Zhou Jiao knew exactly what her man was thinking, but the housing reform policy was still a long way off, so she covered her mouth and laughed.

Or Miao Lishan accidentally exposed it: "Your father gave up the room, but your mother got a new apartment in the city with three large rooms."

Zhou Xiaozheng immediately cleared his throat and stood up. "Now that you have some free time, come with me to the study. Xiaowu, tell the children about the 100 million."

joke!

How could his family be so bad?

His wife dug a hole, and now he has to fill it up!

Zhang Guoqing immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand and pushed his father-in-law towards the study. He had an unreliable mother-in-law, but fortunately, he had a father-in-law who could hold him together.

Ping An laughed and shook his head, pulling his grandmother up. "Why would I give it to my mom? We still have to pay rent. There are only a few of us in our family. Who's going to live there?"

"Your mother has to refuse this time. She's already pushed it back a few times before. If she pushes it again, it will be difficult for the people below to handle the matter. The rent is not much."

It’s not that they are difficult to do the job, we would rather have someone else.

Only his grandmother believes this nonsense!

Ping'an didn't care about these trivial matters and hugged his grandma into the study.

Anyway, his parents would not give anyone any handle in what they did. Their purpose was nothing more than for the three brothers. A few rents were nothing.

Liuyi, who was standing behind him, glanced at his mother with a puzzled look, then pushed her to the study.

Although he didn't know his father's purpose, he wouldn't believe it if there was no other meaning. Didn't he see that his mother's smile had a hidden meaning!

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly and decided to go back and give her husband a good scolding. In this family, except for her mother, everyone was as cunning as a sieve.

Be careful not to reveal your vest!

Winter nights seem more peaceful and happy with my son coming home.

Under the orange light, Zhou Jiao looked at her sons who were listening attentively, her eyes becoming softer, but when she glanced at the phone, a glint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

It was pitch black outside the window, the wind was still blowing, and the falling snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger. It should be daytime on May Day at this moment, and I wonder if she has put on more clothes?

After listening to this, Liuyi fell into silence. Thinking of his comrades who died or were injured fighting alongside him, he slowly let out a breath.

"Dad, please save a few more spots for me."

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in the room.

It was Zhang Guoqing who nodded solemnly, breaking the solemn silence in the room. "Now that the project has been approved, what kind of factory do you think would be best?"

"medicine!"

Ping An nodded in agreement. "Chinese patent medicine! My mother made frostbite cream and wound medicine. Our comrades all say it's very effective."

"No one can predict what will happen in the future. Since this factory is state-owned, we must keep the core of it in our own hands just in case."

Liuyi said, glancing at Zhou Jiao, "My mother has a prescription."

Zhou Xiaozheng knocked on the table with a smile in his eyes, "Anything else you need to add?"

Liuyi glanced at everyone and continued, "Let my master take charge first, and my uncles should also join in. As for my mother, she will have to work hard first, so that people can understand.

She is the founder of this factory, and every blade of grass and every tree is a selfless contribution from our family."

Zhou Xiaozheng's smile gradually blossomed. "Anything else?"

Liuyi glanced at Ping'an apologetically and said, "Brother, it would be best if the factory was located near your **** regiment."

Ping An patted his shoulder and said, "No problem, it's safe over there."

"That's all I've considered for now. Brother, what else do you think needs to be added?"

"Funds, personnel, machinery, and raw materials—since these aren't issues, that's about it. The only thing left is the foundation. I suggest postponing it for now."

"Do you want to wait until the factory is profitable?"

"Yes! The profit planning will be more specific and detailed."

"That makes sense. Once grandma and mom show up, some donors will appear." Liuyi narrowed his eyes, "And by then there will be a lot of involvement."

"That's right. If you want to pick peaches, you have to climb the tree first."

As soon as the two brothers finished speaking, they smiled at each other, their eyes expressing their unfinished words.

Zhou Xiaozheng raised his chin proudly towards his son-in-law: Did you see that?

Zhang Guoqing suddenly burst out laughing, "Dad, then it's passed?"

"I voted for it."

"Mom, what about you?"

Miao Lishan was confused, but she understood one thing: "So, does that mean I don't have to retire first?"

"Grandma, don't go to work anymore. It's too hard."

"Don't worry, let grandma decide for herself." Ping An interrupted Liu Yi and looked at Miao Lishan, "Grandma, just follow your own preferences."

Miao Lishan smiled and shook her head. "I've been doing this all my life and I'm tired of it. What your mother said is quite interesting. It can help more veterans."

"My grandma is so ideologically conscious, she's worthy of being a veteran revolutionary," Ping An praised her with a thumbs-up. "Then she'll definitely vote in favor, right?"

"Well, nothing to say."

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing with amusement and nodded. Even if her son had only suggested postponing the game, she would have voted in favor even if he had suggested not playing at all.

"It's decided then. Construction will begin in the spring of next year." Zhang Guoqing worriedly told his son, "I've already allocated the 50 million to the research institute. If anyone mentions it, remember to keep it secret."

Sure enough, the Ping An brothers nodded.

Is there any need to say this? If they dare to ask, they should ask each other if they understand the confidentiality code. Do you really think these two brothers are vegetarians?

Seeing that they had finished their business, Zhou Jiao pointed outside and left first.

When her son likes to hide his health condition from her, she pretends to be ignorant. But she still has to prepare the medicinal food. If she doesn't take good care of herself when she is young, what will happen when she gets old?

Don't think she didn't notice Zhang Guoqing had been stealing glances at the two children. He must have been injured somewhere during the mission. You have your own plan, but I have my own way.

They are all troublesome people!

Zhou Jiao went up to the second floor and was the first to push open the door to Ping'an's room.

——He hung a new coat in the closet, put some clothes in, touched the thick quilt on the bed, and finally stuffed a large wooden box at the end of the bed with snacks.

After a round of inspection, she smiled with satisfaction, closed the door after leaving, then pushed open the door of the 61st bedroom on the partition wall and repeated the process again.

In her mind, no matter how tall or strong her son grows, he is still a child.

Before they got married, she had to go to their respective bedrooms more often. In the future, she wouldn't be able to open the door at will.

It’s quite sad to think about it, that such a good son has become someone else’s.

Maybe one day, his mind will be so focused on his own family that he will no longer have time to care about her, his biological mother.

But is there any way?

Just as her mother-in-law said.

In the future, it will be their respective partners who will accompany the children until they grow old. No matter how reluctant she is, she will not be able to protect her children until they grow old.

If you love, love deeply.

Learn to let go, learn to watch, and learn to take every role in life seriously.

She should be able to do it, right?
