Chapter 118 Zhuang Chaoying has laid his cards on the table!
After dinner, the children conscientiously cleaned up the dishes, while Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling sat by the bed.
Zhuang Chaoying fanned herself with a fan and said, "Ah Ling, the cotton mill isn't doing well right now. Why don't you take a leave of absence without pay? We could start a small business. It's heartbreaking to see you working so hard at the factory every day. In this situation, maybe we can make things easier by changing our approach."
Huang Ling gently shook her head: "The factory isn't in that situation yet, let's wait and see, Chaoying. I know you feel sorry for me, but I've worked in the cotton mill for so many years, it's really hard for me to leave all of a sudden. Besides, what if the factory does better in the future?"
Zhuang Chaoying thought it would be strange if things didn't get better after hearing that.
Although I didn't agree with her, I still respected Huang Ling's idea: "Since Ling said she'll think about it some more, then let's think about it some more. But Ling, after your night shift tomorrow, please take a day off and rest at home. Is that alright? You've been working too hard lately, you need to get some rest."
Huang Ling put on a short-sleeved shirt: "Okay, whatever you say."
In the past, Huang Ling would go to work with Song Ying at this time, but today the shifts were changed, and she had to go to the night shift alone.
Zhuang Chaoying glanced at the clock on the cabinet; it was already 11:30, and it was pitch black.
How could he feel comfortable letting Huang Ling go to work alone?
"Ah Ling, I'll take you there on my bike."
As Zhuang Chaoying spoke, she pushed out her bicycle, walked to the alley entrance, patted the back seat, and gestured for Huang Ling to get on.
Huang Ling gently sat on the back seat, her arms naturally wrapped around Zhuang Chaoying's firm waist, her face pressed against his back.
The night breeze was a bit chilly, lifting the corners of their clothes.
Zhuang Chaoying rode her bike steadily: "Are you cold? If you are, hold me tight."
Before long, we arrived at the factory gate.
"Ah Ling has arrived!"
Zhuang Chaoying stopped the car and looked back at Huang Ling.
Huang Ling got out of the car, tidied her wind-blown hair, and waved to Chao Ying: "Go home quickly! You have to go to work tomorrow!"
Zhuang Chaoying watched Huang Ling walk into the factory before turning around, getting on her bicycle, and leaving.
Zhuang Chaoying went to the new courtyard first, and arrived at the gate.
He took out his keys from his pocket, found the right one, and gently inserted it into the keyhole. With a "click," the gate opened.
I walked into the courtyard, locked the gate behind me, then quickly walked to the door, opened it, and found the room completely dark.
He reached out and fumbled for the light cord at the doorway, then gently pulled it, and the room lit up.
Zhuang Chaoying walked straight to the basin, picked up a rag, soaked it in the water, wrung it out, and then took the rag upstairs.
At the door of the room on the left, reach out and push the door open.
The room smelled slightly dusty because it had been unoccupied for a long time.
He walked to the bedside and wiped the dust off the bed.
After wiping the bed, Zhuang Chaoying sat on the edge of the bed and selected two sets of double mattresses and quilts, as well as a basin, from the system store.
He neatly spread one set on the bed and carried the other set to the next room.
After doing all this, I turned off the lights and went downstairs.
After checking that the door was locked, I felt relieved and got on my bicycle to head home.
Stop pretending!
Zhuang Chaoying has finally come clean. He had been making excuses all along, but in reality, he's someone who enjoys this kind of thing.
He cherishes every moment with Ah Ling; he just wants to be with her all the time, he's hopelessly addicted.
Even if he has a different soul at heart, he has long been accustomed to this body and to life here. And loving someone is probably like this: you can't help but want to get close to her and cling to her.
From the end of June until now, they've been celibate for so long in preparation for Tu Nan's college entrance exam. It's only natural that they would have these thoughts now.
Screw the mission, screw the system!
He fell in love with this living, breathing Ah Ling, and with his two children.
She wanted to thank Zhuang Chaoying for giving her his body; at that moment, she was him!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Huang Ling finished her night shift.
When I got to the alley entrance, I saw my son again, with a banner announcing that he had been admitted to university. I was overjoyed.
We walked into Yiming's small shop in the alley.
Huang Ling walked up to the public telephone placed at the store entrance, skillfully picked up the receiver, and dialed the phone number of the convenience store downstairs from her parents' house.
"Hello, I'm looking for Huang Defa on the third floor of Unit 1, Building 1. I'm his youngest daughter."
After saying that, she quietly hung up the phone and stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting for the other end to call.
Just then, Grandpa Li from the convenience store came out from the back room and saw Huang Ling: "Huang Ling, congratulations! Your son Tu Nan is the first college student in our alley!"
Huang Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Li. This child is doing well and is very studious."
Grandpa Li put orange juice and beer into the freezer: "You're going to tell your parents the good news, right? They'll be overjoyed when they find out!"
Huang Ling nodded: "Yes, let my parents be happy too! They've always hoped their children would be successful, and this has finally fulfilled one of their wishes."
"Ring ring ring!" The clear sound of the telephone ringing suddenly rang out.
Huang Ling quickly picked up the phone, pressing the receiver tightly to her ear: "Hello!"
The voice of Huang's mother came from the other end of the phone: "Is this... Ah Ling?"
Huang Ling's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "Mom, it's me! I have good news for you. Tu Nan got into Tongji University."
Upon hearing the news, Huang's mother on the other end of the phone gripped the shop table tightly with joy: "That's wonderful, Ah Ling! Your dad went out for a walk. I'll tell him when he gets back! This child has truly brought honor to our family!"
"Mom, if you and Dad are free, come and stay for a while. Tu Nan and Xiao Ting are both on vacation, so the whole family can have a good reunion."
Huang's mother was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her hand and gently wiped away her tears, her voice choked with emotion: "Ah Ling, do you have a place to stay? Don't make it too crowded, so as not to cause you any trouble."
"Yes, Mom and Dad, come over. We've been looking forward to your arrival."
"Okay, I'll talk to your dad when he gets back. You should also take care of yourself and not overwork yourself."
Huang Ling hung up the phone and paid six cents.
Walking happily home, I saw a note left by Chaoying on the table. "Ah Ling, the pan-fried buns and steamed eggs I bought this morning are still warm in the pot. Eat them as soon as you get home, then go to sleep. Love, Chaoying!"
Huang Ling smiled and tucked the note into her notebook.
After eating pan-fried dumplings and steamed egg custard, I changed my clothes and fell into a deep sleep in bed.
