After moving to the new house, it seemed like everything was over, but the packed things inside still needed to be sorted out. Fortunately, there were two more aunts at home this time, otherwise Zhou Jiao would be too busy to handle everything.
Because the factory over there is not far from completion, the interior decoration has been completed and we are just waiting for the potholes on the main road to be filled.
September 9
No firecrackers, no flowers.
A military pharmaceutical factory belonging to the General Logistics Department.
At 9 am, the assembly line was started.
Half an hour later, a group of old men with white hair and youthful faces gathered together with their apprentices and grandchildren. They pinched the pills, smelled them, tasted them, and nodded seriously.
Suddenly there was thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
Looking at the excited and joyful smiles on everyone's faces, Zhou Jiao stepped behind the crowd, left the factory, got into the car that came to pick her up, and left quietly.
This is now her mother's home turf, and it is time for her to retire and continue on her own path.
In the car, Liuyi offered her a cup of water and asked, "Mom, why don't you stay a little longer?"
"No, let's pack up and leave."
Yes, then the mother and son went to the island country with the mission, and there, May Day was already waiting for their arrival.
As they were talking, the satellite phone in Liuyi's hand rang. As soon as it was connected, he immediately put it to his mother's ear. This chatterbox brother, too much nonsense!
"It's me. How much money can you mobilize, bro?"
The call quality on satellite phones these days is really poor. Zhou Jiao almost thought her son had been kidnapped when she heard the buzzing noise of electromagnetic waves.
Zhou Jiao handed the water cup to her son and took the satellite phone. "It's Mom."
"Oh, I have a satellite phone here too. Mom, I'm telling you, bring all the money you have. I'll help you earn back that 100 million."
Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Okay, wait until we get there and we'll talk. Be careful."
After hanging up, Zhou Jiao weighed the phone, returned it to Liuyi, and smiled. Her stingy youngest son still couldn't change his nature, still obsessed with the 100 million he had donated.
She glanced at the soldier driving the car and stopped herself from blurting out some words. She'd have to remind Liuyi when she got the chance: it was time to keep an eye on the Russians.
Even if she didn't say anything, Zhang Guoqing's eyes would have already been fixed on that place. This guy couldn't forget that his wife donated more than ten kilograms of gold to pay off her debt.
Isn’t there a saying that people from the same family don’t enter the same house?
Essentially, this family is very narrow-minded and holds grudges.
"Your brother hasn't contacted Xiaojiu recently?"
This sudden remark startled Liu Yi, who then replied, "He's busy with his studies and runs out as soon as the holidays come. He probably doesn't have time."
Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally.
Liuyi also knew that this reason would not work, and shook his head with a smile, "Mom, Xiaojiu can't fit into his circle. This time, all eight of my brothers are schoolmates."
"Your grandpa said that the Geng family girl is also over there."
Liuyi laughed out loud, "Mom, do you really want Xiaojiu to be your daughter-in-law?"
"Not really." Zhou Jiao sighed secretly, "At least you guys like her. I said I wouldn't interfere, but it's a pity. She's a good girl."
"You don't like Geng Baobao?"
"Is your brother sure?"
Zhou Jiao always felt a bit upset about the Geng family sending the girl to live with their son, but it was hard to say it. Everyone, including her father, believed in the Geng family's sincerity, and Geng Dazhi directly influenced their views.
"Not really. He said he wouldn't think about these issues in the next few years."
Zhou Jiao looked out the window thoughtfully. "It's not that I don't like the Geng family girl, but your brother needs to find someone who can tolerate him."
Liuyi finally understood. This was because he was worried that Geng Baobao, who was being pampered, would not be able to bear the grievances and would really get along with his brother, and the two of them would make a big fuss.
But who can explain matters of the heart clearly?
Liuyi glanced at the car seat, pondering his words, "Geng Baobao can help my brother a little outside, and he knows how to cooperate with him. He is quite mature in his thinking, so it's no problem for me to tolerate him."
Zhou Jiao smiled knowingly and sighed inwardly. It seemed that the Geng girl had helped her Wuyi a lot when he was out there. For example, this time in the island country, this shield was very useful.
Is work the only thing in a man's world? Has she succeeded in raising a son devoted to his country and family? But does she need these things?
"It's a pity. After all, your sister Sheng Mei grew up with Xiao Tangtang. They get along well, so I'm not worried at all. As for her, she might as well have agreed to your Uncle Yi in the first place."
Liuyi was shocked when he heard this. "Don't mention Uncle Yi, or his father will be so jealous that he'll explode. He won't take it out on you, but he'll probably take it out on the three of them."
Zhou Jiao was just saying it casually. She patted her son and said, "Why are you so nervous? How can I force you? Oh, and don't tell your brother about this. I don't ask much of you. Just be happy."
Liuyi held her hand and rested his head on her shoulder, "Mom, thank you."
Thank you for always putting us first, thank you for tolerating us, and thank you for bringing us into this world and raising us to adulthood.
Zhou Jiao muttered, "Silly son."
September is the so-called "bang bang day". It is hot at noon and cool in the morning and evening. It is free from the stuffiness of August. It is the most beautiful season of the year in Beijing.
Golden autumn, the air is clear and the sky is high and the clouds are light!
As soon as we turned into the gate from the foot of the mountain, the trees on the roadside blocked the dazzling sun, and gusts of mountain breeze blew through the open car windows, dispersing the midday heat.
The days are getting better and better...
Naturally, Zhou Jiao believes that the more privileges she enjoys, the more contributions she must make, otherwise she will feel uneasy.
So as soon as she received the order, she went abroad again without saying a word.
This time she will bring a large sum of money in her own name and go to the island country with five people including her son Liuyi.
"Is Hu Xiaohui going with you this time?"
In the bedroom, Zhou Jiao gave Zhang Guoqing a comforting smile, "With her and my son by my side, I'm safe."
"I have other tasks for June 1st, and I will return home as soon as they are completed. As for her? You can't rely on anyone else as well as yourself, so you must always pay attention to any unusual movements around you."
Zhou Jiao zipped up the luggage bag, turned around, put her arms around his waist, and rubbed her face against him. "Wait for me to come back, and don't work too hard yourself. Rest on time."
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly and patted her, "Every time before going out, you must disguise yourself. If anything unusual happens around you, return home immediately. If you can't leave, go to the embassy."
Zhou Jiao laughed heartily.
"Did you hear that?"
"Brother, don't be nervous. To use my son's words, who am I?"
Who? A tender little white rabbit. There are so many foxes out there. If you’re not careful, you’ll get bitten!
"Miao Xiaoqiao, don't make men nervous."
When Zhou Jiao heard him call her by her pseudonym, she immediately burst into laughter. "Congratulations on getting a new wife."
"How can you say that?" Zhang Guoqing slapped her butt in amusement, "Go ahead, your man will be waiting for you to come home safely."
Seeing that the time was up, the two reluctantly parted ways. Zhang Guoqing did not forget to remind her, "Hu Xiaohui has an impulsive personality. Don't be too embarrassed and give in to her in everything."
Zhou Jiao nodded quickly.
Luckily, the other party didn't find out, otherwise she'd be hell-bent on killing you. How could she be so impulsive? Having carried out such missions, she's already a veteran.
Well, in her man's eyes, no one can be trusted. This is understandable.
