Miao Lishan explained to the woman she had just met, "The child and his second brother are twins. His eldest brother gave him a nickname, and he always asked the family to call him by the name of June 1st and May 1st. When he went to nursery, it was his brother who took the two younger brothers to register. It was only when he was in the first year of high school that he switched places."
The middle-aged man who was laughing beside him had a flash of light in his eyes when he heard this. He looked thoughtfully at Wuyi who was surrounded in the middle. If he guessed correctly, this person should be the grandson of the one mentioned above.
Listening to the nicknames the boys were calling each other, it was clear that this dormitory was full of hidden talents. It seemed I needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with my son.
Wuyi had noticed the other person's look, but so what? Just like he'd told his grandfather, using an alias was useless to him.
Not only is the circle so small, but his face is also a symbol!
If someone really wants to deal with me, whether with good intentions or bad intentions, it's a good opportunity for me to practice.
"Grandma Zhou, you can go back without worry. Tell my aunt that I will definitely keep an eye on him."
"Grandma Zhou, we will protect our brother Wuyi well. Don't forget to treat us to a big dinner this weekend."
Wuyi glanced at them and said, "Get lost. We don't even know who is protecting whom."
"Are you sure? Hahaha...Sister Xiaoru, Sister Xiaoyuer, do you want to name a few more? They all go to college nearby."
Seeing them making a mess, Miao Lishan happily promised them to come to her house whenever they were free, and she asked Aunt Chen to cook delicious food.
Although she didn't know the three children, she knew they were close friends with Wuyi, so she thought they must be the children of someone she knew. This was good; she felt relieved to have someone she knew around the children.
Due to this delay, it was already dark when we returned to the courtyard to pick up Zhang Guoqing after get off work.
"Big sister, what took you so long? Did everything go well?"
Miao Lishan, in a good mood, immediately responded loudly: "It's fine, they're all acquaintances. There are eight of us in the May Day dormitory, and six of us are good friends who grew up with him."
"Oh, well, this is fate."
"Isn't it fate? Before I went, I was worried that the child was too young and might be bullied."
Zhang Guoqing suppressed a smile and winked at Zhou Jiao. His mother-in-law was such a joke, didn't she think about the fact that anyone could get into the Department of Political Science?
"Jiaojiao, let me tell you, there really is a parent who went to the Wuyi dormitory to help clean up. It's that student I don't know. Although his parents didn't report their workplace, I heard from the child's mother that her husband works under your Second Senior Brother. Do you think Beijing is small?"
Zhou Jiao nodded silently. It was indeed a small matter, but it was also troublesome. I was afraid that it would be linked to all sorts of messes in the future.
Miao Lishan walked closer, took Zhang's mother's arm, and suggested as they walked, "Sister, now that the children's affairs are settled, we have half a day off tomorrow, March 8th, Women's Day. I'll take you out to the streets, and we old sisters can go out and have a good look."
Zhang's mother shook her head as she walked, disapprovingly saying, "Forget it. You work all day, it's so hard to take a break and just relax at home."
"No, I want you to go to the barber shop with me. It's the one we went to before. There's a big market nearby. It's just right that after we get our hair done, we can go to the market and get some mutton brushed."
"Is that the Oriental Market?"
"Yes, sister, you have a good memory."
"How could it be bad? Darling, how much did it cost that year?"
Zhou Jiao looked at the two people floating away, then looked at Zhang Guoqing who shrugged and spread his hands, and smiled. It turned out that she was not the only one who was left behind.
Zhang Guoqing hugged her and walked slowly inside. "You're also taking half a day off tomorrow?"
"Um."
"Have you decided where to go?"
"sleep."
"That's fine. I'll take you out on the weekend."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him with a half-smile. "Who's going to keep you company this weekend?" Her sons were back.
Without the younger generation chatting and joking around at the dinner table, everyone was a little uncomfortable for a while. Especially Father Zhang, he was wondering whether he should leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
This time, he saw that his eldest son was doing well and his three grandsons had grown into big men. He really didn't have to worry about Xiaowu anymore.
I had the remaining 3,000 yuan, and originally wanted to buy a small yard for Ping An. But I saw that Brother Zhou had yards everywhere, and my sister-in-law kept asking if anyone nearby had a yard for sale.
Looking at this momentum, Ping An will not lose anything.
Then he will have to keep the money for a few years and return it directly to Xiaowu in the future.
In this way, he really has nothing left to deal with here.
Zhou Xiaozheng raised his glass and said, "Second brother, what are you thinking about? Cheers."
Zhang Dad smiled when he heard this, picked up his cup and clinked it with his, "Brother Zhou, I think there's something I haven't told you yet. Thank you!"
Zhou Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, swallowing it in one gulp.
Father Zhang drank his wine and said with a smile, "Do you know what I'm thanking you for? I won't mention other things, big or small. I just want to thank you for treating Xiaowu as your own son."
Zhou Xiaozheng took the bottle of wine and poured it for him, saying with a smile, "Don't you feel bad that your eldest son gave it all to me?"
"Hahaha... Who said my oldest son will give you some? At most half, don't even think about more."
"Then why don't you plan to stay here?" Zhou Xiaozheng paused. "You're old, and you can't do farm work. What's the difference between living in the county and here?"
Father Zhang shook his head. "The children don't understand my feelings, but why don't you? Qingming Festival is coming soon, right? I can't sit still right now. Not only do I want to pay respects to my ancestors, I also want to go to my parents' graves and say a few words."
Zhou Xiaozheng was silent for a moment after hearing this. He drank the wine in one gulp and nodded, "Then I won't keep you. Just remember, my Jiaojiao is not only your daughter-in-law, but also your daughter."
Father Zhang suddenly burst into a hearty laugh. He understood what Brother Zhou meant, and he wouldn't care about such trivial matters as coming to the capital to live in his daughter-in-law's family home.
The Zhang family has received so many favors. If he still clung to this little bit of face, he would not have agreed to let his pair of fair and tender little grandsons have the surname Zhou.
"Then I'll leave the day after tomorrow. Xiaowu will book the tickets for me, your mother, and your second brother."
Zhang Guoqing frowned. "My second brother wants to leave. I won't keep him. His vacation is almost over. Can you and mother stay for a while?"
Father Zhang glared at him, "How dare you disobey your father?"
Zhang Guoqing was at a loss for words. What on earth was this?
Zhang Laoer advised, "You're busy as a dog now. Dad and Mom should come back with me first. When your niece's wife is pregnant, I'll ask your second sister-in-law to accompany Dad and Mom here."
There was another thing. He didn't have the nerve to mention his eldest brother's affairs in front of Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife. Since his mother had intervened and made Huang Cuilan stay in the county as a temporary worker, the old couple definitely couldn't stay here. It would be better for them to go back with him. At least he could take care of them along the way.
