Mr. Lin, Sun Dahai's head teacher, was the grade leader of a national key primary school, and was an outstanding teacher at the municipal and national levels for many years. A few years ago, his whole family was living in a tube building of more than ten square meters.
In the end, their family moved into Uncle Zhou's dormitory, which was allocated by the military hospital, and the Education Bureau did not have the money to build a dormitory.
Nowadays, the entire country's finances are very tight, and the education system is even more poor. This is in the capital. Otherwise, if teachers can get their wages on time every month, it means that the government attaches great importance to education.
Thinking of Sun Dahai, who always came up with something, he casually handed over the matter to Huang Feifei, and went to have a happy winter vacation party again.
Recently, Sun Dahai has become obsessed with skating again. Next to his home is Shichahai. Every winter, there is a free natural ice rink here.
There is an old saying in the capital that the lake in summer is the Shicha Sea in winter. The lake is Yuyuantan Park. In summer, many people in the capital go there to swim and escape the heat, while in winter they come to Shicha Sea for skating.
If you add in the outings in the suburbs in spring and the autumn leaves in Xiangshan, people in the capital have something to do all year round, and the most important thing is, it doesn’t cost much.
In his previous life, Sun Dahai could not skate or roller skate. For this reason, he was laughed at by many classmates. Now that he has money and leisure, he unconsciously wants to make up for this shortcoming.
At the end of last year, my uncle Sun Weimin introduced some veterans to work in the company. When they filled out their employment information, many of them filled in skating in the columns of personal abilities and hobbies.
At the party, Huang Feifei took this as a joke and told everyone. Sun Dahai immediately understood the reason.
Now, most of the people in Sun Weimin's army can skate. Because the army is stationed in the Northeast, Sun Dahai suggested to Sun Weimin a few years ago that he carry out skating and skiing training in the army, which can be regarded as military skills training adapted to local conditions.
Now it seems that after Sun Weimin returned, he followed Sun Dahai's suggestion and tried it out in the army. That's good, Sun Dahai himself can't skate, but now he has a ready-made master, so he can't miss it.
Sun Dahai found a few security guards from these demobilized soldiers who had not yet married and worked alone in the company, and made an appointment with them. Every afternoon, whoever among them would take turns to come over and teach Sun Dahai and his friends how to skate for a period of time.
Half a month.
The reason for looking for security guards who have retired from the company, rather than people from other types of work, is because security guards work on a shift system, and people take turns to take off every day. A half-day teaching time will not affect their normal work and life too much.
It's winter vacation now, and the friends are used to running to Sun Dahai every day, spending half a day studying and half a day entertaining. Even Ma Jian and Xia Tiantian are no exception.
Now that they know that Sun Dahai wants to learn skating, they all coax him to learn how to skate together.
For this reason, Sun Dahai took everyone to the Lisheng Sports Goods Store in Wangfujing to buy skates. Because Bater's junior high school cram school was not on winter vacation and he was still in class, Sun Dahai and the others took the bus to Wangfujing.
.
At this time, Lisheng Sports Goods Store had not yet been expanded, with a business area of only more than 200 square meters, but it was the largest and most comprehensive professional sports goods store in the capital at this time.
Of course, they also sell skates here. There is only a pair of speed skating knives on display at the counter as a sample, and there are only two types of skate knives and speed skating knives in stock.
The colors of the skates are very simple, with only black and white to choose from. As for the more advanced knives, you need to order them.
However, for a group of beginners, as long as they have the most basic flower knife, it is enough.
Sun Dahai has never figured out why Li Sheng used the speed skate knife as an exhibit.
You know, this kind of skate is only suitable for use on the track. Because the blade is very long, it is very inconvenient to use in ordinary ice rinks. Sun Dahai doesn't believe how many people will buy speed skates.
Maybe it's because the skates are made of pure cowhide and use high-quality steel. A pair of these skates costs more than ten yuan.
You know, the big brother Huali high-waist rubber-soled basketball shoes among domestic sports shoes now only cost six yuan a pair.
"Fortunately, brother is not short of money." Sun Dahai, an upstart, waved his hand and said that he had a share, and each of them had a pair.
In addition, he bought a few coaches who were not here according to the sizes he had inquired about before coming. By the way, he also bought two pairs of small-sized skates, which were prepared for Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe.
Sun Dahai and his group of ten people paid the fees and went to the warehouse to pick up the goods. They carried more than ten shoe boxes and walked out of the Lisheng Sports Goods Store.
Now that we have arrived at Wangfujing, we started wandering around the Dongfeng Market and Department Store. In the evening, we went to Longfu Temple in Dongsi and ate a lot of snacks to finish today's work.
Activity.
The snacks were served by Ma Jian and Xia Tiantian. They felt a little embarrassed to always eat from Sun Dahai. Sun Dahai bought them skates again today. After discussing it, they decided to treat everyone to dinner together.
One is in the third year of junior high school and the other is in the second year of junior high school. They are considered to be older among Sun Dahai’s friends. They are second only to Gao Yi, Zhang Guozheng, Liang Yingying and Jiang Yan.
Their family conditions are very good. Although their upbringing is very strict and they don't have much pocket money, they are still much better than children from ordinary families.
"If I had known you were going to treat me, I would have taken you all south to Maxim's Restaurant for dinner." Sun Dahai joked while holding a piece of fried enema and dipping it in garlic sauce.
"It's okay to go there. After dinner, you go first. I'll stay at the end. If I can run, I'll run. If I can't run, I'll wash the dishes in the restaurant to pay the bill." Ma Jian ate the stewed stew and fire roast without raising his head.
He answered Sun Dahai.
"Okay, Ma Jian, you have learned how to eat the King's meal. It seems that when I have free time, I have to go and chat with Grandpa Ma. However, maybe there are some small gifts that can divert my attention." Xia Tian
Tian immediately started to rip off her.
"Xia Tiantian, we agreed to treat us together. Do you think you can run away?" Ma Jian despised Xia Tiantian's behavior of trying to rip off her partners.
"Well, with the little money we have, it would be great if we could treat everyone to a meal at Maxim's." Xia Tiantian is fifteen years old, and she is at the age where she loves to dream.
"Actually, there is still a way." Gao Yi interjected from the side.
"What can you do, sister Gao Yi, please tell me." Xia Tiantian suddenly became interested.
"At Maxim's Restaurant, there is a list of songs to order, and it's all in French. After you go in, ask the maitre d' for the list. There will be ten of us, each ordering one. No one knows French anyway.
We can leave in about an hour, and it won't cost much." Gao Yi said, covering his mouth that was about to laugh out loud.
"Okay, sister Gao Yi, you've learned too much! Tell me, did Dahai teach you this?"
Gao Yi ignored her and just lowered his head and smiled "chichi".
Xia Tiantian rolled her eyes and changed her strategy.5
