"Daddy, are you in the back room?"

Zhang Lao Er held the newspaper and began to call his father as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The weather in the northeast was already very cold in early November, and the living room of the county courtyard had already hung a curtain.

Father Zhang hasn't come out yet, but his voice has attracted Mother Zhang.

I saw her open the curtain of the door, beckoned to him, and compared the direction of the West House.

Zhang Lao Er raised his eyebrows, "There are guests?" ”

"Your Uncle Chen is chatting with your father in the back room."

Uncle Chen mentioned by Zhang's mother is Zhang Meimei's father-in-law, who is her old in-law.

Zhang Lao Er smiled knowingly, "My Uncle Chen is not at home to tease his little granddaughter, why are you willing to come?" ”

Xiao Yaoyao was taken by her grandmother to the provincial capital for a banquet. Your Uncle Chen seems to have come directly from your Uncle Zuo. I watched them talk about our little five, and you should listen to it too. ”

Zhang Lao Er squinted, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and shook his head speechlessly. The friendship between Uncle Zuo and Uncle Chen is really iron!

Zhang's mother asked in a low voice as she walked, "Is there enough oil at home this month?" Your sister-in-law also came to complain about the children in the family in the afternoon, saying that they are so ignorant, and all the oil in her family is given to Huohuo. ”

Speaking of Huang Cuilan, Zhang Lao Er subconsciously frowned, "What does she know about an old lady!" Those four people were knocked down, and they didn't see how festive the whole county was!

The big guys all take out the oil to fry, and she still wants to keep it and be pointed out? Mother, you remind her a little more, don't keep deducting and searching, if you provoke a few nieces and daughters-in-law to look down on her, who is really filial to her? ”

Mother Zhang waved her hand and sighed, "I said, why didn't I say it." Do whatever they want, and you don't care about her. What did your uncle say about the stone? If it is appropriate, marry a daughter-in-law early and enter the door, and the children will be too old. ”

Referring to his son, Zhang Lao Er paused and said with a smile, "This year is not a good year. However, I have already made an appointment with Brother Zuo, and at the end of the year, I will find a matchmaker to marry the two children. ”

There is another sentence that he didn't say is that according to Zuo Lin, on the day of the wedding, the old man and the old lady of the Zuo family will come over. The implication of this is that he has been mixed for so many years, I understand~

Didn't he just want his brother to go back to his hometown to attend the wedding?

When he first married the Zuo family, he was worried about this. If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two children was really good, he would really be a little reluctant.

Especially when the news came out in the newspaper today, he was always worried that the Zuo family in the capital would pull the stupid brother of his family. His daughter-in-law doesn't understand, can he still not understand?

That stupid girl really thought that the Zuo family's family was higher than the Zhou family, and she said that it was appropriate to be so close, maybe in the future, Xiao Wu would encounter trouble in the capital, and someone would be able to pull it along.

Pull, pull a bird!

"Matchmaker? Otherwise, let Uncle Chen and his wife come forward. ”

Zhang Lao Er shook his head, he really didn't want to involve the little sister's family, "It's better to find a formal matchmaker, everyone understands what is missing." ”

Zhang's mother heard her son say this, so she didn't object. Anyway, it's his own son, and he has the final say.

"What are you two muttering, why don't you come in quickly?"

As soon as Zhang's father's voice was raised, the mother and son looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Lao Er put down the newspaper in his hand and followed his mother into the West House quickly.

Uncle Chen saw Zhang Lao Er coming in with his mother, waited for him to say hello, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with coming to your father so late?" ”

"It's nothing, I just haven't been here yet." Zhang Lao Er moved a stool and sat down, "You haven't seen it for a few days, what are you busy with?" ”

Dad Zhang took it casually, "He has Xiao Yaoyao here, and he is reluctant to go out for a single step." ”

"You old fellow, hahaha, your eyes are red, aren't you?"

Jealous?

Dad Zhang really has no shortage of granddaughters, let alone great-granddaughters. If he said that he wanted a little doll by his side, his grandson would have to send the milk doll over immediately.

But is his brain in water, or does he think life is too easy?

has raised a child all his life, and it is not easy to let his wife take a break, how can he even want to suffer when he is old!

Seeing off Uncle Chen, who said goodbye and left, Father Zhang beckoned to his second son and went back to the back room together.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Lao Er muttered dissatisfiedly: "I don't look for you whenever something happens." ”

"Hehe......"

Dad Zhang sneered twice, and pointed to the newspaper he had specially brought in in his hand, "Xiao Wu is on the newspaper again?" ”

When Zhang's mother heard this, she immediately grabbed her hand, "What's it?" Where? ”

Zhang Laoer, who was startled by the old couple, was stunned when he heard this, and he relieved himself, and he asked puzzledly: "Who said that Xiao Wu is in the newspaper?" ”

"Dad, let me tell you, take a look at whether it is my Uncle Zhou's name on it?" The more Zhang Lao Er became more excited, and snatched the newspaper that was disliked by Zhang's mother with one hand.

Then he immediately flipped to the first article of the first edition and clicked on the name on it, "Look, Zhou Xiaozheng, is it my Uncle Zhou's name?" ”

Dad Zhang turned around and opened the drawer of the kangqin, took out reading glasses from it, carefully put them on, and stretched his neck to take a closer look......

At this moment, he immediately took off his reading glasses, wiped his eyes, put them on in disbelief, snatched the newspaper into his hand, and read word by word: "Vice Chairman Zhou Xiaozheng ......"

Zhang Lao Er leaned in front of him and asked again, "It's my Uncle Zhou, right?" ”

Father Zhang, who was in a daze, was shocked by him and shuddered, "Wait...... I want to think about it...... Ouch, my mother...... What's going on? ”

Zhang Lao Er also shook his head, "I didn't dare to ask Uncle Zuo, for fear of making a mistake." But I'm glad to see him today, and he's been silly in the morning......"

Dad Zhang didn't wait for his words to fall, grabbed the newspaper, and immediately stood up and put down his shoes, "I have to go to your Uncle Dashan, he must know that this old guy is really unkind, why don't you tell me." ”

Zhang Laoshou hurriedly grabbed his father's arm and hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, don't go, don't go!" ”

"What are you doing?"

"yes, what are you doing? Can you tell me about it first? ”

Zhang Lao Er pressed his father on the kang and asked solemnly: "Once the big guy knows that my Uncle Zhou is the vice chairman, what will happen?" ”

"I'll just ask you Uncle Dashan......"

"No, don't ask! Regardless of whether the person above is my Uncle Zhou or not, it should not be. Zhang Lao Er hurriedly shook his head, "Dad, do you want those old guys in Zhoujia Village to know, what will they do?" ”

"What for?"

Father Zhang sneered twice, "Even the ancestors can't take the turn of the Zhou family here!" Said so, but it really dispelled his mood of wanting to find Zhao Dashan in a hurry to confirm.

"Wait, wait for our little five to get a letter, see what he says. If he hadn't mentioned it, I guess my Uncle Zhou wouldn't be willing to publicize it. ”

The only thing Zhang's mother cared about was her old son, and when she heard this, she pulled her second son, "Take a good look, there are no five famous children in our family on it?" ”

When Zhang Lao Er heard this, he immediately cried and laughed. Anyone can be such a big official? His stupid old brother is not far off.

However, he didn't dare to say this, and he would be beaten first!
