"Baby, Daddy is here to pick you up."

Before Zhang Guoqing, the loud-mouthed man, came in, his voice came first. The twins were so happy that they hurried to the door and had close contact with Zhang Guoqing who had lifted the cotton curtain.

Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to pick them up, pointing to his body, "Dad is shivering all over, wait a little longer before holding the babies."

The Liuyi brothers took a step forward and looked behind him, "Where's my brother?"

"It's too cold outside. Dad asked your brother to wait for us over there." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Jiao eagerly and suddenly smiled: "Sister, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as a flower."

Sister Wang was watching the fun. Zhang Guoqing was wearing a military uniform and coat, bending down and coaxing the children in a soft voice. The contrast made her laugh.

"Why didn't you go to the wedding today? Your man was always there. He was so naughty. Why didn't you pull his ears?"

"Really? Then help me out and beat him up!"

"Don't you feel bad? I won't do this. You'll curse me in your heart all day long."

Zhou Jiao looked speechlessly at Sister Wang, who was laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking.

"Wife, the banquet is about to start. Shall we go first?"

Zhou Jiao stood up and nodded, "Sister Wang, do you want to come with us?"

"I'm at work so I can't go over. If you're free tonight, come over to my house. We can still stay in the same dormitory."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded. As for where the original dormitory was? She had never been there. But knowing it was useless; she couldn't get there anyway.

"Jiaojiao, wait here for a moment. I'll go start the car first. Come out when you hear the starter. It's cold outside."

Sister Wang looked at Zhang Guoqing who had just fled and said to Zhou Jiao enviously, "Xiao Wu still treats you like his own sweetheart. Your life is worth it."

Zhou Jiao smiled.

"For so many people, dating is one thing, getting married is another, and having kids is yet another. There aren't many good men left."

"Talking too deeply with someone you're not close to is a wise man's duty." This means it's foolish to have a deep conversation with someone you're not close enough to. Furthermore, Zhou Jiao didn't think she knew the other person well enough to broach the subject of affection.

Fortunately, the other party was distracted for a while after expressing his feelings, and Zhang Guoqing also started the car. Otherwise, the awkward atmosphere would have made Zhou Jiao uncomfortable.

After driving for a while, Zhou Jiao glanced at her two sons and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with them?"

"I didn't notice. What's the matter?"

"without."

Zhang Guoqing didn't believe it. Maybe Sister Wang had said something to Zhou Jiao just now, but it had nothing to do with him and his wife, so why bother with so much?

"Our family Ping'an received several red envelopes, and the little guy is very happy now."

"The money-grubber nature cannot be concealed."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head. "My son is a good guy. He secretly told me that the three brothers would share it. Why didn't he tell me that he would give me one?"

Zhou Jiao gritted her teeth when she heard this. What a father should do.

"Dad, I will give you all the red envelopes I have in the future."

"I love dad the most. I'll give you all the red envelopes I have."

Zhang Guoqing laughed heartily. "Thank you, sons. Dad is waiting for you to be filial. Darlings, there are many people in our old house, right? It's fun, right?"

"It's not fun. I want to go home."

"Yeah, I want to go home too. I miss my kids."

Seeing Zhang Guoqing being slapped in the face, Zhou Jiao laughed with joy. If Zhang Guoqing heard the opinions of all the people the two brothers had just discussed, he would probably vomit blood.

"Why? Look, besides grandpa and grandma, there are many brothers and sisters."

Wuyi looked at his mother and pouted.

Liuyi on his left blurted out, "I don't like them. They took a lot of our things and left us nothing."

Wuyi looked at his brother and said, "So many big bags, all gone."

Zhang Guoqing pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned to look at his two sons. "Jiaojiao, do you think what they said seems familiar?"

Zhou Jiao glanced at him.

"I remember when Ping'an was this age, he was not happy for Xizi and the others to come to play at home just for a few candies. He even said that Mom gave them apples to eat. Do you remember?"

How could Zhou Jiao forget the growth history of each of her sons? She smiled and nodded.

Zhang Guoqing looked at his two sons who were afraid to look at him and said, "Dad doesn't blame you, but when we get back, they should have gifts for you."

"Really?"

"Dad never lies! Okay, then I like them."

Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao and patted his forehead. He had screwed himself! He knew his three sons always demanded equivalent returns.

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a teasing look. Did he really think that children so young didn't know what was good and what was bad? Their eyes looked around, and they could see everything clearly.

She smiled and said, "Okay, let's drive first. We'll discuss this issue when we get back to the compound. Whether you like that person or not, you must be polite. Did you remember that, darlings?"

Liuyi clapped his hands and said, "Remember, be polite and be a good child."

"Also remember it in your heart so that you can take revenge when you grow up." This was Wu Yi's brilliant stroke of genius.

Zhang Guoqing nearly drove his car into a ditch after hearing this. Being the father of a gifted son was incredibly stressful. Especially since Ping An had really educated him into being stingy.

The commune cafeteria was filled with guests waiting for the wedding to take place. They gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and of course most of the topics revolved around the bride's dowry.

The four tables in the front were already occupied by the male elders of both the bride and groom, as well as the top leaders of the county and the commune. At this time, Father Zhang and Xiao Ping'an were also seated there.

As for Zhang's mother, she was also pulled by Cheng Hongli and others to sit in the second row.

"Look, is this a relative of the groom or the bride?"

"Where?"

"Oh my god, he's a soldier. It must be the bride's side. No one in the Zhang family is a soldier."

“…”

Zhang's mother was bored when she heard some noise behind her and turned to see Ping'an walking over there. She immediately grinned. Isn't this her eldest son's family?

When Zhang Guoqing, who had parked his car in the yard of the Grain Administration Office, came with his wife and son, he was urged to go to the main table by his brother-in-law Zhang Yuntao at the door as soon as he stepped into the cafeteria.

"Okay, brother-in-law, go ahead and do your work. We are all family, so let's not be so polite." Zhang Guoqing said as he took off the coats of his two sons.

"I'll take the children to my sister-in-law's place, you go and help." Zhou Jiao saw Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua waving at them, nodded and smiled at them.

It was said to be a helping hand, but in fact it was also a social event. Today, Zhao Yuanyuan had two sisters-in-law with her, so she didn't need Zhou Jiao to accompany her. However, Zhang Guoqing had to go over to greet the elders who came earlier.

"Mom, I'll stay with you."

Zhou Jiao looked at her eldest son who was walking towards her with a serious attitude and ignoring the discussions around him. She couldn't help but smile and took his little hand and touched it.

"Mom, I'm not cold." Ping'an smiled at her, holding one of his brothers' hands, and whispered, "We can't embarrass Grandpa. Remember?"
