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

The next morning, while Zhuang Chaoying was still asleep, she felt a heavy weight on her chest, as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her. Her breathing became rapid, and she was about to run out of breath.

He dreamt that he was performing a chest-breaking sledgehammer act, and under the watchful eyes of countless people below the stage, he watched as Ah Ling raised a large hammer high and then swiftly struck him in the chest.

The hammer, whistling through the air, was right in front of him in an instant, startling him so much that he quickly opened his eyes.

As his vision gradually cleared, he saw Ah Ling lying on his chest.

Zhuang Chaoying exclaimed, still shaken: "Ah! Ah Ling, you scared me to death!"

Huang Ling gently stroked Chao Ying's hair and whispered, "A little pat won't scare you! Chao Ying, I can't sleep."

Zhuang Chaoying groggily reached for her watch on the bedside table, glanced at it, and then said with a heavy sleepiness, "Ah Ling, it's only 6:30, let's sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy~~"

Huang Ling leaned half her body on Zhuang Chaoying, urging her coquettishly, "Get up, Chaoying! Get ready, that should be enough."

Zhuang Chaoying helplessly hugged Huang Ling, secretly exerted his abdominal muscles, and sat up on his own. Huang Ling lay in his arms, her big eyes open, quietly looking at him.

Seeing Ah Ling's state, Zhuang Chaoying leaned down and gently bit Ah Ling's cheek. Then she helped Ah Ling up and said as she got up, "Get up, I'll go buy breakfast!"

Huang Ling sat obediently watching Chao Ying, smiled as she wiped her face, and didn't forget to remind her, "Chao Ying, take the lunchbox and buy two bowls of tofu pudding. Song Ying loves it too!"

As Zhuang Chaoying put on her clothes and pants, she replied, "Okay, two bowls of tofu pudding, right?"

"Correct!"

Zhuang Chaoying was carrying two lunch boxes when she stepped out of the yard and saw Lin Wufeng also coming out.

Zhuang Chaoying greeted him warmly, "Engineer Lin, are you going to buy groceries?"

Lin Wufeng nodded: "Let's go grocery shopping together, Teacher Zhuang."

Zhuang Chaoying's eyes lit up: "Let's go together! You can give me a ride on your bike, I won't ride!"

So Lin Wufeng rode his bicycle with Zhuang Chaoying on the back.

"Put me down, Mr. Lin, I'm going to buy some fried dough sticks."

Afterwards, Zhuang Chaoying walked quickly towards the state-run restaurant, while Lin Wufeng went into the state-run store.

Zhuang Chaoying bought ten fried dough sticks and three bowls of tofu pudding at the restaurant, filling two lunchboxes to the brim, and paid 39 cents and a pound of grain coupons. Lin Wufeng, on the other hand, bought some lean meat and fresh rapeseed at the store.

After the two finished shopping, they met up, and Zhuang Chaoying got back on her bicycle.

"Mr. Lin, I'd like to trouble you to look after my two children."

"Teacher Zhuang, let's not be so polite between our two families. Since you're not home, Song Ying is making crispy pork today, so you won't be able to enjoy it."

Zhuang Chaoying laughed heartily: "Haha, we'll bring you some delicious food when we come back from Shanghai."

The two chatted and laughed all the way home.

When they reached the alley entrance, Zhuang Chaoying got out of the car and walked ahead.

Just then, Aunt Li, the neighbor, saw him and said, "Teacher Zhuang, you're going to buy breakfast? I heard you became a writer?"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said, "It's all luck; I've written two books." Li

Auntie waved her hand disapprovingly: "Teacher Zhuang, you should just admit that you are excellent. Why are you being so modest with us?"

"that is!"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled as she carried the fried dough sticks: "Sister Li, I have to go home now. Everyone's waiting for dinner. I can't chat anymore!"

Looking at Teacher Zhuang, Aunt Li couldn't help but say to the people next to her, "Look at Teacher Zhuang, he's so capable and knows how to take care of people. Why can't I find such a good man?"

Hearing this, the woman next door couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't you see? Huang Ling is getting younger and younger. With that kind of cuteness, no wonder Teacher Zhuang takes such good care of her."

Lin Wufeng listened to their conversation from behind and laughed along.

Lin Wufeng quickened his pace to catch up with Zhuang Chaoying: "Teacher Zhuang, you're a celebrity in our alley now!"

Zhuang Chaoying, who was walking ahead, stopped when she heard this: "What celebrity! It's just a person's name!"

"Haha! Teacher Zhuang, you're so funny!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked into their respective rooms.

As soon as Zhuang Chaoying entered the house, she called out, "Ah Ling, I'm back!"

Huang Ling had already tidied up the house perfectly, and the children were all up, waiting for their father to come home and serve dinner.

Huang Ling quickly took the fried dough stick from Zhuang Chaoying and put it on a plate.

Zhuang Chaoying continued, "I bought three bowls of tofu pudding. You can serve one bowl to Song Ying!"

Huang Ling responded, took a spoon, scooped out a bowl, and brought it to Song Ying.

After breakfast, Huang Ling began to instruct Xiao Ting and Tu Nan. "Tu Nan, you must keep a close eye on your little sister and make sure she doesn't run around, okay? You must listen to your Aunt Song and Uncle Lin!"

Tu Nan patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm already in junior high school. You can rest assured with me here."

Huang Ling turned around and began packing her luggage.

Zhuang Chaoying, watching from the side, couldn't help but say, "Ah Ling, we're only going for two days, you don't need to bring so much stuff. Just bring me some underwear and a shirt!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling took out some useless items that she had just put into her bag, muttering, "That's right, we'll go today and come back tomorrow. Bring your toothbrush, towel, and a small bar of soap!"

Zhuang Chaoying seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around: "Ah Ling, be sure to bring the letter of introduction, marriage certificate, and work ID. These are the most important things. Don't let people think that we're having an affair and get arrested again."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling was startled and hurriedly got up to get the marriage certificate: "Chao Ying, think again, is there anything else you need to bring!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Chaoying said, "That's all. Just take the money with you. Put the camera in your bag. I'll take a picture of you at the train station. You'll need a one-inch photo of me."

Huang Ling put on the blue dress and had Tu Nan hold up a mirror and twirl around in front of her. She originally wanted to wear the necklace that Chao Ying had bought for her, but it wasn't safe. If someone else snatched it away, it would be a loss.

Zhuang Chaoying was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of polyester trousers, sandals, and nylon socks.

When he first arrived here, he found this way of dressing extremely uncomfortable and felt very awkward.

But as time went by, he has long since gotten used to it, and now he even feels uncomfortable if he doesn't dress like this one day.

Carrying his luggage, he followed beside Ah Ling.

"Sister Ling, you can go without worry."

Lin Dongzhe tilted his little head up and said, "Uncle Zhuang, don't forget to bring us back some delicious food!"

"I will never forget."

Huang Ling gently patted Lin Dongzhe's head: "Okay, we're leaving!"

The two boarded a bus and swayed along the way, heading towards the train station.

Not long after, I got off the bus.
