During the ten or so days of business trips in Haishi, as soon as there was enough time to rest back and forth, Zhou Jiao would basically try her best to rush back to the village to accompany Grandpa Jiang in addition to going back to the ancestral grave of the Gu family.

It has nothing to do with returns, nothing to do with money, just for the eyes of the old man, the love, the reluctance, and his tireless teaching her how to behave in the world all his life.

This love for her grandchildren brought tears to her eyes when she left the village for the last time. Maybe others can't understand why the old man didn't want his granddaughter to leave, so he didn't follow her into Beijing.

But Zhou Jiao understands......

There is his beloved wife all his life, his familiar native sound, and the wandering heart of a wanderer, and now it is docking in the place of peace.

That's the power of roots!

made her grandfather never leave her homeland, just as she never thought of immigrating overseas.

When she returned to Beijing again, it was the end of August, and there were still people coming and going in the station, and after meeting Zhang Guoqing who picked up the station, she couldn't help but look dark with the street scene she saw on the car along the way.

"Go home first or go to work first?"

Zhou Jiao glanced at the watch time, "Let's go to the unit first, I have to deal with the business first, and have a good rest in the next two days." There's a lot of stuff this time, and you'll have to help with it. ”

Zhang Guoqing shook his head amusedly. He knew that his daughter-in-law would not be able to lead the sheep in China, so he deliberately asked: "How much did it cost this time?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao blushed shyly, "There are some losers." In addition to the dozens of yuan on the surface, it cost almost 600 yuan in private. It's too cheap, and one accidentally blows up. ”

"Hahaha......" A cheerful laugh came out of Zhang Guoqing's mouth, such a daughter-in-law made him like it so much, he wanted to bite a few bites first, what should he do?

"Brother?"

Zhang Guoqingqiang stopped laughing, and comforted with a smile: "It's good." It's not a loser, it's a necessity. My daughter-in-law just knows how to live. ”

"You're just going to break it."

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Guoqing glanced at an old man with a shaved yin and yang head in front of him, quickly diverted her attention, and said with a smile: "Our son is still waiting for you to go back, you have to hurry." ”

Speaking of children, Zhou Jiao's spirits lifted, "I bought a lot of pastries and snacks, enough for the three brothers to eat." Wait a minute, remember to remind me to take out the hairy crabs, but don't forget. ”

"Okay." There is no need for her to prompt this, Zhang Guoqing must also insist on whether there are loopholes to introduce suspicion. "In the few days you have been away from home, my son and I have planted a lot of wild vegetables."

"Went to the country?"

"Well, I also went to the welfare house twice, and I scattered a lot of wild vegetable seeds over there while people were not paying attention. The fruit trees in the three yards were also picked by my father and son. ”

"Oh, I thought you would miss me, it turns out that life is so wonderful."

Zhang Guoqing quickly touched her face with his hand, and glanced at her with a smile, "Who said that it is impossible to sleep alone." The son said that his mother was not at home, and the thief was sad every day. ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him, "Comrade, this is on the street." ”

Is it okay not to be on the street? Zhang Guoqing, who misinterpreted the will without authorization, nodded clearly. That's not bad! He also doesn't like to take risks.

Along the way, not far from the unit along the street, Zhang Guoqing knew her temperament, and agreed that he would go to the unit next door to find Wan Dayong to hang out.

Watching her enter the gate of the unit, Zhang Guoqing thought about it for a while, but still did not enter Wan Dayong's unit. It's not a peaceful time, and it's troublesome enough to really encounter something.

After waiting for almost an hour and not seeing her come out, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise. Pushed open the door and got out of the car.

After Zhou Jiao entered, she submitted the documents according to the usual process, reported the business trip, and then took the list to the finance office for reimbursement.

After being busy, he was about to leave, but he unexpectedly saw Jin Lijuan walking towards him, and he was still struggling to wink.

Zhou Jiao's heart moved, she walked forward quickly, followed her away, and the two went to the bathroom together, and on the way, she muttered that she would have a meeting later, don't go.

There are many people with mixed eyes, these words must have a deep meaning, Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly. Coming out of the bathroom, I said hello to her and left.

Her man is still waiting for her to go back together, and I don't know if he has come back from Wan Dayong?

As soon as she walked to the gate, she saw Zhang Guoqing wearing a military uniform walking towards her, and Zhou Jiao couldn't help but smile. What a coincidence!

"Can't go?"

Zhou Jiao nodded slightly, motioning for him to leave with him.

The husband and wife went to the car stop, Zhou Jiao took the lead in opening the car door, watched him enter later, and said softly: "Sister Jin just reminded me that it is best to attend the meeting first, and she didn't have time to say the details." While no one else asked me to be there, it seems that something should be wrong. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded.

"Then will you go back first? By the way, I took my things back, and I took the car by myself, and the ghost knows what kind of meeting this is, and how long it will be held, so I can't delay you from going to work in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Guoqing just hesitated.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly persuaded: "The family must be waiting for us to go back for dinner, you go back and talk to them first, so as not to worry them." ”

"Then you must go to the cafeteria first!"

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded repeatedly. While looking out the window, he cautiously began to release two small bamboo baskets of hairy crabs and half a bag of crayfish into the car......

After thinking about it, she put another steamed hairy crab in a black cloth bag

"Enough, not too much." Zhang Guoqing looked at the two bags that had been in the back seat in advance, and hurriedly stopped them. And let her leave herself an empty bag of marijuana.

I came back from a business trip for so long, and I didn't pay attention to it for a while just now, but this will keep the unit, not without a little benefit, even if everyone is not idle in private, but in the end I still see some problems.

It was said to be a meeting, but in fact, it was all gathered in the cafeteria. Just after a few bites of lunch, I got the news that everyone should not leave yet. Yes, it's everyone, including the old man at the door of the unit.

The theme of the conference is inseparable from those sensitive topics, solemn and heavy. A cafeteria, which used to be noisy, has become the main arena compared to the conference rooms.

While listening carefully, Zhou Jiao also found that a few familiar faces were missing. She didn't ask if the few absent people were on leave or if something was wrong?

Maybe soon, there will be a succession of absences in the room.

Sure enough, in the end, the problems concerning those few people also came to fruition.

At the venue, the old colleagues who had destabilized the stability and the new enemies were all emotional, as if they had been dug up their ancestral graves and shouted slogans.

Zhou Jiao had no intention of digging out how much truth was contained in it. When the waves come, whether it is a typhoon or a tsunami, the protection of self-preservation will gradually become the mainstream.

And once again, humanity is challenged.

If she is, why not? Laughing at the madness of the world and keeping the bottom line of being a person in the world is her only requirement for herself.
