After eating noodles, send off relatives and friends.

A simple and lively first birthday ceremony passed in a hurry.

In the living room of Zhang's small courtyard, Zhang Guoqing is holding his son at this moment, and Zhou Jiao is registering personal contacts.

"The most regrettable thing is that these two times, Dad didn't come. Son, you remember that you must not be a soldier in the future. It's okay to play in the wooden warehouse given by grandpa, but don't take it seriously......"

Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhang Guoqing's chatter.

"Don't laugh. After Hei'an, he became a soldier, and we didn't know how many times a year we could see our son. Son, as long as Dad thinks about it, he feels distressed..."

Zhang Guoqing and his son were playing on the kang, pretending to be distressed and falling to the ground.

provoked Zhou Jiao to laugh.

Instead of worrying about his son's future, he should worry about himself first. If it weren't for her father's efforts to stop her, Zhang Guoqing would have been a soldier's brother.

Zhou Jiao shook her head, covered her notebook, and remembered the old man who was still in the guest house, "Grandpa came over suddenly this time, I guess my dad didn't expect it." How do you say? ”

"I don't know. I couldn't give my heart to his face. ”

"Godfather is really not righteous enough, so he slipped away. Tomorrow I don't want to accompany my grandfather and them to the provincial capital. ”

Zhang Guoqing frowned and thought carefully.

After a while, he shook his head, "I'll really have to go over tomorrow." I guess my grandfather's biggest purpose for coming here this time is to meet old friends. ”

When Zhou Jiao heard this, she immediately sat up straight and said, "Who else do you want to transfer over?" Lin Aiguo is impossible! The Lin family must have someone in the capital, and he is the most suitable person. Lin Ai's party has just been mobilized, and it is impossible. Then all that remains are the two grandsons - the victory brothers. Do you feel the need for it? ”

Zhang Guoqing said in a low voice: "It is very necessary. Lin Dingsheng's place for further study was suddenly gone, his father was transferred, and his mother had a stain on him. Do you think he really intends to rely on his own skills? ”

Zhou Jiao shook her head. No matter how much a person like Lin Dingsheng is cultivated, he can't compare to Xiao Zhou, let alone Fang Fei's outstanding senior cadres.

It's not that she looks down on Lin Dingsheng. Lin Dingsheng, who was regarded as the successor of Mr. Lin, lacked the courage to be a family member and the responsibility that a man should have.

When something happened to the Lin family, Lin Xuezhen and the two sisters knew that they had written a letter of apology in an attempt to ease the relationship between the two families. But her father Zhou Xiaozheng and himself have never seen Lin Dingsheng say a word.

Lin Dingsheng's ability, what ability? Since that day when he dared to change his concept in front of her father and change the theme to borrow money to repay the money, she no longer looks down on the so-called excellent child.

The more Zhang Guoqing thought about it, the more sure he was of Old Man Lin's intentions. Otherwise, the day after tomorrow, everyone will return to Beijing, why will he stay in the provincial capital? Also let Zhou Jiao accompany you?

Lin Xinsheng's grandson, Zhou Xiaozheng's nephew - Lin Dingsheng?

The husband and wife glanced at each other, this identity does have the capital to take shortcuts in the Northeast Military Region.

"Maybe when we met in the capital last year, the old man already had two plans to push Lin Dingsheng up. Otherwise, when the elders forced me to enlist, he wouldn't have said anything in front of me. I'm not a soldier, who will take advantage of Dad's resources? It's just that he didn't expect the two families to have such a deep grudge at that time.

It is not suitable for Lin Dingsheng to return to Beijing at present, and the old man can't control his father, so the only best way is to transfer Lin Dingsheng to this military region.

He calculated that there were many rumors from the outside world, but as long as his mother was in Zhou's house for a day, the outsiders would think differently. It also counted this opportunity and our person. This time my son is one year old, and he just asked you to accompany him to the provincial capital. You see it's hard for you to refuse him, are you? ”

Zhou Jiao nodded, "A lot of things are not what he wants." These things, since we think of Dad, he should also count. Don't mention him. You take a look at the list first, according to the above quantity, we can't afford to divide the steamed buns. ”

Zhang Guoqing took the notebook and quipped: "Didn't my mother say it?" The end of the walk of the people. ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him. She didn't have an opinion, it wasn't that he said that he wanted to send steamed buns, even if he mixed coarse grains, he must send steamed buns. Is it necessary?

Zhang Guoqing glanced at it a few times, and he smiled at Zhou Jiao. There's really no way to give a gift back – some people send two pairs of socks and insoles.

After sorting out the chores, the family rested, and the couple took the children and walked slowly to the guest house.

This time, Mrs. Cheng asked her eldest daughter-in-law to congratulate her on behalf of the Cheng family, and Cheng Ruzhu represented the Wen family. And the Lin family, only the old man Lin came to the Northeast with his two daughters. With his understanding of his granddaughter, he refused to allow his daughter-in-law to come to the Northeast to celebrate together.

Old Man Lin got up from a nap at the moment, sat in the outer living room and chatted with his two daughters.

As Zhang Guoqing expected, he was persuading his eldest daughter to stay in the Northeast for a few more days at this time and accompany Zhou Jiao well.

Lin Lishan pinched her fingers and counted the days, and said with a smile: "Dad, I will stay for three days at most." There is still a mission in three days, and I have to go back. ”

Old Man Lin nodded with satisfaction, "That's fine." Go to the provincial capital to take Jiaojiao and her children for a good visit. If Xiao Ying is not in a hurry, she will stay for a few more days to enjoy the scenery of the north. ”

Lin Liying glanced at her sister helplessly. You bring guests over for your grandson's first birthday, and you let them go back to Beijing first. Do you do that?

"Sister, you better go and discuss with Aunt Ruzhu and her sister-in-law first. Let's see if they can delay coming back with us for two days, and I don't think there's a problem. Just take a walk around the northeast. ”

Lin Lishan just stood up to find someone, when she heard a conversation getting closer and closer outside, "It's Jiaojiao and Ruzhu who are coming." I asked them right away. ”

Soon a voice came from the door, "Sister-in-law, are you in the old man's house?" ”

"Come on in. I was just going to talk to you about something. Lin Lishan opened the door and said happily when she saw a group of them.

A group of people entered the room, and everyone greeted Old Man Lin, and they all looked at Lin Lishan, waiting for her to say something.

Lin Lishan touched the peace in her arms and said with a smile: "Do you want to postpone going back for two days?" We left in a hurry the last time we came. I don't know how the Northeast came twice. How about we go shopping this time? It shouldn't matter if you postpone it for two days and take one day off, right? ”

Cheng Ruzhu and her sister-in-law Liu Ting looked at each other, it didn't matter to her. Usually the unit is fine on Saturdays, and taking a day off is nothing.

Seeing Liu Ting nodding, she smiled happily: "Listen to you." What are the arrangements? Huang Huimin said today that she would take us out tomorrow. ”

Zhou Jiao listened and said, "Do you want to go farther in three days?" I was last in City D. It's nice there. The port is large, from north to south to east and west. ”

Old Man Lin glanced at Zhou Jiao and saw that she was full of interest. He thought that the child should have been unintentionally proposed, and definitely not deliberately avoiding the provincial capital.

Cheng Ruzhu listened to Zhou Jiao's suggestion, she was quite moved, looked at everyone, and hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, Old Man Lin said, "Why don't we go back to the provincial capital for dinner now?" When you get to the place, you will discuss it with Zhao Xiaozi and his wife. It is better not to go too far, it is inconvenient to take children. ”

The old man's proposal was approved by everyone.

In the county seat, a lot of mobility is limited. Everyone asked Zhang Guoqing to go back quickly, call Zhang's father and Zhang's mother to go to the provincial capital for dinner and stay for a few days.

Zhang Guoqing listened to everyone's urging, looked at Zhou Jiao, and saw her nodding slightly. He smiled and said goodbye to everyone and left.

In order to celebrate his son's birthday, he left enough holidays, and it was hopeless to plan for a family of three to travel alone.
