Zhang Guoqing rode his bike back to the compound with a smile on his face, and greeted everyone he met cheerfully, prompting everyone to ask him if he had any good news.
Happy event? Zhang Guoqing wanted to burst out laughing. But he couldn't laugh out loud in front of the underage boy just now, as it would have damaged his image as a big brother.
The world is full of wonders. I've really broadened my horizons!
Whenever he thought about how his wife had nearly died, he wanted to give that bitch a knife. But things didn't change, and now it finally fell into his hands.
Well, he has to do his best to prevent people from running back to the Northwest.
Life is so boring. He should try something more interesting. Otherwise, how can he get rid of the hatred in his heart?
"Xiaowu is back? Where have you been again? Why didn't you eat before going out?" Lin Lishan asked with a smile while standing at the kitchen door.
Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed. How could he have forgotten this joke? It seems that he needs to plan carefully and not hurt his mother-in-law.
"Mom, have you eaten? Where's my dad?"
"He just got back too. You two are really busy. I'm making noodles. You and your dad can have another bowl."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at Aunt Chen, who was shaking her head behind him, and nodded with a smile. It seemed the noodles were being processed again. His mother-in-law was quite skilled; she could make noodles of varying thicknesses, and nine out of ten dumplings would break.
"Mom, fry me an egg. It doesn't matter if it's not cooked through, just don't let it burn. I'll go inside and wait." Zhang Guoqing said, and went in happily.
Lin Lishan laughed and scolded, "Why does this brat always remember that I can't fry a fried egg well?"
Aunt Chen laughed heartily as she finished her words. "You're not the only one who can't fry a poached egg? Sometimes you even can't cook a boiled egg properly."
Zhou Xiaozheng was chatting in a low voice with his daughter. When he saw him come in with a smile on his face, he curled the corners of his lips when he thought of the latest information he had received.
This silly kid still thought he didn't know that bastard was looking for Gu Ruyi. If he hadn't let him go, how could that bastard have gotten the letter of introduction?
This time he decided to release a fish to shake the water. Some things should end, and some people should go, so as to avoid constantly encountering them and feeling unhappy.
Zhou Xiaozheng had no intention of giving any advice, so he just let the kids have their fun. As for the little girl, her usefulness in the Northwest had already ended, so it would be nice to keep her as a training ground for his son-in-law.
Ping An waved to Zhang Guoqing and said, "Dad, let's talk about our worries."
Zhang Guoqing was so happy that he had to suppress his laughter and walked over to him, "Okay, let's talk. What's on your mind?"
Ping An looked around and saw that the adults didn't mean to tease him. He felt relieved. "I've been feeling really down lately. I think I should start elementary school, but I asked my aunt, and she said I have to be at least seven years old."
"You really have to wait until you grow up. We're not in a hurry. The knowledge you learn from grandpa is more profound than that learned in school."
Ping An looked at him sadly and said, "There's another big thing that bothers me. Chibi Maruko-san actually said she'd marry me when she grows up, and Fatty-san started a fight with her, saying whoever won would get to marry me."
Zhang Guoqing pinched his thigh, suppressing his laughter: "Who won in the end?"
Ping An clenched his fists and raised his arms, "I don't want anyone. I beat them both so that no one will be my wife."
Zhang Guoqing gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome!"
“But they don’t play with me anymore.”
Zhang Guoqing comforted her, "It's okay, I'll come back to you in a few days."
Zhou Jiao, standing by, could no longer bear it and said with a smile, "You should worry about how to practice your archery more accurately. Last time, you said you wanted to shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away."
Ping An finally got the chance to show off, chuckling at Zhou Xiaozheng. It was so boring to brag about yourself, but it seemed like he had done something bad.
Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him and said, "A few days ago, some older kids in the yard went bird hunting. He followed them with his small bow and shot down two of the pigeons they were raising. Everyone in the yard gathered around to watch and marvel at the sight."
Zhou Jiao was anxious after hearing this, but she tried to remain calm and said gently, "Didn't Mom tell you not to show off your abilities in front of others? How could you forget this time?"
Ping An shook his head. "Mom, you don't understand. If I want to be the boss, I have to make them respect me. I haven't shown them many of my skills, but I must be the best at hunting birds. This time I shot someone's pigeon, and I gave them two eggs to apologize."
Zhang Guoqing suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that Mr. Yi's mysterious smile that day had this meaning. Well, it was all the eggs that were to blame, definitely not his son.
Zhou Jiao looked at him thoughtfully. Was he thinking the same thing as herself? She seemed to be able to analyze the pros and cons of gains and losses at the age of four or five.
She looked outside and said slowly, "Do you have a plan in mind?"
Ping An chuckled sheepishly, "Mom, you know what I mean? A man who is brave but not wise is a fool. A man who is wise but not brave is a coward. It's better to be a fool than a coward."
Zhou Jiao heard the hidden meaning and nodded, but still reminded him worriedly, "You should also be careful about the degree. If you go too far, a reckless man can also be a dangerous King of Chu."
Ping An had been raised and nurtured by Zhou Jiao. As soon as his mother said that, he understood. He couldn't be the boss yet; he had to listen to his mother and be second in command, just like his father. That day, he had listened to Mu Cang for half the night, saying he was the first to step forward. His mother told his father to wait for the right opportunity.
He knew what it meant to sleep on straw and taste gall, but when was the time they were talking about? He didn't quite understand. So he would just wait for the time his mother said.
Ping'an, who thought he understood what Zhou Jiao meant, blinked his big eyes and nodded at her seriously.
Zhou Jiao said to Zhou Xiaozheng, who was smiling beside her, "Dad, you've worked hard."
Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head and said, "Why bother? The child is very smart. I don't need to explain things to him. He can figure out many things on his own."
Zhou Jiao held onto her father and said nothing more. There was no need for them to be so polite. Her father must have invested a lot of effort in Ping An. She had been forced to grow up by her circumstances, while Ping An needed constant reminders and guidance without even experiencing a single setback.
Zhang Guoqing hugged Ping An with a distressed look on his face. It hadn't been easy for his son. Seeing how tormented he was by these two, Ping An had to consider this and that. It seemed he had to work harder to give his child a carefree and relaxed life. When the time came to compete with his father, he could do whatever he wanted.
Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing has Zhou Jiao's support behind his unscrupulous pampering of his son, otherwise there might be a disaster in the future.
After eating the noodles, Zhang Guoqing, who of course didn't burn the poached egg this time, suspected Aunt Chen's help. However, seeing his mother-in-law's expression begging for praise, he still gave her a thumbs-up. So he really didn't want a daughter; a son was better. Sons are so smart!
Zhang Guoqing, who had godlike logic, godlike ideas, and mysterious self-confidence, was still thinking about how to describe Lin Xuelin's behavior when he returned to his room with his wife and son.
——Just don’t disgust his wife.
Zhou Jiao quickly understood what had happened after analyzing and pondering his vague words. She was speechless. What a foolish brain he had.
Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. As her uncle-in-law is a smart man, he doesn't have the courage to do anything even if he has the intention to do something evil. How could he dare to accept the other party's advances?
She really wanted to dig open Lin Xuelin's pig head to see if her brain nerves were different from others.
