Zhang Jiangang knew that the young couple was lecturing Lele on the one hand, but in fact they were blaming themselves for spending money indiscriminately and for spoiling their children.
How could Zhang Jiangang not know this? After all, he was about the same age as the couple in his previous life, and before his spiritual energy recovered, he often criticized the elderly for being spoiled by children on the Internet.
But I just watched Lele. I haven’t bought a single piece of good clothes in more than three years, and I haven’t played with good toys before I took Lele to make up for it. And the things I bought were not famous brands, but many families would give them to them.
It's just something the kids bought.
After all, life is still too difficult for the young couple. If life were better off, there would be no need for Lele to buy these things by themselves. The young couple would have bought them themselves.
Why should you be poor when you can live an ordinary life? If you are poor, it is probably because you are really poor. Who as a parent doesn’t want their children to live a better life?
Some things still need to be relaxed and moderate, and you can't be too pampered, but you can't be too deliberately harsh. It's best to let nature take its course and give it appropriate guidance.
"Okay, okay, I took the initiative to buy it for Lele. For more than three years, Lele has never worn a decent dress or bought a serious toy. What's wrong with me buying her something?
You can lose a piece of meat, but you don’t buy it every day. You two are busy all day, and you are not at home with her all day long. When you come back, you either send her to watch TV, or you are impatient. When you come back today, you will be more
You're just going to train her when we meet, what do you want to do?"
In Zhang Jiangang's view, parents are always impatient, especially scolding their children is more terrifying than pampering them.
Not to mention the latter, the impatience and scolding of the former may very well lead to the child becoming introverted, unconfident and insecure in the future.
What's even more frightening is that when children grow up, they may not like to communicate with adults and keep everything to themselves.
"Dad, you are spoiling her again. How can we have so much time to spend with her? Don't we still have to go to work?" His son Zhang Wenjun whispered helplessly.
Looking at his daughter-in-law, he glanced at Lele and then at Zhang Jiangang. "Wenjun, Dad, I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first." After saying that, the daughter-in-law Yin Xiaolei went to the master bedroom without eating.
Zhang Jiangang could tell that his daughter-in-law was not satisfied with him. In other words, his daughter-in-law was not only filial, but also good-tempered and well-educated. Some daughter-in-laws might have turned against him.
Of course, I am actually a young man after all, so what I just said was a little more straightforward.
"This?" Zhang Wenjun was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, okay, let's go and coax you. Don't worry, your father has been here too and knows that over-pampering is not good for children. I know it well, go ahead, Lele, I'll coax you." Not wanting to embarrass his son, Zhang Jiangang
He said, touching his granddaughter in his arms.
This little guy actually fell asleep.
"By the way, you two shouldn't be too stressed. You can never make enough money. The most important thing is to be healthy and have a harmonious and happy family."
Looking at his father again, Zhang Wenjun sighed and nodded.
However, after taking two steps, Zhang Wenjun came back and took out his wallet from his pocket.
"Dad, how much did you spend today?" Zhang Wenjun took out more than a thousand yuan as he spoke.
"what?"
"You don't have much money in your hands, and you spent so much today. Just take the money and treat it as such."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jiangang pushed the money back.
"Put it away, your father still needs your money. People of my age usually don't have much use for money. You two can keep it for yourselves."
"Besides, what's the deal with you giving me money when I buy something for my granddaughter? Take it back." Zhang Jiangang glared and continued, "Go and see your wife quickly. What I just said was a bit harsh, so go ahead."
No matter how old a son is, he is still a son. When Zhang Jiangang glared at him, Zhang Wenjun remembered the scene when he was scolded by his father when he was a child, and then he shuddered and took the money back.
"Hey, wait a minute, Wenjun, this is for you." Something suddenly occurred to him, and Zhang Jiangang took out a card. It was the shopping card given to him by the boss of Dongfang City today. He didn't know how much money was in it.
"Shopping card? Dad, where did you get it? Just buy things directly. How much trouble do you have to apply for a card?" Zhang Wenjun was stunned.
"How can I have time to do that? This was given to me by the boss of a shopping mall when I was singing in Dongfang City today. You can take it and use it. It probably doesn't have much money in it. Oh, by the way, the rice is in the pot. You guys make do with it.
Eat something.”
"I won't eat if I'm not hungry. Sing? You can also sing?"
After a while, his son Zhang Wenjun returned to the master bedroom.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Jiangang sighed.
Money, it seems that no matter where on the earth it is, it is not easy for young people.
"Your little one is still living a comfortable and carefree life." At the same time, Zhang Jiangang glanced at his granddaughter who had fallen asleep in his arms and was still drooling. Zhang Jiangang said with a smile.
And just when Zhang Jiangang was sighing here, the old man's phone he placed next to him rang.
"Hello?"
"Old Zhang, why didn't you come to square dance tonight? Are you avoiding me? Let me tell you, we have a new square dance accompaniment today, and it sounds great. And Lao Wang, I have something for you.
explain."
Zhang Jiangang smiled bitterly and looked at his dance partner named Wang Lifen before he was reborn.
Zhang Jiangang knew that his former square dancing partner, who was about fifty years old, was interested in his ex. However, my mental age is only in my twenties, Auntie, please let me go, please.
"Why am I hiding from you? I'm here with my granddaughter. She just fell asleep. Let's talk about it later." Square dancing is so strange and scary. After saying this, Zhang Jiangang quickly hung up the phone.
Does the new square dance sound good? Is it better than Little Apple and the most dazzling ethnic style? Is it better than "We Are Different"? Zhang Jiangang smiled, and then he carried his granddaughter to the bed in the second bedroom, and then followed the memory of his previous life.
Kung Fu practice.
Although he has no spiritual energy, Zhang Jiangang is not here to become an immortal, but just to strengthen his body and live a healthy life for a few more years. After all, no one knows whether the spiritual energy will revive in this world.
In another room, when he saw his wife lying on the bed, choking and crying softly, Zhang Wenjun felt uncomfortable.
"Don't cry. Dad asked me to apologize to you. He said he spoke too harshly. Don't take it too seriously. People in their generation were like this. Don't think too much about it." Zhang Wenjun patted his wife on the shoulder.
said.
"I'm not blaming my dad, I'm angry with myself. I've suffered so much in my thirties, and I haven't even bought him better toys or clothes. I feel bad because I'm not a good mother.
"I didn't expect it would be better if I didn't say it. As soon as Yin Xiaolei said it, she cried even harder and covered her face with the quilt for fear that the next door would hear her.
"Oh, it's my fault that you've suffered by following me." As a husband, Zhang Wenjun felt sour when he heard this.
I have been a failure for more than thirty years. If my father hadn't paid the down payment for me, I might not even have a small house worth 70 yuan now.
Fortunately, I bought it early, and now the house price in Donghai City has risen to almost 20,000.
Gently, Yin Xiaolei stood up and looked at her husband.
"Husband, do you think we will be like this for the rest of our lives? It doesn't matter if we are tired or miserable, but I feel uncomfortable when I think of Lele." Yin Xiaolei said with tears in her eyes.
"No, no, everything will be fine." Zhang Wenjun patted his wife on the shoulder and quickly comforted her.
But in fact, Zhang Wenjun is also a little confused about the future.
"Oh, by the way, you know, dad took Lele to Oriental City to sing today. Did you see Lele's rabbit toy and balloon? Dad won them back. The boss of the shopping mall also gave dad a gift.
Here's a shopping card." Perhaps to comfort his wife, or perhaps because he didn't want to talk about that heavy topic, Zhang Wenjun suddenly said.
"Singing? And giving away things? With a voice like your dad's? Let me see." Although her voice was still a little choked, Yin Xiaolei wiped her tears and said while taking the shopping card.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wenjun wiped away cold sweat. My wife was so deceitful that she forgot what happened just now.
Also, if she wasn't a fool, how could she be married to her?
But having said that, Zhang Wenjun is absolutely devoted to his wife. If you really can’t afford it, quit your current job. Instead of being annoyed by the company and taking that little money, you might as well work hard for your family!
Zhang Wenjun's only gratification is that although life is hard, at least his family is harmonious.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenjun looked at his wife.
"Is it really a shopping card? Did dad really win it by singing? Why don't I believe it?"
"Haha, stop talking about you, I don't believe it. Okay, okay, go to bed, Lele happens to be in dad's room and has already fallen asleep, hehe."
"what?"
"You know, hehe." Finally, his daughter slept next door. How could Zhang Wenjun be willing to take this great opportunity?
But the smile on his face hadn't faded away, and while he was still using his hands and feet, his wife Yin Xiaolei spoke and pushed him away.
