After tossing and turning, Zhou Jiao said goodbye to Aunt Fang and got back into the car. She put some things into the space and it was almost time to get off work.
Zhang Guoqing first sent Zhou Jiao home to take a photo. While waiting in the car, he glanced at the "defective product" on the back seat. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
In fact, if we really consider the current social interactions, these are already two great gifts.
Even though it’s a small amount, it can be used as a betrothal gift.
His silly wife!
Forget it, I'll just do it myself.
Then he thought of his parents in his hometown and sighed inwardly.
"Bang bang..." There was a sound of knocking on the car window.
Zhang Guoqing stuck his head out and gave Wan Dayong a cold look. "I've said enough, why don't you come in?"
Wan Dayong walked up to him and asked, "Come to pick up your wife?"
That's all nonsense! Zhang Guoqing glanced at him and asked, "Are you really not getting in the car?"
Wan Dayong scratched his hair irritably, "Working overtime tonight."
Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter and said gloatingly, "Work hard and strive to reach a higher level."
"Are you my friend? I thought you would help me find a way to skip class."
Zhang Guoqing waved his hand. "No, work is important. You can have fun whenever you want. I wasn't kidding when I asked you to get in the car. There's food in the back."
When Wan Dayong heard what he said, he immediately turned around, opened the back door of the car, got in and closed the door.
"How do you spend the long night? Take more back."
"Where did it come from?"
Zhang Guoqing glared at him unhappily and noticed that the guy had already started stuffing his food into his mouth. "I stole it."
"Hahaha, take me to steal some tomorrow." Wan Dayong was still thinking about his wife while eating, "I won't take it to work, you can send some home."
Zhang Guoqing's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Has anyone told you that this is shameless?"
Wan Dayong laughed disapprovingly, "I'm already a good friend. I didn't ask you to send it all over."
"Come on, bro. You're awesome."
"You just found out."
Zhang Guoqing looked at him amusedly, "Didn't Dazhi call you?"
"Yes, I wasn't there. Any activities?"
"What the hell, he should have sent a basket of food to your house today." This was what he and Dazhi had agreed on. Some things couldn't be provided to everyone, but a few good friends couldn't be left out when it came to food.
"One for each of the five of us?"
"That's right, could it be that there are also such things in the entire compound?"
"Is this guy marrying a young wife again? Look, there are food and wash basins. Why are you so polite? I have a lot of these things at home."
Zhang Guoqing was so angry at this idiot that he laughed, "Okay, this is what I just bought today."
"Oh, are you getting married?"
"Go to hell!"
Wan Dayong was so happy that he winked at him and laughed.
After a long while, he stopped laughing and asked, "This is not the way to spend money. Don't buy it in the future. I received the most of these when I got married. Just come to my house and get them."
Zhang Guoqing shook his head. "Defective goods, cheap." As he spoke, he saw Zhou Jiao approaching from a distance and nudged Wan Dayong. "Alright, get to work."
"Oh... I really want to just pat my butt and go with you. My life is so hard." Although he said that, it didn't delay his actions at all. He grabbed some fruit, opened the car door and got out directly.
But when he saw the figure in front of him, he was so angry that he pointed his finger at Zhang Guoqing again and again... Well, he said why was he urging him to go back? It was another pig-dog friend who valued women over friends!
Now Zhang Guoqing was winking at him and laughing.
The two brothers played around for a while, and when Wan Dayong saw him coming out for a while, he waved back and left. Of course, he didn't forget to make a few jokes about his buddies before leaving.
When Zhou Jiao came over, she only saw Wan Dayong's back and Zhang Guoqing, who was grinning foolishly in the car. "Do you want to wait for him?"
"That guy happened to be on duty." Zhang Guoqing would not ask her if it was okay for her to leave before the appointed time. With his wife's courage, she must have been prepared.
As soon as she got in the car and sat down, Zhang Guoqing started the car and slowly drove away. "Is there anywhere else you want to go?"
"Forget it, go back early so you can return the car."
"Yes, ma'am." Zhang Guoqing guessed that she was really worried about delaying him from getting off work, so she chose to leave early, which was a rare choice.
It was not yet the rush hour for getting off work, and starting this year, apart from major holidays and events, there were no more parades and demonstrations as before, so there was no hindrance on the way back to the compound.
In Ping'an's school, military training activities started again around noon. Since he had already asked for leave, he made an excuse to go back home and started studying secretly upstairs.
When it comes to studying secretly, it is not an exaggeration at all.
In recent years, due to political stagnation, schools across the country have only encouraged the study of ideological books such as "Selected Works of Mao Zedong Thought". Studying mathematics, physics and chemistry is considered a "white and expert road" and will be criticized.
In order to truly learn the knowledge in the textbooks, many people basically study on their own, which is like underground activities, especially in school, they avoid their classmates.
Fortunately, the Zhou family had the facilities to allow their three children to study independently. With a comfortable second floor and guidance from their highly-educated parents, safety was a given.
Therefore, in addition to learning those feudal dregs, the three Ping'an brothers have begun to secretly teach themselves elementary mathematics, trigonometry, junior high school physics, chemistry, and basic electrical engineering. Ping'an, the six-year-old, has now continued to teach himself advanced mathematics, university Chinese, and several foreign languages.
Just as Zhou Jiao advised, if you want to be better than ordinary people, in addition to the talents given to you by God, you also need to spend a lot of time to recuperate and build up your strength.
Compared to his peers who have already relaxed and are enjoying the present life, Ping An always remembers that how great your future achievements will be depends on how long you prepare.
When Zhou Jiao went upstairs to change into her home clothes, she saw her son buried in the lounge drafting. Worried, she came to his side and waited for him to finish. She asked reluctantly, "Are you too tired?"
Ping An laughed and said, "Mom, this is not like you."
Zhou Jiao patted his head with a smile, "Silly boy, remember to combine work and rest."
"I usually play and have fun with them, and I study occasionally. I feel it's pretty relaxing."
Zhou Jiao is very confident in her son's learning ability, but she is worried that the burden she is putting on him is too heavy.
"Did my dad go pick up my brother?"
Zhou Jiao patted her son's head in amusement. "You worry so much. Don't worry, he will definitely do what he promised. If you're hungry, go downstairs and eat something."
Ping An saw her leave and asked curiously, "Mom, don't you want to ask about what happened this morning?"
Zhou Jiao waved back, "What's there to ask? My son can handle such a small matter."
Ping An suddenly laughed out loud.
As Zhou Jiao turned around to close the door, she smiled meaningfully, "Some people and some things can affect your mood because you take them seriously. As long as you don't take them to heart, they are nothing."
Ping An waved goodbye to her, listened to her footsteps as she left, and looked at the door thoughtfully. So, his mother had really let it go.
