Chapter 1704 Xiaozhuang is in a miserable state, the bicycle is obtained
Zhuang Chaoying didn't come back for three days after leaving. Although there was one person missing from the family, Huang Ling felt particularly relaxed.
In the past, she had to worry that if she worked the middle shift or night shift, Zhuang Chaoying could take care of the children at home, but that is no longer necessary.
Because the three children have grown up, she doesn't have to worry about Zhuang Tunan's studies. As for eating, Zhou Chen can do it, and he can also help take care of Zhuang Xiaoting. So whether Zhuang Chaoying or not now has little impact on their family.
.
Anyway, neither Huang Ling nor Zhou Chen and the other three children felt any problems or were affected in any way during the past three days.
At dinner in the evening, Zhuang Tunan swallowed big mouthfuls. At the age of twelve, he was now half a boy and could eat a lot.
"Mom, I'll go home for lunch later." Zhuang Tunan swallowed the food in his mouth and whimpered.
Huang Ling's expression was stunned: "What are you talking about? Didn't mom buy you a meal ticket for No. 1 Middle School? Isn't the meal ticket not enough for you?"
Zhuang Tunan explained: "Mom, I have compared, one pound of food stamps, exchanged for one pound of canteen meal stamps, one pound of rice, one pound of grain stamps to buy one pound of rice, can make two pounds of rice, the difference is twice as much
, I’d better go home and have lunch.”
Huang Ling said: "The food in the cafeteria is not good, so you can eat it at home, but you have to take the bus back and forth at noon. Time is tight and it is very hard."
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of hard work. Many students in the class go home for lunch."
"If you are not afraid of hard work, then go home and eat."
Mothers are all the same. Although the school has a cafeteria, in their minds, the food in the cafeteria is not as good as the food at home.
Zhou Chen suddenly said: "I don't think taking a car back and forth is an option. It would be more convenient to get a bicycle."
"Buy a bicycle? You really dare to think that a bicycle costs more than 100, and the key is to get a ticket."
Huang Ling shook her head, thinking that her younger son's idea was good, but he was a little too naive. Their family didn't have the money to buy a bicycle or a bicycle ticket, so it was impossible to buy a bicycle.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Mom, if you believe me and give me forty yuan, I promise to get you a bicycle, but it won't be a new one."
"You want to buy someone else's old one? But even if it's old, you can't buy it for 40 yuan. If it's too old, it won't last long. It's dangerous and not cost-effective."
"It's not the shabby kind. It should be 60% to 70% new at least."
Huang Ling's expression became serious and she asked again: "Tuxi, are you serious?"
"Very serious, I didn't lie to you either, right?"
Huang Ling was a little hesitant. She did have forty yuan, and she was not worried that her younger son would spend the money. She was mainly worried that her younger son would be cheated.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still chose to believe Zhou Chen. After the meal, she quietly gave Zhou Chen 40 yuan.
As soon as Zhou Chen stuffed the money into his pocket, he discovered that Zhuang Chaoying was back.
Good guy, when I went there three days ago, I was still full of energy. Now when I come back, I have an unshaven beard, scary dark circles under my eyes, heavy bags under my eyes, and a look of decadence.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared to three days ago, Zhuang Chaoying seemed to be five years older. How much torture had he suffered in the past three days to become like this? Didn't he sleep?
Huang Ling was also shocked by Zhuang Chaoying's appearance. She knew that Zhuang Chaoying would definitely suffer when he went there, but she didn't expect that it had only been three days and it was already like this?
"Chaoying, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Chaoying said harshly: "I have been under a lot of teaching pressure these days and I haven't slept well."
I have to say that he is really 'filial', and he is already like this, and he doesn't want to say anything bad about it.
Huang Ling almost couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Even though Zhuang Chaoying didn't say anything, how could she not guess what was going on.
He finally suppressed his smile and asked as if nothing had happened: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll get you some."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, put the bag in his hand on the table, sat down on the stool, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhou Chen, he said with a straight face: "Have you finished your homework? Are you still not going to do your homework?"
Zhou Chen said: "I finished writing it a long time ago. Dad, don't you have to go to your uncle's house to take care of grandma today?"
Zhuang Chaoying's face instantly darkened, and a strong resentment surged up. The child's words were still so irritating. He knew that his youngest son did it on purpose.
"Children, don't worry about adult matters. After you finish your homework, go to bed."
Zhou Chen laughed again in a shameless manner. Under Zhuang Chaoying's angry gaze, he returned to the back room and lay down on his camp bed.
After finishing the meal and Huang Ling tidying up, Zhuang Chaoying brought up the topic again.
"I have to go to work here and take care of my mother. I really have limited energy and can't take care of my mother well. I think this is not good for our mother's recovery, so I thought about it, why don't I bring my mother here to take care of her?
?”
Huang Ling was not surprised that he would say this, because she had already felt it the moment Zhuang Chaoying came back.
"As I said last time, it's not that I don't want to take care of you, it's just that my family's conditions don't allow it and I can't live in it."
Zhou Chen sneered after hearing this in the back room. Zhuang Chaoying was an authentic person who said he was filial and was a face-saving person. Outsiders praised him for his filial piety, but in fact, his filial piety was outsourced to Huang Ling.
Huang Ling used to take care of the elderly at home, cook and serve water, etc., but she was the kind of person who was thankless for her efforts, while Zhuang Chaoying actually did not do anything at home except for giving her one-third of her salary.
, but in the end all the reputation of filial piety was taken away by him.
A perfect example of filial piety and outsourcing.
Zhuang Chaoying's already ugly face turned gloomy again.
"Then what do you think I should do? I have no time now. I can either go to work or take care of my mother. It's impossible to do both at the same time. You can't let me not go to work and take care of my mother, right?"
"Then how about letting Tusi go?"
Zhuang Chaoying couldn't believe her ears. This sentence really came from Huang Ling's mouth?
But he quickly realized that it was Tuxi, not Xiaoting. During the past three days when he went to take care of her, he was disliked by his parents and his younger brother's family. He couldn't eat well or sleep well.
If the younger son were left to take care of her, given his temper, he might start a fight over there in just one day.
Although the younger son is young, he is very minded. He really doesn't think much of his parents and younger brother if they really want to cause trouble. If the old man's legs are not taken care of by then, and it leads to greater conflicts, he will already be annoyed enough.
Okay, I don't want to cause any more trouble.
"no."
"I said it but you don't agree, and I don't agree with what you said either. No one can convince anyone, so you can figure it out yourself."
Zhuang Chaoying pondered for a moment and revealed his trump card.
"Then we pay for Qianmei and them to take care of it?"
Huang Ling was shocked when she heard this.
"Your parents used to live in their home, and all the pensions were given to their family. Now that mom is injured and needs no one to take care of her, they ask us to pay them to take care of her. What kind of logic is this?"
"That's our mother, the elder. We are the younger generation. Taking care of the elders is not the responsibility of the family. So, do you think there is any other way besides this? I asked you to take care of us, but you don't go and take them back.
You don’t want to either.”
"Zhuang Chaoying, you cover your conscience and say, what do I do to your family? I don't want to, is it just me who doesn't want to? I have to work three shifts, and there are three children at home to take care of, how can I take care of them? The family is so big, so how can I take care of it?
I don’t even have a place to stay when I come back, how can I pick him up?”
Huang Ling said coldly: "It's up to you, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, you are in charge of your salary yourself. I haven't seen a single point in subsidies for the two college entrance examinations. You can subsidize whatever you want."
, Anyway, it is impossible for me to give out a cent of my salary. With three children, my salary alone is not enough. If you want to let your children have enough to eat, you can go to subsidize it, that's up to you."
Although Zhuang Chaoying was very angry after what Huang Ling said, the three days of care had really tortured him. Of course, he could not neglect his work, so he would rather spend money to solve the matter than go there again.
take care of.
Xiaozhuang's words are indeed correct. His behavior is just like sending money there on purpose.
Zhuang Chaoying is really a top-notch person. She works hard and one-third of her monthly salary is subsidized to her parents and younger brother. She finally passed the college entrance examination twice and was exhausted. In the end, she didn’t get a single point of subsidy.
I took them home and sent them over there.
The most important thing is that they didn't think well of him at all, they just said a few nice words, and he was happy with it.
This kind of behavior is not just as simple as foolishness and filial piety, it is simply stupidity, stupidity, and a problem with the brain.
He has been accustomed to PUA since he was a child, and his outlook has become distorted. When doing these things, he is probably still feeling self-moved, self-defeating, and feels that he is great and how great he is.
Huang Ling didn't ask again. It was useless to ask. If her words were useful, their family's life would not be like this.
She no longer has any expectations for Zhuang Chaoying. The reason why she doesn't divorce is not because she can't live without Zhuang Chaoying, but because she can't bear to leave her three children. She doesn't want her three children to be laughed at and criticized. After all, in this era, divorce is still a
Very criticized.
