Zhang Guoqiang carried his things to the door of Xiao Wu's room, and heard the laughter of his mother and his daughter-in-law inside from a distance, and he was overjoyed and shouted: "Mother, we are all back." ”

"Ouch, where's Xiao Wu? Why is there so much cloth? When Zhang's mother heard the voice of her second son, she hurriedly came out and was startled to see such a cloth.

Zhang Guoqiang secretly snickered, there is more to this, and he will faint after a while, "There are still some of them who will move in later, and they are all made of curtain fabrics and bed sheets." With that, he put down the cloth and turned to go out.

Zhou Jiao stepped forward to look around the homespun cloth, and saw her mother coming in first, "Mom, where is my dad?" ”

"In the back, here it is. Eldest sister, it just so happens that you are all here, but you have to help, these cloths should be made of four curtain cloths, and bed sheets and quilts. Cuilan, you will help me cut the cloth, and Chrysanthemum, you are skillful to help me sew directly. You'll have to go to bed late at night, and I'll use it tomorrow. ”

Mother Zhang shook her head and said, "It's okay, just cut it and sew it directly, it's very fast." We put it on the kang, you are against the size, pull the cloth, and the three of us cut the cloth, just sewing the chrysanthemum. Big girl, will you sew this bedspread? Otherwise, you bring the quilt back and I'll sew it up." ”

Zhou Jiao was anxious for her mother when she saw it on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward and gestured with her hand, "Mother, you see that the three sides are sewn to death, stuffed into the quilt, and the remaining side will be sewn back when you turn around." It's also easy for me to change the quilt. ”

Mother Zhang said to Lin Lishan happily after hearing this: "You see that we are still delicate and smart, so we don't use a few people to sew quilts." Big sister, it's much faster, this checkered set is no worse than the red satin. ”

The silk that Zhang's mother said is a large piece of satin quilt added to the wedding quilt, there are various patterns, there are rich and glorious peony flowers, there are hundreds of birds and phoenixes, and the conditions are good and the children will try their best to buy it when they get married, and do a good job of putting it on the first layer on the day of the girl's wedding, but it is twice the face.

Zhou Jiao saw Zhou Xiaozheng coming in, and hurriedly ran over, "Dad, you're back, drink saliva first and sit down to rest." After saying that, he ran inside and brought out the water and handed it to him.

Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly put down his things, stepped forward to take the cup, and complained: "Why are you still hairy, what should I do if this boiling water is scalding?" After speaking, he ignored others with a smile, and pulled Zhou Jiao into the inner room.

When he got inside, Zhou Xiaozheng whispered: "Don't go out, just keep them busy, be careful when you touch you, you just play with your son." ”

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth, looked outside secretly, and whispered: "Dad, your daughter is smart, she won't be tired." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his daughter's naughty appearance and laughed happily, "Dad knows that our Jiaojiao is the smartest, but many people praise you in the county, and Dad is proud in his heart." Dad told you something, the old man Liu who sold our yard wants to make friends with us, let you and Xiao Wu often go to his house, I intentionally mentioned that Xiao Wu worships him as a teacher, he refused, saying that he will persuade Xiao Wu not to apprentice in the future, do not gang up, and also send this "Zizhi Tongjian", this is the dark room and dark grid he painted, you take it, according to him, only their old couple knows. ”

Zhou Jiao listened and looked at her father suspiciously, "Dad, it can't be that he deliberately sold the house to us at a low price, right?" Not really. He would rather sell it than keep it for his son, how many grandsons are there under the two sons? This is not worried about the son, he wants to be good friends with us, and the old couple will leave in the future, and there will be a foil. It's messy, and even the housework is not good for my son. How can a husband sweep the world if he doesn't sweep a house? With this ability to do things, no matter how unpredictable things are like gods, there is no play. What's more, the two concepts of sending charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are two. If he showed up two years ago and gave this book, I would have admired, but now it's too late, what's the use of not being able to help? Dad, don't blame me for being snobbish, I understand human nature too well, and you are the only one I can trust in this world, who doesn't have a small calculation in his heart, depending on how he wants to tolerate it. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded when he heard this, and said in a suppressed voice: "There is one more thing, Dad will tell you, I have twelve brothers, the dead are dead, and the ones are gone, and the remaining five brothers are in the provincial capital, they are all headed by Dad, among them is Zhao Chuanguang, Xiao Wu has seen it today, he is something you can trust, and you can find him if you have something to do after Dad goes back." Aren't you surprised that since you are a brother that your father can trust, why didn't he come to see you? ”

Zhou Jiao nodded, "After a long time, I am afraid that the brotherly relationship will be worn out by rights and interests." Since Dad said he can trust it, I believe you. As for not coming to see me, I can't think of it, maybe the feelings are not in place, and your brotherhood can't involve the next generation. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "Other people don't have conflicts of interest, but Zhao Chuanguang won't, in the past 17 years, he burned a sack of paper money to his father every year, and went to the capital to inquire about your news, mistaking your eldest cousin for you, he has a great opinion of the Lin family, and today I don't believe it when I know that you are not in the capital." He didn't say anything else, but he could hear that as long as he went to the capital, he would see your eldest cousin, and he had never stepped on the door of the Lin family. And your mother doesn't know all this. Jiaojiao, Dad is not happy, the Lin family, hehe, the Lin family...."

"Dad, it's the hardest thing to repay personal debts, isn't that good? You don't have to feel unhappy about me, so why bother with irrelevant people. Besides, I guess you also know the matter of the Lin family, so it's hard to say. ”

After Zhou Jiao finished speaking, she saw her father motioning her and continued, "First of all, grandma wants to transfer her eldest cousin back to the capital, and secondly, the family is estimated to have no money, and even embezzled our family." I didn't tell my mom that she might have run out of money. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head with a smile and said softly, "Do you complain about your mother in your heart?" ”

Zhou Jiao looked at her father funny, "I complained before, but then I didn't feel it, there is no difference between having a mother and not having a mother." When I saw her, I didn't dare to complain, but her tears were falling down, and she dared to complain? After saying that, he smiled.

After a while, Zhou Jiao sighed and said seriously: "Many people don't say it, and I understand what they mean." They thought I accepted my mom very suddenly, even if it was good to cry and play for a while, but my temperament couldn't do that. In my eyes, it is enough for my mother to be loyal to my father for 17 years without marrying, which is what I value her the most. Besides, if she gave birth to me, these two points alone are enough to make me protect her and respect her. , As for not coming to see me, she will be a little mindful if she hasn't seen the details, and when I see her hugging me and crying, tears run down my neck, I don't think I will complain, everyone has their own difficulties, why worry too much, as long as my mother is still waiting for you to come back, everything doesn't matter. ”

"A good daughter, worthy of being Dad's daughter, thinks the same as Dad. Jiaojiao, how about Dad take you to the county seat for a few days? Zhou Xiaozheng praised happily.

Zhou Jiao's eyes widened happily, "Really? That's great. Dad, when do you think you're leaving? I'll pack my things ahead of time, and I'll stay longer than I do. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw his daughter so happy, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll go and tell your father-in-law, I'll take you to live in the city for a few days, and no one will dare to bully you in the future." He'll agree, and you don't know. Dad went to the provincial capital today to borrow a car just to pick you up and take you to the city, how about it? Dad is amazing, right? ”

Zhou Jiao looked at her father's appearance begging for praise, smiled and nodded, and stretched out her thumb to compare with him. Her dad was more thoughtful than she thought, and she was happy.

Zhou Xiaozheng said to her with a smile on his face: "Dad will find a way to prepare fine grain for you before going back, don't worry about not having enough money." Today we have asked two mothers and daughters to clean the main house, specially went to the provincial capital to buy disinfectant water, and tomorrow they will come to clean the kitchen and yard. Mr. Liu, I asked people to put all the things they used in the warehouse, and they gave them to you when I came back, all of them were good. I'm worried that if you use someone else's stuff, you'll buy all the new ones. The quilts were all 8 pounds, and I bought three beds, and I also bought the mattress. Your Uncle Zhao Chuanguang also gave a large number of military quilts and military supplies, I think it is too narrow, so I put it in the closet and wait for you to dispose of it yourself. Your mother has seen too much and given some Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law. I heard that her daughter Zhao Yuanyuan didn't have a thick quilt. Coal, your Uncle Guang gave a lot of tickets, so I first bought 300 catties of briquettes, 100 catties of coal, and 50 catties of rice. By the way, your mother went to the Friendship Mall and bought a lot of cloth to make curtain cloth and bedspreads, and later saw that the homespun cloth was cheap, so she left those cloths and put them all in the county seat. You throw away those old clothes, think about what clothes you like, and draw a picture of what your mother is going to make clothes for you with Cheng Hongli tomorrow. You listen to Dad's skirt and make more, our family Jiaojiao looks good in skirts. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile and said happily: "Okay, I also like skirts." When it's summer, I'm going to make a long skirt and embroider dark lines on it, it must look good, it's understated luxury, it's my favorite style. Dad, when I get fat, I must look good, hehe, I follow your big eyes, do you look at the eyebrows? It also looks handsome, and I like my eyes and eyebrows the most. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed, looked at her little face, "And dimples are also with Dad, girls have dimples and cute, Dad hated himself the most at that time, and he didn't seem mature enough, so he deliberately kept a straight face." This dimple looks good on my delicate face, and it is very suitable. Don't wait to get fat, now we Jiaojiao are also very beautiful, in Dad's eyes, no one is as beautiful as my Jiaojiao. ”

"Well, I also think my dad is no one else, my dad is the most handsome and attractive." After speaking, Zhou Jiao stepped forward and took her father's arm and raised her head.

Lin Lishan heard the laughter and came in to listen, "Hehe, yes, you two father and daughter are the best-looking." Look really like, Jiaojiao, what do you want to wear, tomorrow your dad and I will go to the city to help you make a few pairs of cargo pants first? ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Okay, Mom, my pants should be darker to match the clothes." I want to make a shirt and look good with a sweater when it's warm. In the summer, I'm going to make many, many dresses, long dresses. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and watched their mother and daughter discussing the style, and his baby daughter was coquettish in front of them, and he was extremely satisfied. Lin Lishan patted Zhou Jiao with a smile, "Don't have any opinions, besides, Mom will make a flower cotton jacket for you to wear, you are only a little girl, bright and beautiful." After saying that, he ignored them and ran outside to help.
