Chapter 230: Entering a New Home
Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao to the courtyard, pointed to the flower bed, and said, "This is the old man's, he told Xiao Wu to take good care of it before leaving." Jiaojiao, don't really bother with it. We raise flowers for fun, and if we are dragged down by playthings, it is a burden. The gains outweigh the losses."
Seeing her daughter nodding obediently, Zhou Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction, pulled her to the kitchen, pointed to the inside and said, "You think the kitchen is big enough, right?" There are earthen stoves and converted briquette stoves. Don't burn the earthen stove, it's easy to get stuck in your hands on the firewood. The briquette stove is good, we have a lot of briquette tickets, you can put the briquette directly up, and you don't need to look at the fire. Change the briquettes and let Xiao Wu change, you are careful to get hot. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. She knew she was a little doll in her dad's mind. Her dad couldn't wait to help her eat.
Zhou Xiaozheng pulled her into the cellar and whispered: "This is the basement, and Dad put 400 catties of rice and flour in it." You eat hard, don't give it away, hide it yourself. These boxes are all good prawns and yellow croaker. Remember to hide inside and don't let people in. Originally, if Dad didn't leave tomorrow, he planned to buy some seafood and fine grains for you to eat slowly. If you don't want to cook rice anymore, just burn vermicelli and eat it. There are also large dried fish in the warehouse for you to eat slowly. The rest of the small strips are full of thorns, and you still have to look at how to give them away. ”
"Dad, it's enough to eat, there's no need to buy any more. You take the prawns away this time, and it looks good to give them away. Zhou Jiao hurriedly said.
Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head straightly, "No, you can eat these if you want to eat them." Dad doesn't need to give gifts. You don't have to move the things in this basement to the village. Don't make a noise, Xiao Wu already knows it in his heart, just listen to him. ”
Father and daughter went out of the basement and locked the entrance door. Zhou Xiaozheng took her to the warehouse, and when she opened the door, she smelled fishy. After waiting for a while, the smell dissipated a little, Zhou Xiaozheng pointed to the large dried fish hanging inside, and said, "Keep these for yourself to eat." The seafood on the ground will also be sent to a few uncles in your provincial capital. ”
"Then when you go back, do you want to prepare anything for your aunt? You can't be empty-handed, right? I think you'd better prepare some to take home. I still have some tea leaves in my hand, and you can bring them back with you. ”
Zhou Xiaozheng looked out and said softly, "Bring it back and give it to your grandma." There are too many people, not enough points, it is better not to give. Last time you prepared so much, enough fun.
When you go back to Beijing, remember not to bring anything. Don't look at the fact that they mail a few packages is a favor, our family's money and interest alone are enough for them to send hundreds of times.
They gave the three baptisms of peace, and you gave them in return. We don't owe them anything. It's not that Dad is stingy, but if he goes to the Lin family with such a big bag, the Gu family still thinks that we don't know, and thinks that we are easy to bully. ”
Zhou Jiao listened and nodded, "Okay, listen to you." Then prepare a few boxes of good tea leaves that look inconspicuous, and you bring them to your aunt and grandmother. I guess my aunt and grandfather like tea. I originally wanted to give my aunt some ejiao, but forget it, the days are long. ”
When Zhou Xiaozheng heard this, he gently knocked her on the head, "Hehe, my girl is smart." Okay, let's go out with father and daughter, and Dad will show you your study and bedroom in the main room. Professor Liu: Let's not use the dark grid on the drawing for now. There are fewer people, and we design and put things ourselves. ”
Zhou Jiao followed him to the main room and said softly: "Dad, don't be a dark guy yet, you don't need it yet." When I'm free, I'll put something in a little compartment in the cellar. ”
Zhou Xiaozheng saw the living room, there were many people, and changed the topic, "There are some books in the study that are very good, you can flip through them." Professor Liu has more books at home, and it would be nice if he met him and wanted to sell them. ”
"Collect slowly. Nowadays, the price of used books is very cheap, and no one reads them. ”
Everyone in the living room chatted happily and listened to Old Man Lin tell stories about the battlefield.
The father and daughter quietly avoided them and went into the study.
As soon as she entered, Zhou Jiao's eyes lit up, she looked at the books in the bookcase excitedly, ran to the desk, gently touched the countertop, and waited for her to look at the entire study.
Her face flushed with excitement, her eyes bent with a smile, she ran to the books excitedly, looked at the catalogs one by one, and shouted repeatedly: "It's worth it, it's really worth it, this study alone is worth it." Dad, you're so good, this can also be found by you. ”
Zhou Xiaozheng saw her rare gaffe, and looked at it happily, "There are still a few things missing, can you think of what is missing?" ”
Zhou Jiao nodded happily, "The four treasures of the study room are still bad, and the paper is still bad." I'm going back to Beijing to find out, so I'm not in a hurry. Ouch, this old man is really good, why don't you leave a little more ink treasure. This big table is good, and it makes me want to write. ”
"Put embroidery tools on the kang again, and it's almost neat. The yard is too small, there is no way, I will use it first, and then Dad will arrange a beautiful study for you. ”
Zhou Jiao shook her head excitedly, "It's not small, it's enough." Embroidery tools are not in a hurry. In the past two years, I have not been interested in embroidery, as long as the female red is enough. I'm going to listen to you, and start practicing calligraphy and chess. ”
"Good idea, Dad went back and bought a set of four treasures and Go and sent it to you."
Zhou Jiao hurriedly refused, "Don't, this thing is easy to break." I'll go to the provincial city to buy it, I'm afraid you'll buy it again. When I return to Beijing, Dad, you will accompany me to choose. ”
Zhou Xiaozheng helplessly spread his hands, "Okay, listen to my daughter." Who made you our biggest? Looking at Jiaojiao's smile and dancing, his heart was warm, his daughter should be like this.
Zhang Guoqing had already heard the conversation between the two fathers and daughters in the back room, and he hadn't seen anyone come in after seeing it for a long time.
"Dad, take Jiaojiao in and see the bedroom."
Zhou Xiaozheng dragged the reluctant Zhou Jiao into the back room, and found that Zhou Jiao had lost the excitement just now, and raised her eyebrows proudly at her son-in-law.
Zhang Guoqing looked at him and laughed secretly, "Don't you like Jiaojiao?" ”
Zhou Jiao said: "No, they are all good materials and valuable goods." This old man is really a loser. Fortunately, he sold it casually, and it was not easy to get together such a valuable thing.
The old lady estimated that her mother's house was still very expensive, all of them were good wood, and a complete set of furniture in the bedroom, how much effort did the old lady's parents spend at the beginning, and it was abandoned like this. Up and down, now future generations are not walking the same path. ”
Zhou Xiaozheng laughed when he heard this, "You kid, if you hear it, you can't say that we have to sell cheaply." You go and pack your suitcase, there are still some fabrics and sundries in the closet, and you look at it and put it in order. Dad went out with them first. ”
Zhou Jiao smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, let's invite them to eat out tonight, don't prepare dinner." ”
"Okay, I'll explain this to Xiao Wu. You can pack your things with peace of mind and remember to put the important things away. ”
Zhou Jiao watched her father leave, and ran to the closet with a smile, "Brother, where did these things come from?" Why so many? It seems that both of us can save a lot of money. ”
Zhang Guoqing hugged his son and gently put him on the bed, "Uncle Zhao Chuanguang, don't say it." It's all sorted out and put in the closet, and our mother has already given a lot to Zhao Yuanyuan. These are all good things, keep them and use them slowly. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded when she heard this, rearranged it and placed it on top, and then packed up the clothes she brought from home. Deliberately locked all the suitcases in the closet.
Zhang Guoqing leaned on the kang, "Jiaojiao, I guess we have to change the furniture." There are a lot of people who know how to do it. ”
Zhou Jiao stepped forward and touched the mattress, it was quite soft, and looked at her son's eyes and walked straight to the door, "Well, use it first." In front of the village, the courtyard is the mainstay. Split up early, move in early. You see, Ping An likes it very much. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at the little thing, covered the top of his head with his hand, and found that he was not crying, his eyes began to look at him, and he looked at him with great interest, "Jiaojiao, I found that our son must have a very high IQ, and he reacted very quickly before the full moon." Son, you still know how to appreciate. ”
Zhou Jiao leaned close to Zhang Guoqing's ear and said softly: "Our father is reluctant to send things to the old lady of the Lin family, in order not to be conspicuous, I plan to send some tea to my aunt and grandfather, how much do you think is appropriate?" What kind of tea to give? ”
"Specially sent Tieguanyin, the top one took two boxes for Dad to drink himself. There are also three boxes of almost sent to my aunt, pay attention to the packaging. You see if there are any inconspicuous ones to bring back to Dad. ”
Zhou Jiao's eyes widened, she looked at it for a long time, shook her head, and suddenly took out a coat in surprise, "This is the coat I modified last time, can you take a look?" It was yours, and I think you're about the same height as my dad. ”
Zhang Guoqing immediately pulled the coat, put it inside, shook his head and refused, "No, this is the first coat you made for me here, and no one will give it." You're just giving all the gold, not this dress. ”
Zhou Jiao glanced at him and patted him with a smile, "Okay, you're the most important, right?" If you don't send it, when you get out of the confinement period, I will knit sweaters and make clothes for you, all of which are warm brands. ”
Zhang Guoqing squinted at her, "It's pretty much the same." But knitting sweaters, it's too tiring. In the future, if you have time to knit sweaters for Dad, he will be so happy that he can't find the north. You look at what's inside, there should be something. ”
Zhou Jiao shook her head resolutely, leaned on his ear and whispered: "Dad is shrewd, I can't send it." It's not that I'm worried about him, and multiple people know that it's not necessary. It's a secret for both of us. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch and immediately got up, "I drove to Grandpa Wang's to ask for wine, and I said that it was for my father-in-law's body and bones." When they ask, just shake your head, and I'll be back before dinner. ”
Zhou Jiao hurriedly pulled him, "Bring something over, don't come to the door empty-handed." You see what they are rare. ”
"Haha, they are the rarest of our family. Do you have any special wine from your grandfather last time? Give me a bottle and I'll bring some seafood and go straight over. Look again to see if there are many military coats. ”
Zhou Jiao stood up, took out a military coat from the closet, and handed it to him with a bottle of wine, Zhang Guoqing wrapped the wine in the coat and walked out, came to the warehouse and took out a small bamboo basket, stuffed three large yellow croakers and some small dried fish into it, and walked outside with it.
