Lost your fighting spirit?
Zhang Guoqing shook his head. He had no intention of letting the children know first.
No matter what, we have to wait until Ping'an and his three brothers get married and have children before we can divide the family.
In addition to the yard, there are also assets they own. Like his father-in-law, he has no intention of entrusting them to them early. He has to wait until Zhou Jiao is old and weak before dividing the family property.
Especially after seeing what happened to Old Man Liu, he was even more reluctant to see his three sons sell off the family property. If that happened, it would be better to give them nothing.
Zhou Jiao was almost amused by his idea, "Aren't you and Dad exaggerating a bit, waiting until I'm old? And my son is a spendthrift?"
"If your son doesn't know how to do it, then your grandson won't know how to do it either? There's still a long way to go in the future, so let's wait and see. Dad said that when he has time, we'll set some house rules."
Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so there's no point in thinking too far ahead. But right now..." She faded her smile and tapped the armrest of the sofa with her right fingers, "With Dad gone, big things are about to happen."
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly. He had intentionally changed the subject just to make her relax, but he hadn't expected to avoid it. "How about you take some time off and rest at home?"
How could someone come up with such a ridiculous idea? Zhou Jiao glanced at him. "Taking a long vacation with such fanfare, just to make everyone suspicious once things are settled?"
Zhang Guoqing patted her head and sighed, "Then you should be careful when going to and from get off work."
Zhou Jiao squeezed his hand and wrinkled her nose playfully. "Last night I saw the weather was good, and I looked up at the sky and saw a divination. We'll be safe and sound."
Zhang Guoqing pinched her nose and said with a helpless smile: "You..."
The couple were whispering to each other upstairs when a group of children ran into the yard downstairs with their loud shouting and laughter. The couple smiled at each other when they heard the sound.
"My son is at your service."
Zhang Guoqing nodded proudly.
"Mom, are you upstairs?" The sound of Wuyi running up the stairs was heard at the entrance of the corridor. After Zhou Jiao responded, a small figure immediately rushed in.
"Hey, Dad, you're back."
Zhou Jiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped his face. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. We went to a nearby village to play. My brother and his friends traded eggs with the old lady and even shot some birds and roasted them. We had a lot to eat."
Zhang Guoqing rubbed his belly. It was clear he was living a good life. He smiled and asked, "Why don't you just invite the child upstairs?"
"There's something interesting. My brother asked me to tell Mom first." Wuyi glanced at the door worriedly and whispered in a low voice, "Mo Xiaobei said her great-grandfather plans to take her and her eldest brother back to their hometown to visit relatives tomorrow. She asked my brother not to take us two brothers out of the compound for the next few days."
"Oh, and my best friend Xiao Chongzi also said that his father won't let him leave the compound. My brother said that if one or two of them are secretly telling us this, there must be something wrong.
Let's pretend we don't understand. He and Liuyi are playing with everyone downstairs and will be back soon. Let me come up first to give you a heads up."
Looking at her son's round black eyes rolling around, his little fists covering his mouth, and a clever look on his face, Zhou Jiao couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Guoqing picked up his youngest son and gave him a big kiss. "Good boy! You guys are really worried about me. Mom and Dad know all about these things. Go talk to the other kids."
Wuyi smiled with his eyes curved, patting his chest, "Dad, I'm a little man who has established a family. Isn't that great? We're so busy."
He was indeed busy enough, even while playing he did not forget to inquire about the news. Zhang Guoqing touched his little head and said, "My son has worked hard for this family. I will take you three brothers out for a walk later."
"Going hunting on the grassland?"
"No problem. You and Liuyi have to continue to practice archery hard and strive to get closer to your big brother." Now the fourteen-year-old Ping An is not only an excellent archer, but also has mastered the Mu Cang technique.
Since he was ten years old, he often went to the military camp for training during the winter and summer vacations. In the past two years, many people have proposed marriage to Zhou Xiaozheng many times.
Wuyi chuckled with delight when he heard this. Did this mean that the two brothers had a good chance of going to military camp with their eldest brother during the summer vacation? He would have to discuss this matter with his brothers.
Watching her youngest son leave happily, Zhou Jiao touched her face and asked, "Am I getting old?"
"Who said that? Our mom doesn't have any wrinkles at all. It's too early for you to get old. As for me, if I stand out in a few years, I'll look almost as good as our dad. Isn't that infuriating?"
Zhou Jiao was so amused that she burst out laughing. She scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? You look much younger than Dayi and the others now. By the way, is Dayi's baby about to be one month old?"
Zhang Guoqing snorted when he thought of Yi Jiefang. "That guy even laughed at me for being a henpecked husband. He's the one who's a wife slave and a stay-at-home dad. Look how long it's been since he came home."
"You two are really good friends. He's on a business trip. I'll send some eggs and meat over after dark. We three Ping'an brothers have eaten a lot of what Dayi gave us."
"Okay, since you like that little bird, I'll go with you later."
What little bird? Zhou Jiao glanced at him. Her real name was nice—Xue Ling. Such a nice name, but they had given her a very rude nickname.
Yi Jiefang was really something. He liked the girl and teased her in an inappropriate way. Now he's fine, right? He brought this upon himself. It's time to pay his debt.
"By the way, I heard from Dayong today that Dazhi's wife is pregnant again. I have to go to his house to visit when I have time. Time flies. I still remember that these guys refused to go on blind dates, and now they even have a lot of children."
Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, it was indeed true.
She still remembered the farce that Yi Jiefang had met Xue Ling on a blind date. The girl he had always liked was actually on a blind date with someone else, and he was so angry that he surrendered first.
I have to say that the fate between people is wonderful.
Just as Xue Ling said, she fell in love with Yi Jiefang as soon as she entered the logistics department. She thought that he treated her as a younger sister. After trying a few times and giving up, she never expected that things would take a turn for the better.
Nowadays, all the friends around her have children, their couples have harmonious relationships, and they live a happy life. There is laughter and joy at every gathering. Even Zhou Jiao is happy to participate in such an atmosphere.
Some people are born optimistic. When you communicate with them and are always in such an atmosphere, your emotions are most easily infected and your mood will naturally become cheerful.
If you meet someone who is always depressed or likes to gossip about others, everyone is so busy, who has the time to listen to your complaints and nagging?
So, it's not without reason that the kind of life you have depends on the kind of people you're with. Putting the others aside, Yi Shumin, after interacting with them more, has also begun to regain her former cheerful and cheerful personality...
