Chapter 1500 Stand out
After Suning handed over the renovation of the old villa to Teacher Ruan, he no longer cared about this matter. After all, his current work was really busy.

However, when Suning saw the renovation plan formulated by Teacher Ruan, he felt quite satisfied, and then the renovation work of the old villa began.

"Professor Zhuang, I will arrange for Li Jia to contact you from now on. If you have any new requests, remember to contact Li Jia."

"Good! Teacher Ruan, your repair plan is pretty good so far."

"Haha, Professor Zhuang, I'm glad you're satisfied."

In fact, the work of renovating this old villa is not difficult. In addition, Suning does not have any weird requirements, so there is no need to have too much contact with Li Jia.

When Zhuang Tunan returned home at this time, he learned from his mother Huang Ling that Suning had returned to China. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel surprised. Several children were clamoring to go to Shanghai to find their father and uncle.

Unfortunately, they were all stopped by Huang Ling. After all, she could see that Suning didn't want to invest too much emotion in this family, so the stubborn Huang Ling didn't want to bow to Suning easily.

Zhuang Tuanan’s summer vacation was about to end. Huang Ling was worried that he would not be able to taste the food of his hometown when he returned to school, so she bought some fish and shrimp, hoping to let the child have a few good meals in the next two days.

At the same time, she also made some Suzhou specialty cakes and snacks, preparing for Zhuang Tunan to take them to the "unfaithful man", and Zhuang Tunan saw all of this.

Zhuang Tunan looked at Huang Ling with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Mom, have you ever thought about remarrying my dad?"

However, Huang Ling shook her head with a wry smile on her face. She had long seen that Su Ning wanted to divorce her. "Your father is a doctor and professor now. How could he still be interested in an old woman like me?"

"This..." Zhuang Tunan didn't quite understand what Huang Ling said.

At this moment, Huang Ling suddenly looked up at Zhuang Tunan and said seriously, "Tunan, Mom is placing all her hopes on you now. Don't let Mom down!"

"Mom, don't worry! I will definitely work hard."

"Ah."

Then Zhuang Tunan thought of his grandparents again and wanted to tell them about this happy event. "Mom, should we tell them about Dad's return?"

"Don't meddle in other people's business! If your father wants to say something, he will say it himself. Also, don't say anything about your father in front of your grandparents." Huang Ling stopped Zhuang Tuanan from thinking of this.

"Huh? Okay!"

Huang Ling did not tell Zhuang Tunan about what happened some time ago, because Zhuang's father and mother's calculations were really disgusting. They actually set their sights on the living expenses that Hualin gave to Pengfei.

Of course, Huang Ling was eager for Zhuang's father and mother to take Pengfei away. She was originally forced to accept Pengfei, and this was the responsibility of the Zhuang family.

However, Pengfei resolutely rejected Zhuang's father and mother's request, and exposed that Zhuang's father and mother were after the living expenses in his hands, which made Zhuang's father and mother blush with shame.

Therefore, Zhuang's father and mother felt particularly aggrieved and angry. They even scolded Pengfei in public for having no conscience and no manners. They also told Pengfei not to visit their house again and not to call them grandpa and grandma anymore.

Such a dispute naturally shocked everyone in the cotton mill. Everyone then witnessed the unreasonableness of Zhuang's father and mother, and once again became convinced that it was Zhuang's father and mother who forced Su Ning and Huang Ling to divorce.

Then the neighbors of the cotton mill all looked at Zhuang's father and mother strangely, which made the two old men feel uneasy and they finally left the cotton mill in disgrace.

Of course, this incident also made Pengfei, who was not close to Zhuang's father and mother, completely heartbroken, and it was also considered that he officially broke with Zhuang's father and mother. After reaching a consensus with his parents in Guizhou, Pengfei never set foot in Zhuang's father and mother's door again.

……

At this time, Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting's notebooks had become very popular, and the neighbors of the cotton mill all wanted their children to use Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting's notebooks.

Even Lin Dongzhe's notes were borrowed by others. It can be seen that the employees of the cotton mill are aware of the importance of knowledge and want their own children to become successful.

After all, the cotton mill is a place with no future, and the children's future cannot be pinned on it. It seems that the only way to change their destiny is to rely on knowledge.

Wang Fang's child Zhou Qing next door is about to start school. She wants her child to study with Zhuang Xiaoting, but Huang Ling declined.

Because Zhuang Xiaoting was followed by a hooligan at night before, but Wang Fang, who happened to pass by, turned a blind eye.

It was Aunt Li from the convenience store who asked Zhuang Xiaoting to hide at her place. Later, Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei dealt with those little hooligans, and the troublesome matter was finally resolved.

Huang Ling knew that Lin Dongzhe was a good boy and now followed Zhuang Xiaoting. She also asked Song Ying to scold Lin Dongzhe less in the future.

Huang Ling felt that Wang Fang was not as capable as a child, so she would definitely not suffer such injustice for the so-called neighborhood relationship.

Moreover, with Wang Fang's personality, I'm not sure what kind of children she will raise. I think it's better to keep a distance from them.

Then Song Ying looked at Huang Ling again and asked Su Ning, "Sister Ling, why don't you let Tunan and Xiaoting go to Shanghai to see their father?"

"Shanghai is so close to Suzhou. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago. So it's better not to let the children disturb him." Huang Ling looked at Song Ying helplessly and explained.

"This..." As expected, Song Ying had not considered this issue.

Huang Ling then expressed her own speculation. How could a man who was used to the world of pleasure and debauchery still keep his mind at ease? "Song Ying, Zhuang Chaoying is a professor at the university now. He must have his own life. Can't you be so ignorant as to be tactful?"

"Hey! Sister Ling, God is really unfair to you. He arranged such a good husband for you, but I didn't expect you to get divorced halfway."

"..."

Huang Ling knew this truth very well, but unfortunately there was not much she could do. The only thing she could do was to endure it all silently.

Fortunately, her two children are very well-behaved, so she places all her hopes on them and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

……

Before leaving, Zhuang Tuanan went to his grandparents' house. As expected, his weird grandparents made new requests. They wanted Zhennan and Zhenbei to live in the cotton mill again, and then let Zhuang Xiaoting take care of these two burdens.

In the end, it was Zhuang Tuanan who offered to help Zhennan and Zhenbei copy notes, which made the grandparents temporarily give up the idea. They had always treated their eldest son's family as a cash cow and treasure chest.

However, Zhuang Tunan thought of Lin Dongzhe first. At present, there was no more suitable tool than Lin Dongzhe, so he agreed to this unreasonable request without hesitation.

Zhuang Tunan arranged for Lin Dongzhe to copy Zhuang Xiaoting's notes, forcing him to review and learn knowledge, which also solved Zhuang Tunan's problem. As a result, Lin Dongzhe had no time to do his own homework. In order to get Zhuang Xiaoting to help him with his homework, he told Zhuang Tunan about the girl he liked, and also kept the fact that Zhuang Xiaoting read romance novels a secret.

Shanshan is now also a student in the Department of Literature at Tongji University. When she heard that Zhuang Tunan had returned from the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, she immediately wanted to come over and reminisce with Zhuang Tunan.

Then she came to visit Huang Ling specially, and the excuse was naturally Huang Ling's reminder to her. Unfortunately, Huang Ling was not at home.

Zhuang Tunan, who was standing by, asked Shanshan to come home in the evening so that they could get together. Shanshan agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, Wu Shanshan suddenly looked at Zhuang Tunan with a smile on her face and asked, "Brother Tunan, I heard that your Department of Architecture is having activities this summer?"

"Yes! Going to Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi for an investigation is actually working to protect ancient buildings." Zhuang Tunan answered without taking it seriously, and went to the convenience store to buy orange juice for Wu Shanshan.

Sure enough, Wu Shanshan looked at Zhuang Tunan in front of her with admiration, "Brother Tunan, you guys are really amazing."

Zhuang Tunan, somewhat overwhelmed by Wu Shanshan's gaze, quickly said awkwardly, "It's not us who are so good! It's our team leader, Mr. Ruan, who is so good. He is the spiritual pillar of our architecture department."

Wu Shanshan naturally couldn't care less about Teacher Ruan. Instead, she asked the question that concerned her most, "Brother Tunan, I heard that there are more men than women in your Department of Architecture. I guess you haven't been in a relationship yet?"

"Huh? Shanshan, what nonsense are you talking about? Students should focus on their studies. How can they think about these messy things all day long?" Zhuang Tunan scolded with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Oh! Brother Tunan, I understand."

At this moment, Wu Shanshan was undoubtedly feeling a little happy in her heart. You know, she had never given up her pursuit of Zhuang Tunan. Now that she and Zhuang Tunan were in the same school, that feeling naturally became stronger.

Lin Wufeng knew that Zhuang Tunan had been tutoring children, and he didn't want to use him for free, so he planned to pay Zhuang Tunan some tuition fees according to the market price. Zhuang Tunan declined, after all, Lin Dongzhe had personally delivered the bicycle to him.

Lin Wufeng felt really embarrassed. Seeing this, Zhuang Tunan asked Lin Wufeng to buy him some more apples. Lin Dongzhe had sent them to him at school before, and they were quite delicious.

Lin Wufeng agreed decisively.

At this time, Li Jia's father quarreled with his younger brothers and sisters-in-law about Wenwen's settlement, and his grandparents could not do anything about it, which made the whole family in chaos.

Li Jia knew that her uncle and aunt were worried that they would divide the house, so she took the initiative to write a letter of guarantee. Sure enough, her uncle and aunt were satisfied and agreed to let Wenwen settle down.

Since Wenwen has settled down, Li Jia persuaded her parents to bring her brother back to their hometown. She knew that it was not pleasant to live under someone else's roof, and only by getting into a prestigious university like her could she change her fate.

Although Li Jia's parents knew that their child had been wronged, they also felt helpless. The couple decided to die in Shanghai.

This incident also made Li Jia completely give up hope. She had never wanted to make a name for herself as much as she did now. She wanted to marry a rich man with a Shanghai hukou so that she would no longer have to endure such a hard life.

After Zhuang Tuanan returned to school, he immediately gave the apples to Li Jia. Li Jia had said that apples were delicious, and Zhuang Tuanan secretly remembered it, so he took the opportunity to ask Lin Wufeng for these apples.

As a result, Li Jia actually distributed the apples to her classmates and teachers, and kept none for herself. She also told her classmates that she didn't like them. Naturally, Zhuang Tunan felt very disappointed.

Zhuang Tunan was surprised to learn from his teacher that Li Jia had submitted an application to join the party, as he was not aware of this news.

He felt very uncomfortable when he saw Li Jia playing and fighting with other classmates, and realized that Li Jia was deliberately distancing herself from him.

Zhuang Tunan discovered that Li Jia was indeed deliberately avoiding him, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Li Jia, why are you deliberately avoiding me?"

"Zhuang Tunan, I know what you think of me, but we are really not suitable for each other." Li Jia, who came from an unhappy family, was naturally a little extreme and believed that some things were not something a child like her could hope for.

"Why is this happening? Wasn't everything fine in Pingyao Ancient City?" Zhuang Tunan would never understand.

"Zhuang Tunan, I hope you won't come to see me again in the future, so as to avoid rumors spreading to our classmates and causing misunderstandings."

"This……"

……

Lin Dongzhe found the person who was pulling out the valve core in the school carport, so he naturally ran over and fought with him. In the end, he was covered in bruises and looked like a general.

The angry teacher punished him by making him stand outside the classroom for a week during morning classes. Zhuang Xiaoting was worried that Lin Dongzhe would be scolded, so she took the initiative to explain to Song Ying that Lin Dongzhe fell while playing basketball. She also deliberately waited for Lin Dongzhe at the door of her house to remind him not to let the cat out of the bag.

However, Song Ying, who already knew the details, scolded Lin Dongzhe, but Huang Ling pulled her away and treated Lin Dongzhe's wound attentively. Huang Ling still felt sorry for Lin Dongzhe and thought that this child was indeed a good child.

Huang Ling looked at Lin Dongzhe with a face full of pity and said to him, "Our Lin Dongzhe is the best and warmest boy in the world. It's just that you, as a mother, don't know how to be satisfied."

"Hehe, Auntie, what you said is very good. My mother just doesn't know how to be satisfied." Sure enough, Lin Dongzhe became excited after receiving the praise.

Song Ying, standing by, was about to explode at Lin Dongzhe, "Humph! You naughty monkey, I think you're itching for trouble again."

"Mom, I have my aunt to protect me, you don't dare to hit me."

"Hmph! Then should we give it a try?"

"..."

At this time, Huang Ling hurriedly promised Lin Dongzhe, "Dongzhe, don't be afraid of your mother. I will make you something delicious today."

"Thank you, Auntie." Sure enough, Lin Dongzhe became happy when he heard that there was something delicious.

"Auntie should be the one thanking you! If you and Pengfei hadn't taken turns protecting Xiaoting, and if you hadn't fought with her classmates for her this time, I don't know how worried I would be about Xiaoting."

At this time, Lin Dongzhe patted his chest and assured Huang Ling, "Auntie, don't worry! I will be Xiaoting's protector from now on, and I will never let anyone bully her."

"Okay! Auntie believes you."
