Three days before leaving, during the day, Zhou Jiao took Zhang Guoqing to visit the elders with cakes, rice paper and other specialties, and said goodbye to them. She was even afraid that someone would give her a look in the future and say that they were staying in a hotel that they shouldn't be staying in. In line with the best policy of early precautions, she carefully prepared a few knives of rice paper, a few boxes of special products, and some handicrafts that are popular with women.

Zhou Jiao and the others personally sent it to the secretary next to the old man, and asked the other party to help hand it over. She confessed to the care she received on this trip, and said very worriedly that she had encountered something for the first time and had not behaved well. provoked the other party to laugh and asked her if she wanted to meet the old man?

Zhou Jiaolian said that he couldn't disturb his old man's daily affairs now. Wait until you are mature to meet them. She wasn't worried that this uncle wouldn't help her talk in front of the president, this was her dad's good buddy.

The next morning, the couple went to the photo studio to get the photos, and bought some film and development supplies.

When she got home, Zhou Jiao didn't go anywhere, and made dumplings with Aunt Chen at home. She wrapped it, and Zhang Guoqing began to send it to the homes of several of Zhou Xiaozheng's comrades-in-arms.

During this time, they were in the capital, and these uncles sent food to come, and she needed to give it back before leaving. Especially Uncle Wang in the Northwest, although he is not good at talking, like Zhao Chuanguang, looking at her is the same as looking at his own children, crying and laughing when he sees their father and daughter.

She always remembered that the day they first met, he hugged her father and cried hoarsely. Many times, it is relatives who are not related to each other by blood. She deeply remembers these uncles who helped and cared for their father and daughter when they were at a low point.

On the last day, Zhou Xiaozheng deliberately took a day off, leaving the children to Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Chen to take care of, and took his wife, daughter and son-in-law to the mountain early to worship.

After going down the mountain, the family went to Lao Mo for a meal. After dinner, Lin Lishan and Zhang Guoqing were sent back to accompany the children, and Zhou Xiaozheng took his daughter to a clay house in the suburbs.

The village of more than 100 families is all surnamed Zhou, and when you enter the village, you can see the villagers greeting each other warmly. Because Zhou Xiaozheng's comrades-in-arms became captains after retiring from the army, this adobe house was also bought by Zhou Xiaozheng.

Zhou Jiao heard her father say that even Lin Lishan didn't know about this house, so she covered her mouth and smiled. Fortunately, her father didn't raise a little wife, otherwise her mother probably wouldn't know about it at all.

When she knew that this house was still the one he had just bought when he came back this time, she laughed even more. Could it be that her father started to buy a house in the countryside after buying a big city for her? Sure enough, I finally went to Uncle Zhou's house, and the house was really hers!

At this moment, Zhou Xiao was waiting for no one, pulled her into the bedroom, and removed the bricks in the corner. Zhou Jiao knew at a glance that this was a similar dark room of the old man's house in S City. It was black and linen inside, and when I turned on the flashlight, I saw a big hole in the ground that was hurriedly dug. There were three wooden boxes piled up inside.

Zhou Xiaozheng bent over, half-opened the box for her to read, and whispered: "This is the last one in the capital, you put it in your treasure first." ”

Zhou Jiao obediently entered the space.

After restoring the original state, Zhou Xiaozheng cleaned up the mud on his feet. Let Zhou Jiao put the box on the ground.

Zhou Jiao saw that the room was empty, and she never had a chance to let her father see how many things she had. At this time, she smiled proudly, except for the things left over from her previous life, she slowly put them on the ground, and it turned out that she still underestimated the amount of her own inventory.

"Dad, there's more. I'll show you all of them. Where do you say it's good? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng had already been scared by her last time, and this time she was still startled. Hurriedly stopped her, and said with a straight face: "Have you forgotten what Dad told you?" Be careful, be careful! One carelessness is a catastrophe! Put it away quickly, and promise Dad not to show his feet in front of anyone. Do you hear that? ”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly put in the space, leaving three wooden boxes. She stuck out her tongue at her father, smiled and raised her right hand, was glared at by him, quickly put it down, and immediately promised to be careful!

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at her, and when he saw her smiling coquettishly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be careless. Don't usually use this thing. When I got back to Tohoku, I put some food in the basement and took it from there. ”

After speaking, seeing that his daughter Zhengse agreed, Zhou Xiaozheng continued: "How much area you said, Dad already has a number in his heart." You don't have to let me see it, I know you're going to scrape all the way this time. You have to remember that wealth is moving, let alone such treasures. Fortunately, it was the opportunity that Xiao Wu gave you, otherwise I would have planned to kill him. ”

Zhou Jiao looked at the fierce light in his eyes when he spoke, and she believed that he could really do it. She nodded seriously, "Dad, don't worry." I can tell the difference. Except for you and Xiao Wu, I don't even plan to talk about the children in the future. I didn't want to tell you, but I was afraid that you would worry. You see, you're worried right now. Don't worry, your daughter is up to you, not stupid. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at her carefully, thinking that his child was indeed with him, he nodded, squatted down and opened the box, and whispered to her where it came from and which ones could be passed on to the family in the future.

Zhou Jiao smiled heartily. She didn't expect her father to have such a good vision, and he had already secretly accumulated family funds. It seems that in addition to the capital, there must be many other places.

She put away the box, looked at the house curiously, and asked him how he had come up with the idea of buying it.

"A house of a few dozen dollars also has a yard of about half an acre in the back. Do you buy it or not? The most important thing is that this is one direction away from our ancestral grave, and the village is full of surnames Zhou. In the future, when we are tired of living in the capital, we can also build a large yard here. I didn't let your mom know it was something in there, but now it's fine. ”

Zhou Jiao didn't expect it to be so cheap, she nodded in agreement. As for repairing the yard, forget it. The family in the compound was not satisfied, and several rooms were empty.

"Don't look, it's time for us to go. This house is the back yard is valuable, throw it here first and wait for later. Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking and walked out.

He took Zhou Jiao to his comrade-in-arms' house and let him see his own girl. He's seen the silly girl in the other party's house. With a different mind, Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter visited the family of their comrades-in-arms who were the captains.

Seeing that it was not early, the other party also praised his Jiaojiao fiercely. Zhou Xiaozheng said goodbye to the other party with a smile on his face and took Zhou Jiao home.

The train at about twelve o'clock in the evening, at this time at six or seven o'clock, the Zhou family was already full of people.

In addition to the Cheng and Lin families, the brothers and sisters who had just met during this time in the compound also gathered in the east wing to chat and say goodbye to Zhang Guoqing.

Zhang Guoqing held a stack of small pieces of paper with a smile and a smile. According to them, this is the contact information, and you should remember to write a letter once a week when you go back, and you can't repeat the content of the reply to the big guy. He looked at the small pieces of paper that were secretly stuffed into him, and the phone number of the Northeast contact person was also on them, and he was very moved.

He gained a lot of friendship this time. The pure brotherly love made him very reluctant to leave these little friends. At this time, seeing that several of them were shouting for him to meet together in Beihai River in the summer, he smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Fang Fei and Li Qianjin saw the sound of Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter talking in the courtyard. He stood up and reaffirmed that he didn't need his people to get on the train, and offered his farewell.

The group left Zhou's house under Zhang Guoqingxiang's escort and began to go to Li Qianqian's house.

"Don't be sad! In the summer, I see that Xiao Wu and his family will run back again. You forgot that there is a baby bump, will Comrade Lao Zhou not let Xiao Zhou come over to see if he has lost weight? ”

As soon as Fang Fei finished speaking, everyone laughed, not to mention that it was really possible.

"Why don't you say Xiao Wu stays? My grandfather said that he would enlist in the army. A boy in the crowd said.

"Yes, if he stays, how good our lives are."

Fang Fei felt very strange. He looked at a few people, and couldn't help but ask the group of friends who hadn't joined the work yet, and said, "How many times have you played with him, so you want him to stay?" ”

"Brother Fei, does it take time to make friends? It feels like it's the right way, it's a good buddy. ”

"Yes. How good is Little Five! It's quite buddy. Ask him for help and come forward without saying a word. He never broke his word when he spoke to us. Tonight I came to say that I was sending Xiao Wu, and my grandmother asked me to bring a message. ”

…………..

Fang Fei listened to the big guys talking a lot. He was surprised to find that unconsciously, Xiao Wu's kid had won the hearts of the people. No wonder his grandfather said that within two days of Xiao Wu's coming, from the sentry at the gate to the five or six-year-old little radish head in the courtyard, he could talk to him.

What do these people have to say? Righteousness, Xiao Wu is indeed righteous; Generous, he is indeed quite generous; Don't care? Wrong, that's not a saint anymore? That kid has more ghost eyes than anyone else.

It's almost time to leave. Zhou Xiaozheng refused to allow others to follow, and the couple personally sent the children to the train box.

After everything was ready, Zhou Xiaozheng pulled Zhou Jiao and told her to go home if she had something, and if she wanted to go home, she would send a telegram to him, and he would arrange the trip. Be careful in everything you do.

Lin Lishan hugged Ping'an and whispered to Zhang Guoqing, and ran home if she was uncomfortable after returning to the Northeast. Let him not die stupidly, but to save face and suffer the crime. When I go home, I'm not afraid of not having a good job. Things that can be solved with money in the Northeast, don't be reluctant to pay for it. When there was no money, she sent a telegram to them. Let him promise her not to go up to the mountains to hunt.

A thousand words, a piece of parents' hearts.

Zhang Guoqing took a deep breath and nodded with a smile. Let her and her father-in-law pay attention to their health, don't be busy with their careers, and accompany their father-in-law more.

The couple does not require their parents to be in high or low positions, as long as they are safe and healthy. Let her rest assured that he will take good care of Jiaojiao, and the family will run back to Beijing when they are not having a good time outside.

As the whistle sounded, the family was about to get out of the car and separate, and the family's eyes were red.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly smiled and said, maybe in less than a month, they will come over again. Let Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife remember to help him remind Aunt Chen to dry the quilt.

Zhou Xiaozheng touched his daughter's head. He smiled and told Zhou Jiao not to cry, and he wouldn't let her go if he shed tears. Seeing her holding back tears, she smiled and nodded. He was ruthless and immediately turned around and walked out.

At this moment, he thought again about his family's Jiaojiao, and it would be better if he didn't marry far away. He can come home from work every day to eat the meals carefully prepared by his daughter, and at night when he is late at work, a bowl of supper will be served to let him eat quickly.

He can have children to play chess and chat with him, and children to accompany him to exercise. When he is sorrowful, his little padded jacket will comfort him; When he was happy, his little padded jacket would laugh silly after him.

Zhou Xiaozheng walked under the window and looked at the children through the glass. When he saw that they were holding back their grief, he opened his mouth at him. He began to feel better, smiled and waved goodbye to the slowly starting train.

Watching his wife run with the train, Zhou Xiaozheng stood there without moving for a long time.
