It's been a week since I returned to the capital, and it's still this point in time, it's still this familiar platform, and of course, it's this familiar scene.

But there is one less person to be familiar with.

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing, who was waving his hand, and suddenly thought that her father really couldn't stand there as usual and wait for him to come back.

If you lose something, you gain something, and when you are in a high position, what you lose is not freedom?

However, in the near future, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, with the flick of a finger, this familiar platform will appear again, and it will be replaced again.

As soon as Zhang Guoqing stepped into the carriage, he looked at his daughter-in-law's face seriously, very good. Then he looked at Ping An who was about to carry his luggage and parcels, and patted him on the shoulder with relief, "Son, it's been hard along the way." ”

The corners of Ping'an's lips hooked up a beautiful arc, "It's not hard, it's just reliving memories." Saying that, he didn't delay his actions at all.

"Oh? Looks like it's playing well. Did you bring a gift for your brother? ”

"Yes. Dad, why did the younger brothers come? Will they say yes? ”

Zhang Guoqing squeezed his eyes and picked up the remaining two sacks, "I told them that a car can't sit down, and they will be waiting for you to come back at home with the stars and the moon." ”

"Daughter-in-law, do you still bring medicinal herbs?"

Zhou Jiao followed behind the father and son, watching them easily carry the luggage package, pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, let's go to the master first." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing immediately reacted and nodded. The station was not a place for people to talk about, so he avoided the topic.

After the three of them got on the military bus parked at the station, Zhang Guoqing repeated his old words, "During the time when you were not at home, I also asked people to collect some herbs." ”

"Is there enough money?"

"It doesn't cost a few bucks. The old man is not in the capital, but you will be busy next. ”

Zhou Jiao had already planned for a long time, and said with a smile: "I have three good helpers." Ping An won't go to the barracks this summer, he and 6151 can help. ”

"Son, how's that? Can you help your mom? ”

Ping An held the steering wheel in his hand while listening quietly, which would be named, and nodded with a smile, "No problem, our three brothers have learned a lot over the years." ”

"Jiaojiao, I had already pulled in the three brothers before I knew it, and you didn't have to squeeze out time every weekend to be tired and busy."

Looking ahead, Ping'an's eyes flashed slightly, and the doubts of some time ago seemed to be solved, it turned out that his parents didn't go to play nearby on weekends.

His right finger subconsciously tapped on the steering wheel, and slowly smiled, I don't know why my parents have made a large number of medicinal herbs recently?

This time the didn't hide it from him, it seems that a lot of herbs are equipped with hemostatic drugs and wound medicines. Interesting, really interesting. Don't tell him that his parents are here to make money.

"Mom, do you need to prepare some chilblain medicine this time?"

Zhang Guoqing in the back seat laughed happily when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Jiao beside him, "How is it?" My son is smart enough to follow me, isn't he? ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him with a smile.

"Son, there has been a lot of friction on the southern border recently, you should have listened to me and your grandfather's analysis, right? Prepare some herbs just in case. As for the chilblain medicine, I still don't need it for the time being, but insect repellent and epidemic prevention drugs can also be prepared. ”

This is the external excuse that Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao have thought of, otherwise it is not a small amount to donate after a while, how to explain it?

Ping An didn't doubt this reason, but was worried about other issues. He frowned, so if his grandfather and his father's calculations were true, then a future war would be inevitable.

On the one hand, he was worried about the impermanence of the world, and on the other hand, his eyes were shining, and he quickly calculated how high he could reach by making meritorious contributions a few times. Patriotic?

Nonsense, he thinks that he was born under the red flag, he was born in a military family, how can he shrink behind the country when he is in trouble, not to mention that there is a crisis and an opportunity, how can he miss a good opportunity.

Zhang Guoqing didn't know an excuse he was making at random at this moment, which had already made his eldest son start to move, and he was holding his daughter-in-law's little hand, chatting about some trivial matters at home and outside the house during the week that the two of them were not at home, including of course the recent letter from his hometown.

With the spread of a large family from generation to generation, the population will naturally increase, and then it will inevitably become more and more popular.

This time, Dad Zhang mentioned that Xizi's daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, Zhou Jiao can understand without thinking about it, since the first child gave birth to a girl, although the old Zhang family is not patriarchal, but the fourth generation of grandchildren still have a different status. This is no longer comparable to the twins and sons they are in.

No, Father Zhang was very happy in the letter, and specifically mentioned that the child was born with six catties and five taels. Let Zhang Guoqing and his wife go home to eat 100 days of wine if they are free, and choose a good name for the child by the way.

On the contrary, Zhang Lao Er is much calmer, and he will also say that the next generation of the old Zhang family will be married. Well, yes, in his conception the son is the queen.

The main thing is to calculate Zhang Guoqing's favors in the past six months. Speaking of why he listed the details for Zhang Guoqing, this has to say one thing.

Since the nephews and nieces and nephews in their hometown started to have happy events, because they are almost the same age, the subsequent favors have been one after another, either the children of several nephews' families have been baptized three times, or the nephews' children have a full moon ceremony......

This is inseparable from Zhou Jiao, who must often send money and send gifts. It doesn't matter if she sends money, anyway, every month she has to pay her in-laws fifteen yuan as alimony.

But for some gifts, you have to keep sending parcels, and there are too many times. In this way, Zhang Guoqing was reluctant to let her go to the queue from time to time, not to mention that she had to bother preparing gifts.

So, he gave these favors to his second brother with full authority, anyway, Zhang Lao Er is selfish and selfish, but he really has nothing to say about his younger brother.

In the past two or three years, Zhang Guoqing has obtained his consent, and he has begun to remit 50 yuan to him at the end of the year, with some coupons, hand them over to him, and follow him as he likes.

In this way, the two brothers don't have to discuss every time they get a favor, but Zhang Lao Er is more meticulous in his work, and he has to list the details to Zhang Guoqing after half a year.

Zhang Guoqing reminded him every time that he didn't have to be so particular, but Zhang Lao Er often said that his brother would settle accounts. He himself is really short of money, and he would rather stretch out his hand to his younger brothers and sisters to ask for it, rather than break the rules.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Jiao say that the husband and wife are individual sperm, and even Zhou Xiaozheng reminded his son-in-law not to treat his second brother badly, and he had the opportunity to take a hand.

"This time, the second brother has something for us to ponder, what is the granddaughter of Uncle Zuo's family called Zuo, the little girl who loves her the most?"
