Chapter 149 Zhuang Tunan's First Love
When I got home and saw Old Wu squatting on the doorstep, I was furious.
He glared at Old Wu, then looked at his own hands, which were rough and black from washing clothes so often, and complained.
"Couldn't you buy me a washing machine? I wash your clothes every day, look at my hands! I should have known better. What good things could possibly happen to me? Bah! Song Ying and Huang Ling living together is really something, they always get all the benefits!"
Wu Jianguo was startled by Zhang Amei's sudden outburst of anger. He quickly stood up, grabbed Zhang Amei's arm, and pulled her into the house, whispering as they went, "Keep your voice down, or Teacher Zhuang might not hear you! Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Zhang Amei shook off Wu Jianguo's hand and sat angrily on the bed. "I didn't say anything bad about Teacher Zhuang or Huang Ling!"
Old Wu closed the door, leaned close to Zhang Amei, and whispered, "Their two families are so close, they know who you're talking about. Besides, Xiaomin is studying at a textile technical school, and after graduation she'll be assigned to a cotton mill. Who knows which workshop she'll be assigned to, working under Huang Ling and Song Ying. You'll see them all the time, so you really can't afford to offend them!"
After listening to Lao Wu's words, Zhang Amei understood the principle.
Thinking about my daughter's future makes me feel so frustrated!
But he could only suppress his anger, bite his lip tightly, sit on the bed, and sulk.
Unable to hold back any longer, he got up and punched Wu Jianguo a few times before he calmed down.

Today was a work-study-farm activity organized by the school. The students picked up their tools and came to the wasteland at the school gate.
Zhuang Tunan, holding a shovel, complained to Yu Tao beside him as they walked: "Taozi, you know, the school is like this, we only get Sundays off, why do we have to plant trees on Sundays! Ugh!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tao quickly tucked the shovel under his armpit and then covered Zhuang Tunan's mouth with his other hand: "Grandpa, could you please keep your voice down? You're afraid others won't hear you!"
Zhuang Tunan cried out and struggled as the cloth was smothered.
Seeing this, Yu Tao quickly let go of her hand and wiped the drool off his hands on his clothes in disgust: "Tu Nan, are you deliberately trying to disgust me?"
Zhuang Tunan chuckled: "Who told you to cover my mouth? I was just venting."
Wang Fa darted out from behind like a nimble monkey, grabbing Zhuang Tunan and Yu Tao by the shoulders: "Hey guys, let's team up in threes later!"
Zhuang Tunan and Yu Tao exchanged a glance and readily replied, "Let's go together!"
The three walked slowly. Wang Fa leaned closer to Yu Tao and whispered, "Taozi, Tu Nan, there are just too few girls in our class. There are too many wolves and not enough meat, not enough to go around."
Zhuang Tunan rolled his eyes at him: "You're a northerner, how come you want to find a southern girl? After graduation, we'll all be sent back to our hometowns, and we won't be assigned to the same places. Besides, our teacher won't allow us to date each other!"
Wang Fa looked bewildered and scratched his head: "What does 'friendship' mean?"
Yu Tao, standing to the side, added with a laugh: "Dating!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fa immediately straightened his back and grinned smugly: "Damn, isn't that just dating? I have a girlfriend!"
Zhuang Tunan and Yu Tao stared at Wang Fa with wide eyes, their mouths agape as if they had heard some earth-shattering secret. Their mouths were agape enough to fit an egg.
After Zhuang Tunan realized what was happening, he reached out and put his arm around Wang Fa's neck. He learned this trick from his father, which made him like to put his arm around other people's necks as well.
"Brother Fa, tell us about your girlfriend. Is she from our school or another school?"
Wang Fa deliberately tossed his hair and lowered his voice: "Jiaotong University, Accounting major."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tao immediately reached out and punched Wang Fa in the stomach, his face full of envy: "Wang Fa, you're a hidden talent!"
Wang Fa laughed as he dodged Yu Tao's punch: "We were high school classmates and neighbors. We've played together since we were little, and then we naturally got together. After graduation, once we've been assigned jobs, we'll get married."
The Youth League branch secretary, Zhang Wanshu, and the class monitor, Li Jia, stood not far away.
Li Jia cleared her throat and called out loudly, "Classmates, two people per group. There are two hundred saplings in total. Everyone come and get your saplings." Zhang Wanshu stood next to Li Jia, smiling, "Classmates, dig holes and plant the trees according to the marked locations!"
Zhuang Tunan did not make a move immediately, but stood aside, his eyes fixed on Zhang Wanshu who was speaking.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling directly on her face. The fine downy hairs were clearly visible in the sunlight, making her face look fluffy.
Both men and women admire strength, and Zhang Wanshu, who scored ten points higher than them in the college entrance examination, filled them with curiosity.
I started paying attention to her subconsciously after the last English interest group activity. Another time, I ran into her in the library and saw her reading Eagle Weekly. I felt that she had a unique charm.
He didn't know what was wrong with him; he just inexplicably wanted to understand her and get closer to her.
The students answered in unison, "We understand!"
At the command, the students sprang into action, and the open space became bustling with activity.
During the class meeting election, Zhang Wanshu unfortunately fell ill and took leave to rest in the dormitory, thus missing her first meeting with Zhuang Tunan.
He was so focused on his university activities and studies that he didn't even bother to inquire about this classmate he had never met.
It wasn't until that Eagle Language event that Zhuang Tunan noticed this elegant girl with bright eyes.
Holding the sapling, Yu Tao looked at Zhuang Tunan, who was staring blankly, and urged anxiously, "Tunan, dig a hole! What are you doing? Hurry up and get to work!"
Zhuang Tunan then came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Dig, I'll dig a hole right now!"
Pick up the shovel, walk to the assigned spot, and start digging a hole.
He would occasionally glance up at her.
Zhang Wanshu glanced at Zhuang Tunan out of the corner of her eye, smiled slightly, and then began to carefully dig holes and plant trees with Li Jia.
Zhuang Tunan was already in excellent physical condition, and now he seemed to have inexhaustible energy, so he dug much faster than the others. In just twenty minutes, he dug two standard tree pits, each half a meter deep.
Yu Tao put the sapling into the pit, filled it with soil, and watered it.
"I'll go get the saplings!"
Zhuang Tunan patted the dirt off his clothes, then walked up to Zhang Wanshu, the branch secretary of the Youth League, and tried to make his voice sound calm and composed: "Zhang Wanshu, I'll take the saplings!"
Zhang Wanshu raised her head and her gaze met Zhuang Tunan's bright eyes, which were also filled with some tension.
She smiled and handed him the sapling: "Zhuang Tunan, I didn't know you were so strong!"
Zhuang Tunan smiled and said, "I may not have much else, but I'm strong. I'll take five more!"
Watching Zhuang Tunan leave with five saplings in his arms, Zhang Wanshu couldn't help but smile.
