People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

Chapter 195 Teacher Zhuang, I'm not ambitious!

A vocational school diploma will gradually become outdated in the school system. Although it may not lead to dismissal, it is an important threshold when applying for professional titles.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously. "Chao Ying, is it the adult education mentioned in that newspaper on your desk?"

Zhuang Chaoying nodded quickly. "Yes, that's the one! Registration is in August and September, and you can start school in October. The schedule is quite tight, so if you decide to enroll, you'd better start preparing now."

Song Ying was enjoying her braised pork when she heard this. She couldn't help but put down her chopsticks, looking helpless. "Teacher Zhuang, we're busy with work and home all day, where do we find the time to study? Besides, I don't like studying. I get sleepy as soon as I pick up a book."

Zhuang Chaoying stood up, quickly walked into the room, and soon brought over the enrollment brochure, handing it to Song Ying.

"Take a look, maybe you'll have some ideas after reading it."

Song Ying took the brochure and initially just flipped through it casually, but as she read on, she unconsciously became serious.

But soon, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"We don't know math or English either. These two subjects are too difficult; we feel like we can't learn them at all."

Zhuang Chaoying explained patiently, “You can learn Eagle Language from the children. They’re doing quite well in English now, and I know some too, so I can tutor you occasionally. As for math, that’s even simpler. With me here, I’ll teach you two. As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll definitely be able to learn it.”

Song Ying simply handed the brochure back and waved her hand. "Forget it, I can't handle studying after get off work. Teacher Zhuang, I'm not ambitious. My head gets foggy and I just want to sleep whenever I study."

Hearing Song Ying say that, Huang Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She thought to herself, no wonder she and Song Ying got along so well; neither of them liked studying.

Zhuang Chaoying took the brochure and placed it on a chair to the side, then turned her gaze to Huang Ling. "Ling, if you want to study, I'll take care of all the laundry and housework from now on, so you can focus on your studies. I fully support you, so don't worry about things at home."

Huang Ling shook her head. "Chao Ying, I don't like studying either, especially Eagle Language. It recognizes me, but I don't recognize it. Learning Eagle Language is harder than climbing to heaven for me. Before, when I watched Eagle Language learning programs with Xiao Ting and Tu Nan, Song Ying and I just wanted to sleep."

Song Ying looked at Zhuang Chaoying. "Teacher Zhuang, what are the benefits of studying?"

"There are many benefits. Your factory has reformed its wages, and with a higher education, you can apply for a professional title. The higher the title, the higher the salary. Moreover, you two are now the technical backbone of the factory. With a high school diploma, you can apply for a technician position, which will give you more room for career development in the future."

After hearing this, Song Ying waved her hand and said, "Teacher Zhuang, please spare me. My head is spinning just thinking about studying. Besides, a raise only adds eight yuan to my salary. I earn more than eight yuan knitting sweaters in my spare time! It's not worth it to study for such a small amount of money."

Huang Ling nodded in agreement, fully agreeing with Song Ying's words. "That's right, that's right, we're doing just fine as we are now."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at the two of them, who seemed so averse to studying.

Since Ah Ling and the others don't like studying, then let's just leave it at that.

Just then, a clear voice came from the courtyard gate: "Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, Teacher Zhuang, Uncle Lin, I heard that Xiaoting, Dongzhe, and Pengfei were admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so I came to see them. I happened to see some watermelons for sale, so I bought one."

Shanshan was standing at the gate of the courtyard, carrying a large watermelon in her hand.

Shanshan was happy to hear that Xiaoting, Dongzhe, and Pengfei had all been admitted to No. 1 Middle School. She had been busy helping Yiming with his stall during the day and studying at night, so she hadn't had much free time. Today, she finally had some free time, and most importantly, her beloved Tunan had also come back from his holiday.

Seeing this, Huang Ling immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked to Shan Shan's side, and took the watermelon from her hands. She still felt a little sorry for the sensible Shan Shan.

"Shanshan, you seem to have lost a lot of weight lately. Have you been working too hard?"

As he spoke, he gently pinched Shanshan's arm.

Song Ying also stood up, carefully looked Shanshan over, and nodded in agreement. "It's still a bit dark; setting up a stall must be hard work. Shanshan, have you eaten? Let's grab something to eat together!"

Shan Shan quickly waved her hand, a sweet smile on her face. "I've already eaten, Aunt Song. I just came to see everyone and bring you a watermelon."

Just then, Huang Ling finished eating and suddenly remembered the clothes she had made earlier. Her eyes lit up. "Shanshan, come with me to your Aunt Song Ying's house. I have a gift for you."

As he spoke, he took Shanshan's hand and walked towards Song Ying's house.

Huang Ling had previously bought a piece of white orchid-patterned fabric and made a shirt for Shan Shan.

She had been looking for the right time to give it to Shanshan, and today just happened to be the perfect opportunity.

After Song Ying led Shan Shan into the house, Huang Ling went home to get her clothes.

Huang Ling held a shirt in her hand. "Shanshan, try this on and see if it fits. If it's too big, Auntie can alter it to a smaller size."

Shanshan didn't stand on ceremony; she took the shirt and went into the inner room to change.

Not long after, she came out, the shirt she wore perfectly outlining her youthful figure.

"Perfect, thank you Aunt Huang, your cooking is excellent."

Looking at Shanshan in front of her, Song Ying thought, "The little girl has really grown up. She has a shapely figure and her skin is as tender as a freshly peeled egg."

She thought to herself how wonderful it would be to have a daughter.

Thinking of her own mischievous son, Lin Dongzhe, she shook her head, thinking that Lao Wu was just ungrateful. If she had a daughter, she would definitely cherish her like a precious treasure and would never treat Lin Dongzhe like that, beating and scolding him.

Thinking this, Song Ying turned around and walked to the cabinet, rummaging through it.

A moment later, she found two pure cotton bras, carefully checked Shanshan's size, and thought they should fit. She handed the bras to Shanshan somewhat embarrassedly.

"Shanshan, you're a young girl, so you must be too shy to buy this. Auntie bought you two, they should fit."

Shanshan blushed instantly and accepted the clothes somewhat shyly. "Thank you, Aunt Song. The two you gave me before are still wearable."

Song Ying stuffed the bra into Shan Shan's hand and patted her hand, "Underwear needs to be washed frequently, here you go."

After trying on the clothes, Huang Ling patted Shan Shan's arm and smiled. "Go play with Tu Nan and Xiao Ting, they're watching TV next door."

Shanshan nodded, wrapped her underwear in her shirt, put it in the mesh bag, and then went next door.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Zhuang Tunan watching TV, and her heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably.

"Brother Tu Nan, you're back." Her voice was a little soft, and there was a hint of nervousness in it.

Zhuang Tunan turned around, saw Shanshan, and gave her a polite smile. "Shanshan's here, come and sit down."

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat next to him.

Shanshan sat nervously next to Xiaoting. Xiaoting immediately hooked her arm around hers and said excitedly, "Sister Shanshan, we'll be schoolmates after school starts!"

Shanshan touched Xiaoting's braid and smiled. "Yes, Xiaoting and Dongzhe, congratulations on getting into No. 1 High School."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhuang Tunan, only to find that he was still intently watching TV, seemingly not paying much attention to her arrival.
