Zhou Jiao was finally left alone and was too lazy to go back to her own yard. She would have to chat with her mother-in-law when she woke up.
Although the youngest son hit her a little hard just now, Zhou Jiao did not regret it. Deep down, if it weren't for her mother-in-law, she really wouldn't bother to pay attention to outsiders.
She always remembered how kind Mother Zhang was to her, the eggs she secretly stuffed into her pockets, and the sweet voice she used to call her "I".
My mother-in-law is like my own mother!
She is a really good person.
Not only towards Zhou Jiao, but also when she learned about Xiaojiu's orphan background last night and showed pity for Xiaojiu today, her kindness can be easily seen.
Zhou Jiao closed her eyes and dozed off, tapping the armrest with her fingers. Thinking of her elderly mother-in-law, she was overwhelmed with thoughts.
When Zhang's mother got up, she saw her daughter-in-law gesturing with cloth in the hot weather. "Why don't you lie down a little longer? Where are your father and the others?"
"Brother, go play in the park with Dad and the others." Zhou Jiao smiled, not mentioning that these were cotton-padded clothes specially prepared for her and her father-in-law. She pointed the fan at her and said, "Mom, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I've slept enough." Zhang's mother pushed the fan back in the direction of the fan. "This thing is good. It would be even better if it could shake its head."
"Haha, it's still my mother who has the idea. She really has one, Mom. I'll take you there in the evening. Do you see that sidecar at the door? You happen to be sitting in that truck. Let's go together."
"No, you'll spend money recklessly once you go out!"
Zhou Jiao laughed happily when she heard that.
"Is Ping'an still here?" Mother Zhang said. Seeing her nod, she continued, "That girl is not bad. But you also have to remember one thing: you have to hold your position as a mother-in-law firmly."
"Mom, you didn't act like a boss to me, so I won't."
Zhang's mother burst into laughter when she heard this. "I always forget that you are my daughter-in-law too. Do you remember how I treated your second sister-in-law? Just be like that. This rule needs to be established first. You are so soft-hearted, don't let your daughter-in-law take advantage of you."
Zhou Jiao put down what she was holding and took her arm. "Oh, the more you talk, the more scared I get. You'd better not go back. With you by my side, I feel at ease."
"It's okay, I'll just give Xiaowu some advice." Zhang's mother patted her hands comfortingly, "As for that child, he seems to be a good one at the moment, but he hasn't been married yet, so we can't take him seriously.
Look at your eldest sister-in-law. She was fine at the beginning. I let her do whatever she wanted as long as I was satisfied. But your second sister-in-law became like this after I took care of her.
So, don't be afraid of trouble. If you see something you don't like, just point it out. You have to be ruthless and manage it. If you don't care, you won't be able to do it anymore. You'll have to marry two little ones in the future, so you have to keep your composure."
Zhou Jiao nodded seriously at her mother-in-law's heartfelt words. Even though she didn't agree with them, she had to be careful with her mother, the troublemaker, around.
Now her mother seemed to treat everyone equally, but who was she? She was always smooth sailing, whether it was Qu Shengmei or Yi Tangtang, she liked them all.
Once these two little girls really have a conflict, her mother will definitely favor Xiao Tang'er regardless of who is right or wrong, after all, she grew up under her care.
Moreover, her mother didn't say it. She also understood that her mother preferred Mo Xiaobei as a candidate, but she was used to spoiling her grandson and loved him as much as anyone else.
"Time flies by so fast," Zhang's mother said with emotion, stroking her hair. "In the blink of an eye, everyone is getting married and starting a family."
Zhou Jiao leaned against her, "That's right. Ping An was born just a short time ago. It's good that he's grown up now. I don't have to wash diapers anymore. When the three brothers get married, I'll have completed my mission."
"Silly child, how can it be considered completed? As a mother, I will never let go of my heart as long as I keep my eyes open. After my son, there are still grandchildren."
"Mom, how long will I have to worry about that? I can't take care of that."
"You'll understand later." Zhang's mother didn't want to argue about this and changed the subject. "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have a meeting tomorrow, Monday. Mom, do you want me to accompany you? Can I come back early tomorrow? I can be back at four o'clock."
"No, business is more important. I'm just telling you not to prepare our meal tomorrow. Your father and I have something to do at the Stone tomorrow morning."
Zhou Jiao blinked, "Haven't you seen them? Why are you going there? Wait until the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I can take a leave and go with you."
"No, don't ask for leave if you don't have to. Mai Sui wants to bring her girlfriend to meet me and your father tomorrow. I asked her to take her to Shitou, so I won't let you meet her."
Zhou Jiao really didn't know about this, but she wasn't interested in meeting a niece-in-law. After all, Zhang Laoer had to agree first, and she and her husband couldn't bypass him. "That's fine. Tomorrow night, I'll have Xiao Zhu and the others pick you and my dad up."
Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine. I can't get used to living over there either."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed that Zhang's mother would talk about things in her hometown. Since her daughter-in-law hadn't been back for so long, she had to talk about the interesting things she had encountered, right?
Ping An was warmly welcomed at the Qu family's home, and was held by Mr. and Mrs. Qu until they returned after dinner. Of course, in addition to returning the gift, he also brought back Qu Shengmei.
Upon learning that Yi Tangtang was staying with Xiaojiu at the old house, Mr. Qu no longer wanted his own granddaughter and immediately asked Ping'an to pack her up and take her away.
The reason is also very powerful.
——It was just right for me to go and accompany the two elders who had finally come here.
Zhou Xiaozheng almost couldn't contain his laughter after hearing his grandson's private words. Everyone said that Old Man Qu was a wonderful person, and they really didn't lie.
"Dad, he must really want us to be safe."
Zhou Xiaozheng wasn't surprised at all. He was deputy regimental commander right after graduation, had countless military merits, and was only 25 years old. It would be strange if he wasn't unusual!
Didn’t you see that when Chief of Staff Yi saw the almost excellent Liuyi, his eyes lit up and he almost asked you personally to get the child engaged as soon as possible?
"This damn old man is really capable of such ruthless tricks!" Zhang Guoqing cursed with a smile, "And my stupid son actually fell for it?"
"How do you know Ping An won't just go along with it?" Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head with a laugh. "It's a willing fight, and the other one is willing to be beaten. Let Ping An pick a date to get engaged later."
Seeing the father-in-law and son-in-law set their steps, Zhou Jiao smiled and left. Of course, she had to go to her youngest son's Xiaoyao Garden in the backyard first.
Well, I have to admonish my son a few times, don’t let people down and give me grandchildren in advance, that would be really embarrassing!
The next morning, Zhang's father and mother took their group away.
At night, we picked up the two elders as agreed.
It was said that the man was quite good and was not only a classmate of Mai Sui but also a colleague. The most important point was that he was the eldest son and did not need to have his parents around, which reduced the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
All I can say is that everyone has different ideas.
Just like Ping'an, after returning victoriously from the Qu family, he always emphasized to Qu Shengmei that the three brothers must live with their family unless they were transferred to other places in the future.
