After breakfast, Zhang Guoqing couldn't contain his eagerness to go home, and suggested that he come to visit Mr. Zhao and Mr. Huang next time. He would go home after visiting his elder brother Zhang Guofu.
Zhao Chuangguang understood his feelings very well, "I'll ask for leave and drive you back."
Zhang Guoqing quickly shook his head.
Zhao Chuangguang looked at him hesitantly, "You really don't need me to take you back? Or should I ask someone to take you back? The children can't stand it in this hot summer."
Huang Huimin then said, "I'll take it."
"No, that's too much trouble! We went to see my eldest brother and happened to be getting on the bus back to the county town over there."
Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhao Lihui, who was tugging at the corner of his clothes, and said with a smile, "Let's go back and settle down first, and then you can come over and go hunting with your brother-in-law."
"Sister, don't forget."
"Don't worry, your sister is not old yet."
Zhao Chuangguang was still worried, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the office later and take a look. I'll take you to Guofu first. It won't delay anything in such a short time."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded. If he refused again, he would probably be sent to the county town.
After finishing the discussion, Zhao Chuangguang took his hat, put it on, and turned to leave.
In the living room, Zhang Guoqing pointed to the remaining items in the sack in the corner and said to Huang Huimin, "Godmother, please help me take care of these. I won't go over to the uncles for now. I'll visit them later."
"Okay. How about you go back in the evening? Your godfather will be free after get off work and can take you back."
Zhou Jiao became impatient and stood up, took her bag from the hanger, and pushed her out the door. "Alright. Just go to work. If you keep talking, you'll be late."
"This child...be careful on the road..."
Zhou Jiao slammed the door shut and glared at the snickering people. What was so funny? She hadn't even used her full power yet.
After waiting for an hour, Zhou Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Chuangguang off, who kept muttering all the way and was reluctant to leave, standing at the school gate.
"Let's go, go find your uncle."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head. "You and the child wait here. I'll go find someone."
"No need. We feel like we're being treated like monkeys and it's uncomfortable for us to stay here."
Ping An glanced at the school gate, then took Zhou Jiao's hand and walked in. Alas... adults are so slow in doing things.
Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly caught up with two pieces of luggage, found a student on the road, walked with him for a while, and finally found Zhang Guofu.
Inside the classroom, Zhang Guofu stared out the window at a family of three sitting under a large tree, feeling uneasy and eager for the holiday to end quickly. Why hadn't his son, Xiaowu, sent a telegram before returning so he could ask for leave to pick them up?
Zhang Guoqing waved at him, signaling him to concentrate on the lecture. They weren't in a hurry. He also wanted to hear how this professor's lecture was and how it compared to the professors at his own school.
As soon as the bell rang, Zhang Guofu didn't bother to pack up his books. He ran outside quickly and saw his younger brother. A bright smile broke out on his face.
“Brother…”
"Xiaowu..."
The two brothers hugged each other tightly, and Ping An was dumbfounded. He poked Zhou Jiao and whispered, "Mom, do you think you will cry tears of joy?"
Zhou Jiao patted his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is your uncle, he loves your dad the most."
"I know he's my biological father. He's my grandma's son. Look how much he looks like my dad."
Zhou Jiao looked at him carefully after hearing this. Needless to say, she had never carefully observed other men's appearance before, but now she saw that Zhang Guofu was indeed good-looking. No wonder he was favored by the Huang family.
Thanks to the inheritance of Zhang's father and mother's appearance, the bronze face in her memory has become fair, and her gestures no longer have the rustic look of the past.
It's true that when you've been away for three days, you should look at someone with new eyes. No wonder the elder sister-in-law said Huang Cuilan was nervous. A man like this is really a hot commodity.
Zhang Guofu greeted Zhou Jiao and picked up Ping An. "Our Ping An is so well-developed. I'm your uncle. You must not have remembered me, right?"
Ping An hugged his neck, "I still remember it clearly. I also have a second uncle, right? Brother Xizi, Brother Xiaoyouyou, Brother Shitou, I still remember them all. Uncle, are my grandparents okay? I miss them so much."
Zhang Guofu was so amused by what he heard that he smiled at Zhang Guoqing and said, "He looks just like you when you were a kid, but he's better looking than you."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded. Looking at the classmates who gathered around him, he said with a smile, "Hello."
"Hello, hello. I'm Fu Youqing, your eldest brother's close friend. Have you just returned from Beijing?" The other party asked, looking at the luggage on the ground.
Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded repeatedly.
A female classmate next to him said, "Brother Zhang, this is the Xiaowu that Auntie was talking about? His wife is so good-looking. Your nephew has inherited all the genes from his parents and is a handsome young man."
Zhou Jiao glanced at her inconspicuously, nodded and smiled at her.
After Zhang Guofu introduced his brother to his classmates, he said to Fu Youqing, "Please ask for leave for me."
Fu Youqing nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you."
"Thank you!"
"Why are you being so polite? Hurry up and leave, there will be more people coming later."
Zhang Guofu agreed. His mother's praise of Xiao Wusan and his wife as a perfect match for everyone must have piqued everyone's curiosity. He greeted everyone and hurriedly helped carry the luggage.
After they left, the group of people who were gathered there still looked at their backs reluctantly. The female classmate who had just spoken had a twinkle in her eyes. She approached Fu Youqing and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, does he have a family with a soldier?"
Fu Youqing shook his head, "I don't know."
"How could you not know? Aren't you good friends? Tell me about it."
"Liu Zhaodi, that's enough. It's better not to ask too much about other people's family affairs!" After saying that, Fu Youqing turned and went into the classroom, leaving Liu Zhaodi standing there in a daze, stamping her feet in anger.
Several of the female classmates around her glanced at her sarcastically, then smiled at each other. If you looked closely, you could see one of them drooping her eyelids with a look of pride.
Fu Youqing listened to the students who followed him in, asking him questions, either openly or covertly, and sighed inwardly. Fortunately, their refresher course was only a few months long, otherwise he really wondered if he would have gone berserk.
Zhang Guoqing and his friends left the school and found a restaurant. It was not lunchtime, and there was no one in the restaurant, so they found a place in the corner.
Zhou Jiao left the two brothers to talk, and took her son to order a plate of braised pork, a bowl of seaweed egg soup, and twenty steamed buns.
Ping An frowned in worry as he looked at the national food coupons and money his mother had taken out. This was too much money. His mother was spending it so recklessly... No! He had to remind her!
After paying, Zhou Jiao rubbed his head, smiled, and whispered, "I didn't give your uncle a gift. This is for your uncle to take back as a snack."
Ping An looked at her suspiciously.
Zhou Jiao nodded. She hadn't lied to the child! After looking at the older trainees who were watching, she had a clear idea in her mind. She wouldn't be using any imported items this time.
