Chapter 1702 Buying New Shoes, Filial Piety

"That's great, Tunan, you're great, you got into No. 1 Middle School."

Song Ying is indeed a very warm-hearted person, and she is also very kind to Zhou Chen and his family. She is also happy that Zhuang Tunan got into No. 1 Middle School.

She was so happy that she immediately said she would go buy meat to make braised pork. Huang Ling came out of the house and happily said she would go buy meat, and then she took all the meat coupons she had saved, and went to the vegetable market with Song Ying, arm in arm, to buy meat.

Zhuang Xiaoting ran to Zhou Chen and said happily: "Second brother, my eldest brother got into No. 1 Middle School. You will also get into No. 1 Middle School next year, right? I think you will definitely get in."

Zhou Chen smiled and touched her head, saying: "Well, when the time comes, my second brother will also get into No. 1 Middle School, and you will also get into No. 1 Middle School in the future."

Zhuang Xiaoting was a little unconfident: "I'm not as smart as my eldest and second brothers. I don't know if I can get in."

"Who said that? Xiaoting in our family is the smartest. Besides, there is no second brother to help you. There will definitely be no problem."

In the plot, Zhuang Xiaoting got into No. 1 Middle School based on her own grades. Now that Zhou Chen is tutoring her, it is not that difficult for her to get into No. 1 Middle School.

Coincidentally, Zhuang Chaoying also came back at this time. Hearing Lin Dongzhe's shouting, he immediately showed a happy look. He felt that Zhuang Tunan did not disappoint his expectations. He received good news just after returning, which was comparable to his happiness to be able to go to the college entrance examination paper marking.

To celebrate Zhuang Tunan's admission to No. 1 Middle School, the Zhuang and Lin families bought a lot of meat and made a large plate of braised pork. The two families gathered in the courtyard to eat together.

"Braised pork is really delicious, Xiaoting, you eat the lean ones, I eat the fat ones, I like to eat fat ones, lean meat is stuck in my teeth."

Among the few people, Lin Dongzhe was the one who ate the most happily, and Zhuang Xiaoting also ate with a smile. Nowadays, it is really not easy to eat meat freely.

Lin Wufeng clinked glasses with Zhuang Chaoying and said with a smile: "This year, Tunan was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and Tuxi skipped to the fifth grade. With his grades, he will definitely be admitted to No. 1 Middle School next year."

Zhuang Chaoying said: "In fact, I don't quite agree with him skipping grades, but this child has many ideas, I can't control him. As for whether he can be admitted to No. 1 Middle School next year, who can say for sure?"

Song Ying immediately said: "Teacher Zhuang, you are too interesting. Parents are so happy to hear that their children can skip grades, but you are still worried. If our Lin Dongzhe can If he skips a grade, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. I will buy him whatever he wants. "

Huang Ling said with a smile: "Song Ying, don't say that. Maybe Dongzhe will have a chance to skip a grade in the future."

"Sister Ling, do you believe what you said? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Seeing Song Ying shaking her head, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say: "Aunt Song, I think Dongzhe has great potential. Maybe he can skip a grade next year or the year after next."

But Song Ying certainly couldn't believe it. She would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than believe that her son has the ability to skip a grade.

Zhou Chen also ate a lot of braised pork, and slept more easily at night.

The summer vacation passed quickly. School will start in more than a week. Zhou Chen did not do the homework writing business this summer vacation, so he did not have any extra income.

However, he saved some money before, and he didn't spend it all. There were still 20 yuan left.

He earned about 50 yuan in total by writing homework for others. After a few months, he spent 30 yuan.

It has to be said that the cost of living in this era is really low. As long as you don't buy too many things, just some snacks, you won't spend much money at all.

Zhou Chen came to the supply and marketing store and prepared to buy some more candy for Zhuang Xiaoting. After buying the candy, he was about to leave when his eyes suddenly paused.

I saw a pair of beautiful shoes lying steadily on the counter.

It was a pair of buckled shoes with a wedge heel and a peony embroidered on the black velvet. This was a pair of very distinctive embroidered shoes. It might look very rustic in later generations, but in the 1970s, the market for embroidered shoes was still very large.

"Excuse me, how much is this pair of shoes?"

The female clerk of the supply and marketing store looked back and said with a smile: "Little boy, these are shoes for adults. If you want to buy them, you can ask your mother to come and buy them."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, auntie, I often buy things for my mother."

The female clerk said kindly: "These shoes are shipped from Shanghai. They are the most fashionable styles and the best materials. The price is not cheap. Fifteen yuan a pair. Little boy, do you want to buy them?"

Zhou Chen ignored what she said before. Shanghai and Suzhou are not far apart. The price of fifteen yuan is indeed not cheap. It is rare to see women who are willing to spend fifteen yuan on a pair of shoes these days.

"Give me a pair of size 37."

"Are you really going to buy them?"

"Of course."

Zhou Chen took out fifteen yuan. Although he only had twenty left, he still spent fifteen yuan on this pair of shoes without hesitation.

Although the female clerk was very surprised that Zhou Chen had so much money and wanted to buy this pair of shoes, she had no reason not to sell them, so she took a pair of size 37, wrapped them up and handed them to Zhou Chen, and collected the money by the way.

Zhou Chen took the wrapped embroidered shoes home.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Huang Ling and Song Ying hanging clothes together.

"Mom."

"Tuxi, you're back."

Huang Ling let Zhou Chen go. If Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting went out, she might still ask a few questions, but when Zhou Chen went out, she was very relieved.

Zhou Chen handed the wrapped embroidered shoes in his hand to Huang Ling.

"Mom, here you go."

"What is it?"

Huang Ling wiped her hands on the clothes, took them and opened them. When she saw the pair of black embroidered shoes inside, she was immediately shocked.

"Tusi, these shoes?"

"I just went to the store to buy candies and saw that these shoes are very nice. I thought they would look better on you, Mom, so I bought them for you."

Song Ying on the side shouted in shock: "Huh? Tuxi, you bought this for your mother?"

Huang Ling was also very surprised and asked: "Bought them for me? Where did you get the money to buy them? Why did you buy me shoes?"

Zhou Chen said: "I see that you always wear those two pairs of shoes. They are almost worn out and have not been replaced. It just so happens that the money I earned from doing homework has not been used up yet. I saw that these shoes suit you very well, so I bought them. ”

Huang Ling and Song Ying both found it incredible. If Zhou Chen was an adult, they wouldn't be so shocked, but Zhou Chen is just a ten-year-old child.

As for the money Zhou Chen mentioned from doing homework, they all knew about it, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen would still have some money left after such a long time.

"Sister Ling, these embroidered shoes are so beautiful, Tuxi has really good taste."

Song Ying looked at Huang Ling with envy. She really thought it looked good. What's more, it was bought by her own son, so the meaning was even different.

Huang Ling thought more and hurriedly asked: "How much did it cost?"

"fifteen."

Without saying a word, Huang Ling pulled Zhou Chen directly: "Let's go to the store with me to check out."

"What's the point of returning it? Mom, I've said it won't be returned or exchanged. It can't be refunded."

"Why can't I get a refund? It's only fifteen yuan. It's too expensive. You can buy a lot of meat."

She was very happy that Zhou Chen had such filial piety, but she would rather buy meat for her children than buy shoes for herself.

Zhou Chen said: "You don't have to eat meat, but you have to wear shoes. I bought these specially for you, and they won't be returned or exchanged, so you better keep them. Mom, you can try them on, they will definitely look good."

Song Ying persuaded from the side: "Yes, Sister Ling, I won't return or exchange it. This is Tuxi's filial piety. You can wear it and see. It will definitely look good on your feet."

Without any explanation, she pushed Huang Ling to sit down, took off her shoes, and wanted to put on new shoes for her.

Huang Ling quickly stopped her, but she couldn't resist Song Ying's enthusiasm, so she finally agreed.

"I wear it myself, I wear it myself."

Huang Ling put on her new shoes and walked a few steps on the ground. Her face showed an expression of joy involuntarily. It could be seen that she liked the new shoes very much.

"It feels a bit bright, Tusi, can't you really retreat?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to answer, Song Ying said: "Don't retreat, they look good. The black ones are so bright. Tuxi has really good taste. These shoes look really good on Sister Ling's feet. Sister Ling, these are Tuxi." I don’t think so, so just accept it with peace of mind.”

"Yes, Mom, Aunt Song is right. It looks really good on you, and she really doesn't give up. Just wear it."

Huang Ling was very satisfied and very happy. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"But I just think it's too expensive. At fifteen yuan, you can buy a lot of things."

"No matter how much I buy, I can't buy my mother's smile."

Zhou Chen's words immediately stunned Huang Ling and Song Ying. They both looked at Zhou Chen blankly, and suddenly realized that the ten-year-old Zhou Chen was not much shorter than them, especially since he was a child. Huang Ling, who had watched Zhou Chen grow up, had the illusion that her son had grown up.

Huang Ling's eyes were a little red when she was moved.

"Sister Ling, Tuxi has really grown up and knows how to feel sorry for you. I really envy you. That little monkey in our family, let alone buying me shoes, even bought candies without even thinking of giving me one to eat."

"No way, Dongzhe is also very sensible."

Huang Ling's face was filled with a smile, and she looked at Zhou Chen with a lot of emotions in her heart.

She and Zhuang Chaoying have been married for so many years, and Zhuang Chaoying has never bought her new shoes. However, her son does not have much money, but he can spend fifteen yuan to buy her shoes. This makes her feel the joy of being remembered by her son. .

"Tusi, mom accepts the shoes and will pay you next month. Mom will give you fifteen."

"What are you talking about? Mom, I bought this for you. It's my intention. If you give the money back to me, it won't matter. That's it. I'll go back to the house and read."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything and went back to the house directly.

"This kid."

"Sister Ling, just smile when you're happy. You can see your eyes are so happy that they're almost gone."

"No way, Song Ying, just laugh at me."

"Mom, I'm back."

Song Ying saw that Lin Dongzhe was back. His clothes were all covered in dust and his face was pitch black. She was so angry that she went up to catch him and beat him on the butt.

"Lin Dongzhe, are you lying on the floor and playing again? I'll beat you to death. You're so angry with me. Your brother Tuxi already knows how to buy shoes for your mother. You know how to make me angry. I'll beat you to death..."

"Hey, Song Ying, Song Ying, Dongzhe is still young, please be gentle."

"It's too easy to remember. I get angry when I see him. Sister Ling, don't stop me."

"Mom, Mom, stop beating, it hurts."

…………

In the evening, Zhuang Chaoying came home and was very surprised to see the new shoes placed solemnly by Huang Ling.

"Aling, did you buy new shoes?"

"It's not me. Tusi bought it for me. It cost fifteen yuan."

"Fifteen? Where did he get so much money? He won't make the same mistake again and help others with their homework, right? Tusi, come here."

When Huang Ling saw Zhuang Chaoying, her first reaction was not to pay attention to her son's filial piety, nor to think of her difficulties. Instead, she wanted to scold her son, and she suddenly became very angry.

"Tusi, leave your dad alone."

Then he said dissatisfiedly to Zhuang Chaoying: "My son bought me shoes as a sign of filial piety. What do you want to do?"

Zhuang Chaoying looked aggrieved: "Aren't I worried that he has done something wrong? Besides, buying a pair of shoes for fifteen yuan is too expensive. It's less than half a month's salary."

Huang Ling didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she just said, "It has nothing to do with you, just leave it alone." Then no matter what Zhuang Chaoying said, she didn't respond at all.

Next door, while sleeping at night, Song Ying told Lin Wufeng about the incident. Lin Wufeng was also as shocked as Song Ying before.

"Really? Tuxi is only ten years old, and she already knows how to buy shoes for Sister Ling?"

"Who says it's not the case? I gave Lin Dongzhe a good beating today. Not to mention compared with Tuxi, even compared with Tunan and Xiaoting, he is far inferior."

"Don't say that, every child is the same, but this child Tuxi is really different. She is so sensible and knows how to care for others. She knows how to save money to buy new shoes for her mother at the age of ten. Sister Ling is lucky."

"Of course, I can't enjoy the good things of my husband, and I think it's pretty good to enjoy the good things of my son. Judging from how Tuxi is doing now, Sister Ling will definitely be happy in the future. This child will definitely be filial and can provide for Sister Ling in her old age. ”

"Haha, you are thinking very far, even talking about retirement."

"When you look at your age at three years old, just be as filial and filial as he is now, and he will definitely be the same in the future."

"That's true. Tusi is not only filial, but also very smart. Her academic performance is better than Tunan's. She will definitely have a future in the future."

At the end of the summer vacation, Zhou Chen entered fifth grade. Because he skipped a grade and other classmates were promoted, when he entered the new class, the class teacher took him to the classroom and introduced him to his classmates.

Wu Shanshan was quite surprised when she saw Zhou Chen being brought over by the teacher. There were three classes in the fifth grade of the attached primary school. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen would be assigned to her class by such a coincidence.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhuang Tuxi."

After the teacher's introduction, Zhou Chen also introduced himself, and then the teacher arranged him to a seat at the back.

Although Zhou Chen is younger than the fifth-grade students, he is really not short, and is even taller than most of the fifth-grade students. Now, it is not as obvious as in the future to assign seats based on grades. Seats are arranged more based on height.
