"Sister, hahahaha... May Day is here, and he is by my side now."

The phone rang, and as soon as Zhou Jiao picked up the receiver, she heard Miao Tianming's excited laughter.

"Why did you really run so far to pick him up?"

"That's convenient. School hasn't started yet where I am. Sister, let's not talk about this anymore. Everything is going well here. On May Day, here, talk to your mom."

Zhou Jiao waved nervously to Zhang Guoqing and Miao Lishan, not daring to move the phone next to her ear for fear of missing her youngest son's voice.

"Mom, this is Wuyi. I've already contacted my uncle, and the school has made arrangements. We're both in a hotel near the school right now, and everything is OK."

"That's good. You must remember what Mom told you."

"clear."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her nervous expression with amusement: She was just stubborn. She said her son had grown up and it was time to let him go out and explore the world, and she even laughed at herself as an old hen protecting her chicks!

"Let Mom answer the phone first."

"Oh, by the way, talk to your grandma first." Zhou Jiao handed Miao Lishan the phone. "Mom, tell her not to worry. Everything is fine at home."

Miao Lishan didn't care about her daughter at all. She ignored her and picked up the phone, laughing before saying anything, "I'm your grandma. You're with your uncle. Do you have enough money?

Ask your uncle to give you some money first, so you don't have to worry about not having enough. You don't need tickets abroad, you can buy whatever you want if you have money, so don't let yourself get away with it."

"Grandma, I have money and everything I need, but I miss you. Do you miss me? Is my grandpa home? Where is my dad? Have my brothers come back to accompany you?"

"Take your time, there's no rush. Your grandpa hasn't finished get off work yet. He said you might have to call home on the weekend after you've settled in. Your dad is right here, but your brothers just got to work and can't come back. Everything is fine at home, so be careful out there and call home if anything happens."

"Okay, don't get too tired. If you want to go to the Friendship Store, ask Sister Sheng Mei and the others to accompany you. Don't be reluctant to use them. As a daughter-in-law of our family, the first thing you have to do is remember to serve you, right?"

Miao Lishan laughed as she held the phone, "Of course, what my grandson said could be wrong? Isn't that girl Xiaojiu by your side?"

"She went to her school early, and so did Xiaoyu and the others. Even though we're all in the same country, we're still quite far away from each other. Fortunately, transportation is convenient. Once they're settled in, I'll ask them to stay out as much as possible."

"Okay, stay out of school if you have nothing to do. Remember to find a classmate to accompany you when you go out, and be careful. Where's your uncle? I'll talk to him."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head helplessly. He hadn't even spoken to his son yet.

Zhou Jiao glanced at him amusedly and said, "Wait, it will be your turn soon."

It didn't take long for Miao Lishan and Miao Tianming to tell him to take better care of his grandson, and soon it was Zhang Guoqing's turn to take the phone.

"Xiao Ming, Wuyi is a grown man now, he can handle it himself. As for you, focus on your work and don't slack off on your studies. Just leave some extra money for that kid."

"Uncle, did you hear that? My dad doesn't feel sorry for me at all. Dad, I miss you so much. If I wasn't afraid of being embarrassed, I would buy a plane ticket and run back to be with you."

"Look, you laughed at me back then. Brother Wu, don't worry. My dad and the others specifically asked me to come here and settle Wuyi first."

"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of my personal affairs before school starts. You should make sure to get more rest at home. Don't always drink cold water when you get home, and don't always like to drink tea before going to bed.

Remember to take my grandpa to bed when it’s time, don’t always go home and work. When the weather gets cooler, don’t go out without me by your side and exercise in the morning...”

After receiving his son's advice, although his talkative son had said these things countless times, Zhang Guoqing was still so happy that his mouth became wider and wider and he laughed continuously.

After the call ended, Miao Lishan and Zhou Jiao, mother and daughter, were beaming, just like him. The May Day call finally put their minds at ease.

Especially since Miao Lishan understood the implication of her nephew's words, with the Miao family taking care of her, she really didn't worry at all about any inconvenience her grandson would encounter abroad.

She loved to celebrate whenever she was happy, and quickly asked Aunt Chen to cook a few more dishes.

The days go by.

Whenever he has free time on weekends, he would either call me on May Day or go home safely on Children's Day. During this period, Qu Shengmei and Yi Tangtang would often come to visit him.

Life suddenly returned to normal.

Along with letters from home, letters from abroad often contained pieces of international market information and flew into Zhou Jiao's hands continuously.

Not to mention the ever-changing international market, even this ancient capital has emerged from a state of disrepair and is undergoing rapid changes.

Especially with the establishment of the Jiuzhou Port Special Economic Zone, this year was the most intense year for the capital-society debate and also the year when a turning point occurred.

The collision between new and old ideas cannot prevent more and more young people with ideals from flocking to the local area.

Just at this time, a letter from my hometown arrived.

It’s neither Zhang Dad’s nor Zhang Laoer’s.

Zhang Qingshan filled several sheets of letter paper with the grand ideals of his next generation of nephews - they wanted to venture into the south and asked Zhang Guoqing if it was feasible?

feasible?

Of course it is possible.

The problem is that the railway is still cracking down on second-hand dealers. What should he do if he gets caught? Not only does he go to rescue people, but he also mobilizes a large force.

Ask Geng Dazhi for help?

It really feels like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.

After some thought, he decided to discuss it with his wife.

Zhou Jiao decisively refused: "No help! You, a soldier, what do you know? Wuyi, the one who knows how to make money in our family, is abroad. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

Shameless Zhang Guoqing nodded in agreement, "That's right, how would I know how to do business?"

Zhou Jiao, who was leaning on the bed, couldn't help laughing and kicked him.

Zhang Guoqing smiled as he grabbed her foot, squeezed it, and smiled at her, "Wife, if I refuse this time, I'll really offend a lot of people. If we run into any problems in the future, we won't be able to ask those people back home for help. You better think about it."

"What do you want them to do for you?" Zhou Jiao glanced at him. "Haven't you helped those people back home enough? You've done what you should have done. Those who remember your kindness won't complain. As for those ungrateful ones, even if we really need help, will they be happy to help you?"

As she spoke, she frowned. "Besides, why do they have to go to the South? Isn't a juice factory enough for them? They don't know how to utilize such a good resource. What do they want to do?"

In fact, the answer was clear to both of them, without them having to say it out loud. They were asking for advice, but they simply wanted Zhang Guoqing to find someone in the south to take care of this younger generation.

Well, of course it would be best to provide some funding.
