Chapter 5: Will the shift change affect my room allocation?
Zhuang Chaoying was embarrassed and pushed the door open and shouted:
"Huang Ling!"
Huang Ling turned around and made a gesture to slap him with a fierce look in her eyes.
This action and this expression reminded him not to forget the agreement between them, that his family should be the most important thing, and that he should not sacrifice or damage the interests of his family in anything he did.
Zhuang Chaoying thought about it and felt that Huang Ling might feel that this matter had harmed the interests of the family.
For a moment, he shrank back again.
Several students inside began to chirp:
"Teacher Zhuang, Aunt Huang's awareness is not high! Is it because of her lack of education?"
When Huang Ling heard this, her hair stood on end.
What
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
I'm a 985 graduate!
When I was in college, my part-time job was tutoring Chinese, math and English.
Huang Ling kicked the door open:
"What do you mean by high consciousness? We working the night shift workers don't have a high consciousness. Only those taking the college entrance exam have consciousness, right? If all the young people in the factory take the college entrance exam, who will work?"
"Auntie Huang, that's not what we meant. We just said that the college entrance examination is very important." Someone argued.
"It's only important to you. Helping you is a favor, and not helping you is our duty. I hope you understand this clearly! Teacher Zhuang doesn't owe you anything, and we don't owe you anything either! Instead, you owe us!"
"The neighbors are being annoyed! The two kids were sent outside, their faces chapped from the cold. Do you have a conscience? You have no conscience, that's fine. But think about it: if your mother sent you outside in the cold in the middle of winter just to chat with her little sisters, would you be happy?"
"Teacher Zhuang is willing to help you. I have no objection, provided it doesn't affect our normal lives!"
"Now! You have affected our lives and the lives of our neighbors!"
"If we get injured at our workstations because we didn't get enough rest, will it be blamed on you? If you are, that's fine, just keep going, and we won't say a word!"
Li Yiming was speechless.
One of the boys stood up and said, "Auntie Huang is right. We were too hasty and thoughtless. So, let's find a suitable place and Teacher Zhuang will come and teach us."
A few of them packed up their textbooks and left first.
Zhuang Chaoying felt very embarrassed and wanted to argue with Huang Ling.
"Are you looking for trouble? You've made life difficult for all your neighbors because of these students. They're scolding you behind your back, and you feel good about it, don't you?"
Zhuang Chaoying said with embarrassment: "I just want to help these students."
"I told you to help! But don't let it affect us and our neighbors. If they love learning so much, then create the conditions for learning! Don't let others create conditions for them! When they go to college and Tunan doesn't get into a good junior high school, you'll cry!"
Zhuang Chaoying now felt that what Huang Ling said made sense.
Huang Ling had to work the night shift, so she went to bed to catch up on her sleep and ignored Zhuang Chaoying.
He didn't know that Huang Ling was so good at speaking big truths, and her speeches were so logical and well-reasoned.
It's just too heartless.
Ever since Huang Ling went crazy on her mother's birthday, she has changed completely.
He felt that he should reflect on why Huang Ling became like this.
Two children were playing outside with the neighborhood kids.
Zhuang Chaoying closed the door and lay down next to Huang Ling, trying to ease the relationship between the couple.
As soon as he put his hand on Huang Ling, she shuddered.
Don't bother with paperwork!
"What are you doing!" Huang Ling suddenly pushed Zhuang Chaoying's hand away and questioned.
"I...I want to take a rest too..." Zhuang Chaoying said, wanting to hug her again.
"Go to your own bed and sleep!" Huang Ling shouted.
"A Ling, we are husband and wife!" Zhuang Chaoying didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
Huang Ling sat up suddenly:
"Oh, I can't bear the responsibility of being your husband and wife. I have to be sucked dry and insulted. Whoever wants to be your husband can be your husband. I will go and get a divorce certificate with you immediately! If I hesitate for a second, it will be disrespectful to myself!"
Zhuang Chaoying was shocked, not knowing that she had already had such an idea.
He was about to say things like "You are the eldest sister-in-law", "Suffering a loss is a blessing", "It's not easy for parents", "We can still live", but he knew he couldn't say it.
You'll get slapped in the face.
Did I really do something wrong?
Is it wrong to be filial?
Is it wrong to support my brother?
Zhuang Chaoying was thinking about how to answer Huang Ling when Huang Ling kicked him off the bed.
His head hit the cabinet, and he was so shocked and in pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.
He still couldn't understand why he could be angry for so long about such a small thing.
Zhuang Chaoying sighed deeply and sat reading a book until Huang Ling got up to go to the evening shift.
Seeing the cold pot and stove, he said to him:
"If I don't get up, you're going to starve your son and daughter to death, right?"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly replied: "I thought it would be in time if you got up..."
"What were you doing just now? Was it something important?"
"Reading."
“I would rather read than heat up a meal.”
"I......"
"I'm telling you, if there's nothing important going on, first check what chores you have to do around the house, and then read. Got it? Don't give me that old man shouldn't go into the kitchen thing! If you don't know how to do it, just learn."
"Oh, okay."
She instructed Zhuang Chaoying to heat up the tortillas and dishes, and then go to work on the night shift after eating.
When she got off the night shift, the director talked to her.
"Huang Ling! There's something I want to discuss with you."
"Director, please speak."
"It's about the shift arrangements during the Lunar New Year period. As you know, it's housing allocation time now. Although personal work performance isn't a hard and fast selection criterion, it's still taken into consideration."
"I know, Director. How do you want to arrange it?"
"You know, our sister Zhang is not in good health and can't work the night shift, so I want to switch with you. You can work the night shift on the 30th. What do you think?"
Huang Ling was surprised and asked, "Director, is the shift on the 30th now Sister Zhang will be on night shift?"
The director was confused by her question: "What's wrong? Yes, yes!"
"Oh, that's right. Yesterday I happened to hear Director Li's daughter-in-law talking about being scheduled for the night shift on the 30th."
"Ah!" the director exclaimed.
"Director, you don't know, I heard her relatives from her mother's side were coming here for the New Year, so I wanted to spend the New Year with them. I was so anxious that I almost cried. You know me, I'm very soft-hearted. If she cries, I'll cry too, so I agreed to switch shifts with her."
"You!" The director was speechless.
"Director, will this shift change affect my room allocation?" Huang Ling said anxiously. "If it does, I'll talk to her and see who's scheduled. Or I can apply for the night shift on the 30th myself. Is that okay?"
