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

His original intention was simply that he felt Shanshan had a good talent for learning, even more so than Tu Nan in the original drama.

Getting into university will definitely lead to a completely different life.

I just wanted to kindly remind Lao Wu.

It's such a pity that this little girl has been ruined by this family. No matter what she becomes when she grows up, she was truly pitiful when she was young.

Zhuang Chaoying then smiled and urged everyone, "Eat, eat!"

Old Wu glanced at Zhang Amei, then looked at Shanshan out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, Huang Ling cleverly changed the subject: "Didn't the news say that we're welcome to the 1980s?"

Everyone laughed.

Song Ying picked up her steamed bun: "I just hope that in the 1980s, we won't have to eat snake gourd anymore, and that eating more meat would be the best." Several children nearby nodded frantically upon hearing this, completely agreeing with Aunt Song's words.

After the meal, Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng naturally got up and neatly cleared the table, cleaning up the leftover food.

The two of them stood by a sink, silently washing the dishes.

Then, carrying the washbasin, he walked towards the backyard.

The summer night was stiflingly hot, like a sauna, with not a breath of wind.

In this weather, if you don't take a shower at night, you'll feel sticky all over and probably won't be able to sleep soundly.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Zhuang Chaoying put down the basin, picked up the soap, and carefully washed her entire body.

Short hair is great; it dries in no time with just a quick towel wipe.

After washing up and brushing my teeth, I returned to my room.

Zhuang Chaoying said to Huang Ling, who was tidying up her clothes, "Ah Ling, go wash up."

Just then, Tu Nan ran back, his forehead covered in sweat, his clothes soaked through. "Dad, are there any more steamed buns? I'm hungry!"

Zhuang Chaoying glanced at her son: "Yes, there are a few more in the kitchen. Heat them up and eat them yourself."

He paused, then added, "Oh, by the way, your mom's taking a shower in the backyard. You should shower too after she's done; you're all sweaty!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Tu Nan responded and ran towards the kitchen.

After a while, Huang Ling walked in from the backyard, her hair wet and draped over her shoulders.

Zhuang Chaoying quickly gestured for her to sit down, then cleared her throat: "Ah Ling, Mom came to the school to see me today. She said Hua Lin's son, Pengfei, is coming back for summer vacation and will be visiting our house!"

Huang Ling raised her head slightly and looked at Zhuang Chaoying. "I know, come on over. The family isn't short of money now. Hualin isn't having an easy time in your province either. You're the eldest uncle, so you should help out as much as you can."

Zhuang Chaoying nodded.

Huang Ling is truly a kind and understanding woman.

Ah Ling controls the family finances, and her willingness to agree so readily is not only due to her kind heart, but also because she has enough confidence and assurance.

"Ah Ling, Mom said to go pick up Pengfei on Sunday."

Huang Ling stopped drying her hair.

Zhuang Chaoying reacted quickly, taking the towel and gently drying her hair.

Huang Ling closed her eyes slightly, leaned against Zhuang Chaoying, and said softly, "Chaoying, to be honest, I didn't want to make things difficult for you, and Hualin is also pitiful. He gave up so much to give up a job opportunity in Meizhou, and went to your province to work in the countryside alone."

Let's go pick up Pengfei together on Sunday!

Zhuang Chaoying felt a warmth in her heart and held Huang Ling's hand tightly. "Ling, thank you for understanding. In that family, Hualin was the one I felt most sorry for. Don't worry, Pengfei is here now. From now on, as long as I'm home, I'll take care of all the housework. I can't let you work too hard alone."

Huang Ling smiled faintly, then gently patted his thigh. "You have to write lesson plans and books, and the family's savings mainly come from royalties. Just focus on earning more money; you don't need to worry about housework, I'll take care of it."

Zhuang Chaoying continued to carefully wipe Huang Ling's hair until it was half-dry before taking their towels to wash it clean.

Wring out the towel and hang it on a rope inside the house.

、、、、、、、、

Sunday.

Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling were preparing to go out to their grandparents' house to pick up Pengfei.

Huang Ling instructed the children, "Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, Dong Zhe, your Aunt Song is home, so stay home and behave yourself. It's too hot outside."

Xiaoting obediently replied, "Okay, Mom. You and Dad go quickly."

Song Ying leaned against the door frame: "Sister Ling, you're still worried about me at home?"

Huang Ling smiled and nodded, then set off with Zhuang Chaoying.

Halfway there, Huang Ling specifically asked, "Chaoying, it wouldn't be good if the neighbors saw us going there empty-handed."

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Chaoying said, "Let's buy a few apples, just pick the small ones."

The two of them then squeezed onto the bus, carrying half a net bag of small apples.

The bus was stuffy and crowded. By the time Huang Ling and her companion got off, their hair was sweating and oily, and the stray hairs in front of them were in clumps.

Zhuang Chaoying turned around and looked at Huang Ling's appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Huang Ling looked around and said, "Zhuang Chaoying, there are people all here. What are you laughing at all? It's so embarrassing!"

"Ah Ling, let me wipe it for you." Zhuang Chaoying took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped Ah Ling's head. "Okay, let's go!"

"Ah Ling, when we get back, I'll take care of everything."

Huang Ling walked beside Zhuang Chaoying with a smile. "I know, I feel at ease with you here."

The two entered the house, and Zhuang Chaoying said, "Mom and Dad, we're back! A-Ling bought you apples!"

Hearing his older brother's voice, Hualin quickly pulled his son out. "Brother, Pengfei, this is your uncle and aunt."

Pengfei greeted them politely: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt!"

Zhuang Chaoying responded with a smile, then asked Hua Lin, "When did Hua Lin come back?"

Hua Lin held her son's hand and said, "I've been back for three days. Today, Pengfei is going back with you, and I'm going back to your province too."

At this moment, Zhuang's father and mother also came out.

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and took the apple from Ah Ling's hand: "Ah Ling, this is the second time you've met Hua Lin, but it's the first time Peng Fei has met his uncle and aunt!"

Zhuang Chaoying nodded, took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to Hualin: "Hualin, take Pengfei to buy a watermelon. It's too hot today. I have something to tell Mom!"

Hua Lin quickly declined, saying, "Brother, I have money. I'll take Pengfei to buy watermelons right now."

"I'm your older brother, just take it if I tell you to, what are you talking about!"

Hua Lin had no choice but to accept the one yuan and lead Peng Fei out.

Zhuangzi's father sat in a chair.

Zhuang's mother then led Chao Ying and Huang Ling into the house to talk, afraid that the neighbors would hear them begging their son for favors and that they would lose face.

Mrs. Zhuang held a fan and fanned Huang Ling, who was sitting next to her, and Chao Ying, who was standing: "Ah Ling, Hua Lin only has this one son. He is studying in a rural area of ​​your province. You should know what the conditions are like in the countryside. They are not as good as those here. This holiday is a good time for Chao Ying to tutor him. You don't mind, Ah Ling."

Huang Ling smiled and said, "Mom, I don't mind. Chao Ying only has one younger sister. He's the older brother, and I have no objection to his sister who suffers hardships for him."

Mrs. Zhuang immediately laughed: "I knew it. Our eldest son and his wife are both very sensible."

Outside, Zhuang's father chimed in, "That's right, Chaoying, A-Ling, you're the eldest, so you should help your younger siblings!"

Huang Ling paused for a moment: "Chao Ying told me about Pengfei. I have no objection to him coming here for the summer vacation, but Tu Nan is growing now, and Xiao Ting can't go hungry. Our food rations aren't enough. If Pengfei wants to come to my house, he'll have to pay for his rations. Mom, you understand what I mean!"

Zhuang Chaoying added, "Simply put, we have no money!"
