Chapter 201 Wrote a Letter of Commitment
Huang Ling took Song Ying to sit outside the alley and said they would go back after dinner.
Zhou Huaiyi and Lin Gong went to cook immediately.
Xiaoting stood by the table watching Dongzhe write his self-criticism. Dongzhe was full of ideas, after all, he was a skilled worker.
"'Du', not 'tea poison'." Xiaoting pointed out Dongzhe's typo.
"Don't bother with the treacherous Zhuang Xiaoting." Dongzhe said through gritted teeth.
Xiao Ting was stunned at first, but then she understood immediately: "I didn't tell Aunt Song."
"Today..." Dongzhe started to yell two words, but when he saw Xiaoting meeting his gaze, he bit his tongue and said, "You know who you are. I treat you as a friend, and you treat me as a fool."
Xiao Ting frowned, bit her lip, and said after a while:
"I told you it wasn't me! If you walk by the river, you'll get your feet wet. If you do too much evil, you'll eventually perish. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Heaven's net is vast and nothing can escape it. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, okay! I know you are capable! Please go out and don't disturb me while I am writing my self-criticism, okay?" Dongzhe made a gesture of invitation.
Xiaoting snorted, turned around and went to find her mother and Song Ying.
Huang Ling and Song Ying sat side by side on the stone bench, holding hands and talking.
"Don't be angry. Anger is not good for women and makes them age faster." Huang Ling advised.
"Tunan and Xiaoting are sensible and have never worried about anything."
"Who said that? They're not as smart as Dongzhe and Pengfei. I'm worried they'll suffer."
"You won't suffer any loss, so don't worry about it."
"When you were standing there scolding the child just now, I remembered the way Dongzhe and you were lying on the ground in anger when we first moved in. In the blink of an eye, you are both in junior high school." Huang Ling sighed.
"Yeah! Grow up quickly! Go to college and save us from worrying about you."
"When you go to college, you'll cry every day thinking about it."
"We'll talk about it later. Anyway, I don't want to see him at all now."
"Hey, let's get our hair permed tomorrow! We haven't had our hair permed in a long time!" Huang Ling suggested.
"It's only been half a year, what a waste of money." Song Ying touched her hair.
"No, I don't want to curl my hair anymore. Go ahead! I'll treat you. Let me tell you, I've fallen for a new look that's so fashionable. Our factory beauty must be the most fashionable!" Huang Ling stroked Song Ying's curly hair and said.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to something delicious, don't argue with me."
"OK."
Huang Ling had just coaxed Song Ying, but unexpectedly Xiao Ting walked up to them with a pursed lip.
"Xiaoting, what's wrong? Did Lin Dongzhe bully you? It seems that he didn't hurt you today!" Song Ying began to roll up her sleeves.
"Oh, don't be so anxious!" Huang Ling held her back and asked Xiao Ting, "Are you having a fight?"
"Lin Dongzhe insisted that I was the one who informed on the secret." Xiao Ting said angrily.
"Oh, yes, I didn't even ask you how you caught them." Huang Ling pulled Xiaoting to sit on the other side of her.
Song Ying slapped her thigh. "I asked Xiao Ye to make him some baby clothes. I took apart a cotton mask and made them. He mumbled to me, 'I saw those two naughty kids go to the video hall on Mianwu Street, so I went and caught them right away!'"
Huang Ling nodded, gently patted her daughter's hand to comfort her, and immediately changed the subject: "Your idea is good. Cotton yarn is cool and absorbs sweat. I'll go to the mill to buy some cotton yarn to make some children's clothes and bibs to sell. I'm sure they will sell well."
"Oh, you have a really good brain. Just a word from me turns it into business!" Song Ying realized this.
"I will ask for the price of cloth tomorrow. Xiaoting, help mom calculate the cost tomorrow. You are good at math." Huang Ling patted Xiaoting.
"Okay." Xiaoting was very happy. This was a novel thing. It was very interesting to accompany her mother to inquire about the price of cloth and then calculate the cost.
She soon stopped being angry.
In the kitchen, Zhou Huaiyi was the chef and Lin was helping out. They spent most of their time talking about work.
After attending the Canton Fair, Song Xiangyang brought back a wealth of customer information.
The young technician who went with him from the town-run factory was very flexible. The two of them met with many customers privately. Although they did not place any clear orders, they expressed great interest in their products.
Song Xiangyang and his team planned to send some samples to a nearby factory to get familiar with it first.
"It's a good idea. Xiaoling said that customers also need training and adjustment, which is what she meant. If you don't go, he won't even know that we have this option." Zhou Huaiyi nodded.
"Yes, we can also provide technical support and customized services, which others don't have."
After talking about work for a while, Zhou Huaiyi told Lin Gong:
"Actually, I saw these two kids coming out of the video room before."
"ah!"
"After they left, I went to the video parlor and checked it out. They were all movies from legitimate channels, mostly popular Hong Kong martial arts films. So I didn't tell you about it. It's normal for boys to like these, and there are quite a few kids watching them."
Lin Gong nodded, feeling relieved: "Don't mention them, I like it too."
Zhou Huaiyi chuckled: "Yes, so tonight you can persuade Song Ying. If the children want to see it in the future, we can take them there during the holidays. Just don't go by yourself."
The three people who were enjoying the breeze outside in the alley sat down until Lin Gong came to call them to eat.
Zhuang Chaoying took Pengfei back home.
Along the way, Zhuang Chaoying was silent for a while before he began to speak:
"Pengfei, I don't want to say anything else. Think more about your parents. The reason your mom didn't let you go home during the summer vacation was because your grades weren't improving."
"I understand, uncle. I won't go to see it again."
"You're quite capable, earning your own money. How old are you? Is it time to earn money now? If your parents knew about this, they would think I withheld the money they gave you! Forget about what happened after the New Year!"
Pengfei lowered his head.
After the Chinese New Year, Zhuang Hualin sent Pengfei back and first went to his elder brother and sister-in-law's house.
Zhuang Hualin was happy to know that his elder brother had been allocated a house, but he was also worried at the same time.
So her first stop was not to go back to see her parents, but to visit her elder brother and sister-in-law.
While cooking, she went to help Zhu Xiu Yu. After a while, she took out a note from her pocket and handed it to Zhu Xiu Yu.
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't know what the note was, so she wiped her hands on her apron and opened it to read.
She saw only three words written on it: "Letter of Commitment," and she began to read them.
Although she is not well educated, she can still recognize most of the commonly used characters.
The letter of commitment meant that although Pengfei was on Zhuang Chaoying's household registration, the house would have nothing to do with Pengfei no matter what happened in the future. It also clearly stated the reasons why Pengfei was on Zhuang Chaoying's household registration. Finally, Xiangdong, Zhuang Hualin and Pengfei all signed on it.
Zhu Xiuyu understood what Zhuang Hualin meant. She pushed the paper back and said,
"Sister, you're being too polite. Your brother and I have never considered this!"
Zhuang Hualin didn't answer, but shook Zhu Xiuyu's hand and said:
"Sister-in-law, I know, but it's written in black and white, so I feel at ease, and everyone feels at ease."
Zhu Xiu Yu put the note away, turned her face away and wiped her tears.
Zhuang Hualin saw that something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you not afraid to tell me? Is it because Pengfei is ignorant?"
