The car came back from the provincial capital all the way to Zhangjia Village, and night had fallen, and there were still sporadic lights in the village.

Zhang Guoqing's mother and son got out of the car, and Zhang Guoqing moved his things and went in with his mother. His father was already in a hurry, and when he saw them, he ran out very rarely, and let them move all of them to their room in the main landlord's wing, except for the books and tapes, and let them clean up after themselves.

Zhang Guoqing didn't have time to say a few words to his parents, carried a few piles of old books and tapes in the small living room, and quickly ran back to move the things down, parked the car, and finally waited for his father, accompanied by the last bag, before quickly carrying back the last books and running back to the room.

I didn't care about packing up and sorting out the books, piled them up directly in the small living room, and entered the room with a bag of tapes, and as soon as I entered, I saw Zhou Jiao leaning there waiting for him to come in, and when I saw him, I immediately smiled on his face.

"Jiaojiao, what did you eat at night? Isn't it in a hurry? ”

"Brother, have you eaten? Did my mom get a sleeper? Have you returned to the capital? ”

The two of them finished speaking in unison and laughed.

Zhang Guoqing looked at his son who was still awake and didn't sleep, "Why didn't Ping An sleep, baby, your father is back." Wife, I bought a lot of tapes, you won't be bored in the future. There are songs, storytelling, and plays, all in the bag, I'll put them next to me first, and you'll see them later. Son, Daddy is playing a song for you. ”

Zhang Guoqing put down the tape, lowered his voice, kissed Zhou Jiao, and hugged him in his arms, "What did you eat at night?" Are they impatient? Did you say anything sour? You haven't been wronged, have you? ”

Zhou Jiao twisted her body and leaned comfortably on him, "No, my sister-in-law brought it over, it was noodles at noon, and I put chicken soup and chicken legs on the stove." In the evening, it was also the rice brought by the sister-in-law, or the chicken thighs and chicken soup in the stove. You smell it and see if it's all chicken soup and the smell. ”

Zhang Guoqing put his chin against her head and sniffed hard, "There is no smell on the body, it is quite fragrant." The room smelled of chicken soup and smelled of meat. Jiaojiao, I want to eat meat. He said with a pun, smash it, smash it, smash it.

Zhou Jiao laughed out loud, laughing so much in his arms that Zhang Guoqing was also funny when he saw it, he directly spared her itching, deliberately made it bad, and made her laugh at him.

Finally stopped, Zhou Jiao stopped laughing, "There happens to be a lot of meat at home these days, you eat hard." Hehe, brother, you go to eat first, and come back early to talk to me when you are done. ”

"Okay, I'll come back when I've eaten, and the nine horses won't be able to pull it back. I'll boil some white fungus and red date soup in the stove for you as a supper, I'm afraid you're tired of the old hen soup every day these days, I'll change the taste for you tomorrow, let's eat something else. This time there is a stove, so you don't have to avoid them, at most you will burn some and leave some bowls for them. ”

Zhang Guoqing let go of her, went to the box to find white fungus, red dates, and sugar cubes, washed them and put them in a small pot, rested them on the briquettes, closed the small gate of the briquette stove, and slowly stewed.

"How are you eating those ejiao? If you can still accept it, you can continue to eat, your mother can't stew like that, I think it is better to find a doctor to make ejiao paste, as before, put some walnuts, red dates and honey to boil into a paste. In this way, you can also eat it slowly as a nutritional product after confinement. ”

"You don't need to find someone, I learned from my grandmother, my own configuration is better than others, you find some black sesame seeds for me, you see my hair is yellow, ugly and dead, I have all the other ingredients."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her in disbelief.

Zhou Jiao gave him a roll of his eyes, "What kind of eyes are you, I really know how to heal, a descendant of imperial doctors, specializing in symptomatic gynecology and pediatrics." You have to give me faith. This time, I will boil less for you. ”

"I don't believe you're ugly, in my eyes, you're the most beautiful, and your smile is very seductive. Wife, really. Look in my eyes, do you see sincerity? Why don't you let Dr. Zhou boil one or two bottles for you first, and then boil it when you are ready for confinement. ”

Zhou Jiao shook her head, raised her chin, squinted her eyes, and said arrogantly: "Don't be so troublesome, I've been 7-8 days, and I can get out of bed." I boil it myself, and I know the taste with some rock sugar, it's too sweet and not delicious. ”

Zhang Guoqing loved her little one, hugged her and took a bite, "Okay, listen to you, wait for me to find some black sesame seeds, you command me to do it." ”

"Then you go to dinner first, you're all cleaned up here." After speaking, Zhou Jiao waved his hand disgustedly and asked him to go to dinner first, and if he continued, his mother would shout.

Zhang Guoqing arrived at the hall house, just as his mother set up the meal, dinner was really sweet potato rice, the braised hairtail fish and chili fried chicken nuggets left over at noon, plus the pig's head meat and cabbage soup at home.

Zhang Guoqing looked at his father sitting next to him, "Oh, there are a lot of meat dishes, Dad, you can also accompany us to eat some, if you are not hungry, drink some wine." As soon as the voice fell.

His father immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drink some wine to accompany your mother." When you see a good dish, you want to drink. ”

Mother Zhang handed him the empty seat on the table, and asked Xizi in the hall to get a pair of chopsticks for his grandfather, so he looked at Father Zhang angrily. This old guy is just hungry for wine, thinking that she didn't see him and waited for Xiao Wu to invite him, otherwise he would have stopped sitting at the table and went back to the kang to smoke.

Dad Zhang asked Zhang Guoqing, "Why did you come back so late, isn't it the train at 10 o'clock?" I saw that it was dark when you came back, and I thought you two had lost it, and I was just looking for someone to find you. After saying that, he laughed out loud.

Zhang's mother swallowed the food in her mouth, stopped her chopsticks, and said to him, "We will lose it, joke." Today I took a good look at the big city. Xiao Wu took me to the friendship mall that foreigners bought, to the department store, to the park. I was going to come back later, Xiao Wu took me to the cinema, oops, my mother, it's all young men and little girls, I desperately dragged Xiao Wu back, otherwise I would have died of dryness. How can an old woman go to the cinema to watch a movie. Later, Xiao Wu still took me to ask for directions and bought a lot of that tape. Little Five, is that what that thing is called? yes, I'm just smart enough to remember it. His father, that cassette can listen to plays, storytelling, and songs. Xiao Wu said that when he put it in the radio in his room, it sang the same as a real person. I'll hear it back to you. Rare, right? You didn't go, it's more lively than the market. ”

"It's quite lively, it's not lively, you two won't come back until it's dark. A few of them said that they would wait for you to come back for dinner, and I directly said that they would eat first. I don't know if you two are already eating in the city. Daddy Zhang smiled and nodded.

Mother Zhang hurriedly took a few bites of rice, and then said: "It's true that Xiao Wu said that he would come back from dinner, but I didn't agree." The lunch meal was eaten in a big restaurant, and this leftover was, he ordered too much, and we couldn't eat it and bring it back. I don't eat there at night, I just want to go home quickly, no matter how good the big city is, it's still not as comfortable as my home. ”

Father Zhang agrees with her words, the gold house and the silver house are not as good as his thatched house. Not to mention the yard of the three brothers, but his father scrapped the boss's painstaking efforts to rebuild. Even the people in the provincial city may not be as comfortable as his family.

"Did you two personally send your in-laws on the train and arrange all the luggage? Did you notify the Lin family to pick her up at the station? If you don't pick it up, it is estimated that your mother-in-law will not be able to carry five big bags. And the kid,, you saw the train, right? How, isn't it just that a lot of cars are connected together, nothing is rare. ”

Zhang's mother laughed out loud, hurriedly covered her mouth, swallowed the food, and said anxiously: "Why are so many cars connected, that's a train." It's different from the big car, there is a lot of it inside, I deliberately looked at a lot of people who don't have a place, sitting on the ground, his father, you said that this is good to be an official, you don't have to queue up, you can buy that sleeper directly, it's a small bed. I saw that there were empty seats in the sleeper, but the people at the back could not go in, so they could only sit on the ground in the back. What do you mean? After sighing, Zhang's mother hurried to eat.

"It's good to be an official, otherwise so many people want to be an official, and your mother's Xiucai Gong is not worried about it until he dies. You haven't told me yet, your in-laws sent you to the car and notified you to pick up someone? ”

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly replied to him: "I sent a telegram to the past, and it was clear that it was a person with 500 pounds of things, and asked him to pick up people at the station at 5:00 pm on the 23rd the day after tomorrow." I found the station master, and he arranged for the conductor of this train to be the leader, and helped him get into the car in advance, and I also told the conductor to take care of my mother-in-law, and also sent two hares to the man to eat on the way. It's good, it's all arranged. You can rest assured. ”

"Okay, just arrange it. Damn, you've eaten, pack up the bunch of things in the house early, and I'll rest early in the evening. The foundation has been dug today, do you have anything to do tomorrow Xiaowu? If you have nothing to do, go over early to help. Otherwise, your uncle and uncle's family will come to help you build a house, but you don't look good when you don't see anyone. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded at his father, "Get up early tomorrow morning and work for half a day." After I had dinner at noon, I drove to the provincial capital to return the car, and when I came back, I had to go to the principal of the county school, and I came back a little late. Then I didn't go out for a while, and nothing else. ”

Dad Zhang didn't pour it again after drinking, put down the chopsticks, "You can watch it yourself, get busy with business first, don't go over there to help when you have time, but also go and have a good talk with them." When Jiaojiao Yuezi comes out, let your mother take her and give your aunt and their women a good talk. By the way, the day after tomorrow, your eldest sister warms the house. , you can arrange it, it doesn't have to be too good, there are many people in the village, and there are many people. ”

"Dad, I know, when I have free time, I will contact them and have a lot of contact. Mother, eldest sister, tell me what you lack. ”

"No, I bought quite a few today, and they're all ready. Don't help me clean up, I got up at 4:00 this morning, I didn't sleep at noon, I'm going to be busy again tomorrow morning, go back to my room early to sleep. After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she quickly took the dishes and chopsticks. She didn't even call her daughter-in-law, she just picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Dad Zhang waved his hand and asked him to go back early. Yesterday, I beat two wild boars and was busy until midnight, and I cleaned up the backyard early in the morning, and went up the mountain to collect firewood. That is, young, otherwise it would have been lying down a long time ago.
