Chapter 367: An Unexpected Letter
Early the next morning, Zhang Guoqing got up early, cleaned up the backyard, and ran to his own private land.
It stands to reason that their hukou has been moved, and this self-reserved land should be handed over to the village. Zhang Guoqing always thought that his family had no land for himself after the separation. Unexpectedly, Zhang's father divided the entire piece of self-reserved land of the family equally among his three sons, and he had already helped his family turn over the soil and plant it during spring sowing.
Now standing on his own land, looking at the ridges of millet, soybeans and other crops on the ground, he smiled dumbly - what a windfall.
Father Zhang came over and saw that it was the old son who was buried in the ground and worked in the ground in the morning.
He looked up at the sky and said anxiously, "Little Wu, why don't you go to work yet?" Your eldest brother, they thought you were gone. There is a father living in the field, you go quickly. ”
Zhang Guoqing raised his head and smiled: "Dad, I'm on vacation and I'll only go to work tomorrow." ”
"You stupid boy, why didn't I hear you mention it." Father Zhang laughed and scolded a few words, and came to the old son's field to start helping.
Zhang Guoqing didn't say that he had mentioned it, maybe his father didn't pay attention and didn't hear it clearly. He smiled, answering Daddy Zhang's question while keeping his hands busy.
After finishing his own land, Zhang Guoqing and his son went home at this moment, and he noticed that the new houses in a row at the entrance of the village were full of style in Zhangjia Village. He hadn't paid attention until now, and then looked back at the village.
Seeing this, Dad Zhang smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised?" Last month, your second uncle and their warm house were all crying with joy. I see that many people want to build a new house after a while. ”
Zhang Guoqing smiled and changed the topic. After two or three months, it was so easy to build.
In the kitchen, the couple had breakfast and discussed today's arrangements.
Zhang Guoqing drove the three rounds to the unit to say hello to everyone and submit the report.
Passing by the door of his house, he hesitated, but decided to clean up his house first and return to the village later. That way the family can come back and rest.
After finishing his work, Zhang Guoqing stretched his waist, seeing that the time was not early, he was worried that Zhou Jiao would be in a hurry. Quickly locked the gate, and was just about to start the car, he heard the postman shouting his name on a bicycle from a distance.
He waited in place for a while, laughing and chatting with the other party, and after taking the letter, he watched the other party leave.
Zhang Guoqing looked down at the stack of letters in his hand, and found that in addition to the letters from his father-in-law and a few buddies, there were also two more letters unexpectedly.
He didn't have time to figure out why Liu Sanyuan and Lin Xuezhen's family in K Province sent a letter, so he quickly started the car and returned to the village.
As soon as he entered his yard, Zhang Guoqing smelled the smell of buns and meat in the air, smiled and shook his head - his daughter-in-law was desperate. He raised an eyebrow at the sound of conversation in the kitchen.
"I'll just say that your man is back. Then I'll go, and remember to go to the house to play when I have time. After speaking, a middle-aged aunt nodded at Zhang Guoqing and left.
"Is this the daughter-in-law of the second uncle's family?"
Facing Zhang Guoqing's doubts, Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, "Auntie, her mother's family sent her honey yesterday, and she hugged her and said she was safe." ”
Zhang Guoqing nodded, "This family remembers their feelings and feels embarrassed to borrow our yard." I'll send a few buns later. ”
While speaking, I saw Zhou Jiao blatantly accepting a curtain of freshly wrapped buns, Zhang Guoqing was startled, forgot to mention the letter for a while, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard to close the gate.
"Jiaojiao, you can't do this next time. If the other party came back just now, would you have time to change it? And do you see your son's eyes staring at you? ”
Zhou Jiao glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm not stupid." You're not at home, I'm packing a few and collecting a few, steaming a few and collecting a few, and others think I'm slow at most. When my mother comes, I won't do it. ”
Zhang Guoqing touched her head, "It's better to be careful." I'll accompany you in the future, don't mess around. ”
After speaking, I saw her blinking her big eyes and nodding her head obediently, which made him laugh.
"Alright, now put all the dough out. I'll wrap it, you just have to start steaming on two stoves. Before Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, as piles of dough and several plates of stuffing appeared in front of him, he couldn't wait to pat his mouth.
Zhou Jiao laughed when she saw this, and when she saw that he was helpless to wash her hands, she smiled at Ping'an, who was smirking on the side, and said, "Baby, what are you laughing at." You are obedient, my mother will steam a lot of delicious food for you. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at the two mothers, sons, chickens and ducks, and shook his head with a smile.
For the sake of his daughter-in-law's happiness, he fought hard. He can only comfort himself that he is just a bun, and it is not a difficult thing.
The couple is in full swing.
Zhang's mother came back from her mother's house at about two o'clock in the afternoon, went back to the old courtyard to clean up, walked to the old son's house, found that the door was locked, and patted the door.
After a while, when she saw her old son come over to open the door, she smiled and said, "I knew you hadn't left yet." What are you doing with the door locked? ”
As Zhang Guoqing entered the courtyard and smelled the fragrance in the air, Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Steamed buns today?" It's going to have to be closed. Otherwise, someone will come, and don't be embarrassed. ”
Zhang Guoqing listened to his mother's self-talk, and he could only smile and nod.
The couple pulled Zhang's mother to eat steamed buns and chatted about the recent situation of their uncle's house. Zhang's mother asked if her old son had gone to the county seat to see the family?
His mother didn't mention it, he really forgot.
Zhang Guoqing quickly stood up, took off the hanging bag, took out the letter from it, and handed it to Zhou Jiao.
"In addition to the letters from my father and a few buddies in the compound, there are more letters from Liu Sanyuan and the elders of the Lin family. Liu Sanyuan's letter is not strange, but how could Lin Laoqi write to you? ”
Zhang's mother saw that they had something to talk about, so she asked them to go back to the room to see it, and she took her grandson to the village for a walk.
Sending off Zhang's mother, grandchildren and grandson, the couple went back to the room.
After reading a few letters in their hands, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Xiaozheng is still very good in the letter, saying that he works while on vacation, and the only regret is that his baby can't accompany him. Let Zhang Guoqing have a holiday, and bring Jiaojiao and Ping An to the past to cool off.
Lin Lishan still told the two of them not to be afraid of spending money and not to go up the mountain.
A few buddies in the compound all described the leisurely vacation by the sea and the delicious food they tasted, so that their family hurried over.
In Liu Sanyuan's letter, Zhang Guoqing was invited to take time to take his daughter-in-law and son to Province K, and make an appointment to go to the orchard and the fishing village. Two of the three pieces of stationery all talk about food.
The only surprise was Lin Xuezhen.
After Zhang Guoqing asked Zhou Jiao to receive the letter, he said with a smile: "Now there are good scenery everywhere, which really seduces people." We can't go to Dad's side, but we can still find time to go in K Province, and we will go to Uncle Dashan's house to find Aunt Cheng and Zhao Yuanyuan in the evening. ”
Zhou Jiao laughed when she heard this, and gave him a thumbs up approvingly.
Zhang Guoqing saw that she didn't mention Lin Xuezhen, thought about it and said: "My parents didn't mention the Lin family in the letter, and it is estimated that the Lin family has not fulfilled its promise." Lin Xuelin's scourge has not yet gone to the Great Northwest, and it is better that the people of the Lin family still have less contact.
Lin Xuezhen's letter said that she was apologizing, and decided to atone for her parents and go to the south alone. Credible or sent by the capital, who knows if you want to soften your heart.
Let's wait and see what happens! Don't reply to her, but you can mention it in your reply to Dad. ”
Zhou Jiao restrained her smile and nodded.
Zhang Guoqing mentioned the problem, why didn't she notice it?
The Lin family, she really didn't want to have more contact.
Some people still let time prove whether it is true or false.
