The train traveled all the way north, and this time there was no old lady Cheng to accompany them. On the journey, the two did not dare to relax and stared at the child firmly.

I don't know what method Zhou Xiaozheng used, this time I went back to a soft sleeper, and the two of them still tried to get out of the carriage as little as possible. When you get bored, you start sorting out gifts for others.

After countless platforms, large and small, I finally arrived at the provincial capital at six o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Guoqing and his wife didn't get out of the car immediately, just waiting for Zhao Chuanguang to come and pick them up.

This time it was still Zhang Guoqing holding his son.

The couple saw that the child woke up early, and at this time their eyes were open, and they couldn't help laughing as the voice on the radio began to scream.

Zhang Guoqing patted the child lightly and said with a smile: "Son, we are back to our hometown." It's going to be cold, do you want to hide in your father's arms? ”

When Ping An saw him talking to him, he babbled happily.

Zhou Jiao saw that there was a ball of red rope hanging on his body, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to take these things off?" It's okay when we get home. Otherwise, when we go to my godmother's house, she will hang it up again, aren't we begging for red envelopes? ”

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly shook his head. This is what his father-in-law has instructed him to wear close to the county seat. For these red envelope customs, Mrs. Cheng asked a lot of people.

When it comes to his son, he would rather believe in superstition than mess around for the sake of face.

"Little five, Jiaojiao?" Zhao Chuanguang shouted outside.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly ran to the door and beckoned to him, "Godfather, we are here." ”

Zhao Chuanguang got into the car with two beds of cotton and handed them to Zhang Guoqing, looked at the child, and immediately smiled: "How about this little guy greet me?" ”

"Godfather, you're here early, aren't you? Will it delay you from going to work? Zhang Guoqing said worriedly.

Zhao Chuanguang shook his head with a smile, "What class are you going to do today?" Your dad called the day before yesterday, and your godmother and I asked for leave. Let's go home first. Why do you have so much luggage? You're not going to empty your dad's house, are you? ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for them to respond. Hurriedly ran to the door of the car and waved to Huang Huimin in the distance, saw her running over, and asked the staff to help follow her to the military vehicle with a cart.

He escorted Zhang Guoqing to get out of the car and ran to the car with the quilt holding the father and son.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao hurriedly followed Huang Huimin, "Godmother, why are you here?" How nice it was to be at home on such a cold day waiting for us to pass. ”

"Just the two of you with children, how can I rest assured? Let's go back quickly, your two younger brothers won't go to school today and wait for you to come home. I heard that you went to S City, and they were in a hurry and said that they would definitely go to the capital with you next time. Huang Huimin pulled her and ran desperately.

"It's warm and it's good to let them go out for a walk. Let's go back and talk, I can't run anymore. Zhou Jiao said breathlessly.

Huang Huimin laughed when she heard this.

After carrying the luggage, Zhou Jiao casually pulled out the box of pastries from the bag and stuffed it to the other party, and thanked him again and again.

After getting into the car, they felt the heat, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly lifted the corner of the quilt on Ping'an's head, revealing his face, and saw that he was obediently silent just now, but now he screamed when he saw himself.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll be here soon, and we'll see the little uncles later." Ping An obediently obedient. ”

Huang Huimin looked at the child with a look of surprise, "Does he understand that we started calling when we got in the car?" I thought he was asleep? ”

"During this time, he always wrapped himself in a quilt when he went out, and as soon as the quilt was covered, he knew that he was going out, and he was used to it now. When he lifted the quilt, he began to scream. ”

Zhang Guoqing began to talk endlessly about his son's visit to S City in the hotel. However, considering what Mrs. Cheng had commanded, he didn't dare to say in detail.

Before they got out of the car at Zhao's house, the two boys had already rushed up.

"Sister, why did you come back? Fun outside, right? …”

"Sister, did you and your brother-in-law really go south? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I just happened to go to my aunt's house with you. Sister, you're finished, you went to S City and didn't go to see your aunt, she knew that she had to scold you. ”

Zhou Jiaole laughed happily, "Wait for the summer holiday sister to take you to play together." You're not cold, are you? Get on board! I've got something for you. ”

"Sister, you go in first, I'll move things." The boss was older, so he quickly pushed her in.

The old man ran behind Zhang Guoqing and shouted, "Brother-in-law, is Xiao An'an asleep?" ”

"Nope. Come in first. Zhang Guoqing ran into the living room and put the child on the cot and handed it to him, "Little brother, you look at him, I'll move things." ”

Seeing Ping'an, the old child babbled and waved at him happily, "You go and do your job." Xiao An'an, my little uncle misses you. You little creature without a conscience doesn't bring your uncle with you to play. ”

When Zhou Jiao came in, she saw the two chickens talking to the ducks, chatting and laughing.

"Grab something to eat and cushion your stomach. Put the stuff and open it later. As soon as Huang Huimin entered the house, she began to bring breakfast out, and when she saw Zhou Jiao unpacking the bag, she hurriedly said.

Zhou Jiaotou didn't look up and said, "Godmother, you eat, I'm not hungry." ”

"Don't be hungry and drink some porridge. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat something with us. After Huang Huimin finished speaking, she stood up with a smile and ran to wash her hands, and happily said that her daughter is good and more obedient.

The boss squeezed his eyes at Zhang Guoqing and whispered: "Brother-in-law, you see how much my parents dislike us." ”

Zhang Guoqing rubbed his hair and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law loves you!" Eat quickly, see what fun stuff your brother-in-law brings you. When he came back this time, he and Zhou Jiao bought a lot of favorite gifts from their two brothers-in-law.

Zhao Chuanguang looked at the children happily. He didn't urge them to serve on the table, and when he saw Zhou Jiao bringing porridge to him, he immediately said, "Jiaojiao, you have to make dumplings for your godfather this time." As long as your uncles write letters and phone calls to me, they will not stop, and you must pack a little more to make them hungry to death. ”

"Good Lat! Godfather, uncles asked me to bring you a letter and let you hurry up and gather in the capital. By the way, Uncle Wang said that he hadn't seen you for a few years, so let you not forget what you owe him. Zhou Jiao said with a smile.

"He didn't tell you what I owe him? That guy still thinks I owe him a meal. Alas... After more than ten years, he was finally transferred back. As soon as your dad returns, our brothers can be reunited again. Your madman, they are going to invite you to dinner in the evening, and you remember to tell them to make them happy. ”

Huang Huimin swallowed the bun and continued: "The four of them originally wanted to have a treat separately, so I asked them to be together. A few of your aunts are going to pick you up today, and I'll ask them not to ask for leave and come back at noon. If they had come early, we wouldn't have had time to communicate. ”

"It's still godmother, you know us, it's good that the four of them are together. During this time, I was afraid to eat every day. Zhang Guoqing hurriedly said.

"I heard that your kid is very beautiful in the capital compound! I've met a lot of big names this time, right? Zhao Chuanguang laughed teasingly.

Zhang Guoqing pointed to the top and said with a smile: "The one at the top has seen it!" The rest is thanks to my dad, and I finally got to know each other one by one. Godfather, you really don't want to transfer to the capital? ”

Zhao Chuanguang smiled and shook his head. He can still talk here, what is the point of being transferred to that place? You can still guard the old place here, and several brothers can complement each other and help each other.

Zhang Guoqing nodded understandingly, "My dad said he wronged you." "There are some things that don't need to be said much, and in many ways it seems that it is appropriate for him to stay here.

Zhao Chuanguang shook his head with a smile. He asked how the two couples felt in the capital during this time? What are you doing in the South? learned that the Cheng family really treated Zhou Xiaozheng sincerely and really loved them and the couple. He saw that Zhang Guoqing didn't mention the Lin family, and he didn't ask, so it was estimated that there were some things that were suitable for saying in private.

"At the moment, they really treat each other with sincerity. But you have to be careful, often if you don't pay attention, something big will happen. I'm worried now that your dad is too affectionate to let go of his face and accidentally fall for it. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled at him and pointed to it, shaking his head slightly. His father-in-law asked him to tell Zhao Chuanguang that he had only one leader. It is estimated that he also counted the other party's worries.

Zhao Chuanguang came to his senses, and he was finally relieved. He was not afraid that he would be a brother else, so he was worried that the other party would have no relatives, and suddenly an aunt would break out, and he would put all his trust in the wrong direction. Which of those people is not a human spirit, and there is no calculation in his heart?

After breakfast, Zhou Jiao helped Huang Huimin clean up, and the two of them ran to the room with the child in their arms to chat.

In the living room, Zhang Guoqing took out two packages and threw them to the two brothers of the Zhao family, asking them to go back to the room to see. Everyone has a preference, and it is impossible for him to treat the children of several other uncles the same. Before those people came over to give gifts, it is estimated that these two little ghosts are smarter than anyone else and will not show off.

Zhao Chuanguang ignored the laughter of his wife and the cheers of his sons in the room, and he led Zhang Guoqing back to the study.

"Zhao Dashan came to be a guest last week, and I already mentioned that you should report for the next few days. Zhao Yuanyuan in the school also helps you pay the fee and register. What's next for you? ”

"I'll report first when I go back tomorrow. Or according to the original plan. ”

"If you go back the day after tomorrow, I'll take you to meet some people. In addition, a few uncles of your godmother's family still have to go to visit the New Year, just remember to be good friends with them, you don't have to be heart-to-heart. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded. The two fathers-in-law are worthy of being iron buddies, and the words used in their speeches are exactly the same.

He thought of Liu Zhang's identity, and finally he reminded: "Godfather, the identity of Liu Zhang in the Commercial Bureau is not simple. You have a number in your heart, don't show it. ”

Zhao Chuanguang patted him lightly on the head and said with a smile: "Did you uncover many people's foundations in the past this time?" Wait, I'll show you a notebook. ”

Zhang Guoqing took the small notebook and looked at it, most of the people in it he knew. The intertwined relationships are particularly complex. What a bunch of sisters-in-law, little wives and brothers.

"You didn't need to know about these relationships before you didn't work, but now it's different. You probably have the impression that they are still small people, and you don't need to bother. In the future, they will come to you, and you will have a bottom in your heart. Zhao Chuanguang pointed to his secret and commanded.

Zhang Guoqing suddenly remembered the note given by a few buddies before leaving. He had already sorted it out on the train, took a piece of paper from his pocket and searched for it.

"Godfather, this is the contact address given to me by the buddies in the compound. Let me find these people to solve problems when I encounter them. You help me find out what they have to do with it. ”

Half an hour later, the two of them laughed.

Who would have thought that just a few broken notes would still make a big difference? Comparing the two compartments, it is clear who a few people are secretly approaching at a glance.

Zhao Chuanguang saw that if Zhang Guoqing's family returned to the county seat the day after tomorrow and would visit the Huang family tomorrow, the time would be more urgent. He can only take the child to meet an old friend today.

After discussing, Zhao Chuanguang asked his wife not to prepare their grandfather's lunch, and said that he would rush back before dinner. He and Zhang Guoqing changed their clothes and began to visit friends.
