At night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was even a roar of thunder, which frightened Zhuang Xiaoting and screamed in fear. Even Zhuang Tunan sat up from the bed in fright.
"Xiaoting is not afraid, Tunan is not afraid, mom is here, Tuxi, don't be afraid either."
Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were both sleeping on the big bed, and they were both close to Huang Ling at this time, while Zhou Chen was lying calmly on the bed. Huang Ling came over and saw that her second son had no reaction at all, so she felt relieved.
In the past two months, her second son has changed a lot. Sometimes she feels that Zhou Chen seems to be more like the boss than Tunan. He takes special care of his younger sister and takes good care of her very well.
Zhou Chen likes to sleep on rainy days. Even if it is a thunderstorm like this, some people may sound scared, but he actually finds it very interesting.
Early the next morning, before Zhou Chen went to the toilet, he heard Lin Dongzhe shouting outside.
"My dad flooded the yard, and the neighboring yard drilled holes in the wall, so my dad blocked the water pipe in our yard, and both yards were flooded."
This shout made the neighbors who came to collect water and go to the toilet very happy. They all asked what was going on. After knowing the reason, the neighbors laughed and thought Lin Dongzhe was so cute. They all watched the fun.
It's not a big deal.
"My dad said that fighting against the sky, the earth, and people is endless fun."
As soon as Zhou Chen and Lin Dongzhe left with buckets full of water, the neighbors started talking and finally came to the conclusion that Song Ying's family was a thorn in their side and should not be easily provoked in the future.
This is also the effect Song Ying and Lin Wufeng want. They will not think of bullying others, but they will not tolerate others bullying them.
Lin Wufeng's move was indeed brilliant. Wang Yong had never been shy when arguing and scolding Song Ying before, but facing Lin Wufeng's approach, he had no choice at all. He just said he was powerful, but he really wanted to
He didn't dare to take action.
Zhou Chen stood at the door, watching Wang Yong and Lin Wufeng begging for mercy.
"Forest workers, forest workers, please do a good job and unblock the water pipes, okay? Look, our house is already overflowing."
Wang Yong can't help but beg for mercy. The water in their yard is already up to their ankles, and the house is also watery. They can scoop out the water with great effort today, but they can't always do it like this in the future. Do they still need the furniture at home?
Lin Wufeng said very calmly: "The hole in the wall needs to be patched. To patch it up, cement is needed. It's hard to get cement now. When you get cement, I will fix the drain."
Wang Yong could only admit: "Okay, I'll go to the Real Estate Department to get cement. Okay, I will definitely go. It's a deal. Once you get the cement, you have to fix the drain."
"Then let's wait until you get the cement first."
Lin Wufeng turned around and was about to go back to the house. When he saw Zhou Chen standing at the door, he smiled kindly.
"Do you think what your uncle did is not very good?"
In his opinion, children are young and at an innocent age, so it is somewhat unpleasant to encounter such a dispute.
But Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "No, I think you did the right thing, Uncle Lin. You did this to protect our family. If others don't offend me, I won't offend others. We don't bully others, either."
We can’t let others bully us.”
Lin Wufeng immediately looked at Zhou Chen with surprised eyes. He really didn't expect Zhou Chen to say these words. Is this ten-year-old child from Sister Ling's family so mature?
"Tusi, you are so smart, and your words are good. I will not offend others unless they offend me."
After returning to the house, he told Song Ying about Zhou Chen's performance, and Song Ying also looked surprised.
"I think Sister Ling has a good personality, and I thought all three of their children are similar to her, but Tutsi is a little different."
"Yes, Tusi is two years younger than Tunan, but I seem to be more mature than Tunan. Of course, it may be that we haven't been together for long and don't know these two kids well."
"Sister Ling is easy to get along with. Teacher Zhuang is a teacher. Their three children are well educated. Unlike Lin Dongzhe, he is just a skinny monkey. There is no comparison."
Thinking of the banker's three children, and then her own son, Song Ying became extremely angry, fearing the comparison.
After Wang Yong was punished by Lin Wufeng, cement came the next day to seal the hole in the wall. Lin Wufeng did not continue and finished the drain.
The matter about the drainage outlet has been settled, but this news has also made the surrounding neighbors realize that their small courtyard is not something to be trifled with.
It was another weekend, and Zhou Chen's ghostwriting project had grown to ten people, who stayed together every day. His behavior was soon discovered by Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting. Zhuang Tunan learned that Zhou Chen was a helper.
Others were very surprised when they wrote it. They immediately said that what Zhou Chen did was wrong and told Zhou Chen not to do it again in the future.
But when Zhou Chen said that each homework was 20 cents, and ten copies were two dollars, everyone in Zhuang Tunan was dumbfounded, and immediately asked Zhou Chen what was going on.
After being discovered, Zhou Chen stopped hiding it and told about how he made money by ghostwriting. After hearing this, Zhuang Tunan was dumbfounded and muttered to himself with his eyes blank.
Zhuang Chaoying, who had been away from home for a long time, finally completed the college entrance examination and returned home carrying a pole.
Zhou Chen looked at Zhuang Chaoying, who he hadn't seen for a long time. Without Huang Ling's care at home, he was looking gray and gray, his hair was caked, and his clothes were dirty. It could be seen that during the days when he was marking the college entrance examination, he was really serious.
Many have suffered.
When the neighbors learned that Zhuang Chaoying, who was going to take part in the college entrance examination grading, was back, they all joined in the fun and ran to the banker's house to ask Zhuang Chaoying about the college entrance examination grading.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, Zhuang Chaoying feels that her status has risen again and again. Now she also likes the feeling of being sought after by everyone. She really doesn't refuse anyone who comes. She brags to her neighbors about what happened during the college entrance examination marking. When she talks about her pride,
Even more excited and dancing.
Zhuang Chaoying came back, and Zhuang Tunan could only go back to the small room and share a bed with Zhou Chen.
Huang Ling made the bed and then said to Zhuang Chaoying: "Chaoying, Tunan and Tuxi have grown up a lot. They can no longer squeeze into a small bed. Let's build a larger wooden board for them."
Bed, there's enough space in the back room."
Zhuang Chaoying took a look and agreed: "I think it's okay. They are both grown children. The camp bed is indeed too small, but where can we find someone to make this wooden bed?"
"Old Wu in front of me is good at carpentry. We'll go find him tomorrow, deliver some things, and ask him to help make a bed. It should be fine."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Zhuang Chaoying suddenly said with emotion: "Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, and with the marking of the college entrance examination this time, I think the country will pay more and more attention to the college entrance examination in the future, and the treatment of college students will get better and better, so I have been thinking about it these days.
We have decided to advance from primary school to junior high school this year and let Tunan take the entrance exam for No. 1 or No. 10 high school."
No. 1 Middle School and No. 10 Middle School are the best middle schools in Suzhou. If you can pass the exam, you will have a better chance of getting into university in the future.
"The college entrance examination is the fairest and an opportunity to change your destiny, so I hope that Tunan can be admitted to university in the future. Not only Tunan, Tuxi and Xiaoting, I also think about it. In the future, we must pay more attention to their education and study for university.
That’s the best way out in the future.”
Huang Ling didn't quite understand. She said worriedly: "But I heard that it is difficult to pass the exams for No. 1 Middle School and No. 10 Middle School. Will it put a lot of pressure on the children?"
"It's okay. It's still half a year before I'm promoted to junior high school. I'll look for opportunities to do some ideological work on Tunan. I think there shouldn't be much of a problem."
As a teacher, I have experienced college entrance examination grading and have had many discussions with many teachers. Therefore, Zhuang Chaoying firmly believes that going to college is the best way out for his children in the future. He hopes that all three of his children will have the opportunity to go to college in the future.
It has to be said that Zhuang Chaoying is more accurate than most parents of this era in terms of education.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the winter vacation. During the winter vacation, Zhou Chen's business became huge. Even if he applied for two yuan for a winter vacation homework, he still received more than a dozen winter vacation homework ghostwriting services. He made a profit all of a sudden.
More than thirty yuan is almost a month's salary of a regular employee in a cotton spinning mill.
On the first day of the winter vacation, Zhou Chen completed all the homework and ghostwriting. It was so easy to earn more than thirty yuan.
After completing his homework, Zhou Chen also started his own 'creation' when he had nothing to do. He knew that writing homework on behalf of others was not a long-term solution after all, and he had to rely on regular ways to make money. Creation, for him, was
A kind of business without capital.
There are no privately owned shops and canteens now, so if you want to buy something, you have to go to a state-owned store. But in this era, there is less meat and more people. If you want to buy meat, you have to line up in a state-owned store, and you may not be able to buy it.
Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng went to buy meat together. They queued for several days and couldn't buy any meat. Later, they stopped going and asked their children to queue up and buy meat after making sure it was available.

Lin Dongzhe is very happy to do this kind of thing. He likes to join in the fun. He goes to line up early every morning, and even drags Zhou Chen and others along to play while queuing up.
Zhou Chen stood in the queue and let the three of them play beside him. He didn't bring a stool, so he just stood in line, but unfortunately, he didn't buy any meat twice in a row.
When I went to queue again this weekend, I saw Wu Shanshan also queuing with me.
Although Zhou Chen didn't inquire, it could be seen from Wu Shanshan's condition that she was not doing well and looked quite gloomy.
He also heard it when he listened to adults' gossip. Ever since Zhang Amei married into the Wu family, Wu Shanshan and her brother had a hard time. They were pretending at first, but now they don't pretend anymore. What's good about the family?
They were all close to their daughter, and since Xiaojun was a boy, Zhang Amei was unfriendly for Wu Jianguo's sake, but she didn't treat her harshly.
Only Wu Shanshan, a girl who was unloved and unloved, became the one who suffered the most in the Wu family. She was not allowed to eat or drink, and she was ordered to work and do things.
Just like this queue to buy meat, she was arranged to queue up early in the morning, while Zhang Amei's daughter Xiao Min was still sleeping in bed.
Wu Shanshan, like Zhou Chen, both go to the attached primary school. Zhou Chen is in the third grade and Wu Shanshan is in the fourth grade. They are one year apart, but because Zhou Chen is a month older, the difference between them is actually only more than half a year.
.
"Zhuang Tuxi, why are you all here in line?"
Wu Shanshan brought a small bench, but when she saw Zhou Chen standing, she did not sit down and stood talking to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "I said I could just line up alone, but they insist on following me, and there's nothing I can do. Wu Shanshan, I think you haven't had breakfast yet, Nuo, eat a piece of candy."
There is nothing delicious these days. He always keeps candy in his pocket. He eats very little. Most of the time he feeds Zhuang Xiaoting, and occasionally Lin Dongzhe.
We have been neighbors for a long time, and Wu Shanshan was not as cautious as she was at first, so she accepted the candy from Zhou Chen.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Zhuang Tuxi, my dad is about to make your bed."
"Really? I really have to thank Uncle Wu."
Unfortunately, there was still no meat today, and several people returned disappointed.
But when they queued up again the next day, their luck finally improved and they had meat. Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Tunan immediately ran home excitedly to inform their families.
Although there was meat, you still need meat tickets to buy meat. In the end, Zhuang Chaoying bought two pounds of meat and one pound of ribs.
But even if it was just two pounds of meat and one pound of ribs, Huang Ling was happy enough. She could finally cook a delicious meal for her three children, and she could also make a lot of lard.
I can eat oil and water.
In the kitchen, Huang Ling happily sang songs and cut meat. Thinking about being able to stew meat for her three children and thinking about their happy smiles made her even happier.
But her happy mood did not last long. Zhuang Chaoying wandered to the back and said hesitantly: "A Ling, my parents said that they haven't seen Tunan, Tuxi and Xiaoting in some days.
, I miss my child so much, I want to come over."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked away, leaving behind Huang Ling. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, her eyes fixed on the direction Zhuang Chaoying left.
"You bastard, your family is all bastards."
It's been a long time since they moved here. They didn't come here before, but they came after they bought meat and smelled it. The purpose is obvious.
My child wanted to eat ribs and meat a few months ago, but she never had the chance. She finally bought meat, but her parents-in-law and brother-in-law all came over. What kind of meat could her child eat?
At this moment, she was really furious. She was really fed up with a husband like Zhuang Chaoying. Other fathers were always clinging to their wives and children, but Zhuang Chaoying was good at informing her parents as soon as she got pregnant.
Stay close to your parents and younger brother.
It is really rare to find a man with such a heart.
Thinking that her parents-in-law and brother-in-law's family were coming, she felt sick. She immediately put away most of the ribs and meat, leaving only a small piece of meat, which she chopped into fine pieces.
If you want to take advantage of their family, there is no way.
Song Ying, who also came to the kitchen to cook, was shocked when she saw the minced meat and heard what Huang Ling said. She had learned a lot about such shameless parents-in-law.
Before dinner, Aunt Zhuang, Aunt Zhuang, and his young son's family arrived on time, neither early nor late, just before the food was ready. Once they arrived, they could set a table for dinner.
