Chapter 816: The Grain Hurts the Peasants
Compared with Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing over there can be said to be familiar all the way, as if stepping into his own backyard. In addition to the old friends he usually dates, many of the older ones are already familiar with him when he socializes with Zhou Xiaozheng, the old man.
Zhou Jiao spent almost two hours to register, and it took half an hour to get to Zhang Guoqing's side, and she added half an hour to idle.
Therefore, after completing the registration, Zhang Guoqing, who went home after digging the mud, became more anxious the more he looked at the time. When it was almost eleven o'clock, he almost went to the Planning Commission to ask for someone.
Zhou Jiao finally stepped into the courtyard belatedly.
"Daughter-in-law, it's twelve o'clock. How can it take so long to walk just a few steps? Someone is embarrassing you? Or just change places? I think it's good for you to go to work with my sister-in-law......"
Zhou Jiao glanced at him amusedly, and handed him the work card in her pocket.
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the work card and looked at her face seriously. His daughter-in-law is introverted, unsociable, and extremely delicate and sensitive, so no one will say anything, right?
Zhou Xiaozheng, who was waiting for his daughter to come back to cook in the living room, heard the movement and came out, and saw a fool around his daughter and kept asking.
If his wife hadn't shouted for them to come in for dinner, he would have wanted to see the excitement. Concern is chaos, Zhang Guoqing, the weakness of his wife and children who are abnormal, should he break it or let it be?
Zhou Xiaozheng is more and more finding that it is really difficult to be a father-in-law, especially to cultivate an old father-in-law who can succeed his son-in-law! If it was his son, he would have killed this stupid boy a long time ago.
At the dinner table, Zhou Jiao talked about the morning's events while eating. When she talked about the relationship between the three colleagues, Lin Lishan burst into laughter.
Zhou Xiaozheng always focuses on the key points, "You didn't meet those people?" ”
"There are a lot of people coming in and out, and I deliberately avoided them." Zhou Jiao wrinkled her nose, "In case any of them call me Zhou Yatou again, I have to run over to say hello again, it's not good to be too high-profile just when I just entered." ”
Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at her clearly. This is in line with his delicate character! Hide it, who should know doesn't know your foundation.
Zhou Jiao stuck out her little tongue at him and said with a smile: "Dad, I think this work is quite leisurely." Why do you think they still set the time? I told them that I had three more sons to arrange, and they agreed. Do you think I'm very popular? Are they afraid I won't go? ”
Listening to his daughter's jokes, Zhou Xiaozheng replied seriously: "Of course! If you don't go, they're one less talent. At the meeting this morning, Uncle Shi told me that you were almost asked to leave by the secretariat, or did he satisfy you under pressure. You'll have to go there tomorrow, don't forget. ”
Where are you going? Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes, looked at him in disbelief, then looked at Zhang Guoqing and Lin Lishan, took a bowl and drank a sip of soup, and cleared her throat: "Dad, not kidding?" ”
Zhou Xiaozheng finally laughed, "Silly girl, don't worry, Dad can still make you suffer?" ”
Zhou Jiao thought about it. That little notebook is still in my hand. Can she receive two salaries? Thinking of this, she squeezed her eyes at Zhang Guoqing.
Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile and looked at the old man uneasily. Don't come on another temporary mission, either secretly go abroad or participate in some major event.
Zhou Xiaozheng hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his head slightly at him.
Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing felt relieved, looked at his happy wife, and quipped: "Level 22 or level 23?" ”
Ouch, she remembered her man telling her last night. Even if it is revealed again, Zhou Jiao has really observed it carefully. She excitedly compared her fingers, "Level 22, it doesn't take a year, and it has been directly turned positive." ”
"Awesome! Come on, dry this soup! Zhang Guoqing gave a thumbs up with his left hand and picked up the soup bowl with his right hand.
This action caused the family to burst into laughter, and they all picked up the soup bowl and toasted.
Cheng family, since Cheng Sijin and his wife went to the southwest, the eldest and youngest grandsons lived in school and went to school, and went to their parents during the holidays, leaving Cheng Lao and his wife behind, and the family became more and more deserted.
Just after lunch, Mrs. Cheng didn't care about taking a lunch break, so she said hello to her wife, and went to Zhou's house first to hear how the two children were doing today?
As soon as she entered the courtyard of the Zhou family, a group of laughter sounded in her ears, ouch, this is a great event. Come to think of it. The old lady was delighted.
She quickly quickened her pace and entered inside, and said with a smile: "Things went well?" ”
Ping An hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran forward, "Grandma, it's all done." Did you drink lotus root pork rib soup today? Does it taste good? I told Grandma Chen that you like it, right? ”
"It's delicious, grandma ate two bowls of rice. Give it to grandma, do you have enough to drink? Mrs. Cheng said, waving to the family who stood up and motioned for them to eat first.
"Grandma Chen simmered a big pot, enough is enough. Grandma, if you finish drinking, tell me, if you like me, let Grandma Chen stew the soup. ”
"Good! Or are we obedient and filial. ”
The smile on the praised Ping'an face became brighter and brighter, and he sat on the sofa with her and chatted about family life, "Grandma, I heard my buddy say that there is a bumper grain harvest in the countryside of his hometown this year. Then everyone won't be short of food, and they won't be hungry, right? ”
The old lady really didn't know, "Really? That's great. I'll let someone inquire later, and I'll tell you if I have a letter, okay? ”
Aunt Chen, who came out of the tea, heard a soft voice: "Yesterday Ping An asked me, and I also inquired about some news." I heard that this year is better than last year, and the cornmeal at the farmers' market now has only a dime without food stamps. ”
Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing in surprise. If she remembers correctly, Captain Qian said that pork was available a few years ago, and everyone was so hungry that they were reluctant to sell the rations.
Did she misunderstand?
Zhang Guoqing looked at them and said softly: "There has been a harvest of self-reserved land for two consecutive years, and most people are reluctant to sell and eat." This year's wind and rain are smooth and it is a bumper harvest year, and there is a lot of backlog, and it is very likely that someone will come with the psychology of the crowd as soon as someone sells it. ”
Zhou Jiao sighed secretly, and in summary, it was still a cheap grain to hurt the peasants. Think about the farmer's market that will close again in two years and the repossessed land......
Aunt Chen saw them leave after eating, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhou Jiao away, "Just a few bowls for me to clean up, go and play with the children in the mud." ”
Zhou Jiao smiled dumbly.
Zhang Guoqing pulled her away funny, and asked in a low voice, "Think about the price of soybeans?" ”
Thinking of the bag of soybeans she just brought back, Zhou Jiao really didn't know the current market, so she decided to wait for someone to mention it and say they would borrow it.
"Go to the farmer's market tomorrow morning! God is going to help our son. Buy it, don't let go of a soybean! ”
"It's useless to go to the outskirts of Beijing, the city has a large population. Now the farther away from the big cities, the more surplus. In particular, the two crops of rice in the south are now in the harvest period. ”
Zhou Jiao didn't understand the meaning of his words, there was no lack of space, didn't she just want to run out to play? She also wanted to leave, but the two younger sons had reached a critical period, and it was time to teach them something.
"Why don't we take our children closer to some places and let them get close to nature?"
"It's exactly what I want." Zhang Guoqing squeezed his eyes at her happily.
