Chapter 11, Mission to Get Rid of Wang Yong Completed: Reward: Gene Optimization Sugar Pill
Zhuang Chaoying sat on the stool and took off her dirty shoes and clothes. The shoes were covered in mud, and the clothes were covered in dust.
"Chaoying, did you and Engineer Lin go to get some soil today?"
Zhuang Chaoying drank her hot water and nodded: "Yeah, before going to bed, I put the sandbag at the door. Look at the sky outside, it's dark and gloomy. It's definitely going to rain tonight. That's called giving them a taste of their own medicine."
Huang Ling smiled. "Look how smug you are, it hasn't even rained yet."
The heavy rain that night arrived as expected, with raindrops pattering against the window.
Zhuang Chaoying quickly put on her raincoat, opened the door and called out to the neighbor, "Engineer Lin, come out!"
"Here they come!" Lin Wufeng also ran out wearing a raincoat.
The two of them worked together to block the doorway with the sack.
Lin Wufeng stomped on the sandbag again, a broad smile spreading across his face: "Teacher Zhuang, let's wait for it to rain tonight and see what Wang Yong's family does then."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled and nodded: "Engineer Lin, it's cold, come inside quickly."
After entering the room, Zhuang Chaoying washed her hands, sat down at her desk, and prepared to begin working on her first novel.
He wanted to write a science fiction novel, to describe the amazing things that only exist in the 21st century, things that, in this era, would be as fantastical as those from distant stars.
He turned on the desk lamp, its dim light casting a warm glow on the surface. He then took out some manuscript paper and filled his fountain pen with ink.
I feel that my memory is excellent. Combined with the movies I've watched over the years, I can write very fast, with the pen tip scratching on the paper.
Tu Nan and Xiao Ting, who were reading in the cabin, heard the noise and came over out of curiosity.
Xiaoting blinked her big eyes, leaned on the table, and asked, "Dad, what are you writing?"
Zhuang Chaoying looked up: "Dad is writing a book, a science fiction novel. When Dad finishes writing it, you and your brother will be the first to read it, okay!"
Xiaoting nodded excitedly: "Okay."
However, before Zhuang Chaoying had written two thousand words, a rumbling thunderclap sounded, followed by a flash of lightning streaking across the night sky.
The power suddenly went out, and everything was pitch black.
Zhuang Chaoying quickly put the manuscript paper into the drawer.
Tu Nan cried out, "Dad, Mom, I'm scared!"
Xiaoting ran over crying. "Daddy, I'm scared too!"
Huang Ling quickly hugged Tu Nan and Xiao Ting, gently comforting them, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Mom and Dad are here!"
The bed, which wasn't big to begin with, was crammed with four people, and their body heat helped them stay warm.
In the middle of the night, a panicked voice came from Wang Yong's house next door: "Oh no, our house is flooded!"
"Wake up, wake up, you're still sleeping."
"It's flooded!"
"What's going on? Quick, grab something and get the water out!"
Huang Ling put on her clothes, opened the door, and a chill rushed out.
Then I saw Song Ying from next door standing at the door.
Song Ying rubbed her arms: "Sister Ling, it's raining heavily. Luckily, Teacher Zhuang and Wu Feng had prepared in advance, otherwise our house would have been flooded too. We're going to live in this courtyard for most of our lives, and we can't afford to be flooded all the time. If anything happens, I'll have Wu Feng go find your Teacher Zhuang."
"Song Ying, it's too cold, come inside quickly."
[Ding, Temporary Mission: Get rid of Wang Yong!] This abrupt sound exploded in Zhuang Chaoying's mind. At the same time, a virtual screen flashed before his eyes, displaying a notification that the mission was completed.
【mission completed! 】
[Reward: Five gene-optimized sugar pills!]
Zhuang Chaoying was holding Xiaoting and Tunan when the sudden sound startled him.
Genetically optimized sugar pills?
What kind of novel thing is this?
Is it like the kind described in science fiction novels?
Xiaoting noticed her father's unusual behavior and thought he was also frightened. She reached out her small hand and gently touched her father's back: "Daddy, don't be afraid, Xiaoting will protect you."
Zhuang Chaoying snapped out of her daze and looked at Xiaoting's earnest expression. "Thank you, Xiaoting, Daddy's not afraid!"
After calming the two children down, Zhuang Chaoying couldn't wait to start a conversation with the system in her mind.
"System, what is a gene-optimized sugar pill?"
A cold, mechanical voice from the system echoed in his mind: "Comprehensive upgrade in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education!"
Zhuang Chaoying's eyes widened in surprise; this was truly an incredible surprise!
He was still a little worried and pressed on, "Are there any side effects?"
No, it takes effect immediately after you take it!
The system's answer completely put his mind at ease. "Where did you leave the gene-optimized sugar pill?"
[In response to the host, it has been placed on the system shelf; retrieve it with your thought when needed!]
It was late at night, and the four of them were crammed into one bed. It was so crowded that Zhuang Chaoying felt like she was being squeezed into a meat pie.
After waiting until Xiaoting and Tunan fell into a deep sleep, he carefully got up and gently carried them back to their respective beds before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He stood by the bed, stretched, and moved his slightly sore body, thinking that he could finally get a good night's sleep.
Zhuang Chaoying lay back on the bed, her thoughts beginning to drift.
I'm off tomorrow, and I'll be back to work the day after tomorrow.
Should we take Xiaoting and Tunan to the park for a walk?
Just as the thought crossed my mind, Huang Ling's voice rang in my ears: "Chao Ying, do you want to go back to Grandpa and Grandma's house tomorrow?"
Zhuang Chaoying lay on her side on the edge of the bed. Upon hearing this, her brows furrowed instantly: "I don't want to go. I get angry just seeing them!" Huang Ling, upon hearing this, propped herself up on her arms and gently leaned against Chaoying, softly persuading her: "Chaoying, you should still go see them. After all, they are your parents. If you don't go, what will outsiders think of you? Besides, you are a teacher who educates and nurtures students. I'm afraid people will gossip."
Zhuang Chaoying was silent for a moment, then mumbled an "Mmm!" "I'll listen to you, I'll go tomorrow. I'll go myself; you, Xiaoting, and Tunan don't need to go, to avoid getting scolded again!"
Huang Ling disagreed. She rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered, "How about this, I'll ask Song Ying to help watch the child tomorrow, and the two of us can go together!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying reached out and grasped Huang Ling's hand: "Sister Ling!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had made a mistake. Oh no!
He slapped his head in frustration, realizing he'd gotten used to calling her Song Ying by that name.
"Ah Ling, thank you for your understanding!"
Huang Ling was taken aback by Zhuang Chaoying's address of "Sister Ling," but she quickly recovered and raised an eyebrow: "You're older than me, so you can call me Sister Ling. I see you're from He Dong Philosophy. Are you itching for a beating? Do you want me to loosen your skin for you?"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly lay down, waved her hand, and said in a fawning tone, "No need, Ah Ling, it was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, go to sleep!"
Huang Ling looked at his expression, snorted, and turned away to face the wall.
Her mind started wandering; she thought she should ask Song Ying if she had the chance, whether this man had lost interest in that kind of thing with her.
Does he have someone else on the side?
Or is it that his health is failing?
After much deliberation, she secretly made a decision.
Hmm! I'll buy some chives tomorrow and stir-fry them for Chaoying to help him recover. Maybe that will help.
