A Home for Veterans Chapter 15 Overtime (I)
The moon sprinkled a layer of silver light on the earth, and the dim street lamps destroyed the artistic conception of the spring moonlit night, which seemed to play a role in painting snakes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to the requirements of Director Ren, he will work overtime with Fan Gong tonight, and according to the amount of funds available for subsidies in the ministry, the housing subsidies that retired cadres have already put in place, the funds that cadres themselves must come up with to buy houses, and the market conditions they have learned so far, they will carefully calculate an account to see what kind of land price the army can accept when negotiating with Reliance Company, and then determine the bottom line of the negotiations after reporting to the head of the department.
Pushing open the office door, Tamson saw Fan Gong burying his head in a pile of papers, where he was drawing a form. Wang Quan was also sitting in his place, wrapped in a cloud of smoke reading the newspaper. Tan Sen hurriedly opened the window and said to Wang Quan: "Is it because your wife doesn't let you smoke at home, so you came here to release poison?" ”
"What you said is not right, smoking is a good thing, not poisoning, and I spend money to buy cigarettes to smoke mainly to increase taxes for the country." Wang Quan said without raising his head.
"Even children know the dangers of smoking, and you still say it's a good thing, but look at the ashtray in front of you with green smoke floating in front of you, doesn't it look like a miniature crematorium? Since smoking is a good thing for the country to increase taxes, why don't you let your son learn to smoke. Think about how you threatened him before? Oh, by the way, 'If you dare to learn to smoke, I'll break both of your legs and put your shoes and socks out of work.'" Your son should ask you, 'Why do you say that hard and simple is a good thing, and let me learn from you?' Why do you say that smoking is a good thing, but you don't want me to follow suit? ”
Wang Quan said to Fan Gong, who was busy working on the side: "The more this guy Tan is there, the more he loves to expose my shortcomings and make me ugly, Fan Gong, are you right?" ”
Fan Gong raised his head and said inexplicably, "What did you just say?" I didn't care to listen. ”
"You didn't hear what we just said, so I'll say it again!" Tamsyn said.
Wang Quan hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, let's listen to me, there is such a story, several children are dissatisfied with their parents' discipline and tell strange things together." The first one said that my grandfather asked me to take a cool shower in the winter in order to save on gas bills. The second said that in order to save money on the family's electric lights, my grandmother asked me to write my homework in Braille at night while studying. The third said that my father was going to let me go to the hospital to cut off half of my stomach in order to save food. The fourth said that my mother asked me to practice standing up at night in order to make me use less bedding at home------"
"The fifth said that my father smoked himself and did not let me learn to smoke, so that I climbed on the chimney when I wanted to smoke------"
Wang Quan didn't wait for Tan Sen to finish speaking, he pushed him and said, "You guy will never forget my appearance everywhere!" ”
Fan Gong stopped what he was saying and said on the side: "Telling strange things is the behavior of small children, and older children should fight against their parents if they are not satisfied with them, my son turned out to be like that, you say a word about him, he wants to return two words to you." Sometimes what you want to say hasn't come out yet, and he's already ready to be critical and waiting for you. ”
"This shows that today's children are improving, have brains, and can think." Tamsyn said.
Wang Quan was not satisfied, and said to Tan Sen: "Some people will pick up cheap and sell well, the 'successor of the revolutionary cause' you have cultivated for the country is a girl, obedient and easy to manage, how can you understand the difficulties of parents who discipline boys." ”
"You are the one who picked up the bargain and sold it, the only child is a boy, and many children's parents can't ask for it."
"It's still a girl who is easy to discipline and easy to support, you see that you are a family of three, with few contradictions, light burden, and a good life, the husband is as strong as a pine and cypress, the wife is as gentle as a willow, and the daughter is beautiful and lovely like a flower, which is really enviable."
"According to how you describe it, our family has become a 'plant' person." Tamson said with a smile.
Fan Gong said: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, there is a problem of family education. Through educating children over the years, I have an experience, that is, the truth is straight, but the human ear canal is curved, and the truth does not need to be said tactfully, it will not enter the human head through the human ear, which is the case for adults, and even more so for children. ”
Tan Sen echoed and said: "What Fan Gong said is very reasonable, speaking is a working method and an art. I have heard two jokes, the first is that an eldest sister went to the bank to withdraw a fixed amount of money in advance, and the young female staff said to her, your death date has not yet arrived, and you can only get it by taking your ID card. The eldest sister quit and shouted to the female staff: 'Your time of death has not yet arrived, have you spoken like this!' As a result, the two men had a big fight. The second one was a gentleman eating in a restaurant, and the waitress came to him with a cup and said, "Sir, your milk is here!" This gentleman is more cultured, and asked the waitress calmly, my milk is here, is my grandfather here? ”
"The joke told by Counselor Tan is very interesting, logically speaking, the bank staff and the waiter in the restaurant are not wrong in what they want to express, but the words they say cannot withstand scrutiny, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding by others." Fan Gong said with a smile.
Wang Quan said disapprerovingly: "I am not opposed to paying attention to the art of speaking to outsiders, but there is no need to detour when talking to one's own family, Comrade Tan Sen once taught us, 'Home is a place where you can talk casually and vent your feelings. ”
"You're not entirely right in what you're saying, and you're misinterpreting what I've said." Tamson said, "A person in his own home can be more casual than outside, but people in his own family also have the same self-esteem and need to respect each other as people outside." If you don't respect your son now, your son may not respect you when you're old in the future. ”
"It doesn't matter if he respects me or not, and I don't expect him to provide for me in my old age. I have already thought about it, when my wife and I are unable to move, if my son does not want to take care of the old man, it is troublesome and troublesome, we will pay some money and live in a nursing home, where the old couple would rather taste alone and enjoy the pain of family. ”
"You're ready to go to a nursing home, but now you're worried about buying affordable housing, what are you going to do?"
"Before I go to the nursing home, I have to have a nest of my own!"
"If there is no respect and affection between family members, what you call a home is not called a 'home,' at best it is only a part of a building, or a 'house.'"
Wang Quan listened to Tan Sen's words, looked a little unnatural, and said to Fan Gong with a red face: "Listen to what Tan Gaoshen said just now, do you think he looks like a theorist." ”
"I don't like theorists, theorists are truths that others can explain in one sentence, he wants to talk about problems that others can't understand for a long time, and he won't say a word." Tamsyn said.
"Then you're like a philosopher."
"I don't like philosophers either, philosophers are things that others understand, and he can explain things that others understand, but he doesn't understand them."
