Chapter 132 I'm Willing to Serve You
"Sister Zhu, don't mind her. She is just like that! She is like a child. She wants to play with us and be the leader of the kids. She has no intention of targeting you. She is targeting me." Huang Ling looked at Zhu Xiu Yu.
"Oh, it's okay. We are an orphan and a widow, and we have encountered people like this many times." Zhu Xiu Yu smiled bitterly.
This was the truth, but what she didn't expect was that she usually did it secretly, but Huang Ling did it openly.
It feels great.
The three of them were cooking. Zhou Huaiyi and Lin Wufeng took turns visiting the kitchen. Zhu Xiuyu was looking forward to Zhuang Chaoying's arrival, but she didn't see him.
The whole table was filled with food, and it was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
Li Yiming, who had gone to set up a stall, came back and brought a gift for each of the two children.
The one given to Dongzhe was a rubber band pistol, and the one given to Xiaoting was a rabbit-shaped tumbler piggy bank.
Following Huang Ling around to discuss business, he has become more flexible and more knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
"After the Chinese New Year, we can find some time to get together for a meal. It will be so lively!" Song Ying was the happiest.
Everyone praised it.
Lin Dongzhe held up the soda bottle, and didn't remember a single word of the thank-you speech he had prepared. Finally, he said:
"When I get into No. 1 Middle School, I'll ask my mom to treat everyone to a meal! I'll sell a few more toothpaste tubes and treat everyone to soda!"
Everyone was waiting for his long speech, but they didn't expect that to happen. Just as they were about to laugh, Zhou Huaiyi and Lin Wufeng provided sufficient emotional value, and they applauded and cheered.
Every time Zhang A-mei wanted to speak, Song Ying would interrupt her by picking up some food for her.
Everyone was also very friendly to Zhu Xiuyu and Zhao Hongbin.
The children can all play together. Zhao Hongbin has a good personality and is more cheerful than Tuanan.
After dinner, Lin Wufeng and Zhou Huaiyi discussed the renovation of the bathroom.
The original toilet was too small and could not be divided, so a family of five had to queue up to take a shower at night.
Lin Wufeng thought about building a small bathroom next to the toilet.
Zhuang Chaoying was a little at a loss.
Help, it doesn't seem to be his business.
If I don't help, it doesn't seem right to just watch from the sidelines.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiuyu pushed him lightly at this time:
"Teacher Zhuang, go and help! Don't worry about us, I'll help clean up. We can leave after we're done. It's not good to just eat and leave."
Encouraged by her, Zhuang Chaoying stepped forward and began to think that this woman was sensible.
There are three people, two of them hold the tape measure, and one person takes notes, and try to plan out a larger location.
"I bought materials for building a house there. They have everything. Let's use them first."
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the place where the painting would be done. It was only that big at most and would not require many bricks, so he made a suggestion.
"That won't work! It will be troublesome if you run out of materials when you start building your house." Lin Wufeng disagreed.
"We've already prepared extra materials, so there will definitely be enough to repair the bathroom." Zhou Huaiyi didn't care.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it," Lin Wufeng patted his shoulder. "I've already asked for the details. I just need to wait for the measurements to be made before I can get the bricks."
"Where's the cement?"
"We've got the cement, too."
"Mr. Lin, please tell me when the repairs are done and I'll come and help you. That should be fine, right?"
"That's great. I definitely can't do it alone." Lin Wufeng nodded.
Zhou Huaiyi went to wash his hands. Zhuang Chaoying asked Lin Wufeng, "Director Zhou wants to repair the house!"
Lin Wufeng didn't know what to say, so he replied, "We're adding another room because we're worried it might not be enough in the future."
"Add one more room" Zhuang Chaoying certainly didn't know the situation of the Zhou family.
Lin Wufeng gave a brief introduction, but every word he said surprised Zhuang Chaoying.
It's unimaginable that each person has a room, and they actually have extra rooms.
"He is a soldier. Many of his comrades will stay with him for a while, so it's normal to have an extra room. We don't have money to buy materials, so we don't have a place to repair it, right? They are different from the locals." Lin Wufeng helped explain.
Zhuang Chaoying said in a low voice, "That's true."
Speaking of houses, Lin Wufeng asked Zhuang Chaoying: "Teacher Zhuang, how is the queue for your house going?"
Zhuang Chaoying lowered his head and pushed up his glasses, answering, "It's not that easy. Tunan and I might not even get a share of the big one."
"Oh, don't worry, it's pretty good living there now."
"Yes, that's right."
When Zhou Huaiyi came back, the two ended the topic.
When leaving, Song Ying gave Zhu Xiu Yu two ribs.
"Sister Zhu, thank you for your hard work today. Hongbin said he likes to eat spare ribs. We happen to have some at home, so I'll give you two."
"Oh, no, no, how can I eat and take it at the same time?" Zhu Xiu Yu quickly refused.
Zhu Xiu Yu knew that Huang Ling must have asked Song Ying to take it, meaning that she should repay the favor now and have less contact with her in the future.
Song Ying stuffed the ribs into Zhuang Chaoying's hands and said, "Teacher Zhuang, hold it for Sister Zhu."
Zhuang Chaoying probably understood what Huang Ling meant, so he accepted the call.
The three children walked in front with their arms around each other's shoulders, and they seemed to be getting along pretty well.
Because Zhao Hongbin often came to Zhuang Chaoying for tutoring on weekdays, he was familiar with Tuanan and Pengfei.
Zhuang Chaoying and Zhu Xiuyu walked behind the three children.
"Now I understand why Teacher Zhuang looks down on me..."
Zhuang Chaoying was startled: "She made things difficult for you"
"No, I just think Huang Ling is beautiful and smart, and she's a world apart from me..."
Zhuang Chaoying didn't know how to answer this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Everyone is different."
"But she is the kind of woman who needs a man to pamper and serve her. I am different. I can serve you and I am willing to serve you." Zhu Xiu Yu said affectionately.
Zhuang Chaoying knew that she followed him here today just to force him to admit their relationship in front of everyone, and she might also want to meet Huang Ling.
He was unwilling at first, but Zhu Xiuyu looked at him so pitifully that he couldn't bear to refuse.
Zhou Huaiyi would definitely go, so Zhuang Chaoying actually had a selfish motive. He wanted to let Huang Ling see that he would not be unable to find a woman without her.
Whether it is good or not is another matter, but it can be found anyway.
Today in front of everyone, although no one asked about it, everyone has already tacitly accepted the relationship between the two.
Moreover, neither Zhu Xiuyu nor Zhao Hongbin embarrassed him today and were very well-behaved and sensible.
Everyone also kept praising Zhu Xiuyu for her ability, delicious cooking and good management skills.
To be honest, he kind of enjoyed this feeling.
In the past two years, Huang Ling has been cold and mean to him, and she won't give him any face in front of others. She will slap him when she deserves it and scold him when she deserves it. At least, Zhu Xiu Yu won't do that.
Seeing Zhuang Chaoying's silence, Zhu Xiuyu did not rush and continued to ask:
"From what I heard, Director Zhou wants to build a house. Are they... planning to get married?"
