Chapter 179: Compensating with the Same
Zhuang Chaoying teased Xiaoting on purpose: "Your brother went out with his female classmate, and you guys were all following along. What kind of scene is that?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoting immediately pouted: "It was arranged between me and Sister Wanshu. I was just tagging along."
Looking at her daughter's adorable appearance, Zhuang Chaoying smiled and patted her braids: "I agree, but you'll have to ask your mother later. If she agrees too, then you can go with her."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoting exclaimed, "Dad, then it's a deal! You can't go back on your word!"
Zhuang Chaoying smiled and nodded: "It's a promise, no backing down."
Looking at Xiaoting's excited expression, Zhuang Chaoying felt a deep love for her daughter.
Xiaoting is such an innocent and lively child. How wonderful it would be if she could stay by their side carefree forever.
When Huang Ling heard that Tu Nan was going out with a female classmate, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She thought to herself that this boy had reached the age of first love, and immediately agreed.
Not only that, she also deliberately pulled Xiaoting and Pengfei into the kitchen, her expression both concerned and somewhat mysterious.
"Xiaoting, Pengfei, you two need to be mindful of your surroundings when you go out tomorrow. Come back when you've had your fill of wandering around. You need to give your brother and his female classmate some time alone. If you guys are around, there are some things your brother might be too embarrassed to say."
Pengfei's eyes darted around, and he immediately smiled. He instantly understood what his aunt meant; she just wanted to create an opportunity for Tu Nan and Wan Shu to be alone together.
So he playfully gave a salute: "Auntie, I understand! If Xiaoting refuses to leave, I'll pull her away and make sure my brother and Sister Wanshu have enough time alone together."
Looking at Pengfei's quirky and clever appearance, Huang Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing and gently patted Pengfei's little head.
"You little rascal, you're so clever! Okay, go wash up and go to bed now, so you'll have the energy to go out and play tomorrow."
After Xiaoting and Pengfei finished washing up, they returned to their own beds.
At this moment, Zhuang Chaoying came over carrying a thermos and two basins in her hands.
He walked over to Huang Ling and said, "Honey, soak your feet. You must be exhausted after running around all day. Soaking your feet will make you feel more comfortable to sleep tonight."
Huang Ling was sitting in a chair, intently reading Zhuang Chaoying's "A Small Town in Jiangnan." Upon hearing his words, her face flushed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
As he spoke, he sat up straight and glanced towards Xiaoting's room, as if afraid the children would hear.
Then, she glared at Zhuang Chaoying and lowered her voice: "The child is all grown up now, you need to be more careful with your words and actions, don't be so unprofessional."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled as she placed the basin on the ground, added some hot water, and carefully tested the temperature with her hand.
"Ah Ling, what are you thinking about right now? Your thoughts are making me suspicious!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling reached out and gently pinched his cheek, then leaned down and whispered in his ear, "You're just making excuses! You old lecher, you men only behave when you're turned into photos or put on a wall."
Zhuang Chaoying grabbed her hand, kissed it, and then whispered in Ah Ling's ear, "No, if a woman gets addicted, it can be deadly! It can even kill a man!"
To be honest, Huang Ling knew that women, especially married women, could be quite open about their topics when they got together at work.
Teachers like Longze, although we feel a little embarrassed every time we watch it. Don't be surprised, according to surveys, girls like watching it more than boys.
However, he used to enjoy watching it quite a bit, so women can also become addicted and even go crazy. It's just that traditional ideas have always suppressed these thoughts, making everyone afraid to express them easily.
Fearing that Ah Ling would really get angry and hit him, Zhuang Chaoying quickly let go of his hand and stood up: "This temperature is fine, quickly soak your feet to relieve your fatigue."
Huang Ling rolled her eyes at him, then took off her shoes and socks and put her feet into the basin.
The water was warm, and it stung a little when I first put my hand in, but after a while, the warm feeling spread and made me feel very comfortable, and I got goosebumps all over my body.
Zhuang Chaoying also sat down next to her, slowly heating her feet.
Huang Ling held Chao Ying's hand. This playful and bickering life was something she never dared to imagine before. It's so good to be like this now.
Huang Ling seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Chaoying, I'll get up early tomorrow to buy some pork kidneys and make you a stir-fried pork kidney dish to nourish you properly."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying immediately frowned and showed a look of disgust on her face.
"Ah Ling, that stuff burns a lot of gas, will it taste good?"
Huang Ling patted his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as it's properly handled, there won't be any odor."
Zhuang Chaoying looked at A Ling and understood that A Ling cared about her and wanted to nourish her body. Although she didn't particularly like the taste of pork kidneys, she still felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Ah Ling, are you dissatisfied with his performance? You're even thinking of giving him a boost to improve his condition.
"My goodness, Ah Ling has quite an appetite!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling laughed and playfully punched him.

In front of Suzhou People's Shopping Mall.
Tu Nan, along with three mischievous boys, waited at the agreed-upon location early on.
Xiaoting, with her hair tied in two cute ponytails, glanced down at her digital watch and couldn't help but tug at Tu Nan's sleeve. "Brother, what time did you say you'd meet Sister Wanshu yesterday? It's almost ten o'clock, and we still haven't seen her!"
Tu Nan patted Xiao Ting on the shoulder, then turned and walked quickly toward the pastry stall not far away.
A short while later, he returned with five steaming hot plum blossom cakes, which he distributed to his younger siblings one by one.
"It's not even ten o'clock yet, what's the rush? Here, have some plum blossom cake to fill your stomach first."
Dongzhe's mouth was stuffed with plum blossom cakes when suddenly his eyes lit up. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, reached out and patted Tu Nan's brother next to him hard, saying indistinctly, "Brother Tu Nan, Sister Zhang! Look, isn't that Sister Zhang the one wearing a gray coat and carrying a cloth bag?"
Tu Nan looked in the direction Dong Zhe was pointing and saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards them from the crowd.
His heart suddenly raced. He took a deep breath, quickly straightened his collar, and then ran over.
"Zhang Wanshu, you're here! Here, a plum blossom cake!"
He nervously stuffed the paper bag in his hand into Zhang Wanshu's hand.
Zhang Wanshu was wearing a light gray coat today.
She looked at the plum blossom cake in her hand, a sweet smile appearing on her lips.
