Chapter 1686 Tutor? A Useless Man Who Protects His Child
After a long while, the entire Zhuang family was sitting in the house. Father Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang both had a caring smile on their faces, greeting their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Huang Ling took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to prepare. As the host, Zhuang Qianmei and his wife sat calmly, eating melon seeds and chatting.
Father Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang were like old ladies. Sitting there, even Zhuang Chaoying didn't feel anything was wrong. They kept complimenting their parents, and the "family" was talking and laughing.
Zhou Chen just sat there for a while and then he couldn't stand it anymore. Watching a drama is just watching a drama after all. In reality, being a family member with such people, and being the one who is being persecuted, it will definitely be difficult to talk to them calmly.
Moreover, Zhou Chen clearly felt that the two old men of the Zhuang family were good to their eldest grandson, Zhuang Tunan, but they were obviously not as good as Zhuang Tunan to him. They were just smiling but not smiling to Zhuang Xiaoting. Not as close to the two grandsons Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei.
The two generations of the Zhuang family, the old couple and three children of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Chaoying graduated from a technical secondary school, and the others did not have much education.
Zhuang Tunan, this far-reaching name Tunan was given by Huang Ling's father. It was taken from "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", which is described as having lofty ambitions.
After taking the name Zhuang Tunan, the boys of this generation were named in the four directions of southeast, northwest, among which Zhuang Tunan was the oldest, Zhou Chen and Zhuang Zhendong were the same age, and Zhenbei was a little older than Zhuang Xiaoting.
He was too lazy to listen to his third uncle Zhuang Qianmei bragging about how awesome he was in the factory. Zhou Chen stood up and walked out of the house to the kitchen. When Zhuang Xiaoting saw her second brother left, she also stood up and followed him. passed.
In the kitchen, Huang Ling had just finished killing the chicken and was preparing to scald it with boiling water to pluck the feathers when she saw a pair of children walking in.
"Tuxi, Xiaoting, what's wrong?"
Zhou Chen said: "Mom, let me help you."
Zhuang Xiaoting also said crisply: "Me too."
Huang Ling gently stroked the heads of the two children: "Good kids, but mom doesn't need your help. You can go play."
Zhou Chen glanced at the hen that was scalded in boiling water in a basin, and sat down on the small bench.
"I'll pluck the chicken feathers."
As he said that, he was about to take action. Huang Ling was so frightened that she quickly stopped her: "It's hot, you kid. There is boiling water in here. It's very hot. Don't burn your hands."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm strong."
Huang Ling felt sorry for her children and didn't want her children to take action, but Zhou Chen took action immediately. Seeing that Zhou Chen was doing well, Huang Ling did not stop her. She looked at her children squatting together and laughing and plucking chicken feathers, with a look on her face. He showed a soft and happy smile.
As a mother, she didn't want her children to help her with housework, but her children were sensible and took the initiative to help her, which made her feel happy. With her children helping her, she seemed to have more strength and continued to make birthday cakes with a smile.
In this era, cooking is still quite troublesome, and you still need to light a fire and start the stove. Unlike a few decades later, when you turn on the gas stove, you can cook it quickly.
After plucking the chicken feathers, Zhou Chen took Zhuang Xiaoting and sat behind the stove to light the fire. While lighting the fire, Zhou Chen used the blackened charcoal to write on the ground to teach Zhuang Xiaoting how to read.
Zhou Chen has taken care of too many children. Teaching Zhuang Xiaoting, who is only in the first grade, is naturally a matter of course. Zhuang Xiaoting happens to be an obedient child who loves to learn, so she follows Zhou Chen very seriously.
Huang Ling looked at such a harmonious scene, and the smile on her face became even brighter. It would be better if she was not at Zhuang Adi's place, but at her own home.
Thinking of this, she became even more anxious, because it was soon time to allocate rooms in the factory again, and she didn't know if she could get a room in this batch.
"Second brother, you are so good. You are better than the eldest brother and the teacher."
After studying for a while, Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Zhou Chen with admiration and said what she was thinking frankly.
Zhou Chen smiled. If he couldn't compare to his teacher and Zhuang Tunan, wouldn't his life have been in vain these past few hundred years?
It's really nice to have a little soft sister, but it's a pity that in the real world, his parents didn't give him a sister, but gave him a sister who only bullied him and told him to do bad things since he was a child.
Soon it was dinner time. The family sat at a square table. Huang Ling brought birthday cakes and vegetables to the table. Zhou Chen also walked into the room with Zhuang Xiaoting.
When I walked in, I saw people sitting around the table. Except for one person and two children in their family who were not at the table, everyone else had already sat down.
Grandma Zhuang sat there comfortably and said in a fake tone: "A-Ling has been busy in the kitchen all afternoon. It's hard work."
Huang Ling replied: "It's not hard, Mom, Tu Xi and Xiao Ting helped me a lot."
Grandma Zhuang said lightly again: "They are all good children."
Zhuang Chaoying winked at her eldest son beside her, and Zhuang Tunan immediately stood up obediently and blessed loudly.
"I wish grandma good health."
Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei followed closely behind.
"Long life." "Always smile."
Zhou Chen and Zhuang Xiaoting also followed suit.
"A loving mother and a filial son."
"May all go well with you."
They were all words of blessing, but for some reason, Grandma Zhuang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Zhou Chen's words of blessing about a loving mother and a filial son. However, she didn't pay much attention to it and praised him with a smile.
Zhuang Chaoying glanced at Zhou Chen. A loving mother and a filial son didn't sound like a blessing, but seeing the sincerity on Zhou Chen's face, he couldn't correct it in front of everyone.
Zhuang's father looked at the dishes on the table and began to say nice things.
"A Ling's chicken is good, and the birthday cake is also beautiful."
"It's not because you are at work. According to custom, you have to eat two meals. Those who are more particular will also invite the Tangming master to sing the Eight Immortals at home to celebrate the birthday."
Zhou Chen shook his head after hearing this. You also know that they are a particular family. Fortunately, they have some self-knowledge, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble they will make.
Before Zhou Chen and his mother and son sat down at the table, under the command of Zhuang's father and grandmother, they had already started to move their chopsticks.
When Huang Ling served the noodles, she turned around and saw that there was no place to sit. Not only her, but also her son and daughter had not sat down at the table.
Zhuang Tunan was quite perceptive. He stood up immediately and said, "Mom, sit here with me."
Zhuang Chaoying also wanted to stand up and speak, but was pushed down on the stool by Grandma Zhuang. Father Zhuang ignored Huang Ling and said to Zhuang Tunan, "Tunan, sit down."
Grandma Zhuang also agreed and asked Zhuang Tunan to sit down. Then she hesitated for a moment and said, "Tuxi, you and Zhenbei squeeze in and sit together. Ling, there is no room. You and Xiaoting can go to the kitchen."
But Zhuang Zhenbei suddenly said, "Grandma, there is no room."
Father Zhuang paused and said, "It's true that there is no room. Then Tuxi, you can serve some chicken and go to the kitchen with your mother and Xiaoting to eat."
Looking at this scene, Zhou Chen sneered in his heart. Sure enough, even if there was one more person, this birthday banquet would not change much.
"Okay, I'll serve some chicken."
As he said that, he brought Xiaoting's bowl over, walked to the table, picked up the whole cooked hen with chopsticks, and directly put a chicken leg in Xiaoting's bowl, and then put the other chicken leg in his own bowl.
His speed was really fast enough. When others reacted, the two chicken legs were gone. The faces of several people at the table changed instantly.
But Zhou Chen pretended not to see it, and took the bowl from his mother Huang Ling, who was a little dazed, and quickly picked up a few chopsticks from the plate of fried chicken. All the meat was good and put it in the bowl.
At this moment, Zhuang Zhenbei suddenly shouted: "Dad, grandma, I want to eat chicken legs too."

After hearing this shout, Zhuang Chaoying saw the dark faces of his parents and immediately shouted angrily: "Tuxi, what are you doing?"
Zhou Chen said innocently: "Put some chicken in the kitchen to eat, my father said so."
Zhuang Chaoying's breath stagnated, but he still scolded dissatisfiedly: "You can't do this. If you take away both chicken legs, what will others eat?"
Zhou Chen pointed and said: "There are still so many left, isn't it enough to eat?"
Grandma Zhuang couldn't help it, and said sarcastically: "Big brother, how did you educate your son? He really has no family education at all."
Dad Zhuang also said in a deep voice: "The old man hasn't started eating yet, but he started eating first. Is this the family education of our Zhuang family's children?"
Zhuang Chaoying, who was scolded by his parents, looked very ugly. He stood up immediately and wanted to teach Zhou Chen a lesson, but he didn't say anything yet.
Zhou Chen met the gaze of Zhuang's father and grandmother, and asked slowly: "What family education? The family education of the Zhuang family? Is it the family education that the eldest daughter-in-law who is responsible for cooking at the birthday banquet cannot sit at the table, but the younger daughter-in-law who does nothing can sit at the table?"
As soon as these words came out, the room was instantly silent. No one expected Zhou Chen to say such a thing.
But the next moment, the faces of the two old people became extremely ugly, and the irritable Zhuang Ganmei slapped the table with chopsticks in anger.
"Little bastard, what are you talking about?"
Huang Ling stepped forward and hugged Zhou Chen into her arms, like an old hen protecting her calf, and shouted at Zhuang Ganmei: "Zhuang Ganmei, why are you yelling at the child?"
Zhuang Chaoying was originally very unhappy with Zhou Chen's behavior, but when he saw his younger brother Zhuang Ganmei scolding his son, he was also very dissatisfied, but he didn't show it.
Grandma Zhuang said again in a sarcastic tone: "What does a child know? I'm afraid that what he said was instigated by someone behind the scenes."
Dad Zhuang also slammed his chopsticks on the table angrily, but he didn't say anything about others. Instead, he yelled at Zhuang Chaoying: "Boss, how can you be the head of the family? You can't even discipline your own wife and children. You have disgraced our Zhuang family."
Zhuang Chaoying, who was scolded, had a dark face. He was furious and helpless. Instead of standing on the side of his wife and children, he yelled at Zhou Chen: "Tuxi, today is grandma's birthday. How can you talk back to the elders? Hurry up and apologize to grandma and dad."
Before Zhou Chen spoke, Huang Ling still hugged Zhou Chen like a child. She could bear the grievances herself, but she couldn't bear Zhuang Chaoying helping the Zhuang family bully her son.
"Zhuang Chaoying, what did Tuxi say wrong? You want him to apologize? Are you sick? If you want to apologize, you should say it yourself. Tuxi, Xiaoting, we are not going to eat anymore. Let's go home."
She took the bowl from Xiaoting's hand and threw it directly on the table. The noodles and chicken legs were scattered on the table, but Huang Ling didn't even look at them. She just took her son and daughter away.
No one expected that Huang Ling, who was always calm, would suddenly become so fierce. They just watched Huang Ling drag her two children out of the door.
Zhuang Tunan was the first to react. He suddenly stood up, shouted "Mom", and then chased after them.
Suddenly, out of the family of five, only Zhuang Chaoying was left. The anger on his face had not yet subsided, and he just stared blankly at his wife and children leaving.
"It's rebellious, it's rebellious, it's really rebellious."
Zhuang's father looked at the mess on the table, and was furious. He stood up and pointed at Zhuang Chaoying and cursed.
"Big brother, you see, this is your wife, this is your son, you are like this, how can you be the head of the family, it's really unfortunate for the family, you can't even manage your own wife and son, how can I have such a useless son like you."
Zhuang Ganmei said sarcastically: "Brother, are you here to celebrate mom's birthday today, or to make trouble?"
Zhuang Chaoying, who dared not say anything back after being scolded by Zhuang's father, heard his brother's ridicule, and immediately said angrily: "Ganmei, what are you talking about, of course I came to celebrate mom's birthday."
"Is this how you celebrate birthdays?"
"Ganmei, you."
"Okay."
Zhuang's grandmother had a gloomy face and interrupted the conversation between the two brothers.
"Big brother, I don't mean to say anything to you, but you need to take care of your wife. And Tusi, do you still have eyes for us elders? It's a rare birthday celebration, but they messed it up. Is this how you treat your elders? Is this how you treat your elders?"
Zhuang Chaoying lowered her head and apologized: "Mom, I'm sorry, I don't know how it turned out like this. I will definitely talk to them when I go back. I will definitely talk to them."
"Talk? What's the use of just talking, big brother, how can we not teach that little bastard of your second son a lesson? If you can't bear to beat him, , bring him here, I'll take care of him for you; and the eldest sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything, my parents are still here, look at her attitude, she talks back to my parents, and dares to smash the bowl and slam the door and leave, which daughter-in-law dares to be so bold, and who is she showing disdain to? Big brother, you've spoiled her. "
Zhuang Ganmei was sarcastic whenever she caught Zhuang Chaoying, and she didn't show any respect for her big brother. Zhuang Chaoying's face turned even darker, but in front of his parents and children, he didn't want to argue with Zhuang Ganmei, because he also knew that his parents would definitely not help him, but would only follow his brother.
Zhuang's father said: "Big brother, although Ganmei's words are not nice, they are not wrong. You are the man of the Zhuang family and the head of the family, but you just saw it, your wife and your son, who listens to you? A man is ridden on by a woman, and there is no such useless man in our Zhuang family. "
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my problem..."
