The two sand fruit trees in the backyard are full of red fruits, and the row of jujube trees against the wall are densely packed with small red dots, and the small black and purple grapes shine brightly in the sun, so you can't pay attention to it. If you don't pick it again, it's a waste to meet a rainstorm.

In order to be able to eat the green corn, peanuts, and edamame in her mouth, Zhou Jiao followed Zhang Guoqing's actions overnight, and spent two nights breaking the innermost green corn.

Two days ago, I heard Aunt Zuo say that she was going to start catching young criminals again. This is linked to the class struggle, who is not afraid? No, on the day she returned to the county seat, Zhou Jiao deliberately went to see the notice.

Every time the green corn is on the market, a notice will be posted in the market: edamame and green corn are prohibited from being listed, and those who illegally sell 10 ears of green corn and less than 5 catties of edamame will be confiscated once discovered.

If it is more than 10 ears and more than 10 catties, it will be confiscated and fined. If the amount is huge and the attitude is not honest, it will be handed over to the ideological education of the group authoritarian. Once the purchase of edamame and green corn is discovered, they will also be fined, and those who are not satisfied will be fined.

Listen to ...... Don't scare people to death.

That is, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother have always trusted that their old son will not run the black market if he is not short of money, otherwise he has to stop it, where will he help hide it.

This is also the reason why the old man Wu helped buy other fruits and vegetables except for edamame and green corn. Compared with money tickets, everyone cherishes their lives more.

In order not to attract attention, Zhang Guoqing also spent an afternoon replanting crops. So, the price to pay for a bite of green corn is huge.

At this time, Zhou Jiao ignored Zhang Guoqing's instructions before leaving, took her son, and took a bamboo pole to beat dates. Crackling and knocking a few times, Xiao Ping'an shook his head on the side.

"Let's wait for my dad to come back, shall we?"

Zhou Jiao hurriedly shook her head: "Don't wait for your dad, he is busy all day long, who knows when he will be free." ”

"But you promised him."

"I'm a white lie." Zhou Jiao rubbed her arm, it's so fucking sour! She caught a glimpse of her son snickering, "Baby, we have to be self-reliant, and leave it all to your father, he must not be tired." ”

Ping An didn't refute, he beckoned to Zhou Jiao and motioned for her to squat.

He leaned on Zhou Jiao's ear and whispered: "I'll call my brothers to come over, let them eat and drink enough, and do some work for me." ”

Zhou Jiao looked up at the surrounding fruit trees, except for the plums that had been harvested a long time ago, there was really no way to rely on the rest alone.

Seeing her move, Ping An hurriedly comforted: "Mom, if you want to play, there will be a lot of them when you get home." We have several yards for you to play. ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him, "What about coaxing your mother?" I can only go to the old courtyard, and no one over there will come back, you know? ”

"Good Ratcha. Mom, you rest for a while, I'll be back soon. ”

Seeing him run away quickly, Zhou Jiao hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, don't fall." ”

"I'll be careful."

Watching the child walk away, Zhou Jiao continued to beat the branches with a bamboo pole. If it weren't for the soreness of her raised arm, she felt like she would have been able to do it in no time.

When she was self-absorbed, Zhang's mother entered the backyard from the front, and when she saw her posture, she laughed happily.

Zhou Jiao touched her hair embarrassedly, "Mother, go to his brothers safely, do you see it?" ”

"As soon as I came out of your aunt's house, I saw him running into the house. Kiko: They're all in the backyard over there, don't worry. Zhang's mother picked up another bamboo pole as she spoke, "Why don't you let Xizi and them come over to help?" It's all red, and it has to be knocked off. In the past, I thought that Xiao Wu had planted too much, but now red dates are rare. ”

"Your old son is yours, smart."

Hearing this, Zhang's mother laughed happily.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted a few words, and Zhou Jiao remembered Zhang Ziwen's wedding banquet, "Mother, did the eldest sister say how many tables she wants to hold tomorrow?" Should we go back to the county seat early? ”

Mother Zhang shook her head, "No, the banquet will be held tomorrow night, and we will have time to go back tomorrow afternoon." Your eldest sister-in-law's family will have two tables, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sit down if they are too few. She said that there was seafood this time, so she opened a few more tables, and I didn't ask her for details. ”

Zhou Jiao secretly smacked her tongue: If there are two tables, won't the whole family go to the county seat? I'm really going to fight the autumn wind! But it's not surprising to think that your own family is also a family.

Well, you can't look at people with double eyes.

"Ziwen and his grandfather are so happy, even the old captain and patriarch invited them over. Fortunately, there are vegetables in the yard now, so I don't have to spend a lot of money. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled. Accountant Zhang wants to save face, as an old man, seeing his grandson is born, he is still a grandson who will inherit his mantle in the future, but he has to wake up laughing in his sleep.

"If you want me to say, there's no need to toss so much. The child still has a long way to go in the future, and it's not good to make it too lively. This is not a daughter-in-law, and your eldest sister's family has to be nervous about food supply after a meal. ”

Speaking of the rations at the wedding banquet, Zhou Jiao immediately remembered one thing. She smiled and said: "Mother, now the capital pays attention to taking an oath in front of the chairman's statue when it comes to happy events, and it will be over after eating a happy candy." Last year, I had several servings, and only one of them held a banquet in the canteen, with a two-fold noodle steamed bun for one person, a table of three vegetarian dishes and one meat and a cabbage soup, and twelve people were seated. Before I could move my chopsticks twice, there was only one bowl of soup left. ”

Mother Zhang put down the bamboo pole when she heard this, frowned and shook her head and said: "The water spilled by the married daughter, I am a foreigner, and some things are really hard to say." I don't know if your eldest sister will know it? ”

Zhou Jiao suddenly patted herself in annoyance, her mother-in-law misunderstood.

She hurriedly said: "Mother, there are local customs in various places, and the eldest sister must follow the rules of our side, and she will not let people grasp the handle when she does things." Didn't my brother go to the county seat today? He'll definitely go to the eldest sister's. With him, it will be fine. ”

"Ouch, if you don't mention this bad boy, I'm not worried, but when I talk about him, I'm even more worried. You won't run to Zhang Luo again, right? Why is this kid so stupid? ”

Zhou Jiao saw that she was in a hurry, and then she heard the sound of Xizi and them talking outside, she didn't plan to do it herself, and took Zhang's mother and walked out.

She comforted as she walked: "Mother, brother, he has participated in many banquets, and there is nothing in it that he doesn't know." Besides, now that the eldest sister has her in-laws, her brother will not interfere in their Zhang family's housework. Don't worry, didn't I just say it, your old son is up to you, he's very smart. ”

"Auntie, why didn't you order us to come over?"

"That's it, you go to rest with my grandma, we don't have to wait for dinner, we can do it."

Zhou Jiao looked at these children, smiled and nodded, "Okay." Then be careful and stay safe. I'll steam the jujube cake for you to taste in the afternoon. ”

Xiao Zuo jumped up happily, "Little aunt, steam more." ”

"Little aunt, let's catch loaches and touch snails in the afternoon."

"Okay."

"You spoil them. When you're done, go to the old courtyard and shout. After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Jiao, "Let's go, go and see how your sister-in-law and them are courteous, you look the same as them." ”

Zhou Jiao secretly annoyed why she was so substandard today. I knew that she was going to discuss the gift, so she might as well pick the fruit with the children.
