Zhou Xiaozheng, who was at home on vacation, was playing chess with Zhang Guoqing and the others, and looked up at the outside from time to time. At this moment, when I saw Zhou Jiao come back, it was a bamboo basket loaded with things, and it was covered with a layer of black cloth.

Zhou Xiaozheng condensed slightly and glanced deeply at the son-in-law opposite.

Zhang Guoqing nodded at him and smiled. He knew that his father-in-law should have noticed.

For Zhou Xiaozheng, the old man. After discussing it with Zhou Jiao repeatedly, he felt that the space really couldn't hide it from him, and he didn't want to hide it from him.

It's been 58 years, and the outlook is not good. They are far away in the northeast, and it is difficult for them to communicate with each other. What if in the future, his father-in-law can't think of it, desperately picking out his own rations to fill his daughter, thus dragging down his body? What if his father-in-law thinks too much and makes a mistake for his daughter?

The most serious thing is that in a few years, some things are original sin and handles. The huge deposit receipts and valuables in their hands are even more difficult to keep.

His father-in-law knows all these things. He had to make his husband and wife understand that they had hole cards. No one wants to take advantage of his father-in-law's weakness Zhou Jiao to frame him.

His father-in-law regards his daughter as his life, and he will definitely do anything for Zhou Jiao in a crisis. As for whether he will be fickle when he has a son in the future? He and Zhou Jiao are convinced that this father loves his daughter.

The couple didn't say anything. The topic of space is too mysterious, so he can only accept it slowly.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at the child in front of him, and his mood was very complicated. That is, the son-in-law has unreserved trust in him, and he is even more guilty of doubting the son-in-law's character.

What is Zhou Jiao to Zhang Guoqing? Zhou Xiaozheng understands his daughter's status in Zhang Guoqing's heart very well. Zhang Guoqing is certainly a little inconsiderate, but he can be shrewd. He wouldn't fail to think of the consequences of something being exposed to him.

When he returned to Beijing this time, the young couple avoided his wife and secretly opened a small stove for him. At first, he was intoxicated by the excitement and joy of the family reunion, and he really didn't notice anything unusual. But with these two children unconcealed in front of him, in private, they were either fresh wild animals or fresh fruits. He's not a fool, how could he not have noticed anything abnormal?

In the spirit that more is better than less, he doesn't break it. He has been out for so many years and has seen a lot of strange things. It's nothing more than some legendary spell or some rare treasure. In the early years, he had heard that some people would encounter adventures, and it seemed that the two of them had met by chance. This is good, his Jiaojiao family has no worries for a lifetime.

"Don't pull it! Jiaojiao has been ripped down by you. As soon as Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, Lin Xuezhen immediately let go. She is not afraid of anyone, but she is afraid that her eldest uncle will have a calm face.

Lin Xuezhen patted her head vigorously and showed a flattering smile towards Zhou Xiaozheng.

"What are you anxious about? If you say let you pick casually, you will be asked to pick first. Zhou Jiao was so amused by her that she couldn't cry or laugh, what a living treasure! This character has a fight with Zhao Yuanyuan.

Zhang Guoqing held Zhou Jiao and took the bamboo basket. He didn't lift the black cloth either, and some good things had already been secretly hidden by her. His daughter-in-law is now a hamster and hides good things when she sees them.

"Tell me something good that makes you anxious?" Zhou Xiaozheng slowed down and said to Lin Xuezhen with a face. It is rare to have a conversation with his own girl, and he will not take his dissatisfaction with the Lin family to the little girl.

"Uncle, look at these wooden hairpins. I suspect Jiaojiao must have found a treasure. I just can't see what's good, it's black and dirty, and no one wants to put it in the corner. She loves cleanliness so much and buys it back, there must be a weird ....." When Lin Xuezhen saw him asking, she immediately talked about the reason.

Zhou Xiaozheng didn't wait for her to finish, took the bamboo basket handed to him by Zhang Guoqing, and opened it to take a look. He suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile.

Zhou Jiao smiled smugly at him.

"Uncle, do you see the famous hall? Will it be expensive for Jiaojiao to spend two dollars? Lin Xuezhen didn't dare to urge him, she was so anxious that she turned around.

Zhou Xiaozheng took out the wooden pallet and dialed the hairpin. After a moment, he nodded appreciatively at Zhou Jiao. He really played a role in teaching the children.

Among them, ebony and agarwood have not been treated, and even veterans are eye-catching. Now he is recognized by a fledgling little girl, that is, his delicate eyesight.

According to his observation, the agarwood hairpin must have been used by a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. Now it's all greasy and black, and it's hard to know that these 20 or so branches are passed down from people's ancestors, and their descendants don't know how to spoil them.

He secretly pondered that he would take Jiaojiao to the temple fair tomorrow to buy agarwood bracelets, which would just be suitable for her to wear.

"Haha...... Did I guess right? I knew that Jiaojiao wouldn't spend two dollars on these broken hairpins for no reason. But it's dirty. This shop is really lazy, as long as it is not washed, it will sell a lot. You wait for me, I'll go get soap and wash. Ouch, I don't know if I've washed ......" Lin Xuezhen kept chattering, and she was about to run.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly grabbed her. Does this stupid girl really think she can wash it off with soapy water? Then it's her turn to pick up the leak?

"Why are you pulling me? Alas... Know that you love cleanliness. I'm going to wash it, right? When Aunt Chen came back to wash, the cucumbers and vegetables were cold. You're going to have nothing to do, just stay aside and wait for me. ”

Zhou Jiao couldn't help but laugh and pointed at Zhou Xiaozheng and his son-in-law, and said with a smile: "Didn't you see that they were all snickering? This cannot be washed with soap. Let's see what my dad has to say. ”

Lin Xuezhen suddenly felt embarrassed and smirked at her.

Zhou Xiaozheng pretended to cough, cleared his throat, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, just wait a while." With that, he took out two bottles of solvent from the study and returned to the sofa.

"Uncle, what kind of water are you? Can it really be washed? Lin Xuezhen had already stepped forward to surround him. She found out that her eldest uncle was simply a man of God, how could he understand everything?

After asking, without waiting for Zhou Xiaozheng to answer, she turned her head and looked at Zhou Jiao with a sad face.

Zhou Jiao now knows this girl very well. Seeing her making a mistake, it is estimated that some strange ideas appeared. Immediately smiled at her.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded slightly. He picked out four hairpins casually, dipped the old cloth in the prepared solvent, and kept wiping a few wooden hairpins.

As he rubbed out the true face of the hairpin one after another, Lin Xuezhen covered her mouth excitedly. She glanced at Zhou Jiao, and when she saw her nodding, she immediately laughed happily.

Zhou Xiaozheng put down the last hairpin in his hand, glanced at the rest of the hairpins, and said slowly: "Okay, these four are worth a little money, and you can divide them yourself." ”

With that, he packed up the bottle and walked to the study.

Passing by Zhang Guoqing's side, he saw him smiling. Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him, secretly worried in his heart, this stupid child is not as smart as his family. The little girl of the Lin family is not stupid, and if she laughs again, she will be exposed.

Zhou Xiaozheng cleaned it up, and when he saw that Lin Xuezhen asked for a hairpin, he glanced at her. He picked one from the coffee table and threw it to her, saying, "One person has two sticks to play with." Don't lose it, and don't give it away! ”

Lin Xuezhen is not stupid, she knows that these four must be valuable. Didn't you see her uncle pick out four of the hairpins in a bunch of hairpins? The rest of the broken hairpins, he looked disgusted.

She hurriedly took it and put it on the coffee table, shook her hand and said, "One is enough." If there is one more, it will be snatched away by the eldest sister, so it is better to keep it for Jiaojiao to play. ”

Her words obviously hit the key point of Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter.

Zhou Jiao picked up the hairpin and put it in her hand, and said with a smile: "I'll take it for you." What's the wait? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng playfully looked at the little girl in front of him. He didn't expect that the usually silly and grinning little girl was still an understanding person. This girl is not with the Lin family, but like the Jiang family.

He said slowly, "Take it." Jiaojiao will give it to you. Don't give these two hairpins. These four are all antiquities of the Ming Dynasty. You keep it for later. ”

Lin Xuezhen's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was so frightened that she stuffed two hairpins directly into Zhou Jiao's hands, and said no.

Zhou Jiao was amused by her, stood up and stuffed it for her, and pushed her out. The little girl has vanity but a bottom line, and she has a good impression of this little cousin. There are a lot of shortcomings, but she is very protective of her.

"Be careful in the future. You can see a little girl and you can notice that you are extraordinary. Zhou Xiaozheng said to Zhou Jiao, who came back. He didn't plan to say the extra words, his Jiaojiao could understand it.

Zhou Jiao picked up the tray and nodded. Fortunately, her dad was on the side to fill in the gaps today. She ignored her usual low-key and thrifty style, which was too unusual today. It seems that she was too used to Zhang Guoqing taking care of the aftermath by her side, and as soon as she left him, there was a mess. And she still can't be happy with things and sad for herself.
