Chapter 1708 Xiang Pengfei Arrives, Zhou Chen's Letter

A few days later, Zhou Chen went to No. 1 Middle School to take the exam. He was promoted from primary school to junior high school and finished the exam in one day.

He didn't take this kind of exam seriously at all, but Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying were very nervous. They had been waiting carefully for a few days before the exam, which made him a little uncomfortable. Even Zhuang Xiaoting didn't pester him these days. It is rare to enjoy the highest treatment in the family.

weekend!

Huang Ling worked the morning shift today, so she made breakfast early in the morning and went to work. After Zhou Chen and others got up, they all had breakfast together.

Just after breakfast, Zhuang Chaoying said: "Tunan, Tuxi, Xiaoting, you haven't visited grandpa and grandma for a long time. Let's take a car to see grandpa and grandma together later."

Zhuang Tunan nodded, Zhuang Xiaoting looked embarrassed and unwilling, and Zhou Chen was very straightforward.

"I'm not free, I won't go."

"Why are you out of time? The exam is over. How long has it been since you visited your father and mother-in-law? Where has your filial piety gone?"

When Zhuang Chaoying heard that Zhou Chen said he couldn't go, he got angry. In his heart, if everything goes well in the family, the younger generation should obey their elders.

But Zhou Chen was lucky. After such a long time, not only did he not want to ease the relationship with his father and mother-in-law, but he didn't even want to look at her. This made him, who always put filial piety first, very unhappy.

Zhou Chen didn't care whether he was happy or not, but he still had a filial piety. His filial piety towards his grandparents had already deteriorated a long time ago, and there was no such thing as filial piety.

"You really want me to go. If I go, if I say something wrong, I won't be able to control my temper. If conflicts like before happen again, don't blame me."

When Zhuang Chaoying heard this, his expression suddenly froze. Thinking of his youngest son's past 'great achievements', he was angry and his scalp was numb at the same time.

He didn't quite believe what others said, but as his youngest son, he really did what he said. He could do anything when he was really angry.

Although he felt aggrieved, after hesitating for a while, he snorted unhappily: "It's up to you, Tunan, Xiaoting, clean up and come with me."

Zhuang Xiaoting asked cautiously: "Dad, I feel a little uncomfortable, can I not go?"

"no."

Zhuang Chaoying's face was gloomy. He admitted that he couldn't control his youngest son, but now his daughter actually dared to do this, and his anger boiled out.

Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Zhou Chen with pleading eyes, and Zhou Chen would naturally not let her down.

"Dad, I think you can just take the boss there, Xiao Ting..."

"Zhuang Tuxi!"

Zhuang Chaoying roared angrily, glared at Zhou Chen, and shouted: "I have agreed that you don't have to go. Don't go too far. Don't forget, I am your father."

Seeing Zhuang Chaoying's furious look, Zhuang Xiaoting was startled and said hurriedly: "Dad, I'm going, I'm going, don't quarrel with your second brother."

That's right, in her mind, it was just a quarrel, not a father-in-law reprimanding his son, because she felt that her father could not control her second brother at all, and they could only be regarded as a quarrel, not a one-sided reprimand.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiaoting agreed, Zhuang Chaoying's anger slowly calmed down. He glared at Zhou Chen again with dissatisfaction, and then set off with his son and daughter.

They went in the morning and came back in the afternoon, but there were three of them when they went in the morning, and there were four of them when they came back in the afternoon, with one more boy.

"Second brother, this is my aunt's cousin, cousin Pengfei."

After Zhuang Xiaoting came back, she introduced Xiang Pengfei to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen saw Xiang Pengfei and showed a kind smile: "Hello, Pengfei, my name is Zhuang Tuxi. You can call me by my first name, or second brother, whatever."

Xiang Pengfei looked very cautious and timidly called out: "Brother Tuxi."

Xiang Pengfei is one year older than Zhuang Xiaoting and one year younger than Zhou Chen. He is in fourth grade after the summer vacation. This time it is because of the policy of returning educated youth to the city. His mother Zhuang Hualin cannot come back, but she wants to get her son back. This time One time, Xiang Pengfei was specifically asked to return to Suzhou to stay temporarily and test out the situation.

Xiang Pengfei in the plot is different from Zhuang's father. He is a very filial and good boy. When Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were not at home, he was the one who took care of Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling. Culture Although the degree is not high, the three views are very correct.

Take Zhuang Tunan in the plot as an example. His contribution to their family is far less than that of Xiang Pengfei. Zhuang Tunan takes more, while Xiang Pengfei gives more.

Of course, for Xiang Pengfei to stay in Suzhou, Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying really helped him sincerely, and he reciprocated the kindness.

Zhou Chen grabbed a handful of candies from the desk drawer and stuffed them into Xiang Pengfei's hand.

"Here, eat some candy."

Seeing that Xiang Pengfei was still cautious, Zhou Chen comforted him with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, just eat. This is for you as my brother, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Brother Tuxi."

"We're all brothers, don't be so polite, come sit here."

Huang Ling came home from get off work and saw that there was an extra person at home. When she knew what was going on, her face suddenly changed.

She had already had a strong rejection reaction towards the banker, so when she heard that Xiang Pengfei was the son of her sister-in-law, or that the old couple had arranged to come here, she felt uncomfortable at the first moment, but it was not directed at Xiang Pengfei, just at that person. side.

Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying had a few arguments about this matter. Now she was not used to Zhuang Chaoying and the banker. After Zhuang Chaoying asked unclearly, she decided to ask there tomorrow. Zhuang Chaoying had no choice but to agree. Go there with her tomorrow.

With Zhou Chen's help, Xiang Pengfei was not as reserved as when he first came, but he still didn't talk much. Basically, he said whatever Zhou Chen asked, and rarely took the initiative to speak. But it was not because he was afraid of Zhou Chen and his family, but because he was afraid that his aunt would not want to keep him.

When Lin Dongzhe heard that relatives were coming, he immediately ran over and chatted with Xiang Pengfei.

In terms of getting along with people, Lin Dongzhe really inherited the fine tradition of his parents. He is a very talkative person. After chatting for a while, he took Xiang Pengfei to their house to watch TV. Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting also went with him.

It was the first time for Xiang Pengfei to watch TV, so he was very fascinated. He didn't come back until after eleven o'clock. He and Zhuang Tunan slept on the wooden bed, and Zhou Chen still slept alone on the camp bed. The three brothers slept in the same room.

In just one night, Xiang Pengfei was full of good feelings for his uncle's family, because everyone was very good to him. Although Huang Ling's attitude was average, she didn't give him a cold look, and she also took care of him during meals.

So when he went to bed at night, he slept very peacefully.

The next day, Huang Ling went there with Zhuang Chaoying to ask for an explanation for Xiang Pengfei's move into the family.

Zhou Chen knew that she would definitely achieve her goal this time, so she was not worried. He made lunch at home, and the four brothers and sisters sat together to eat.

"Pengfei, eat more. We will take you out to play in the afternoon and see the garden scenery in Suzhou."

"Okay, okay, I always hear my mother say how good Suzhou is, and I have long wanted to see it. Thank you, Brother Tunan, Brother Tuxi, Xiaoting."

Xiang Pengfei was very happy. Although he was reluctant to leave his parents, after arriving in Suzhou, he also wanted to see the places his mother had been to before, and the places his mother had told him about, so that he could tell his mother and friends after returning.

After dinner, he called Lin Dongzhe, and the five of them set off towards the urban area of ​​Suzhou with great momentum, taking Xiang Pengfei to see several local attractions in Suzhou, and did not return until the evening.

As soon as I came back, I saw Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying had prepared dinner and were waiting for them to eat.

In the next few days, Zhou Chen and his friends took Xiang Pengfei to various places in Suzhou. Xiang Pengfei was very happy these days and had a very good relationship with Zhou Chen and his friends.

Before the college entrance examination results came out, Zhou Chen's results for No. 1 Middle School came out first.

The result was naturally no surprise, he was admitted to No. 1 Middle School.

For this matter, Huang Ling called Song Ying's family again in the evening, and the two families gathered together for a small celebration.

Song Ying said with a smile: "Now Tuxi has also been admitted to No. 1 Middle School, Tunan is not alone, and the two brothers can go to school and go home together."

Huang Ling smiled, and both children were admitted to No. 1 Middle School, which made her very proud. She now lives for her children in this life.

Zhou Chen said at this time: "Mom, I plan to get another bicycle during the summer vacation, and then I will go home for lunch."

Zhuang Chaoying said: "You can ride a bicycle with Tunan."

A correct version at 1619, 1 book, 1 bar!

"That won't work. We are not in the same grade or class. Sometimes we don't necessarily finish school together, or sometimes we have something to do, so it's not convenient. I can get myself a bicycle, and it won't cost much."

No. 1 Middle School is in the city, not close to them. It would be inconvenient without a bicycle. Now it's not that there is no condition, so there is no need for two people to ride a bicycle.

Huang Ling said supportively: "No problem, when you buy it, mom will give you the money."

"Well, if I need it, I'll ask you."

Zhuang Chaoying was also moved when he heard it, so he said: "Since you are going to assemble a bicycle, why not make one for your third uncle as well? My wife sometimes has to pick up the kids, and it will be more convenient to have a bicycle."

Huang Ling said bluntly: "No, why haven't you learned your lesson from the last time?"

Zhuang Chaoying said anxiously: "It's convenient, it's the same if you make one or two. We are all brothers, there is no need to be so formal."

Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Dad, last time my third uncle and his friends assembled two bicycles from me, I think you paid fifty yuan, did he return the money to you later?"

Zhuang Chaoying's face fell instantly, he was asking questions that were out of context, asking questions that he knew the answer to.

Huang Ling tried to hold back her laughter and said to everyone, "Eat, eat, Song Ying, I heard that you have assigned a few more interns to teach. How are they doing now?"

Song Ying sighed and said, "Young girls nowadays are so hard to teach. They burst into tears when I talk to them. I can't teach them at all. They are not like us in the past, when we were caught and scolded by our master."

"After all, they are still young."

"Yes, they are young. When I see these young girls, I think of how we used to work in the factory. We were also young at that time. We are not like now. We are old and ugly. Our complexion, skin, and figure are all out of shape."

Lin Wufeng immediately said, "No, my wife, I think you are still as beautiful as before, and you haven't changed at all."

Song Ying said angrily, "Nonsense, you always try to coax me with nice words. I am not blind. Can't I see what I look like?"

Talking and laughing, the meal was quickly finished. Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei left first and ran to watch TV.

Now Xiang Pengfei is a TV fan. He walks around Suzhou City during the day and watches TV with Lin Dongzhe when he comes back at night. The two of them are like a turtle and a mung bean - they are eye-catching and have a good relationship.

When the two of them watch TV, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng suffer because they can really watch it. They can watch it until eleven or twelve o'clock every time, and the volume is very loud, which makes the couple have dark circles under their eyes these days.

During the summer vacation, the Zhuang and Lin families expanded the toilet at the back and added a bathroom. Now, whether it is going to the toilet or taking a shower, they can do it at home, which is much more convenient than before.

A summer vacation is not long or short. Xiang Pengfei has lived here for more than a month. When the school is about to start, he must leave.

Before leaving, Zhou Chen gave him a few storybooks, and Zhuang Tunan, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting also gave him gifts, which made Xiang Pengfei very happy.

Before leaving, he gave the money given by his parents to Huang Ling. Huang Ling was very touched and temporarily accepted it, but when he left the next day, she returned it to him.

Before Xiang Pengfei left the next day, he bought cream popsicles for his friends who had played with him these days, and then said goodbye to everyone solemnly, with tears on the spot.

These days, Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei played the best, so when they parted, he was the most reluctant to leave, and tears flowed.

"Brother Tuxi, I can't bear to leave him. Will Pengfei come again in the future?"

"Yes, he will come again."

…………

Huang Ling and Song Ying were hanging clothes in the yard. Song Ying said happily: "Oh, the summer vacation is finally over. I don't have to face Lin Dongzhe all day long. I have been tired for the past two months."

Listening to her complaints, Huang Ling said with a smile: "The children are looking forward to the holidays, but we adults are the opposite. We are looking forward to them going to school."

"Of course, staying at home every day without going to school must make us parents tired Damn, Sister Ling, not everyone is as sensible as the three kids in your family, but you must have had a lot of fun this summer vacation. With four kids at home, you must be exhausted. "

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"By the way, Tuxi and the others went to visit No. 1 Middle School with Tunan, and they haven't come back yet? I really hope that this naughty boy Lin Dongzhe will study hard after visiting No. 1 Middle School, and it would be great if he can get into No. 1 Middle School in the future."

Because school is about to start, Zhou Chen went to No. 1 Middle School with Zhuang Tunan today, and brought Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe with him.

"Don't say that, Dongzhe is still very smart. As long as he studies hard, I think he has a great hope."

"He has a great hope? If he can get in, I..."

As the two were talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"This is Zhou Chen's house, right? There is a letter from his post office."

The two looked at the door and saw a postman delivering a letter.

Song Ying said: "We don't have anyone named Zhou Chen here? Did you send it to the wrong address?"

The postman looked at the envelope, then looked at the house number, and said with certainty: "Yes, it's No. 13, Textile Lane 3, isn't this the address?"

"Our address is No. 13, Textile Lane 3, but there is no one named Zhou Chen in our yard. Did you write the wrong address?"

The postman was also confused: "Yes, it's right, it's here, the address is written very clearly."
