Chapter 133 Not for the House
When it comes to houses, it’s a sure win for Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying hesitated and said, "I don't know..."
Next, Zhuang Chaoying fell into deep thought.
Zhu Xiuyu looked at Zhuang Chaoying's gloomy face, and she knew what was going on. So she said:
"Yeah, it has to be at least a year, otherwise people will say something. By the way, Teacher Zhuang, I went to the factory office today."
"Why go to the factory office?" Zhuang Chaoying was panicked. He wondered if Zhu Xiuyu was going to urge him to get married.
He hasn't thought about it yet.
"I was thinking, the factory distributes housing, and Teacher Zhuang's Children's School is a subordinate unit, so the ratio is much smaller. It must take a long time for you to get your turn."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, this is true.
Zhu Xiuyu continued, "The factory is currently building a staff building. It will be finished in two to three years at most. I heard that every building will have a toilet and kitchen. It would be great if I could be one of them..."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled bitterly, "The new and good ones are definitely reserved for the leaders. There are so many leaders in the factory that there aren't enough to go around, let alone a teacher at the affiliated school. Even the principal is almost there."
Of course Zhuang Chaoying knew about this. He participated in the compilation of textbooks not because he wanted to get such a good distribution, but only wanted to become a director and move the time of housing distribution forward. He couldn't even think about getting a new house.
"Yeah, that's true." Zhu Xiu Yu felt a little disappointed.
"You haven't told me why you are going to the factory office?" Zhuang Chaoying asked nervously.
"Here's what I thought. Since Hongbin has decided to take the high school entrance exam and then go to college, we definitely won't need Hongbin's dad's job anymore. So I thought, if Teacher Zhuang and I are together in the future, I'd like to trade Hongbin's job for getting you an earlier room, or an extra room, or something like that. So, I went to the factory office to ask."
Zhuang Chaoying suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Xiuyu.
He trembled and asked: "What did the factory office say?"
"The factory office said they've never encountered this situation before, but if I give up my job, I should be given some compensation in other ways. We can hold a meeting to discuss this later."
Zhuang Chaoying was a little disappointed that he didn't hear the result he wanted. The factory office was just playing Tai Chi, and whatever they said was the same as if they hadn't said anything.
"I said again, before Hongbin's father passed away, we had already applied for a separate house. As soon as Hongbin's father died, they gave the quota to someone else, leaving us, a widow and an orphan, homeless. They hired a temporary worker to send us off, and we still live in that house built next to someone else's house..."
As she spoke, Zhu Xiuyu's eyes turned red and she started crying.
This is all the truth, but there are so many twists and turns in it. No one agreed to the bullying against her, as she was an orphan and a widow. Her husband had no one at home, and her parents' family didn't care or help. So, she didn't dare to resist as she was alone with her child, and could only accept it.
"Some people from the factory office who knew about the situation told me not to bring up the past anymore, saying it was meaningless. They also said that if I married Teacher Zhuang, they would definitely consider my proposal."
Zhuang Chaoying took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, feeling a little secretly happy.
The incident of Song Ying abandoning her child at the leader's house to earn two rooms is still fresh in people's minds, but she is still wrong. Zhao Hongbin is really right! As for their family's affairs, it is definitely the factory's fault.
For a moment, Zhuang Chaoying became a little excited.
It seems like there's hope.
Whether it is early booking or adding a room, it is a good thing, a very good thing.
However, he thought of another problem.
Although he felt bad, he still decided to muster up the courage to ask:
"If that's the case, Hongbin's mom, why didn't you choose me over someone else? There must be single men lining up to buy houses in your cafeteria, logistics department, or workshop!"
Zhu Xiuyu looked at Zhuang Chaoying in shock.
He stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything. His face turned red and his eyes were red.
After a long while, she angrily said:
"Teacher Zhuang... I didn't expect... you actually thought of me this much... If it was for the house, I would have found someone to marry the following year instead of waiting these five years!"
Zhuang Chaoying panicked: "Hongbin's mother, I didn't mean that, I..."
"It's because I want to be with Teacher Zhuang that I think about our future and how to solve the housing issue with you. I also think about your family having two children and we have three children in total, so it's not easy to live here..."
"Hongbin's mother..."
Zhu Xiuyu waved her hand, not wanting to listen to him, and then continued:
"I didn't come to see Teacher Zhuang just because I wanted a house... I'm uneducated, I don't know if I've made myself clear... Forget it..."
Before Zhuang Chaoying could say anything, Zhu Xiuyu called out "Hongbin" and quickly walked to the other side of the road.
Zhao Hongbin sighed and said to Tunan, "Brother Tunan, I'll come find you tomorrow!"
"OK."
"Goodbye, Aunt Zhu!" Pengfei waved to Zhu Xiu Yu.
Looking at Zhu Xiuyu's staggering back, Zhuang Chaoying was at a loss.
Pengfei sensed something was wrong with Zhu Xiuyu, so he reminded her:
"Uncle, spare ribs!"
"Oh, hurry up, send it to your Aunt Zhu."
"good!"
Pengfei took the ribs and quickly caught up with Zhu Xiuyu, stuffing the ribs into her hands.
When he came back, he told Zhuang Chaoying: "Aunt Zhu seemed to be crying."
------
In the courtyard of the alley, Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi sat in the yard enjoying the breeze, watching Zhou Huailan sitting under the street light in front of the door, braiding Xiaoting's hair.
She would chat while braiding her hair.
Xiaoting would tell Zhou Huailan the little secrets that she didn't want to tell her mother.
Zhou Huailan would not tell Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi about Xiaoting's little secrets.
The two of them established their own intimate relationship while braiding hair and chatting.
"You're saying bad things about me." Huang Ling nibbled on the apple Zhou Huaiyi had just peeled for her, raised her chin towards the two of them, and spoke in a low voice.
"Well, I glanced at you three times while saying one thing."
"Hahahahaha! It has to be Captain Zhou."
"You must have been criticizing her recently."
"It's not normal to be scolded for doing something wrong"
"Xiaoting is so well behaved, yet she still does something wrong. It must be because you are looking for trouble or your expectations are too high."
"You! Captain Zhou, your entire butt is crooked now!"
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and suggested: "Digestion"
"Um."
The two of them walked in the dim twilight.
By this time, the heat had dissipated and it was very comfortable.
The two walked slowly along the street hand in hand.
"I really like this courtyard. You two have such a deep affection for each other. Let's come back often in the future. If I go on a business trip or have a meeting, you and Xiaoting can come back and live here, okay?"
While eating just now, Zhou Huaiyi noticed that Huang Ling was a little reluctant.
"Captain Zhou, you have such sharp eyes."
"I don't think anyone else takes it that seriously! You're definitely different."
Huang Ling stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Huaiyi had a feeling that she was going to do something bad.
"See if there's anyone there."
Zhou Huaiyi also followed her gaze and looked around nervously, but seeing no one, he said:
"Tell me what you want to do, I'll give you..."
The word "stop" was not uttered.
Huang Ling stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
