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

After finishing her lunch, Zhuang Chaoying washed her lunchbox and returned to her office.

He looked at the unfinished lesson plan on his desk, sighed, and wondered when this grueling task of writing lesson plans every day would ever end.

As for why he didn't take a lunch break, it was because he really didn't want to go home and write lesson plans, and his other novel was still in the crucial stage of creation.

There's no extra time to go home and continue working overtime writing lesson plans!

I was just about to pick up my pen to write a lesson plan.

"Teacher Zhuang! The principal asked me to inform everyone about the impromptu meeting at 12:30 PM!"

Zhuang Chaoying turned around, saw Teacher Liu, and nodded with a smile. "I understand, thank you, Teacher Liu."

I put the pen on the lap, closed the lesson plan notebook, glanced at my watch—it was already 12:20—and, carrying the notebook and pen, got up and headed to the meeting room!

When he entered the conference room, he found it packed with people.

Everyone was whispering and speculating about the topic of this impromptu meeting.

Teacher Liu waved her hand. "Teacher Zhuang, there's an empty seat here, come over!"

Zhuang Chaoying waved to Teacher Liu, strode over, and sat down next to Teacher Liu.

The principal began his speech.

"The reason I called everyone here today is the same thing as last time. The Dean of Students has retired, so this position is now vacant. We have now decided to hold a meeting after a secret ballot by all the teachers and a collective discussion by the school leadership."

"It has been decided that Ms. Zhuang Chaoying will serve as the Dean of Students. Let's give her a round of applause!"

Zhuang Chaoying had originally planned to take a nap during the meeting, thinking that no one would notice him sitting in the back, but this news instantly woke him up.

I thought today was just a regular meeting, but it turns out the principal had talked to him a while ago to ask his opinion on the position of dean of students, and he accepted the position so quickly!

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhuang, on becoming the Dean of Students!"

Zhuang Chaoying was suddenly pushed up by Teacher Liu, quickly straightened her shirt, and nodded to everyone.

The principal beckoned Zhuang Chaoying over. "Teacher Zhuang, please say a few words to the teachers!"

Applause erupted from below! "Clap clap clap clap!"

Zhuang Chaoying stepped forward, cleared her throat, and said, "Good morning, Principal and teachers. First of all, I would like to thank the school and the school leadership for their cultivation, and most importantly, I would like to thank the organization for its trust. Since I have been chosen as the Dean of Studies, I will work even harder to do this job well and work with all the teachers to educate more outstanding students..."

Another round of applause!

"Alright, Director Zhuang's speech was excellent. That concludes today's meeting. Meeting adjourned. Teachers, please return to your classrooms!"

"Teacher Zhuang, come to my office. I'll assign you a task!"

Zhuang Chaoying followed the principal to the office.

"Teacher Zhuang, this is a great opportunity. Although the responsibility is a bit heavy, it will be a good experience for you. I have some good news for you: you've received a half-grade raise, and now you'll be earning fifty-one yuan. However, there's also an arrangement: you won't be teaching the graduating class of Grade 11 anymore; you'll be teaching Grade 11 instead, while also overseeing the school's educational and teaching work."

As you know, first-year high school students have just transitioned from middle school, and this is a crucial time when they need proper guidance to build a solid foundation. The school believes you can lead them well.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying had no choice but to quickly express her opinion. "Principal, I know this is your trust in me, an honor as well as a challenge. I will definitely do my best to fulfill the new work arrangements and live up to the school's expectations."

Zhuang Chaoying carried her briefcase, humming "Little Apple," as she walked home.

As soon as he entered the house, he exclaimed, "Ah Ling! Ah Ling! I'm home!"

Huang Ling was sitting on a chair picking vegetables when she heard the noise. She looked up and said, "Keep your voice down, Tu Nan and Xiao Ting are doing their homework!"

Zhuang Chaoying glanced at the two children diligently doing their homework inside the room and placed her briefcase on the desk.

He turned around, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Ah Ling, starting to help pick the vegetables. "Ah Ling, I have good news for you!"

"What good news?"

"I'm the Dean of Students! I got a half-grade raise! The downside is that now I not only have to oversee teaching and learning but also manage the classes!" Huang Ling's eyes widened instantly upon hearing that Chao Ying had become the Dean of Students. She was about to cheer loudly when she suddenly realized the children were studying and quickly covered her mouth. "How much is Chao Ying's half-grade raise?"

"Fifty-one yuan!"

Huang Ling nodded. "Chao Ying, isn't this too tiring?"

"If the leader arranges it, I can't refuse. Besides, it's an extra half grade of salary every month, which can buy a lot of meat."

After picking the vegetables, Huang Ling stood up. "I'm making vegetable and shredded pork noodles today!"

"Ah Ling, put in more meat. If we run out, I'll find a way to buy more. Don't be stingy!"

Huang Ling walked into the kitchen with a smile. Life is getting better and better. Chao Ying has also received a raise. Even if you can't buy meat in the state-run store, you can buy it on the black market.

I just wonder when buying meat will no longer be restricted and ration coupons will no longer be needed; that would be much more convenient.

Zhuang Chaoying stood behind Xiaoting and Tunan: "Xiaoting, why didn't we see Dongzhe come today?"

Xiaoting turned around and blinked: "Dad, Aunt Song and Uncle Lin were called to school by the teacher."

Zhuang Chaoying nodded thoughtfully. "Is there anything either of you doesn't know?"

Tu Nan: "Dad, no, I don't think it's difficult at all!"

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Tu Nan's serious expression and touched his hair. "Tu Nan, your hair is a bit long. I'll cut it for you on Sunday!"

"Dad! Xiaoting and I need to do our homework, don't chat with us!"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you two write it down. Dinner will be ready in a bit."

Zhuang Chaoying walked through the kitchen and came to the toilet in the backyard.

After using the toilet, I turned on the tap, washed my hands, and vigorously shook them into the sink.

"Superhero's food is ready! Tell the kids to set the table and eat!"

"Xiaoting, Tunan, did you hear that? Mom said dinner is ready. One person sets the table and the other gets the bowls and chopsticks!"

The children responded in unison, "Yes!"

The weather is getting cooler, so I didn't eat in the yard today.

Tu Nan set up the table in the middle of the room, and Huang Ling came in carrying a steaming bowl of noodles, muttering, "Hot!"

Xiaoting reacted quickly and grabbed two newspapers to place underneath.

Huang Ling quickly touched her earlobe, and then began to divide the noodles.

The noodles were evenly distributed into four large bowls, the steaming noodles emitting a fragrant aroma.

After dinner, Zhuang Chaoying returned to her desk and continued writing her novel, "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store".

The opening section has already been written.

Huang Ling was folding clothes on the side, neatly stacking the washed and dried clothes.

Suddenly, a commotion came from next door.

Lin Wufeng, his face dark, held a stack of homework books in his hand and angrily scolded Lin Dongzhe: "What is this! If your mother and I hadn't gone to school today, I wouldn't have known that you'd been copying Tu Nan's homework all this time!"

Song Ying followed closely behind, holding a rattan beater she usually used to dust off her clothes. She handed it to Lin Wufeng and said, "You can copy all you want, but you even copied my essay, and you call that my dad?! Is Teacher Zhuang your dad?"

Zhuang Chaoying was taken aback when she heard the cursing from next door, but then she couldn't help but smile.

Thinking to himself, although he wasn't Dongzhe's father yet, he figured he would be in the future if things continued this way. After all, a father-in-law is a father too. Thinking about it that way, the child's mistake didn't seem so serious.

Hahaha!

Huang Ling walked over curiously and asked Tu Nan in a low voice, "Tu Nan, has Dong Zhe been copying your homework?"

Tu Nan nodded obediently, her face filled with worry: "Mom, I hope Dong Zhe wasn't beaten badly by his parents!"

At this moment, Lin Wufeng from next door took the rattan paddle, raised it high, and mercilessly smacked Lin Dongzhe on the buttocks.

Lin Dongzhe's mouth dropped open. He burst into tears, crying, "Ah! Waaah! Waaah!"

"You copied it, fine, but how dare you submit your essay along with Xiaoting's? What were you thinking?!"

Song Ying sat in the chair, panting with anger: "Do you know that today, when my father and I were in your teacher's office, the teacher kept laughing?"

Those who know you plagiarized your essays might think I remarried you and changed your surname!

Lin Wufeng roared as he waved his racket, "Can't you study properly? If not, go back to your hometown and raise pigs!"

When Lin Dongzhe heard that his father was going to send him back to his hometown to feed pigs, he cried even harder: "The teacher said that we can write whatever we want, but I don't know how to write. The teacher said to write an essay, and I want to ask you both, but you two completely ignore me. Mom is watching TV, and Dad is sleeping! Teacher Zhuang is even tutoring Xiaoting and Tunan! I'm doing my homework and writing an essay, and you don't care about me at all!"
