around. Let's go to the zoo to see the tigers tomorrow."
When Panpan Tiantian and Hou Wei heard that they were going to see the tigers, they immediately became excited and pulled Fang Dihua and Mrs. Lu to stay to see the tigers.
Fang Dihua was a little hesitant.
Lin Shu: "Mom, you will only stay for two days. My second brother is in charge of the incense factory."
The second brother is responsible for the internal affairs, and the eldest brother is responsible for the external affairs. They work well together. Besides, the incense factory has many workers now, so Fang Dihua doesn't need to watch over them.
Fang Dihua couldn't refuse the coquettish Tiantian and Panpan. "Okay."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Then we will eat spicy crabs with sauce tonight!"
There are so many crabs that they can't finish them at home. This thing is mainly for tasting, not for eating too much. Lin Shu gave some to Yang Shumin, Zheng Jie, Chen Huilan, and Zhang Ya. Thinking that Mrs. Guan is also a friend of my mother-in-law, no matter what kind of friend, she has helped, so she also gave the Guan family a share. Fang Dihua
led the children to deliver crabs to Mrs. Guan and several other families, and said hello and chatted with them.
Chen Yanming went to pick up Zhan Qiuran from work.
Lu Shaotang was at home helping Lin Shu clean crabs, chopping them into pieces, sprinkling flour and stirring them. Lin Shu only needed to wait to take charge of the cooking.
She stood aside and admired Director Lu at work. Wow, what a handsome guy he was. He was wearing the new shirt she made for him, with the hem tucked into his belt, which made him look even taller and more slender. His smooth muscle lines were faintly visible under the fabric as he moved.
She looked outside guiltily, but no one was there!
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly on the lips. When Lu Shaotang wanted to deepen the kiss, she pulled away again, laughing and teasing him, "When you retire, we will set up a stall on the roadside to sell food. With you helping us, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Then we will come to visit the handsome uncles and grandfathers.
Lu Shaotang locked his deep eyes on her and said quietly, "Am I so miserable? You let your wife set up a stall on the roadside after retirement? Is it because you didn't save enough or because you don't have a pension?"
Lin Shu said casually, "Won't your children go to college in the future? Buy a house in the city? Get married? You need to prepare dowries and gifts for them? All these things cost money. You won't be able to do anything with your salary in the future. People can earn a thousand or eight hundred yuan a night by setting up a stall selling grilled tofu, grilled squid, etc."
Lu Shaotang stopped stirring the crabs with chopsticks and looked at her steadily with his dark eyes.
Lin Shu suddenly realized that she was talking about bald lips, and immediately put on a stern face and deliberately said: "Don't be lazy, hurry up and do it, I'll go downstairs and dig up a piece of ginger."
She ran away quickly.
Lu Shaotang was looking at the big piece of ginger on the chopping board next to him.
Listening to her footsteps, Lu Shaotang looked out from the balcony and saw his wife who was talking about bald lips peeking out of the gate of the courtyard, probably waiting for someone to go upstairs together.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned on the balcony railing to look down at her, and slowly smiled.
Doesn't she know that she has been like a sieve for a long time? She is
still following Teacher Ma's class.
After a while, Lin Shu picked up Fang Dihua and went upstairs with the children, chatting and laughing.
Back on the third floor, Fang Dihua looked back at Lin Shu, then at Lu Shaotang in the kitchen, wondering, "What are you two doing?"
Lin Shu: "I'll go downstairs to pick you up."
Lu Shaotang, tall and long-legged, walked up to her in a few steps, stretched out his arm and grabbed Lin Shu, "Big liar."
Panpan was curious and asked, "Dad, what big liar?"
Lu Shaotang glanced at Lin Shu and said slowly, "Your mother also wants to set up a stall."
The three children became interested and asked, "What are you selling? What are you selling? Add us in!"
Lin Shu glanced at Lu Shaotang, and was annoyed that she couldn't pinch him, so she stepped on his foot.
Lu Shaotang laughed, his voice happy.
Panpan and Tiantian looked at each other, not understanding why mom stepped on dad, who was quite happy.
Tiantian stepped on Panpan's foot unexpectedly, and Panpan jumped up with a cry, "Lutian, why did you step on me?"
Tiantian shrugged and smiled, "See, this is a normal reaction."
