Chapter 123 Nephew Staying with Me
Zhuang's mother introduced Zhuang Chaoying to one blind date after another.
With Huang Ling as a role model, Zhuang Chaoying's standards were not low. He would either complain about people being ugly, talking too much, not having a formal job, being uneducated, or having too many people in their family...
In the end, one is dissatisfied on the left and the other dislikes it on the right.
Zhuang's mother wanted to settle this matter while the two children were away and Zhuang Chaoying had some free time.
This time, someone introduced her to a female comrade from the tire factory.
Zhuang's mother hurried to find Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying was not idle. He participated in a textbook writing group of the Education Bureau and was currently writing textbooks.
He felt that if he did well this time, he would have the hope of being transferred to a high school to teach. Even if he was not transferred to a high school, he could get a position like deputy director of teaching in a school for children of employees.
He used to be very disdainful of this, but now he is starting to take it seriously.
Because I have been on so many blind dates, people will ask me, "Are you a teacher? Do you have any other job in school?"
He replied, "Class teacher."
Judging from the looks of others, it seems that it is not enough.
When Zhuang's mother entered the house and saw books piled everywhere, she wanted to help clean them up, but Zhuang Chaoying quickly stopped her.
"Mom, don't move. Everything I put here is useful. If you move, I'll have to find it again!"
"Oh, then I won't move. It's like this. Someone introduced me to a girl from the tire factory. I'll bring her over tomorrow to meet her. She's the right age and looks."
"And then what?" Zhuang Chaoying raised his head from the pile of books. He was used to listening to the good things first and then the bad things.
"I don't have a house, but I'm a regular employee! I gave the child to the man, so there's no burden."
"Okay, let's meet." Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
Just as Zhuang's mother was about to leave, she saw someone coming to look for Zhuang Chaoying.
She is a female comrade, not short, strong and with a rosy complexion.
Behind him followed a child of about the same age as Tuanan, who was also chubby and strong, and it was obvious that they were mother and son.
"Teacher Zhuang, sorry to bother you." Zhu Xiuyu said politely.
"Hongbin, Hongbin's mother, why are you here? Please come in." Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly welcomed them into the house.
"Look, Hongbin is taking tutoring classes with you. He made great progress in the final exam. I wanted to bring him here to thank you." Zhu Xiu Yu put a bag of gifts on the table.
"Oh, how embarrassing! I'm already...how can I accept a gift?"
"Of course. This must be my aunt," Zhu Xiu Yu saw Zhuang's mother in the room.
"Yes, this is my mother."
"Hello, auntie."
"Hello, come and sit down." Zhuang's mother smiled when she saw the gift.
Hong Bin walked forward again and put a lunch box on the table:
"Teacher Zhuang, these are the buns my mother made. Try them."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"I happened to have some buns at home, and Hongbin said you were home alone, so I brought some for you to try."
"Hongbin is such a good boy, always thinking about me." Zhuang Chaoying was very touched.
Mrs. Zhuang wanted to pour water for the two of them, but Zhu Xiuyu quickly refused: "No, Auntie, I know Teacher Zhuang is very busy, so we will go back first."
After saying that, he led Zhao Hongbin out.
Zhuang Chaoying politely saw them off. When he came back, his mother asked him:
"Chaoying, did you charge for tutoring?"
"Very little, just a few dollars per student per semester to subsidize water and electricity bills." Zhuang Chaoying rolled his eyes at his mother.
"Not bad, not bad. It's good to have money. If you accept more students, you will have more money!" Zhuang's mother smiled happily.
"You want me to join you in the fight against beauty by charging more? Don't make it public! This is also speculation!" Zhuang Chaoying said heavily.
Mother Zhuang thought about it and nodded, "I understand. I won't say anything nonsense."
"Mom, you should go back! I still have to write teaching materials, which also come with subsidies. After I finish them, I may be promoted and transferred to another school. It's very important. I want to write more while the two children are away. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
"Okay, I got it. The person you're going to have a blind date with is coming tomorrow, so remember to clean up the house." Zhuang's mother said softly.
"Okay, I got it." Zhuang Chaoying sat back behind the book and buried his head in his work.
He was busy until late at night. He got up the next day, tidied up casually, and continued working until the blind date came.
Three people came: Zhuang's mother, the matchmaker, and the blind date Li Juan.
As soon as Li Juan entered the courtyard, she asked, "Is this house rented?"
Zhuang's mother replied, "Yes, we rented it, but we're already waiting in line at the factory for housing. Our Chaoying is highly regarded by the school, so we'll get one soon."
"That's fine too!"
After entering the house, Li Juan saw that it was quite clean and the people there were nice, honest and well-educated.
However, Li Juan soon discovered another problem and asked: "Why are there three beds? Didn't they say they only have a son who is in junior high school?"
"Oh, and my nephew." Zhuang Chaoying answered honestly. He felt that this was an important issue and must be made clear at the beginning.
"Ah!" Li Juan was quite surprised.
"Stay here, stay here!" Zhuang's mother explained hurriedly.
"How long will you be staying here?" Li Juan asked again.
"After work!" Zhuang Chaoying answered honestly again.
"How old are you now?"
"primary school."
Li Juan stood up and left.
Zhuang's mother quickly grabbed her and said, "This is what happened. The child's mother also went to the countryside. She got a formal job there and couldn't return to the city, so she gave her quota for returning to the city to the child. She sends money every month!"
Li Juan shook her head. "Aunt, this isn't a question of money! Even if you raise the child well, he might not thank you. Not to mention if you don't raise him well, being a stepmother is already very difficult, let alone having two nephews living here permanently."
"No, the child is very good and obedient. Wait until they come back and you can meet him." Zhuang's mother said anxiously.
Li Juan was an educated youth who returned to the city. She was married and had children in the countryside, but divorced in order to come back. After she came back, her family spent money to buy her a formal job with good conditions in all aspects, and Zhuang's mother didn't want to miss it.
"Anyway, they are all boys. I am a woman and there are three men. That is so inconvenient! Aunt, it really is not possible." Li Juan waved her hands quickly.
People like her are so clear-headed that it is impossible for her to get herself into trouble.
So, Li Juan didn't hesitate and walked out of the yard quickly.
Zhuang's mother was still not giving up and followed him out.
"Comrade Li! Wait a minute!"
"Auntie, really..."
The matchmaker followed her to the courtyard gate and pulled Li Juan aside and asked:
"Xiao Li, let me ask you a truthful question. Do you like this person?"
"He's okay." Li Juan nodded.
"Then would you agree if I bring a son?"
"Well, I can consider it." Li Juan nodded.
"Then I'll go and talk to them and ask them to send their nephew away, isn't that all? Teacher Zhuang, you're such a nice person! If you don't agree, many girls will ask about it!" The matchmaker suggested.
Li Juan seemed a little moved.
"Then you go back first. I'll talk to his mother and tell you when I have definite news."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
The matchmaker took Zhuang's mother outside the yard and talked for a long time.
The two of them didn't know that Zhu Xiu Yu, carrying a lunch box, had been standing behind the tree and listening for a long time.
