Old Master Lin looked at the young couple with satisfaction. They were already quite outstanding at such a young age, yet they could see clearly what was in front of them and plan their future well.
"Grandpa will be waiting for you to arrive in Beijing. I'll also discuss your father's job with him and see what he decides. He's seen a lot outside over the years and has gained a lot of experience. Plus, he's always been very capable. Don't worry about him. You'll understand when you meet him later."
Zhou Jiao looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Brother, you still have time to accompany grandpa to take a look. You can talk slowly in private then. Ask mom to call him in."
Lin Lishan came in and said with a smile: "I've been outside the whole time. I see it's getting late. When are we leaving? Dad, look at your watch."
Zhang Guoqing said quickly, "Before Grandpa came in, my mother told us to eat before leaving. Everything is ready. Let's go out and eat something before driving away." He turned his head to look at Zhou Jiao, "Jiaojiao, do you have anything else to say to Grandpa?"
Zhou Jiao looked at the old man with tears in her eyes, "Grandpa, you have to take good care of yourself. And you have to say hello to grandma for me. My dad must make sure he doesn't bring me any brothers or sisters."
Old Master Lin was just moved by the last sentence and laughed. Lin Lishan rolled her eyes at her: "Don't worry, your father is a soldier, and your mother is here. Dad, we are in a hurry, let's go eat first. If she thinks there is anything else to say, we can talk about it after I transfer to Beijing."
The three of them walked out with a laugh and went to the main hall. Everyone was waiting for them to come over. Father Zhang quickly asked the old man to take a seat, and the Zhang sisters and Lin Lishan also took a seat.
Zhang Guoqing opened the bottles and poured them one by one. The old man was already chatting with Zhang's father, so he sat down to chat with his brothers, listening to their jokes and wondering if he had forgotten anything. Halfway through the meal, he withdrew and went to the west wing to check on Jiaojiao, as he was a little worried about her.
Zhou Jiao looked at him and said happily, "Brother, I was just thinking about packing the things you need to take with you. Hurry up and pack. I can't get out of bed. After I change my clothes, I'll have them washed by Mom. You can take two more sets of clothes with you. Bring new sweaters, and the new clothes my second sister-in-law made for you. They're in that cabinet. Bring some money, and the military bills, which are valid throughout the country."
Zhang Guoqing didn't answer. He went straight forward and hugged her, listening to her nagging. After she finished speaking, he said, "Are you feeling uneasy? I'll be back in a few days. Take good care of yourself at night. Be careful with your own lights. I've asked mother to sleep on the bed outside. I've explained everything. Don't accidentally make the things inside appear out of thin air when you fall asleep. Take good care of the children and yourself. I'll go to the provincial capital to take a look and tell you when I come back."
"If gold suddenly appeared, do you think my mother would really think I was a golden baby? Haha, that's too funny."
Zhang Guoqing put her on the kang and let her lean against him, then stood up. "Jiaojiao, look around and see if you have a bag. You can't just carry a rag bag on your back."
Zhou Jiao laughed. "The torn bag is good. It suits your image of simplicity and hardship. Brother, when you have time, look in the mirror. You're sloppy. Go get your hair cut short this time. Your previous hair was similar to those soldiers', only shorter. The bags are too fashionable. Only this black bag is for dad's clothes. I don't know how I put it in. I keep the clothes as a souvenir, and this bag is also a souvenir. Don't throw the bag away. Come back and give it to me. When I'm one month old, let's secretly go and burn some paper money."
I felt so sad after saying this. I wonder if anyone helped burn paper money for the family after they passed away. Luckily, I have photos of my grandparents. Maybe I can find them on XL later.
Zhang Guoqing touched her hair and asked, "Do you miss your parents?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head dejectedly. "I really didn't think about them. I just missed Grandpa. Who will pay respects to them during the holidays? And when can we go find them? Is there such a person in this world? Grandpa and Grandpa look so much alike, I wonder if they are related?"
Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said regretfully: "It doesn't matter, I've tried it, different places, one in the south and one in the north, with indigenous people. Well, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'll go and see it when I have the chance. XL is a bit small, so I'll know after seeing it. But, you calculate our ages, what can we say? Haha"
Zhou Jiao thought about it and realized that if someone said I was your grandson, I would probably be sent to a mental hospital. She laughed.
"I've decided. It's better to keep it in my memory. I'll find a chance to pay my respects secretly. We'll meet each other if we're destined to. You can pack your things now."
Zhang Guoqing was truly helpless. Isn't it said that only pregnancy can cause moodiness? It seemed she was simply bored. She'd gone out to get two medical books and an ancient tome, but she couldn't read them for long before she felt sleepy. She hadn't even worried about taking care of her eyes during the confinement period.
"I saw this and bought it yesterday. You can take a look at it when you have time. Take care of your eyes." After saying that, he handed it to her and went to pack his things because he was in a hurry.
Zhou Jiao flipped through the books. The two medical books were quite good. She would look for them herself when she had the chance. She knew they must be in an alley in the county town. She guessed that the young man gave her the three sleep books because he was worried that his eyes would not be able to maintain their condition.
"Young man, you'll have no friends if you keep doing this. Why are you secretly hiding books from your friends? Does your wife know about this? Does your son know?"
"Hehe, tell that girl that I'm no longer tempted by her. To avoid making a mistake, I'm determined to resist her beauty. Then ask her what you're doing leaning in like that, winking at her with your big eyes. Does her husband know? Does her son know?"
"Haha, the girl said, you passed, you can go out for a walk, always remember the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and the Eight Honors and Eight Shames."
"Reassure the mother-in-law and make the wife happy. Always remember that the daughter-in-law is right, the daughter-in-law is right, and the daughter-in-law is still right."
"Adjourn the court, my dear, please stand up."
"twitter"
Sisters Lin Lishan and Zhang Meili came in and laughed.
Zhang Meili smiled and asked, "You'll have no friends if you do this. You two are just amusing yourself. Does your son know about this?"
Lin Lishan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. "Xiaowu, the wife is right, the wife is right, and the wife is still right. This sentence is insightful and well summarized. You henpecked man, does your mother know? Does your father know? Oh, I can't stand you two anymore."
Zhou Jiao looked at them, waved her hand, and said, "My dear ministers, if you have something to say, please rise and report; if not, please leave the court."
Zhang Guoqing saw everyone waiting for them outside the door with things in their hands, and knew that they were about to leave, so he quickly replied.
"Your Majesty, I have brought the Emperor back to the palace. Your Majesty, please remember to go to bed and be careful with the candles. Wait for me to return as soon as possible to announce the good news."
Zhou Jiao waved her handkerchief, "Go, go. After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. General, take care on your journey and protect the Emperor. I will come back and commend you for your achievements."
Zhang Guoqing blinked at her and went out with Lin Lishan and Zhang Meili, who were laughing like crazy. When they got out of the door, they saw people laughing outside too.
Zhang Guoqing saw the cloth bag next to Zhang's mother, picked it up and walked out directly. He had to go first. The group of people were very happy.
Zhang Dad and his family escorted Old Man Lin and the others to the gate. Standing by the car, he repeatedly asked them to come over and play whenever they had time. The others were still laughing so hard they couldn't speak and just nodded.
Xiao Zhou and the others opened the car door, and Xizi got in early. Zhang Guoqing looked at him and didn't say anything, so he let him go back with his mother-in-law for convenience.
