The days have come to the end of autumn.

Zhou Xiaozheng, who couldn't get out, asked Zhou Jiao and the others to take their children back to Beijing.

Zhou Jiao thought about it again and again, but still refused. It's not that I don't want her father, but it's too troublesome.

The debt is the most difficult to repay, and she is unwilling to let Zhao Chuanguang take risks on the knife edge. There are too few people who treat her sincerely, and she is reluctant to lose anyone.

The most critical, perhaps... Maybe... The Northeast is getting farther and farther away from his husband and wife. She wants to keep more memories and think of the days in the Northeast in the future.

October 12th, Hei's birthday.

But it's not the birthday of their family of three.

The past life is like smoke, and this life needs to be cherished.

She wanted to commemorate the one-year anniversary. In the Northeast, on this day, leave a complete memory.

"Jiaojiao, the food in our unit has also regressed."

"Just be fed. Now my father and mother and I don't have much food rations, and I'm really worried that my father and mother won't have enough to eat. I knew that I wouldn't move their accounts in the first place. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled and patted her head, "That's not easy?" It is more convenient to move back to the hukou. Now that the village is overworked, the old captain has also reduced the amount of food per person. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled. Of course, she knows that the hukou in the city is better than in the countryside, and at least there is basic security. Now ironmaking has also stopped. She was stupid to move her in-laws' hukou back.

Zhang Guoqing saw that Ping'an had been quietly playing with building blocks, and asked strangely: "Son, why didn't you leave in a hurry?" Not looking for little brothers? ”

Ping An raised his head and said, "I want sugar, don't play." After saying that, he immediately lowered his head and continued to pile up the blocks.

Zhang Guoqing reminisced for a while, "Your brother Shi asked you for candy, you don't like to play with them, right?" ”

"They don't have sugar, I don't play."

Zhou Jiao pursed her lips and smiled sullenly when she heard this.

"My son is amazing, and he knows how to trade at an equal price. Son, what gift do you want? ”

Zhou Jiao looked at the child with big eyes and frowned.

She explained with a smile: "Brother, he doesn't understand the equivalent transaction you said. Ping'an, the equivalent deal that Dad said will not be known until you are older. ”

"Well, son, what do you want?"

Ping An bared his baby teeth and pointed to the toy on the kang with a smile.

"Okay, Daddy will take you to the car to buy toys."

"Thank you, Dad."

Zhang Guoqing touched his head. I thought in my heart that it would be best to take the mother and wife to the provincial capital in advance, and it would be best to stay for one night and make a birthday cake to make the children happy.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaozheng is also discussing with Lin Lishan about the child's first birthday.

"Jiaojiao is afraid of trouble. You brought a bunch of people over, can she entertain you? If you think about the Cheng family, the Lin family and Zhao Chuanguang, they are a bunch of people, so many people have passed, and Xiao Wu's relatives must also have passed, so we must not be tired to death. ”

Lin Lishan looked at him with a sad face, hoping that he could give him an idea.

Her father had already told her to remember to inform everyone to go together, and even her sister-in-law mentioned it to her personally. Not to mention her little sister. If she hadn't pulled it desperately, the old man would have to go over this time.

Zhou Xiaozheng has always known that his grandson is safe and precocious, and his strength is very different from ordinary people. Now from Jiaojiao's letter, I found that the child is no longer precocious, and I don't want the child to appear in front of others.

He thinks the same as his daughter - let the child keep his strength as a hole card. As long as Ping An grows up well, he doesn't want his children to be eye-catching.

Zhou Xiaozheng thought about it for a while and said, "Otherwise, don't go over this time." Just make an excuse and tell everyone that you can't get through. Auntie and Ruzhu, I have made an appointment to wait for the child to return to Beijing. ”

Lin Lishan looked regretful and nodded without words.

"That's okay, I'll go find my aunt first. Zhao Chuanyao was going back to the Northeast in two days, and the child's first birthday gift happened to be brought back to him. You'll also see what else is left behind. ”

Lin Lishan looked at the back of her husband leaving, and the expectant eyes of Old Man Lin appeared in her mind.

At this moment, my sister's advice sounded in my ears: "Sister, this is an opportunity." Taking advantage of the child's first birthday, since the sister-in-law wants to go over and leave, the two families can slowly resume contact in the future, otherwise they will become more and more unfamiliar. But you have to see what your brother-in-law means. If he doesn't approve of it, forget it. ”

She scratched at her hair in anguish.

Why is this so complicated? Unable to travel?

Alas...... It's a pity that I can't discuss with the old lady anymore, otherwise I will worry about myself.

When Aunt Chen came out, she happened to see Lin Lishan with a wrinkled face, her hair scratched in a mess, and she kept kicking the ground with her right foot. She couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Lishan woke up, stroked her hair embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I can't go to the Northeast again." ”

She can't say that she has no one to discuss now, and no one to help her arrange it anymore. She's not stupid! If you say it, you will be laughed at to death. But I'm really used to looking for an old lady when I have something.

Alas....when will her Jiaojiao come home? As long as the child comes back, he won't have to worry about it in the future.

Zhou Jiao doesn't know her mother's thoughts at the moment, otherwise she must be speechless - who is her mother?

Aunt Chen comforted: "If you can't go, you can't go, you write more letters to Jiaojiao." Just enough to save up for the holidays, I can spend more time with my children in the future. ”

No matter how much calculation, helplessness, and sincerity there are in each family.

The days passed every day, ushering in the first year of peace.

"Grandma's shoes, grandma's socks, auntie's yellow coat."

The completely different customs of the south and the north have not affected everyone's love for children.

Since yesterday, people have been coming to the house one after another.

Although Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao repeatedly stated that they did not plan to hold a birthday wine.

But all the people who should have come came......

At this moment, the living room was crowded with people, and there were old man Lin, Dad Zhang, the head of the Zhang family, the old captain, the elders of the two clans, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and several relatives of the Zhang family.

Zhang Guoqing was beside him in front of the kang, surrounded by a group of relatives and friends.

Everyone is waiting for the safe catch in the middle of the kang.

A book, a brush, a seal, an abacus, a wooden warehouse, a money.....

"Son, start ....."

With Zhang Guoqing's order, Ping'an, who was dressed in red, looked up at Zhou Jiao in the crowd, saw her nodding with a smile, and quickly grabbed a piece of money, a seal, and a wooden warehouse and put it in his arms.

It caused everyone at the scene to laugh, and casually uttered all kinds of auspicious words and blessings.

Zhang Guoqing saw his son's eyes chasing after him, staring at the books in the hands of the old patriarch and the few novelties in the hands of the old captain.

Ouch... His son had a petty seizure.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly picked up his son and patted his son - this will not be able to shout, it is all mine. That's a goof!

Zhou Jiao heard everyone's speculation and blessings, and she smiled. Seeing that everything was over, she didn't care about saying a few more words to her mother and a group of female relatives, so she hurriedly followed the two eldest sisters to the kitchen to serve noodles.

In the kitchen, the oldest second grandmother in Zhangjia Village sat at the table, looking at the busy crowd with a smile, listening to everyone talk about the catch just now.

Catch the week...... She can't remember how many bowls of longevity noodles she has burned now, but the longevity noodles of Zhang Xiaowu and his son are really different.

If the family is harmonious, you will definitely live a long life. Just like her age, she can still enjoy her old age in peace, and everything will go smoothly.
