Chapter 218 Auntie Please
Hong Bin answered openly:
"Brother Tunan and Brother Zheyu are both top players. How can I do the questions they can't solve? I've been listening for a long time but still don't understand. I'd better wait until you figure it out before explaining it to me!"
"Then just do the questions that you can do, and then think about some more in-depth questions. Take your time. If you have any questions, ask me." Zhuang Chaoying was leaning against the headboard reading a book. He answered without raising his head.
"Okay."
Zhu Xiu Yu glanced at Zhuang Chaoying, then at Hong Bin who was working on his homework at his desk, and felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
After the study, Zhu Xiuyu wanted to invite Xie Zheyu to dinner, but Xie Zheyu politely declined.
Tunan went to see Xie Zheyu off, and Zhu Xiuyu picked up the trash and said, "I'll go take out the trash."
Usually, this is Pengfei's job, and he is the main one responsible for it.
Pengfei stood up when he saw Zhu Xiuyu holding the garbage, but he didn't move. He thought of something and went back to his room.
Zhu Xiu Yu watched Tuanan send Xie Zheyu out of the alley and waited for him at the entrance of the alley.
"Tunan, auntie has something to tell you." Zhu Xiuyu's voice trembled slightly.
Tunan nodded: "Auntie, go ahead."
Zhu Xiuyu hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.
"Auntie, just treat me like Hongbin. Just tell me if you have anything to say. It's okay." Seeing that she was in such a dilemma, Tuanan comforted her.
"Don't take your father's words to heart. He just cares about you."
Tunan smiled gently: "I know, but don't worry, Auntie, I won't be like that."
"I definitely believe that, but I still want you to convince your father. Auntie might be very selfish for doing this, but there's nothing I can do..."
Zhu Xiuyu's eyes turned red, and she continued:
"I heard that your mother has mentored several students who went on to study at prestigious universities. She wants you to live there because she wants you to get into a prestigious university, right? She definitely won't harm you."
"Yes." Tunan nodded slightly.
"As for Hongbin, you see he is far behind you... I'm really scared... What if he fails to get into university? He has no way out..." Zhu Xiu Yu held Tuanan's wrist.
"Auntie, I understand what you mean. I will go talk to Dad."
"Thank you, Tunan, thank you! Auntie shouldn't have said this. If I had, people would have thought I was going to chase you away, but for Hongbin, I had no choice. If this wasn't going to your mother's place, if it was any place worse than ours, I would never have asked this question. Do you believe me?"
"I believe it, really. Auntie, I thought so too." Tuanan answered Zhu Xiuyu seriously. He was still hesitating about how to tell Huang Ling, but now he has made a new decision.
"That's good, that's good, Tuanan, thank you, I will be extra nice to you in the future." Zhu Xiuyu's gratitude at this time was sincere. For the sake of her son, she was willing to do anything.
The two returned home one after the other, as if the conversation just now had never happened.
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't know when Tuanan told Zhuang Chaoying about this, nor did she know what he said to Zhuang Chaoying. Anyway, Zhuang Chaoying agreed and would move there after the winter vacation and when Huang Ling was done with her work.
However, he spent the New Year with Huang Ling last year, so this year he will spend the New Year with Zhuang Chaoying. Unless there are special circumstances, he will probably do the same in the future.
Huang Ling also agreed with Tuanan's plan. After all, the month before the Chinese New Year was her busiest.
Every day, she would walk in her little leather boots to the garment factory, then to the supplier, and then to the town with the most customers around Suzhou.
Zhou Huaiyi didn't know where she got so much energy from, she always looked full of energy.
He felt bad, but he still tried his best to support her.
As soon as she got home, Huang Ling shouted:
"Director Zhou!"
Zhou Huaiyi responded from the kitchen: "Change your shoes and wash your hands, and eat right away. I've steamed your favorite preserved meat."
Huang Ling did not do as he said, but walked into the kitchen, leaned lazily against Zhou Huaiyi and whispered:
"I want to buy a car."
Zhou Huaiyi was frying the last vegetable and didn't hear clearly, so he replied, "Just buy whatever you want! If you don't have time to buy, write the list to me and I'll go buy it for you."
"I said, I want to buy a car!" Huang Ling said word by word.
Zhou Huaiyi heard it clearly this time, but was not too surprised. He knew that the man must be tired from running around several places during the day, and was tired from walking and riding a bicycle.
He immediately dragged a chair over, pressed her onto it, and then said:
"I'll boil some water for you to soak your feet in later. I'll add some Chinese medicine. I asked for a prescription. It can relieve your fatigue."
"I want to buy a car and a small truck!" Huang Ling said angrily through gritted teeth.
"Okay, I understand. I'll ask around for you. If we can buy it with our current private license, we'll go buy it right away."
At that time, private purchase of cars was not allowed, so Huang Ling just said it to vent her anger.
"Besides, even if you have a car, you still need a driver!"
Huang Ling was stunned. This was really a big deal.
Nowadays, only state-owned enterprises own cars, and drivers are also trained by state-owned enterprises themselves. Just like in a workshop, there is a master teaching an apprentice. To take the exam, a certificate from the factory is required. The number of places is limited and one has to queue up. Very few people can get a driver's license.
So these people generally work in state-owned units, and there are very few people in society. Even if you have money to hire a driver, no one will hire one for you.
Zhou Huaiyi got his driver's license in the army, which is rare.
Huang Ling can drive! She got her driver's license at the age of 18, and has been driving for three years. She thinks she is quite good at driving.
However, although she had a C1 license plate, she had never driven a manual transmission car. However, there were no automatic transmissions in the 1980s.
Even if you can drive, you still need a driver's license. Huang Ling is not afraid of getting a license or waiting in line. She still needs to learn anyway, so she just waits.
"Master." Huang Ling held Zhou Huaiyi's hand and called out.
"Ah!" A rare look of confusion appeared on Zhou Huaiyi's face. When he understood what was happening, every cell in his body was rejecting it.
He recalled the time when he was training apprentices in the army. He had such a good temper, but every time he got in the car, he could scold the other person within five minutes.
For the sake of family harmony, I can’t teach him, not even a little bit.
So, Zhou Huaiyi recommended her to his driver Xiao Ding.
"Director, it's not that I don't want to teach, I just have to take the auto repair exam! Is this possible for my sister-in-law?" Xiao Ding looked at Huang Ling, whose hair was so delicate that it was almost delicate.
Huang Ling nodded confidently: "Okay, I've been a textile workshop worker for so many years, I can do it."
Zhou Huaiyi also nodded: "Don't worry about this. Your sister-in-law is extremely smart and will definitely be able to do it. You just need to teach her. No scolding or hitting, but you can teach her in any other way."
Xiao Ding: “…”
