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

Seeing this, Huang Ling quickly looked at Chao Ying, signaling him not to make a hasty statement.

Then she said to Yiming, "Yiming, your mother hopes you can go to the cotton mill; it's a stable place."

Yiming quickly explained, "I asked around, and it's possible to set up a stall while waiting in line for a chance to enter the cotton mill, so it won't interfere with either."

Xiangyang, who had been keeping his head down and silently fiddling with the can of oranges in his hands, couldn't help but chime in, "Yiming can still get in line, but we educated youth really have no choice!"

Lin Wufeng was very surprised to hear this: "Suzhou's policies are very lenient, how can there be no way?"

Xiang Yang looked up and smiled wryly, "You need a receiving unit. You can only come back if you have a receiving unit."

Lin Wufeng pondered for a moment: "Our team needs temporary workers. The requirements are high school graduates and under 28 years old. If you're interested, I'll get you two mechanical engineering books. Take a good look at them and come for an interview on the tenth of the month!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yiming's eyes, and he quickly asked, "Thank you, Engineer Lin. Can I be offered a permanent position?"

"I'll ask for you when I get to work!"

"Thank you, Engineer Lin!"

After seeing Yiming and the others off, the room returned to calm, and the group sat around inside.

Song Ying rested her chin on her hand, frowning slightly as she pondered. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Teacher Zhuang, isn't your sister also an educated youth? I heard that Wang Fang next door is going through a divorce with her Shanghai educated youth husband, and they're planning to remarry when she comes back! Can't your sister do that?"

Zhuang Chaoying sighed helplessly after hearing this: "My sister Hualin is too strong-willed. After going to Guizhou Province, she finally got into a nursing school and was assigned to the town's health clinic. She values ​​her career very much, and even if she gets divorced, she won't come back because of her assigned job."

Lin Wufeng sat to the side, shook his head thoughtfully, and then said that classic line: "First, fate; second, luck; third, feng shui; fourth, accumulating merit; fifth, studying. Studying comes after fate!"

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the room fell silent for a moment.

,,,,,,,,,

After the New Year, with Lin Wufeng's introduction, Xiangyang successfully started working at the compressor factory.

Time flows by, spring arrives quietly, the weather gradually warms up, and the earth awakens from its slumber.

Wang Yong's sister from next door ran back from Xinjiang, bringing her daughter Zhou Qing with her.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Chaoying is writing another children's storybook in the world of children's story creation.

The Powerpuff Girls (This was a cartoon the author loved watching when he was a kid, hehe!)

Speaking of his previous work, "The Magic Cards of a Hundred Transformations," the first volume has been successfully published. The book is divided into three volumes, totaling 670,000 words.

The payment for the first volume also increased from five yuan per thousand words to six yuan per thousand words. With a length of 220,000 words, the total payment was 1,320 yuan.

When Huang Ling learned that Chao Ying had received another payment for his writing, she immediately took him to the post office to cash the money.

After completing the relevant procedures at the post office.

I also mailed out the manuscript for the second volume of "The Magic Card Game".

Back home, after closing the door, Huang Ling eagerly took out all the money from her pocket, found the familiar tin box, and quickly put away the royalties.

This iron box is their family's important "treasury," containing all their hard-earned possessions.

Zhuang Chaoying looked at A-Ling. "A-Ling, I'm a man, I don't have a penny to my name, I can't buy you anything!"

The money he had couldn't be made public, so he had no choice but to ask Ah Ling for it!

Huang Ling carefully counted the money, hesitated for a moment, then took out five yuan and handed it to Chao Ying: "Here, five yuan should be enough!"

Zhuang Chaoying looked at the five yuan note and rubbed her hands together somewhat embarrassedly: "Give me another one, five yuan is too little!"

Huang Ling rolled her eyes at him, but finally took out another five-yuan note. "Ten yuan."

Then I closed the box and put it back in the closet.

Life continued as usual, with people going to work and going to school as usual.

Zhuang Chaoying's wrists ached from writing lesson plans.

I put down my pen, stood up and stretched my limbs. My eyes inadvertently fell on the calendar hanging on the wall. To my surprise, today was the 25th!

A thought flashed through Zhuang Chaoying's mind: the 25th, tomorrow is Xiaoting's birthday!

He suddenly remembered the date when he was looking at the calendar in the office. He didn't expect time to fly by so fast. Tomorrow is Xiaoting's birthday.

As the get off work bell rang, Zhuang Chaoying walked briskly home.

When he arrived at a deserted, secluded corner, he first looked around cautiously to make sure no one was around before quietly opening the system store.

He bought seven cream cake rolls and six pork ribs at the mall.

Zhuang Chaoying thought to herself, "I wish I could buy things freely without tickets, so I wouldn't have to secretly trade in the system's shop every time."

After buying the items, I carried the cake and ribs and strode home.

I bumped into an acquaintance on the street and greeted her warmly. "Teacher Zhuang, you're off work? You bought some ribs!"

Zhuang Chaoying replied with a smile, "Yes, I buy some when the kids want to eat it! They don't eat it often!"

As I walked into the yard, I saw Song Ying and Huang Ling picking snake gourds.

One person cuts, and the other catches!

Zhuang Chaoying's stomach churned at the sight of snake gourd; she had been eating far too much of it lately and was now quite sick of it.

"Ah Ling, I bought some pork ribs. Let's cook them for dinner tonight!"

Huang Ling handed the snake gourd to Song Ying and took the spare ribs from her: "Why did Chao Ying buy so many spare ribs?"

"You forgot, tomorrow is Xiaoting's birthday. A child's birthday is a mother's day of suffering. Thank you, Ling, for giving me such a lovely Xiaoting! Oh, and there's a cake too, one for each of us, and Dongzhe too!"

Upon hearing that he would get a share, Lin Dongzhe immediately crowded around, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "Uncle Zhuang, do I get a share too?"

Zhuang Chaoying pinched his chubby cheeks and answered confidently, "Yes!"

Lin Dongzhe immediately smiled broadly and exclaimed, "Uncle Zhuang, you're so loyal! Thank you!"

This kid thinks he's being loyal if you give him something to eat, but if you don't give him anything, he probably sees him as a selfish and treacherous person.

Song Ying overheard their conversation and then came to her senses. She quickly said to Huang Ling, "Sister Ling, wait for me! I'm going to buy some meat too. Let's all have a good meal together today! To celebrate Xiao Ting's birthday!" After saying that, she went back into the house to get the meat ration coupons and then hurriedly turned and left.

An hour later, two tables were neatly arranged in the yard.

The children sat at one table, and the adults at another.

Zhuang Chaoying raised his glass high: "Let's celebrate Xiaoting's birthday in advance today. Dad wishes you a happy birthday."

Each of the three children had a bottle of orange juice in front of them. Led by Zhuang Chaoying, everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison, "Happy Birthday, Xiaoting!"

Xiaoting's face beamed with a happy smile, and she responded shyly yet with immense gratitude, "Thank you, thank you!"

Then, Xiaoting stood up, walked to Huang Ling's side, and hugged her tightly: "Mom, thank you for giving birth to me, you've worked so hard!"

Huang Ling gently hugged her daughter, swaying her body softly, full of doting affection: "Mom is so happy to have Xiaoting! Okay, everyone, let's eat!"

After dinner, the children consciously gathered together to do their homework.

Zhuang Chaoying then turned around and took out the cake rolls she had prepared beforehand, announcing with a smile, "One for each of you."

The three children excitedly each took one, and Zhuang Chaoying took another one and handed it to Huang Ling: "I don't want to eat it, save it for the children!"

"Ah Ling, eat up. The children will have plenty of opportunities to eat in the future. Every bite we eat is one less we can have. I'm feeding you in front of the children!"

Huang Ling couldn't refuse Chao Ying's request, so she took the cake and took a small bite. The sweet taste spread on her tongue, but at that moment her heart was even sweeter than the cake.

After devouring the cake, Lin Dongzhe licked his fingers with a lingering satisfaction, then turned to Xiaoting and said, "Xiaoting, can I borrow your homework to take a look?"

Xiaoting immediately pouted and demanded in a serious tone, "Go wash your hands! Remember to use soap!"

Lin Dongzhe obediently got up and went to wash his hands. After washing, he specially ran back, stretched his hands out in front of Xiaoting, and said, "Xiaoting, smell it, I used soap!"

Zhuang Chaoying added, "Xiaoting, Lin Dongzhe even brushes his teeth half-heartedly, just by wetting them with water!"

Lin Dongzhe stared wide-eyed at Uncle Zhuang. "Uncle Zhuang, you're so disloyal! How could you betray me like that!"

Xiaoting stood with her hands on her hips. "Lin Dongzhe, you not only fooled me, but you also fooled Aunt Song and Uncle Lin! I'm going to tell them!"

Lin Dongzhe quickly pulled Xiaoting back. "Xiaoting, I was wrong. I promise I'll brush my teeth properly from now on. Don't tell my parents! They'll beat me!"

Xiaoting pouted. "Lin Dongzhe, you'd better brush your teeth and wash your hands properly!"

Lin Dongzhe nodded frantically!
