Chapter 2029 Zhuang Chaoying's Confession
"Borrow a house?"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled bitterly and shook his head, taking off his glasses and looking a little tired.

"As for me, I no longer have the ability to manage others. I have not lived a clear life and now I find myself failing at everything at the age of 60!"

"Huh?" Zhuang Tuxi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he frowned and looked at him seriously, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying.

His expression gradually became serious.

"Mr. Zhuang, please sit down and talk~"

Sit down on the sofa in the reception area.

Zhuang Chaoying looked around the office, and as if he had been sublimated, he leaned back on the sofa and smiled.

“Not bad~”

"What's good?"

"You are very good!"

It's like playing charades.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, stop praising me here~" Zhuang Tuxi made some tea and handed it over.

"I'm hungry!"

"Let's go, dinner is on your table~"

The company has a cafeteria, and Zhuang Tuxi didn't take him out to eat. He asked the chef to prepare a few dishes and send them to the private room that was usually used for receptions.

“Try the Northeastern cuisine. The chef is a native of Fengtian. The sweet and sour pork is very authentic!”

During the time that Zhuang Chaoying stayed at her eldest son's house, she actually ate only Northeastern cuisine, because the place where Li's father and mother went to work in the countryside was in the Northeast, and even after returning to Shanghai, her taste had changed.

"Is there any wine?"

"Have!"

Zhuang Tuxi had two bottles of white wine delivered, which he opened and poured into two cups respectively.

"Slurp~" Zhuang Chaoying picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, then quickly ate some food to suppress the smell of the alcohol.

"This wine is good!"

The two chatted casually like this, and although they didn't eat much of the food, they quickly finished a bottle of white wine.

Zhuang Chaoying was already slightly drunk, and also showed some regret.

"Ge~" He leaned back in the chair with a dazed look in his eyes, leaning forward and trying hard to cheer himself up.

He spoke in a very serious tone: "Tuxi, do you think I have been a complete failure in my life?"

"fail?"

"Well...I shouldn't use the word failure. It's just that you care too much about some things and confine yourself to a circle!"

Zhuang Tuxi gave a very fair evaluation.

This person has no other problems!
I just care too much about face~
He would rather suffer injustice himself than make others satisfied. If anyone criticizes him, he will probably not be able to sleep well at night.

"It wasn't until today that I realized that your mother had a very difficult life. It was so unbearable, but I didn't understand it at the time!"

"You always think about your father and grandmother, and end up neglecting your own small family. You always think that it's okay for you to suffer a little, and even your family suffers with you. And you still think it's your due, not knowing that the people closest to you care about you the most!"

Recalling everything that happened during this period, the eldest son Zhuang Tunan seemed like a mirror, reflecting Zhuang Chaoying completely.

The eldest son Zhuang Tunan, the child he was once most proud of, now has no house at all. He even had to go to his younger brother to borrow a house for his parents-in-law to live in!

My goodness, even when his father-in-law's younger brother owed gambling debts and the money from selling the house was not enough, this brat actually set his sights on his retirement money.

"We're all family!" These words sounded so ironic.

It's ridiculous.
But Zhuang Chaoying was laughing at himself, because wasn't he the same back then?

I'm afraid if it weren't for his wife Huang Ling, he would have wanted to move the whole family back to the old house just to win a word of praise from his parents.

"Ah~"

"Your eldest brother is so much like me!"

Zhuang Tuxi shook his head when he heard this, obviously disagreeing. "No, no, no!"

"It's not like you, but now I'm even better than you~"

"What do you mean this time, or do you hope that I can help him?"

Zhuang Tuxi really couldn't help but ask this question. Such a big change suddenly happened. Could it be that Zhuang Chaoying was reborn at the age of sixty?

"No, no, no!" Zhuang Chaoying also shook his head like his youngest son.

I just took a sip of wine and felt much better after saying it.

"My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. My life has been a failure. How can I be qualified to care about these miscellaneous matters!"

"I used to show off my style and would rather live in a small house than give up my big house to my colleague. At that time, I seemed to receive grateful looks, but in fact, I was just meddling in other people's business in the end~"

"It's none of your business!"

Okay, Zhuang Tuxi raised his eyebrows.

What is this called?
It takes a lifetime for a person to teach another person, and it probably takes less than two months for things to teach a person. No matter whether Zhuang Chaoying truly repents or not, at least his attitude is much stronger than before.

To be honest, Zhuang Tuxi felt that his mother Huang Ling was partly responsible for Zhuang Chaoying becoming like this. She was just a little too pampered to him!

Why don't you dare to quarrel with him?
Of course, if we look back at this, I'm afraid this is also the sadness of an era. People emphasize the three obediences and four virtues, but they don't have a good mother-in-law, so the family is rotten to the core.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Me?" Zhuang Chaoying waved his hand drunkenly. "I have gained a lot from wandering around for a while. There are many nursing homes with good environments!"

"The country is paying more and more attention to teachers now. My monthly pension is enough for me to spend. Besides, you won't really ignore me, right?"

"Besides, I have a daughter~"

"Hahaha!" It was the first time that Zhuang Tuxi saw Lao Zhuang speak in this tone.

He usually wears glasses, and the buttons of his Zhongshan suit are meticulously fastened. His clothes are ironed straight, and he speaks in a serious manner, like a typical veteran cadre.

When did you ever joke?
I don’t know if it’s because I’m old and want to let go of myself, or if I’m using the alcohol to vent.

"Teacher Zhuang, our old house has been empty, and Aunt Song's house next door is also unoccupied. How about you make use of your remaining energy and open an after-school class to kill time?"

It's naturally impossible to really ignore it.

No matter what, despite what people say before, if parents divorce, each of them should raise one child. In fact, given the current national conditions, it will be impossible to really ignore it even after another 20 or 30 years.

It's just a difference in attitude.

It is impossible for Zhuang Tuxi to bring the child home, he really cannot do that, but he can help hire a nanny or something, and take the child back home more often during the holidays, which is also fulfilling the filial piety that the original body should have.

"The old house is running an after-school program?"

"Correct!"

"As a former Dean of Studies, why don't you make use of your remaining energy while you have nothing else to do?"

"Well...it's a good idea indeed!" Zhuang Chaoying patted his slightly drunken head. He didn't know what was going on with him recently. It was probably because he was getting older. He could always recall the past events when he was at home.

Living back in the old house was exactly what he wanted.

"You don't know that since I retired, I've always felt empty inside and I can't get motivated to do anything!"

After that, they drank one glass after another, and the second bottle of white wine was soon finished. At this time, the situation changed a little. If Zhuang Chaoying could still remain sober before, he was now basically completely drunk.

What he said was totally irrelevant, but one thing was made very clear, which was his dissatisfaction with his eldest son Zhuang Tunan.

Zhuang Tuxi listened and shook his head. This person, no matter what time it was, would always subconsciously look for reasons elsewhere to pay for the mistakes he had made before.

Never mind. That's it.
Afterwards, they asked someone to open a hotel and sent a car to take the drunk and unconscious Zhuang Chaoying there.

Zhuang Tuxi himself made a phone call and asked someone to clean up the old house.

To be continued...

(PS, if it wasn’t a novel, it would probably be difficult for Zhuang Chaoying to modify it, right?)
