Back in the compound, Zhou Jiao didn't bother to pack her luggage. After settling down, she immediately asked Zhang Guoqing to go to Cheng's house to invite their family over for dinner, especially Cheng Ruzhu and his wife.

After seeing him go out, she hurriedly said a few words to Zhou Xiaozheng and came directly to the kitchen.

When Aunt Chen saw her, she couldn't help but smile on her face, "I'll prepare at night, you go and rest." ”

"It's a pity that my aunt didn't go with us this time. Aunt Wang bought a lot of bargains. I don't know what you like, just bought something for you. Auntie, don't dislike it, let's choose it well at night, and I'll give it away if I don't like it. ”

Aunt Chen smiled and complained, "Why are you spending money on this kid?" I have been asked to bring a lot of things back a year ago, and this time I brought things again, and I don't know how to save. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Auntie, don't say kind words. I treat you as a family member, so I won't be polite to you. If I were an outsider, I wouldn't have to hide something for fear of being in the way. ”

Aunt Chen nodded happily after hearing this. In the compound, she is the most idle. The Zhou family has a simple population, is not picky, does not like gossip, and the family gets along very well, especially Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter.

She didn't stay a few days after she went home this time, and she really missed Jiaojiao's craftsmanship. She saw that Xiao Wang and they had all gained weight, and she kept giggling every day. Their assignment to the Zhou family is also a blessing.

"Jiaojiao, in the past few days that you have been away from home, several of your cousins have come over once, and I didn't let them enter your room, saying that they couldn't enter without a key. You remember saying you forgot to give it to me. Aunt Chen looked out and whispered.

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and smiled, and nodded quickly.

Aunt Chen glanced at her and whispered, "Don't be heartless!" People's eyes are on you. Fortunately, the clothes your mother bought for you were just right fitting, otherwise you would have borrowed them and wouldn't have returned them. She couldn't say anything superfluous. It's too much to say that it's going to be sovocal.

Zhou Jiao began to clean up the dishes in her hands, listening to what Aunt Chen said, she laughed happily. She just said, the eyes of the masses are bright.

"By the way, there are a few people looking for Xiao Wu, I will write them all down on paper and put them on the table in your study. It's all the boys in the compound. ”

"It's still a good aunt. I guess they're fine, probably looking for Xiao Wu to play. If they don't come in the evening, they will come tomorrow night. My dad has been home for dinner these days, right? ”

Aunt Chen smiled and shook her head, "He can't eat if he doesn't come back." Your aunt will come over to eat as soon as the meal arrives, and by the way, the dumplings have to be wrapped in more. Two days ago, your cousins and aunts all came over to eat and didn't leave. They also brought two bags of flour. ”

Zhou Jiao couldn't laugh when she heard this, "What kind of stuffing do they like?" Last time I sent it over, my cousin told me not to bother and to eat it again. My aunt and grandmother are not at home, so they must not starve. ”

"Shrimp and lamb are the favorite, and leeks are the most left. Your dad loves sauerkraut and shrimp the most. ”

"Well, leeks have a taste, I guess I'm not used to it. This is my grandfather and my little uncle's favorite flavor. My grandfather hasn't been home these days? ”

Aunt Chen smiled: "Your grandfather and your aunt have been here two or three times, and he now likes to eat shrimp and sauerkraut." Jiaojiao, this is hairy crab and saury? Will you prepare too much for the evening? ”

"It's rare for my little uncle to come here. This time it was all given by my aunt and grandmother friends, and it didn't look good if it wasn't on the table. Zhou Jiao didn't say that she had a lot of her own family, and she was thinking about whether to call the Lin family over at the moment.

She wiped her hands, hid by the door and looked around, and saw her mother holding the child and chatting with her father.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Chen asked curiously.

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay." I see why the guests haven't come here yet. After speaking, I heard several children of the Cheng family already shouting loudly about my sister.

"You go out to accompany the guests, there are only two dishes here, and I will leave the rest." Aunt Chen hurriedly urged her to go out.

Zhou Jiao looked at her watch and found that it was not too early. She began to arrange the dishes and chopsticks and take them out.

"Oh, we're Jiaojiao doing it again? Tell us, what else do you need to do? Liu Ting, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Zhou Jiao was not polite to them, "Cousin, just help bring the food up." Why didn't Xiao Wu come back with you? ”

"He's going to call your grandfather's house." After speaking, she winked at Zhou Jiao. Seeing that she understood, he smiled and walked to the kitchen. Just now, her father-in-law also asked Xiao Wu to go over and call them.

Zhou Jiao thought about it, followed her to the kitchen, and whispered, "How long has it been?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

"Your little uncle just happened to meet us. It seems that they all gathered at their house to discuss the marriage of their eldest granddaughter. Ignore them, they'll come over later. Liu Ting said in an unhappy tone.

When she saw that the Lin family had such a grand marriage for her granddaughter, she remembered that they had let Jiaojiao marry into the Zhang family alone, and she hated it very much. It's as if he's never seen a man in eight lifetimes, and everyone in the compound is known publicly. If their Jiaojiao family gets married later, she has to do it well.

"We don't compare ourselves to them. Getting married and living depends on the love of husband and wife, not dowry. Our little five are a hundred times stronger than those people. ”

Zhou Jiao saw her worried, held her and smiled, "Hmm." I listen to you. I really don't feel wronged, they like to be extravagant, but I'm afraid of trouble. I have my dad now, I have you, who is better than me than my mother's family? However, auntie, you will have to hurt me more in the future. ”

"Silly girl!" Liu Ting patted her hands and sighed with a smile.

Except for Mrs. Lin, who was sick for some reason, the rest of the Lin family all came. Maybe it was too natural for the old lady to get sick, and everyone didn't feel at ease. Everyone in the Lin family was full of smiles and beaming with joy.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly added another table. At this time, she didn't care about greeting the Lin family, nodded and smiled and said hello, and returned to the kitchen to serve food.

Fortunately, what she had just prepared was a large plate, and it was still okay to split it into two tables. After she drove Liu Ting and Cheng Ruzhu to sit outside, she began to cook hot dishes herself.

As the hot dishes were served, she returned to the living room women's table when she was done.

At this time, at the women's table, Lin Liying was talking lively, and she didn't say anything, and quietly came to the side to listen to the gossip.

When Mrs. Cheng saw her, she pulled her to sit beside her, pointed to the dishes in the bowl and told her to eat quickly.

"It's time for this girl to be satisfied. My sister-in-law lost her wife and soldiers this time. The bride price money was all brought back to her, and there were so many things to marry, the Yang family should be crazy. Lin Liying said with a smile.

"72 legs, radio, bike, watch. The compound is unique. Old Lady Cheng whispered to Zhou Jiao with a smile. She was embarrassed to say that the other party's bride price was only about 300 yuan, so much to marry.

Zhou Jiao looked up at her and smiled silently, lowered her head and ate her own food. She smiled sarcastically in her heart, the 30,000 yuan that her mother swallowed by Gu Ruyi was enough for a few of their Lin family to toss back and forth.

Since Uncle Wang returned to Beijing in the Great Northwest. After she learned that the other party entrusted Lin Aidang and his wife to mail the watches and high-end products to her, she looked down on the Lin family even more.

People say that they are extremely vicious, and his Lin family has not yet reached the point of poverty, and he doesn't even want face. It's just a joke to show off. The most ridiculous thing is that they are also good at covering the fire under the quilt, and they can smell it outside, and they comfort themselves that others can't smell it.

Especially at this moment, seeing Lin Aidang at the men's table, he didn't feel guilty at all and talked loudly. What kind of mother raises what kind of son! Blind to a table of good dishes she had worked so hard to prepare.

After the dismissal, Zhou Jiao deliberately left Mrs. Cheng behind. Seeing off the guests, she and the old lady went back to Zhou Xiaozheng's study. Originally, the Lin family was her foreign family, and she didn't plan to let the old lady know. But now that she is going back to the Northeast, those people's faces will definitely be reversed in black and white to clear up the ugly things they have done. She was worried that there were some things that her dad couldn't do, let alone her mom. can only be pinned on the old lady, so that she knows what to do.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng didn't know what appropriate words to use to comfort the child. She stepped forward and hugged Zhou Jiao silently, patting her back gently.
