At the end of April, a letter from Zhou Xiaozheng caught Zhou Jiao's attention. The tone was still the same, but the meaning of the words made her hurry up and go home.

was so anxious that Zhou Jiao looked for every detail and found that there was no trace of dark lines. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her family. Her mother, Lin Lishan, has always written to her, and she has not mentioned any changes in the family.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Just as Zhou Jiao was packing her luggage and planning to take her children to the capital tomorrow morning, Zhang Guoqing returned home from work.

After asking for details, he thought it shouldn't be a bad thing. With his father-in-law's way of doing things, it is estimated that he smelled something that seemed to be true or false, and he didn't even worry about marking the code words on the paper. I can only say that the anxious thing is not very serious, and it is true that I miss my daughter.

When Zhou Jiao heard this, she immediately decided to go to the capital with Ping'an. Ming'er went to her godfather early in the morning to find a way. She also missed her father, and said that she would come to the Northeast to see her, but she hadn't seen anyone for several months, so she kept her heart.

Glancing at the time on his watch, Zhang Guoqing immediately asked her to wait, and then ran out after speaking.

Looking at the direction he ran away, Zhou Jiao held the child and guarded at the gate.

After more than an hour, Zhang Guoqing appeared in her sight.

"How? Did you contact your godfather? What did he say? ”

Zhang Guoqing pulled her in with a smile and said in a low voice, "Godfather, let you not worry." He reminded me that my dad might want to take advantage of the good weather to go back to his old house to pay respects. He said he would write back to us tomorrow. ”

At this moment, Zhou Xiaozheng returned home tired, and saw his wife waiting for him with her hands behind her back with a smile.

He glanced at it, went straight back to the bedroom and took out a change of clothes, ignored Lin Lishan who followed closely, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaozheng came out, and Aunt Chen had already set up the meal. Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, he frowned slightly, and finally said something.

"Brother Zheng, let me tell you, did you hear that? After May Day, I plan to go to the Northeast to see Jiaojiao. ”

His wife kept talking, why didn't Zhou Xiaozheng hear it? It's just that he's in a bad mood and doesn't bother to pay attention. Originally, I could go to the Northeast for a meeting last month, but I couldn't go again. The dishes prepared by his Jiaojiao are almost finished, and he hasn't seen them yet.

"Don't go yet. Ah Guang will come to the capital for a meeting on May Day, and Jiaojiao may come over. After saying that, he didn't pay attention to his wife's laughter, and lowered his head to eat quickly. plans to go to Cheng's house tonight to see what his aunt arranges.

Before he finished dinner, Mrs. Cheng came over with a smile and brought the dishes, "Eaten?" Your favorite fried pork strips are here. How about a taste of Auntie's craft? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly got up and took the plate, "Why don't you give yourself some meat?" ”

"Auntie, Brother Zheng said that Jiaojiao is going home on May Day." Lin Lishan happily pulled the old lady to sit down and handed her the dishes and chopsticks.

The old lady looked at Zhou Xiaozheng in surprise when she heard this, and when she saw him nodding, she immediately laughed happily. Then I realized that May 2 was the birthday of their father and daughter. She can finally cook longevity noodles for her children, which makes her even more happy.

Zhou Xiaozheng put a few chopsticks and dishes into the old lady's bowl, "Jiaojiao came over this time, let's go to the old house, right?" I have a holiday, so I just happened to be with you for a few days, and then I went to a meeting. ”

"Good... This time we went to see our hometown. After decades of anticipation, I finally waited for this day. Xiaozheng, did you really decide to rent the old house to the local department? With my aunt here, the yard will be fine. Now it's not as good as it was then, who dares to touch our old house? Do you want to think again? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng motioned to her to speak later. Regarding the old mansion, this is in his plan. Handing it over to the local department early can also allow people to visit and remember the history of the Gu family. The distance between the two places is too far, and if something happens, he will be helpless in the capital.

After dinner, Zhou Xiaozheng took the old lady to the study, and just after saying a few words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Hearing that Zhao Chuanguang was calling to find him, Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly took the guards to the office and ran to the office, there was no urgency, and it was impossible to call him at night. His only worry was that something had happened to his Jiaojiao.

In the office, Zhou Xiao was staring at the telephone with a straight face. At this moment, his heart was uneasy, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit one, and waited quietly.

When the phone rang, he immediately picked up the phone, and first heard Zhao Chuanguang's laughter, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhao Chuanguang's speech, Zhou Xiao gradually smiled and happily pinched the cigarette butt.

As soon as there was a pause, he unceremoniously asked Zhao Chuanguang and his wife to take Zhou Jiao back to Beijing before May Day.

The two brothers talked about Silas and said a few words, and after hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiao was walking home quickly, such a big happy event had to make the old lady happy.

Not to mention the capital, how did Zhou Xiaozheng discuss the itinerary with Mrs. Cheng and Lin Lishan.

At this time, Zhang Guoqing was flipping through his textbooks in the study, absentmindedly thinking about how to ask Zhao Dashan for leave.

The daughter-in-law took her son to the capital, and maybe traveled around. In this case, he is not at ease. Looking at his wife opposite, Zhang Guoqing secretly admired that he was so calm. Want to go out into the world alone? No way.

"Don't look at me. This time you're at home, and my son and I will come back when we go. Zhou Jiao squinted and smiled.

Zhang Guoqing said dissatisfiedly: "I must follow you." I'll find Uncle Dashan tomorrow to see what I can do. What can I do when I'm not around for your birthday? It's your eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony..."

"Wait. What did you just say? Birthday? I know why my dad let me be free to come home? You forgot our father and daughter's birthday on the same day? Zhou Jiao heard half of it, and immediately stood up and said.

Zhang Guoqing was dumbfounded. He had forgotten about it, and his father-in-law should have thought he was stupid.

Then he reacted and hurriedly said, "Then I'm going to go." What if I don't go for my birthday with you? Uncle Dashan is not allowed to take a vacation, and I don't go to work. ”

Zhou Jiao looked at his rare childishness, pursed her lips and smiled.

After a while, she couldn't bear it and secretly reminded him, "Ask my godfather for help." It's okay to transfer you to the provincial capital for a month. If the operation is good, maybe you can come back and increase your salary. ”

Zhang Guoqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he shook his head. The unit system is different, adjust the yarn? Tai Chi Fox can help. It's a pity that I didn't hear my father-in-law mention whether the other party is a friend or foe?

In desperation, he told Zhou Jiao about his homework and asked her to analyze it. What did his father-in-law pay attention to? Relationship with each other? The other party's style?

"It won't be an enemy, it's an adversary. Dad will make you careful, not noticed. But if you're a friend, I haven't been in contact with each other, so I can't make up my mind. Ask my godfather tomorrow how to ask for leave? He'll count. Fox, don't mention it to your godfather, be careful that the other party is your father's secret chess. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled knowingly. If you want to say that you know Zhou Xiaozheng best, I'm afraid that only Zhou Jiao is the best. Since she said so, she must be sure. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was good that he could take a leave of absence and not involve the future.
