Chapter 161 Changing Surname
Only Zhu Xiuyu and Zhao Hongbin were left in the room.
Zhu Xiu Yu felt very happy seeing her son's grades getting better and better under the discipline of Zhuang Chaoying and the encouragement of Zhuang Tuanan.
She finally felt that her choice was right.
Just as I was about to take a break, Zhuang Chaoying came back.
Zhu Xiuyu asked worriedly, "Can they both stay there?"
Zhuang Chaoying took the water cup and took a big sip. "It's okay. Dad is already asleep. He usually gets up once at most. The two of them can handle it. I'll go there early tomorrow."
"Well, I don't usually let these two children lend a hand, so I'm a little worried." Zhu Xiu Yu smiled.
Zhuang Chaoying shook Zhu Xiuyu's hand: "They remember your kindness! They said they would be filial to you in the future."
"Oh, after hearing that, I'm willing to work any hardship."
She pulled Zhuang Chaoying into their room, made him sit down, and said seriously:
"Chaoying! It's great that you're back. I have something I want to discuss with you."
"you say."
Seeing how serious she was, Zhuang Chaoying thought it was just something related to his parents, and he also wanted to discuss this matter with Zhu Xiuyu.
"I discussed it with Hongbin. Since he's in his graduating class now and has to register for the high school entrance exam after the Lunar New Year, I thought I'd help him change his name."
Zhuang Chaoying was stunned when he heard this.
"Why change the name? Hongbin is not a good name. I think it's pretty good!"
Zhu Xiuyu blushed: "No! I changed my surname to Zhuang! From now on, I'll be called Zhuang Hongbin!"
"Ah!!" Zhuang Chaoying screamed.
"At school, people always laugh at him. There are five people in his family, four with different surnames. They even make up rhymes to mock him... After changing his name before enrolling, he started high school with the new name... Chaoying, what do you think?"
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hands: "This is not right, this is not right, they..."
Zhuang Chaoying stopped talking halfway, and no one from the Zhao family left.
"I've discussed this with Hongbin, and he said he's willing. He can see that you're treating him well. He also said, 'I feel like I have a father now.' Now when strangers ask him about it, he proudly says, 'My father is a high school teacher, and he's really great.'"
As she spoke, Zhu Xiuyu began to wipe away her tears:
"He was just too embarrassed to call me, so when I mentioned it, he immediately nodded."
Zhuang Chaoying was deeply moved:
"It's been almost a year now. I was originally thinking of having you transfer your household registration to my name, but I was worried Hongbin and Tunan might have some ideas."
"Yes, yes, look at me, we have to ask Tunan about this matter first, oh, and Pengfei too." Zhu Xiu Yu said immediately.
"Well, okay, I'll find time to talk to them."
Zhu Xiuyu brought foot washing water to Zhuang Chaoying and asked him to soak his feet, while she sat on the bed and gave him a massage.
"What should we do if we go back now? The hospital is closer, but it's too far to go home." She brought up the matter of Old Man Zhuang again.
"I can't stand such a long period of hardship. What will happen to our whole family if something goes wrong at work?" Zhuang Chaoying got a headache just thinking about it.
"That's right! I feel so bad."
Zhuang Chaoying hadn't figured out what to do about this. He turned around and looked at Zhu Xiuyu:
"If it doesn't work out, I might have to live there for a while."
Zhu Xiuyu nodded: "That's as I should, but Tunan and Pengfei are both graduating students. You can't take care of them during the day, and if you don't come back at night, who will tutor them?"
Zhuang Chaoying was stunned.
Yeah! That’s the biggest thing.
If Tuanan failed to get into the main high school of No. 1 Middle School because of his failure to take good care of him, Huang Ling would definitely kill him.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhuang Chaoying asked.
"I think we should let Mom try it first. She's still strong. Dad only gets up once at night, and she gets up several times herself, so I don't think it's a big problem." Zhu Xiu Yu thought for a while and replied.
Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
"Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way. Anyway, if we get you involved, what will happen to our whole family?"
After Zhu Xiuyu finished speaking, she hugged Zhuang Chaoying from behind.
"Well, Zhendong and Zhenbei are the same age as Pengfei. Look, Pengfei can even cook for us. They can't do anything, and grandpa and grandma take care of everything. It's time for them to repay grandpa and grandma and let them lend a hand in the evening."
"Well, spoiling the child too much is not good for him either." Zhu Xiu Yu responded again.
After some discussion, the matter was settled.
The next day, the couple took Zhao Hongbin to the hospital.
Zhao Hongbin wanted to go himself, saying that his grandfather couldn't move, and Tuanan and Pengfei were as skinny as monkeys and had no strength at all. He was different, he could help, and then he and Zhuang Chaoying would move the people onto the cart.
Zhuang Chaoying remembered that he wanted to take her surname, and she liked him more and more.
When they set off, Zhuang Chaoying borrowed a cart from a neighbor in the yard. Zhao Hongbin rode on it and took Zhuang Chaoying and Zhu Xiuyu to the hospital.
"Hongbin! If you can't step on it anymore, let me do it." Zhuang Chaoying patted Zhao Hongbin on the back.
"I'm not tired, uncle. I can ride well."
"If the child is happy, let him do as he pleases." Zhu Xiu Yu said with a smile.
After completing the formalities, Zhuang Chaoying and Zhao Hongbin carried Old Man Zhuang onto the cart.
Zhu Xiu Yu said that there was no room in the car, so she asked Tuanan and Pengfei to go home first.
Zhao Hongbin rode in front, while Zhuang Chaoying and Zhu Xiuyu followed beside, one helping to hold and the other helping to push, and they finally returned home.
Zhuang Chaoying saw Zhendong and Zhenbei sleeping soundly in the room, and he was furious. He shouted:
"You don't know how to help me! I raised you all for nothing!"
Zhendong and Zhenbei then became unhappy and helped to support their grandfather.
"They said others wouldn't go! Did they go to see it?" Zhuang Chaoying muttered again, and his mother heard it.
Zhuang's mother pulled him aside and asked what his future plans would be.
Zhuang Chaoying told Zhu Xiuyu about the plan they had discussed.
"How can this be! This is going to cost me my life." Zhuang's mother became anxious when she saw Zhuang Chaoying completely denying the responsibility.
"If you can't move tonight, let Zhendong and Zhenbei take care of them all night. You've taken care of them for so many years, you should at least lend a hand!"
As he spoke, Zhuang Chaoying called both of them out.
"Zhendong, Zhenbei, you are not young anymore, you have to take responsibility for the family affairs! Otherwise, your grandparents will have loved you for so many years in vain!" After saying that, he looked at the two of them meaningfully.
At this point, if they are smart, they should be nice to their grandparents. Considering that they have raised them for so many years and they need them now, they may not consider their background for the time being.
After all, as long as Lin Fang doesn't agree to the test, they have no way to do anything.
Unexpectedly, Zhendong and Zhenbei were absolutely unwilling to do so, saying that it was impossible for them to clean up people's excrement and urine, and that what they were doing was abusing children.
Zhuang Chaoying was so angry that he stood up and slammed the table: "Look! Look at the child you raised with such love!"
Zhuang's mother walked up to Zhuang Chaoying and raised her hand to hit him. Zhu Xiuyu had been staring at them. At this time, she took a step forward and took the slap.
"You! It's the same! Get out! Do you think I never raised you? And you two ungrateful bastards, get out of here tomorrow and go find your mother! I'm not sure if you're my offspring, but you're definitely hers!"
Zhuang's mother turned and went into the house, closing the door heavily.
Zhuang Chaoying also took Zhu Xiuyu away.
