In the small courtyard of the county seat, Zhou Xiaozheng at this time absolutely couldn't think of everything he was going to face.

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room to drink tea and chatted a few words.

Zhao Dashan saw that Zhou Xiaozheng's mother and son were absent-minded, and knew that the old lady suddenly came to the county seat today, and it must be another moth in the Zhou family. He looked at Zhou Xiaozheng worriedly, and then thought that Zhang Guoqing was on the side, and he was relieved.

Why didn't the family suffer enough this week, and they still wanted to hit Zhang Guoqing's little couple. They thought that Zhou Xiao was his son and younger brother, so he could calculate. Why don't you think about it, even if Brother Zheng can't do it, there is a little fox Zhou Jiao behind him. Is this because you didn't see the situation clearly, or did you not see clearly that the little white rabbit Zhou Jiao was a little fox in the mainland? There is also a tiger eyeing you around, this is the rhythm of looking for death!

Zhao Dashan looked at the hands of the new wall clock in the living room and turned to half past five, his wife and Lin Lishan had already cleaned up the kitchen, and it was inconvenient for them to deal with family affairs here.

He hurriedly finished the tea in the cup and stood up, "Brother Zheng, let's go back first when we're full of food and drink." I'll look for you tomorrow morning when Zhao Chuanguang comes over. Go back and rest early. Auntie, let's go back first, and then you can come up to my house and sit when you have time, not far from here, just ahead. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that he insisted on leaving, and he didn't stay any longer, got up and said, "Mother, you sit down first, and I'll send them." After saying that, he walked out first.

"Brother Zheng, you don't have to go out, it's not the first time we've come to the door, you're still afraid that we don't know the way."

"It's okay, a few steps." Zhou Xiaozheng saw his son-in-law coming out of the warehouse with a bamboo basket and smiled secretly, this son-in-law really had eyes, as soon as Zhao Dashan said goodbye, he had already taken a step forward to prepare.

Zhang Guoqing handed Zhao Hongbing two bamboo baskets, saw that the other party looked at his father hesitantly, and said with a smile: "Don't look at your father, carry it quickly, it's not heavy." After eating, come to the door. ”

Zhao Dashan looked at his son's helpless appearance, nodded with a smile, and said to him, "Take it." We don't have to be polite, you can take as much as you have Uncle Zhou, you just treat your Uncle Zhou as filial piety. ”

Cheng Hongli laughed, "And you take it for granted, be careful that next time you come to the door, Brother Zheng will take a broom to chase you." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng teased her, "It's okay, you can move back when you go back to your house and see anything, don't feel distressed." ”

"Hehe, okay, as long as you fancy it, you don't have to do it, I'll move it all over for you."

Zhou Xiaozheng was at the gate, watching Zhao Dashan's family disappear, Lin Lishan asked Zhang Guoqing, "Did you put the rice that your Aunt Cheng brought over in a bamboo basket?" ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled, "Fortunately, they brought rations, Mom, you can see the amount of food of the Zhao family brothers and sisters, right?" Their meal is enough for our Jiaojiao to eat for a month. Hehe, just kidding. I was embarrassed to return it to them as it was, so I specially prepared more than 10 catties of flour and bacon and put it under the bamboo basket, and put some dried fish on it, for fear that Aunt Cheng would see it and postpone it. Seeing that they like shrimp crawlers very much, they added shrimp crawlers and conch shells to the other bamboo basket, which is decent enough. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng walked back with him, nodded with a smile, and looked at him approvingly, "It's handled very well." Don't worry, your son-in-law will do this little thing for you. ”

"I won't be upset. I just felt embarrassed to invite them to the door, and they brought rice over. Jiaojiao said that the supply of rice in the city is also limited. As far as Hongli's frugality is concerned, it is estimated that she has been kept for a long time, but don't give it to us, she eats coarse grains at home. Then I am a sinner. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng was secretly amused, it is estimated that in the eyes of his wife, everyone is thrifty. Maybe I have had a lot of contact with Cheng Hongli in the past two days, and I have feelings. She didn't want to think about whether she was eating and living in the army, occasionally going back to her parents' house to satisfy her hunger, where did she think about whether the rations in the supply book were enough, and she didn't know that housewives had to calculate their lives. Fortunately, I married him, the two didn't fire before, and when he returned to Beijing this time, he was promoted to live in a small courtyard to be matched with housekeeping staff.

"Don't worry, Zhao Dashan will buy grain on the black market. We have all made an appointment to go to province K in a few days, there is no shortage of food there. We don't buy coarse grains, we keep them for everyone to live, and we buy some fine grains. ”

Zhang Guoqing considered the situation next year and the next year, and nodded approvingly, "Dad has a point, we don't buy coarse grains." Jiaojiao and I had rations when we went to the county registration, plus the fine grains stored at home, which was enough to eat. After the spring of next year, the yard built by the village will be planted with sweet potatoes and corn, but I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it all. ”

Seeing that he was in the living room of the main house, Zhang Guoqing immediately stopped talking. looked at my father-in-law, and wondered if I should avoid it first at night? Regarding the ** of the Zhou family, he really can't be arrogant without the consent of his father-in-law.

How could Zhou Xiaozheng not notice the eyes of his son-in-law, they all counted each other, tonight is a good opportunity, and it is difficult to hear the tone from the old lady's mouth after tonight.

As for avoiding it, if there is really something wrong with his background, it will also be beneficial to the old man, otherwise, with his temperament, he will not threaten him but drive him away.

"Shanshan, you will see if there are any coats and quilts to be brought back by the old lady, clean them up, don't put too many of them in the room and wait for me to take a look." I will talk to the old lady with Xiao Wu, we will go back later, and it will be clean here. After Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, he walked to the living room.

Mrs. Zhou sat in the living room, carefully observing the furnishings in the living room. As soon as she came in, she went to the room to rest, and she didn't have time to look at it. Now that the original owner still has a background, it is no wonder that the fire wall is installed. I don't know if I will be willing to give up when I encounter something, and then I think of my mother's family and the Zhou family, and my mood is depressed.

After waiting for a while, seeing them come in, the old lady squinted her eyes slightly and smiled, "Are they all gone?" This is the first time I have seen Xiaozheng have comrades-in-arms in the county, and I see that the family has a good character, and they will often look at them in the future, and you husband and wife have nothing to worry about, and you should go back to the capital as soon as possible to work with peace of mind. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "Zhao Dashan is a real person, but I haven't seen him for so many years, and his temperament has not changed." Just because their husband and wife often take care of us, Jiaojiao also has to remember this love. ”

"You have to remember this feeling. There are still a lot of good people these days. When will you return to the capital? If it's okay, leave early, and my mother will be relieved to see that you are doing well. Don't usually send money over, we all have salaries, so we really can't find Jiaojiao anymore. You haven't been here for more than ten years, you have to go up and down as soon as possible, here Jiaojiao married and even gave birth to children, Xiao Wu, you have also seen it, they are all good children, there is nothing for you to worry about. You go back early, don't come back if you're fine, and let Xiao Wu take Jiaojiao to see you if you miss the child. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes darkened, and he complained to her with a smile, "Mother, why do you always want me to go back early?" You don't want your little son anymore, I want to stay with you for a few days. I always miss you outside, I'm afraid I don't know if you have something, this is finally to see you, and let me leave early, I don't know I think you are driving me. ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at him sadly, "How can my mother not think of you, when I see Jiaojiao, I think of you, and I think of you when I was a child." You've given too much to our family, and we can't drag you down any longer. If you go back early, your father will think too much about it, and it will be in vain. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he always can't see through it. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng was gloomy when he heard this, and the question in his heart was still ruthlessly asked, "Mother, you also know how I am doing in the Zhou family, no one in that family is my relative except for you." I asked myself if I was sorry for my father, but he was involved in Jiaojiao, and our father and daughter were outsiders in the Zhou family. I want to ask, who is Liu Xizhi? Who gave me the amulet I wore on my body since I was a child? ”
