When the group came to the small courtyard of the Lin family, a large table had been placed in the living room, and wine and food were also placed on it. Except for them, all the people who should have come gathered in the living room.

Mrs. Lin saw Zhou Jiao who was surrounded in the middle from a distance, and waited for Zhou Jiao to take off her hat, revealing a face like Gu Mingzhu with that familiar smile on her face. She immediately lowered her head and closed her eyes and opened them again, and when she saw that Zhou Jiao had already taken off her coat, she walked slowly towards her, and her heart trembled.

This kind of Zhou Jiao reminded her of the last time she saw Gu Mingzhu. That day, Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Jinyu came to her house, smiling and smiling. And then?

Later, the two disappeared, and then the patriarch's family had accidents one after another.

She calmed down, looked at Zhou Jiao's eyes, looked at Zhou Jiao who was walking slowly, stepped forward with a smile and took Zhou Jiao's hand, and boasted: "This is our Jiaojiao?" It's so beautiful, give it to grandma. No wonder your grandfather talks about you all day long. Why didn't you bring the children here? ”

"It was too cold, and my aunt helped with the children. Grandma is okay? I just wanted to ask my grandfather to take us to visit you in the evening. ”

Mrs. Lin patted her hand and said with a smile: "Grandma is very good, it's all old problems, it's not a big deal." This is our grandson-in-law, right? Show grandma, she looks so good, and our family Jiaojiao is really a match made in heaven. Parents at home, okay? When the weather warms up, let them come to the house. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Old Man Lin said with a smile: "the child, let's eat first, and talk while eating." Jiaojiao sits next to your grandmother, and Xiao Wu accompanies us to drink. ”

Mrs. Lin took Zhou Jiao's hand and walked over to the dining table, "Grandma doesn't know what kind of dishes you like." You see if it suits the taste, and let Auntie make what you want to eat. This is your grandmother's house, don't be polite when you are your own home. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded and helped her to sit down, and smiled slightly at Lin Xuelin on the other side. When she saw her eldest aunt and sister sit down, she took her seat.

Chen Jingru saw her own daughter take the lead in taking a seat, then looked at Zhou Jiao opposite, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao is casual, there are no outsiders at home." Tomorrow your cousin doesn't go to work, so let her take you shopping. In two days, my aunt will take you to the temple fair. ”

"Jiaojiao, tomorrow my sister will take you to visit the Friendship Mall. Auntie, remember to prepare tickets for us. Jiaojiao, you have good clothes, you still have such good clothes in that place? Lin Xuelin looked at her suspiciously.

"Thank you, auntie. Cousin, tomorrow I want to go see my grandma and go shopping together another day. I draw my own clothes and let the master make them. Zhou Jiao listened to her tone very calmly, and said with a smile.

"You looked good in that coat yesterday too. In two days, I will accompany my sister to make clothes, and it will be okay to follow the way your clothes look, right? After speaking, seeing Zhou Jiao smiling and shaking her head, Lin Xuelin was overjoyed. She's going to buy fabric tomorrow, and she's going to take her out on the street the day after tomorrow.

While Mrs. Lin was busy letting her two sons-in-law pick up vegetables and stop drinking, she complained that the old man kept letting Zhang Guoqing drink, and drinking too much wine was not good for her health.

Zhou Jiao can be regarded as having seen the old lady's exquisite means. In the face of her father's ignorant attitude, she actually laughed with a spring breeze. This trick is very good, and it's a character!

Looking at the dishes in the bowl in front of her, Zhou Jiao smiled and answered her aunt and cousin's questions.

After the wine was halfway over, the old lady put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "You go on, I'll go back to the room and lie down for a while." If the dishes are not enough, let the aunt add them. ”

Zhou Jiao saw that the main play had begun, she stood up with interest, helped the old lady and said, "I'm full, I'll accompany grandma, you eat slowly." ”

"I'm full, too. I'm with you. Lin Liying's eyes flashed with worry, and she quickly stood up and said.

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this, and then looked at her mother Lin Lishan's confused face, and secretly sighed that this is really the nine sons of the dragon, each of which is different.

Seeing that the ladies were all standing up, Mrs. Lin did not stop them, and asked the men to continue drinking with a smile, and she took them back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Lin listened to her daughter and granddaughter with a smile on her face. After a while, she found that her youngest daughter Lin Liying ignored her eyes at all, and then looked at Zhou Jiao, who was well-behaved and always smiling on her face. She was secretly anxious.

After a while, Chen Jingru, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, finally smelled the smell, made an excuse, and pulled her daughter to leave together.

As soon as Chen Jingru's mother and daughter left, the room was suddenly quiet.

Sister Lin Lishan and Zhou Jiao both looked at Mrs. Lin.

"Xiaoying, you go out first. Your sister and I still have some things to discuss. ”

After Lin Liying left, Mrs. Lin showed helplessness on her face, sighed long, and wanted to stop talking.

After a while, the old lady saw that Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter were still as stable as Mount Tai, and she didn't mean to speak.

She paused, and said with a guilty face: "Jiaojiao, the things your mother prepared for you will be brought back later." The days go by so fast, seventeen years, you were born a little girl, and now you have become a big girl. I've suffered a lot in the past few years, right? Grandma is sorry for you. Didn't take care of your ......."

Zhou Jiao didn't wait for her to finish, and said with a smile: "Grandma, there's nothing to be sorry for." Don't you think I'm good? Let's not talk about the past. ”

Old Mrs. Lin was interrupted, with a smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Okay." Let's not talk about the past. Listen to our coquettishness. ”

After speaking, she stared at Zhou Jiao closely, paused, immediately restrained her smile, and said, "Jiaojiao, your grandmother and grandmother are cousins, you should know about this, right?" You are also the bloodline of our Gu family. Some outsiders don't know about it and may misunderstand. Grandma, I want to talk to you about our Gu family today. ”

Zhou Jiao was always smiling.

Listening to Mrs. Lin's sisterly expression, she and Gu Mingzhu talked about their friendship.

Listen to the old lady's history of the decline of the Gu family's main house.

Listening to the old lady repeatedly lamenting that her old father was powerless.

Listening to the old lady mentioning that the Gu family's population is now withering, she talked to herself and made an appointment with herself to let the Gu family's uncle visit Zhou Xiaozheng.

At this moment, Zhou Jiao felt deeply ridiculous. It turns out that when people have a clear conscience, they can still be so upright and so brazen.

She knew that this would be the old lady testing how much her father and daughter knew about the truth? rejected the Gu family's partial house, could the old lady come to a conclusion? Seeing Gu Changqing, could he let himself put down the knife he raised?

Reversing right and wrong and avoiding primary and secondary issues, this is the old lady's sincerity? There was not a hint of apology, not a word of truth. The few lives of the Gu family's main house can only be repaid in blood!

Zhou Jiao lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "Grandma, our father and daughter are quiet and not good at dealing with people. My dad has always been very sad about my grandmother's early death, so why should he let him see the old man and remember my grandmother? Forget it. There is no need to visit. With you at home, there will be a chance to meet in the future. ”

"You are too young to understand the importance of your clan, and you don't understand that no matter how good others are, they can't compare to your own relatives. Several juniors of the Gu family are in the capital, and grandma wants you to have more contact, and you will help each other in the future. You have only one seedling at home, and you will have to help your brothers and sisters in the future. ”

Zhou Jiao laughed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you may not know my temperament." Ask my mother, I'm most afraid of socializing with people, and I want to be noisy and want to be human. If they all surrounded me, I would have fled. Besides, my parents are now reunited, and I will have younger siblings in the future. ”

Lin Lishan nodded, frowned and said, "Don't talk about Jiaojiao, even I'm annoying." People come and go to be busy socializing, and they are tired to work every day, where does the mood come from to entertain others? Jiaojiao is not afraid of having no brothers and sisters, she also has cousins and sisters. Those who are far away will forget it. Several uncles' juniors love to play and make trouble, and they are not the same kind of people as our petite five. After the first month, she was going back again, so there was no need to deal with them. ”

Zhou Jiao saw the old lady glaring at her mother and secretly smiled. Her mother choked on the old lady with a stroke of God. She had to praise her mother when she got back.

Lin Lishan saw that the old lady was dissatisfied, and said impatiently: "Mom, don't talk about the Gu family." My surname is Lin, and my Jiaojiao's surname is Zhou. Don't worry about their family's affairs. It's okay, let's go out, avoid the sisters-in-law, aren't you afraid that they will think that you want to give Jiaojiao private money? ”

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she slapped her and scolded, "That's my mother's house." You are a dead child, and your six relatives don't recognize you? ”

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao hurriedly sneaked out, the way their mother and daughter got along, she still avoided it. If she was inside, it was estimated that she would cry and force filial piety later.

Before returning to the dinner table, Zhou Jiao said goodbye to everyone on the grounds that she wanted to take care of the children. declined Chen Jingru's send-off and left the Lin family's courtyard. She smiled self-deprecatingly, looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath.
