Chapter 251 Stopping Zhuang Chaoying from Going to School
The day before filling out the application form.
Zhuang Chaoying asked Zhu Xiuyu: "Will you accompany Hongbin tomorrow?"
Zhu Xiuyu shook her head. "Just let Hongbin go by himself. He's already checked the schools you chose. Besides, there are teachers to check them out. He can just go by himself."
"Oh, it's okay if you don't go. I'm going anyway." Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
He thought that since he had to accompany Tunan anyway, Hongbin might as well go along.
"Chaoying, your teacher didn't ask your parents to go if you wanted to!" Zhu Xiuyu looked surprised.
"What's wrong? We didn't ask parents to go, and we didn't say they can't go! I'll go and keep an eye on things so I feel more at ease." Seeing her look, Chaoying was a little confused.
Zhu Xiuyu looked at the three children collecting the tables and chairs outside the water room, then pulled Zhuang Chaoying into the room, closed the door, and whispered:
"Tunan and Pengfei just said that Huang Ling will accompany Tunan tomorrow."
Zhuang Chaoying was stunned for a moment. He was teaching students during the day and didn't know about this. Tuanan didn't tell him either.
"How could she have that kind of time, Director? Besides, she always advocates that children do things by themselves. If they can't do it themselves, it's because the children are incompetent. She won't go!" Zhuang Chaoying waved her hands to express her disbelief.
"This is a big deal, and Sister Huang Ling always has her own ideas. If she says she's going, she'll definitely go."
For a moment, Zhuang Chaoying fell into deep thought.
When Tunan came back from helping to clear the table, Zhuang Chaoying asked him:
"Tunan, are you going alone tomorrow?"
"I wanted to go by myself, but Mom said she would go with me. Oh, Dad, Mom didn't accompany me to fill out the application form. She was talking to the principal by the way." Tuanan told Zhuang Chaoying.
"Oh, so that's it!" Zhuang Chaoying nodded thoughtfully.
"Dad, don't worry, I can do it myself. There are several checkpoints including the class teacher, grade director and application team to check it out! There will be no problem." Tuanan comforted him.
"Well, yes, this is a big deal, we have to check it out."
"Dad, you want to..."
Zhuang Chaoying really can't go this time.
If he said he would go with Tunan, he would have to meet Huang Ling. He was afraid that Huang Ling would not give him face in public and scold him, which he didn't want.
If he said he was going with Hongbin, he was afraid that Tunan would overthink it and say that this stepson was more important than his biological son.
"Oh, your mother can go. I asked Hongbin just now, and he said he would go by himself. He doesn't need me or your aunt to accompany him."
Zhuang Chaoying thought that since the school would not change anyway, it would be fine for Huang Ling to go there.
Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin in the next room both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tuanan was eating here, and Zhu Xiuyu was busy cooking.
He would come back here every two days, mainly to help Pengfei with his studies other than math. He would usually stay for dinner after finishing his studies.
Tunan’s tutoring for Pengfei focuses on English.
Zhuang Chaoying is a math teacher. He is pretty good at other subjects except English. He did learn a little bit in school, but it was Russian.
Although Tuanan did not take the English test this year, the school has received a notice of change and will definitely need to take the test when Pengfei graduates. Moreover, his mother said that English will be an important tool for a long time to come, so Tuanan is studying very seriously and has not relaxed.
He knew he had to thank his mother for this, because compared to other students, he had tools that others didn't have, such as television, radio, and tape recorder, and he also had a mother who could use English fluently.
He and Pengfei sat in the house to rest.
Seeing Pengfei, Tunan started mumbling again:
"I'm going to college, and you'll be graduating from junior high school next. I'm really worried. You must..."
Pengfei closed the book and said, "Brother, stop, stop. You've said this seventy-eight times already. I'm counting for you. Don't worry, Dongzhe, Xiaoting, and Aunt Huang are watching me. I promise, I won't back down, okay!"
“Not only must we not regress, we must progress!”
"Yes, yes, progress, progress."
"My aunt called me the other day and told me to keep an eye on you. She doesn't have high expectations for you. Just get into our high school first, and we can figure out the rest later."
"I know, but I don't dare to think about anything else." Pengfei murmured in a low voice.
"you......"
"Brother, my uncle told you the other day to go back to the village after you fill in your application. When do you plan to go?" Pengfei suddenly remembered this.
Tunan shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later."
"Anyway, take me with you when you go. I know how to deal with them." Pengfei looked confident.
"OK."
As they were talking, they smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.
Pengfei shrank his nose and sighed, "When my brother comes back, my aunt will make delicious food."
Tunan glanced at him and said, "I'm going to stop here. Don't tell anyone else. If someone hears it, they'll think your aunt treats you badly."
Pengfei nodded quickly: "Yes, I said the wrong thing."
Speaking of the two mothers, Tuanan remembered that his mother had taught him another lesson today.
Huang Ling asked him to find Zhu Xiuyu in the room and tell Pengfei about the arrangements for the next day.
She said his aunt was much smarter than he thought and was able to receive the information and use it.
He knew that his mother was trying to help Hongbin, so he was willing to be his mother's tool.
If Zhu Xiu Yu didn't receive the message, he had a backup plan and would bring up the matter during dinner.
He understood what the two mothers had done for Hongbin. Although his father would blame him as well in the future, he felt it was worth it so that his brother could have a better future.
Zhu Xiuyu was cooking in the house. She certainly had other arrangements, but none were as direct and effective as Huang Ling's.
Eat pork with preserved vegetables in the evening.
"Those pieces of pure lean meat belong to your brother Tuanan. Don't take them and eat them, okay?" Zhu Xiu Yu instructed.
"I know, I just like to eat fatty food!" Hongbin laughed.
"I love eating preserved vegetables." Pengfei replied.
"Pengfei, you also eat meat, so why can't you gain weight?" Zhu Xiuyu put a piece of meat into Pengfei's bowl, fearing that he would only dare to eat preserved vegetables and not meat.
After dinner, when Tuanan returned home, Zhu Xiuyu took a lunch box, put it in a net bag and put it in his bicycle basket.
"Tunan, this is a box of pork with preserved vegetables. Take it back and let Xiaoting try it."
Tunan looked at her and replied, "Thank you, Auntie. Xiaoting really likes it. She adds preserved vegetables to her rice and eats a big bowl at a time."
"I'm glad you like it. Go back! Be careful on the road."
She watched Tunan push the cart out of the alley.
The next day, Zhu Xiu Yu did not set up the stall, but made a hearty breakfast.
Zhuang Chaoying asked: "Aren't you going to set up a stall today?"
"I'm always worried, so I thought about not setting up the stall anymore." Zhu Xiu Yu replied.
"Oh, that's fine." Zhuang Chaoying did not object.
But not long after, someone entered the yard.
Zhu Xiu Yu’s original plan came true.
