Chapter 259: With the neighbor's compliments, he came back to life
Zhuang Chaoying was furious, but Zhu Xiuyu just watched calmly.
Finally, he said he was tired, walked into Pengfei's room, closed the door, and lay down on Tuanan's bed.
Zhu Xiu Yu stood up, read the notice again, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She pushed open the door and saw two children standing in the yard.
"Aunt, I'll go buy some groceries and cook tonight," Pengfei suggested.
"Okay," Zhu Xiuyu took out some money from her pocket and handed it to Pengfei. "Pengfei, please go buy some cooked food. We can cook some rice and stir-fry some vegetables. We have some at home."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Pengfei took the money, got on his bike, and went to buy groceries.
Zhu Xiu Yu looked at her son, choking with sobs. She could only step aside to let Hong Bin enter the house, and then pointed to the notice on the table.
Hongbin was excited at first, but after listening to the two people arguing in the yard, he calmed down a little.
He read the notice quietly and looked at his mother. The mother and son hugged each other and cried silently.
Zhu Xiu Yu pulled Hong Bin and they both walked to the stone bench at the entrance of the alley and sat down before they began to talk.
"Shanghai is good. It's not far away. If you have anything, just call me and I can take a car there on the same day. It would be great if I could stay in Shanghai in the future. It's a big and good place." Zhu Xiu Yu murmured.
"Mom, you haven't been to Shanghai yet. Please take me to school! Let's go and see the school. I'll buy the ticket. I have money."
Hongbin wanted to take his mother to see his school, so he started collecting waste with Pengfei and Dongzhe to sell it and save money.
"Okay, Mom wants to go. You can keep the money. Mom has money." Zhu Xiu Yu held her son's hand.
"Dad is very angry, what should I do?"
"How long can you be angry? No, it will be fine tomorrow." Zhu Xiu Yu comforted.
The two stood up and went to the convenience store across the street.
The shop owner asked, "Ms. Zhu, I saw a postman calling Hongbin's name during the day. Did he receive his admission letter?"
"Yes! A key university in Shanghai."
"Oh my God! Your child is so amazing! Congratulations! Our A Quan will definitely learn from you someday." The convenience store owner was very envious.
Hongbin called Tuanan and told him that he had also received an admission letter.
The boss still hadn't collected the phone bill, so Zhu Xiu Yu bought two bottles of soda.
The two of them sat back at the entrance of the alley. She gave a bottle of soda to Hongbin and put the other one at her feet.
When people passed by on the road, most of them would ask about the notice when they saw Hong Bin. Zhu Xiu Yu politely told everyone that they had received it.
When Pengfei came back from buying groceries on his bike and stopped beside them, she handed him another bottle of soda.
Just now, an acquaintance on the road called Pengfei: "Where is Pengfei?"
He said generously, "My brother Hongbin got admitted to a university in Shanghai. We'll have extra food tonight!"
After the convenience store owner, Pengfei, and the students who came to class today spread the news, everyone in the surrounding alleys knew the news.
Everyone thinks that Tuanan’s admission to Tsinghua University may not only be due to Zhuang Chaoying’s contribution, because Tuanan was picked up by his mother half a year ago.
However, Hongbin is different. He has always been tutored by Zhuang Chaoying.
Therefore, Zhuang Chaoying only slept in the house for an hour or so, and before he could even cook dinner, someone came to ask for advice.
He had no choice but to get up from the house.
As soon as he arrived, a room full of people came and praised him with compliments, which made Zhuang Chaoying come alive again. He began to talk incessantly and give advice on the country.
Hongbin and Pengfei helped Zhu Xiuyu cook in the kitchen.
Zhuang Chaoying called out from the outer room, "Hongbin, come here."
Hongbin put down the work in his hands and went to the room over there.
He felt embarrassed when everyone praised him.
"Hongbin, how do you usually study? Tell us." Sun Weihua asked.
Hong Bin waved his hands quickly. "I don't know anything. It's Dad who accompanies me to study every day. He makes my daily and monthly review plans for me, and I do whatever he tells me to do."
"I don't have this thing in my plan... no wonder..." Sun Weihua thought for a moment.
"You just mess around all day long! You didn't learn what you should have learned, and learned what you shouldn't have learned. This is not okay!" Sun Lianggeng glared at his son.
He then said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Director Zhuang, could you please also help this kid come up with a plan..."
Zhuang Chaoying took over at this time and began to talk about how everyone can make a study and review plan.
In fact, Zhuang Chaoying also learned from Tunan, and Tunan learned from Huang Ling.
It was not until the smell of food wafted into the house and everyone felt hungry that they realized it was time for dinner and left.
Only Zhuang Chaoying and Hong Bin were left in the room.
Hong Bin was arranging the stools in the room and setting the table for dinner. Zhuang Chaoying wanted to go in again, but Hong Bin stopped him:
"dad."
Zhuang Chaoying turned around.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't do this right. I should have discussed such a big thing with you and shouldn't have acted on my own. I know you're doing this for my own good. I'll always remember your kindness. I'll definitely be filial to you in the future. You won't have raised me in vain."
Hongbin's attitude was very sincere.
Zhuang Chaoying was satisfied with this honest child. He also knew that Zhu Xiuyu was the instigator of this incident, and Hongbin would not disobey her mother.
"Please, don't be angry with Mom, it's all my fault..."
Zhuang Chaoying sighed softly: "It's none of your business, don't worry about it."
He went back to Pengfei's room and stayed there until Pengfei came to call him for dinner. After dinner, he went back to Pengfei's room and did not come out at night. He slept in Pengfei's room.
The next day when he got up, Pengfei was the only one at home. He thought Hongbin must have gone to set up a stall with Zhu Xiu Yu.
In fact, Zhu Xiu Yu took Hong Bin to visit his father's grave early in the morning.
Hongbin listened to Zhu Xiuyu chattering with her father for a long time.
After returning, the two did not go home, but went to the garment factory.
As soon as Mr. Zhang saw Hongbin, he said, "Hongbin is here to announce the good news!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I passed the exam." Hongbin answered happily.
Huang Ling came out of the office and looked at Hongbin with a smile.
"Auntie Huang!" Hongbin stepped forward and took out the admission notice wrapped in several layers from his bag and showed it to Huang Ling.
"I knew you would choose this school." Huang Ling said with a smile on her face.
There was also a school in the north in her plan, but Huang Ling guessed that Hongbin would most likely choose the one in Shanghai because it was closer to home and he could take care of his mother.
"Thank you, Aunt Huang!"
"You're welcome, you deserve it. Go, open the watermelon and let the aunts and sisters taste the watermelon you bought!"
"Okay!" Hongbin handed the notice to his mother, rewrapped it, and ran to open the watermelon.
The two of them just bought a dozen watermelons.
Hongbin and Uncle Zhang cut some watermelon and treated the factory workers to some.
Wu Shanshan was also working in the factory. When she saw him coming, she knew that it was successful and was happy for him.
The two sat together and chatted while eating watermelon.
Hong Bin said, "I never thought I could go to a school of this caliber. I still feel like I'm dreaming. It's unreal."
"You are so happy, and I am happy for you too."
"But don't worry. Just choose the best school based on your grades."
Wu Shanshan smiled and said, "I still envy you for having such a good mother. Teacher Zhuang is also very good to you."
"Don't worry about going to college in another city. If you have any problems, ask Wu Jun to find Dongzhe and Pengfei. I'm nearby and can be back in a few hours." Hongbin promised.
Because he was familiar with these people, he gradually understood Wu Shanshan's situation.
Wu Shanshan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Hongbin. I feel very relieved to have you guys to rely on. Yes, I want the best! When I start working, I will repay you well."
"What's the point of repaying or not repaying? You're overthinking it!"
In the negotiation room, Huang Ling and Zhu Xiu Yu were eating the watermelon cores that Hong Bin had just brought over, one bowl each.
This is what Hongbin learned from Pengfei.
"Where did you learn this?" Zhu Xiu Yu asked in surprise.
"Learn it from Tunan. When we eat watermelon at home, Director Zhou and Tunan scoop out the core first and give it to Xiaoting, Huailan and me, while the other two eat the leftovers."
"Oh~!" Zhu Xiu Yu understood now.
Huang Ling asked again: "Zhuang Chaoying didn't make trouble with you?"
