Chapter 396 Zhuang Hualin Returns to Suzhou 2
When the children came back, they were very happy to see the potato chips on the table.
Sit down and eat with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
Although they can't eat spicy food very well, they all want to eat spicy food and make a lot of noise while eating.
Dongzhe ran out and brought in a few bottles of orange juice.
"Aunt, aunt, here."
"Why are you calling me aunt?" Pengfei asked in surprise.
"I've always called them the same as Xiaoting! Grandpa, grandma, and uncle, that's how I've called them since I was a child!" Dongzhe said nonchalantly.
"Okay, calling me aunt is nice, thank you Dongzhe." Zhuang Hualin said with a smile.
She also likes this child, he is cheerful and cute.
Dongzhe helped the two of them open the lid, then went to open the lids for the children.
Pengfei saw that the remaining ones seemed to have been taken out of the refrigerator, so he advised:
"Don't blame me for not warning you! If you eat spicy food and then drink something cold, be careful!"
Dongzhe said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid."
"Okay, Xiaoting, don't drink iced drinks."
"Don't worry, good brother, I gave her a non-icy drink. If I gave her a cold one, my mother would nag me to death. For her, the end of August is almost winter, and she can't drink cold drinks anymore." Dongzhe said, handing the non-icy bottle of soda to Xiaoting.
It turned out that of the remaining three bottles, only two were chilled and one was not.
Xiao Ting blinked at Dong Zhe, he saw it and said calmly:
"I think what my mom said makes sense. Xiaoting is a girl, she needs to take care of her health, and she can't get sick in her third year of high school. Forget it, let's not drink iced drinks anymore. I'll go get two bottles of cold drinks."
Dongzhe grabbed two bottles of iced orange juice, turned around and said, "Mom, you're here, do you want some orange juice?"
"want."
"Okay, I'll get it!" and then he ran away.
Pengfei laughed and said, "Dongzhe can feel Aunt Song's murderous aura from ten meters away!"
Everyone in the room looked at each other and laughed.
After they started eating, Zhu Xiu Yu came in to say hello and then went back to her work.
After Zhu Xiuyu saw off the last table of guests, she realized that Pengfei and Zhuang Hualin were still waiting for her. She couldn't help but wonder:
"Pengfei, Mom is very tired after sitting in the car for dozens of hours. Why don't you take her home to rest?"
Pengfei looked at Zhuang Hualin in embarrassment.
Zhuang Hualin said:
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Pengfei. It was me who said I couldn't go back. I sat at home and I sat here, resting all the time. I knew Pengfei would wait for you to go home together every night. Even if he sent me back, he would still have to come back to pick you up because he was worried. So we just waited here."
The three of them went home together, with the two mothers walking in front and Pengfei following behind pushing the cart.
Zhu Xiu Yu told Zhuang Hualin about Pengfei's daily life in every detail.
Zhuang Hualin said, "I know. You treat him well."
Zhu Xiuyu also knew why Zhuang Hualin came at this time, so she added:
"Don't worry, Pengfei will be a senior at the start of the school year. I can't help him with his studies, so it's up to Aling and him. But I will definitely make sure he gets enough nutrition. I've already bought walnuts. He should have three walnuts, a glass of milk, and two eggs every day. I also have fish two or three times a week. He doesn't like fish that much, so I try to cook it in different ways so he can eat more."
Zhuang Hualin was so choked up that he couldn't speak, and could only nod.
"But there is something I want to tell you, because I am afraid of some impact." Zhu Xiu Yu said again.
When Zhuang Hualin heard this, he looked at her nervously: "Sister-in-law, go ahead."
"It's about me and your elder brother. You should know why I let him live in the village house!" Zhu Xiu Yu's tone was full of helplessness.
Zhuang Hualin certainly didn't know what the problem or conflict was between the two of them, but she thought again, since they mentioned it to her and said there would be an impact, who else would she be worried about affecting? It must be Pengfei!
So, she figured it out and replied, "Pengfei should be quite used to his current life. He's in his third year of high school, so it's better to have nothing change and be stable."
"Yeah, that's what I mean. If your eldest brother moves back in, and your parents come to make trouble every few days, and I quarrel with your eldest brother about this matter, no one will be affected, but Pengfei will be affected." Zhu Xiu Yu's expression was serious and her tone was firm.
"Okay, I understand. I will go see them tomorrow. I can't take care of other things." Zhuang Hualin nodded quickly.
She knew very well what her parents were like. In order to achieve their own goals or to help the third child, they would not care about others, not to mention that Pengfei had never been in their eyes.
The two of them said everything they needed to say along the way.
After returning home, Pengfei went to take a shower, and Zhuang Hualin showed her the things he brought for Zhu Xiu Yu.
Mainly the pepper paste and glutinous rice cake peppers brought to Hongbin.
"I thought Hongbin was still at home! I didn't even ask." Zhuang Hualin thought that school would not start for another ten days, but he didn't expect that he had already returned to Shanghai.
"His Aunt Huang had something in Shanghai that she needed his help with, so he went back early. But knowing you were coming, she kept mentioning the peppers and told him to take them to school when he came back in two weeks," Zhu Xiu Yu told her.
"Oh, I'm afraid he won't be back until the New Year!"
"Hongbin comes back every month."
"That's filial piety, worrying about you."
"Yes." When talking about Hong Bin, Zhu Xiu Yu's heart and face were filled with joy.
Finally, Zhuang Hualin turned over his shirt, used scissors to open the inner pocket behind his pocket, and took out a wad of money from it.
A full three hundred yuan.
"The money I get every month is enough." Zhu Xiu Yu pushed Zhuang Hualin's hand away.
"No, sister-in-law, this is your hard work fee. I know it's not much, and your hard work is definitely worth more than these 300 yuan, but our ability is limited now, so... please don't refuse it."
Zhu Xiuyu waved her hand: "My salary is not low now. I take care of Pengfei and Pengfei takes care of me. It's okay."
"To be honest, we got a raise this year, so we're not so tight on cash anymore," Zhuang Hualin stuffed the money into Zhu Xiuyu's hand. "If you don't take it, Xiangdong and I will be upset! The things we brought home aren't worth much. If you use this money to buy something you like, we'll feel relieved."
Zhu Xiuyu looked at the money in her hand, thought for a moment, took out a few bills, and then returned the rest to Zhuang Hualin:
"If you had two children, I would have taken all the money. I'm partial and I would have kept it for Pengfei, but you only have this one child, so it will all be his from now on. The money is the same for both of us. You're in a harder situation than me, so you should keep more."
Zhuang Hualin held the money and looked at Zhu Xiuyu blankly.
"sister in law......"
"Okay, okay, put it away quickly and put it in your bag. Don't take it to the dealer tomorrow." Zhu Xiu Yu instructed again.
Zhuang Hualin silently put the money away.
At night, Zhuang Hualin lay in bed, recalling everything that happened today, still feeling a little bit unbelievable.
Pengfei was so cautious when he called her, but today when she saw the three children together, Pengfei was so happy and lively.
She always thought that Pengfei was afraid of being sent back to Guizhou, so he was very well-behaved. She didn't expect that he would fight at school, and Huang Ling and Zhu Xiu Yu would support him.
What she didn't expect the most was the relationship between Zhu Xiu Yu and Huang Ling. The two became close friends and partners. It was unheard of that a man's ex-wife and current wife had such a good relationship.
It is conceivable how unnecessary her brother is.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Hualin felt deeply sad for Zhuang Chaoying.
However, since she was back in Suzhou, she still wanted to go see them.
The next morning, Zhuang Hualin took Pengfei back to the Zhuang family.
