Chapter 257 Everything is sold
Tunan, Pengfei and Xiaoting returned to the banker's house together.
Before leaving, Xiaoting and Tunan went to ask Huang Ling for her opinion.
Huang Ling said generously: "If you feel you can go, then go. I have no objection."
She had said long ago that as long as these people did not disappear from this world, they would be inextricably linked to them, and what they had to do was not to escape, but to deal with it.
Looking at Xiaoting's confident look, she was no longer a little girl who could be manipulated by others, so she was not too worried.
"Tunan, if Xiaoting is willing to go, then I will hand her over to you. But as a principle, we cannot suffer any loss." She made the request.
"I understand, Mom. We'll make it quick and come back soon." Tuanan agreed.
The two of them left the military family compound and found Pengfei and Hongbin waiting at the door.
"Hongbin, you go too."
"One is civil and the other is military." Pengfei pointed at himself and then at Hongbin.
The four children smiled at each other.
Going to my grandparents' house is like going to war.
"It's still not quite balanced, three are civil and one is military. It's hard work, Hongbin." Tuanan also joked.
Four people entered the dealer's house carrying a watermelon and two cans of sugar water.
Zhuang's mother blocked the door and refused to let anyone in, while introducing the matter at the door:
"My grandson is back! Tunan just got admitted to Tsinghua University in Beijing! This is the best in Suzhou!"
Zhuang's mother gave a thumbs up.
Everyone was really envious.
"Aunt Zhuang! Tunan will become a high-ranking official in the future!"
"Of course, of course!" Zhuang's mother was very proud.
"Grandma, grandpa seems to be calling you." Pengfei raised his chin towards the house.
“Leave him alone…”
"I'll go and take a look." Pengfei held Zhuang's mother's arm and led her to the exit. The other people went in like fish.
Zhuang's mother had no choice but to return home.
Mr. Zhuang sat in his own exclusive seat.
Tunan hasn't seen him for a while, and Xiaoting has been away for even longer, and she rarely comes back.
Every time Zhuang Chaoying wanted to take Xiaoting to the Zhuang family, Huang Ling would say, "Why, if our Xiaoting doesn't go, there will be no one to empty the spittoon, right?"
When Zhuang Chaoying heard this, he didn't dare to say anything else. He knew that this was one of the biggest contradictions in their divorce. Because Zhuang's parents favored boys over girls, and he didn't value Xiaoting, Huang Ling was angry about this.
Mr. Zhuang's hair was completely white, he was hunched over, and he looked at people with malice.
"grandfather."
"Grandpa."
The children called him, but he didn't answer and kept mumbling something.
No need to guess, everyone knows he is cursing.
Pengfei comes here often, at least once a month. He cuts the watermelon and brings it out.
"We can't finish it after cutting it!" Zhuang's mother was not satisfied.
"Grandma, I'm cutting it now because you can't finish it. We're helping you eat some. You can only eat one piece because you're afraid it'll get cold, so don't eat it. If you eat watermelon, you'll either be in the toilet or on the way to the toilet."
Pengfei made his own arrangements and didn't care about what they thought at all.
This is not the point, and Zhuang's mother withdrew her thoughts from the watermelon.
"Tunan, show grandma the notice."
Tunan handed over the brown paper bag.
Zhuang's mother took a look and said, "This is the notice!"
"Grandma, this is the bag that holds the notice. It's important information, and I was afraid I'd lose it on the way and not be able to finish my studies, so I didn't take it out. Look, this is my name, and it's written by the school teacher..."
Tunan explained.
Zhuang's mother was a little unhappy: "This is your mother's idea, going to grandma's house..."
"Grandma, you don't understand. How many people know that my brother got into Tsinghua University? If he takes out the admission letter and someone gets to know about it, they can snatch it away and get my brother's place in the school!"
This is a big deal. Look at this, my brother's name, his school name. Can you see it clearly? The teacher's handwriting is so beautiful!"
Pengfei interrupted again.
When Zhuang's mother heard this, she knew it was the case and said nothing more.
She changed the subject: "Tunan, you have such good grades. Your books, notes, and completed papers are all still there, right?"
Before Tunan could speak, Pengfei immediately took over:
"Grandma, why keep them after the exam? My two brothers packed theirs into a big bag and sold them all for me. I got $1.35. Look, I bought you some watermelon and canned food."
"What!" Zhuang's mother screamed.
The other three children's teeth were sore from biting their teeth that they almost suffered internal injuries.
"What's wrong, grandma?" Pengfei asked.
"No, how can these things be sold? Xiaoting and you still need them, right?" Zhuang's mother shouted anxiously.
"Grandma, I don't need that. My learning logic is different from my brother's." Xiaoting ate the watermelon core gracefully.
After Pengfei cut the watermelon, he scooped out the core from one side with a spoon and put it in a bowl, then gave it to Xiaoting to eat with a spoon.
"Then...then Pengfei doesn't need it?" Zhuang's mother pointed at Pengfei again.
"Grandma, I can't use the information about my brother who ranked in the top three in his grade. Besides, it's still several years away from the college entrance exam, and the question types might have changed by then."
"Well... there's always someone... there's always someone who can use it! It would be such a shame to sell it as scrap!" Zhuang's mother almost slapped her thigh.
"It's useless, grandma," Tunan said. "I'm the only one who can understand my notes. Others have to ask me what each word means."
Zhuang's mother frowned and came up with a plan:
"Tunan, isn't it summer vacation now? So, you can organize the important knowledge points into a book when you have nothing to do, okay..."
"Grandma, why should I organize that after I graduate? Besides, I still have a lot of things to prepare before I go to school." Tuanan immediately refused.
"Grandma, my brother is very busy. He has to go paint the garden. This is for his future school."
Hearing Xiaoting say this, Zhuang's mother was angry:
"You girl..."
Xiao Ting would not let her finish and said:
"Thank you for your concern, grandma. I'm fine. You should worry less at your age. Thinking too much is bad for your heart and blood pressure. Grandpa still depends on you to take care of him!"
Pengfei stood up and started to pick up the watermelon peels, and everyone stood up to help.
"Hey, you guys, are you leaving now? Come back after dinner..."
"No more eating, grandma, we have things to do." Tunan said on behalf of everyone.
"Grandma, I left a piece of watermelon for you. I'll treat the rest to the neighbors!"
Pengfei picked up the tea tray with the watermelon and went out first, then delivered it to Aunt Zhang's house as if he knew the place well.
Aunt Zhang asked with concern, "Pengfei, I hope I didn't cause any trouble for you!"
"No, the watermelon is very sweet. Aunt Huang asked me to say hello to you." Pengfei took out a can of candy from his pocket and handed it to her. "Aunt Huang asked me to bring it to you."
"Oh, she still thinks of me." Aunt Zhang accepted it happily.
The four of them successfully escaped from the dealer.
Hong Bin asked the other three, "What did you guys discuss? One sentence after another, all of them matched."
The three of them shook their heads at the same time.
"I see. I'm really only good at martial arts. I'm basically useless."
"You are the most important, you are our strength." Xiaoting said with a smile.
The four children smiled at each other again.
After receiving the good news call from Zhuang Chaoying, Zhuang's mother immediately thought of this business and wanted to sell Tuanan's books, notes and test papers.
Now all efforts are in vain.
Everyone went back home. Pengfei and Hongbin ran into their neighbor Sun Weihua before they even reached their alley.
"Hurry back! Teacher Zhuang and Aunt Zhu are arguing!"
