Chapter 21 Grandpa and Grandma Want to Get a Big Red Envelope
Zhuang Chaoying chose a good time, as Huang Ling was at work and had no time to go with him.
But unexpectedly, Huang Ling arrived right after.
How could she allow the Zhuang family to bully Tunan and Xiaoting?
"Are you getting off work so early?" Zhuang Chaoying asked in surprise.
"I took two hours off! It's such a big thing, I definitely have to come!"
Huang Ling didn't go into the house, but took a step back and shouted at the door.
Aunt Zhang next door immediately joined in the fun: "Ah Ling! What good news!"
"Our Tunan got into No. 1 Middle School!"
"I didn't go to a school for children of wealthy families, I got directly into No. 1 Middle School!"
"Yes!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Yes! Grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt said at the time that if Tunan passed the exam, they would give him a big red envelope!"
"That's what I should do! If you keep going like this, you will definitely be able to get into university!" Aunt Zhang replied.
Huang Ling was very satisfied. She had deliberately taken two steps later when entering the house just now because she was waiting for Aunt Zhang to come out and collect the dried bamboo shoots.
Zhuang's mother heard it in the house, and when she saw Huang Ling, her head started to tingle.
She smiled and touched Tunan's head: "Tunan is really smart! You should help your brothers more in the future."
Huang Ling looked at her with a smile.
"Yeah! Okay, grandma, I'll go check their homework now!"
Xiaoting also ran away with her brother.
Huang Ling smiled faintly: "Mom, you're not just talking, are you? Tunan has brought honor to the family this time! The child heard it at the time, it would be bad if I don't give it to him!"
Before the exam, they passed by the old man's house on their way to do something, so they stopped by to sit and have a meal.
Huang Ling didn't say anything at the time. She quickly made some vegetarian noodles and sent them away, fearing that they would delay Tuanan's review.
Seeing Huang Ling so nervous, they asked her, and Zhuang Chaoying said that Tuanan was preparing to take the entrance exam for No. 1 Middle School.
Because I didn't have much confidence and was afraid that my child would have too much self-esteem, I didn't tell anyone.
At that time, Lin Fang laughed strangely: "If you have children who don't go to primary school, why would you choose to go to No. 1 Middle School when it's close by?"
"If you're uneducated, just shut up. Don't let people only know that you only know these few idioms." Huang Ling scolded.
"Not everyone can get into No. 1 Middle School! You have to be very outstanding! Those who pass the exam are all children from good families! Their parents are officials!" Zhuang's mother also shook her head.
"Then Zhuang Chaoying couldn't go to No. 1 Middle School because he didn't have good parents! Otherwise, he could have gotten into university."
"Stop talking, this is the most critical time for the child!" Zhuang Chaoying stopped everyone from talking any further.
He also knew that his parents and brothers could not produce any ivory.
However, if Huang Ling heard something that made her uncomfortable, she would definitely fight back.
Seeing the eldest son's expression change, Zhuang's mother said, "But if we work hard, it's possible! When you pass the exam, grandma will give you a big red envelope!"
"Okay! Don't deny it when the time comes!" Huang Ling smiled.
"Then I will definitely do what I say." Zhuang's mother was certain that Tuanan would not pass the exam.
Unexpectedly, Tuanan worked really hard and actually passed the exam.
"I..." Zhuang's mother recalled and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refuse.
"Don't be reluctant. When Zhendong and Zhenbei are admitted to No. 1 Middle School in the future, we will return the favor!" Huang Ling looked around the room.
Tunan was sighing in the room.
I only knew that Lin Dongzhe was bad, but I didn't expect there were worse ones.
"them......"
"Mom, you don't think they can't pass the exam, do you?" Huang Ling glanced at Lin Fang.
"How is that possible! Zhendong and Zhenbei are so smart! They will definitely pass the exam if they work hard!" Lin Fang doesn't think her son is stupid.
"That's right." Huang Ling quickly agreed.
Finally, Zhuang's mother gave Tunan two dollars as a reward so that he could buy books and school supplies.
The amount of money doesn’t matter, what matters is that she feels uncomfortable and in pain.
After Huang Ling and the others left, Zhuang's mother angrily gave each of her two grandsons a bottle of royal jelly and locked them in the house to study.
When she finished her housework and went to see them again, one of them was asleep on the bed, and the other was drawing a turtle on his homework book.
If drinking royal jelly can get you into No. 1 Middle School, then why are you still studying? Just drink royal jelly instead.
Huang Ling feels that Zhuang Chaoying is right when it comes to children's learning.
He believed that reading was useful and could change one's destiny, and he carefully tutored and accompanied the children in their reading.
This is the only advantage he has that Huang Ling likes.
When she returned home in the evening, Huang Ling saw Song Ying had just finished her meal and looked very sad, so she advised:
"Dongzhe is also growing up, so you still need to buy some meat to eat. And forestry workers, although they are skilled workers, it's not easy either. How can you have the strength without some oil and water?"
"Hey! I have to save money to buy a TV! I can't let people look down on me!"
Huang Ling knew that Song Ying earned 55 yuan a month and Lin Wufeng earned 60 yuan a month, and they both always saved 30 yuan as a fund to buy a TV.
She remembered that the book said that Lin Wufeng bought the TV ticket and plane ticket from a colleague using fifty kilograms of food coupons, and that the remaining one hundred yuan for buying the TV was borrowed from Huang Ling.
Thinking of this, she shuddered. She had never thought about this before and almost made them waste fifty kilograms of food coupons in vain.
So Huang Ling went into the house, came out after a while, and said to Song Ying who was washing dishes, "I have something for you."
"Wait until I finish washing the dishes."
"Don't wash it, come in and dry your hands!"
"Oh, here it comes."
Song Ying wiped her hands on her apron and walked into the house.
I saw Huang Ling and Lin Wufeng in the room, looking at something.
"What's wrong"
"Song Ying, come here quickly! Hahaha! Look what Sister Ling gave us!" Lin Wufeng was very happy.
"What?"
Song Ying walked forward, took a look in the light, and screamed:
“TV tickets!”
Huang Ling nodded: "It's for you. If you buy it from others, you have to use food coupons."
"How can this be possible! This is too precious!" Lin Wufeng knew that the person in the department next door had obtained one, but he couldn't afford it, so he exchanged it for many industrial tickets.
"We are all family. I have an idea. Let's see if you think it's feasible." Huang Ling said to the two.
"Sister Ling, you say it, and we will listen to you."
"If we want the children to watch TV sooner, we need to cooperate with both families. It will take too long for you to save up by yourself. Why don't we each do half, which will be much faster."
The couple looked at each other.
"I think it's really good, but I wonder if Teacher Zhuang would disagree."
"Our Tunan is going to start learning English when he enters junior high school. The TV station has two children's English programs every week, with experts tutoring on grammar and pronunciation. As long as it's for Tunan's learning, he won't have any objections."
Song Ying nodded: "So that's how it is. I have no objection. I couldn't ask for more!"
Huang Ling added, "We'll pay half of the electricity bill. When we're financially ready, we can buy a new TV and sell this one. We'll split the proceeds. As long as we stay in this house, we can buy all the big appliances together and enjoy them sooner rather than later."
Lin Wufeng was a flexible person and nodded quickly: "I think it's okay! Sister Ling will definitely not let us suffer any loss."
"Of course not, they even issued tickets! This way we can get an extra fifty yuan!" Song Ying said again.
"No, I have the money. If you have saved enough, just tell me and I will give it to you."
The fact is thus established.
It would have taken her a year and a half to save up for it, but now she can buy it before the New Year. Song Ying is very happy.
