Chapter 81 Your Aunt Huang Looks Down on You
The two walked out of the park together. Zhou Huaiyi did not use a cane, but he walked in step with Huang Ling.
"Do you know who I imitated those steps I taught Jin Yan just now?"
"Donald Duck."
"you."
"I...I! When have I ever been like that?"
"That's how you ran when you were caught at Xuanmiao Temple before."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you are hallucinating!"
Zhou Huaiyi smiled gently and said nothing more.
The two separated at the park gate and went back home.
After a while, Zhou Huaiyi and Zhou Huailan brought gifts to Huang Ling's house.
Zhou Huailan has been here several times and is familiar with the place.
"Uncle Huang, I brought you some rice wine. I wonder if you like it."
"Great, that's what I like. Let's have a drink later."
"Great! Huailan said Auntie likes dried apricots. Here are two bags, one with sugar and one with pure dried apricots."
"Also, Xiaoting, come here, share the candies I bought for you with your two brothers!" Zhou Huaiyi took out a new type of milk candy and handed it to Xiaoting. She was the only one in the room, and the other two should be doing homework at the Lin family.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou! Aunt Zhou, after dinner, can you help me braid my hair? My classmates said the centipede braid you helped me do last time was very beautiful!"
"No problem! We'll do a different hairstyle this time. They'll be so envious." Zhou Huailan answered happily.
Zhou Huaiyi saw that Huang's mother was not at home, and she must be busy in the kitchen with Huang Ling, so Zhou Huaiyi went to help.
Only Huang's father and Zhou Huailan were left in the room.
Huang's father asked Zhou Huailan: "Will the factory director cook this week?"
Zhou Huailan said embarrassedly: "Uncle, my brother cooks in our family."
However, Zhou Huaiyi was soon sent back and played chess with Huang's father.
"Director Zhou plays chess very well!"
"I wasn't very good at it to begin with. When I was in the army, an old leader really liked it and insisted on playing with me. So I learned as I went along, and I was able to play a few games, but compared to my uncle, I'm still far behind."
"Not bad, not bad. Tu Nan and I went down without thinking, but I need to think carefully about it with you."
After Xiaoting came back with the candy, she obeyed Zhou Huailan. She didn't know what she said to Zhou Huailan, but she made Zhou Huailan laugh to death.
"You told me your mother's embarrassing story, aren't you afraid that she will spank you?"
Xiao Ting pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head: "Mom doesn't hit me."
"What's the matter?" Huang's father asked when he heard it.
"When my mother came back, she kicked a protruding brick at the gate and flew out with a cry of 'Ah'. She took several steps forward before she could stop. Then, I followed her and tried to save her. I flew out too and bumped into her. She..."
"I was knocked down by you," Zhou Huaiyi continued.
Xiaoting covered her mouth and nodded:
"Mom said, luckily there was no one in front of us, otherwise it would be bad if we kowtowed to someone and shortened their life span."
Everyone can imagine that scene, and feel both laughable and heartbroken.
"Oh, then I have to go and see if my knee is healed." Father Huang stood up.
"Uncle, I'll go! Please help me find a hammer or something."
"Hey, how can this be so embarrassing."
"It's okay, it's just a simple thing."
The main road is a cement road. There used to be a ditch on the side, which was later filled with bricks. However, it was not filled firmly, so it became warped.
In this way, the two of them, one holding a flashlight and the other squatting on the ground pounding bricks, walked from the entrance of the yard to the entrance of the alley.
Huang Lingzhan set the table and called people to eat. She stood at the gate and looked at the two of them.
The two of them came back after packing up, still discussing along the way.
Zhou Huaiyi said: "This is only a temporary solution. When children run or ride their bikes, their legs will still tilt up."
"I've talked to the Housing Management Office several times, but they said they don't have the materials and no one knows how to do it. I'll ask A Ling tomorrow."
"Well, you still have to fix it, don't fall again."
Huang Ling was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Ting betrayed me"
The two of them laughed.
Huang Ling said apologetically, "Director Zhou, I'm so sorry. I invited you to dinner and asked you to work."
"It's okay. I can earn it back by eating an extra bowl of rice later."
When we returned to the house, the dishes on the table were as rich as during the Chinese New Year.
After dinner, Huang Ling sent the two of them to the entrance of the alley before returning.
When I came back, I ran into Zhang A-mei. She asked, "Sister Ling, who is that?"
"Wylan and her brother."
Once, Zhou Huailan came to Huang Ling's house, and Zhang A'mei came over to sit with her. When she learned that her brother was the factory director, she exclaimed for a long time and envied the other person's good family.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Ling has so many friends. Why haven't I seen you invite them to your home before?" Zhang A'mei said sarcastically.
"Of course I'm generous, so I've made a lot of friends. Unlike some people who are always calculating, of course they don't have any friends. Not everyone is a fool. I didn't invite you before because I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would see me and gossip about me. Now, of course, I'm not afraid anymore!"
Zhang A-mei was choked and speechless, and changed the subject:
"I heard that Teacher Zhuang is going to take Tunan away from home in the future."
"Well, you're quite well-informed. You're paying special attention to me, right?"
"No, it was Tunan who told our Shanshan. When Shanshan heard that he was moving away, she cried all night."
"It's just moving away, is there any need to cry all night? Also, you shouldn't tell me like an outsider whether she cries or not. Instead, you should think about why she cries from a mother's perspective and what you will do next. Or, is it because Tunan is moving away, not because she's crying, but because of something else?"
"I......"
Huang Ling entered the yard.
How could Zhang A-mei not understand that Huang Ling was playing tricks on her? She was crying because she had been wronged by her!
When she entered the yard, she was greeted by a foul smell, but there was nothing she could do.
Huang Ling and Song Ying went to earn extra money without her, so she had to find a way to earn extra money on her own. Seeing no other way, she thought of raising some chickens and ducks like the rural people, and she could secretly exchange them for money. Even if she couldn't sell them, she could eat them herself and there would be no waste.
So now their entire yard is covered with chicken coops.
The family endured the stench and noise, which also affected their neighbors.
Song Ying had talked about them before, but there was nothing she could do. To put it bluntly, you can't control what other people raise at home.
As she was entering the room, she ran into Wu Shanshan, who was about to go out with a book in her arms.
"What are you doing?"
"If you don't understand a question, ask Brother Tunan."
"Don't rush me! Your Aunt Huang doesn't like you!"
"Mom, I just have a question."
"Hey, I'm your mom, I've been through this myself, everyone knows this! Why don't you ask your Aunt Huang? Aunt Huang has coached college entrance exam candidates to get into good universities! Tunan is just a junior high school student, what are you asking?"
Wu Shanshan blushed and turned back to the house.
"Even if Tunan's parents are divorced, their conditions are much better than ours! Just imagine what will happen if Teacher Zhuang finds another teacher in the future! Also, the man who came to her house for dinner today is the director of the machinery factory! You will never be able to reach him again! Don't think about things you shouldn't think about!"
Wu Shanshan's face turned from red to pale, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
