After having supper and saying good night, the family went back to their rooms.

After washing, Zhou Jiao applied skin care lotion on her face in front of the mirror on the dressing table and patted it a few times. She caught a glimpse of Zhang Guoqing looking at her from the corner of her eye and gave him a wink.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing leaned back exaggeratedly and rolled on the bed, "It's over, I'm poisoned again."

Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, stood up, walked over to the bed and patted him, "Confess and you'll get leniency. What were you mumbling to Dad just now?"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Guoqing grabbed her with his big hands, lifted the quilt in his arms, rolled to the side and covered himself with the quilt, played with the delicate hands of the person in his arms, and briefly described the story in a low voice.

"Oh, that's it. I thought you were telling tales on me."

"You little heartless girl, your brother can't even begin to love you enough."

Zhang Guoqing let go of her hand, and couldn't help but reach out to ruffle her black hair. Before she was about to get angry, he withdrew his hand.

"Bah, you stinky rascal."

Looking at the lazy person in his arms who looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, Zhang Guoqing chuckled and wrapped his arms around him tightly, lowered his head to his neck and took a deep breath.

"itch."

It’s really fatal!

Zhang Guoqing patted her butt and said, "Go to sleep quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow."

Zhou Jiao didn't dare to get into trouble, so she quickly said yes and moved to find a comfortable position. "Then I can go this weekend. You have to do your business."

"No need. I'll ask Xiao Zhu to send something over later."

Zhou Jiao hesitated and asked, "Will it be bad?"

"Aren't you going tonight? It's not right for me, as an uncle, to visit my niece's wife. I can just let him go when he returns to school on the May Day weekend."

"So you're not going to school tonight?"

Zhang Guoqing's face turned awkward, and he immediately threatened: "Looks like you don't need to sleep tonight."

"Alright, you're so generous." Zhou Jiao immediately begged for mercy. Having just finished her period, she didn't dare to stir up trouble. "You still haven't told me whether you've gotten through to Second Brother on the phone."

Zhang Guoqing patted her with amusement, "If I hadn't listened to your call, I could have driven to catch up with you. It's not easy to come here. From what my second brother said, my second sister-in-law has some unfinished business."

"Are you still making clothes to sell?"

"It should be. It's hard to say over the phone. If you ask me, it doesn't matter if you can't come for a while. Why rush when you just got pregnant? But I see that my second brother is so happy that he even plans to let Mai Qing come over to take care of his sister-in-law first."

Zhou Jiao didn't have time to laugh at his double standards and hurriedly asked, "The child is still in school, isn't this nonsense?"

"I tried to persuade him, but he also had his own plans. He wanted Shitou and his wife to tutor Mai Qing nearby."

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.

It's better to say they favor boys over girls! She's worried about what will happen if this baby is a girl. She's going to have family planning soon, and she's afraid she won't be able to have more children in a row.

Zhang Lao Er is good in every way except this! Why doesn't he see how filial Mai Sui is? If it were her, she would definitely not wholeheartedly help her parents.

But thinking of Mai Sui, Zhou Jiao actually forgot to mention, "Does Mai Sui have a boyfriend? When I came over to school this time, I looked at her face and it seems like she's in love."

Zhang Guoqing couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

Zhou Jiao angrily punched him a few times, "I'm being serious."

"Yes, seriously, haha... Wife, you are such a treasure. Have you started reading some Four Pillars, I Ching, Eight Trigrams or other miscellaneous books lately?"

Zhou Jiao chuckled. "You don't need to read the book, you can tell from the expression. I just don't know what boys are like. I've asked Wuyi to keep a close eye on them."

"That girl is very cunning. Ordinary people can't fool her."

"I hope so."

Zhou Jiao was reluctant to comment on her niece's marriage. If they had known each other in the capital, it would have been only six months, which was too short a time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reminded her son to keep an eye on her.

Nieces and daughters are different after all.

If it were her daughter, she would never let her child believe in love at first sight. How could a relationship that has not been tested withstand the test of time?

"Speaking of the child's marriage, let me warn you that our Ping An seems to treat Pang Ya a little differently."

Zhou Jiao opened her mouth slightly in surprise, "You mean the girl from the Qu family? How come I didn't notice it?"

Zhang Guoqing patted her on the shoulder with a smile, "How could you, who is so emotionally dull and doesn't even know how many men are chasing after you, see this?"

He finally understood why people said that no one is perfect, but this was not a shortcoming of his wife, so he was still very satisfied with her.

"Tell me what you noticed. Normally, the other kids play together, and I don't think Ping An has anything special about her."

Zhang Guoqing smiled playfully, "My son is very secretive. Don't say you didn't notice. If I hadn't heard Wuyi say that his elder brother often inquired about his school affairs, I wouldn't have paid much attention to it."

Zhou Jiao blinked.

She knew that the girl from the Qu family was a schoolmate of Wuyi, but this reason was a bit too involved. However, for her man to say this, there must be something going on.

"Wuyi, the chatterbox, said that at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Before school started, the three brothers were chatting in the living room and mentioned that someone's kid had been beaten with a club.

As a result, our Ping An said, "Serves you right. How dare anyone think about it." I was surprised at the time and asked what was going on.

I heard that the young man who was pestering the girl from the Qu family was attacked by someone, so I casually asked why they couldn't find him. But guess what happened to your eldest son?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said, "Our Ping An has a bad habit. If he lies to us, his right toe will unconsciously move outward."

Zhou Jiao glanced at him disapprovingly and said with a smile, "That doesn't prove anything. They grew up together, and we don't have any girls, so they have a very good relationship. Even if Ping An took action, it doesn't mean that he likes him. Maybe the boy has bad character."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her amusedly. "How could you not know what kind of person your son is? Is he a nosy person? And he doesn't even know about his two younger brothers?"

"Then why didn't he tell us? If he likes her, he might be worried about someone else snatching her away. It's okay to get engaged first. Anyway, the little girl has been saying she wants to marry Ping An since she was little, so childhood sweethearts are a good fit."

"You don't understand. He probably has feelings for her, but it's not yet confirmed. My son must have remembered what you said about targeting someone and observing for a while."

Zhou Jiao thought about it and realized that it made some sense. Given her son's scheming, he wouldn't put himself in a passive position until he was 100% sure of the candidate.

"Whether it's true or not, just pretend you don't know. Things are changing so much out there right now. In a few years, the girl from the Qu family might fall in love with someone else. We'll see then."

"When we were little, we played the game of snatching the groom from the bridegroom. We even beat up those little girls. No matter how I think about it, it's unreliable. Forget it, no matter who it is, I'll wait until he brings him back to me in the future."

"Okay. Be good, close your eyes and go to sleep."

Zhang Guoqing smiled silently and patted her back gently. How could she understand a man's thoughts? His son was obviously attracted to her and was protecting her like a spoiled brat, not allowing anyone else to touch her.
