"Jiaojiao, if, I mean if, if one day the younger generation of the Cheng family and our son become enemies, what will you choose?"
In the bedroom, Zhou Jiao was stunned by Zhang Guoqing's sudden words after he pushed the door open. Could it be that the old lady was not at home and something was wrong with the Cheng family?
"No, I just want to know what you think."
Zhou Jiao felt relieved upon hearing this, and then smiled and said, "Oh, this question is simple. Think about it, if Xiao Kangkang is about the same age as Wuyi now, and one day he breaks Wuyi's head, what would you do?"
What? See if he can't kill his father, and give birth to such a son! Even if the old lady is here, it's useless. He has to get over this.
"Yes, the answer is here. I've said it before, human nature is evil. Gratitude only exists in the heart of the person involved, and who cares about the next generation?"
"For example, our sons, they really like the old lady, but how can you ask them to transfer their feelings for the old lady to Xiao Kangkang and his generation?"
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they grew up together and have a close relationship. However, the closer they are, the more unbearable the consequences will be if they are betrayed."
"Besides, speaking of gratitude, let me say something heartless. Everything has a cause and an effect. If it weren't for the Gu family's kindness in adopting the old lady, and my grandmother's kindness in blocking the wood warehouse, how could the old lady have searched for my father? Speaking of the Cheng family's kindness to us, apart from treating us as close relatives, it seems that we really don't owe them anything."
Zhang Guoqing understood. According to his daughter-in-law's logic, his father-in-law, who was exactly the same as hers, would think that after the old lady and her family passed away, there would be no gratitude between the two families.
"You're overthinking it. When we're all gone, who knows what the next generation will be like? This is just a bunch of nonsense."
This made Zhang Guoqing burst out laughing. The father and daughter said this at the same time tonight. It seemed that their family really had nothing to do after eating.
"Have you solved the mystery in your heart?" Zhou Jiao hooked her finger at him. "Come on, come on, tonight, Big Sister Intimate will answer all your questions. What did you say to Dad tonight? Tell me now."
Zhang Guoqing tugged at her hair in amusement and then dropped a piece of news: "We're moving next year."
"Oh, that's fine."
Zhang Guoqing looked down at her in surprise, "You don't object?"
"Why would you object? Dad has guards to pick him up, you have a car to go back and forth, and Mom can also take a ride with you. This is a different time, and it's not like you just joined the unit, so you can just move."
Zhang Guoqing's eyes rolled, and he said with emotion: "So you did it for me!"
Zhou Jiao gave him a sidelong glance. Of course, the biggest reason was for him. Otherwise, where else would she live? She considered herself very practical. With her connections, why not use them?
Having her father behind her can save a lot of trouble, so why not use it? Do you really think that no matter how capable or popular a person is, everyone will give you face?
You are not the People's Bank of China or various tickets.
Just like her, why did the minister personally explain to her why she couldn't go abroad? If it were just one person, the instructions from above would be solved in one sentence, so why would they bother with you?
They say everyone is equal. If equality really comes true, why are those people still jumping around? Don’t they see that their own sons and daughters are so lucky?
Even some of the older generations who were devotedly patriotic had their children really have to run away to remote places, either to the military corps or to the countryside to work as sent-down youths.
But can their treatment be compared with that of ordinary people? There is no need to give any tips to the subordinates. They are given priority for joining the party, not to mention being rated as advanced or active.
Of course, she wouldn't generalize. There were some who kept their identities secret, and those were the true good comrades, but who knew what their motives were.
Zhang Guoqing laughed happily when he heard this and joked, "After your analysis, this world is so scary. Wife, give me a hug of love."
Zhou Jiao said angrily, "What a shame! Just pretend. No matter how innocent you try to be, you're still Zhang Guoqing."
Zhang Guoqing picked her up and glared at her in mock anger, "You're such a traitor! Everyone says I'm loyal, warm-hearted, and righteous."
Zhou Jiao couldn't deny this. It was just that she knew her man better. Once he was vulnerable, it would be like slaughtering prey.
In general, no matter how hard the couple tries to integrate into this era, some things in their bones, such as selfishness and the habit of disguise, can never be changed.
So, now she had to put on a layer of skin that she was not willing to wear, facing this kind-looking woman. Of course, if you think that she treats you sincerely, you lose!
"I've watched this child grow up, and I've heard she works here. How is she? She's doing well, isn't she? Several departments were vying for her back then, and she's got plenty of skills. You should also give her some important responsibilities. Our country still depends on her generation."
This was said to a middle-aged man next to him.
This middle-aged man happened to be Zhou Jiao's immediate superior. Not to mention that he and Zhou Jiao had no grudges against each other, he had to praise the man in front of him for asking the question.
Zhou Jiao felt embarrassed for him in public. She was truly the most demanding person in the world. The problem was, what if she still refused to accept it?
"I haven't seen you at home for two years. The old leader mentioned you a few days ago. Bring your wife and children to visit us when you have time."
A glint flashed in Zhou Jiao's eyes, and she said yes with a smile.
"Have you been in touch with your sister Xiaomei recently? You sisters are busy with work, but don't forget to keep in touch. She hasn't been seen recently, and I don't know what she's been busy with."
Zhou Jiao and her ex-girlfriend's daughter, Li Mei, hadn't gotten together in ages. It wasn't that she hadn't received an invitation, but she didn't dare go. She'd said she was afraid of death, which was true, but she was even more afraid of getting into trouble.
"...I remember your three little ones are grown up now, right? Take them to visit more often when you have time. These kids grew up together and have a deep bond..."
It looked like a mother's concern for her children, but Zhou Jiao had a glimpse of the underlying meaning. It seemed not only that he couldn't take advantage of her father, but he was also targeting her three sons. Should she then shout out thanks to God for His grace? How ridiculous!
Looking at the other person's back as he left, Zhou Jiao, who was standing there to see him off, had a flickering look in her eyes. How could she tell that she was a softie?
Jin Lijuan believed that she had an extraordinary relationship with Zhou Jiao. As soon as the leaders left, she immediately took the lead among several colleagues to come to her side.
Zhou Jiao paused for a moment, then turned around and pulled her inside. The peaceful life she had always wanted seemed to have vanished with the departure of this important figure.
"...A big shot is indeed a big shot. Her tone of voice and manners are extraordinary... I didn't expect she would really treat you as a junior. It really scared me..."
Zhou Jiao lowered her eyes and smiled absentmindedly, "It's just a coincidence."
"Why do I feel like she's here to support you?"
Isn't that the case? Life is a play and life is a play. Isn't it just to show you all how close the relationship between our two families is?
