I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or because life has been too smooth, but winter has passed and spring has come, and before I can fully appreciate the endless changes of the seasons, it’s already midsummer in the blink of an eye.
As I grow older day by day, every time I hear the steadily rising number on my birthday, the deepest realization I have is that every day that passes is truly a day less.
Of course, Zhou Jiao didn't dare to express these feelings directly to her parents and her master, Old Man Hu, but she always felt sad in her heart.
Fortunately, life has been passed on.
Her peace is going to be married soon.
Now that I have a son and daughter-in-law, how far away can grandchildren be?
"Mom, I got my diploma, but I can't go back so soon. I still have some work to do at the professor's place. I must be home on my eldest brother's wedding day."
"good."
Zhang Guoqing took the phone with one hand, "I'm your father, don't play around with me, come back a month early, your mother can't handle the house alone."
"No problem. Dad, do you miss me?"
Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter at his son's sweet Cantonese voice. "No! I heard you went to Las Vegas with someone before?"
"Dad, my mom is here, you can't dig a hole for your son."
"Is the money enough?"
"No problem. Tell my dear mother that her son will bring her a sack of diamonds to play with."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guoqing winked at his wife. Look! Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. There's no need to give them mountains of gold and silver; they can build up their own wealth.
Zhou Jiao laughed and shook her head. What's the use of money? Where is her daughter-in-law?
Did the kid sell the villa just for investment? She didn't think so.
How much is that worth?
He simply wanted to cut off his close relationship with Xiaojiu. With the excuse of having to stay in the school dormitory, he had become more sensible.
He said that Xiaojiu had obtained citizenship of a foreign country. She wouldn't believe it if nothing happened to disappoint the girl, but Xiaojiu had also cut off contact with her recently.
These naughty kids are so annoying just thinking about them!
After this phone call, Zhou Jiao unexpectedly received another call from Wuyi the next night.
"Mom, who's with you?"
As soon as Zhou Jiao heard the buzzing noise, she realized that they were discussing a secret on the satellite phone. "It's just me. Your dad is playing chess with your grandpa in the living room."
"Then take a deep breath first."
Hearing this, Zhou Jiao was immediately frightened and panicked, blurting out, "Son, don't be afraid, Mom is here for you no matter what happens. Where are you now?"
"Oh, my mouth. Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine."
Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, but then her vision went dark and she slumped down in the chair. She picked up the tip of the pen and poked it into her thigh. The pain immediately calmed her down.
"Mom, are you listening?"
"Tell me slowly, Mom is here."
"Mom, we're done."
Zhou Jiao took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Get to the point."
"I've received news... that these five countries are going to sign an agreement... and now the finance ministers of the other four... countries... are going to come to New York next month."
I don’t know where her husband Wuyi was hiding when he called her on the satellite phone. The call was intermittent, but at least Zhou Jiao understood that it should be the famous Plaza Accord.
But where did her son get the information? This involved national affairs, and she didn't believe that his friends had leaked it.
The more high-ranking the children are, especially those like foreign princes and princesses, the more crazy they are. How could they inform you of your identity even though they know it?
Listening to her youngest son's suppressed voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Jiao frowned, "Okay, Mom understands, son, please be careful."
"Okay, Mom, don't worry. Remember to tell my dad and grandpa. Also, I want to discuss something with you. Can you lend me some of your stocks in the United States?"
"My things all belong to you three brothers, what do you think? Play with them if you want."
"Hey, Mom, I love you so much. Wait, your son will make you a fortune."
Can Zhou Jiao say she doesn't care about this little drizzle? If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to play with foreign exchange, then go ahead. If you lose, even better. I'll show you how powerful I am!
After hanging up the phone, she pounded her aching chest and frowned: Scaring people can really scare them to death. If it happens again, she will probably die young.
When she heard the study door being pushed open, Zhou Jiao quickly put down her hands and sat up straight, then quickly pulled up the hem of her skirt to cover the wound, secretly thanking herself for wearing a long black skirt today.
It really hurts!
Zhang Guoqing originally heard a noise in the study and wanted to come in to see who was calling, but when he saw her face covered in sweat, he was so scared that he ran up to her and touched her forehead.
"Not feeling well? Who's calling?"
"No, I'm excited. Wuyi told me some great news." Zhou Jiao smiled calmly and quickly changed the subject. "Do you know what we talked about on Wuyi?"
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at her, picked up the thermos, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink first." Then he wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
Zhou Jiao obediently let him do what he wanted, not daring to take a large gulp. As usual, she took a sip and raised her head to let him wipe it. "My son got wind of it. The Plaza Accord is here."
Zhang Guoqing narrowed his eyes. "So you're worried about your son? Don't worry, he probably got the information through analysis. Several of his classmates are children of finance ministers and secretaries of state. When their elders moved to a foreign country, they must have gotten the news and were targeted by his son."
"Yes, that makes sense." Zhou Jiao just wanted to get rid of him at this moment. "Tell Dad about it. I'll finish the work I'm doing and go to the living room right away."
Zhang Guoqing touched her forehead again. "Are you really okay?" Xiang Xiang felt uneasy and touched her back. "You're all sweaty. I'll take you to take a shower."
Wow~ they are simply enemies!
"That's fine, I can go by myself. Go tell Dad first," Zhou Jiao said as she sorted the documents on the desk and gestured for him to hurry up. "I'll be right there."
After finally urging him to leave, Zhou Jiao quickly took out the medicine powder from the space and dried it on her thighs: I'm going to die. I escaped on the first day, and I don't know if I can escape the fifteenth!
Zhang Guoqing has been feeling very happy these days, smiling every day. When outsiders see him like this, they all smile and congratulate him on his upcoming promotion to becoming a father-in-law.
Humph! These vulgar people, he has a son, so is he worried about not having a daughter-in-law?
But no matter how secretly you enjoy the pleasure in your boudoir, you can’t tell others about it.
His wife has been very romantic recently. She doesn't turn on the lights every night and hangs out with red candles and flowers.
Hehe... He never thought that his wife cared so much about marrying a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, he would praise her youth, beauty, and great figure more...
"Dude, why are you so happy? It's not like you're getting married."
"Get lost!" Zhang Guoqing cursed with a smile, and put his arm around Wan Dayong. "I remember your second uncle is still in Heilongjiang Province. He got some Toad Oil for me."
"Snow frog oil?" Wan Dayong looked at him suspiciously. "Look at your lewd behavior. Shouldn't you get some tiger penis or deer penis or something?"
"Yes? Get more for me buddy. Money is not a problem."
"How shameless!"
Zhang Guoqing glanced at him seriously.
"What are you thinking about? The snow frog oil is for my wife and the others as a midnight snack. The tiger penis and deer penis are for making medicinal wine. We can drink it when we are old."
