Chapter 1139: One Place, One Custom
When it came to the date of the business trip, Zhou Jiao patted her ass and left.
But in private, there is still no shortage of people who are secretly concerned about her investment abroad.
That is, the situation is much more relaxed now, and her background is hard enough, otherwise a random hat will be enough for her to drink a pot.
At the same time......
More people regard Zhou Jiao's move as the political position of Zhou Xiaozheng, the twenty-fourth filial piety father, which makes the faction that stands in the reform very happy.
What does the outside world say?
Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing's attitude towards Weng Son-in-law is noncommittal. Now their family does not fight for power and profit, and it is better to do practical things for the country than anything else.
When Cheng Lao came to inquire, they smiled casually and said: Their family will only stand on the side that really thinks about the interests of the country.
That's a noble statement!
Putting aside the strife of the current situation, Zhou Jiao's funds invested in the gold futures market soon began to climb slightly as she expected.
Although the increase in just two or three months is very small, there are still some signs of it.
Zhou Xiaozheng found that his baby girl had indeed succeeded in speculation, and he was even more relieved. This kind of pride that can't be flaunted, when Zhou Jiao is away on a business trip, he can only show off with his family, which is a little regretful.
Compared with him, Zhang Guoqing was even more sullen.
I used to go home and hug my daughter-in-law, but now that she's gone, she's been out for almost three months, shouldn't she go home?
"Brother, you haven't gotten off work yet?"
Zhang Guoqing listened to Zhou Jiao's voice on the other end of the phone, happy and surprised, "Where are you calling now, is there anyone around to accompany you?" ”
"Don't worry, several colleagues are calling me at the post office."
Hearing her say this, Zhang Guoqing let go of the discipline buckle and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, don't you pay attention to safety, isn't the public security over there chaotic now?" ”
Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes and denied it: "Who said that?" The 56 nationalities are one family, and the people are enthusiastic. "It cannot be denied that there are simple people everywhere.
In particular, there are many production and construction corps in the place where she is now, and their relationship with the local villagers is still good, talking and laughing.
"Hehe......" Zhang Guoqing will not demolish her, and will say this again in the 21st century. He glanced at the time, "Calling home?" ”
"Yes, Aunt Chen took it, and my parents are very busy during this time?"
"Dad is much more relaxed than Kaichun, but he doesn't have much free time. Mom dislikes that there is no one at home, and she is in the unit before the meal. When will you be back? ”
"Me? It should take half a month, I'm not sure yet. ”
Zhang Guoqing listened to the volume on the phone suddenly became quieter, grinning, it seems that his daughter-in-law did not blind him, and sure enough, there are colleagues on the side who are inconvenient to speak.
He then asked Zhou Jiao about her recent diet and accommodation conditions, and he had a general understanding, and ten minutes had passed.
"Brother, there are still people waiting in line to call, I'll hang up first."
"Okay, stay safe and come back early."
Zhang Guoqing listened to the sound of "beep" disconnection in the phone, and reluctantly put down the phone. He hadn't had time to talk about his sons.
Over there, Zhou Jiao tied her headscarf, covered her face, stood aside, and waited for everyone to finish the call.
The place where she is standing now is said to be a certain province, but it is already a certain commune in a certain autonomous region and a certain county in a certain autonomous region of a certain province, and it took a lot of effort to find such a small post office to make a call.
It's a big province.
Sometimes you can't see people after running hundreds of kilometers, so eating and drinking on the road becomes a problem. So, when they finally saw the herdsmen's tents or farmhouses, they couldn't wait to stop the car and get in.
Just hand the people inside a cigarette first, and then say hello in the Uyghur language of the half-budding!
Even if they are very resistant to outsiders, the hostess of the tent or farmhouse will serve milk tea and naan to everyone.
Aren't these simple and enthusiastic farmers and herdsmen?
When I first came to the province, I listened to the loudspeaker radio full of unintelligible Uyghur language, and my eyes were full of ethnic minority women wearing colorful headscarves.
Zhou Jiao still didn't dare to break away from the army, and after trying it a few times, there was really no problem, and when she smelled the fragrance of melons and fruits everywhere, and the authentic mutton food, she became fat.
It's a pity that after a few days in the provincial capital, everyone began to set off in the barren mountains and wilderness.
However, being in a rural area also has the advantage of being rural.
When communicating with farmers working in the fields and fields, she prefers to run with everyone in the field.
What a long insight!
Local farmers usually have lamb noodles with some onions for lunch in the field, because in this way, it is more convenient to make noodles in the field.
They eat little or no vegetables, saying that it is all grass, something for the animals. Of course, they still eat fruits like special watermelons, cantaloupe, apples, and grapes.
One place, one custom.
When Zhou Jiao saw that the local farmers raised chickens, but they didn't eat much chicken and eggs, it was no longer surprising that the main dish was mutton!
Relying on a harmless smile and a long proficient Uyghur language, Zhou Jiao took the opportunity to collect a lot of materials.
If it weren't for the fact that some old comrades of the local Han nationality privately mentioned a few points for comrades to pay attention to safety, Zhou Jiao would have suspected that this would not be the exaggerated province in the legend.
However, even veteran comrades said that in the past two years, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has been abolished and converted into pure farms, and the combat effectiveness and internal quality of the Corps have been greatly inferior to before, and some localities have begun to be rather chaotic......
Zhou Jiao believed this, but she was still more vigilant in her heart.
The forest is big, and there are many birds, not to mention this vast autonomous region with few people. If something happens, no one can really save you.
Of course, the old comrade is really not exaggerating, although such a situation is relatively rare nowadays, but the longer she stays, the more places she passes.
She also discovered that she really wanted 56 nationalities to be a family, and this road still has to be boiled.
In addition to historical reasons, the reason why the local people resist outsiders is also related to their national consciousness, and these ideas have been integrated into the blood and passed down from generation to generation.
But that doesn't mean they're wrong.
Who doesn't have a sense of territory?
"Comrade Zhou, we're all over, do we want to go to the hotel?"
"Go, why don't you go!"
If you want to eat authentic local food in the future, it is impossible to eat more, so you should take advantage of the opportunity to eat more.
Alas...... Don't want to!
These social stability issues are not suitable for a little person like her, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and thinks more about it. She still quietly became a little woman.
"How about eating and then going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something and send it back?"
"Okay, I'm fine."
"It's not easy to come out, I'll go with you."
Listening to the conversation of male and female colleagues, Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile and voted in favor.
When the package arrives, it's time for her to be home!
