We had dinner at Donglaishun and had hot pot hot pot meat. After dinner, the three of us went to Shichahai Park to digest the food. In the summer, the park is full of people enjoying the cool air, walking their birds, practicing Tai Chi, singing, and it is very lively.
The three of them walked hand in hand along the river bank. As the sun set, the water surface was shimmering and large lotus leaves and flowers could be seen in the distance. The scenery was pleasant.
Kang Kang: "Someone is swimming in the river." There are a few white figures on the opposite bank of the river.
Lin Xiuyao: "The water here is deep and dangerous, Kang Kang, don't follow them."
"Yes, you can go to the swimming pool if you want to swim." Raising a child for a hundred years is a matter of worrying for ninety-nine. Whenever they had the chance, the two of them would educate their son about safety.
"The teacher also said that children can't swim in the river." Kang Kang accepted the advice.
"That's Ye Siyuan, right?" Su Qingmeng pointed at a person not far away.
Lin Xiuyao looked in the direction of her finger. It was indeed Ye Siyuan, the educated youth. He had been admitted to National Tsing Hua University. Lin Xiuyao had met him several times during college. After all, the two schools were not far away, so they often communicated. However, they had not been in touch for a long time after graduation.
Ye Siyuan saw them and walked over to greet them, "Su Zhiqing, Comrade Lin, long time no see." Behind him was a female comrade who nodded slightly to them with an elegant temperament.
Ye Siyuan saw their thoughts racing and began to miss the past. Although life in the countryside was hard, it also tempered his will.
Lin Xiuyao politely responded: "Long time no see."
"Is this your child?" Ye Siyuan looked at Kang Kang. The child was tall and slender, with a cute face. "Is he this big?"
Kang Kang: "Hello, uncle."
Ye Siyuan smiled and said, "Hello."
Lin Xiuyao asked, "Where is Comrade Ye currently working?"
"Research Institute." He didn't elaborate, as the unit requested confidentiality. "What about you?"
Lin Xiuyao: "I run a company," he handed him a business card, "and my wife is a freelance writer."
"Oh, I know your company, it's awesome." Ye Siyuan said. He already knew that these two people were not ordinary people, although they had not been together for a long time.
When he returned to Beijing, he told his parents that someone in the village had been admitted to Peking University. His parents asked him to communicate more with the two people, but unfortunately he was not sociable and was not familiar with them.
The two sides exchanged a few words and then said goodbye.
The female comrade next to Ye Siyuan asked, "Who are these two people?"
She was Ye Siyuan's blind date. After graduating, Ye Siyuan had been working hard, and personal problems had delayed his work until now. His parents were very anxious and asked relatives and friends to introduce him to a girl. This woman was the third blind date he had met since his vacation.
Ye Siyuan: "My fellow educated youth when I went to the countryside and the village scorekeeper."
"I didn't expect that the place where you went to the countryside was full of hidden talents and produced so many great people." She said with a smile. Ye Siyuan had been very silent all the time, and now he showed interest for once, so she continued the topic.
Ye Siyuan: "Yes, it's not bad. After the college entrance examination was resumed, our team had more than ten students admitted to college. The two people just now are from Peking University."
He turned around and looked at the two people's backs, feeling a little melancholy. At that time, he was thinking about his grandparents, and he didn't dare to put his ideas into action, so he missed them in the end.
The female comrade noticed his expression and seemed to be thinking about something.
—
Su Qingmeng was a little surprised and asked Lin Xiuyao, "Come to think of it, haven't you and Ye Siyuan developed any relationship? I don't think he's someone you would let go of."
Ye Siyuan himself is a college student at Tsinghua University, and his grandparents are both professors at the Medical University.
Lin Xiuyao shook his head and said nothing. He would not say that he had noticed in the countryside that Ye Siyuan's eyes were looking at Su Qingmeng from time to time.
Although Ye Siyuan seems to be a person with moral bottom line and will not destroy other people's marriages, Lin Xiuyao does not want to be friends with his love rival.
Su Qingmeng just asked casually, without asking further questions, "Is your company busy? There are a lot of new places in Beijing. Do you have time to take us there?"
Kang Kang also looked at Lin Xiu Yao expectantly.
"I'm not busy. I just need to spend two hours every day going to the company." Lin Xiuyao now has to learn to delegate things to his subordinates. He worked hard in the past two years, and now he wants to be a freeloader like his wife.
Next they went to the newly opened World Park to experience the characteristics of different countries, and went to the newly opened McDonald's to taste hamburgers and cold drinks.
Now that the Asian Games Village is open, the three of them came here to play. Su Qingmeng discovered a place similar to an arcade - Kangle Palace, which has a game room, bowling, and a water park. When the neighbors in the alley introduced it, they called it the "Money-Burning Palace."
Su Qingmeng exchanged the game coins and said, "Let's go grab the dolls first. I'll show you my skills."
Su Qingmeng tried it twice and got familiar with the operation. She hooked and swung it, and a fox doll fell out. Kang Kang went over to pick it up, "Mom is so awesome." Lin Xiuyao applauded.
Su Qingmeng was pleased, "Come, I'll teach you my experience. This is my exclusive secret recipe."
The three of them had a great day and spent more than a thousand yuan. Lin Xiuyao felt the pain in his heart, "It's so expensive!" He was not yet accustomed to the concept of spending lavishly just for fun.
Su Qingmeng laughed at him: "Boss Lin, don't be so stingy."
Kang Kang looked at his wealthy mother and said, "Mom is really generous."
Su Qingmeng: I forgot my son is still alive.
She tried to change her son's outlook on money, saying, "Mom earns a lot, more than 10,000 yuan a month, so spending 1,000 yuan to buy a good mood is worth it."
"How much does dad earn a month?" Kang Kang was curious.
Lin Xiuyao: "Although my income is higher than your mother's, it hurts to spend over a thousand just for fun." He and his family have nothing to hide. "Everyone has different values."
Kang Kang thought about it, "I only earn about ten yuan a month. If I spend a thousand just for fun, I'll feel worse, but if I spend one yuan, I can accept it."
Su Qingmeng couldn't help laughing, "That will cost eight dollars?" She took the two of them to Beichen Shopping Center to go shopping in the supermarket.
Kang Kang looked conflicted, and after a few minutes he said, "No."
Lin Xiuyao had already moved on to other topics. "What's wrong? Oh, eight dollars isn't right?" He was curious. "Then how much is the most you'd be willing to spend on pure entertainment?"
Kang Kang began to ponder again, and after a moment he said, "Three Yuan."
"Thirty percent," Su Qingmeng had heard of a 4321 financial management rule in her later life, which means that in terms of asset allocation, 40% is for investment, 30% for living expenses, 20% for savings and 10% for insurance. Kang Kang's entertainment expenses were on the high side, so she told the two of them this.
Kang Kang: I didn’t understand.
Lin Xiuyao: ...
He lowered his voice and leaned close to Su Qingmeng's ear, "Did you allocate it like this before?"
Su Qingmeng nodded. It was about the same. She thought it was quite useful.
Lin Xiuyao: "Then let's try it too."
After returning home from the supermarket with a full load of groceries, the three of them took out the grocery bag from the car and said, "Having a car is quite convenient."
Lin Xiuyao made some simple noodles for dinner. Kang Kang asked, "Where are we going to play tomorrow?"
Su Qingmeng said, "Your Aunt Qiu will be home tomorrow, so don't go out. You should do your homework and stop playing around.
