Liuyi nodded without comment, stood up and looked towards the bedroom, then looked at the second bedroom which served as a study.
"When are you leaving?" Ping An said, because they were going back to their hometown in the south to hold a wedding at the end of the year. "Have you bought the tickets and prepared everything?"
"We'll be leaving after the Little New Year, and everything is ready."
"It's a pity we don't have the time off to go over and support you." Ping An took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her. "This is a regimental commander of the army over there. He's a close friend of the three of us."
“No need.”
Ping An stuffed it into her pocket and whispered to her, "Be prepared. Your brother-in-law's father is an official. Don't let him bring shame to our Zhang family."
After all, this was the daughter of their Zhang family. She wasn't someone who could be overbearing, but she wasn't someone who could be easily bullied. To be honest, he still felt uneasy even if the Stone brothers went there!
Bullying one's own family is their own business, but if outsiders bully the girl from the Zhang family, that would be a slap in his father's face!
Mai Sui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Last time his mother came over, I saw that she was a very nice person. Okay, I'll prepare it first."
Ping An lowered his voice, "What do you know? He is the eldest son, and he has several sisters-in-law above him. I don't bully others, but I'm not someone who can be bullied easily."
Mai Sui put the note away and chuckled, "Wu Yi has already sent a letter to warn you, and your second brother-in-law has already promised that he will never let me suffer any injustice."
Liuyi walked over to her and sat down, then asked with interest, "Oh? What did he say?"
"Haha, don't tell me!"
Liuyi laughed and shook his head.
Needless to say, he could guess a thing or two. It's just that the girls in our Zhang family are all so nice. If they suffer injustice and can't live, they don't have to live anymore.
"He's a good person, cherish him!"
After drinking the chicken soup for the Southern Good Man, it was almost time for work in the afternoon. Ping An and Liu Yi declined and asked for leave. After chatting for a few words, they said goodbye and left.
After visiting Mai Sui and seeing that she was living a good life, the two brothers thought they had explained to their second uncle and went around to the old house to talk to a few dogs.
In the evening, they took the fresh vegetables from the greenhouse to the alley courtyard and had a nice time with their master, Doctor Hu, until dinner. They left only after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
The end of the year is approaching, and everyone who should leave has left. Only then can the two brothers feel at ease to prepare New Year's goods at home.
There are even more vendors and stalls in the market nowadays, especially at the end of the year, when everyone is concerned about having a good year, and even the patrolling staff keep their eyes and ears open.
The previous crackdown has brought peace and order to the people, and public security has improved significantly, with fewer petty thefts.
The injury on Liuyi's leg was caused when he encountered a group of blatant robbers on the train and was accidentally scratched by a piece of soil when he was alone in the encirclement and suppression.
This is also the reason why Ping An was so angry that he beat him up!
Of course, he was not angry that his brother had personally taken action to destroy the enemy, but he hated that his brother was looking too high and was stupid enough not to unite with the people around him to act together.
You said that in such a small space, with so many people, if a stray bullet injures innocent people, have you thought about the consequences? A single carelessness can turn a meritorious official into a person who disregards the lives of the people!
Ping An realized very early on that he was young and ignorant and fell into his father's trap!
Who said that just because he had younger brothers, he could command them? He was so worried about his two silly brothers. Was it easy for him? He was not as good as his sweet-smelling sister.
What he was thinking about even more was the girl who made his brother cry so hard.
——Baby Geng finally came to visit the Zhou family.
Of course, it didn't take long.
The night the girl returned home, it was after dinner when the family gathered in the living room to rest and chat.
She is here.
With short hair, wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, a set of black pants, a pair of black boots, and a height of nearly 1.7 meters, he doesn't look like someone who was born to worry about not being able to raise him!
Ping An felt it necessary for the Geng family to publish a book. He even thought of a title for them: "How Did a Woman of More Than Three Jin Grow Up to Become a Big Girl?"
Absolutely a hit!
Not to mention his surprise, even Zhang Guoqing, who had seen this girl several times, could no longer find the same impression as before.
If his eldest daughter-in-law Qu Shengmei was a real fat girl when she was young, and his goddaughter Yi Tangtang was a chubby little white rabbit, then this girl from the Geng family is a kitten.
Do you know how Geng Dazhi carried the four or five-year-old kitten?
He just picked it up with his right hand without any effort, really just casually, and put it in front of the 28-bar. Yi Jiefang and the others laughed at him and said that it might be blown away in a strong wind.
But now, girls really change a lot when they grow up!
She stood gracefully in the living room, exuding a scholarly air, especially her big watery eyes, which were full of spirit and charm.
Zhang Guoqing pushed Zhou Jiao and said silently, "Looks like you!"
Being like her is the highest compliment a man can give.
Zhou Jiao smiled sweetly and looked at the girl who was being held by her mother and sitting on the sofa.
"Why have you lost so much weight? Are you not used to the food abroad? Has my Wuyi lost weight too?"
Zhang Guoqing, his son, and his two children, who knew the details, turned their heads away and chuckled quietly. What's the food she can't get used to? The little girl must have cried herself thin. How quickly would that moisture evaporate?
"Grandma Zhou, my third brother has adapted very well to life abroad. He just missed you. He spent a whole day running around to buy this gift for you. He repeatedly told me to deliver it on time.
If he calls you later, you have to testify for me. I came here to complete the task as soon as I arrived at the compound."
Miao Lishan held her hand and laughed happily, "Okay, grandma will definitely tell you."
As soon as Zhou Jiao saw her mother's actions and expressions, she understood: Okay, there's something to talk about.
"Grandpa Zhou, Third Brother brought you some tea. Luckily, I was smart enough to buy some too. Otherwise, my grandpa would have scolded me for being heartless."
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled at her unexpectedly.
"Fifth Uncle, Aunt Jiao, and my two brothers," Geng Baobao called out one by one, blinking his big eyes. "I came all the way here to bring you here, and you haven't thanked me yet."
As soon as she said this, the whole family laughed out loud.
Zhang Guoqing quickly thanked him and then asked, "You weren't bullied at school, were you?"
Geng Baobao raised his arms and said, "Don't look at me because I'm skinny. I can beat three men by myself. Those yellow-haired monsters may look strong, but they are just puffy."
Zhang Guoqing was so happy that he continued to laugh.
"Oh, don't do it yourself. What if you get hurt?" Miao Lishan hurriedly pulled the little girl's arm down. "How's the security there?"
"It's not as good as our country. But, grandma, don't worry, we are all safe at school. As my third brother said, who am I? I'm very kind not to bully them."
Miao Lishan laughed heartily, "You know what, the little girl imitated it very well."
"Are we similar? My schoolmates all say we are siblings. It's a pity I'm not my aunt Jiao's biological daughter, otherwise I would be so beautiful."
Zhou Jiao smiled so hard that her eyes curved. She had to admit that this girl was really likable and good at talking. Even her father was bribed by her words.
Geng Baobao entertained the whole family, and left after leaving herself and May Day's gift behind, saying that she had to go back to appease her grandparents.
