Life 1984

Gong Tao shouted again: "Dad!"

Li Yunhai agreed crisply, feeling soreness in the corners of his eyes and an urge to cry.

In order to hit more real targets, Gong Tao shouted "Dad" more than ten times in a row, calling out the word "Dad" all the times he had never called him in his life.

Li Yunhai was so happy that he wanted to stop the car and hug Gong Tao and give him a few kisses.

Since his son had spoken, Li Yunhai certainly could not go back on his word and took his son to the training ground.

Gong Tao practiced shooting again.

Today he was more accurate in shooting. Two of the dozen bullets hit the target.

Even Chen Jing, who taught him how to shoot, was quite surprised. He praised him for his quick learning and rapid progress, and said that with time, he would really become a sharpshooter.

Li Yunhai was watching from the side with a smile on his face.

After shooting, Li Yunhai and Gong Tao left the training ground.

"Xiao Tao, what do you want to eat? Dad will take you to eat." Li Yunhai said with a smile.

"Really? You won't be like mom and say that everything I want to eat is junk food, right?" Gong Tao curled his lips and said unhappily.

"What do you want to eat? Your mom actually said it's junk food?"

"I want to eat McDonald's, I want to eat fried chicken!"

"Huh? Those things are indeed rubbish, because they are all fried foods and fast food. You have never been to the United States. If you have been there, you will find that people who often eat these things are very fat, so fat that they have to gasp when walking."

"Humph! I knew it! He even pretended to want to treat me to a meal! But in the end, it still didn't work out?"

"Sure! Why not! It's just junk food, it's not poisonous. Eating it once in a while won't kill you."

"Is this true? Aren't you afraid that your mother will scold you?"

"Your mother is the most gentle woman in the world. How could she curse?"

"She scolded me, and she scolded me so harshly! She even beat me! If she is the gentlest woman, then all the women in this world are tigers."

"Xiao Tao, she scolds you and beats you for your own good. This is called being disappointed in someone. In this world, the person who most hopes that you will become better is me, besides her. There is a saying that goes, if a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Dad is not usually with you, so mom can only educate you on my behalf. So, she has to be both a mom and a dad. She scolds you and beats you because she is exercising power on behalf of dad."

"Eh? You really know how to speak well of her!"

"She is my woman, of course I have to protect her."

"Okay! Then I forgive her!"

"That's a good kid, sensible."

Li Yunhai brought Gong Tao to the McDonald's restaurant on Huaihai Road.

Since McDonald's opened its first store on Huaihai Road in 1994, it has been widely welcomed by local consumers, and people once lined up to buy the fast food.

At that time, not many people thought that this kind of foreign food was junk food.

But Gong Jie was once a famous actress and was well-informed. In addition, she had to maintain her figure, so she paid great attention to healthy eating. She stayed away from this kind of fried food. In her opinion, this kind of food was indeed junk food.

So she seldom takes her children out to eat.

Li Yunhai is different. His way of thinking is different from that of women.

The meaning of life is to try new and different things.

As long as you don't overdo anything and don't indulge in it, even if it's playing games or eating fast food occasionally, it's harmless.

His educational philosophy was in considerable conflict with that of several women, and they often quarreled over it.

Li Yunhai and Gong Tao came to Huaihai Road and found a McDonald's restaurant.

There are crowds of people here, and many people come to McDonald's to eat, so the place is full.

Gong Tao was quick-witted. When he saw someone getting up and leaving, he immediately ran over, sat on a chair, raised his legs, and placed them on a chair next to him, shouting, "Dad! Over here!"

Li Yunhai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down first, I'll go buy some food."

At this time, Gong Jie called and asked, "Hey, Yunhai, are you still shooting today? Why aren't you going home so late?"

Li Yunhai said: "Xiao Tao said he wanted to eat outside. He and I will have dinner outside. You don't have to wait for us."

Gong Jie said sourly: "Hey, you two are going out on a date alone, but you don't take me with you?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "You are jealous of your son? Don't we have plenty of opportunities to eat out? Let's eat out at noon tomorrow."

Gong Jie chuckled and said, "Okay! Then what delicious food do you want to eat?"

Li Yunhai said: "Oh! Of course it's the delicacies from Shanghai!"

He knew that Gong Jie did not agree to let her children eat foreign fast food, so he did not tell the truth.

Gong Jie didn't think much about it and hung up the phone.

Li Yunhai bought a lot of Western fast food, including hamburgers, French fries, fried chicken and the like.

He himself is neither averse to nor dislikes these things. It doesn't matter if he eats them occasionally, and he wouldn't miss them even if he didn't eat them for a few years.

Compared with the spicy fried pork and stir-fried beef in his hometown, these foreign fast foods have no appeal to him and have no sense of existence.

Every time he goes into a store like this, he is accompanied by his children.

The children just eat it for fun and a meal can last for several months. They don’t make a fuss and don’t even think about eating it.

Gong Tao ate with gusto, taking big bites of the food, holding a delicious candy in one hand, taking a bite of a fried chicken leg with his left hand, and taking a sip of Coke with his right hand.

Li Yunhai saw the children eating so happily and felt that his appetite was also aroused.

They sat near the window. Outside the window, there were a few children who did not go home after school. They stood outside the window with their schoolbags on their backs, watching the people inside eat.

Foreign fast food has just been introduced to the market. Because of effective advertising and the support of foreign brands, it has attracted many children to salivate.

Li Yunhai bought a lot of food. He bought five different flavors of hamburgers and a big bucket of fried chicken legs.

Gong Tao suddenly picked up two hamburgers and three chicken legs and ran out.

Li Yunhai was just surprised when he saw Gong Tao distributing food to the children.

The children first retracted their hands and dared not take his food.

Gong Tao pointed at Li Yunhai who was sitting inside.

Li Yunhai waved at him.

I don’t know what Gong Tao said, but the children took the food and started eating happily, chatting with Gong Tao while eating.

Gong Tao walked in only after the children left.

Li Yunhai asked curiously: "What are you talking about with them?"

Gong Tao said: "I gave them food, and they called me big brother!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Really? You are the eldest brother now?"

Gong Tao said proudly: "Of course! We have made an appointment to go ice skating together in the future!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly. He felt that Gong Tao was the child most like himself. He was a little rebellious, liked making friends, was bold, and could talk to everyone he met.

Although Li Yanzheng, the child of him and Linzhi, is relatively young, it can be seen now that Xiaozheng has a relatively introverted personality. Linzhi is as depressed as he is, because they are both social bulls, but how come their child is so quiet and introverted.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter, Li Yanxi, is very lively and cute, and looks very much like Lin Zhi when she was a child.

It is true that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different.

After eating some fast food, they sat down and chatted for a while, then got up and left.

arrive home.

Seeing her son so happy, Gong Jie asked, "What delicious food did you and your dad go out to eat? Look how happy you are!"

Gong Tao didn't have any tricks and answered directly: "I ate McDonald's! It was delicious! I was full!"

"Ah? Isn't that Western fast food? Didn't I tell you that those fried junk foods are not to be eaten. Who knows if the oil they use is clean? If that oil is used repeatedly, it will produce toxic substances." Gong Jie began to popularize science again.

Gong Tao covered his ears with his hands and ran upstairs quickly.

Gong Jie chased after him and shouted, "Did you hear what I said? Don't eat it anymore!"

Li Yunhai said: "The child has grown up and only ate one meal. Do you think you are making irresponsible remarks about him? So many people are eating, but no one is sick from eating this."

Gong Jie said, "There are so many delicious foods at home, but you didn't come back to eat them. Instead, you went out to eat fast food. I'm really impressed by you. You even took him out to eat with you? Don't you know that you should eat less of these things?"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, just this one meal, it won't kill you."

Gong Jie said: "Eat this today, eat that tomorrow, and only eat one meal, thinking that eating won't kill you. But if you eat too much junk, the toxins in your body will accumulate, and then you will hurt yourself, right?"

Li Yunhai shook his head and said, "No wonder Xiao Tao always says that it's tiring to get along with you. You're so nagging!"

Gong Jie said: "If I don't talk too much, who will teach him?"

Li Yunhai said: "No one wants to listen to other people's nagging, not even parents. Just say something appropriate, don't make the parent-child relationship awkward."

Gong Jie then stopped talking about foreign fast food.

"By the way, I heard there's a really good movie coming out, shall we go see it together?"

"Oh, good!"

After spending time with his son, Li Yunhai had to spend time with his woman.

His greatest gain from this trip to Shanghai was not finding two capable managers, but repairing the father-son relationship between him and Gong Tao.

People are constantly learning throughout their lives, learning how to get along with their parents, learning how to get along with their children, and when they get old, they also have to learn how to get along with their grandchildren.

Li Yunhai stayed in Shanghai for a week before leaving.

When he left, Gong Tao hugged him tightly, unwilling to let him go.

Li Yunhai picked up his son, kissed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Dad is going to the north for work, you stay at home and listen to mom. Okay? Also, you are the man of the family, you must remember to protect mom."

Gong Tao nodded vigorously: "Dad, when will you come back? I want you to take me to target practice."

Li Yunhai said to Gong Jie: "If I'm not here, you can also take the child to target practice. I have already talked to the people in the barracks. You can just go directly. They all know Xiao Tao."

Gong Jie said: "It's enough to play once a week, right? Learning is the most important thing for children. Don't let it ruin your life."

Li Yunhai said: "Playthings will not make you lose your ambition. People who don't have any hobbies will not have much success."

Gong Jie smiled silently.

Li Yunhai left Shanghai and headed for Beijin.

This time when he went to Beijin, he learned his lesson and arranged for Amy and the others to return to Xizhou first. He only took Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong with him.

After arriving in Beijin, Li Yunhai moved directly into Zhu Lin's house.

Completely different from the treatment he received in Shanghai, his daughter Zhu Fei welcomed him very much. As soon as they met, she hugged him and kissed him all over the face.

Zhu Fei called out the word "Dad" diligently and loudly.

A daughter is indeed a father’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket!

Seeing his daughter being so close to him, Li Yunhai was particularly happy!
When Li Yunhai was not in Beijin, Zhu Lin would talk about him with her daughter. They would talk about him every day and let her daughter call Li Yunhai from time to time. So even though Zhu Fei had grown up, she still remembered him.

This is the different results of different family education.

Li Yunhai just drank Gong Jieqing and then ate Zhu Linchun.

The Gongs in the south and the Zhus in the north were all waiting at home for him to favor them.

This kind of heavenly life is so happy!

Li Yunhai first stayed with Zhu Lin for a few days before going to FAW to interview talents.

There are several people who have changed jobs there. Zhu Lin has already contacted them and thinks they are all pretty good.

This time, Li Yunhai went there, met and talked with them, and immediately decided to hire them.

Things went smoothly.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin returned to Beijin again.

Zhu Lin prepared employment letters and sent them to those people who changed jobs.

Zhu Fei heard them talking about job hopping and asked, "Dad, what does job hopping mean?"

Li Yunhai explained it to her.

Zhu Fei asked in surprise: "Why is it called job hopping when people change jobs? Isn't the word 'job hopping' used only by cattle and horses?"

Li Yunhai didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Zhu Fei asked, "Does that mean that once people start working, they become slaves? So when we change jobs, we use the term job hopping?"

Li Yunhai exclaimed: "Fei Fei, you are so smart! That's probably what you mean!"

Zhu Lin laughed and said, "She misinterpreted it! People are people, how can they be treated like cattle and horses?"

Zhu Fei said, "Mom, I heard that people who work have a hard life, just like working like a horse or an ox. Isn't that right? Of course you don't have a hard life, you don't have to work, anyway, it's Dad who makes money outside to support us."

Li Yunhai was very surprised. He hugged his daughter and said with a smile, "Oh, my daughter has really grown up and learned to think independently. You are so right and it makes sense! Work is very tiring. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like working like a horse."

Zhu Fei chuckled and said, "But I know that you are not a beast of burden, Dad."

Li Yunhai asked: "Why?"

Zhu Fei's eyes flickered as he said, "Because you are the big boss! You are the one who drives the cattle and horses! In this world, there are two kinds of people, one kind makes the rules, and the other kind abides by them. My father is the one who makes the rules! You are a very powerful person, at the top of the food chain!"

Li Yunhai was very surprised and asked, "Where did you learn all these things?"

Zhu Fei said: "I learned it from books! Isn't that right?"

Li Yunhai said: "Interesting!"

Li Yunhai is relieved to see that his two children born outside are so promising.

He was always worried because he had never educated his children and was afraid that they would learn bad things.

After staying in Beijin for a week, Li Yunhai set off to return to Xizhou. His car-making journey officially began! (End of this chapter)
