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

Zhuang Chaoying replied with a smile, "I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back. Bye!"

He left the bicycle with Tu Nan, thinking that he wouldn't need it since he wouldn't be able to leave the house during the marking period.

Following the address on the letter of introduction, Zhuang Chaoying searched all the way and finally arrived at the gate of the compound. "Is anyone home?"

A staff member in a khaki uniform came out. "Are you a teacher here to grade the papers?"

Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly took out her letter of introduction and handed it over through the iron bars.

The man examined it carefully, and after confirming that everything was correct, he returned the letter of introduction to Zhuang Chaoying, then opened the door. "Come with me!"

"Yes!" Zhuang Chaoying responded and followed the staff into the courtyard.

The days of grading papers were truly unbearable; the room was like a steamer, unbearably hot.

At first, some teachers couldn't stand the heat and took off their shirts. Zhuang Chaoying initially felt a little embarrassed, but as the temperature continued to rise, he eventually couldn't stand the heat anymore and had no choice but to join the "bare-chested army".

Moreover, I had to read 500 to 600 exam papers a day, which made my neck stiff.

The situation worsened by nightfall.

The smells of feet, body odor, and brain oil, among other unpleasant odors, mix together in the enclosed space and continue to ferment.

Especially the constant snoring, it was deafening.

The worst part was that these male teachers were only wearing their underwear in the dormitory, wandering around, which made Zhuang Chaoying feel somewhat disoriented.

There was even a male teacher who was close to him who enthusiastically invited him to take a bath together and scrub each other's backs, which made Zhuang Chaoying very embarrassed.

He could only take a shower after all the teachers had finished showering; he really didn't want to get a sty!

His back, arms, and legs were covered in bites from those nasty mosquitoes, but thankfully Ah Ling was thoughtful and brought him some Tiger Balm!

In such harsh conditions, Zhuang Chaoying missed the refreshing and delicious snake gourd at home, and even more so, she missed her gentle, considerate, and understanding Ah Ling.

Finally, when he finished grading the papers, he felt as if he had shed a layer of skin.

Her dark circles had gotten much bigger, and her original height of 1.75 meters had dropped to only 130 kilograms.

The marking subsidy is 2.5 yuan per day, which is 25 yuan for ten days! That's not bad!

,,,,,,

On the other side, Lin Dongzhe, this mischievous "little monkey," got into trouble again.

He even took a snake gourd to school to scare the female students.

He looked exactly like a mischievous little devil, jumping around in the classroom, scaring the female students so much that their faces turned pale and screams rose and fell.

The teacher immediately called Song Ying to the school.

In the office, the teacher, with a serious expression, launched into a scathing critique of Song Ying. Her words came out like a machine gun, each sentence carrying weight, until Song Ying blushed and lowered her head in shame.

At the same time, the teacher solemnly asked Song Ying to give Lin Dongzhe a profound lesson that touched his soul, so that he would realize his mistakes and reform himself.

As punishment for his mischievous behavior, Lin Dongzhe was forced by Song Ying to eat snake gourd for two weeks.

After eating so much snake gourd, my mouth felt so bland, and a week later, I finally couldn't resist and ate Xiaoting's poached egg.

This was terrible; Xiaoting was so upset that she burst into tears.

As things progressed, Lin Wufeng, in an effort to quell the minor incident, personally cooked two golden and tempting fried eggs for Xiaoting. Lin Dongzhe also realized his mistake and sincerely invited Xiaoting to read a comic book.

And so, this little farce caused by snake gourd and fried egg finally came to an end.

Days passed, and the results were released.

Lin Dongzhe was like a little megaphone; he went with Tu Nan and Xiao Ting to the school to see the posted notices.

The school was bustling with people, all searching for their names on the list.

Lin Dongzhe squeezed through the crowd, his small body weaving in and out. He finally managed to reach the front of the list, and his bright eyes immediately spotted the name Zhuang Tunan. He was so excited that his face turned bright red.

He struggled to squeeze through the crowd and ran back quickly to inform Brother Tunan.

"Brother Tunan! He got into No. 1 High School! Brother Tunan got into No. 1 High School!"

Lin Dongzhe's clear and loud voice came from outside into the yard. Huang Ling was busy inside when she heard the call. She was overjoyed and quickly walked out into the yard.

Then I saw the three children running back happily.

Song Ying was overjoyed. "Great job, Tu Nan! Aunt Song will make you braised pork today!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling hurriedly went to get her money. "Song Ying, I have meat coupons."

Song Ying took Huang Ling's hand and said, "Let's go shopping together!"

Meanwhile, on the day the results were released in Tunan, Zhuang Chaoying was also released after finishing her marking work.

He stood at the door with his luggage, looking at the world outside, and felt a little unfamiliar with it.

The ten days of closed-door grading had isolated him from the outside world, and he seemed somewhat dazed at this moment.

Seeing that no one was around, he bought three packs of peach shortbread in the system, intending to take them back for his family to try.

Then, he counted the money in his hand, took the twenty-five yuan marking subsidy, and added some more for himself.

The current price of gold is fourteen yuan per gram, and he was thinking of giving Huang Ling a surprise.

The system directly bought Huang Ling a 20-gram gold necklace for 280 yuan.

At this moment, he checked the system shelf and found that it had accumulated 9,600 yuan.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to buy another seven thousand dollars worth of gold.

The remaining 2,600 yuan should be enough for an emergency!

Five hundred grams, five gold bars, one 100 grams each, these gold bars are on the system shelf.

Their value will undoubtedly continue to rise over time.

He put the jewelry box containing Huang Ling into his pants pocket, then picked up his bags and headed home.

Along the way, the familiar street scenes gradually restored his long-lost sense of belonging.

Old Wu was leisurely walking into the alley with a fan in his hand when he saw Zhuang Chaoying and greeted her warmly: "Teacher Zhuang is back!"

"I'm back!" Zhuang Chaoying replied with a smile.

As Zhuang Chaoying walked into the alley, she heard Lin Dongzhe's loud voice. "Brother Tu Nan got in! He got into No. 1 High School!"

Congratulations, Teacher Zhuang!

Lin Dongzhe looked at Teacher Zhuang with excitement. "Uncle Zhuang, we're having meat today! To celebrate Tu Nan getting into the top high school!"

Huang Ling was smiling happily in the yard, but when she saw Zhuang Chaoying, her smile froze instantly, and then she collapsed. Her eyes were full of heartache as she looked Zhuang Chaoying up and down. "Chaoying, how come you've lost so much weight?"

Zhuang Chaoying put down what she was holding, gently patted Huang Ling's arm, and quickly tried to change the subject, not wanting Huang Ling to worry about her too much.

"Hurry up and buy some meat, they'll be sold out soon!"

Zhuang Chaoying packed her things, and Huang Ling returned with the meat she had bought.

She glanced at Chao Ying, then went into the kitchen with Song Ying and began busily preparing the meal.

Tu Nan and Xiao Ting went home to get some water.

"Dad, I got into the top high school!"

Zhuang Tunan stood before him, his posture upright, exuding youthful vigor.

Zhuang Chaoying looked at her son, who had grown much taller in a short time, and her well-behaved Xiaoting.

He opened his arms and lifted the two children up tightly. "They're heavy!"

He then kissed each of the two children on the cheek.

Zhuang Tunan wiped the drool off his face in disgust. "Dad, I'm all grown up now. This isn't good. People will laugh at me if they see this."

His cheeks flushed slightly, showing the shyness of a young man.
