Chapter 194 I Don’t Want to Sibling with Xiao Ting
The early summer evenings are still comfortable.
Uncle Li, who was watching over the shop, was sitting in the house, occasionally fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
The workshop will soon reach the most unsuitable time to start work.
Huang Ling asked Li Yiming to buy several electric fans as backup.
Lin Wufeng returned home at 7:30. As soon as he entered the alley, he saw that the lights in the workshop were still on. When he got closer, he saw that it was Song Ying who was working hard.
"You are violating the rules!" The door was open and Mr. Lin walked in.
"Oh, don't worry about it, the rice is hot in the pot! Go and eat it!"
When Lin saw that she was not making clothes, he laughed at her and said, "It's even more wrong for you to do private work!"
"This is a diaper I made for Yuanyuan's child. She didn't prepare enough, and knowing we had cotton cloth, she was embarrassed to ask for it, so she cut up some old clothes. I told Sister Ling about it, and she couldn't disagree. I have nothing else to do, so I'll make a few and give them to Xiaoye tomorrow."
"No wonder Sister Ling always says you're kind and beautiful, it's true!"
Song Ying felt embarrassed and chased him away: "What are you talking about! Go eat!"
Mr. Lin returned home and glanced at Dongzhe, who was doing his homework.
When he went to No. 1 Middle School, the schoolwork was very intense and the teachers had high expectations. Even though he was a naughty boy, he was completely disciplined.
He did poorly on the final exam last semester and ranked third from the bottom. When his mother wanted to beat him, he started crying:
"Why am I not in the same class with Pengfei? Why am I in the same class with Zhuang Xiaoting? I'm so miserable!"
Song Ying raised a bamboo stick and cursed:
"You're still comparing yourself to Pengfei! Pengfei is tenth from the bottom and much better than you! You'd still get beaten if you were in the same class with him!"
Lin Gong walked over and touched his head: "You are desperately trying not to sit at the same table with Xiao Ting, right?"
Dongzhe didn't even raise his head: "Dad, you absolutely can't! Absolutely and definitely not!"
Xiaoting is third from the front and he is third from the back.
It is a tradition in No. 1 Middle School that the first-ranked and the last-ranked students sit at the same table, and so on.
So this semester, he and Xiaoting sit at the same table.
He dared not read magazines or play Gobang. If he dozed off in class, Xiaoting would elbow him. It hurt!
Therefore, he was determined to move up at least five places and stay away from Xiaoting, and he has been studying very hard recently.
"Okay! It's good to have ambition! You can do it."
The couple usually plays the good cop and the bad cop role, and they work together very well.
Mr. Lin went to the kitchen to get the meal and walked out.
Dongzhe called him, "Dad, where are you going to eat?"
"I won't disturb you from studying!" Mr. Lin said as he left the yard.
Dongzhe chuckled: "If you want to accompany my mother, then accompany my mother. Why are you using me as an excuse?"
He lowered his head to look at the geometry problem, and frowned again:
"No! I really won't! I'll ask Pengfei tomorrow. Uh, forget it, he's not much better than me. Can I only ask Zhuang Xiaoting? I don't want to! Ah~~~~~! Brother Tunan! Help! Yes, yes, yes, I'll go find Brother Tunan tomorrow!"
Engineer Lin brought his bowl of rice to the workshop, sat next to Song Ying, and chatted with her while eating.
"I'm too busy. I've left all the household chores and Lin Dongzhe to you. I feel a little sorry for you."
"I'm counting on you to make money! You're earning two salaries! How many people would envy you for that? Who has both a refrigerator and a TV these days? You can't find one even a dozen blocks away! Besides, this is our own business, so you'll definitely have to spend more time on it."
"Sister Ling and Director Zhou think highly of me, so I must do my best."
While Mr. Lin was eating, Song Ying was working and telling him about Huang Ling's plan.
"Sister Ling, this is really a plan that has everything planned out." Engineer Lin was very impressed.
"When we first started making clothes together, Sister Ling told me to be prepared because there would definitely be people who would buy our clothes and make the same ones, or even sell them. She told me to stay calm, but you can't just come and steal them, right? We are not pushovers, we're not pushovers. If you dare to pinch us, I'll chop off your hand!" Song Ying became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Yes, yes, this time we've made an example of someone, not bad, not bad."
"Now, as soon as those girls receive an order, they will take the initiative to sign an agreement." Song Ying found it funny to see the nervous expressions of those female workers.
"Sister Ling is good at this. The factory's management documents and forms are all written by her and Xiuyuan. Everyone thought it was very troublesome at first, but later they found that any record they wanted to check could be found right away. It's really convenient." Engineer Lin agreed.
"Just listen to her, it's absolutely right. How about it, is the rice enough? If not, I'll make you two more wontons."
"That's enough. I'm full now." Mr. Lin showed Song Ying the remaining half bowl of rice.
"Is Lin Dongzhe doing his homework well?" Song Ying finally remembered her son.
"He is working very hard! He said that he didn't want to sit at the same table with Xiaoting. But in fact, I think he is grown up and has self-esteem. He is afraid that Xiaoting will look down on him." Engineer Lin said with a smile.
"Yes! I told him that day that if someone bullies Xiaoting in class, you should say she is your sister and you must help. Guess what he said?" Song Ying lowered her voice and moved closer to Mr. Lin.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Lin put down the bowl and looked at Song Ying.
"He was so angry! He said, 'Zhuang Xiaoting is an excellent student, she only plays with excellent students, no one dares to bully her!'"
"Oh~! So that's it~! The hero has no place to use his skills!" It took Lin Gong a while to understand what Song Ying meant.
Song Ying blinked: "There are heroes beyond heroes! This requires desperate efforts to learn!"
The couple laughed out loud.
Lin Dongzhe really couldn't solve that question, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He took the notebook and went to find Wu Shanshan. He almost forgot that Wu Shanshan also had good grades.
After leaving the yard, I thought about telling my parents first and not looking for him later.
When I walked to the door of the workshop, I saw my parents leaning against each other and laughing. I shook my head and thought it would be better not to disturb them, so I went to find Wu Shanshan first.
After eating, Mr. Lin did not leave, but stayed with Song Ying to make diapers.
One uses a sewing machine and the other cuts the thread.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Lin's hands could grind iron blocks and cut thread ends!" Song Ying said with a smile.
"Hey, do you remember the urea pants Dongzhe wore when he was a child?" Engineer Lin suddenly sighed as he looked at the soft diaper in his hand.
"Of course I don't remember. Dongzhe was such a jerk! No amount of pants could make enough for him, so he had to make them out of bags his aunt had saved up. After getting to know Sister Ling, she told me that seeing the words 'Nitrogen Content Over 40%' written on Dongzhe's vest and 'Japanese Urea' written on his waistband made her feel really bad. And then she was kind of sad when it was all over."
"I know. She thought we were reluctant to give Dongzhe good clothes, so she made three sets of cotton underwear for him."
“Yes, yes…”
The two were reminiscing about the past when they heard the Wu family starting to make a fuss again, and the noise was quite loud.
Song Ying had just finished her work. She wrapped the diaper with some unused cloth and went out with Lin Gong to see what was going on. If a fight broke out, they would have to mediate.
As soon as I left the workshop, I saw Lin Dongzhe coming out of Wu's house holding a book.
