Zhou Jiao watched her father break away from her mother. Zhou Jiao looked at him curiously, and saw his father take a closer look at the window, and raised his finger to tell her to be quiet. Mysterious, Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and didn't dare to laugh.

Zhou Xiaozheng took off his military coat, and he didn't know how to do it, so he saw him tear open the corner of the coat, and he touched the left and right of the inner village, and took out a pile of deposit receipts. A small handful of diamonds were found under the legs of the trousers. Then she took off her shoes, took out a small handful of diamonds from the heel, Zhou Jiao looked at it curiously, her father is used to doing special duties, everywhere.

"Quick, put it away first. Don't let people know, even Zhang Guoqing can't say it. She can't say anything about your mother, even your uncle doesn't know. Dad kept it for you, some of the targets are too big to hide. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly asked her to put it away, still staring at the door, and her voice landed.

Zhou Jiao immediately picked it up and put it in her underwear pocket, and pressed it with her hand. whispered in his ear and said, "Dad, does this count as your private money?" Dad, you didn't give birth to any younger siblings for me outside, did you? Dad, let me tell you secretly, my mother also gave me money as soon as she saw me, and asked me not to tell anyone, you are really a good couple with tacit understanding. Hehe. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head lightly when he heard this, and said funny: "Your uncle often follows, and I still have the heart to find others." With you, Dad can't find you a stepmother. Besides, your mother is a fool, she has been looking for me, I know all about it, I don't understand the hints, or look around, your uncle is so angry that he only scolds his father. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled at him proudly when she heard this, and turned around to take out the wooden box given by her grandmother from the drawer. Open the wooden box and pour out the contents as you go. Carefully open the box, turn it to the end and take out the bottom paper, revealing the == number engraved by the knife.

"How's that, smart, huh? It's just that Xiao Wu found out. Did Mom tell you how Xiao Wu found out? It's that I got it for too short a time, and my grandmother didn't give it to me secretly until I got married. At that time, I had to go to Shanghai to find you, try my luck, look for clues, and maybe find you. Xiao Wu said that you must come back at the end of the year, and also said the reason, so I was relieved. Dad, I found you a smart son-in-law. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and said, "It's really smart." Observe the nuances. Your grandfather praised him many times. Very good impression of him. Dad didn't like him as a smart guy. You only need an honest person, and it is better to be able to listen to your command in everything. Smart people are troublesome, and if you are ambitious, it will make you even more wronged. Dad originally planned to wait for you to grow up, find an honest one for you who doesn't have any big skills, spoil you, you have Dad to support you, you are also smart, and no one is afraid. But there is a reason for it, without Huang Zhaodi, he can't marry you. But smart people, hehe."

Zhou Jiao hurriedly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry." It was after much thought that I decided to marry him. Even if you know him, he is a more orthodox and decent person. You'll know if you pay more attention during this time. ”

"Well, look at the righteousness of the eyes today. Besides, no matter how much you toss in the future, you are not afraid, there is a father. Dad won't leave again, you just have to be good, and you can come as comfortable as you want. These certificates of deposit will be taken when they have the opportunity to go to SH, and the others will be kept first, and then they will be talked about when they have the opportunity. It's okay to be careful. Spend it casually, without any low-key. ”

"Dad, is this house in Shanghai still there? Did you buy me a 10-year-old flower dress inside? I just wanted to see what kind of gifts they were. ”

"Hehe, Dad prepared it secretly. I bought you a two-story small building, the house looks ordinary from the outside, but the upstairs dad is all open, and the two rooms are beautifully decorated. In the room, there is a piano bought by the priest, a little white dress that you wear when you are 10 years old, red leather shoes and some floral dresses. It's a pity that I can't wear that little dress now. You'll have to check it out when you have time, and Dad has hidden a lot of dollars and stuff in many places on the second floor just in case. The house was watched by a couple of lonely old people. I saved the life of his old lady. Tell him that when my daughter grows up, she will listen to her when she comes to see the house. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng recalled, and at that time he was thinking that his Jiaojiao must be very beautiful when she wore it, like a princess.

"When you were five years old, I happened to pass through the Northeast and wanted to see you. I disguised myself as a beggar to see you, but I was afraid that someone familiar would recognize me. Because of the urgency of time, I have been waiting for you at the bridge, but I saw it, but I was even more worried.

I always thought that your mother would take care of you by herself, and even if she couldn't take care of you according to your mother's temperament, she would definitely hand you over to your grandmother. Our family has money, and we are not afraid that your grandmother will not take care of you, nor is we afraid that you will be wronged, and I will come back in a year or two.

Who knew that your mother always thought that I was not dead, and would rush to find me and throw you to your grandfather. After seeing you, after I went back, I secretly compared those five-year-olds, and the more I felt that you were thin and only three years old, so I tried my best to hint at your mother. But she's dumber than a pig, and your uncle has helped her think of a lot of things.

Later, I couldn't get down, so I secretly prepared the house and told the two old men to wait for you to be 18 years old before you came to the door, so I secretly looked for you and took you to Shanghai. I want me to sacrifice it, you can't live in the countryside anymore, so you go back to Shanghai and have your own house, plus the yard in the capital. You won't be helpless, but I didn't expect you to be forced to marry in the end. ”

Zhou Jiao saw that his father was very unwilling for her to get married. Sure enough, the father-in-law and son-in-law are rivals in love. Unlike her mother, this mother-in-law is satisfied with Zhang Guoqing.

"When I was 10 years old, I couldn't stand it anymore, I missed my mother. I finally tried to please my grandfather and gave me a chance, and called my mother to say that she was going to find her, but my mother refused. At that time, my heart was very cold, I felt that no one in this world cared about me anymore, and they all told me when I was a child, I didn't want my mother, I didn't have a father. I've been receiving her letters for six years, and I haven't opened or answered them.

Later, when you have a baby, you find out that you are still alive. I took it apart and looked at it, trying to seriously think about how I got out of the confusion and looked at the people around me again, only to know that it wasn't my mother who didn't want me. She has been repeatedly saying in her letters that you are still alive, and she wants to follow in your footsteps to find your existence. Looking at those hints, I knew that she didn't love me. It's just that she lives with the belief that she finds you. So I don't blame my mother, but I still blame my grandfather from the bottom of my heart, why did the family say this, he acquiesced.

I have understood a lot of things since I was three or four years old, and I know how to read people's eyes and know which people are sincere or fake to me. The only friend is Xiao Wu, only he will say to give me half of his mother, and only he will secretly stuff eggs for me. When I was most helpless, he said that he would not go to the army, and if he also left like you, then who would really care for me like him. That's when I decided to marry him. Actually, I could go to Beijing myself for help, but I never wanted to rely on others, even if it was my grandfather. So, Dad, don't worry, I know it all. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng exhaled softly, touched her head, and said, "Well, fortunately, the result is not too bad." This time, Dad came back to help you make arrangements, and you went to the county seat to live by yourself. It's far away from here, you can live as much as you want, there are many people in the village, and those who are doing better are red-eyed. In the future, when Xiao Wu goes to work, you can rest assured that you don't do anything at home. It doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, Dad will take you directly to the capital, and you will leave in two years at most. Dad will also be very busy in the past two years, and when you return to Beijing, our family will be relatively free.

The hukou will also be moved back to the county seat for you this time. It doesn't matter when you want to move back to Kyoto. Your mother and I are both in the capital, and you still have a yard there, I inquired, no problem.

This time, Dad arranged it for you. You can take care of your body at home with peace of mind, but you can't be so careless. I'll buy you a clean spot that is not too big, shopping is convenient, and it is best to have a doorman for security, and then I will make room for you to use as a study. You can read a book inside, embroider inside, and get you an interior and exterior bedroom like this. What do you think? What else would you like to add? Tell Dad about it. Zhou Xiaozheng looked at her after speaking, and waited for her to make a request.

Zhou Jiao nodded happily and said, "Dad, do you still have money?" It doesn't have to be so good, just a transition period. You are short of money and tell me. And I also have money, my mother gave me six years of rent, I still have your money, the money given by the army, plus Xiao Wu's private money, I am not short of money. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded thoughtfully, lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't your grandma ask your mother to bring you money?" Is it the rent and your mother secretly gave you? Oh, then you don't know about your mother. After my accident, all the money in our family was in your grandmother's hands, a lot of money. It's a bit strange that I didn't ask your mom to bring it. The deposit receipts given to you are all in the capital, and you can't get them here. Weigh yourself in your heart, don't be stupid enough to tell your mom anything. Your mother is scheming, very simple. ”

Zhou Jiao knew it as soon as he heard it, and it is estimated that he didn't hand it over to his father when he came back this time. She still overestimated the Lin family, "Dad, do you have any money?" I heard my mom say that my grandma saved it for her. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes darkened, and he smiled at her with an unpredictable expression: "She said to save it." This time, Dad came back to make up for the previous salary, and Dad saved it all for you. Your uncle still gives it to your grandmother. You'll find out when you see the old lady later. People think they are big families. Your aunt is like her. Your mom is very similar to your grandfather. ”

Zhou Jiao squeezed her eyes at his father and said, "I understand." Dad, your mother-in-law and Xiao Wu's mother-in-law are of different nature. ”

"Hehe, ghost girl. Who's out there, come in. “

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Lishan and Zhang Guoqing came in with noodles and two poached eggs on them. Zhou Xiaozheng took the dishes and chopsticks and ate them without restraint, and the speed was very fast.

Lin Lishan said while eating noodles: "Brother Zheng, the little fifth father and mother were originally going to wait for you to have lunch, but I refused." Let them arrange it themselves and have a few more drinks with him in the evening.

Brother Zhang was going to come in, but later said that he would let your father and daughter have a good chat, and talk to you again at night, saying that you are very good at fighting pheasants, and that you can kill pheasants with a slingshot and a stone, and that when you go up the mountain to hunt pheasants together, let you finish your errands, and take your old buddies up the mountain together. So you've known your in-laws for a long time. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng listened and nodded, "Second Brother Zhang is the fiercest in this hunting. His father, the fifth grandfather, heard that when he saw the footprints, he would put a trap on wild things. All three of their brothers can hunt.

In the early years, their father and son took us boys to hunt in the mountains. After a while, the heavy snow will close the mountain, and the village should organize hunting in these days, Xiao Wu, is it just these days?

Zhang Guoqing brought a bowl of white fungus to Zhou Jiao and listened to their conversation, "Dad, you still remember, I will go to the mountains in the next few days." Mom, I'm going out hunting for days. It is held once a year in the village. Sometimes several villages gather together to go up the mountain, which is very solemn. ”

"Then I have a chance to take a look this time, the last time I came, the time was too rushed. Jiaojiao, don't think about going out, you can look at it however you want next year. Lin Lishan saw Zhou Jiao's eyes blinking, so she refused. pretended not to see her pitiful little appearance, and quickly turned his head not to look at it, for fear that he would be soft-hearted.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his daughter's small appearance, and shook his head funny, this kid ......

"Little Wu, are you free today?" Zhou Xiaozheng observed him and found that the child was talking to them, and his eyes were always focused on Jiaojiao and peace. As the father-in-law said, the two have a tacit understanding, and their eyes are full of smiles and tenderness, without a little impatience. Well, not bad, as surveyed.

Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to perfunctory his father-in-law. Don't think he didn't see it, he kept paying attention to his every move, and he was picking on him, this old man was definitely a daughter. stared at him fiercely, and an unsatisfactory estimate was about to take away his daughter and grandson.

"Dad, it's okay today. A few days ago, I took a leave of absence to build a house and even go to work. Tell me anything. Zhang Guoqing said seriously.

Zhou Xiaozheng finished eating noodles in two bites, took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped his mouth, "Okay, come out to do things with me in the past few days." Shanshan, you will take care of your daughter, and when my affairs are done, I will take you to see the child's grandmother and the county seat. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded, and immediately took out his clothes and pants and went out. He can be considered to understand that his father-in-law is an urgent son, and he is probably in a hurry to go out.

Lin Lishan watched Zhang Guoqing leave, and glanced at her husband, "You can take it easy, this child is good, don't stare at the ground." This is a son-in-law, not a soldier under you. ”

"I know, I'm always going to take care of this kid, so I picked up a bargain. My daughter is not something anyone can marry, but unfortunately she came back late. Zhou Xiaozheng sighed in a low voice full of regret.

Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter laughed out loud, afraid that he would be embarrassed, so they held back their laughter.

Zhou Jiao's heart is warm, her father puts her in his heart, and thinks that his daughter is the best in the world, so he is afraid that she will be wronged a little. But she didn't worry about Xiao Wutong's test of his father, outsiders didn't know about the two of them, but when she saw her marry him, no one understood that they had gone through two lives.
