MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 36 learn to swim
In this era, technology is not developed enough, and people have far less ways of entertainment than later generations. Watching movies is one of the few entertainment activities for people. But this entertainment is also extravagant, and not everyone is willing to buy a movie ticket for 15 cents.
Even if Lin Wei's family income is not low, no one will watch movies every other day. In fact, this is the first movie anyone else has watched this year except Lin Wei.
But even Lin Wei, the last movie was also released by the unit, without spending any money.
Therefore, the six people were very excited when they entered the screening room, and there were not a few people who were as excited as them when they entered the screening room, and the screening room was buzzing.
But when the movie started, the discussion stopped, and everyone looked at the big screen attentively.
As the movie unfolded, there was a low sobbing sound in the screening hall, and a war movie was played on the screen. Although the ending was good, the process was very tragic.
Lin Wei and the others were no exception, their eyes were red.
Although their lives are secure now, most of them are no strangers to war.
Liu Dan is the oldest, thirty-one this year, and when he was sensible, the war was not over yet. Yang Yi, Deng Xiangyun and Zhao Li are about the same age and have all experienced the war to aid Korea. Especially Zhao Li, whose hometown is close to the battlefield, people around her were afraid every day. On the day of the victory of the war, many people around her cried with excitement.
Lin Wei was the youngest, so she had never experienced a war. She didn't know anything about it when she aided the DPRK. Later, the war in the south was far away, and her country had an advantage, so everyone was less panicked.
But Lin Wei married a soldier. Although the scale of the naval battle at the beginning of the year was not large and the duration was short, she was also very worried for a few days.
Only after experiencing war will you know the preciousness of peace. When you look back at that history, you will be even more moved, and because of this, you will cry.
So, when we went back, everyone's eyes were swollen.
So much so that after returning to the family area, all the people they met on the road thought they were being bullied. If Zhao Li hadn't explained it quickly, she would have almost copied the guy to seek justice for them.
It's just that after explaining it clearly, although everyone understands why they cry like this, and thinks that if they were replaced by themselves, it is estimated that their eyes will not be much better, but this does not prevent everyone from laughing at them friendly and spreading the matter.
So that night, all the family members knew about the six of them watching a movie and crying their eyes into walnuts.
Because they were asked too many questions along the way, after entering the family area, Liu Dan and the others did not rush back, but went to Deng Xiangyun's house by counting money and dividing iron wires. Family members are worried.
Because everyone went to Deng Xiangyun's house, there was no need to calculate extra money, and Lin Wei, who needed iron wire, also went to her house.
Well, she was also afraid that her family would be worried.
Deng Xiangyun said, "..." Don't my family worry about the behavior of all the friends?
Facts have proved that her family really won't worry, because they are, no, at home!
Because the door was open, when she entered the house and didn't see anyone, Deng Xiangyun thought they were in the backyard or upstairs, but she ended up in the front yard and backyard. She searched upstairs and downstairs and couldn't see anyone. not so good.
Yang Yi thought she was worried and comforted: "Should I go to someone else's house?"
Zhao Li also said: "Yes, instructor Zhou is an adult, and he will never lose his old shígG Dujia." What's more, this is the military family area of the base, and they are all acquaintances.
Deng Xiangyun said angrily: "I'm not worried about him, I'm angry that he doesn't know how to lock the door when he goes out. It doesn't matter if he doesn't lock the door, is it difficult to bring the door? It's a pity that I made a good promise when I went out, but as soon as I came back ...too worry-free!"
Because when everyone came in, it was preconceived that there was someone in Deng Xiangyun's family, so even if Zhou Jianhai was not at home later, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with the door being open.
It was not until Deng Xiangyun brought it up that everyone reacted.
"This is because your old Zhou did something wrong. When he comes back, you have to talk about him." Liu Dan said, "By the way, did you lose anything at home?"
Although the security in the family area is very good, second-class people dare not come here, and there are no people who like to steal chickens and dogs, but after all, the door is open and no one is there, so I still have to check.
"Nothing was lost." Deng Xiangyun shook his head and said, she had checked it just now.
Deng Xiangyun just found out that Zhou Jianhai was a little angry when he went out without closing the door. After a few words, it was over, and when he remembered the business, he asked Lin Wei for iron wire.
Because it was inconvenient to hold in her hand because she had to eat and watch a movie, and among the six, Lin Wei brought a large bag, Deng Xiangyun asked her to help.
Looking over to find the wire, Deng Xiangyun cut the wire with scissors. Liu Dan, Zhao Li, Yang Yi and Chen Bamei each divided a section. It is not long, but there must be more than enough for hats.
After dividing the things, a few people calculated the money again. There was not much, but everyone was not greedy for the two cents. Although Deng Xiangyun said it was okay, they still gave the money forcefully.
After reckoning, it was getting late, and several people borrowed the mirror of Deng Xiangyun's house to look at their eyes, and they went back to their respective houses when they saw that they were not too swollen.
Lin Wei also went back to her house, but she was in the same situation as Zhou's house, the door was open and no one was there.
Are these two people dating?
Just thinking about it, Deng Xiangyun came over and asked if Zhou Jianhai and Xiao Shishi were at her house.
"No, but my door is also open. They should go out together, but I don't know where to go." Lin Wei said, put her bag on the sofa, poured a cup of tea and greeted Deng Xiangyun who was standing at the door, "Don't worry about it. They are, since the door is open, they must not have gone far, and they may come back in a while."
But Deng Xiangyun didn't say a word, he only covered his eyes with his hands and looked out. After a while, he pointed in one direction and asked, "Is that your Zong Shao?"
"where?"
Lin Wei came out of the room and looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Zong Shao standing in the sea with his chest folded, looking at the three shadows fluttering in front of him... No, child.
"It's him, Mingming Ruirui and your little stone are also there."
Lin Wei walked quickly across the beach, stood on the shore and shouted, "Zong Shao."
Zong Shao turned his head when he heard the sound, but instead of walking to the shore, he lowered his head and said something. The next second, Mingming jumped out of the water, patted the water on his face with both hands, and said to Lin Wei happily, "Mom, I can swim!"
While talking, he swam twice, and when the water was too shallow to swim, he switched from swimming to running until he threw himself into Lin Wei's arms.
"My clothes!" Lin Wei wailed, still hugged her son, looked up at Zong Shao and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of teaching them how to swim?"
Zong Shao held Rui Rui in one hand and a small stone in the other, walked to Lin Wei and said, "It's hot in the sky, and it's cool to go to the sea. If they want to come over, I'll teach you by the way. When did you come back?"
"As soon as I got back, I said, why don't you close the door when you go out." Lin Wei said, reaching out and wiping the water on Rarity's face, and asked, "How did you learn?"
Rarity replied, "I can swim."
"I can also swim, and I can swim while lying down, like this." Mingming said he raised his hands and swung backwards in a backstroke.
Lin Wei was surprised: "How long have you been swimming? Are you learning so fast?"
"Obviously, he's very talented, and he can basically teach him." Zong Shao put Rarity down and said, "But Rarity is also a good learner, and he can learn fast among beginners."
"Wow, you are all so amazing!" Lin Wei was very cheering and gave the two children a thumbs up.
Receiving her mother's compliment, Rarity just smiled and pursed her lips, accepting it reservedly. Mingming pretended to be modest and said, "I'm not very good either, I'm just average!"
Lin Wei: "..." If I hadn't seen the proud tail, I would have believed your words.
Glancing at Deng Xiangyun, who was wiping the sea water on Xiao Shishi's face, Lin Wei remembered and asked, "By the way, isn't Instructor Zhou with you?"
Deng Xiangyun heard the words and looked over.
"Together." Zong Shao said, turning around and looking towards the sea. After looking at it for about half a minute, he pointed his finger in a direction and said, "There."
Lin Wei looked in the direction he pointed, but saw nothing: "No one."
"That shadow is." Zong Shao said.
"How can there be a shadow?" Lin Wei narrowed her eyes and looked at it for half a minute before she saw the shadow that was about the size of an ant. "That's Instructor Zhou? So small?"
"The farther away, the smaller it looks." When Zong Shao spoke, he saw Deng Xiangyun staring at the shadow without blinking, and he paused and comforted, "Old Zhou is very good, and will swim back soon. ."
Deng Xiangyun pursed his lips and smiled: "Well."
It may be that he saw the figure on the shore. Not long after Zong Shao said that, Zhou Jianhai began to swim up the shore. He swam very fast, and in just two or three minutes, he changed from a black shadow the size of an ant to the size of a sea bowl, and then gradually saw his body shape and facial features.
Seeing him coming back, Deng Xiangyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Shishi also shouted loudly, "Dad!"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Jianhai in the sea swam harder, stood up from the sea after a while, wiped the water on his face and walked to the shore.
Here he is still telling the story of his learning to swim, but the content can be summed up in eight words-talent and smart, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it.
Very stinky!
Zong Shao, the father, didn't have the patience to listen. He bent down to his wife's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to learn to swim?"
Lin Wei was also not very attentive, and immediately replied: "Me? Let's forget it." Sports has never been her strength, and she was afraid that she would not be able to learn it herself.
Of course, what's more important is that her son can learn it right away. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she didn't learn it after a long time?
It's better not to learn, so that she can maintain her dignity as a mother.
However, as soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, Zong Shao slapped him and hugged him.
Lin Wei's body suddenly lost weight, she let out an uncontrollable cry, and hugged Zong Shao's neck tightly to maintain her balance. Just looking at the getting closer and closer to the sea, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
"Teach you how to swim."
Lin Wei immediately said, "I don't—"
But before she could finish her sentence, she heard Zong Shao say, "Don't worry, I can help you cheat. Even if you don't learn it, you don't have to worry about losing face in front of the children."
When Xiaosi was exposed, Lin Wei became angry: "Who said I couldn't learn? Isn't it just swimming? I can learn it easily!"
"so."
Zong Shao hesitated and said, "Then I let go?"
Lin Wei lowered her head when she heard the sound, and saw that she was submerged in the sea below her neck, and as Zong Shao let go of her hand, her whole body began to fall.
Lin Wei widened her eyes, raised her head and hugged Zong Shao's neck even harder.
Zong Shao: "…Let go."
"I'm not loose!"
Zong Shao glanced at the shore: "There are many people on the shore, watching us." Then he said, "But if you don't care, I don't mind being held by you like this."
I care!
In this day and age, people are very strict in their life style. Even if they are husband and wife, if they are hugging and hugging outside, they will inevitably be criticized and educated if they are caught.
Lin Wei was thin-skinned, and did not dare to look back, so she let go of her hands, and then fell into the water and fluttered.
But Zong Shao didn't let her flutter, he quickly grabbed her arm and helped her up.
Hey, it looks like you can step on the bottom of the sea.
After standing up straight, Lin Wei realized that this place is not as deep as she thought. Before, she thought that it was not as deep as her neck, just because she was held by Zong Shao, and she was much shorter visually.
Standing up now, she realized that the sea water only reached her chest.
Realizing this, Lin Wei glared at Zong Shao: "You did it on purpose?"
Zong Shao took the blame seriously: "You are too nervous."
Lin Wei immediately said, "That's why you took me down, and I didn't plan to learn to swim."
"It's my fault," Zong Shao admitted his mistake fluently, and then changed his voice, "but it's all down, you really don't plan to give it a try? Actually swimming is not difficult, mastering the skills, it is easy to learn, just like Rui Rui and Mingming have only studied for over an hour."
Listening to Zong Shao's words, and thinking about the progress of the three children, Lin Wei felt that swimming was not that difficult.
Although her athletic talent is average, she didn't plan to eat into a fat man in one bite.
It's not a bad thing to have one more skill.
Although the atmosphere is relatively conservative now, she has learned to estimate that there is not much chance to go into the water, but after the change, the atmosphere will be much more open. In the 1980s, there were many people who wore swimsuits to the beach for vacation.
Maybe she will be able to catch up with the trend at that time.
Thinking of this, Lin Wei gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll learn!"
It’s just that in terms of sports, it’s never the case that older people can learn faster, it depends on talent. If I have to say it, children are soft and their limbs are often more flexible than adults, and they have an advantage in learning this aspect.
In learning to swim, Lin Wei is really not as good as three children.
They can swim in the water for more than an hour, and they also learned to backstroke. Lin Wei fluttered in the water until it was dark, and she only learned to flutter. As soon as Song Shao let go, she would be nervous, and if she was nervous, she would not be able to.
But it is really comfortable and cool to be in the sea this season.
Lin Wei was still a little reluctant when she came out of the water, but it was getting dark, and she was hungry and tired now, so don't bother.
After returning home, the old shígG dujia, Lin Wei found clothes to take a bath, Zong Shao went to Zhou Jianhai's house in the back, and called the brothers back.
He was clearly brought back by Zong Shao. Of the three children, he spent the longest time thrashing in the sea. He was very sleepy after a crazy day. When Zong Shao passed by, he was already dozing off, too lazy to walk, and wanted to hug him coquettishly.
Zong Shao was soft-hearted, so he picked Mingming up and went back with Rarity's hand.
On the way, Rui Rui asked about her mother's learning to swim. They were brought back by Xiao Shi's parents after watching them on the shore for a while, so he still didn't know how Lin Wei was learning.
Zong Shao remembered Lin Wei's explanation when he came back, and said, "It's good."
Although Rarity wasn't quite sure at first whether it was learned or not, he then thought that both he and his brother had learned, and Dad didn't tell them about them.
In fact, Rarity didn't quite understand whether it was learned or not, but he thought about it, his brother would swim while lying down, and his father didn't say that he learned well, so his mother should have learned better than his brother?
So when Lin Wei came out of the shower, the youngest son's heartfelt praise came on her face.
Lin Wei was so complimented that she didn't think about it until she went to bed and asked Zong Shao, "What did you tell Rarity? Why did he suddenly say I'm amazing?"
Zong Shao said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that when he asked me how you were doing, I replied very well."
"that's it?"
"Well." Zong Shao nodded and asked again, "Let's practice next Sunday?"
"This…"
Lin Wei hesitated. Although staying in the sea was very comfortable, learning to swim was really tiring, and it was really uncomfortable to choke on the water. Lin Wei didn't think much about it when she was studying, but after going ashore, taking a bath and lying on the bed, Lin Wei felt a little lazy and wanted to retreat.
But it was a bit embarrassing to say it directly, so Lin Wei found a reason and said, "Didn't we agree to go to the movies next Sunday?"
After she thought about it, she would delay it for a week, maybe Zong Shao would forget about it.
However, Zong Shao's answer cruelly broke her fantasy. He said, "It's okay, a movie takes an hour and a half. We will go in the morning and come back in the afternoon to learn."
Lin Wei's head twitched: "Although our plan is to watch a movie, we can't just turn around and come back. Do we still have to have a meal? The chefs of the state-run restaurant in the county are very skilled, and the food seems to be local. Special dishes, the children have not eaten for so long on the island, I have to take them to try it..."
"It won't take much time to eat and watch movies. Didn't you come back at four o'clock today?" Zong Shao changed his voice, "and Rarity knows you learned to swim and admires you now, but if they want to talk to you next time You swim together, only to find you can't at all..."
Lin Wei hurriedly interrupted Zong Shao: "Okay, okay, can I continue to study?"
Lin Wei has now found out. From the moment she was fooled by Zong Shao and nodded and agreed to learn to swim, she was on the boat of thieves, and she couldn't get off if she wanted to go back.
Isn't that just learning to swim? For the dignity of her mother, she fought hard!
