After getting on the train, Zhou Jiao waved goodbye to Zhang Guoqing.
On the first day of school, Zhang Guoqing was put on the leash. What is the purpose of being a monitor? As Zhang Guoqing said, he serves the class wholeheartedly.
He served the class. After Zhou Jiao finished the class committee meeting, she hurried home to serve her son.
After getting off the train, Zhou Jiao frowned and looked at the crowded bus, glancing at it with disgust. She would rather walk than smell the stench of sweat.
After walking for a while with a guilty conscience, she finally managed to stop a tricycle. Without bothering to negotiate the price, she spent two cents and quickly went home.
She had spent a day on campus today and knew that she would go to the countryside to help with farm work and participate in rehearsals for the National Day celebrations. Not to mention Zhang Guoqing, it was impossible for her to accompany her children every day.
What can I do? Just squeeze it in. I can always find time to spend with my father and my children.
When we got home, Ping An rushed out like a cannonball, "Mom, are you out of school too? Where's Dad?"
Zhou Jiao picked him up and said with a smile, "Your father is a monitor just like you. He can't go home tonight, but he will be back to accompany you in two days. Was Ping An good today?"
"Mom, there are also children in our class who can't go home at night. Auntie said their parents are busy at work and can't take care of them."
Zhou Jiao patted his head and said, "Mom and Dad will be very busy in the future and won't be back for several days. What will we do about our safety?"
"What should I do? Leave it to me. Ping'an is so good, can you sleep with grandma?"
Zhou Jiao carried her child into the living room and found quite a few people inside. She smiled and said, "Dad, I'm back. Why are there so many people here today? Is there something good going on?"
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and said, "Your aunt and grandma are worried about whether you are doing well in school, so they came to check on you. They wanted to go over and take a look at you at noon, but I stopped them."
Zhou Jiao laughed, "I'm not Ping An. The school is good, everything is free, what's not to like?"
"How was the meal?" asked Mrs. Cheng worriedly.
"Today's meal is mainly fine grains. I heard that's usually the case on the first day of school. Then I'll mix in some coarse grains. I think it's pretty good, much better than what you get outside."
Old Mrs. Cheng shook her head. "It still won't work. I'll ask Auntie to send it over next time."
Zhou Jiao was so scared that she winked at her father. This won't do!
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and said, "Auntie, there's no need to bother. I'll have someone send it over. By the way, you said Xiaowu would be the squad leader, but didn't you get a small official position?"
Zhou Jiao took over the topic immediately, "Study Committee Member. I don't even know what it's for."
Old Master Cheng smiled at her and said, "Train well. These skills will be useful in the future. We are at home, and you young people can just go out and explore."
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Ping'an, who was listening to everyone's conversation attentively, and waved at him.
"Grandpa..."
Zhou Xiaozheng held him in his arms and whispered to him, "Mom and Dad will be busy at school and won't have time to come home. Can you stay with Grandpa at night?"
Ping An looked at everyone in the living room and asked quietly, "Will it take a long time before I can see Mom and Dad?"
"No. They will be home in two nights. If Ping'an misses them, grandpa can take you to see them. At home, Ping'an can go to the nursery during the day, and listen to grandma singing and great-grandmother telling stories at night."
Ping An smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Xiaozheng patted his daughter comfortingly, "Look, it's okay. You see, many children in the nursery wait until the weekend to go home, and they're not doing well. You can go to school without worry, as long as your dad is here."
Lin Lishan rolled her eyes at her. "Leave the child to your parents. What are you worried about? You left this morning and the child didn't cry when he woke up. Leave the child to mom and go to school without worry. Don't run back and forth all day or you'll get tanned."
Zhou Jiao smiled at her. Ping'an's habit of being hard to wake up once he fell asleep was indeed worry-free. Since her parents-in-law both thought the child was easy to take care of, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Don't rush after dark. It's not safe to travel alone." After saying that, Zhou Xiaozheng saw that nothing was wrong and invited everyone to eat first. He probably thought his daughter Jiaojiao came back hungry.
Dinner consisted of four dishes and a soup. Even though the dishes were simple, they were much better than what other families had. No wonder Old Lady Cheng was worried that Zhou Jiao would be hungry.
She asked around the compound and learned that several young men in Beijing were not getting enough to eat while attending university, and she was secretly worried. It was a pity that it was too far away, otherwise she could have sent food there every day.
Zhou Jiao didn't know what the old lady was thinking. She just saw that she kept asking herself to eat more, which made her laugh and cry.
Night fell quickly, and Ping'an began to perform shows to entertain himself. Having a child made the Zhou family more lively, with laughter and joy, and four generations living under the same roof. This was the family life Zhou Jiao had always dreamed of.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Guoqing walked back to the compound in the dark. Even though he had to go to school in the dark again the next day, he couldn't stand the loneliness without his wife and son.
At this time, Ping'an was describing his happy paradise to Zhou Jiao in the bedroom.
Every day I sing, play games, play with sand, feed vegetable leaves to the little rabbit, plant and water flowers with the aunts, eat snacks after a nap, and listen to storytelling on the "little loudspeaker" radio in the afternoon.
The aunt can also act like an eagle and catch a group of "chickens" lined up in a row. There are swings and slides in the yard for him to play on. When he went home today, the aunt even gave him candy.
Zhou Jiao listened to his vivid description with a smile and was happy for him. Such conditions were unique, and she was determined not to let him go to the school nursery.
A person's growth background is very important, and many resources are different. For the sake of the child's future, she should also have the heart to hand the child over to her father.
Zhang Guoqing clapped his hands at the door, "Son, that's great!"
"Dad, I missed you so much." Ping'an took a step forward in surprise and rushed over quickly.
Zhou Jiao looked at him in surprise. This guy was different from her. He had a mission tomorrow morning. There were many activities for the student union and the class, and he had to help organize them.
She stood up and said, "Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Zhang Guoqing stopped her and said with a smile, "I just came from the study. Dad is still reading documents. I'm not hungry now. I'll have a midnight snack with Dad later."
"I want to eat too."
Zhang Guoqing kissed his son and said, "Okay, let's eat together."
Zhou Jiao looked at them with amusement. Ping An would go to bed when the time came, and would just agree to eat with them whenever he wanted.
"Ping'an, let your dad rest his feet first. Why are you rushing back so late?"
Zhang Guoqing was reluctant to let go of the child and sat on a chair holding him. "I don't know if you've made it home yet when you come back alone. The more I think about it, the more worried I get."
"Aren't you tired of rushing back early tomorrow morning?"
Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head. "If you weren't in the dormitory, those people would definitely come to your door. Now's not the right time to have too much contact with them. Yi Jiefang is okay, he's quite smart. Let's wait and see about the others first."
Zhou Jiao nodded in agreement. This cage is so big, there are all kinds of birds in it. It's better for them to keep some distance from their classmates.
Don't be a good advisor to someone who talks too much, and don't stay with someone who moves too much for long. A variety of people are born out of a variety of cultures. Each of the 50 students here today will have a connection with this couple in the future, so we have to be careful.
There were things we couldn't discuss at school just to be safe. Now at home, we could finally speak freely. Zhang Guoqing shared this thought as he told Zhou Jiao the backgrounds of several of his classmates he had investigated.
