"Mom, you mean, my dad went to Shencheng to work?" Zhou Jingming was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"That's right, the factory at home has closed down, your dad has been idle at home for a few days, and he really can't sit down, and it just so happened that someone in the village said that Shencheng was good at making money, and a few people went to Shencheng as soon as they totaled. I thought your dad had already told you when he went to look for you. Zhou's mother explained on the side.

"He just said to come and see me, and the next day he left, and I thought he was home. Zhou Jingming was a little depressed, and after glancing at Zhou's mother, he continued, "Mom, you shouldn't let my dad go out to work, he doesn't have much culture, what if he is deceived, besides, I don't feel at ease if you are home alone." ”

"It's okay, what's not to worry about. I'm going to school in two days, and I always have to earn money for tuition and something, and you, I'm not too young, and I'm going to get married or something, I have to have money for gifts, your dad is still young at this time, and he can help with it. Zhou's mother said as she beckoned to Xuan'er in a soft tone.

The little girl who was squatting on the ground and playing immediately ran to Zhou's mother, Zhou's mother took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and continued, "Besides, although your father has no culture, he is not stupid, how can he be so easy to deceive, and he went with his fellow villagers, so he can't suffer a loss." ”

Zhou Jingming wanted to speak and stopped, but finally sighed, "What about you, mother, you are alone at home with Xuan'er." ”

"I'm fine. Nan Nan is so well-behaved, that is, cooking, working in the fields and whatever, I am used to it. Zhou's mother touched Xuan'er's head dotingly, and then looked at Zhou Jingming again, "I heard your father say in the letter, the last time he went to you, he saw a very nice girl, what's the matter?

Zhou Jingming had already written to his family two months ago to tell him about graduating early to work, so Zhou's mother had already known about it.

Looking at Zhou's mother's eager look, Zhou Jingming rubbed his head with a headache, throughout the ages, is it possible that all parents are very concerned about whether their children have a family?

"Well, we didn't talk for long. Zhou Jingming still nodded. Although he and He Yingqing have never said anything like confession, after so many days of getting along, Zhou Jingming feels that the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly, so admitting the relationship between lovers is nothing, and it just happens to make the family happy.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard that her son had a partner, Zhou's mother immediately became excited, "Then why don't you bring the girl back to see when you come back this time?"

"Where is the girl's family?"

"Smaller than you or bigger than you?"

…………

didn't wait for Zhou Jingming to answer, Zhou's mother asked several questions at once.

"I said Mom, I've only been with people for a long time, and you ask so much, how dare people come to our house. Zhou Jingming said helplessly.

Zhou's mother blushed, "Look at me, I'm so happy, I forgot about this stubble." Why don't you bring the girl home during the Chinese New Year this year, and I'll show your father? ”

"Okay, okay, I know, can I go and get ready to cook now? I'm still hungry. Zhou Jingming had no choice but to use cooking to prevaricate Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother also knew that her son had been in the car for so long, and he must not have eaten well, so she could only get up and walk into the house, but after entering the house, she didn't forget to poke her head out, "It's the New Year, Xiaodezi who is the same age as you, the children are one year old this year, you have to hurry up." ”

When Zhou's mother was cooking, she was still saying that Zhou Jingming wouldn't buy meat, why buy so much lean meat, buy more fatty meat, and fry some lard, this lean meat will be eaten in one meal, and there will be nothing left.

In addition to the New Year's holidays, it is rare to eat meat at home, especially the scene of full meat like today, which is even rarer, but the little girl is so happy that her mouth is full of oil.

Zhou Jingming just tried to sandwich meat for Zhou's mother and Xuan'er, but he rarely ate it. When I usually work, the food in the canteen is not bad, and He Yingqing often opens a small stove for him and Da Xun, not to mention the food cooked, but the family has really suffered them over the years.

Xuan'er, who usually only eats one bowl of rice, ate two small bowls of rice in one go tonight, and her stomach was swollen.

After dinner, Zhou Jingming helped clean up the house again, and Zhou's mother also used the fabric bought by Zhou Jingming to make a schoolbag for Xuan'er while she was not tired.

Compared with the last time he went home, this time Zhou Jingming stayed at home for five days. In the past five days, Zhou Jingming just waited for the opening of the primary school in the village, so he took Xuan'er to sign up and pay the tuition. The rest of the time, Zhou Jingming just helped Zhou's mother do some farm work, and then played with the little girl, during which he also took the two of them to the county seat, and at Zhou Jingming's insistence, he bought clothes for each of them.

Before leaving, Zhou Jingming secretly put the remaining seventy yuan under his parents' pillows, leaving only some travel expenses, and after telling Zhou's mother to pay attention to these things, he left in the car.

Next, there are more important things waiting for Zhou Jingming to face!

However, Zhou Jingming did not go back to the factory directly, but went to Runzhou Institute of Technology first. It has been more than three months since he left school, and except for the last time Xu Weidong came to see him, Zhou Jingming has not seen the rest. Originally, Xu Weidong said that when the school started, he would come to him with Li Jianguo and Wang Yuanchao, but because Li Jianguo was delayed due to some things, he did not come.

It just so happened that this time he was also on the way, so Zhou Jingming decided to go back to school first, and it was not too late to go back to the factory after a day.

It was rare for the four of them to get together, not to mention having a good drink, and they chatted all night on the playground that night, and then Li Jianguo and the three of them sent Zhou Jingming to the station and took the nearest general train to Shencheng.

The day after arriving at the factory, it was already September 12th, and Zhou Jingming found Zhao Ke early in the morning to see if there was any work that he needed help with.

"I'm back. Zhao Ke, who was looking down at the materials, asked with a smile after seeing Zhou Jingming.

"Well, just arrived last night. Is there anything I need help with? After a week's rest, Zhou Jingming felt that it was time to do something.

Zhao Ke thought for a while, "Everything is going well on the factory side at the moment, and there is nothing you need to worry about." However, I heard from the factory director that your project team seems to have a meeting in the next two days, which should be to discuss the exchange and study abroad. I don't know the specifics, if you don't come back, the factory director will probably send someone to find you. ”

"Meeting?" Zhou Jingming said silently, and then looked at Zhao Ke, "Does the senior brother know when this meeting was held?"

"It should be the day after tomorrow, if it doesn't work, you can ask the factory director again, it was Mr. Du who informed him, and I just heard him say this, and I don't know much about the specific situation. ”
