Chapter 395 Superhero, I'll Take Care of You
Zhuang Chaoying rode his motorcycle, the streetlights casting a long shadow under the dim light.
The streets were sparsely populated, and the evening air was still very stuffy and uncomfortable.
Sweat quickly soaked through most of his short-sleeved shirt, which clung tightly to his back.
He pushed the cart into his yard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Ah Ling walking quickly out of the house.
She walked over to Zhuang Chaoying and took the briefcase from his hand. "I saved some food for you. Shanshan is coming today, and Song Ying and I made four dishes."
Zhuang Chaoying responded, then turned around, opened the back box of the motorcycle, took out the stack of lesson plans and notes, and followed Ah Ling into the house.
He went inside and gently placed the book into a cardboard box that had been prepared at the door.
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the pastries displayed on the shelf, and she stepped into the kitchen. "Did Shanshan buy these?"
Huang Ling was taking a plate out of the steamer; it contained dishes that had been specially reserved for Chao Ying.
"Xiaojun is about to take the high school entrance exam, and Shanshan came back to accompany him. Chaoying, tell me, are all men this heartless? Her ex-husband isn't worried about whether Shanshan has hepatitis A, he's only thinking about the fear of her getting infected."
Zhuang Chaoying quickly took the plate, walked out of the kitchen, and placed it on the living room table. "Ah Ling, you can talk about him, but don't drag me into it. I'm not an ordinary man, Ah Ling, you definitely know that."
After saying that, he plopped down in the chair, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.
Huang Ling moved a chair and sat down opposite him. She was about to say something when she suddenly stopped.
Watching Zhuang Chaoying eat, he got up after a moment, walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beer, opened it with a bottle opener, and handed it to her.
Zhuang Chaoying was eating her food and felt a bit thirsty. Seeing this, she quickly took the beer, gulped it down, and let out a satisfying burp.
Then he looked up at Ah Ling, his expression slightly complicated. "Ah Ling, from today onwards, I am an unemployed middle-aged person."
Huang Ling picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, held it to his lips, and said tenderly, "Chao Ying, I'll take care of you."
Although Chao Ying doesn't usually mention his love for this job, every time you see him worrying about his students and preparing lessons, you can tell from his seriousness that he truly loves teaching and nurturing people.
All the family's assets are registered in his name, but it seems that Chao Ying only owns ten acres of land in Kyoto.
In Huang Ling's heart, Chao Ying was such a good person, how could she not love him, how could she not want to have a child with him?
But the prerequisite for having a child is that the person in front of you is someone you can entrust your life to, and Chao Ying is undoubtedly that person.
Zhuang Chaoying opened her mouth, took the twice-cooked pork, nodded with a smile, and deliberately acted silly. "Ah Ling, then I'll really just stay home and live off my wife."
Huang Ling tilted her head. "I'll cook the rice a little softer so it's easier for you to digest, okay, Chaoying?"
Zhuang Chaoying laughed. Ah Ling is really thoughtful.
If you want to live off your wife well, you need to have your own abilities, smile at her, and be caring and considerate.
He replied with a grin, "Ah Ling, my teeth are fine, they don't need to be too bad."
Looking at Chao Ying's cheeky expression, Huang Ling couldn't help but gently slap him. "You old lecher, hurry up and eat, then wash up and go to bed."
After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn, feeling that she hadn't been getting enough sleep lately.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her slightly protruding four-and-a-half-month pregnant belly, recalling that her belly hadn't grown this fast last month, but today she suddenly found it had grown quite a bit.
It seems I really need to apply for a leave of absence without pay. If I wait any longer, I won't be able to hide my pregnancy any longer.
Huang Ling looked up. "Chao Ying, come with me tomorrow to apply for a leave of absence without pay."
"Okay, I'll boil some water in a bit, you can soak your feet."
Zhuang Chaoying quickly filled his stomach and finished a bottle of beer.
Then, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and went to the sink. He filled a kettle with water and plugged it in.
Wash the dishes and chopsticks thoroughly and put them in the cupboard.
Carrying the kettle in one hand and a basin of cold water in the other, I walked to the sofa.
Mix the hot and cold water together and adjust the temperature. "Ah Ling, put your feet in."
As he spoke, he sat down on a small stool, his eyes fixed on Ah Ling's belly. "Ah Ling, have you noticed? Your belly seems to have gotten a little bigger."
"Shanshan asked me today, saying that I look like I've gained weight and now I can only wear loose clothes."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded and earnestly advised, "Once your belly gets a little bigger, don't go out. Otherwise, you might run into the neighborhood officials or acquaintances, and we can't guess what they'll think."
"understood."
After washing up, the two went back upstairs.
Zhuang Chaoying walked to the table, picked up the glass bottle on it, which contained pregnancy oil he had bought from the system's shopping mall. However, he told A-Ling that he had bought olive oil on the black market, and that the book said that olive oil had a very good moisturizing function and could increase the skin's elasticity.
Of course, the products produced by the system are definitely not comparable to ordinary olive oil, and if it says it won't cause stretch marks, then it absolutely won't.
Huang Ling lay on the bed, watching Zhuang Chaoying pour oil into her palm, and couldn't help but say, "Chaoying, put on less, otherwise your clothes will get oily."
He said this with an air of seriousness as he unscrewed the bottle cap.
"Ah Ling, this is a legitimate method I found in a book. Applying this oil will prevent stretch marks."
"Just lie there quietly, I'll do it for you, and you have to apply it every day from now on."
He kept in mind that the expectant father should insist on applying pregnancy oil to his pregnant wife, and should not be afraid of wasting it. When applying it, the belly should be covered, and it should be applied from bottom to top. Never rub in circles.
Just as Zhuang Chaoying was carefully applying the ointment, he suddenly felt a very slight movement under his hand.
He opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked up at Ah Ling in disbelief.
Huang Ling looked at his dazed expression and couldn't help but laugh, saying softly, "Silly boy, that's fetal movement."
Zhuang Chaoying instantly became excited and quickly pressed her ear close. "Hello, baby, it's Daddy, can you hear me?"
Huang Ling looked at him, feeling both amused and annoyed. She reached out and gently stroked his hair. "You idiot."
. . . . . . . .
The next day, Zhuang Chaoying got up early, heated two cups of milk in the kitchen, took out bread from the refrigerator, and boiled two eggs.
After they finished eating, the two went to the cotton mill to process Huang Ling's leave of absence without pay.
As soon as Huang Ling entered the cotton mill's office, Section Chief Zhou was sitting at his desk, busy at work.
"Huang Ling, what's the matter? Please sit down."
"Section Chief Zhou, I'm here to apply for a leave of absence without pay."
His face instantly showed surprise, his eyes widened, and he muttered to himself.
"Huang Ling, what's wrong? You want to take a leave of absence without pay? You're doing a really good job. The factory is in high demand and short supply of fabric right now. You even got a quarterly bonus recently. Why are you just quitting like this?"
Huang Ling sat steadily in the chair opposite her. "Section Chief Zhou, I haven't been feeling well lately and would like to go home to recuperate for a while. This also allows me to respond to the factory's call to apply for a leave of absence without pay. I would also like to thank Section Chief Zhou and everyone for taking care of me over the years. Thank you."
In fact, she knew in her heart that once the factory and the neighborhood found out about her pregnancy, she might not be able to keep her job. So she might as well take the initiative to request a leave of absence without pay so that she could focus on her pregnancy.
