Chapter 220 Ah Ling is his virtuous wife, his treasure.
Chapter 220 Ah Ling is his virtuous wife, his treasure.
Lin Gong had to work overtime again, so Zhuang Chaoying had no choice but to leave the refrigerator factory and go home alone.
He rode his bicycle slowly past a vegetable field.
My gaze inadvertently fell on the old outhouse next to the vegetable garden, and a thought suddenly came to mind.
Stop the bicycle, grip the handlebars with both hands, push the bike, and walk to the back of the outhouse.
His eyes darted around warily, and only after confirming that there was no one else around did he breathe a sigh of relief and quickly mentally order to open the system shop.
Virtual scenes appeared before his eyes, and various goods flashed in front of him.
Zhuang Chaoying's gaze swept quickly across the area.
Huang Ling now puts fifty yuan in the drawer every month for living expenses, and whoever needs money can take it themselves. This way, he doesn't have to ask Ah Ling for it anymore, which is much more convenient.
Moreover, his life is simple and regular. Apart from going to work and coming home, he goes grocery shopping. He doesn't have any major expenses and doesn't spend money much.
All the clothes he wore, from the inside out, including his underwear and socks, as well as his daily necessities, were prepared by Ah Ling, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Moreover, he thought the shirt that Ah Ling bought for him was very stylish; he really needed a wife with good taste.
If a girl is willing to buy clothes, shoes, and even underwear for her man, then that man is incredibly lucky.
Ah Ling is such a good woman. She hopes that her husband and children can dress comfortably and cleanly, and look presentable when they go out, so that they have enough face to save face.
So it's really hard to find a girl like this, so don't let her down, because you've already struck gold.
A husband who dresses well before going out always has a virtuous wife at home. Ah Ling is his virtuous wife and his treasure.
Ah Ling and her child are his spiritual support here, his only relatives, and his sole motivation for earning money and making a living.
In the system's online store, I first selected two bottles of canned peaches, and then picked out a prepared chicken. It had already been plucked and gutted, and its feet were neatly tied, making it a perfect fit for hanging on the handlebars.
I bought two pounds of shrimp, a bag of dried fruit, and two boxes of steamed egg cakes.
After choosing the food, he thought of Ah Ling again.
I bought five packs of sanitary napkins for Ah Ling, and also five packs of family planning supplies.
During the purchase, he kept a watchful eye on his surroundings. Fortunately, no one passed by this time, which eased his anxiety.
He quickly packed five packs of sanitary napkins and family planning supplies into his briefcase.
The rest of the items were put into the bicycle basket. After hanging the chicken on the handlebars, the bicycle was pushed back onto the road, and the rider headed home.
Thinking back to how he went to the hospital to get family planning supplies in order to get something for free, the embarrassing scene was still vivid in his mind, making him feel quite ashamed.
Walking down the hospital corridor, glancing left and right, afraid of running into acquaintances and facing the doctor's gaze, he grabbed his things and hurriedly left. That unease was something he would never forget.
Looking back now, I realize it would have been better to just buy it directly from the system store; it would have been much more convenient and less troublesome. How could I have been so foolish back then?
I must have been out of my mind back then!
The half-hour journey passed quickly.
Pushing the cart into the familiar alley, the alley was very quiet, with only Grandpa Li from the small shop sitting at the door basking in the sun.
Everyone else has gone to work. Being a teacher is great; you get two paid vacations.
He greeted him warmly. "Grandpa Li, have you had lunch yet?"
Grandpa Li looked up, squinting. "I've eaten. Teacher Zhuang bought so much food!"
"Tu Nan has finally come back, so let's make some good food for the kids, something they can't get at school."
"That's right, Teacher Zhuang, hurry home."
"Okay, Grandpa Li," he replied, pushing the cart into the yard.
Xiaoting, Tunan, and Dongzhe were watching TV inside when they heard a noise in the yard. They turned around and saw that their father had returned.
Tu Nan immediately got up and quickly went out to take the chicken and shrimp from his father's hands. "Dad, you bought so much food!"
Zhuang Chaoying smiled and looked at Tu Nan. "Didn't you say last time that you liked Dad's stewed chicken? If you like it, I'll make it for you and let you eat your fill."
"Dad, I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously?" After saying that, Tu Nan put the chicken and shrimp into the enamel basin in the kitchen, and then deliberately pushed the basin further in.
Zhuang Chaoying placed the canned food, sponge cake, and briefcase on the table. "Dongzhe, go get four bowls, chopsticks, and spoons."
Dongcheol's eyes lit up when he saw the canned goods, and he quickly got up to get them.
Dongzhe placed the bowl, chopsticks, and spoon on the table. "Uncle Zhuang, here they are."
"Open one can of food, and save the other one for your Aunt Huang."
Lin Dongzhe was holding a can of food. "Xiaoting, where's your screwdriver?"
Xiaoting took a screwdriver out of the drawer and handed it to Lin Dongzhe.
Lin Dongzhe took the screwdriver and pried open the can lid.
With a "pop," the can was opened, dividing the peaches into four portions. Juice dripped down the side of the bowl, and he quickly dipped his finger in it and put it in his mouth to suck.
The four of them were watching TV while eating canned food and sponge cake.

After taking a quick bite, Zhuang Chaoying glanced at her watch; it was almost three o'clock. She prepared to start cooking. The chicken needed to be stewed for a while, so she had to get started quickly.
His gaze swept back and forth between the two children.
"Xiaoting, Dongzhe, have you two finished your winter break homework?"
Dongzhe, holding a sponge cake, swallowed what was in his mouth. "Uncle Zhuang, Brother Tunan has been watching over Xiaoting and me every day since we came back from vacation. We finished writing a long time ago. Now Brother Tunan's arrangement for us is that he tutors us in the next semester's courses from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock every day."
Xiaoting nodded in agreement. "Dad, don't worry. With my brother and me watching over Dongzhe, he won't dare not do his homework. I just don't know if Pengfei will remember to do his homework if he's gone crazy playing at home. Let's not wait until school starts so we can all help him catch up on his homework."
Hearing her daughter's worried expression, Zhuang Chaoying reached out and patted Xiaoting's head. "You're becoming more and more like your mother. I'll call your aunt tomorrow and ask them to keep a close eye on Pengfei's studies."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
He chopped the chicken into small pieces, then blanched them in boiling water. Blood foam slowly rose to the surface, which he carefully skimmed off with a slotted spoon. He heated oil in a wok until it just began to smoke, then poured the chicken pieces into the wok. Instantly, a sizzling sound filled the kitchen.
Stir-fry continuously until the chicken pieces turn golden brown, then add water, scallions, ginger, and star anise, and simmer over low heat.
On the other burner, he put the shrimp into the steamer, sprinkled them with soy sauce and minced garlic, and white steam quickly rose up.
