Chapter 517 This is not something he would do
During the Lantern Festival, everyone gathered at Suihua Tower to celebrate the festival.
Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin also came back to celebrate the festival with everyone.
The group's favorite Yueyue was wearing a Hanfu cotton-padded jacket with pink pompoms made by Huang Ling herself, and holding a rabbit lantern in her hand, attracting the attention of everyone on the street.
Her brothers and sisters took her to sell lanterns in the open space between Suihua Tower and the avenue.
The lanterns are battery-powered and also function as night lights. They are products of Zhisheng Electronics Factory. Because they are time-sensitive products, in addition to selling them in shopping malls, Huang Ling brought a batch and let her children sell them here.
Just for fun, sell as many as you can. The unsold ones will have to be put away and sold next year.
Passersby were attracted by the extremely beautiful and cute little girl on the roadside, and they stood at the intersection and laughed and looked at her for a long time.
"Uncle, buy a lamp!"
"Uncle is an adult and doesn't play with lanterns."
"Uncle, buy it for your daughter."
"Uncle has no daughter."
"Uncle, you will have it!"
Yueyue was soliciting customers in front of the stall, and conversations like this often occurred. People who wanted to buy or not all looked at her with a smile.
By the time we had dinner, we had sold quite a few.
Everyone jokingly said it was Yueyue's credit.
"Xiaohu won't help!" Yueyue's cheeks puffed out, and her face became even rounder like the full moon in the sky.
Xiaohu was called. He raised his face from the small cake and looked at Yueyue, trying hard to understand what she meant.
"What a busy job!" He raised the hand holding the small fork and said forcefully.
"Forget it, you're not very eloquent. I can't blame you," Yueyue sighed like a little adult. "Next year, next year you have to help!"
"Yeah! Just like that!" Xiaohu nodded honestly.
Everyone laughed as they looked at the child, who was of a different generation but only a year older than them.
Hualin and Xiangdong also came to celebrate the festival. Compared with the suffocating and weird behavior of the Zhuang family, it was extremely happy to celebrate the festival with these people.
Since the two came back from Guizhou, there has been no peace in this family.
According to Zhuang Chaoying, the unrest started before the New Year, not since they came back.
At the beginning, on the day when Tunan brought Xingyan home, Zhuang Chaoying poured a bucket of dirty water on her. Do you think Zhuang Ganmei and her mother would be at peace?
impossible.
How could they bear the loss of a long-term provider? Moreover, Zhuang Ganmei needed money and was anxious to turn his life around, anxious to make those who currently looked down on him look up to him.
On New Year's Eve, Zhuang Chaoying was alone, but he received a call from Zhu Xiuyu, who sent the staff on duty at Suihua Building to deliver New Year's meals to him, a total of four.
Zhuang Chaoying felt very satisfied and prepared to open the wine that Tunan and Xingyan bought for him and have a drink.
After thinking about it, he stopped again. He felt that it would be better to wait for Zhu Xiu Yu, Zhuang Hua Lin and Xiang Dong to come back, and then they could start together.
At least let them know that his son and future daughter-in-law came to see him and gave him gifts.
Just when he was feeling happy, Zhuang's mother and Zhuang Ganmei came to him and wanted to spend New Year's Eve with him. Zhuang Chaoying also did not open the door and just said that he would not spend the New Year with them.
The two men stood at the door and refused to leave, saying that if Zhuang Chaoying didn't let them in, they would stand there all night.
All the families in the alley were celebrating the New Year together. Zhuang Chaoying would feel bad if they cried, so he agreed. However, he did not agree to celebrate at home and said he would go back to Zhuang's house with them.
The two of them thought it was a good idea, and after Zhuang Chaoying got dressed, they went back to Zhuang's house together.
On the way, Zhuang Ganmei said, "Brother, please arrange what to eat on New Year's Eve."
"Okay, let's arrange it." Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
The mother and son looked at each other and knew that he was soft-hearted and wanted to save face. Now that he succeeded, he was very proud.
Unexpectedly, when the bus arrived at the destination, Zhuang's mother and Zhuang Ganmei got off the bus and walked a few steps. They looked back but did not see Zhuang Chaoying. After looking around, they realized that Zhuang Chaoying was still on the bus and had not gotten off at all.
The car door is closed and the vehicle is ready to start.
"Brother!" Zhuang Ganmei shouted and chased after him.
Zhuang Chaoying was the only one in the car. He asked the driver not to open the door, then stuck his head out of the window and shouted:
"I'm not celebrating New Year's with you! I'm not home, just go and make trouble!"
The driver probably understood what he meant and cooperated by stepping on the gas and driving away.
Zhuang's mother was shocked.
When the three of them left just now, Zhuang Chaoying specifically greeted his neighbors, so everyone knew that he had returned to the Zhuang family.
If the two turned back now, the neighbors would think there was something wrong and might even beat them out.
Even if they just stayed there and didn't make any noise, they didn't know whether what Zhuang Chaoying said was true or not. If he really didn't go back, it was impossible for the two of them to wait there all night during the New Year's Day!
Zhuang's mother had no choice but to say to Zhuang Ganmei:
"I didn't expect he was capable of this. Forget it, let's just live on our own. Mom will make you something delicious. This is your first New Year back, so don't get angry with him."
Of course, Zhuang Ganmei didn't want to wait outside for a whole day, so she went home with her mother.
Seeing his attitude, the two of them planned to go again in a few days.
Zhuang Chaoying rode the bus for several circles and finally returned home when the bus stopped running.
Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, he packed up his things and went back to school, taking over the duty at school from his colleague without asking for any duty pay.
In this way, although there is no on-duty fee, there is a place to rest and free food in the cafeteria, and most importantly, there is peace and quiet.
Until the fifth day of the New Year, he was reading books at school, chatting with the security guard, and helping to clean the school. He was living a comfortable life.
Zhu Xiuyu said she would be back on the sixth day, so he didn't return home until the evening of the fifth day.
During this period, Zhuang Ganmei and her mother came twice and squatted there, but they didn't see anyone.
Because Zhuang's mother came with them, the neighbors couldn't take action. They said a few words to them and told them that Teacher Zhuang had driven them away because they had a home and couldn't return to.
Early in the morning on the sixth day of the New Year, Zhu Xiu Yu brought Hong Bin back. As soon as they got back, they greeted the neighbors in the alley.
After going through the whole process, I know everything that happened during this period clearly.
As soon as she sat down, Zhuang Chaoying immediately told her about his heroic deeds on New Year's Eve.
Zhu Xiu Yu looked at Zhuang Chaoying with a different eye. This was not something he would do.
She praised him, "That's the way it should be. Think about it, if you let them in, will they still be able to leave? Would you be able to throw them or push them? You can't, and I certainly can't. Right!"
Zhuang Chaoying nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's what I thought. I would rather not be at home than let them in."
"Yes, and they want you to go back for the New Year. They want your money and your work. If you go back, you will buy the food, you will cook the food, and you will not get any share of the meat. All the meat will go into the third brother's bowl."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded again: "Yes, yes, I know."
"I'll cook today. By the way, when Xingyan came over that day, did she eat well? What dishes did you cook for her?" Zhu Xiuyu had been thinking about this matter. Although she had instructed Zhuang Chaoying verbally, she was still worried that he would not be able to do it well.
Zhuang Chaoying talked about them one by one and praised Xingyan highly.
"Where is the red envelope?" Zhu Xiu Yu asked again.
"I've packed it, one hundred and ninety-nine yuan. For a long, long time, right?" Zhuang Chaoying answered quickly.
"Well, it's good that you haven't forgotten. We have to make Xingyan feel that we value her." Zhu Xiu Yu felt relieved.
"Next time it's Hongbin's girlfriend's turn to come home, I'll know what to cook and how to give the red envelope." Zhuang Chaoying looked at Hongbin who had taken off his cotton coat and was sweeping the yard.
"Shu Yun doesn't like chicken soup. She loves the braised duck and cream cake I make the most," Zhu Xiu Yu introduced.
"Oh! Hongbin has a girlfriend too. Is she from Shanghai?" Zhuang Chaoying was also happy when he heard it.
"He's from Changzhou, a colleague of Hongbin. We're still talking. Don't panic." Zhu Xiu Yu lowered her voice.
"Okay, okay, okay, I get it. Let's wait until they settle down. It's great! They've all grown up, all right..."
"Dad, I'm going to buy some groceries. What do you want to eat?" At this time, Hongbin came over, put away the broom, and put on his cotton coat.
"Buy whatever you want to eat...oh...take the money..."
"No, I have money and I'm working now! How can I use your money? Well, Mom, how about I buy some ribs and you teach me how to make sweet and sour ribs." Hong Bin quickly refused.
"Okay!" Zhu Xiuyu nodded.
She smiled, probably because Zheng Shuyun liked it, as she liked sweet dishes.
Looking at Hongbin's back, Zhuang Chaoying felt a warmth in his heart, a warmth he had never felt before in the Zhuang family.
The family of three was just about to eat Hongbin's blackened sweet and sour pork ribs when someone knocked on the door.
Without thinking, everyone in the room knew that it was Zhuang's mother and Zhuang Ganmei.
Hong Bin stood up and said, "I'll go."
