"One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people." There are all kinds of things in the world, and there are all kinds of people living in this world.

Some people live for their conscience, and more people live for themselves.

At the critical moment, Mr. Lin spread the word: Gu Ruyi was worried that the eldest granddaughter's death would make her eldest daughter-in-law depressed after losing her husband, so she concealed the truth and adopted a baby girl as a substitute.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao had just returned to the compound. When they heard the rumor, they felt really sorry for the old man! He had fought so hard for his descendants.

This news shocked the crowd, some were convinced, some were skeptical. But Mr. Lin was even more outrageous, he finally posted a photo of a small grave mound.

If the Lin family had not been willing to bow to Zhou Xiaozheng for the sake of their eldest granddaughter, even Zhang Guoqing would have suspected that he had wronged a good person.

But no matter what, once the so-called evidence from back then was confirmed, it was already a foregone conclusion. As they say, life is a play, and play is life.

The Lin family not only likes to adopt their eldest daughter, but also their eldest granddaughter. Many old ladies wonder if this is related to superstitious feng shui?

In the living room, Lin Lishan's eyes were confused. "Don't tell me, that child really doesn't look like her mother. But we still have to see what my sister-in-law says. Uh, what does Chen Jingru say? Doesn't she recognize her own daughter?"

A smile flashed in Zhou Jiao's eyes.

Zhou Xiaozheng took the opportunity to defeat his daughter and said, "We won!"

"Dad, you're cheating!"

"This is to tell you that anything is possible! If you didn't look like your grandmother, believe it or not, you would have become Lin Aiguo's daughter in a matter of seconds."

Without waiting for Zhou Jiao to respond, Lin Lishan shouted, "How old is she? How old is our Jiaojiao? How is that possible!"

Zhou Jiao laughed and said, "Mom, reality is so terrifying. Nothing is impossible. If he says it is, it is true! Can you argue with him about the ring?"

Seeing his wife trying to argue, Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled and waved his hand to stop her. He was too lazy to waste his breath on these people.

"Did you pass the exam?"

Zhou Jiao nodded.

"Do you have any plans for the future? I heard that we're going to take you to the grassroots for internship this semester?"

"Well, they say there will be one, but we have to wait for the school to announce it." Zhou Jiao had no doubt how her father knew. Nonsense, it would be strange if her father didn't keep an eye on the school!

Zhou Xiaozheng frowned, "Do you want to change places? I plan to move Xiaowu to the army."

Zhou Jiao put down her hand, was silent for a moment, and shook her head: "I can do it alone. We will take different paths in the future, so it's impossible for us to be assigned to the same unit."

Lin Lishan seemed to understand, "Where are you going this time? How long will you be gone? And Xiaowu is going to join the army? Didn't you say you would follow the child?"

Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Jiao patted the anxious Lin Lishan and patiently replied, "It's just a change of internship location. I still have two years to graduate, so I won't discuss assignments right now. I'll be away from Beijing for more than a month this time. Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

"Why are you so hard-working? Is it appropriate for a little girl like you to go out of town? Do you know where to go? I'll make arrangements in advance."

Zhou Jiao shook her head. "No need! There are a lot of people going there, and it's not good to have a special influence. The place is either the southwest or the south, and I think the south is more likely."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Xiaozheng hesitantly, "Dad, are you sure you don't need to go to the northwest?"

"Didn't I tell you? Stop worrying about these trivial things. Be more careful when you go out!"

Lin Lishan shook her head and sighed, "Why would you go to university? You might as well go to the art troupe with your mom. If a little girl doesn't sing or dance, isn't it tiring to learn all this every day?"

Zhou Jiao smiled but didn't argue. How could they be the same? If she was just going to live a life of idleness and wait for death, wouldn't it be better for her not to work? With this diploma, she wouldn't have to worry about her father being attacked no matter where she worked. If she wanted to go to a remote place to train like her sisters, she had to consider whether she was willing to do so.

To be an outsider, you need not only background but also ability. It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to make people understand that you are more valuable than ordinary people.

Just as Zhou Jiao thought, her value has been reflected since she received the reward.

Among her group of children, except for those who were sent to brother countries for further studies, most of them were fostered in their rural hometowns. You can imagine how conspicuous her excellence is.

As someone who values ​​talent and calls himself a talent scout, Shi Dashen thought deeply about it and when he was reporting to his old leader, the old leader accidentally mentioned Zhou Xiaozheng and told him everything about Zhou Jiao.

The old man nodded at him and said with a smile, "You're up to something, be careful or he'll beat you up. It's said that he treasures this daughter the most. But having a child like this is indeed worth cherishing. We, as parents, really owe our children too much."

Shi Dashen straightened his back and waited for his decision. For the sake of the country and future generations, everyone had endured this way.

"Talent should be valued. Instead of hiring someone whose background is unknown, it's better to train your own child. Let's do this. Let her go to school and work at the same time, let her participate in some activities, and then see where she is suitable for development."

Shi Dashen smiled upon hearing this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Old Chief, this is a good decision!" As for Brother Zhou, I have a clear conscience.

"That guy hasn't been here for quite some time except for meetings. What's he been busy with lately?"

"Reporting to the chief, Lao Zhou just returned from a business trip not long ago and is now often working overtime."

"Well, he's a hard-working kid who strives for perfection in everything he does. Tell him to get more rest and bring the kids over when he has time."

Being able to make the old man remember him, Brother Zhou's favor will never fade! This is good, those who are laughing at the joke can shut up. Shi Dashen felt unfair for his partner. What does the Lin family's troubles have to do with Brother Zhou?

He wanted to mention these things, but seeing the old leader's tired face, he swallowed his words. State affairs were more important, so he should not bother the old man with these personal matters.

Zhou Xiao was enjoying the happiness of family life in the compound, but he didn't expect that the big Buddha behind him still cared about him, and his old brother had arranged a daughter for him.

This life is just as Ping An said: "Grandma said I am a lucky little guy, and I think so too."

"Then you have to pay attention to your diet and not be careless. You're right to listen to your mother. No matter how hot it is, you can't eat popsicles."

"Grandpa, this isn't Popsicle's fault. Uncle Xiaoyu just didn't exercise. My dad made him start running every day."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted the child's butt and said, "Don't quibble! Do you think grandpa doesn't know that silly boy spent all his pocket money on popsicles? He doesn't know how to restrain himself, so no matter how many pills your dad gives him, it's useless."

Ping An chuckled guiltily.

"Don't be so stupid!"

Zhou Jiao was eating supper on the side, watching her family gathered together laughing and talking happily, and secretly vowed to never let this wonderful life be ruined.
