Approaching the end of the year, as the juniors from all over the country returned to Beijing for the New Year, Zhang Guoqing became more and more busy. As soon as the working hours pass every day, the Zhou family is indispensable for friends to come to the door.

Many of the activities are either going out to socialize, or teaming up to watch movies, ice skating, and occasionally a friendly match.

At the beginning, Zhou Jiao also accompanied him to the party. After a long time, she became impatient. Idle nonsense all day long, either the boys drink and brag, or the girls compete like butterflies.

- How can a good girl with such positive energy as she fall.

When Zhou Jiao wanted to do something practical, she found that she was really useless. The father was busy going out early and returning late, the mother led the team to rehearse the Spring Festival program, and the son rushed to the nursery in the morning.

The family's clothes have just passed the winter, and Zhou Jiao has already prepared them. In the past, there were markets to visit, but now there is a shortage of supplies wherever you go.

The compound is still good, and the daily necessities are still supplied by the army farms and breeding farms, which can barely be supported. The outside world is not very objective.

One of her female classmates invited a few of their girls to her home. In the afternoon, Zhou Jiao listened to many people in the same yard talking about what they couldn't buy, and what things were lined up from late at night to how many taels they could buy the next afternoon.

What especially embarrassed Zhou Jiao was that when it was approaching the evening, the face of the female classmate's mother when she came back from the unit and saw three or five of her people, it was called a complicated - fortunately, everyone didn't plan to eat at someone else's house.

Therefore, during this time, Zhou Jiao was reluctant to answer the phone installed at home first, for fear that someone would suddenly invite her out. She wasn't used to bringing food stamps to her door, and she still ate cornmeal that stuck her neck.

It was also this time that the female classmates chatted, and she learned that many classmates thought that the bus fare was expensive, so they stayed at school and found a lot of work to make money to supplement their families.

As a result, Zhou Jiao didn't dare to invite people to her home as guests, and naturally she was embarrassed to accompany them around as guests. Sometimes the gap between each other is too big, and it is easy to be estranged.

It was too boring, and it happened that Aunt Chen's family asked her to say that there was something wrong and asked her if she could take a day or two off. Before Aunt Chen could speak, Zhou Jiao immediately made a decision to let her go back.

Aunt Chen was moved to tears, which made Zhou Jiao's heart weak for a while. It's a beautiful misunderstanding, without Aunt Chen at home, she can give free rein to her cooking skills, okay?

Aunt Chen happily left with a bag of rations, and Zhou Jiao also happily began to stew supplements and prepare a big meal to welcome the family to dinner.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Jiao tossed vigorously, and there was a lot of food in the warehouse. If it weren't for the fear that Aunt Chen would find out something was wrong in two days, she really wanted to stuff the entire warehouse.

When Mrs. Cheng came to knock on the door, she was a little surprised to see Zhou Jiao who opened the door.

"You can't be a boy doing menial work, are you? Aunt Chen, how did you do it? ”

Zhou Jiao looked at the old clothes on her body and smiled, "Auntie, I didn't say anything, just cooked." Aunt Chen had an urgent matter at home, so I asked her to go back first. Come in and try my handiwork. ”

The old lady patted her head angrily, "Silly girl, you can change this tattered clothes for cooking." Who are you fooling, go in and rest. ”

After saying that, the old lady pushed her into the living room in distress.

"Grandma, I really didn't do heavy work. I wrapped some dumplings and sticky bean buns. If this is in the Northeast, it should be almost ready for the New Year, and I don't know if the village has eaten pig-killing dishes. ”

Mrs. Cheng couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. Don't think that if she is a southerner, she doesn't know what a pig-killing dish is, isn't it pork offal with sauerkraut, at most adding blood sausage and meat bones. Is it worth the rarity of this child?

"Don't you don't eat offal? Tonight, we will cook our own pig-killing dishes, and I will ask my aunt to bring meat over, and she will cook a pig-killing dish to make you enjoy it once. ”

Zhou Jiao didn't want the old lady to talk on the phone. Today's telephone is not a direct dial in later generations, and it has to be connected by a bus operator to get through Cheng's phone. In that case, what secrets are there to tell.

"Hehe, I didn't want to eat pig-killing dishes. Such a cold day is the best time to hit the pot and brush the mutton. Don't go back tonight, I'll let my aunt and cousin come over later. Let's cook wine around the stove tonight! ”

Old Lady Cheng smiled and nodded. If the child wants to be lively, then the two families get together. I just happened to send some of the fine grain I had just received later.

Compared with the supply of her nephew's family, the old lady has confidence. Her wife, eldest son, and the three of them have a lot of fine food every month. How can her nephew compare with her own family.

Zhou Jiao didn't have to think about it to know what the old lady was paying attention to. Every time we send fine grains over, we Jiaojiao want to take care of our body and bones, and we are still young. She's hard to speak!

She really doesn't lack food, but what about the old man's heart? Every time I listened to her father's words, I took it first, and sent it back in the middle of the month. This game made the two families play a lot, and it was really tiring.

Mrs. Cheng had never entered the Zhou family's treasury. This time, Zhou Jiao pulled her in, which made the old lady a little surprised for a while, and then reasoned and laid out the facts, so that Zhou Jiao must not go to the black market.

Why can't you go on the black market? The old lady said that people like them can't make mistakes knowingly, and they must put an end to bad practices.

Zhou Jiao feels so wronged, more wronged than Dou E, is there any? She stood up straight, listened carefully, and finally exhaled secretly after the old lady turned over the ideological education.

Looking at the old lady's back, she secretly patted her heart, but fortunately the old lady didn't let her hand over her father.

It's a pity that Zhou Jiao didn't see Mrs. Cheng's sly smile. People are old and fine, and she finally caught the fault of this child, how can she have a good time.

As for the black market, who can stop it? Since ancient times, which dynasty and which generation can put an end to it. She didn't have time to worry about all this. If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. After she retired, she didn't care much about the world.

The old lady only needs the younger generations in the family to be well fed and clothed. To be patriotic is to tighten your belt, that's nonsense. I don't have the energy to study and go to work, how to contribute - that's not a joke.

After looking at the warehouse, Mrs. Cheng was satisfied. Now she doesn't have to worry about her nephew's family having a hard time at the end of the year. I ran to call my aunt at home and asked her to bring her things to the house last week.

After that, I called the boss Cheng Sijin again. On the phone, she didn't say much, just asked her eldest son to come to Zhou's house first after work tonight.

Cheng Sijin understood in seconds, hung up the phone happily, and smiled with a smile on his face, letting the staff officers on the side secretly wonder if there was a big happy event in the chief's family. From the large and small members of the Cheng family began to be excluded, a staff officer shook his head regretfully. It seems that his skills are too shallow, and he can't guess what his boss thinks.

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Guoqing picked up his son, and the father and son stood at the door of Zhou Xiaozheng's unit, waiting for him to get off work.

When Zhou Xiaozheng went out, he heard his son-in-law and the guards chatting from a distance, and even Xiao Ping'an was giggling. Although I don't know what interesting topics to talk about, I can see my subordinates laughing together around the door. What interesting facts should be talked about.

Unfortunately, before he stepped forward, those people scattered like ghosts. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at the remaining few people with a straight face, it was really boring!

As soon as Ping An saw him appear, he immediately rushed forward, "Grandpa, go home." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng picked up the child, "Is it cold?" Let your dad go to grandpa's office next time, right? ”

"Dad said he couldn't disturb Grandpa at work. I'm so good, my grandfather and uncles all praise me..."

Zhang Guoqing saw their grandparents and grandchildren leaving, said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and muttered and gossiped with the guard Xiao Wang and a few others while walking behind.

As soon as the group arrived at the door of the house, they smelled the fragrance, and the hungry Xiao Wang and the others who had just gotten off work were screaming in their stomachs. Before Xiao Wang and them left, Zhou Xiaozheng had already sent a message to let them stay.

As his entourage, no one can make it easy. Compared with the guards of other leaders, Xiao Wang and the others were often pulled on by Zhou Xiaozheng for special training. If they rely on the little supply in the canteen, how can they stand it?

was able to be picked by Zhou Xiaozheng, and sent Xiao Wang next to him to be excited for several days. That's the king of soldiers, their idol! They also understand that their own chief is tossing himself so much for their sake. Therefore, he also actively cooperated, and vowed to become the most outstanding elite around the king of soldiers.

But boys, you are so naïve. Zhou Xiaozheng never does a loss-making business! He trained his cronies in this way, and he had already secretly planned that the time was ripe for them to go to military academies to focus on training.

Not to mention the career territory planned by Zhou Xiaozheng. At this time, Zhou Jiao and Mrs. Cheng heard the voice, and brought out three copper furnaces one after another.

Xiao Wang and a few people desperately glanced at Zhang Guoqing. They were not willing to eat and drink in the parlor with these chiefs, and that would not restrain the dead.

They are used to playing with Zhang Guoqing in this house, and they are very familiar with it. Usually everyone likes to look for him for anything, and they find one accurately.

Sure enough, Zhang Guoqing shook his head and smiled, picked up one of the copper stoves, and beckoned them to come forward to help, and a few young men ran to the west wing room happily.

When the Cheng family came over, the bone broth water in the copper stove was already bubbling loudly. I didn't have time to say a few more words, so I ran to wash my hands and serve the table.

Zhang Guoqing was worried that a few people in the West Wing would not have enough to eat, so he deliberately mentioned a leg of mutton to make them not have enough to cut themselves. He has been in contact with these people a lot, and he understands that sometimes being casual can make each other feel comfortable.

He is not a son, so there is no need to put on a score. His enthusiasm for righteousness is a good impression he gives people, and having a hunting ability is his advantage. Can he still make these future helpers feel stingy?

If you really want to cook wine around the stove, some Chinese cabbage, white radish, and game are definitely not enough. Men like big pieces of meat, but Zhou Jiao doesn't like it. The spinach and leeks she carefully served in the kitchen were squandered by a dinner, and she tried her best to stuff the vegetables in distress.

Zhou Xiaozheng, who knew her thoughts, smiled. also said that Ping An Xiaozi doesn't know who to follow, but he is just with his family.

My daughter even has tiger meat, so she doesn't lack anything. But this little character is really fun. Zhou Xiao is exactly how to see how his daughter is pleasing to the eye, while helping to pick up vegetables, he is secretly proud.

All of a sudden, there was another interesting scene that often happened at the table's Zhou family - Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter each served vegetables to each other, Zhang Guoqing and Lin Lishan each served vegetables to each other, and the four of them were safely enjoying feeding in the middle.

Every time the Cheng family eats with their family, they have seen a lot of similar things, and they are no longer surprised. In the same way, they were also assimilated, and they didn't see that their respective husbands and wives, brothers and sisters also served each other's dishes.

So, sometimes the environment can affect people. At least Liu Ting, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, often goes home to chatter, and every time she goes to Zhou's house for dinner, she will accidentally eat, and the atmosphere is too warm. Of course, the high hanging corners of her mouth also show that she herself also enjoys the love of her husband and children.
