Being away for a thousand days is not as good as being at home for every day.
Zhou Jiao traveled to several places for a month, saw everything she needed to see, and completed everything she needed to complete. This was one of her biggest feelings.
It’s a bit lively, but home is still the best!
Unlike the bustling, methodical life of Beijing, the SAR is characterized by a frantic, fast-paced atmosphere. The mentality is increasingly focused on money.
During this period, she also met Zhang Hongwei, Cao Xiaojun, Wang Wei and other "local tycoons" in various places. The hooligans of the past have become well-mannered and elite.
The repeated calls of "sister-in-law" and "Jiao Jie" almost made her mistakenly believe that she was a gangster, but she was still very pleased to see that they were on the right path.
Since ancient times, those who are righteous are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.
At least the couple didn't make the wrong choice.
Young people, work hard! One day, the world will see your brilliant future.
Return to the old city.
Zhou Jiao submitted two reports and originally wanted to mention them to Zhang Guoqing, but later, for some reason, she chose to conceal it.
She understood better than anyone how many people would be implicated by one of her reports, and if things went wrong, it could lead to bloody sacrifices.
She did not regret her action, but she was still worried that it would damage her image in the eyes of her beloved man.
In Zhang Guoqing's eyes, she was a weak little woman who couldn't even look at a pig being slaughtered. Even if she could really be stabbed to death without even a frown.
She still remembered the time when he stuffed poison into her body to kill two people who stole and sold cultural relics. He blamed himself for several days and even pretended to sleep for several nights in a row to prevent her from falling asleep and having nightmares.
For a woman, having a happy family and a beloved husband is more important than anything else. She doesn't want to add any flaws to the couple.
"Everything is alright?"
"It went very smoothly." Zhou Jiao tilted her head with a smile, "You missed me, didn't you? Look, I ran back as soon as I finished my work without even taking a day off."
Zhang Guoqing patted her head with a smile, "You're so good. Did you secretly collect anything this time?"
Otherwise, why do you say that he is the one who knows me best? Zhou Jiao blinked, "No, I remember everything you told me."
She really didn't go to buy fruits from the south. She retreated with her mouth drooling and heartache because she was really worried that it would make too much noise. Fortunately, the four of them in her family were now eating special supplies.
"Since I can buy it now if I have money, I won't be so foolish as to use the space. So, you don't have to worry about it. I always put you first."
Zhang Guoqing was very satisfied with his wife's good behavior. He scratched her nose and said, "That's the right thing to think. Things are different now. If you want something, just ask and your man will bring it to you with both hands. Come on, I'll show you some good stuff."
You haven't been home recently, so not only are we sending packages back on May Day, but many people have also sent packages here. Let's take a look and see if anyone is interested."
Zhou Jiao touched her nose guiltily and said, "How about, how about you take a look at the gift I gave you first."
Zhang Guoqing stopped, raised his chin in amusement and looked at her.
"Brother, I went to the Chung Ying Street. I didn't do any big shopping, I just did some shopping."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Guoqing patted her head. "It would be strange if my wife didn't take advantage of every opportunity. Did she buy a lot of jewelry?"
Zhou Jiao reached out and touched the bed as if she was offering a treasure, and placed the jewelry and precious medicinal herbs on the quilt. She smiled and boasted about how she exchanged a small piece of double-sided embroidery and a ginseng for treasures.
Zhang Guoqing echoed and praised her, while subtly asking her questions, secretly sighing that it was difficult for his wife to change her nature, and fortunately she returned safely.
Sino-British Street?
Having been to the south twice, he knew the private situation of this street better than she did.
This lawless area was fine during the day, but at night, many illegal activities occurred. She foolishly thought it was a tourist attraction.
Zhou Jiao couldn't help but say, "Brother, I checked and the Zhang family didn't come to the Special Economic Zone to invest. My identity is too special to make it difficult for me to reach the other side."
"It's okay." Zhang Guoqing sighed secretly, "Even if we meet, we can't recognize each other, so let's take it easy. In that family, only Grandpa and the old housekeeper are worth thinking about."
As for his two parents, whom he had never met, they were not yet born, so where could he go to find them? Otherwise, he could look for his mother first.
But once he takes action, how could he bear to let her become an orphan?
He only knew a rough area of his mother's hometown. Nowadays, many towns and villages were named after red flags. Where could he find her? This matter could not be rushed.
History is advancing step by step. If something goes wrong, the butterfly effect may happen and even his parents may be killed accidentally.
It was a difficult situation for him to make a decision, so how could he bear to make his wife worry?
In November, people in the south were still only wearing long-sleeved shirts, but people in the capital were already wearing cotton-padded jackets. Seeing Qu Shengmei and Yi Tangtang who had rushed over after hearing the news, Zhou Jiao secretly felt lucky.
The flashy Hong Kong shirts that had made her hesitate ultimately stopped her from buying them. A young man would look uncouth in them, and a woman wouldn't necessarily be a good man in them.
"Aunt Zhou, godmother."
"I'm here. I was just about to call you guys to come over."
"Come here and take a look at the gifts I brought you." Miao Lishan waved her hand, picked up the four jewelry boxes on the coffee table and handed them to them one by one.
Qu Shengmei and Yi Tangtang looked at each other, "Isn't it too expensive?"
"What's expensive? Just take it. They're just thin chains. They don't weigh much, but they're nice styles. Suitable for young girls."
The jewelry Zhou Jiao picked for them was exactly as her mother said. They were all thin gold necklaces and gold anklets, each weighing only a few grams.
She didn't want to sell anything too valuable just yet. She planned to save the remaining valuable items, such as the gold bracelet, for an engagement gift.
As for the antique head ornaments in her hands, they are the legacy passed down from her ancestors. She will hand them over directly to her sons after a hundred years. There is still a layer of separation between her and her daughter-in-law.
"Here, take it." Zhou Jiao smiled at them hesitantly, "There's also some fabric to take back later. I was thinking of bringing coats for you two, but I think you might not like the styles."
"Godmother, I'll take it without hesitation." Yi Tangtang put down the jewelry box and took out a piece of red woolen material, gesturing towards Qu Shengmei. "This color is great. Godmother has good taste."
Qu Shengmei pushed it and smiled, "This red one suits you. I want the gray one. I already have several coats and I want to make one for Ping An."
"Then I don't want red either. Brother Liuyi still needs a brown coat."
Listening to the two girls discussing quietly, Zhou Jiao and Miao Lishan, mother and daughter, smiled at each other: These two are really smart and thoughtful!
Miao Lishan waved at the two of them and said with a smile, "I'll take those pieces of fabric back for you to look at later. Come on, sit down and have a drink of water."
