Hard work pays off.

While busy with work and meetings, Zhou Jiao finally contacted the father and son of the fishing village the next day. This time, Zhou Jiao deliberately reminded the other party that in addition to the bright face, a large number of acquisitions were made in private.

The opening of the farmers' market has caused the circulation of market materials, so it is also very convenient. That is, there are sufficient materials and stable prices.

In addition to the regulations that allow farmers to sell vegetables and fruits, in fact, the more remote the place, the more types of trade. For example, in the prairie market, the restriction of coarse grains and wild animals cannot be avoided.

Similarly, hairy crabs, lobsters, river fresh, seafood in the sea, etc. have also become the choice of most farmers with advantageous locations.

After so many years, the father and son became fishermen, and the family was still mainly engaged in agriculture. The son also had the honor of becoming a team scorer. Sell something for a few days, and life is good.

When she went to visit her grandfather Jiang's village, Zhou Jiao was the first to pass by their fishing village. It is said that it is a fishing village, compared to the fishing village in the northeast, it is not counted!

Close to the river embankment, there are still a lot of fertile fields.

In the hot summer, the fields are full of sweaty members, as well as tanned mud dolls running around.

Hurrying early in the morning, when Zhou Jiao arrived at the other party's house, it was almost noon to get off work, and was taken to a new yard at the entrance of the village by the youngest son left by the family according to the agreement.

"My eldest brother is getting married, and this is his new house. After the grove is the riverside, my eldest brother said that everything is over there, and it is quiet here. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded amusedly. It's really rare for a seven or eight-year-old boy to be able to explain word by word! I touched a few pieces of candy from my pocket and gave him a sincere smile.

"Sister, my sister-in-law is also beautiful."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao smiled.

Looking at this courtyard with southern characteristics, it is not difficult to guess that over the years, in addition to the income on the surface, the family has also made a lot of money in private.

It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary family to rely on a fisherman's income and a share of the family's work to build a half-brick and half-mud yard for the eldest son to marry.

Looking at the cute boy in front of her, Zhou Jiao planned to finish the transaction with kindness, and give this smart and capable eldest son a hint, it's time to stop.

Especially later, I saw two small boats full of sea fish, river fish, those miscellaneous materials, and hairy crabs hanging in the river in sacks and sacks.

After paying more than 300 yuan, which was not much more expensive than the market price, Zhou Jiao solemnly warned the other party a few words, and saw that the young man bowed and thanked him thoughtfully.

She knew the other party had listened. Isn't that a good thing to do? After sending them away, Zhou Jiao, who was in a good mood, continued to rush to Grandpa Jiang's village along the way.

The two places are in different locations, and she deliberately hides it, not wanting people to find out about her whereabouts. Before nightfall, I finally went to the village that Zhang Guoqing had said countless times.

This time, she deliberately changed into a military uniform. Yes, military uniforms! She had to make an impression that Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter's family was a soldier.

As soon as I arrived at Qiaotou, as Zhang Guoqing said, someone really saw outsiders coming, who to call first, who to find? Be cautious in your attitude.

As soon as Zhou Jiao spoke in dialect and reported the name of Grandpa Jiang, the other party took the lead in shouting that the little dolls not far away should go and inform the third master.

ran forward with enthusiasm and took the two large packages from Zhou Jiao's hands.

Listening to his self-introduction, Zhou Jiao learned that it was Grandpa Jiang's next-door neighbor, and she was overjoyed and inquired about how the old man had been in good health in recent years?

Every time he writes, Grandpa Jiang reports good news but not bad news, even if Uncle Huang Dong and Uncle Huang often come to visit the old man, but after all, the mountains and rivers are far away.

"Okay. In the past two years, he has stayed in his hometown and doesn't like to go to the city, and you send packages every day for food and clothing, and your grandfather is fine. ”

"He can't be idle, so when he's fine, he goes to the team to help. Last year, I received a telegram saying that you had given birth to twins, but I was so happy that I invited everyone to have a meal. ”

"Why didn't your man come back with you? You little girl came from afar, why didn't you shoot a telegram first? We're going to pick you up. ”

Zhou Jiao explained with a smile: "I am on a business trip. The child's father is a soldier, and he can't go without holidays. This time, I want to take my grandfather back. ”

"Alas, don't mention it, he's not leaving. The old man is stubborn. There are always a few days a month when I go to talk to your mom and them. ”

Zhou Jiao reacted and smiled unnaturally. Her own mother is still alive and kicking around in the capital. Before getting on the bus, I deliberately let myself bring more money and tickets, and buy more souvenirs to go back.

Sure enough, it's not right to lie!

However, as the other party said, Grandpa Jiang smiled and said nothing about going to the capital, or he would lead the topic.

When Zhou Jiao went to the aunt and uncle who had been taking care of the old man, and went to the third uncle of the captain, she sent the supouvenir she brought, and as soon as she stepped into the yard, the air was filled with the fragrance of stewed chicken.

"Grandpa, why did you kill the chicken? It's good to keep the eggs. "No wonder she said this, the hens raised in the countryside are small banks, in addition to being able to exchange firewood, salt, sauce and vinegar, but also when there is a shortage of meat, eggs can supplement nutrition.

My aunt and uncle, who visited her first, wiped her hands and quipped with a smile: "What is this, I still have chickens at home, and your grandfather is not short of eggs when I look back." ”

Grandfather Jiang nodded happily. What is an old hen? He gave this kid everything in the future, and he was worried about this little thing.

At dinner time, almost the whole village came one after another to watch the excitement. This is the aunt and grandmother of their clan, or the aunt and grandmother from the capital.

Zhou Jiao, who was full of smiles, hurriedly took a few mouthfuls, brought out the sweets and pastries brought from the house, and used dialect to get closer to the old aunts and aunts.

He used a few bottles of good wine to invite the old and young masters to sit down and drink with Grandpa Jiang.

Zhou Jiao, who was respectful to her juniors, made Grandpa Jiang earn enough face, and he was so happy that he never closed his mouth all night, and he didn't feel distressed and complained that Zhou Jiao brought too many things.

This time, Zhou Jiao came over, in addition to the clothes, malt cream, milk powder, ready-to-eat cooked food and biscuits prepared for the old man, the most was the wine and appetizers that could be stored for a long time.

People are old, and there is no one around them. If you want to be more lively, the only way to save some good wine is to attract a few old guys with similar interests to come to the house for a sip, and to drive away some loneliness in old age.

Taking advantage of the excitement, Zhou Jiao repeatedly thanked everyone and thanked them for taking care of Grandpa Jiang all the time. In private, before leaving, he also gave a few pieces of fabric to several cousins and sisters-in-law of his cousin's family who had already started a family.

She knows human nature too well. The cousin and uncle still have family affection for Grandpa Jiang, which does not mean that the third generation still has any affection to talk about, especially in the countryside, the inheritance left by the old man has not given the custom of marrying a daughter since ancient times.

Such a large courtyard, even if it has been registered in her name, is not enough. As the next generation grows up, it's inevitable that the eyes will be on these things.

She doesn't care about these external objects, but she cares about all the troubles that will make Grandpa Jiang old and encounter bad things. She had to give them a hint in her heart.

She Zhou Jiao is not short of money, she Zhou Jiao as long as her grandfather has a good old age, who has helped the elderly, this kindness, she can't forget, maybe the return in the future is comparable to this big yard.

can't blame her for using means, since the old man didn't go back to Beijing with him, in his old age, Zhou Jiao, who was his only granddaughter, could only start preparing first.
