Chapter 217: Just in Case
Here Zhang Guoqing went back to the bedroom, and saw Zhou Jiao holding her son reading a book on the kang in the living room outside, humming a little song in her mouth, which was leisurely enviable.
"Brother, are you back? Where's Dad? As soon as Zhou Jiao saw him come in, she immediately stared at him with glowing eyes, and it was really strange that she didn't see her father later.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you later, it's not a bad thing. I've cleaned up after a busy day today, and I'm all dirty. Zhang Guoqing poured hot water, pulled down the towel and said.
Seeing that Zhou Jiao was still stable, he smiled and was not in a hurry to speak. At first, I made a cup of hot tea and put it on the coffee table, and after preparing everything, I returned to Zhou Jiao and took my son to sit down.
began to tell, starting from the meeting when he sent gifts to Zhou's house in the afternoon, and continued to talk about Cheng Lao and Mrs. Cheng taking Zhou Xiaozheng back to the guest house in the evening.
"That's the way it is, it happened so fast, I didn't even realize that I would go to the ancestral hall tomorrow. But I was really relieved.
Mrs. Zhou is not innocent in this matter, she knows the truth. But your dad is so big, he just doesn't show his mouth at all. She even knew that Liu Xizhi knew that it was clear that the child was temporarily fostering her family, and she planned to inherit the roots of the bloodlines of the two families. But she is good, and she deliberately conceals it, and she has no shortage of sons. I think she has a bit of a conscience. Her behavior is just inconspicuous in the comparison of Old Man Zhou. ”
Zhou Jiao thought carefully about what happened in her childhood, remembered her grandfather's contemptuous and smug eyes, and remembered that her grandmother was estranged when she grew up. Thinking of the similarity between herself and Grandma Lin by five or six points, and the similarity between her father and daughter, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Guoqing watched her face change sharply, and woke her up anxiously, "What's wrong with you, Jiaojiao?" ”
Zhou Jiao looked at the familiar face in front of her and said softly: "So my grandmother Gu Mingzhu and grandma Gu Ruyi are sisters of the five clans. They should know each other, and they are very similar. So my dad and my grandma are similar. You said that the old Zhou family and the Lin family would meet at the beginning, why weren't they curious? The same Gu, the same Zhou, or the same place of fame. My grandma may not wake up until later, but what about my grandma? Brother, people's hearts are unpredictable. ”
Zhang Guoqing was dumbfounded. He hadn't really thought about it at night, or he would have had to ask his father-in-law. He tried to remember what Mrs. Cheng had said in the evening, but unfortunately he walked away in the middle.
"Mrs. Cheng said that the Gu family forced the door to ask for a succession. She also said that even the Gu family, whom she hated the most, secretly inquired. The Cheng family is an outsider and can't help the Gu family. Coupled with the rebellion, they fled. The most important thing is that your grandmother Gu Mingzhu's mother was also forced to die, and this Gu family must have forced the main house at the beginning.
Wait, I'll think about it again, something is wrong, something is wrong! Grandma's attitude towards your mother is very average. Even you asked several times, grabbed your dad's hand, and stuffed the small wooden box directly into your dad, when your mother was by his side. It stands to reason that the two of them are neighbors and should be very familiar, but her attitude towards your grandfather is also very ordinary. This is the in-laws. Cheng Lao also said that he would visit his in-laws tomorrow, and our in-laws are not as good as your mother's in-laws. But when you drink, no one doesn't mention that the two families are in-laws. Even grandpa didn't mention a word. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded and said, "Dad will understand." He just got it. ”
"Go to bed early that night, and tomorrow we'll wait for them at the ancestral hall. Peace will be handed over to my mother tomorrow. By the way, remember to bring the deed of the Huang family's yard tomorrow and ask my father what he said, it is best to return it to the Zhou family. ”
Zhou Jiao frowned and said, "This yard is said to be the Huang family, but my mother made up the money to get it." It's really cheap for them. It's okay to give it, and you don't have to have anything to do with them again. ”
Zhang Guoqing comforted her and said: "Forget it, just treat the six-year rent as compensation." Listening to Cheng Lao's meaning, Dad's identity must be clarified with the above. Do you see anything missing? It is estimated that my parents will be leaving in the next two days. ”
Zhou Jiao lowered her head and was thinking, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "With the donation documents prepared by my aunt and grandmother, the Gu family has no trouble." The Zhou family's affairs involved two houses, and the old house was also demolished. The staff who handled the Wujin Courtyard at the beginning all passed away, and their names were also hung on my mother's, so there were no sequelae. My grandparents have passed away, and the Zhou family in the capital has become history, and I can't think of anything else. ”
"Okay, then you go to sleep first. Tomorrow is estimated to have a lot of things, and there are a lot of documents in the two suitcases that my aunt carried. It is said that they are all relics of your grandparents, and these must be passed on to your father and daughter. It's also time-consuming to go through these. Your grandmother Gu Mingzhu's affairs still have to avoid your mother, I don't worry about your mother, but she is too heartless. ”
Zhou Jiao understood what he meant, nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, you go to see your father and mother and go to bed early, by the way, I will tell my mother that I will take care of her safely tomorrow." I'll take my son back to the back room first, and it's time to go to bed. ”
Zhang Guoqing hugged his son and followed her inside, frowned and said: "Today, Aunt Zuo said two vacancies, let me consider waiting for my reply, I want to refuse, there is no need to be so urgent in the work of the eldest brother." ”
"Are you afraid of getting too close? Zuo Lin: That's fine. For Aunt Zuo, it's a matter of raising your hand. If it is suitable, it will be arranged directly, and it will be very troublesome to find someone again. From your second brother to his subordinates, you shouldn't think about alienating our two families. You just have to remember not to give people a handle. ”
Zhang Guoqing loosened his brows when he heard this, and suddenly smiled easily, "A similar warehouse management of a textile factory, and an internal recruitment of a supply and marketing cooperative. The textile mill is not a big problem, she can solve it. The estimation of the supply and marketing cooperatives is to introduce me to the past. ”
Zhou Jiao patted her head and remembered that she forgot to tell him something, "I remember hearing someone say that some people in the village who joined the work after 58 years will all return to their hometown after about 60 years, saying that there are too many people in the city and they need to compile a team to return to their hometown."
At first, he said that when the situation was good, he asked everyone to go back to work, but then he never returned to the city, and a few old men stayed in the village since then. The second brother is not afraid of Zuo Lin, and he is in public office. Big brother, if you don't plan to arrange a public office, you should pick a regular job as soon as possible, just in case. ”
Then Zhou Jiao talked about her thoughts. If there is a compendium team that wants to return to the village but cannot return to the city, then the work in the city is even more unattainable. It is not difficult to explain why in a few years the rural hukou will not be able to enter the city. When the situation became tense, she wouldn't let him make a move. According to her analysis, it will be arranged before the year, otherwise it will be too late. As for whether the three brothers will be conspicuous when they go to work together, it's just a different way. Don't do too much in the dark.
Zhang Guoqing looked at her in surprise, "Is there anything else?" That really has to be sooner, no matter what's low-key. If you go in and encounter layoffs, it will be even more troublesome. If you don't go, you have to go. Then you rest first, and I'll ask him what he thinks. ”
Zhou Jiao yawned, waved her hand and hugged her son to lie down.
