Chapter 516 Skating
After dinner, Zhou Rong kept his word and took Zhou Jifan and Zhong Qiaoen to the ice rink.
Five-year-old Chen Jinyu also insisted on going.
Xu Man and Wang Chengnan were worried that Zhou Rong couldn't take care of the three children alone, so they went to the skating rink with them. Chen Zhan Ning, Nini, and Xue Wanyi stayed at home to take care of Chen Jinchen and Chen Sitian.
At Luo Zhiyuan's request, Luo Dafen and Luo Qiuyue also took him to the skating rink.
We met in the alley and walked together.
"Sweet Honey" was playing in the skating rink, which was packed with young men and women.
Some of them lined up hand in hand, some hugged waists to form a train formation, some showed off their skating skills alone in the venue, and some novices kept falling and shouting... Luo Qiuyue felt that these young people's behavior was too bold and pure hooliganism. She pulled Zhou Rong and asked in a low voice: "Will they not get into trouble like this? No one is here to take care of it?"
Zhou Rong: "With so many educated youth returning to the city, it's hard to manage them all. If we don't let them expend some energy, they'll probably cause other troubles. I heard that the person who opened this skating rink has a relative who works in the district government."
Luo Qiuyue: "No wonder! It's so messy in there, you want to bring the child in?"
Zhou Rong: "I can't skate. If I go in, I'll just fall down. At my age, I'll be useless if I fall down a few times. I haven't even started to enjoy my retirement life yet, so I can't let myself get away with it!"
Luo Qiuyue laughed and said, "The cement floor is very hard. It would hurt if they fell down. Let these kids go in by themselves?"
Several children were lying on the edge of the fence, looking very excited. If we dissuade them at this time, they would definitely not be happy.
When a novice hit his knee and blood flowed, several children covered their eyes and dared not look. Zhou Rong took the opportunity to say, "I just checked, the skates here are only for adults, there are no suitable ones for you children.
Look at the man just now, he fell down and was bleeding because his shoes didn’t fit. If he had tied a thick cotton cloth on his knees, he wouldn’t have fallen so painfully.
I thought about it and decided to ask someone to make you a few pairs of skates that fit you, and sew you some thick knee pads so you don’t have to worry about falling.”
Zhou Jifan felt that what Zhou Rong said made sense: "Then let's just watch outside tonight, and then go in and play after the skates and knee pads are ready."
Zhong Qiaoen, Chen Jinyu, and Luo Zhiyuan nodded together, agreeing with what he said.
Everyone watched from the outside for an hour or so before returning home. Zhou Rong kept his word and really made custom skates for the children and also sewed knee and elbow pads for them.
Roller skates are mainly made of pulleys, iron plates and ropes. There is a shoemaker in Chang'an who can make them. A pair of shoes costs 12 yuan, which is expensive for many families. When people go to the skating rink, they usually rent shoes, which costs 2 cents each time. They can play for a few hours, which is enough to make them fun.
Zhou Rong customized a pair of shoes for Zhou Jifan, Zhong Qiaoen and Chen Jinyu. Luo Zhiyuan also wanted ice skates, so Luo Qiuyue had to customize a pair for him as well.
The skating rink was in chaos, and Zhou Rong was worried that the children would have conflicts with the adults, so after discussing with Xue Wanyi, he took them to the courtyard of Chen Mansion to practice.
At first the children stood there afraid to move. After Zhou Rong encouraged them, they slowly slid forward. However, they fell one by one because they could not control the pulley well.
Fortunately, thanks to the knee pads and elbow pads Zhou Rong prepared for them, no one was injured.
Zhou Rong also prepared one for Luo Zhiyuan. Luo Qiuyue thanked him repeatedly and said that without the knee and elbow pads, Luo Zhiyuan's knees and arms would probably have been broken.
After falling for a few days, the children mastered the trick and became more and more skilled. They could slide on their own without anyone's help.
Some families in Chang'an were well-off and doted on their children. They also customized ice skates for their children. When they learned that Zhou Rong was teaching children to skate at Chen Mansion, they asked if they could go over and practice together.
It is more lively when there are more people, otherwise the children will always clamor to go to the skating rink. Zhou Rong welcomes them to come and play together.
With the addition of new partners, Zhou Jifan and his friends had more fun.
Before coming to Chang'anli, Zhong Qiaoen felt a little sad to leave his parents, but now, he just wants to stay at his grandma's house forever. It's so fun here!
At the end of February, Xu Hanhua transferred the money to Guo Jialin, completed the resignation procedures, and returned to Jiangcheng with his wife, children and Wen Xin.
Xu Ce and Xu Hanqi were applying for visas to return to the United States, and they were surprised and happy to see them appear at their home.
After Mr. and Mrs. Xu had a chat with them about their well-being, Xu Ce asked, "You're all back now. Did something happen to Third Master?"
Wen Xin: "Yes, he was killed by Jin Biao's gang, and the territory was divided up, so we took advantage of the chaos to come back."
Xu Ce: "Jin Biao and the others combined were no match for the Third Master before, how come they suddenly beat the Third Master? Is there some hidden secret?"
Wen Xin: "I don't know exactly what happened. I only heard that the Third Master had a stroke, the gold and silver jewelry in his home were stolen, and all of his children, except Fu Yao, were killed by Jin Biao.
Chinatown was haunted some time ago. Although Jin Biao and his men won, they did not gain any real benefits. They did not find San Ye's money, and their own property also disappeared, suffering heavy losses.
They pray to the gods every day, hoping that the gods will not bother them and return the stolen property. It’s ridiculous to think about it.”
Xu Ce: "What you said is so mysterious. Why do I feel it is unreal?"
Xu Hanhua: "Mom didn't lie. Madam Guo brought Fu Yao to me and briefly told me about the Fu family. It was pretty much the same as what mom said. It seemed that the Third Master had seen with his own eyes that the treasures he had accumulated for his entire life were taken away by the gods, and he was so angry that he had a stroke.
I didn't believe in gods and ghosts before, but now, I am willing to believe in their existence and respect them. Without the help of gods, we can't get rid of the Third Master so quickly."
Xu Hanqi: "What you said makes me feel itchy. It would be great if I could see that scene with my own eyes. I have been making wishes every day recently, hoping that the Third Master would die a violent death. I didn't expect that my dream would come true. I will go to the temple to worship and thank the gods for their blessings someday."
Wen Xin: "You keep saying inappropriate things all day long. We are not going back to the United States. How are you going to handle your work there?"
Xu Hanqi: "Just write an email to resign, and then ask them to transfer the salary you owe to my bank account in Hong Kong. It's very easy to handle."
Xu Hanhua: "We got off the plane in Kyoto and looked around. The current domestic economy is relatively backward. I plan to go to Hong Kong in a few days to withdraw some money and then look for development opportunities to avoid eating up all the savings."
Xu Ce visited Tang Xing some time ago, and analyzed from his experience that the country does not have a completely open policy towards "capitalists" like them, and many restrictive conditions are not conducive to the development of children's careers.
Xu Ce supported Xu Hanhua to go to Hong Kong, just to leave a way out for his family, so as to avoid a change in policy and their "complete annihilation"...
