People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

In the evening, a bowl of braised pork ribs, a plate of stir-fried shredded carrots, and a plate of stir-fried chives and eggs were placed on the table.

Tu Nan and Xiao Ting couldn't wait any longer. They quickly washed their hands and rushed to the table like two little gluttons, their eyes wide open.

Tu Nan exclaimed happily, "Mom, you really made braised pork ribs!"

Huang Ling looked at the children and nodded with a smile. "Sit down and eat!"

Zhuang Chaoying came out of the kitchen, carrying bowls of rice, and placed them in front of everyone.

Huang Ling picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of pork rib on the plates of Xiao Ting, Tu Nan, and Zhuang Chaoying. "Eat it while it's hot, it's so delicious!"

Zhuang Chaoying watched as Huang Ling silently ate shredded carrots and occasionally shoveled some rice into her mouth.

He picked up a piece of pork rib and gently placed it in Huang Ling's bowl. "Ling, you should eat too."

Huang Ling smiled slightly and put some ribs from her bowl into Tu Nan's bowl. "Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, eat more. Mom doesn't like ribs!"

Zhuang Chaoying frowned, then placed two more pieces of pork ribs into Huang Ling's bowl. "Ling, from now on, all the money I earn will be yours. Our family isn't short of money now. You can eat pork ribs as much as you like, really!"

Huang Ling's eyes reddened slightly. She nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Eat, everyone eat!"

The plate of stir-fried chives and eggs was specially placed in front of Zhuang Chaoying: "Chaoying, eating more chives is good for your health!"

"This half-grown boy is really going to eat his father out of house and home," Tu Nan said, devouring the food like he hadn't eaten in ages.

In no time, he had eaten three bowls of rice, and finally let out a satisfied burp. "Mom, if I ate as much as I wanted, I could have eaten another bowl."

Huang Ling. "Are you full?"

Tu Nan patted his round belly. "The food was oily today, so my belly is bloated."

Zhuang Chaoying nodded: "We still need to eat meat, otherwise the children won't have enough to eat. Has Xiaoting eaten enough?"

"Dad, I'm full."

At this moment, Dongcheol finished his meal and naturally walked into the house.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

"good!"

"Brother Tunan, Xiaoting, Grandpa Zhang's family bought a TV, let's go watch it! The news broadcast is so good, there are lots of interesting things on it!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Nan was immediately intrigued and turned to look at his mother.

Huang Ling hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly.

Zhuang Chaoying saw through Tu Nan's thoughts and patted Huang Ling's hand: "Tu Nan, if Xiao Ting wants to watch, then go ahead. It's a child's nature to play. They should play when it's time to play, and they should study hard when it's time to study."

Upon hearing this, Tu Nan smiled happily and took Xiao Ting's hand. "Let's go together, Dong Zhe!"

"Great! Brother Tunan, Xiaoting, let's go!" Dongzhe jumped up excitedly.

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"

The three children flew away like little birds.

After Xiaoting and Tunan left, Zhuang Chaoying sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Aling, we have some money. Look at you, you've taken care of me and the children so well, but what about yourself? Look at your coat, the cotton is stiff, it's definitely not warm, and your shoes, the soles are worn thin. Don't always try to save money, the money is all with you, you need to take better care of yourself."

Huang Ling turned around. "I have clothes to wear. I usually wear my work uniform to work, so I don't have a chance to wear anything else. I don't need to waste money."

Zhuang Chaoying sighed softly. "When I get my salary this month, I'll go straight to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth."

"Chao Ying~~~" Huang Ling could no longer hold back, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

"Ah Ling, are you crying?" Zhuang Chaoying was a little flustered. He sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to say, and just gently wiped away Huang Ling's tears with his hand.

,,,,,,

The two lay together that night. Zhuang Chaoying felt especially at ease that night because Lingjie was finally sleeping with her again.

Zhuang Chaoying is a restless sleeper; she squeezed Huang Ling inside her and haphazardly put her hands and feet on Huang Ling's body.

Huang Ling felt incredibly heavy, almost unable to breathe. She groggily opened her eyes, lifted her head, and gently moved the hands and legs that were on her body to the side. "Chaoying, you're not even covered with a blanket! What if you catch a cold!"

Zhuang Chaoying was wearing thermal underwear, and that part of her body was completely exposed.

He regained consciousness and noticed something was wrong when Huang Ling moved his leg.

Now he can only pretend to be asleep.

Huang Ling blushed and used her arms to support her body as she reached for the other blanket. She lost her balance and fell directly onto Chao Ying.

"what!"

Huang Ling was a little anxious. "Chao Ying, are you alright? I just wanted to cover you with a blanket."

Zhuang Chaoying was pinned down there, and a strange sensation shot through her brain, making her scalp tingle. "I'm okay! I'm okay!"

Zhuang Chaoying helped Huang Ling up and then covered her with the blanket.

Huang Ling got up. "I'll go cook, you can sleep a little longer!"

When Huang Ling left, Zhuang Chaoying covered her head with the blanket, feeling extremely embarrassed!

This man's body is so annoying, can't he just stop every morning?

Under the covers, Zhuang Chaoying felt increasingly short of breath, as if the stifling air was about to engulf him.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and he suddenly pulled the blanket down, panting heavily.

Huang Ling put away the leftover ribs, stewed some pumpkin, and everyone ate some rice.

"Ah Ling, you're off today too, how about we take Tu Nan and Xiao Ting to the park?"

Hearing this, Tu Nan and Xiao Ting, who were engrossed in reading, perked up immediately.

Xiaoting blinked her big eyes at Huang Ling. "Really?"

Huang Ling smiled and nodded.

"Mom agreed! Pack your things, let's head to the park!"

Tu Nan jumped up excitedly and pulled Xiao Ting to prepare the things they needed for going out.

"Yay!" Xiaoting cheered.

After the family had tidied up and happily walked out of the yard, they heard a familiar voice.

"Hello, does Teacher Zhuang live here?"

Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying exchanged a glance, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. "Catch up with America!"

The two families bumped right into each other at the alley entrance!

Zhuang Chaoying looked at them, her brows furrowed, and her tone was somewhat cold. "Why are you here?"

Ganmei led Zhendong and Zhenbei, and the two children greeted them politely. "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Aunt!"

Zhuang Chaoying reluctantly replied, "Okay!"

Mother Zhuang: "You've moved, and since it's your day off, we thought we'd come and visit. Xiaoting and Tunan, why won't you let us in?"

Zhuang Chaoying walked ahead, whispering in Huang Ling's ear, "Looks like we can't go to the park today! Ling, hide the meat well." He knew that this family's arrival was never good.

Huang Ling understood, and with Tu Nan in her hand and Zhuang Chaoying carrying Xiao Ting, they turned around and walked back.

Zhuang Chaoying thought to herself, "It's good that they've come. I'll get this over with quickly. I wonder what kind of reward the system will give me for completing this 'task'."

Song Ying saw Ling Jie go out and then come back in the yard. "Why is Ling Jie back again? Weren't you going out to play?"

Huang Ling gave Song Ying a meaningful look. "Grandma and her brother-in-law's family are here!"

"Oh!" Song Ying immediately understood.

As Mrs. Zhuang entered the house, she began to survey it as if conducting an inspection, a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "Chaoying, this house is much bigger than before."

The beautiful wife quickly chimed in, "Yes, brother, this house is really nice!"

Huang Ling felt a little uncomfortable, but she still went to the kitchen and stir-fried a large plate of shredded carrots, and then brought out a pot of stewed pumpkin and put it on the table.

Ganmei looked at the food, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. He looked at his mother and told her to get straight to the point.

Mrs. Zhuang received her youngest son's signal and cleared her throat. "Chaoying, your house is big enough now. Zhendong and Zhenbei are on vacation, so let them come and stay for a while. You can tutor them, and Tunan will have company."

Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Chaoying.

Before Zhuang Chaoying could speak, Huang Ling spoke up first. "Grandma, with Zhendong and Zhenbei moving in, how will they manage their meals? Tunan is at the age where he's growing and needs to eat a lot, and Xiaoting's ration needs to be subsidized for Tunan. Our food supply is already tight."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang's mother's expression darkened, and she looked at Chaoying. "Chaoying, in our family, the men make the decisions. What's your opinion?"

"Ah Ling's opinion is my opinion. We don't even have enough to eat. If Zhen Dong and Zhen Bei come over, they'll be starving!"

Zhuang Chao's tone was firm; he didn't want his family to suffer.
