The capital at night has a unique view. I have lived in a couple for a long time, and now I see the familiar capital again, even if there are no later high-rise buildings, but the metropolis is the metropolis, and the historical heritage is particularly strong in this city.

Compared with the county seat when it gets dark, there are few pedestrians, which will be illuminated by the street lights on both sides of the road, and the buses, carriages, and people gather in December to have a New Year's flavor in the capital.

Along Changping Street, the car quickly arrived at the compound of the military region.

Regarding the rumored military compound, Zhang Guoqing glanced at it hurriedly, and it was not far from what he imagined.

Entering the compound, the car began to drive slowly, and in the car, Lin Lishan pointed to the direction of the buildings passing by and began to introduce, Zhang Guoqing learned that the Lin family and the Cheng family were in the back, and the courtyard was not far from the Zhou family, and his father-in-law seemed to be really promoted.

He subconsciously looked at Zhou Jiao, and sure enough, he saw her brows furrowed slightly, and soon looked out the window with a calm face.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, the old couple of the Cheng family and the old man Lin with a smile on their faces soon appeared, followed by a group of Cheng Lin's family members.

As soon as Mrs. Cheng saw the children in Zhang Guoqing's arms, she didn't bother to greet them, and pulled Zhang Guoqing inside, "Go into the house." The child must not freeze. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled apologetically with everyone, and followed the old lady into the living room.

Here, Zhou Xiao was hugging Zhou Jiao and coming in, "Everyone is in a hurry, right?" The train was delayed for more than two hours. Let's go to dinner first and talk while eating. ”

Facing the warm smiles around her, Zhou Jiao was busy greeting everyone. When I went inside, I saw a cradle by the sofa in the living room, where the child was lying now.

She smiled reassuringly, answered everyone's questions, and began to observe everyone secretly. This time, except for Mrs. Lin who did not appear, the Cheng Lin family in the capital should have gathered.

On the side, Zhou Xiaozheng saw his daughter smiling and entertaining everyone. Seeing that she was trapped in the encirclement, he quickly pulled her and didn't let her sit down.

"Everyone sit down first. I took Jiaojiao and Xiao Wu to their room to put their luggage first. Shanshan, you help Auntie prepare the food. Auntie, the child is handed over to you. After speaking, Zhou Xiaozheng immediately hugged her and walked to the east wing.

Seeing that his father and daughter were gone, Mrs. Cheng pushed Zhang Guoqing beside her and said with a smile: "Go and see your room, it's all your father who did it himself." The child has me, go quickly. ”

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said with a smile: "My dad is rare and delicate. The two of them must have a lot to say, so let his father and daughter talk to each other first. I'll go in later. ”

Cheng Lao smiled and nodded: "Xiao Wu can sit down and chat with us." Are your parents okay? Remember to bring them along next time. ”

"Yes. I didn't come this time, I must ask your father and mother to come next time. Old Man Lin then laughed.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly smiled: "They are all very good." Before I came, let me bring you a message, so that you don't forget to go to the house and sit when you have time. ”

"Remember to send a telegram to your father and mother after eating to report that you are safe. Let me introduce you to everyone, after you get to know each other, you will have a lot of contacts in the future. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao back to the east wing, visited the bedroom from the study, pulled her to the wardrobe, opened it and said with a smile: "Look, Dad is ready for you." You rest for two days first, and Dad will take you shopping. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded happily. The entire East Wing is her world. Her dad was very careful in his preparation, and she liked it too, but this time she had important things to ask.

"Dad, that one didn't come and was sick again, right? What's going on now? How did things go back then? You'll need to give me some information so I can decide how to get along with them. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng, he really didn't want his daughter to worry about these things. "Some things are complicated and can't be explained for a while. We'll talk when the people outside are gone. As for her, hum... Now that something happened to her mother's family, she knew that you were coming, and she happened to be sick. ”

"Hehe, is this a position waiting for me to come to the door? Tomorrow I'll ask my aunt and grandmother to accompany me to find clothes. Zhou Jiao was really speechless, she could be so good.

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed sullenly. And he knew that his daughter was with him. He was looking forward to Gu Ru's opinion, how Zhou Jiao, who was like a grandmother, would react? Whether she took advantage of her illness to avoid paying the dowry this time, or wanted to take the opportunity to let him come to the door, and wanted their father and daughter to suffer a loss, then let's see who has the highest means?

Zhou Jiao thought it was funny when she thought about it, and put aside this matter and talked about worshipping her ancestors and going to the grave. Her father and daughter had already communicated this matter in the letter, and now they are sure again.

Zhang Guoqing came in, pointed outside and said, "Dad's dinner." Let's talk about it when the people are gone. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, let them wash their faces first and come out, he still has to go to see the child first.

After Zhang Guoqing poured the water, he thought about it and said, "Jiaojiao should be careful to point your eldest cousin." This woman is a little abnormal. Knowing that your father and daughter were talking, she wanted to come in and say something to look at the room, but was stopped by her aunt and grandmother. ”

After Zhou Jiao cleaned up, she pulled him out and said softly, "Don't worry." I know it. There are some things that will be said until they are gone. ”

There were two tables in the living room, crammed into one place. Zhou Xiaozheng pulled his daughter to sit beside him, and while responding, he kept putting vegetables into Zhou Jiao's bowl in his hand.

Cheng Sijin had already seen this kind of scene, and he didn't think it was strange. It was Lin Aiguo and Li Jianjun who looked at Zhou Xiao teasingly as he was picking fish bones.

At the dinner table, everyone deliberately avoided the topic of Mrs. Lin, talked about the famous places of interest in the capital, and chatted about some happy things.

Zhou Jiao knew that this topic had to be brought up by herself. Others can avoid it intentionally or unintentionally, but she doesn't allow herself to gossip about etiquette. As for what she thinks in her heart, that's her own business.

For a while, I didn't see that Old Man Lin was absent-minded, her uncle Lin Aiguo's eyes that often looked at her were full of scrupulousness, and the rest of the Lin family frequently glanced at her.

Zhou Jiao didn't notice it when she saw this. If you have eaten enough beforehand, there are some things that you can't hurry when they come. What she has is time.

Towards the end, Zhou Jiao said with a smile: "Grandpa, is grandma's health poor this winter?" Have you seen that she has free time for two days, and I will visit her old man's home? ”

Old Man Lin was shocked, and said happily: "Okay." Your grandma has been thinking about you for a long time. Good boy, wait for your grandma to get better and come back to see her. The hospital is not a good place not to go. ”

"I listen to my grandfather. You always see if grandma can come back in the next few days, and I and the little fifth brother will go to see her when it's late. Take good care of yourself. Zhou Jiao looked at the old man who was a lot haggard and said.

Who didn't count it in his heart, the old man probably had already figured out the taste.

After sending them away, Lin Lishan took the opportunity to pull Zhou Jiao into the bedroom of the East Wing.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao sighed secretly, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her.

"Jiaojiao, your grandma is really angry with me. Don't look at her. ”

After Lin Lishan finished speaking, seeing her daughter looking confused, she patted her head. She was so confused that she forgot that her child didn't know what was going on.

Gu Changqing of the Gu family has a grandson, and the other party has an accident playing with a female student at school. Originally, I was divorced, and it didn't matter if I married a woman, but the matter was stabbed in the newspaper, and I couldn't cover it up if I wanted to. Now the other party has been arrested on hooliganism.

Mrs. Lin tried her best to save people, and finally asked Lin Lishan to find Zhou Xiaozheng to think of a way, and it seemed that as long as Zhou Xiaozheng agreed, it would be fine.

Lin Lishan felt that her man couldn't help her at all, so she rejected her. What's more, her mother suspected that her man was making up this matter, how could she say it to her own man?

Hooliganism, what a rare crime, whoever sticks to it is unlucky!

Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing, "So for this matter, the old lady went to the hospital?" ”

"Jiaojiao, do you think your dad will intervene? I don't dare tell your dad that your grandma is suspicious of him. Your dad didn't even go to your grandmother's house when he came back this time, let alone visit her in a nursing home. I think she's just overthinking. ”

Zhou Jiao said with a straight face: "My dad wouldn't do such a thing. You ask the old lady what reason is it for him to do this? My dad is in the barracks every day, where does he have the time to check on other people's chicken feathers? My father, who has a grudge, has already gone up to beat him, who is willing to get involved in these things. Is the old lady old and confused and starting to be suspicious? ”

"I don't think your dad did it. Even your dad didn't do anything, there must be a reason for what he wanted to do. Don't go to see your grandma, those people in the Gu family often go there. ”

Zhou Jiao roughly understood in her heart that this thing might really be done by her father. But she couldn't admit it. It seems that someone really did something when her grandparents had an accident.

"Let's take a look. I didn't come back to see her, and I couldn't make sense of it. Besides, didn't you ask me for a dowry? Hehe...... Mom, don't worry. I went, what happened to those people in the Gu family beating me? The last time you came back, Dad didn't tell you about those two sums of money, did he? ”

Lin Lishan sighed, "Your father didn't mention it, but I did mention it." He said forget it, and he said something about the same as you said. I also asked your grandma, and she didn't say a word. I asked her if she had embezzled the dowry she had prepared for you, but she replied to me with a word. I went to ask for the keys early this morning, and in the evening there was no one there, so let's move home first. ”

Zhou Jiao frowned disapprovingly, and then thought about it as little as it was noticeable. asked about other trivial things after her father came back, and saw that there was nothing to do, so she pulled Lin Lishan back to the living room.

There is no one else in the family except the aunt to take care of Ping'an. After knowing that Zhou Xiaozheng was taking Zhang Guoqing out to shoot a telegram back to the Northeast, Zhou Jiao began to open the package and sort out the gifts for others.

When Zhou Xiaozheng came in, Zhou Jiao looked up and found that he was the only one, and looked at him strangely.

"Xiao Wu was dragged away by the Fang family boys. Don't rush to clean up your things, you can rest first. Tell your dad how you did in this exam? Is it okay for Zhao Dashan to find someone? Xiao Wu's family didn't give you any anger, right? ”

Zhou Jiao raised her head and smiled proudly: "It's still the first." Dad, your daughter scored 595 points out of 600, and next time I will try to get you a grand slam. Xiao Wu and I made up for the first year of high school, and now we are in our second year of high school. He did well in the exam. We're still number one. ”

"That's pretty much it. Don't put too much effort into perfection. ”

Zhou Jiao saw him waiting for an answer, and then said: "Uncle Dashan is looking for someone to see that it's okay at the moment. When she came, the little fifth father didn't live in the county seat. ”

"Godfather, the couple will come to the door every three or five days, and every time they are empty-handed. The remaining four uncles would occasionally come with them to see us. They have a package to send you in two days. Grandma Zhou and the old patriarch's grandson's New Year's gift, Xiao Wu originally wanted to send it to his father in person, saying that he was worried that the old Zhou family would post it, and he said that he would deal with it. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded with satisfaction. Someone can take care of daily life, and everything else is trivial. He saw that it was not early, and he had to let her rest early.

"Don't rush to clean it up, we'll talk about it tomorrow during the day. Come to the study with Dad first, and give you the entry and exit documents for the two of you first. Your mom and I have to go to work tomorrow. You're all right at home, right? ”

Zhou Jiao knew that they had taken a day off today, "There are Aunt Chen and Grandma at home. You go to work with peace of mind. We can't lose it, we call your office phone if we have something. ”

Lin Lishan saw him hesitate, "I'll come back tomorrow when the group is arranged." Brother Zheng, don't worry. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and took Zhou Jiao into the study.

Aunt Chen saw him go in, and said in a low voice: "The chief usually keeps a straight face, but I didn't expect to spoil the child so much." "She hasn't been working here for a long time, and she is usually afraid that Zhou Xiaozheng will have a straight face.

"Hehe, we Jiaojiao are very sensible, and you will know if you have more contact in the future. Don't talk about her father, even her parents-in-law love her, and my father is even more talking. ”

"It's good, it's a good boy at first glance." Aunt Chen nodded in agreement.

Two days ago, Zhou Xiaozheng kept telling her to prepare more dishes. She is really worried about a spicy and unreasonable rural stupid eldest sister, or a willful eldest lady.
