After Qingming Festival, spring disappears quietly in the blink of an eye. In early summer, more farmers go to the city to sell vegetables, and there are also more private stalls.
The gaudy Hong Kong shirts that Zhou Jiao hated are once again popular in the streets.
She still stuck to her old ways, and fortunately her three sons followed her example and didn't have much interest in these popular things, which indirectly influenced her two future daughters-in-law.
However, she had no objection to little girls wearing bat-wing sweaters in delicate colors.
It’s a pity that they also look down on these two girls.
She also imitated her, wearing either a long skirt or a white shirt with a pair of trimmed blue jeans, which made her often be teased as the three sisters.
To this end, while keeping an eye on foreign stock markets, Zhou Jiao specially ordered some clothes for them, such as various light-colored shirts with puff sleeves, and denim skirts with overalls.
People really need frequent contact to develop deeper feelings. In this way, she had greatly satisfied her regret of not having a daughter.
Before the arrival of midsummer, she received a notice that the opportunity to go abroad to Europe and the United States for inspection that she had been looking forward to had finally arrived.
After signing the form and letter of commitment, Zhou Jiao did not inform Wuyi in advance this time. Firstly, it was difficult to disclose the route to others, and secondly, she was worried that he would leave the school without permission.
In addition to making friendly visits, the overseas inspection delegation's visit to European and American countries also focuses on investigating the economic development of Western countries and providing reference for my country's modernization drive.
Along the way, apart from the restrictions of rules and regulations, I think there will not be much time for her and her son to reunite. She will be lucky to be able to leave the group for a day.
"Bring some extra chili sauce and meat sauce. If you pass by Chinatown sometime, buy some for him. Remember to ask him to come back during this winter break."
"The mushrooms and black fungus just arrived. Bring some more dried beans that your mother-in-law sent. You can't buy them abroad. We like these for May Day."
"Are your sweaters and pants in there? Remember to say hello to your Aunt Lan when you get to the embassy over there and thank her in person for taking care of us on May Day."
"Don't forget to give Wuyi the things that Ping'an and the others have. Is there anything else?"
Miao Lishan put her hands on her hips and glanced at the luggage in the living room. "Will it be too inconvenient if there are too many? Forget it, I'll sort out some of them and send them by package."
Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing, the father-in-law and son-in-law, remained calm and knew her secret very well. They looked at Miao Lishan who was busy and frantic with a smile on their faces.
"Mom, it won't be much. I'll take it with me first and mail it to Wuyi when I get there. It'll be much faster." Zhou Jiao pulled her back and pushed her onto the sofa. "I'm not home. Remember to eat on time and take care of yourselves. I'll be back soon in a month."
"Oh, by the way, you must bring your camera. Take some pictures of our daily life during May Day. Also take some pictures of me at school and in the dormitory. They say two people share a dormitory, but I wonder if that's a good idea."
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. They were leaving tomorrow morning, so she couldn't expect to rest peacefully tonight. After the elder gave his instructions, it would be time for the two younger ones to return and start the battle again.
She was right not to go abroad for a year of further studies. She couldn't bear to leave home or anything else if she was away for too long. She also had to tell her two daughters to come and spend time with their grandmother when she was not home. Otherwise, her mother would be so lonely while her father and her husband were busy with work.
The next morning, Zhou Jiao reluctantly saw them off to work and took her two future daughters-in-law to the airport to meet up with other members of the inspection team.
There are 20 people in the overseas inspection team, from various units. There are six female comrades including her, and one of them is her old partner Hu Xiaohui.
This guy probably has some private work and is also her bodyguard.
At this moment, she was smiling and teasing her quietly, saying that she was always accompanied by guards whenever she went out.
Zhou Jiao specially brought Qu Shengmei and Yi Tangtang with her. Besides the fact that the children were filial and insisted on sending her to the airport, she also had selfish motives and wanted to introduce the two children to everyone.
Different from other types of inspection teams.
This time, the twenty people came from various systems, and they also had their beloved juniors come to see them off. Making more friends means having more connections. Even if the mountains don't move, the water will. There is always a time when everyone needs help from others.
Zhou Jiao felt that she was becoming more and more worldly. Twenty years ago, she would have disdained such behavior, but in this world, she just wanted to stick to her original heart.
I introduced each colleague to the children one by one. After the younger generations got to know each other, the announcement began that it was time to go through the gate and board the plane.
After waving goodbye to Zhou Jiao, Qu Shengmei and Yi Tangtang exchanged a knowing smile. How could these two not understand her feelings? They said goodbye to the other women and got on the shuttle bus with the other girls present.
The three Ping'an brothers always think that the girls around them are silly. This perspective is essentially inherited from their father. But no matter whether it is Zhou Jiao or the two girls in front of them, who is the good one?
A smart woman, no matter how capable she is outside, always knows how to show weakness and pretend to be stupid in front of her beloved man. Otherwise, how can she make you feel that she needs protection and how can she make you open your heart and learn to care for her.
Of course, do Zhang Guoqing and his two sons understand?
Only they themselves know the truth.
Just like May Day.
At this moment, he was looking at Xiaojiu who had come to see him across a city. His long eyelashes drooped down, covering up the strange color in his eyes.
"Silly girl, what time did you leave?"
"Get on the bus at daybreak."
Wuyi frowned. New Haven was a dangerous place these days. He wanted to say something to her, but couldn't bring himself to do it. He gestured for her to follow him for a walk around the campus.
If it were any other day, he would have asked if she had had breakfast first. But suddenly, he chose to remain silent.
He wondered how long the deep affection in her eyes would last, and what she would do after he graduated and returned home.
His family background does not allow him to have a partner who loves the world of pleasure, and he will not allow his future wife to put herself first.
"Shengmei and the others are engaged, that's great."
Wuyi understood what she meant, but still misinterpreted it. He said with a smile, "Did I write to you? I sent two gifts to them. Did you receive them?"
Xiaojiu glanced at him from the corner of her eye and said, "Yes, the letter mentioned Aunt Zhou and the others. What did you give them? I was thinking of buying them gifts."
"Haha, save your two bucks for now, because it will cost a lot to go to college in the future." Wuyi said as he waved to the alumni who passed by and greeted him.
"Zhou, are you free this weekend?" A blonde girl ran forward and glanced at Xiaojiu nonchalantly. "Rui Li is having a party for her birthday."
"Beautiful girl, it would be my honor. See you this weekend."
"Would you like to have lunch together?"
Wuyi shrugged and waved his hand, "Baibai~"
"Okay then, my Prince Charming. Bye~"
Xiao Jiu looked at the blonde girl floating away and clicked his tongue, "Who is this again? The one last time didn't seem this tall."
