Vol 2 Chapter 314: Ready to leave

Time flies, and the family reunites to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The parting day is getting closer, but neither of Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter mentioned this topic.
As she gets along for longer and longer, Zhou Jiao is reluctant to leave her family, but there are still many hurdles ahead for her to step on. She can only move forward, not back.
Zhou Jiao took advantage of her parents to go to work and began to make dumplings, buns, and go to the streets to buy cooked food and make soup. She tried her best to get her dad to eat more.
Standing in the warehouse, looking at the jars of food against the wall, she thought melancholy. Family care in the capital is up, everyone who should go to is gone, and her dad has brothers to help. She seemed to keep it useless.
Zhang Guoqing hugged her from behind her, smiled and told her that soon, he would be reunited and never parted again. This trip to City S is imperative-right now they have to go their own way.
Zhou Jiao turned around and hugged him, leaned in front of him and took a hard breath, raising her head and showing him a bright smile. The two of them hugged each other and smiled foolishly at each other's smiles.
For dinner that day, Zhou Jiao declined Aunt Chen’s help and prepared a table of dishes that his parents liked.
At the dinner table, Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and tasted each dish. He gave her a thumbs-up, but he didn't say a word. He wants to say Jiaojiao don't leave, Dad can't bear you.
He wanted to talk too much, but looked at the child's eyes and still held back--
This day, after all, came out by himself.
And his Jiaojiao, even if the way forward is uncertain, she has to finish the path she wants to go.
After a silent dinner, Lin Lishan ran back to the room crying.
Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing back to the study.
There was silence in the study.
The three of them sat quietly, looking at each other.
After a long time, Lin Lishan pushed the door in with red eyes.
Zhou Xiaozheng stood up and patted her, pulling her to sit down.
He uttered the first sentence tonight, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad knows, you just need to make sure that Dad is safe... and leave soon."
After speaking, he looked up and said the second sentence, "Dad is at home waiting for you to come home. Don't forget to go home, you and Xiao Wu."
Zhou Jiao's disguised strength collapsed in a moment, tears slipping down her face silently. She lowered her head, barely breathing, and said with a smile: "Dad, you wait for me to go home, you must wait for me to go home."
Zhang Guoqing handed her a handkerchief and said to his father-in-law who was leaning on the chair and looking up: "Dad, when the weather gets warm, Jiaojiao will always take home safely. I'm familiar with provincial stations. I don't worry about safety on the train. Didn’t you tell your mom that our family doesn’t lack money? Let’s take the train to play."
After finishing speaking, seeing Lin Lishan nodded, she smiled sadly: "Uncle Da Shan is my own family, I will find an opportunity to ask for leave and run over if I have nothing to do. For example, May Day, November, or even 61. Let's have a safe holiday, right?"
Lin Lishan was amused by him.
Zhang Guoqing said more and more vigorously, "You really don’t have to be sad. I think about it. I will pick up all Uncle Dashan’s business trips in the future. You always have to go through the capital when traveling to the northeast. I will throw peace to you at that time. I took Jiaojiao on a business trip."
"How can you bring your family on a business trip? Or stay Jiaojiao at home. Be good, don't cry, dad thinks it through. In the future, dad who will go to the Northeast Military Region for meetings or something will be rounded up."
Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes brightened by Zhang Guoqing's remarks, and he still has many ways to pass. But he didn't plan to tell his child that the stupid child would worry about his mistakes.
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile.
Zhang Guoqing joked: "Is it all right? I must let you go home often. Otherwise, what if the house is flooded?"
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at the young couple and shook his head. He felt quite relieved. With the son-in-law Zhang Guoqing beside the child, he was less worried.
Zhou Jiao smiled brightly at her dad, "Dad, you help me prepare a ticket to S city. I will be back in three or five days, and I will return to the northeast at the end of the month. I will bring you a gift!"
Lin Lishan said quickly: "I'll go too! Leave it to Mom to decide."
Zhou Jiao looked at her curiously, what did you cry just now?
"Okay! You go with them. This time I will guard the house, and next time we will go to the old house together." Zhou Xiaozheng nodded in agreement.
He has his own worries. Some things seem calm on the surface, but he rushes to the south of the Yangtze River in a hurry, and then anyone will look at him.
The old house is currently under the protection of Mrs. Cheng. It is still safe, and he has to think about the legacy of the dark room. Gu's old house really can't go.
The itinerary was agreed, and it was learned that I would return to Beijing. Lin Lishan was so excited that she couldn't take care of the others, took out paper and pen, and began to plan the route to buy gifts.
Zhou Xiaozheng drew a simple route to City S on the letterhead, marked the location of the house, and added the contact address of his comrade Wang Dong. Instructed Zhou Jiao on what to do when he went there, and asked him if he had any difficulties.
When Zhou Jiao learned that the other party had transferred to the city bureau, she knew that everything was already in her father's layout. After listening carefully, she analyzed the other party's family background and preferences, and received his admiration and smile, which immediately blossomed.
During this period of time, her father took her and Zhang Guoqing to visit and leave homework~EbookFREE.me~ Now she subconsciously analyzes the other party's summary and comments when she sees trouble. She deeply remembered a few words he said-the third-rate and nine-teachers come out in large numbers, speak less and see more; get along with others, equal nobility and inferiority, learn how to give charcoal in the snow, and avoid icing on the cake.
The next day Zhou Jiao informed Mrs. Cheng in private. On this trip to S City, Zhou's family did not announce to the public that they planned to wait for them to leave, saying that they would go out for a stroll.
Mrs. Cheng learned that they were taking their children to S city early in the morning, so she immediately asked Aunt Chen to find Lin Lishan and told her not to buy tickets. She expected that Lin Lishan could only buy ordinary sleepers. When the child is still young, she must take care of her in person and can buy a soft sleeper.
As for Zhou Jiao who said she was going to S city to play, she smiled. If she still believes others, would she be Jiaojiao? impossible! It happened that she went over to take the child and let her couple handle things.
Zhou Jiao was worried. She regretted telling her aunt, but she was still incomplete. Does the old lady's body survive? After repeated persuasion several times to no avail, seeing the old lady Le Diandian ran home to make arrangements, she and Zhang Guoqing smiled bitterly at each other.
Mrs. Cheng went home just to meet Cheng Ruzhu who was back to her family. She knew that the Wen family was going to entertain Zhou Xiaozheng's family and took her back to the bedroom.
Cheng Ruzhu learned that their group actually went to play in S City, and immediately refused to follow him and insisted on following it. She must go to the old and young. She works in the Commercial Bureau and happened to be on a business trip to City S.
Mrs. Cheng nodded after listening to her various reasons, and told her to keep a secret before leaving. She is worried that the Lin family will have moths. Lao Lin's granddaughters are not polite, and her Jiaojiao face is thin and can't be offended.
Zhou Xiaozheng learned after get off work that Mrs. Cheng was going to accompany her. He immediately went to Cheng's house, and when he returned, he took Zhou Jiao to the study. The father and daughter muttered in the study until before dinner. No one knew what they said except Zhang Guoqing, who was chatting with his mother-in-law.
