The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After the college entrance examination papers were marked, Zhuang Chaoying returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he found a group of children in the yard and thought he had walked into the wrong door.

"Dad." Zhuang Xiaoting shouted happily when she saw her father coming back.

"Xiaoting, Tunan, why are there so many children in your family?" Zhuang Chaoying asked puzzledly.

"They are all children from our neighborhood. They come here temporarily to do their homework. Their parents will pick them up after get off work." Wang Gang put down the book and said coldly to Zhuang Chaoying.

"Oh." Zhuang Chaoying put down his luggage and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"She's going out to get some soy sauce and will be back soon." Wang Gang hit Lin Dongzhe's little head with a book.

"Focus on your homework and don't look around."

Lin Dongzhe kept staring at the bag that Zhuang Chaoying put down. In the past, when Lin Wufeng came home from a business trip, he would always bring back gifts. Lin Dongzhe thought Zhuang Chaoying would do the same.

"Uncle Zhuang, I'm Lin Dongzhe, I live next door." Lin Dongzhe said to Zhuang Chaoying in a familiar manner: "Did you bring any gifts back from your business trip?"

"Ah!" Zhuang Chaoying was overwhelmed by Lin Dongzhe.

Zhuang Xiaoting shouted speechlessly: "Lin Dongzhe, concentrate on your homework, be careful or I won't let my brother tell you stories."

After hearing this, Lin Dongzhe turned his attention back to the textbook.

Zhuang Chaoying said awkwardly: "Tunan, Xiaoting, Dad is on a business trip this time for work and has no time to buy gifts."

Wang Gang nodded indifferently. He never expected Zhuang Chaoying to bring back a gift. It was good enough that he didn't bring back a "Three-Year College Entrance Examination and Five-Year Simulation".

Huang Ling quickly packed her bags and went home. She was very happy to see Zhuang Chaoying and kept asking about the college entrance examination.

“There are a lot of people signing up for the college entrance examination this time. I will take Tuanan and Xiaoting to watch the announcement of the results in two days so that they can also feel it.” Zhuang Chaoying said excitedly.

"While you were away from home for a few days, Tuanan finished all the first-grade courses on his own." Huang Ling said with a smile.

“After the neighbors knew that Tunan had skipped a grade, they all wanted to send their children to him for help with their studies.”

Zhuang Chaoying frowned and said, "It didn't affect Tunan's studies, did it?!"

Huang Ling said: "Except for Lin Dongzhe from next door, I found a way to decline all the offers."

Zhuang Chaoying nodded and said, "You did the right thing."

As a teacher, Zhuang Chaoying naturally attaches great importance to his children's studies. He does not want his son to neglect his own studies because of helping others with tutoring, which is putting the cart before the horse.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jianguo came to pick up his children. When he saw Zhuang Chaoying, he chatted with her for a few minutes before leaving.

After get off work, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng insisted on treating the Zhuang family to a meal, saying that it was to thank them for taking care of Lin Dongzhe.

When Zhuang Chaoying heard that Lin Wufeng was a student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, she did not refuse.

The two families sat together to eat. Huang Ling cooked two dishes and brought them over. Lin Wufeng bought some pork head, which was considered a sincere treat.

Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't take their eyes off the meat, but Zhuang Xiaoting was very polite and didn't dare to move her chopsticks until the adults did.

On the contrary, Lin Dongzhe was lawless and directly tried to grab the pig's head, but was hit back by Song Ying with a chopstick.

"You stupid kid, how can you grab the food with your hands? Are others going to eat it?" Song Ying scolded her son.

"Mom, I washed my hands." Lin Dongzhe covered his hands and said aggrievedly.

"It's not okay even after washing your hands. How rude!" Song Ying said to Huang Ling awkwardly:
"Sister Ling, I'm sorry, this naughty boy in my house doesn't know the rules. I didn't teach him well."

Huang Ling smiled and said, "It's okay, let the children eat first! Tunan and Xiaoting haven't eaten meat for a long time."

"Yes, yes, children, eat first." Zhuang Chaoying took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat for Lin Dongzhe.

Lin Dongzhe grabbed the meat directly with his hands and put it into his mouth.

"Use chopsticks." Song Ying said angrily again.

Wang Gang handed the chopsticks to Lin Dongzhe, who took them honestly and did not dare to refuse.

Lin Wufeng said in amazement: "My kid is not afraid of anything except Tunan. Only Tunan can deal with him. It's amazing." Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said: "Children like to play with older children."

Song Ying sighed: "My Dongzhe is an only child. He used to play by himself. Since he moved to the alley and became a neighbor with Sister Ling, Dongzhe has two more playmates."

Huang Ling joked: "That's not easy, you and Engineer Lin can give Dongzhe a brother or sister."

Song Ying rolled her eyes and said, "I won't give birth to a child. Giving birth to Dongzhe almost cost me half my life. I don't want to go through it again."

Zhuang Chaoying asked Lin Wufeng: "Does Mr. Lin have many brothers and sisters?"

Lin Wufeng nodded and said, "I came from Fujian, my brothers and sisters are all there."

Zhuang Chaoying asked: "Mr. Lin, have you ever thought about going back to reunite with your family? It would be nice to have a brother to help you!"

Huang Ling sneered and said, "Sometimes having more brothers and sisters is not always a good thing."

Zhuang Chaoying pretended not to understand.

Lin Wufeng explained: "My brothers and sisters have each started their own families in my hometown. I don't have to worry about them anymore. Besides, my hometown is poor!"

"That will change in the future." Zhuang Chaoying said excitedly: "With the resumption of the college entrance examination this time, there will be more and more college students in the future."

When the topic turned to the college entrance examination, Lin Wufeng and Zhuang Chaoying became chattering enthusiastically. One of them is a college student and the other is a high school teacher, so they have a lot of common topics.

Lin Weifeng even opened a bottle of wine and drank it with Zhuang Chaoying.

After three rounds of drinks, the appearance of two people broke the atmosphere.

"Is Teacher Zhuang home?"

When Zhuang Chaoying heard the voice, he felt it was familiar. He walked out of the Lin family and saw that it was his former student Li Yiming and his cousin Song Xiangyang.

"Teacher Zhuang, I heard that you came back from marking the papers. I want to ask you a favor." Li Yiming pulled his cousin Song Xiangyang and said to Zhuang Chaoying:
"My cousin and I didn't do well in the college entrance examination this time. We want to take the college entrance examination next year. Can you help us and give us some tutoring?"

"Ah, this..." Zhuang Chaoying hesitated for a moment. He was usually very busy with work and had no time to take care of his own children's studies, so how could he help others with their lessons?

Li Yiming said: "Teacher Zhuang, I know that the college entrance examination is the only chance to change my fate, and I really don't want to give up."

Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said, "Li Yiming, it's great that you have such an idea, but I usually have a heavy teaching load at school."

Li Yiming said anxiously: "We promise not to take up your working time. We will come for tutoring after you get off work."

At this time, the people in the room heard the noise and came out. Song Ying said to Li Yiming sarcastically: "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused? It's Mr. Zhuang's rest time after get off work. Why should he help you with your studies?"

Huang Ling pulled Song Ying's arm, then said in a friendly manner: "Li Yiming, my son Tuanan will be taking the junior high school entrance exam next year. Your teacher Zhuang will help him with his homework after get off work."

Zhuang Chaoying knew that Huang Ling was helping him to refuse Li Yiming, so he pushed his glasses silently and said nothing.

Li Yiming said seriously: "How can the transition from primary school to junior high school be compared with the college entrance examination?"

"Puchi." Song Ying couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Li Yiming is confused?
Wang Gang sighed, walked out and said to Li Yiming: "You guys go back! My dad doesn't have time to help you with your studies. You can go ask other teachers."

Li Yiming said stubbornly: "Teacher Zhuang, you are my teacher!"

Wang Gang said impatiently: "Why don't you understand? My dad is helping you out of favor, and not helping you is a matter of course. How can I beg for help like you do?"

"Tunan." Zhuang Chaoying scolded Wang Gang.

Li Yiming opened his mouth in surprise. His cousin Song Xiangyang seemed to understand something and asked Zhuang Chaoying: "Teacher Zhuang, do you want tuition fees?"

"Of course not." Zhuang Chaoying said hurriedly.

Li Yiming didn't listen to Zhuang Chaoying's explanation at all, and said angrily: "Teacher Zhuang, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Zhuang Chaoying's face turned pale and blue, and he felt a little embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
