214 Buying the Children's First Costumes (1/3)
Because the choir children don’t have to attend classes now, they naturally don’t have to rehearse until very late.
Lu Chen gave the children time to get off school one hour later than the school time.
In this way, most parents can catch up to pick up their children from school.
However, after school today, Lu Chen did not let the children go, and even invited the parents to the school.
When most of the parents arrived, Lu Chen said two things.
"The first thing is that on Saturday, Teacher Wu, Teacher He and me will take the children to the small auditorium of the community senior activity center to perform a rehearsal before the National Day performance. I hope that parents can watch it if they have time.
The second thing is the uniform dress of the children's performances. It was too late to customize the performance costumes for the children, so I decided to let the children buy them together.
She has a white shirt on her upper body, black pants on her lower body, and a pair of black leather shoes.”
The first thing announced made the parents very excited and looked forward to the performances of their children.
After the second thing was announced, parents also whispered to discuss it.
Soon a girl's parents asked, "Teacher Lu, what you just mentioned was that you are wearing a white shirt on the upper body, black pants on the lower body, and a pair of black leather shoes. Is this how every child does? Girls wear it like this?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, this time, because time is tight, I dress like this first."
Then, a parent asked: "Then Teacher He, what style does a white shirt need? Are the pants straight trousers or the bell-bottom trousers you want to perform?"
As parents ask questions, more and more parents naturally ask questions.
Most of the parents who asked were girls.
It is obvious that girls’ parents care more about whether their daughters are dressed beautifully or appropriately.
Lu Chen didn't expect that parents could tell so much about the white shirt and black pants.
After a while of a sharp blow, Lu Chen said directly: "Let's do this. After our performance on Saturday, I will arrange for the children to buy them together, because I can't be sure if they will wear them in the future, so I don't have to be too good this time.
And I will pay the money for the unified purchase this time personally, so I hope all parents can understand it."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the small auditorium where the parents were called for a meeting became quiet instantly.
No one expected that Lu Chen would pay for the clothing purchase cost himself.
Finally, some parents said embarrassedly: "Teacher Lu, this is not suitable? How can you let yourself pay? Otherwise, we will go back and buy it with our children?"
Some parents said, "How about this, Teacher Lu, you should pay in advance first, and we will pay for the next amount of money."
This method has received support from most parents present.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can see how much you buy first. Let's give it to you in the future."
However, although most parents agree, some parents are not very happy.
After all, if Lu Chen goes to buy it, he cannot determine the quality of the clothes. The key is that the price may not be explained clearly.
Now, these parents have little trust in Lu Chen.
Lu Chen naturally saw it.
As a father, he can understand the concerns of parents.
So he finally said firmly: "Please don't worry, everyone, the children's clothing will not be very expensive, so I paid the money, nothing.
These children are your children, but they are also mine.
I hope my children, on their first performance in their lives, can show their best side at this moment.”
Lu Chen's words once again calmed down the small auditorium.
All parents, including Wu Hongxia and He Youwei present, looked at Lu Chen incredibly.
Although the students were still a little confused, they also understood that Teacher Lu wanted to pay for them to buy performance costumes.
Finally, under the leadership of Qi Jiayu, the children applauded Lu Chen together.
The parents then applauded Lu Chen.
Hearing everyone's applause made Lu Chen a little helpless.
After giving everyone a little time, he waved his hand to calm everyone down.
"Okay, that's it. I'll ask parents to send their children to school on Saturday morning. I'll take them to buy clothes first, and then in the afternoon, we will perform in the auditorium of the Community Senior Activity Center."
Things were finalized, and no one had any opinions.
After the parents took their children away one after another.
Wu Hongxia walked up to Lu Chen and said, "I really didn't expect that you would have to pay the money yourself."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Hahaha, there is actually not much money, there are only thirty-six students."
He Youwei said next to her: "But it's a lot of money. Now the children's clothes are not cheap."
Wu Hongxia also nodded: "Yes, children's clothes are not cheap now."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It won't cost much money if it's not cheap. Besides, this time it's too time-consuming, so I can only deal with it first. Maybe this time, I may not use the clothing in the future?"
He Youwei heard this and said, "That's right, so you don't have to buy it this time."
Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "So, it really won't cost much."
Wu Hongxia and He Youwei no longer worry about this matter.
After everyone said goodbye to each other, Lu Chen drove home with his daughter.
On the way, Lu Xiaoxi asked behind her: "Dad, do you really want to buy clothes for us all?"
Lu Chen nodded while driving: "Yes, but don't tell grandparents and grandparents about this when you go home."
Yang Xiaoxi immediately asked curiously: "Why?"
Without waiting for his father to answer, Lu Xiaoxi also asked: "Yes, why can't we tell grandparents and grandparents?"
Lu Chen smiled and replied to the daughters behind him: "Because, grandparents and grandparents will blame their father for spending money indiscriminately, and they may criticize their father at that time."
Lu Xiaoxi quickly said, "Then don't want grandparents and grandparents to criticize their father, Lu Xiaoxi won't tell them."
Yang Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "But Dad, are we lying to grandparents and grandparents like this?"
Lu Chen was stunned by this question, thinking about how to answer his daughter.
After thinking for a long time, he spoke, "Actually, this is not a fraud. We just hide it and don't tell them that this is the little secret between you and your father, okay?"
When Lu Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately applauded.
"Okay, okay, Yang Xiaoxi, let's keep the little secret with dad."
Although Yang Xiaoxi still felt something was wrong, he saw Lu Xiaoxi's excited look and his father's serious expression.
She nodded and agreed not to say: "Okay, Yang Xiaoxi also helps her father keep the little secret."
Seeing that the two daughters agreed to keep the secret, Lu Chen smiled and nodded: "Very good, Dad, thank you Yang Xiaoxi and Lu Xiaoxi, thank you for your good daughter, and you are willing to help your father keep the little secret."
Lu Xiaoxi immediately smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Yang Xiaoxi was also infected by Lu Xiaoxi and laughed: "Well, dad, you're welcome."
