Zhou Xiao was outside when he heard bursts of laughter from the back room. Zhang Guoqing, who was beside him, had sharp ears, but when he heard a few words, he saw the blindfold on his father-in-law's face, and secretly laughed.

The two of them entered the back room, Zhou Xiaozheng watched them burst into laughter, and said happily: "Auntie, it seems that you and Jiaojiao are in love, how about it?" Isn't our Jiaojiao smart and beautiful? I knew you were going to like this kid. It's not that I praise how good my girl is, it's true that no one can compare to my Jiaojiao. ”

Old Lady Cheng nodded with a smile, "It is indeed a good boy." We are blessed, just the old Zhang family, this marriage is good, the in-laws are good, the partner you are looking for, I see it really good. Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, the two of you must support well in the future. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded solemnly, "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of Jiaojiao and the child." You always look good, if I don't do well one day, you will beat me hard. ”

Old Mrs. Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "Grandma believes in you." You can see that you are mentally more mature than your peers and know what you want. Your father and mother teach their children well, you husband and wife must be filial to them in the future, especially Jiaojiao, Xiao Wu's father and mother handed over the outstanding son to you, you must accompany Xiao Wu to live a good life, don't forget the kindness of your parents.

Your parents are busy with work, and they will definitely not be able to take care of them in life, don't be afraid if you young couples encounter difficulties, if you have something to do in the future, you will find your aunt and grandma, grandma is not good and your aunt and grandpa, no matter how it works, there are still people in our family to support you. As long as you act upright, our Gu family will never be cornered again. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded when she heard this, thinking of the Gu family, thinking of her own grandfather and grandmother, she was a little fascinated for a while, she should also leave a way back for everything, people, a life is too long, and there are too many accidents. She must not let her children, her future brothers, repeat the path of the two families.

Mother Zhang listened to Mrs. Cheng's words, and her heart was full of emotion, this is the elder.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and his girl was probably worried about the future, so he hurriedly stuffed the box he was carrying into Zhou Jiao's hand, and looked up at him in surprise, deliberately patted her head, and complained: "What do you think?" The children's family eats and drinks well, and everything has you. This is a relic left by your grandparents, and you keep it for your father. Your mother and I weren't that careful, you can put it away. ”

Zhou Jiao frowned, glanced at her mother a few times, saw that she really didn't care, looked at her with a smile, and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly remembered the family heirloom jade pendant and seal in the token, and just wanted to speak, but swallowed it back, planning to wait until no one would talk to her father later. She has a lot of questions in her heart, and she hasn't talked to her dad yet, so she is not in a hurry.

Zhou Xiaozheng watched her put away the box, remembered his girl's desire to talk just now, and roughly understood what she wanted to say, and smiled secretly. His girl thought of it, how could he not think of it, this is also the reason why he handed it over to her directly. There are still many things that are inconvenient to tell others, so they can only wait for their father and daughter to figure it out by themselves.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that the time was almost open, and said to Zhang's mother: "Second sister-in-law, the family is going to eat, let's all go out." When you're done, you'll come back and talk to Jiaojiao. ”

When Zhang's mother heard this, she patted herself and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, go, everyone goes, let's go to lunch first, and then go back to the house to have a good chat." Aunt Jiaojiao, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first. ”

Zhou Jiao took her son and sent them out of the door, returned to the back room, put down her son, thought about it, retrieved the two boxes, kept staring at the two boxes, and didn't open them, just thinking to herself.

The two boxes are the suitcases that prevailed during the Republic of China, one is a boxy ordinary box woven by willow and rattan, and the other is supposed to be a lockbox brought back from abroad. Thinking that her grandmother took out an ordinary wooden box containing the Gu family heirloom jade pendant and the Zhou family seal, she removed her eyes and pondered on the willow rattan box.

After so many decades, the willow vine suitcase has been well preserved, and the surface of the outer box has been wiped shiny. There is not a single burr to be seen, and even the small keyhole on it is brand new without a trace of rust.

She secretly wondered to herself, if she was her grandmother, there was a plan to cheat death at that time, and she went out with a soft outlet, in addition to the lockbox, there should be a relatively large suitcase to contain things, unless this wicker box has any commemorative value, there is no need to carry it with her, with her net worth at the time, so that the box that looks very rough will not contain heavy objects, nor can it contain heavy objects. So why did her grandmother carry her with the lockbox until she died? Could it be that her grandfather came to the door in distress?

Zhou Jiao frowned, thought hard, and touched the four corners without giving up, feeling carefully if there was anything abnormal. Eventually, she smiled wryly.

She imagined that her grandmother would leave her dad's whereabouts in the box, or leave a letter to her dad. With the only daughter of the Gu family being raised as a boy, she couldn't have imagined that if she was unfortunate and the Zhou family didn't send the child back, how could Liu Xizhi find the child? The betrayal of the Gu family is alive, will she be naïve enough to trust Zhou Jiaren? She would rather give up her family fortune to take back her child, which must not worry about Zhou Jiaren. But how can you not leave behind?

Zhou Jiao also wanted to open it to see if there was a mezzanine inside, but the key was not with her, so she could only wait for her father to come back. She had a hunch that her talented grandmother must have left a letter, but her aunt hadn't thought about destroying the box, or that she had forgotten the hint her sister had given in the first place.

Zhou Jiao sighed deeply, she wanted to find a word for her father, which made him feel some comfort. Don't look at her father's smile and face as usual now, but she still feels heartache and sadness, and has been forced into desperation by her own people one after another, grandma is like this, her father is like this, she is like this, what Gu family, Zhou family, all forget that their main house is raising their partial house, she gritted her teeth with hatred when she thought about it.

Will her father not understand, will he not understand? In the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, when she saw the tablet high above from a distance, she suddenly felt ridiculous, and she didn't know if the grandparents above would dislike the cousins around her.

Neither father nor daughter likes to spread out their wounds for others to see, and they both bear it silently, just like silently bearing all the injustices. Maybe her grandmother left a letter to her father, and he should feel better, at least their father and daughter still have the love of their closest blood.

After putting away the suitcase, Zhou Jiao patted her son gently, her brain was running fast. This time, she must her father work hard to create people, and she must train her younger brothers well, and the Zhou family in the capital cannot fall in her generation. In case there is really no way to have a younger brother, she decided to give birth to a son as soon as possible with her surname Zhou.

She listened to what happened to the Gu family, and there was only one thought, in the future, the Zhou family in the capital can only be the Zhou family in the capital, what clansmen, they can come and go if they want to, and the Gu family died at her door, and she walked away with a smile.
