Chapter 42 Entering puberty, new goals
I saw Lao Chen holding a rooster with all its feathers plucked out and cleaning up the internal organs, just like the screaming chicken in the game.

His pupils were so huge that it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as bulging with anger.

Zhang Chaoqiang realized it later, and he didn't expect that the first person to swear in front of Tan Yue was Lao Chen...

Old Chen now realized that he had said too much in front of the child, but he was still angry and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Zhang Huolong was so frightened that the feeling of grievance in his heart subsided for a while.

"Old Chen, what are you doing again..."

Zhang Huolong asked him in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, Lao Chen's mouth turned down and he recalled his past to everyone.

“Back then, it should have been around the year 960 on Earth Star. I was a rookie at that time and had not yet entered Tan Yue’s family.

When I first entered the society, my first job was a waiter, which meant cutting vegetables and preparing food, and helping the chef by arranging the dishes after they were cooked.

There were ten apprentices at that time, and I was considered to be a relatively diligent one. I raised eyebrows, helped pour tea, pass water, and wash clothes. Only after I was favored by the head chef was I given the opportunity to learn the cuisine.

Apart from working hours, whenever I had free time, I would buy ingredients at my own expense and learn how to cook. This continued for quite a while before I got my first opportunity to be the chef.”

“I cherished it very much. I worked harder and harder every day, and became more and more tired every day. Finally, I became the second in command of the kitchen that year, and the head chef officially accepted me as his apprentice.

I worked diligently until he retired, and he introduced me to his martial arts friends, allowing me to embark on the path of martial arts practice."

"I am now not on the same level as the other apprentices in terms of status, wealth, and strength. With their attitude towards things, I am still a waiter in an ordinary restaurant.

Because of this, ever since I was able to take charge of the cooking, they have been slandering me, saying that I can only flatter and lick the master's ass, otherwise the master would not accept me as an apprentice, and that I am just a smooth talker without any real talent.

Even when I finished my apprenticeship and later retired from the cooking industry, they were still spreading rumors. These people who never take other people’s efforts seriously…”

"Fuck...him!"

Old Chen's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he mustered all his strength to roar out the last sentence.

He deliberately slowed down his speech so that Zhang Chaoqiang would have enough time to cover Tan Yue's ears.

Before he knew it, Old Chen's eyes were also filled with tears.

No, that's not right.

Why, I also...

Zhang Chaoqiang felt his eyes blurry and tears welled up in his eye sockets, and his heart was inexplicably touched.

The senses are magnified, the emotions in the heart are also magnified, and it seems that the whole person becomes sentimental.

It is very difficult to bear in life not being recognized by others.

Moreover, these people not only erased all their efforts, but also wantonly tarnished the other party's innocence.

It is a particularly sad phenomenon. Even if you don't mind it, when you hear these remarks, your efforts are denied, and everything you have gained seems to be just picked up casually in the eyes of others, without any hard work... you will still feel sad.

Zhang Chaoqiang could empathize with the words that Zhang Huolong heard, those statements that were indignant and cynical without making any effort at all.

This might be what made Zhang Huolong and Lao Chen feel the most frustrated and wronged. Unconsciously, Zhang Chaoqiang could no longer control his emotions and quickly turned around and shed tears.

[Adolescence activation progress bar 100%]

As his emotions were further expanded today, the puberty activation progress bar filled up, indicating that he had officially entered puberty.

Zhang Huolong came back to his senses and wondered why he was so excited and behaved so rudely.

However, after venting it all, he calmed down with the comfort and hug of his wife. He looked around for something to do, but the stubborn old man Lao Chen, with his resolute attitude, still did not give the other party the chance to enter the kitchen.

He wouldn't even allow the setting of the dishes!

Because the placement of the bowls, the position of the chopsticks, these are all very strict etiquette standards. It’s not that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, although there is some of that.

But the main reason is that it was passed down this way from the master’s generation.

Zhang Huolong had nothing to do, so he wandered around for a while and then sat back on the sofa.

I watched cartoons with Tan Yue, and her mood gradually improved under the healing power of her family.

Zhang Chaoqiang turned and left. He went to the balcony windowsill and sat alone. He propped up his left foot, took off his shoes and stepped on the windowsill, with his left hand resting above his left knee.

Melancholy eyes, but anxiously screaming in the heart:

calm down.

How come my emotions are suddenly out of control?

I want to cry, damn it.

Still immersed in the experience of his father Zhang Huolong just now.

After a few seconds, the progress bar finished loading, and several pieces of information that popped up almost blinded Zhang Chaoqiang's eyes.

"..."

Before he knew it, Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't control his emotions anymore and started to look worried.

Compared to what happened with his father Zhang Huolong just now, the current adolescent goal is what gives him the most headaches and makes him frustrated.

I don't even need to have puberty, so what's the point of forcing it on myself?
What the hell is this about forcing yourself to let your emotions grow?

Zhang Chaoqiang doesn’t want to be a crying and angry kid!

And these tasks are more difficult and embarrassing than the last. Take this cool show as an example...

What a joke! Just thinking about it, those adolescent students and their friends are doing amazing things.

Showing off to be cool is such a childish behavior, but isn't it essentially the same phenomenon as a young man who thinks he is superior to others in terms of clothing aesthetics?
Zhang Chaoqiang's face gradually became distorted.

With a click, the scene of him crying was captured by Shen Qiangwei.
