Chapter 1692: Staying up All Night? Staying up All Night!

Zhuang Chaoying was so hungry that he couldn't even read a book. He had no choice but to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

But when he walked into the kitchen, turned over the pot, and looked at the grain bag, he found that there were only two cabbages left besides rice. He didn't know what to cook at all. He was dejected and sighed.

At this moment, he really missed Huang Ling very much and began to regret what he did that night. But he regretted it, but it was impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

He regretted that he shouldn't have quarreled so much, but he didn't think he was wrong. He was the eldest son of the Zhuang family, so he should be filial to his parents and take care of his younger brother. Why couldn't Huang Ling understand?

He felt that Huang Ling had a good living condition since she was a child and had never suffered the hardships of their family. She couldn't understand their family's feelings, let alone him, so she always seized on this issue and quarreled with him repeatedly.

He really didn't understand Huang Ling. Why did the family always care about gains and losses? He was the eldest son of the Zhuang family. Wasn't it natural for him to pay for the Zhuang family?

"Alas."

He sighed again, holding the yellow cabbage, and prepared to make something to deal with it.

At this time, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng came over. Song Ying was quick-witted and asked, "Teacher Zhuang, when will Sister Ling come back?"

Zhuang Chaoying was embarrassed. He had never contacted her, so how could he know? Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Lin Wufeng hurriedly spoke to ease the situation.

"Well, Sister Ling is not at home, how can we add a dish and invite Teacher Zhuang to have a simple meal?"

"No, no, I will do it myself." Zhuang Chaoying immediately refused.

But under the enthusiastic invitation of Song Ying and Lin Wufeng, he still put down his face and agreed.

Zhuang Chaoying, who had not eaten enough for a few days, finally got the chance. Under the gaze of Song Ying's family of three, he ate like crazy. He drank a large bowl of rice before he drank two sips of wine, and also ate vegetables without hesitation.

He is not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette. On the contrary, he is very face-conscious and pays attention to his image. But now he is really too hungry and can't care about so much. He just wants to fill his stomach.

Seeing Zhuang Chaoying trying hard to eat, Song Ying felt very uncomfortable. She invited Zhuang Chaoying to dinner for Huang Ling and the three children, not because she had any good feelings for Zhuang Chaoying, so she winked at Lin Wufeng.

Lin Wufeng returned a look to show that he understood, and then took the opportunity to clink glasses with Zhuang Chaoying.

"Teacher Zhuang, when will Tunan and Tuxi come back? I really miss them. When they are not here, Dongzhe has no one to play with. When the child bought firecrackers yesterday, he said that he would wait for Tunan and the others to come back and set off firecrackers together."

Zhuang Chaoying slowed down his eating speed and stopped pretending. He told the reason why he quarreled with Huang Ling, and his tone was mixed with dissatisfaction with Huang Ling.

But who knew that Song Ying would stop pretending and directly said, "Is Sister Ling enjoying the happiness with you?" ', and then she spoke indignantly about Huang Ling's difficulties, her tone full of sarcasm towards Zhuang Chaoying.

Zhuang Chaoying heard that she was injustice for Huang Ling, and her heart was even more unbalanced, saying that Huang Ling and her son had never suffered, but that their old Zhuang family had suffered so much and endured so much, and it was so difficult.

Subconsciously, he still felt that he was very good to Huang Ling and the child, and they were already living a good life. Huang Ling should not quarrel with him, but should be more sensible and help him to support their old Zhuang family.

Hearing this, Song Ying's eyes rolled out, and she hurriedly drove Lin Dongzhe to her room. If she didn't want to resolve the conflict and let Huang Ling and the others come back, she really didn't want to hear Zhuang Chaoying say these ridiculous words.

It was still Lin Wufeng who persuaded Zhuang Chaoying with gentle words from the perspective of the child. He knew that Zhuang Chaoying might have an opinion about Huang Ling, but he must still care about his own child.

After being persuaded by Lin Wufeng and Song Ying, Zhuang Chaoying thought about how he had been in a daze these days, not even having food to eat, and how hard it was. In addition, he did miss his children a little, so he remained silent.

Zhuang Chaoying did not sleep well all night. After thinking about it all night, he dressed up the next day and hurried to the station.

He thought clearly that the New Year was coming soon, and he had to bring his wife and children back before that, otherwise he would not be able to spend the New Year or the days.

Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were watching TV at their grandfather's house, while Zhou Chen accompanied his grandfather for a walk. They stayed outside for a long time before walking back slowly.

When they returned home, they saw Zhuang Chaoying in the house, and Zhuang Chaoying called out with a restrained look on her face.

"Dad."

Father Huang smiled: "Chaoying is here, are you here to take Ling'er and the others back home for the New Year?"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Dad, I'm here to see you and Mom, and we're relieved to see you two are in good health."

Father Huang waved his hand: "We are fine, you don't have to worry about us, just live your life well and take good care of the children, that's the greatest care for us."

"Yes, yes, Dad is right."

In Huang Ling's house, he dared not show his temper at all, and his father-in-law said whatever he wanted.

Huang Ling has actually been in a much better mood these days under her mother's persuasion, so she started packing her things the day after Zhuang Chaoying came, and the next morning, she returned to Suzhou with Zhuang Chaoying.

Before leaving, Father and Mother Huang were very reluctant and bought a lot of things.

"Tunan, Tuxi, Xiaoting, if you miss grandpa and grandma in the future, come with mom and dad."

"Okay, grandpa, grandma."

"Goodbye, grandpa and grandma."

…………

The family returned to the alley and met neighbors, all smiling and greeting.

That night, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling quarreled, and the noise was very loud. The neighbors in the alley heard a lot, and knew that Huang Ling was angry and went back to her mother's house.

"Brother Tunan, brother Tuxi, Xiaoting."

As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Dongzhe ran over excitedly. Seeing Zhou Chen and the other two, he jumped and jumped happily, not to mention how lively he was.

Zhou Chen smiled and patted Lin Dongzhe's head. This kid was a little naughty, but he was really likable.

The importance of family atmosphere can be seen from Lin Dongzhe. Lin Wufeng and Song Ying love each other and are of one mind. They are both carefree and don't care about calculations, so they have developed a character like Lin Dongzhe.

In the plot, although the two children of Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling have achieved extraordinary success in studying, they are actually far behind Lin Dongzhe in terms of life.

Zhuang Tunan is very similar to Zhuang Chaoying, but Huang Ling is not like Zhuang's father and Zhuang's grandmother who can pua her son, so Zhuang Tunan did not become the second generation of Zhuang Chaoying in the end.

In the plot, Zhuang Xiaoting's personality is sensitive and inferior, and she lacks a sense of security, which is also caused by her growing environment.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Song."

Zhou Chen greeted Song Ying and Lin Wufeng who also came out. Neighbors like the Lin family are the best in the whole alley.

Lin Wufeng greeted Zhou Chen's three children with a smile, and Song Ying held Huang Ling with red eyes, saying that she missed her and her three children these days.

Zhou Chen and his friends came back before the Spring Festival. Today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. There is no 30th this year, and tomorrow the 29th is New Year's Eve.

At night, after the three children fell asleep, Zhuang Chaoying asked Huang Ling carefully: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We are going to have dinner there. You..."

Huang Ling knew what he meant. During the New Year, the whole family would have New Year's Eve dinner and stay up together. The last time they quarreled was because of that place. They just reconciled. Zhuang Chaoying was worried that she would do something radical when she went to have New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.

"Don't worry, as long as your parents and your brother are in harmony, I will definitely be in harmony too."

"Ah, I will, I will."

Zhuang Chaoying quickly assured that he was most afraid that Huang Ling would quarrel with his parents, especially on such an important day as New Year's Eve.

"But you also know that I have to work the night shift tomorrow night and I will come back after the New Year's Eve dinner."

In order to divide the house, Huang Ling was forced to work the night shift on New Year's Eve, and Zhuang Chaoying also knew it.

"Then you come back after dinner, I will take Tunan and the others to my parents' place to celebrate the New Year."

"Or, don't celebrate the New Year at your parents' place this year. You can't take care of three children by yourself."

Zhuang Chaoying shook her head when she heard it, "That won't work. It is a traditional custom of our Chinese people for the family to celebrate the New Year together. Don't worry. Tunan and the others are grown up. I can take care of them by myself. What's more, they are at my parents' place. It's been like this every year. Anyway, it's just one night. I will bring the children back tomorrow morning."

Huang Ling was still a little worried. It had been like this in previous years, but she was there at that time. This time she was not there. Several unpleasant things happened some time ago. She was not worried about Zhuang Chaoying, but her three children.

However, she had to be on duty tomorrow night and could not take care of the children. She could only agree with Zhuang Chaoying. However, she thought about reminding Tunan before going tomorrow to let him take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Perhaps it was because they realized that it was New Year's Eve. When they went there the next day, Huang Ling was no longer the only one cooking, but Zhuang Ganmei's wife helped. When eating, they did not let Huang Ling and others go to the kitchen like last time, but the whole family gathered around a table and ate.

After dinner, there was no TV to watch, so they could only wait to stay up until after twelve o'clock.

After dinner, Huang Ling gave Zhuang Tunan and Zhou Chen a few words and went back, ready to sleep for two hours before going on duty.

The remaining adults gathered in the inner room to talk together. Zhendong Zhenbei played on the bed for a while and then fell asleep. Zhuang Xiaoting did not want to sleep in the same bed with Zhendong Zhenbei, so she leaned on Zhou Chen's arms.

"Second brother, I'm sleepy."

For adults, staying up until after twelve o'clock is nothing, but for children, it is very difficult to endure without playing.

"Brother will hold you, you can sleep in brother's arms."

Zhou Chen held Zhuang Xiaoting carefully. Although he was not big, it was no problem for him to hold Zhuang Xiaoting.

Zhuang Xiaoting was indeed sleepy. She trusted her second brother very much. She leaned on Zhou Chen's arms and fell asleep in a short while.

Time passed by minute by minute. Zhou Chen was not afraid of the cold, but worried that Zhuang Xiaoting would be cold, so he held her tightly in his arms to keep her warm.

On a winter night, if you don't sleep or do anything, just sitting, it is really hard to endure. It's called staying up all night, but it was just past nine o'clock, and the four members of Zhuang Ganmei's family had already gone to bed, even Zhuang's father and Zhuang's grandmother had gone to bed, and they also asked Zhuang Tunan to go to their bed.

In the end, only Zhuang Chaoying was left sitting on the stool in the inner room talking to the old couple, and then Zhou Chen held Zhuang Xiaoting and sat on the bench in the outer room.

Good fellow, they said they were going to stay up all night, but they all slept in bed, and they just sat on the stools.

What the hell!

Zhou Chen certainly didn't indulge them, and went straight into the inner room and asked, "Dad, grandma, didn't you say we were going to stay up all night? You all slept in bed, and Zhendong and Zhenbei fell asleep. Is that how you're going to stay up all night? So you're going to let us sit on the stools and stay up all night, right?"

"Tuxi, how are you talking to dad and grandma?"

Zhuang Chaoying got angry immediately. This second son was really getting more and more irritable. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly rush in and yell.

Zhou Chen hugged Zhuang Xiaoting and continued to say without any politeness, "Did I say anything wrong? It was said that we were going to stay up all night, but dad, grandma, and the third uncle and their family all went to bed, and Zhendong and Zhenbei fell asleep a long time ago. What kind of stay is this? Can we stay up all night? If not, then don't stay up all night."

If everyone stayed up all night together, he wouldn't have much of an opinion, just wait it out.

But now, Zhuang's father and grandmother have already gone to bed, Zhuang Ganmei's family has also gone to bed, the two little ones have fallen asleep, even Zhuang Tunan was put on the bed by Zhuang's grandmother to sleep, he has been holding his sister for a long time, but no one asked a question.

Still guarding the egg.

Can't blame him for getting angry, it's really too obvious to treat differently, only Zhuang Chaoying, the "big filial son", pretended not to see anything, he may have been used to pua, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Zhou Chen couldn't stand it.

Because of Zhou Chen's actions and voices, Zhuang Xiaoting in his arms was also awakened, and looked at his second brother with sleepy eyes.

"What's wrong with you, kid? It's New Year's Day, why are you doing something so strange? Look at him now, you've been spoiled by your mother."

Since the last birthday banquet, Grandma Zhuang has been dissatisfied with her grandson Zhou Chen. She thinks Zhou Chen is on the same side as his mother. Although his surname is Zhuang, he sides with his mother who has a different surname. This makes her, as a grandmother, very dissatisfied. He is not as obedient and sensible as her eldest grandson.

Dad Zhuang was even more furious: "He is simply disobedient and unfilial. Boss, how come you haven't learned your lesson at all since the last incident? Can you teach your son well? He is still so disrespectful to his elders. He is simply ruining the reputation of our Zhuang family. If you don't want to beat him, I will teach him for you."

Like Grandma Zhuang, he used to think that Zhou Chen was a grandson and would be useful to them in the future, and his attitude was barely acceptable. But after that incident, Zhou Chen obviously stood with Huang Ling. He dared to contradict them at such a young age. What will happen when he grows up? It's impossible to count on him at all?

So now they don't pretend anymore. When they were staying up late just now, they specially asked Zhuang Tunan to go to bed, but they didn't even call Zhou Chen and Zhuang Xiaoting.

Zhuang Chaoying felt embarrassed on New Year's Day after being suddenly scolded by his parents. So he transferred all his anger to Zhou Chen.

"Tuxi, come here, kneel down and apologize to your father and grandmother, otherwise don't blame me for beating you."
