Vol 2 Chapter 142: Pampering

After the banquet, it was getting late. Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing declined the drunken Zhao Dashan to send them off. Weng and his son rushed to the village in the dark with flashlights.
The weather was fine during the day and the temperature dropped sharply at night. On the way back from the county seat to Zhangjiacun, no pedestrians were seen. Weng and son-in-law underestimated the night temperature. Wearing military overcoats and facing the whirring north wind, the two of them could not even speak and walk quickly. The wind blows on the face like a knife cut, and the physical fitness of the two has always been very good, without affecting the speed of the feet.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the entrance of the village. Seeing home, Zhang Guoqing finally asked him, "Dad, do you want to see grandma tonight?"
"Go, you must go, I guess the old couple are waiting for my news tonight. You don't need to go, I'll take your mother with you."
Zhang Guoqing looked around, saw no pedestrians, and whispered: "Dad, in fact, uncle, am I going to the township police station tomorrow? For grandma's sake, the uncle is better. Otherwise, grandma is afraid that her body can't stand it. , I got sick this summer, and now my health is better."
Zhou Xiaozheng looked back at him and said, "You hesitated all the way for this matter? The verdict was settled, why did he come out? He deserves it. Once he comes out, can the rest of you agree?"
Zhang Guoqing chuckled and said, "I can go in and see myself. As long as he gets out, it's very important. If he doesn't come out, the big room will be gone, and no one will take care of his grandma. Secondly, it is the Zhou family. , It's Uncle Jiaojiao, your eldest relative, it's not good-looking."
"Then you don't hate him? The worst is him, but he is cheap. You want him to put the blame on Huang Zhaodi, so he will come out and be criticized?"
Zhang Guoqing shook her head, "Jiaojiao won't bear hatred. She often said that caring too much about the enemy is to find sin for herself, and those who don't matter will ignore it. What's more, for the sake of grandma, she will also agree with the uncle. If he doesn’t come out, it will have little effect on us. As for him, we can’t control how to solve his family’s affairs. As long as grandma doesn’t worry, it’s okay to feel sorry for the elder son.
Zhou Xiaozheng was silent for a moment without any reaction. Zhang Guoqing knew that he was making a choice in his heart, so he walked slowly home with him without saying a word.
Almost at the gate, Zhou Xiaozheng stopped and said to him, "Then you go and see what he says tomorrow. If the attitude is not right, just ignore him. And the finishing touches should be clean, don't put yourself in. As for the evening , Your mother and I will go to see them, by the way, it’s not easy to handle things, we are looking for someone."
"Well, don't worry about my affairs. I'll go to the village tomorrow morning." Zhang Guoqing nodded.
After talking, the two of Weng went straight into the yard, and they found Lin Lishan walking in front of the west wing, looking up from time to time. When they saw them, they immediately smiled and said, "You really are back, Jiaojiao said you I'm about to come in, I don't believe it yet. Azheng, the child and you are really telepathic."
Zhou Xiaozheng's mouth curled up, and he said triumphantly, "That's for sure. Our father and daughter are in a much better relationship than you. Go in, are they frozen? You are so stupid, you don't know if you wait inside."
After that, walk quickly into the room, "Jiaojiao, Dad is back. Baby girl, guess what gift your dad gave you today? You will definitely like it."
Lin Lishan didn't care about him, and said to Zhang Guoqing behind: "I'm tired after walking with your dad for a day today? You go to say hello to your parents first, come back to drink some hot soup and hangover."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the main house. Zhou Jiao and his daughter were talking and laughing. Secretly funny, these two people are really similar in temperament and taste, and they deserve to be father and daughter.
Lin Lishan just came in and heard Zhou Xiaozheng talking about the study in the new house. She was so happy that she immediately interrupted, "Brother Zheng, the study you said is really a two-sided bookcase? There are still many books in it? That's great. We Jiaojiao like this. Tomorrow, I will go to the county to find out if there are any special sofas? Put a soft sofa in the study, so Jiaojiao can rely on reading without getting tired."
Zhou Jiao said to Lin Lishan who came in: "Mom, you are really not afraid to spoil me. Don't toss about it. If you are unfamiliar in life, it is troublesome to find someone."
"It's no trouble, I'm happy. I'll just go see what I need these days. Brother Zheng, you go on." Lin Lishan couldn't wait to say to him.
Zhou Xiaozheng took the cup from Zhou Jiao, took a sip, and then talked about the details of the small courtyard in the county town. He wanted to let Zhou Jiao deepen his knowledge. I talked about how to identify antiques and how to maintain them. From the kitchen basement, fire wall, and furniture cover, I mentioned the original owner's caution and his own analysis.
Following Zhou Jiao's question, Zhou Xiaozheng mentioned the current foreign and domestic relations, and then described a certain excerpt in the newspaper of the past year, allowing Zhou Jiao to talk about his views and thoughts. After she finished talking, he started pointing one by one. Guide Zhou Jiao to analyze the possible future trends from small to large to large trends. Tell your wife and daughter what to pay attention to.
Zhou Xiaozheng is very pleased with the comprehension of his daughter. Zhou Jiao's knowledge has made him very interested, especially she will not be restricted by the current situation. When he mentions a detail, she can immediately contact the front and back to draw a conclusion.
The topics discussed by the father and daughter gradually expanded. Zhou Xiaozheng began to test her ability to understand classical ancient books in recent years, and guided her to apply divergent thinking to real life.
As the father and daughter talked for longer and longer, Lin Lishan was already drowsy after the conversation. Didn’t it mean the county courtyard? How did you digress to the north and south? Finally, the topic of the father and daughter turned to the county yard. Lin Lishan looked at the father and daughter helplessly, and was about to interject, when he finally said about the follow-up arrangements.
"The county town will then be arranged like this. The next thing is your two properties in the capital and the SH house. The capital will enter the yard five times. When you go back in two years, Dad didn't plan to let you live in. This time our family can be allocated to the military compound compound. A small courtyard is enough for our family to live in. Even if the courtyard is far away from the school, I would rather buy another one near the school.
Since it has been analyzed that many private courtyard houses in Beijing have to be allocated to employees by various units. The big yard is too conspicuous, and Dad must plan as soon as possible. It is best to rent both sets of yards in the capital to the unit for office work-so that the initiative is in our own hands. The courtyard house rented out now will not be rented next time. Sign a time contract to sponsor the Women's Federation for free for several years. "
Zhou Jiao nodded to her dad, "Dad, I understand what you mean. I listen to you. Free sponsorship to support the country/housekeeping/policy, listen to T, and follow T."
Zhou Xiaozheng gave a thumbs up, "You deserve to be Dad’s daughter, so smart. Dad will take back the benefits in it, and you won’t lose money. Next SH House. In name, you are the only granddaughter of the old couple. Neighbors all know them. There is a granddaughter in the northeast with the elders of the family. When they are 18 years old, they will come back to take care of the elderly. Every time the old couple go back to their hometown, they say that they are going to see you. The house is very ordinary, the elder’s identity is innocent, and there is no one in the home. It’s okay. The key is that you have to put the valuables in your hands. You are left to see if you have any questions to ask Dad?"
Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head. Her dad has no sequelae, so he arranged everything well.
"Also this year you are going to Beijing for the New Year. I will arrange the sleeper train and road problems. It will be safe for more than two months and should be fine. We will wait for you to go home. Shanshan, have you said anything to your daughter? ?"
Lin Lishan looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile on her face and said, "I have said that, before I have finished speaking, she guessed it. Even what happened to her grandma's house. It is the same as you arranged. Home. Even the SH house wants to deal with it earlier, for fear of causing you trouble."
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile, as expected to be his kind, thinking of all aspects of the problem. Presumably, she knew everything about the Lin family.
"This time you go home, you need to sort out your dowry. Just deal with the things that should be handled, and put the collections in your own hands. You should ventilate with the small five first. When do you plan to leave? How to arrange the time? How to put it. Those things? Two people have to plan. The big yard can't put things. The big ones are put in the back of the small yard and there is a dark room. You hide the small ones by yourself. Get them back early and solve them earlier." Zhou Xiaozheng is not at all. Worried about the ability of his daughter and son-in-law. As for the son-in-law, will he change his mind in the future? He doesn't believe that Jiaojiao can't deal with him.
Zhou Jiao nodded. Her father's tone increased,'Get it back early and solve it earlier'. She understood.
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled at her head. It doesn't take much effort to talk to Jiaojiao herself. With a look in her eyes and a little hint, she is clear. There is another person who has to give a few more words.
"Shanshan, even your eldest brother doesn't know about SH's house, so don't let go. Your sister-in-law used to be okay, but now it's secular, so beware of her.
The things at home, let the old lady know. Don't say anything else. Before I was gone, they would pity you, and would not calculate you. Now that I have come back, I have been promoted. If I still know that we have something in our hands, then my mentality will be unbalanced. In the end, the affair was gone. At most, they will have difficulties in the future, so let's help. "
Lin Lishan squinted at him, "I'm not stupid. Besides, I don't have anything at all—these are Jiaojiao's dowry. We don't have any money anymore, and we have to wait for my mother to return me the deposit slip. Anyway, you come back. The same as before, your housekeeper. I can see it. They used to see you are gone, so they can’t figure me out, and there is my dad standing there. This time you come back, the little girl said sourly Jiaojiao It's a pity that the big yard is empty. I ignored her. She whispered to my mother to intercede. I told my mother and asked them to tell you or Jiaojiao. I thought I was stupid? Forgive them. I dare not tell you. This is what you gave to Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao. If you don't come back, you will probably have to move in."
Seeing her getting angry, Zhou Jiao hurriedly comforted: "Mom, don't be angry, think about how my aunt has been sending me parcels all these years. You have to appreciate this feeling. Besides, you will be jealous and jealous. Human nature, just listen to it, don't take it to your heart.
We have to think about it for her. My little uncle is not as good as my dad. They are all sisters. She is not as good as you, and her heart will inevitably be a little bit uneasy. It's okay if you can say it, I'm afraid that people will not talk about it secretly. As long as it does not violate your principles, your left ear will go in and your right ear will go out.
For example, there is a large yard, but didn’t she also buy a yard? Let her live in, it will be easier to ask God to send it to God. This is a matter of principle and position. If you agree to her, the first uncle and second uncle will also ask you to borrow the house in the future. If you don't agree, you will become enemies.
So you did it right this time and supported your principles and stand. Even those cousins ​​and cousins ​​in the future will not count towards you if they don’t have a house after they get married. Why do you know you can't do it? When I return to Beijing this time, I will try my best to deal with these things to avoid embarrassment with later relatives.
As for you, if someone is jealous and someone is envious, just ignore them all. Every time I am angry, I tell myself that I am so good and I am so happy that I am jealous! Why am I so lucky? Forgive those stupid humans! "After that, Zhou Jiao laughed and fell on the kang first.
Zhou Xiaozheng just started to listen to her daughter's talk, but in the end, the more she said it, the more it became worse. She looked at her with open eyes and smiled lovingly, and followed her with a big smile. Jiaojiao of his family would often be childish in front of them. This is very good, I am afraid she has a knot. As for maintaining your manners in front of others, disguising your temperament, and being like a child in front of yourself, that is certain. Her daughter is very good in her life, and if she is as naive as Zhao Yuanyuan, she would not be his seed.
Lin Lishan smiled and hugged her, taking her comfortably, "Well, mom will forgive those stupid humans in the future. Who will let your mother be lucky to meet your dad and give birth to you."
Zhou Xiaozheng happily watched their mother and daughter laugh together. He has a smart and generous daughter who is good at handling interpersonal relationships. If ordinary girls heard that their big yard was being watched, they would have jumped up long ago.
She will not give up her pride for money. In her eyes, money is really a foreign object, and the only important thing is the safety of the family. The father-in-law sees people really accurately, but he doesn't increase the praise. His daughter is like a fairy in a fairy tale, beautiful and pure.
I thought of Zhang Dayou’s shout from the outside, "Azheng, are you inside?"
Zhou Xiaozheng, who was interrupted by his loud voice, came out quickly~EbookFREE.me~Second brother, why did you come here in person? I just wanted to sit with Shanshan at your place. I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still the same, and you are not too old. Second sister-in-law, we are all married now. You have to make dumplings for me, and ask for your sauerkraut filling. "
Mother Zhang laughed loudly, "I've already wrapped it up and waited for you. The eldest sister said you came back after dinner. Now that you are back, I will go to cook."
Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly dragged her, "Wait first. Second sister-in-law, I plan to go to see the old lady and old lady with Shanshan. I have been there at noon, and they are probably waiting for me to reply."
Zhang Dayou waved his hand and asked Mother Zhang to wait for a while, and said: "Then you go to the other side and come back early. I'll wait for you to drink, and your second wife will cook the dumplings and wait for you to come back to eat. Don't get the ink, go early and come back early. Do you want to go with Xiao Wu?"
"No, let's go and have a look and come back after a meeting. You don't know that the old man is not happy to see me. Second brother, drink and call Brother Zhang and Brother third, we will come as soon as we go."
Lin Lishan heard that she quickly took out fabric cakes from her luggage. Last time, she didn't go to Zhou's house to visit the old man. She was ready early this time, and waited for her man to return to his hometown with her. She is really unhappy to disagree with Mr. Zhou, but who makes him her husband's father? She kept telling herself that she was preparing for the kind and weak old lady.
Zhang Dayou did not delay their visit to the old man, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Wu, hurry up and bring up the kerosene lamp to show the way to your old husband. This is better than that flashlight. He also brought out military coats. It was much colder at night. Wear something, don’t freeze."
Zhang Guoqing carried the kerosene lamp and went to Qiaotou until he was stopped by them. Looking at the back of them leaving, recalling the abnormality of Father Zhou during the day, he sighed secretly.
