    Chapter 2 Charming Dad

    The car was running in the rain at night, and Lu Ying ran for an hour before she could catch her breath. She returned to the pizza shop to watch her son play with building blocks in the gap between the waiting list. The obedient fat boy suddenly sighed, and Lu Ying knew that he had more things to do as soon as he heard it.

    "What's wrong?" Lu Ying asked with a smile.

    "I already told you not to cook noodles. Although it's delicious, it's easy to get hungry again."

    Lu Ying, who was reprimanded by his son, sneered: "There are so many reasons to eat. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

    The fat boy sniffed and muttered softly, "The pizza at the boss's house smells so good, I think it must be delicious..."

    Lu Ying frowned and whispered in his son's ear, "Little fool, how can pizza be delicious with sesame seeds and pancakes? It's not just the weird-flavored pancakes made by foreigners who didn't succeed in learning our sesame seeds. Dad will buy you two One pot Kui, one sweet and one salty." Of course, both pizza and biscuits are delicious, but pizza is more expensive than biscuits, not even a star and a half.

    Lu Ying turned around and bought back two pot helmets for his son. The two cost eight yuan, which was actually not cheap. The price of the pot helmet has more than doubled compared to the previous years. Seeing the price soaring, the wallet is empty, how can it be a word of 'sorrow'.

    If he hadn't been working several jobs intermittently, it would have been hard to stay in the city. Fortunately, through hard work, he was able to stay with the child as he wished, and the cub entered a good kindergarten. In September of next year, the cub can go to primary school and officially enter the compulsory education stage stipulated by the state. That is when he takes the child out of the mountains to live. the greatest purpose.

    Kindergarten can freely choose to read or not, and where to read. The primary school included in the 12-year compulsory education cannot be casually entered and exited. However, the counterpart primary school in their village is too sluggish. There are only six students and one teacher in the whole school. All responsible parents send their children out of the village. Lu Ying was naturally reluctant for her son to go to such an elementary school. In his own words, it was not lively at all. Before moving into the city, Lu Ying worked alone in the city every day. At night, she took her children in kindergarten back to a remote village to rest. Grandpa Lu waited for them at home every day. At that time, although I was running back and forth, a lot of time was wasted on the road. But the mood of working for the family is satisfied, and returning home is also lively.

    It would be great if Grandpa Lu was still there, when he was busy, Cubzai would have someone to accompany him at home.

    At about ten o'clock in the night shift, Lu Ying came home with his son who was already asleep. The father and son were more than enough to sleep on the 1.5 meter bed, which was warm and comfortable. He set the alarm clock, and fell into a good sleep.

    At 3:30 in the morning, he woke up with the first sound of Didi's mobile phone alarm. Lu Ying got up quickly, packed herself in less than ten minutes, touched her son's sleeping chubby face, locked the door and went out to the first morning shift.

    At four in the morning, there were only sporadic vehicles and sanitation workers on the empty road. This job is tiring and dirty. At present, young people are afraid that no one is willing to do it, and the employees are aging seriously. Most of them still have to do it, and they have no choice. Lu Ying is not picky at all, but he is very grateful to Aunt Wang from the neighborhood committee who introduced him to this job. Although he is only a temporary worker and cannot become a regular, the time period is also the most tiring wave. Dispose of the street rubbish before getting up, and his job is over.

    After taking over, Lu Ying was quite satisfied. When he first came to work, the working hours were very short, and he was quick and quick. Usually, he could finish work in two hours at the fastest and in four hours at the slowest. Second, this is the only job that doesn't have to deal with too many people, it's too quiet and comfortable for him. Third, the salary is not bad, anyway, the price is high. He is now firmly holding three jobs a day, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month, and has no mortgage or car loan. Except for the annual tuition fee of about 20,000 yuan in kindergarten and his usual living expenses, he saves the rest well and saves them all for his son's future studies.

    His biggest goal at the moment is to let his son grow up healthily and let him become a college student, who can compare in the future

    easy

    make money and gain a firm foothold in human society.

    This is the way he has thought for a long time for his son. I can't be like him, I haven't read a book for a day, all the words and arithmetic I know are taught at home by Grandpa Lu, and I don't have a primary school diploma. He is not smart enough to be a person, and his eloquence is not good enough. There are really not many jobs to choose from. But the cub is lucky enough to go to school. For this reason, even if he Lu Ying is almost all year round, he is still very motivated. In the future, when his son can be self-reliant, he can make further plans, go to a night school, adult university, etc. to cheer himself up. Brother Yang said that the most important experience of being a person is reading. People read from childhood to adulthood, and then they can become useful people based on society. People like them who came out of the mountains, if they want to live a personal life, they should read more.

    Lu Yingman has been planning to make a living out of the mountains for nearly ten years, and he took a year off in between. Over the years, he has been warm and cold to human beings, and has a little understanding of the secular world. In short, there is no good way out for illiterate people, it is very difficult to find a job, and they will be ridiculed and ridiculed for no reason. He didn't think it was anything before, he just had to eat enough. But...after having tasted all the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys, he knew that he was becoming more and more like a person.

    The essence of being a person is one word.

    Disaster!

    On Sunday, Lu Ying went to work as usual.

    The children have no place to go on weekends every week, so it is not good to leave them alone at home for a long time. Fortunately, the fifth floor of the shopping mall where he works is a children's play area. It is convenient for the children to have a meal together and take it home after get off work.

    Today I saved the time to pick up the child from the kindergarten. Lu Ying went straight to the fifth floor after get off work at four o'clock. "Cub, Dad will take you to the supermarket to buy something delicious."

    The red-faced cub in the playground immediately jumped out, put on his shoes not neatly, and kept babbling: "Wow, wow, I want to buy jelly! Little fish biscuits, pig chocolate, Canned oranges..."

    "Depending on the situation, if there is a discount, buy more. Sister Xiaoli, are you not being naughty today?" Lu Ying touched her son's warm face and smiled and asked the elder sister who issued the ticket at the playground.

    Sister Xiaoli is about forty, she heard the words with a hearty smile, patted the cub on the shoulder and said, "How can you be naughty, your cub is very good, you have a good time by yourself, and you will play with your little brothers and sisters, this child Very sensible and considerate. It's hard to teach a child so well for a young dad like you."

    Every time his son is praised by Lu Ying, the corner of his mouth can't help but rise: "I have very little time to teach him, but when I was young, my grandfather had a good foundation." No way, he got the village to make money to buy milk powder for the cubs. At that time, I could only see my son at night, but now I take my son with me, so I don't have much time alone.

    Sister Xiaoli probably knew about Lu Ying's family situation and sighed: "It's really not easy for you, but it doesn't matter, you are diligent and willing to endure hardships, and the children are obedient and sensible, and life will get better and better."

    After chatting a few words, Lu Ying left, watching the father and son leave, Sister Xiaoli looked back regretfully. Lu Ying is a young man she admires very much, and her diligence is now rare. Coupled with the incredible appearance, it's "heart" once you look at it. For a while, she frantically wanted to be a matchmaker for Lu Ying, but after thinking about it, there were not many suitable. Lu Ying's condition is too poor,

    orphan

    , without any family property, he is still an illiterate person who has never even read elementary school. This kind of person, coupled with an extremely attractive appearance, not only does not add points, but makes people more cautious. She reluctantly found two suitable matchmakers who wanted to be matchmakers, but she did not expect that after asking, Lu Ying would not agree, and she was not willing to remarry at all!

    Lu Ying took the child into the elevator, chose the negative first floor where the supermarket was located, and only reached the fourth floor. The elevator stopped, and a few staff in suits and ties came in. The leader was Manager Zhang, his immediate boss. Lu Ying secretly sighed unlucky. .

    Manager Zhang is a capable married woman in her thirties. Although she has only been in office for a few months, her colleagues are very impressed with her.

    She looked at Lu Ying and smiled: "off work?"

    "Um."

    The rest of the staff were silent, watching their noses and hearts.

    Fortunately, the manager and his party soon left on the second floor.

    When Lu Ying arrived on the negative first floor, he received a text message on his mobile phone, and when he opened it, his head was as big as a bucket. Manager Zhang invited him to watch a midnight movie. This was not the first time. Ever since Manager Zhang came over, he has often been 'appointed' in private. Similar situations have often been encountered in recent years. There is a reason for a diligent and hardworking person like him to change jobs frequently.

    Lu Ying sighed faintly, touched his chin and asked his son, "Cub, isn't Dad very handsome and charming?"
