After playing in the aquarium for more than two hours, and going to a nearby restaurant to eat seafood, Zhou Jingcai sent the little beauty Li Siyan back to the provincial party committee compound, drove back to the second hospital of the medical university, and went to pick up Cheng Lulu sisters.

The reason why it was so late was that I hoped that the two sisters could accompany their seriously ill mother more, although Vice President Sun patted his chest and promised that he would find the best expert to consult and study a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan to ensure the success of the operation.

But common sense tells him that any surgery has a certain risk, and craniotomy to remove the tumor is undoubtedly a high-risk major operation, if there is an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable, therefore, not only to strive for the best results, but also to have the worst psychological preparation.

Entered the single ward, but saw the mother and daughter sitting on the edge of the bed talking, just had a drip, plus the operation had been settled, and saw the two daughters who thought about it day and night, Miao Chunxiu was in a very good mood, her complexion improved, and there was a faint flush on her originally pale cheeks, which made her look much more handsome.

Seeing Zhou Jing enter the room, she hurriedly got out of bed to greet her, but Zhou Jing walked a few steps quickly, stretched out her hand and signaled: "Aunt Miao, you don't have to be polite, what you need now is to recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry about other things, I will try my best to arrange it." ”

Miao Chunxiu smiled, glanced at him gratefully, then raised her hand and pushed down on the backs of the two children, and whispered: "Lulu, Tongtong, you go out first, I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhou." ”

Cheng Lulu was a little surprised, but she still nodded, pulled her sister out, and gently closed the door casually.

Seeing the two children leaving, Miao Chunxiu turned around, knelt at the head of the bed, kowtowed again and again, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Zhou, thank you so much!" ”

"I can't help it, Aunt Miao, hurry up, if you have something to say, don't do this!" Zhou Jing immediately panicked, hurriedly dodged, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said with a wry smile: "I can't afford such a salute, I will lose my life." ”

"Mr. Zhou, there are really few good people like you now." Miao Chunxiu sat up again, reached out from the bedside table, touched a note, held it with both hands and handed it over, and said sincerely: "This is an IOU, I want to give it to the manager of Jiayu's company, but she insists on refusing to accept it, so I can only hand it over to you." ”

Zhou Jing took the IOU, glanced at it, and saw that the font was beautiful, with the money received written on it, as well as the year, month and date, not only with a signature, but also with a fingerprint, he knew that the woman was very careful and strong, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Miao, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, we all want to help you sincerely, and we don't need to pay it back." ”

Miao Chunxiu stretched out her hand and swept the hair on her forehead, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head and said: "Then how can it be done, although we are poorer, but we have no merit, we can't accept this money in vain, after the operation, I will work hard and strive to pay back the money as soon as possible, if it is still worse, just wait for Lulu to go to work, and pay it back slowly." ”

Zhou Jing secretly admired, felt that although this woman was weak, she had a lot of backbone, in order not to dampen her self-esteem, she nodded, put away the IOU, and smiled: "That's fine, but don't be too reluctant, after the operation, you must rest in peace first, and wait for your body to fully recover, and then think about work." ”

Miao Chunxiu pursed her lips and smiled, glanced out the door, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, listen to Lulu, you are still working at China Merchants, right?" ”

"Yes, though, it's going to be transferred soon." Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "Auntie, in fact, my father works in an agricultural machinery factory, and he may know Lulu's father." ”

"Really?" Miao Chunxiu's face showed surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhou, what is your father's name?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "My name is Zhou Xueming, I have worked in the foundry workshop and the metalworking workshop, and I am an old man in the agricultural machinery factory!" ”

"Ah, are you a child of Master Zhou's family? No wonder! Miao Chunxiu suddenly screamed, with a surprised expression on her face.

Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, and said puzzledly: "Aunt Miao, do you know my father?" ”

Miao Chunxiu nodded with a smile, sighed again, and said softly: "How can I not know it, our family Lao Cheng, or Master Zhou brought it up, he has always respected Master Zhou, we used to be two of us, and I also went to your house to visit the door, but at that time, you seemed to be only six or seven years old, I said how did you meet, and I still feel a little familiar, but I dare not recognize it ()!" ”

Zhou Jing was also stunned, he didn't expect that the two families still had this relationship, so he smiled and said: "I was probably still living in the ancestral house at that time, and we only moved a few years ago!" ”

Miao Chunxiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yes, most of them didn't live in a building at that time, the yard was quite big, and there were four or five families living in it, your house was in the middle of the room, and there was an old locust tree at the door, but not long after I went, Lao Cheng passed away, and when I was taking care of the aftermath, Master Zhou also helped, you father and son, not only look alike, but also have the same good heart and eyes." ”

Zhou Jing was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and smiled, and said curiously: "Aunt Miao, how did Uncle Cheng die?" ”

"Well, something happened." Miao Chunxiu frowned slightly, a little sad color appeared on her cheeks, as if she didn't want to mention this topic, so she changed the conversation and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, in order to treat the disease, we sold the original house, and the house we live in now is indeed shabby, not very safe, and the two children moving to you will definitely cause you trouble." ”

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Aunt Miao, you don't have to worry, the two little guys are very obedient and won't have any trouble." ”

Miao Chunxiu sighed, shook her head and said, "That's not good, when I get better, I still have to take the children back." ”

Zhou Jing thought about it, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it then, after the New Year, I will say hello to Mr. Yang who has met the development zone, and arrange for you to go to work in the garment factory, you have been the workshop director in the hemp spinning factory, and it should be very suitable to work in the garment factory." ”

Miao Chunxiu was very grateful, covered her mouth with her hand, looked at Zhou Jing for a long time, and then said softly: "Thank you!" ”

The two talked for a while, Lulu knocked on the door with Tongtong and came in, Tongtong came to the bedside, snuggled in her mother's arms, but looked at Zhou Jing with her eyes, and whispered: "Brother Zhou Jing, I want to accompany my mother here, and I will go back tomorrow, okay?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can live here tonight, and Brother Zhou Jing will come to pick you up tomorrow ()." ”

Miao Chunxiu shook her head and said with a smile: "You don't have to run back and forth, Lulu, Tongtong, the two of you go back with Mr. Zhou, my mother will return to Qingyang after the operation next week, and take you home, you two must be obedient and don't cause trouble to others." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Mom!" Tongtong was extremely happy and agreed with a smile.

Cheng Lulu looked a little unhappy, and secretly glanced at Zhou Jing, and a complicated color flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Miao Chunxiu hurriedly urged the three of them to return, so as not to delay for a long time, and it was even more unsafe to walk at night, Zhou Jing took the two sisters downstairs, got into the car, and drove back to Qingyang, and when they got home, it was already half past eleven o'clock at night.

He took a shower, returned to the bedroom, touched his mobile phone, called Li Jiani, the two made a phone porridge, at most a month, they will meet, but at this time it is the most difficult, but there is a feeling of living like a year.

Half an hour later, just put down the mobile phone, the door was gently pushed open, Cheng Lulu flashed in, she was still only wearing underwear and underwear, her hair was still a little damp, as if she had just taken a shower, after entering the house, without a moment of hesitation, she quickly came to the bed, lifted the quilt, and quickly got in.

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Lulu, didn't you already talk about it, don't come over again." ”

Cheng Lulu giggled, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I know that you don't allow it in your mouth, but you like it in your heart." ”

Zhou Jing was a little speechless, sighed, and whispered: "Lulu, to be honest, how old are you?" ”

Cheng Lulu pursed her lips and said stupidly: "I have said it a long time ago, I am already an adult." ”

Zhou Jing snorted and lowered his voice: "You are only in the second year of junior high school, according to your age, you should only be fourteen years old, how can you become an adult?" ”

Cheng Lulu frowned slightly, held her pretty face in her hand, and said, "But I'm the tallest in the class, and they all say that I look like a high school student." ”

Zhou Jing sighed, turned around, and ignored her, but a pair of cold little hands reached over and stroked him gently on his back, Zhou Jing secretly felt funny, and said in a low voice: "Sleep, don't be naughty!" ”

"Is it because of your young age?" Lulu turned over and held her chin with her hand, with a look of confusion on her pretty face.

Zhou Jing snorted and said, "No, it's not good." ”

Cheng Lulu showed a sad look on her face, mustered up her courage, and whispered: "But I like you!" ”

"Like?" Zhou Jing smiled, turned around, frowned at her, and said softly: "You are still young, where can you understand emotional things, it's really funny." ”

Cheng Lulu stretched out her little hand, touched his chest, and said a little shyly: "I don't know what to be afraid of, you can teach me." ”

Zhou Jing grabbed her little hand, put it to the side, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't think nonsense, go to bed early." ”

Cheng Lulu nodded, lay on the pillow sideways, pulled his arm, and whispered: "Brother Xiaojing, you still sleep with me like last night, it feels very warm and comfortable." ”

Zhou Jing smiled, obeyed her wishes, held Lulu in his arms, kissed her forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "This is the last night, do you know?" ”

"No way!" Cheng Lulu put her head into his arms, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "In this life, I will follow you, if I can't be a wife, I will be a lover, a lover for life." ”

"Lover?" Zhou Jing smiled dumbly, touched her wet hair, and said in a low voice: "How can you understand this at your age?" ”

"Of course I do." Cheng Lulu blinked, and a shy smile appeared on her face.

"That's not realistic, let's go to sleep!" Zhou Jing patted her on the back, her mood became extraordinarily peaceful, and she soon fell asleep soundly.

The next afternoon, Zhou Jing went to the bank, took out 200,000 yuan from the card, put it in the briefcase, drove to his parents' house, and took out the money in front of the two of them and threw it on the coffee table, which surprised Zhou Xueming and his wife.

"Xiaojing, where did this money come from?" The couple glanced at each other, Yuan Xiuhua's face became a little ugly, and she said nervously: "It's not that the public funds of the unit have been embezzled, right?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said softly: "No, some time ago, I partnered with friends in the provincial capital to do some small business, and now the market is not bad, and I got some shares." ”

"What kind of business would be so easy to do?" Zhou Xueming picked up a stack of money, fiddled with it casually, and said in a solemn tone: "Xiaojing, you are now a party member and cadre, you must be strict with yourself, and you must not give away your future because you are greedy for money." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, it's just a jade business, with a small profit and no risk." ”

Yuan Xiuhua sighed and said softly: "It's good if you didn't take it from the small treasury, save this money, let's save it for him, if it doesn't follow the rules, we will return it later." ”

"Yes, the money will not be moved for now." Zhou Xueming also nodded, and reminded again: "It's more important to do your job, don't be distracted by business matters, there is no shortage of money at home, the whole family lives in peace of mind, and peace and security are better than anything else." ”

"Yes." Zhou Jing put on a cigarette, took a few puffs, and asked softly: "Dad, among the workers in the agricultural machinery factory, is there anyone surnamed Cheng, or your apprentice, who died a few years ago." ”

Zhou Xueming picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and pondered: "There is such a person, Xiao Cheng is quite honest, but unfortunately, he was killed at a young age, and when he died, his youngest daughter seemed to be less than two years old." ”

Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Killed, what do you mean?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, it's a shame." Zhou Xueming put down the cup and frowned: "His wife, who seems to be very beautiful, is famous in the original hemp spinning factory, and calls her Tofu Shih, who was targeted by a ruffian, not only went to the factory to entangle, but also always went to the house to harass, Xiao Cheng was angry, so he found two co-workers and went to the man to settle accounts, but he didn't expect that the man was prepared in advance, and stabbed him with a knife, Xiao Cheng died on the spot, and a worker was injured, and the man ran away, as if he had not been caught. ”

Zhou Jing frowned and said in a low voice: "There is such a thing." ”

Zhou Xueming smiled and said softly: "It's not all, after Xiao Cheng died, the woman had an embarrassing life, so she went to the leader of the agricultural machinery factory, hoping that the factory leader could arrange a job, but at that time, the director of the factory was the old grandson, and when he saw it, he wanted to get stuck with people through the work of things, and after a meeting, he was going to do bad things in the office, and the woman was also strong, desperately resisted, not only beat his head straight with an ashtray and bleed, but also almost bit off half of his ear. The old grandson was also dealt with because of this matter, and within half a year, he retired early. ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Good bite, this kind of guy who robs while the fire is burning should suffer a little." ”

Zhou Xueming was a little puzzled, and said curiously: "It's been a matter of many years, it's so dignified, why did you suddenly mention him?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled and told the general story of the matter, of course, some details were hidden, and he only said that he wanted to help them when he saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful.

Zhou Xueming listened to it, and he also agreed very much, chatted for a while, and suddenly mentioned Niu Li's matter, saying that he has been very abnormal recently, and always talks about Wang Yannian's in private, listening to the tone, it seems that he has been deceived by Mayor Wang.

Zhou Jing didn't talk much, he only didn't know the situation, and he also told his father not to send a message out, so as not to cause trouble, even if Wang Yannian has more wrong, but he still has the grace of knowing himself, this must not be forgotten, and he must always help maintain his image.

Zhou Xueming naturally nodded yes, played a few games of chess with Zhou Jing, and asked Yuan Xiuhua to cook a few side dishes, opened a bottle of Lao Baigan, poured two glasses of wine, and the family gathered around the dining table, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and they enjoyed a rare family dinner.
