Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
Recently, whenever someone asks about Zhou Xiaozheng, Zhou Jiao's heart tightens.
——Test?
She glanced at the other man's expression, smiled, and shook her head. "It's a soldier's duty to obey orders. Who knows? Why are you in the city today?"
"My mom asked me to go back. My dad has been away for a long time and hasn't called."
When Ping'an heard her words, he thought to himself: "She's really out of her mind, bringing up these topics in public." He immediately pointed out the window and said, "Mom, look, is that Grandma Chen?"
Zhou Jiao turned around swiftly and looked outside. With a smile in her eyes, she asked in surprise, "Where is she? It really could be your Grandma Chen. She doesn't want to take the car."
Yi Shumin stretched her neck curiously and peeked out, "Which Grandma Chen are you talking about?"
Ping An turned his head and glanced at her, then lowered his eyelids. "My grandmother Chen."
"Oh, it's your aunt. I was wondering who it was."
Hearing this, Ping An pursed his lips and pulled Zhou Jiao, "Mom, come closer. I might have been dazzled just now."
"It's okay, I'll just stand here."
"Ping'an is so filial." Yi Shumin looked at Ping'an's height and said with a smile, "Ping'an, why don't you play with my Yueyaer anymore after growing up?"
Ping An narrowed his eyes unhappily. Look, she was talking as if she and her daughter had always been close friends since they were children.
Zhou Jiao glanced at the female comrades around her and said with a smile, "It's hard for children to respond to what you said. My son Ping'an has always been impatient to play with girls. Other children want little sisters, but he never mentions it. Didn't your Yueyaer go out with you today?"
"I'm at home taking care of my younger brother."
"Oh, haven't seen the kid in a while."
Ping'an glanced at his mother with amusement. "You're being so subtle, are you sure they understand? Are you sure it can protect your eldest son's reputation?" Uncle Fang was desperate to become his son-in-law.
"That's not easy! I'll let the child go to your house when I get back. She said a few days ago that she hadn't seen you for a long time."
Zhou Jiao's mouth twitched as she listened. Was she playing the lute to a cow? She was now terrified of someone bringing a young girl over to visit. She hadn't thought of becoming a mother-in-law so soon. How could she possibly be safe?
Zhang Guoqing on the side took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later. My wife hasn't been feeling well recently. I haven't seen Brother Xiaofei for a long time. Has he been very busy recently?"
"It's not him who's busy, it's you who's busy. Last week when we went to your house, you happened to be working overtime, and he even said that you guys hadn't gotten together in a while."
Zhang Guoqing wanted to slap himself. Hearing this, he could only smile and say, "Everyone's been busy lately. I'll contact Brother Xiaofei later."
After saying this, he immediately turned around and pretended to protect his two younger sons in a serious manner, as if his sons, who had been doing horse stance, would suddenly brake and fall.
Listening to the "voice" chatting with his wife again, Zhang Guoqing secretly swore that if Ping An in his family had such a mother-in-law, no matter how good a friend Fang Fei was, he would rather his son remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
As for women, he knew that there were very few like his wife, but at least they were either as innocent and harmless as his mother-in-law, or as straightforward and sensible as his mother.
It's so annoying to be so smart and like to force things on others.
Zhou Jiao, who was standing by, almost burst out laughing. It was such a rare and embarrassing scene that Zhang Guoqing, who was always eloquent, actually chose to retreat.
While she pretended to be deaf and dumb and responded with "hmm" and "ah", she thought that her son's mother-in-law would be the key to choosing a spouse in the future, and she had to remind her children of this.
At this moment, the couple unexpectedly thought of the same thing again.
Hurry up to the Zhou family courtyard. Zhou Jiao, who had separated from Yi Shumin, could no longer hold back and patted Ping An's shoulder. "Son, in the future, if you're looking for someone, you must first find out the girl's mother's character. I won't force her background, but this mother-in-law will have to deal with me, right?"
Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter.
Zhou Jiao looked at the blush on her son's face and patted her forehead. "I'm so confused. How old are you?" She glared at Zhang Guoqing and said, "It's all your fault. You always tell me who wants to be your in-laws."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Children, although you are still young and it's a little early to say this, but please remember this: your mother-in-law is crucial."
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly as he spoke. Thinking back to that mother-in-law, he had put so much thought into her, but in the end, she was still an ungrateful person.
If it weren't for Zhou Jiao, he would have long since lost interest in contact. He knew this feeling well. So, he now truly treated Miao Lishan as his own mother.
It turns out that there is no harm without comparison.
Liuyi squeezed his hand and said, "Dad, I'm going to the welfare home to find a wife in the future."
"Huh?" Zhang Guoqing was startled when he heard this. He glanced at his youngest son, who also looked in agreement. What the hell was this? Were they causing psychological trauma to the children?
That won’t do!
Zhang Guoqing quickly gave some inspirational quotes.
No one understands this more deeply than he does. In order to survive, the children in the welfare home have been competing with each other since childhood. There is no shortage of excellent children, but who knows if there will be an ugly one?
When we don’t have children, we eagerly look forward to the arrival of a new life. When the child finally comes into this world, we work hard to raise him or her. It would be heartbreaking to think that the good cabbages would be eaten by pigs.
Zhou Jiao looked at him with amusement. The happy troubles finally came...
After she got the children settled at home, she took Zhang Guoqing back to her room and asked, "Do you think Yi Shumin mentioned my dad today? Was it accidental or did someone say something?"
Zhang Guoqing picked her up and weighed her. Look, she is so suspicious. No wonder she can't gain weight.
Zhou Jiao patted his shoulder and said, "Seriously."
"Who is she? Why bother with her?" Zhang Guoqing held her in his arms and patted her. "Don't think too much. It will be soon. Our dad will be back soon. It's almost time."
Zhou Jiao was aware of this, so she could wait quietly for her father to come back, otherwise she would have already started mobilizing people to look for her father.
She calculated the date and breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost time! But then she remembered that Yi Ming was also going out, and she couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the Smiling Fox had also smelled something.
"Do you remember the exact date of the plane crash?" Zhou Jiao knew that he was different from her. Men always focused on important matters.
"Approximate time point." How could such a famous event be forgotten? Zhang Guoqing didn't want her to worry about these things, and even more didn't want to say too much.
Since you can't change history, then stay away from dangerous people. They are just small people, and they can only be small people. Even his father-in-law feels powerless, and they can only go with the flow.
"Wife, do you want to go collect some fruits this year? A few days ago, I asked Dazhi to bring some fruits back from the south. I wonder how he managed to find someone to do it."
