Vol 2 Chapter 4: Zhou Family Past

　　 The whole family had dinner, Zhang Guoqing was also exhausted, and his body was a little unsupported now. Let's talk to everyone first, then go back to the room and lie down beside Zhou Jiao and finally sleep peacefully.
　　 Zhou Jiao was awakened by the cry of the child. She looked at a strange room in a daze. It took a while to remember that they had crossed. Later she gave birth to a son. She looked at Zhang Guoqing who was lying on the right and smiled.
Mother Zhang held her baby and saw Zhou Jiao wake up: "Jiaojiao, don't move and lie down first. The baby lie down next to you, and Xiaowu will let him sleep. His head injury is still not healed. There will be another day of cold wind outside today. I will bring you something to eat first, and I will take care of you and your children at night. My mother will do."
　　 Zhou Jiao was very happy to hear what Zhang's mother said, and there was a strong scent of petting in her words. Thinking back to the memory of Mother Zhang, Zhou Jiao thought of her as his mother.
　　 Mother Zhang is partial to her younger son. If she usually allows her to sleep in the main room, she can sleep comfortably. Zhou Jiao had just given birth to her son, and she had to send Zhang Guoqing to the Yue family to announce the good news tomorrow morning. Seeing such a big movement, I didn’t wake up, and I secretly cursed the slums in Xialin Village, but forgot that those guys were not pleased. All of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. Even two of them had broken bones and returned them to the militia. .
Zhou Jiao said with a smile, "Mother, it's all because of your old man being there. Otherwise, neither of us would take care of the children. You look at such a small person and dare not hug me. Mother, look at this. A small group, red like a little monkey, so ugly and long, you won’t be able to marry a wife."
Mother Zhang pretended to slap Zhou Jiao's arm and smiled: "You child, a child is born with a strong wind. This kid was born with more than 6 kilograms and is honest enough, and looks very handsome. Don't be careful, tomorrow Xiao Wu will go to his home to return the good news. Do you need to bring a message?"
　　 Zhou Jiao heard Zhang's mother mention that some of her parents were still living for a while, and she hurriedly searched her memory to find out.
　　 The original identity is a bit embarrassing. How can I put it to the point that the original child grew up with her grandma, and her father died on the battlefield when she was born.
　　 Her grandmother was the only daughter of an imperial physician in the capital in the early years. She was born in a wealthy family and grew up without touching her fingers. Since she was a child, she has booked a family relationship. The other party is also a famous scholarly family. On the day of marriage, before the bridal chamber, the Eighth/Country/Union/Army came to Beijing and arrested the husband’s male on the charge of harboring the Boxer Regiment and washed the whole family in blood.
　　Her grandmother still leaned on the close-knit maid to be clever, and after disguising herself, the two escaped from the small kitchen in the backyard and returned to her family. There was no way for the natal parents, and they were worried about being implicated. Kyoto was in turmoil at the time, and everyone was in danger. The three of them took the housekeeper and the maid and fled to the country village in the south, leaning incognito everywhere. The medical skills passed on and the fineness of the bands survived in the countryside.
　　 After a few years of this, my great-grandfather and grandmother passed away, leaving the housekeeper and maid with the then grandmother Zhou to live very hard. By chance, I met my husband who grew up together. It turned out that the Boxer rescued the only grandfather Zhou who survived serious injuries. When Grandpa Zhou went back to find the surviving family, there was no one left, and even the house in the city was deserted, so he directly joined the army for revenge.
　　 Then the couple followed the troops directly, and after several turns, they joined the people/civilian/military/corps. The housekeeper stayed in the local pension, and the close-kids were married. The couple who did not care about have been fighting on the front line. Seeing the children grow up, the couple took Zhou Jiao's uncle and aunt and father back to Zhoujia Village in the northeast of Zhoujiazudi. Grandpa Zhou still hopes that his family will return to his hometown alive to worship the ancestor's grave.
Later, the youngest son, Zhou Jiao’s father, secretly signed up to join the army. During the period, he met Zhou Jiao’s mother Lin Lishan in the army and got married. Two years after the marriage, the couple gave birth to Zhou Jiao. Mom, after leaving a letter, they participated in a secret mission with Lin’s eldest brother Lin Lishan. They were sacrificed together. Lin Lishan couldn’t accept it for a while. The two closest relatives left without leaving a dead body. Shock can't take care of the newborn Jiaojiao, but her grandparents who rushed to her after hearing the news brought her back from the army to raise her.
　　 Zhou’s mother, Lin Lishan, was single and never remarried. She often said that she wanted to see the corpse when she died and people when she lived. She feels that they have been in this world and will always come back, always refusing to accept reality. I don't know what Zhou's mother thought, except for the year-round support payments, even Zhou Jiao didn't come back to participate in the marriage.
　　 In Zhou Jiao's memory, she has never seen her mother except in the photo. I heard that she is still single and refuses many marriage proposals. Grandparents always comfort Xiao Zhoujiao. Her mother loves her, but she can't accept the reality of her husband's death, so she must give her time. But Zhou Jiao still complained about her mother.
　　 When I was a child, my friends could act like coquettish to their mothers, and they could spoil them, but besides her grandparents spoiling her, she actually depends on the secretive face of the big aunt. Aunt Chen Zhaodi was at ease enjoying the supplies and money that the Lin family often sent, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com secretly treats her husband who has lost her husband and is both taboo and envious. Zhou Ma's high-ranking background and beauty caused her inferiority and arrogance to go wrong, and it seemed to help a few children in the family to secretly bully Xiao Zhoujiao in what her grandma could not see. The cousin must pick the items sent by my mother first, and the remittance of support from the public household.
　　 has finally grown up to 10 years old, and already knows the sophistication of the human world that he wants to go to my mother. As a result, the only time my mother said coldly on the phone that she had no time to see her around the show. Let her stay in her hometown and do her filial piety for her father. With tears in her eyes, she was completely chilled. Since then, she has never mentioned her mother again, and even the letters sent to her have not been moved.
　　 Zhoujiacun and Zhangjiacun are in the upper and lower villages, separated by a river, and a blue stone bridge connects the two villages. Zhoujia Village is closer to the mountains. Grandpa Zhou was the old eighth road of the Revolution. Grandma Zhou was a military doctor when she was young. Their husband and wife are respected locally.
　　 Zhou Jiao, the girl of Zhou's family, looks beautiful. I heard that my grandma is a soldier in his family, as are several uncles, and her mother is also a soldier. Soldiers are very popular in this era. Except for the workers, the soldiers’ food, lodging, and clothing are all paid by the state. There are monthly wages. Military tickets are available throughout the country. The Shanghai Supply and Marketing Cooperative also does not have to queue for priority purchase.
　　 Except for Zhou's father who accidentally hung up, no one knows that Xiao Zhoujiao has never seen them since she was sensible except receiving the clothes from her grandfather's house and her mother's annual remittance. She said she loved the child and never saw them pick her up.
Only occasionally I heard a few words from my elder mother, such as the elder uncle and Dad Zhang sacrificed together, where did the second uncle be stationed, grandpa is a big man who can’t leave to visit his old comrade-in-arms, his grandpa, and her grandma is seriously ill, etc. Wait. The younger sister-in-law is really weird. She is so beautiful and she doesn’t remarry or raise her daughter.
