"Old Zhou, isn't this your eldest son's daughter?"
"I haven't seen this girl for a while. Didn't she go to the countryside to work in the fields? Is she back to visit her family?"
"Old Zhou will be very lucky in the future. His granddaughter actually came here in a jeep."
…
Everyone was looking at the jeep curiously. The person who got out of the car was not a big leader, but the neighbor's granddaughter.
Who is that man holding the child? I haven't heard that the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family is getting married!
Fortunately, there were no big bosses in this era, and those who could drive jeeps were leaders, otherwise there would definitely be rumors that Zhou’s granddaughter was a mistress.
"Granddaughter, are you back?"
Zhou Qianxiang couldn't believe his eyes.
The eldest granddaughter came back and brought her children to see him in a jeep.
"It's me, Grandpa. I'm back to see you and Grandma."
Zhou Fengying could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry, my dear granddaughter. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Your grandma is at home. Let's go home."
Zhou Qianxiang picked up his small stool, pulled his granddaughter, and walked tremblingly towards the family building, leaving behind a crowd of onlookers in the yard.
"Old Zhou's granddaughter has really made it big. Did you see the gifts the young man behind her is carrying? Maotai liquor and Zhonghua cigarettes. These are not things that ordinary people can afford."
At that time, the bags used to hold gifts were all net bags, so you could see at a glance what was inside.
"There's even a radio. Now Lao Zhou doesn't have to worry about not getting a seat when he wants to listen to the radio."
"So everyone should not be too biased towards boys. Who knows, one of your daughters or granddaughters might be a successful one!"
The workers' families in the yard were talking about it. Zhou Qianxiang had already taken his granddaughter back to his home on the second floor.
"Old lady, look who's here?"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qianxiang shouted to his wife who was busy in the kitchen.
"Do you have any other distinguished guests? Don't delay me from pickling salted eggs."
The old couple have spent most of their lives together and know each other very well. Zhou Qianxiang worked as a waiter in the old society and retired after working as a worker for only a few years after liberation.
Among the relatives on both sides and the friends around him, none of them are officials.
In Zhou Qianxiang's words, there is no trace of officialdom in his ancestral graves.
"Grandma, I'm Fengying, I'm here to see you two."
Zhou Fengying put the gift down, her voice trembling slightly.
"Fengying, you're finally back. How could you be so cruel? Didn't you say you get home leave when you go to the countryside?"
Chai Sujuan wiped the water off her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen quickly.
"Grandma, I want to come back to see you, but I can't find enough money to go home!"
Zhou Fengying threw herself into her grandmother's arms and burst into tears.
"Your biased parents, don't they miss their daughter? Good child, don't cry."
Zhou Fengying's words made the old lady very distressed. Yes! Which child doesn't miss home?
But for a girl from the city to work in the countryside, she would be lucky to earn enough work points to eat, so how could she save enough for the travel expenses?
The eldest son and his wife are partial to each other and probably have never helped their granddaughter.
Chai Sujuan patted her granddaughter's back gently, just like when she was a child.
"Wow~~"
The little guy who was sleeping soundly in Xiao Fuxing's arms was probably woken up by Zhou Fengying's crying, and immediately started crying loudly to express his dissatisfaction.
"Give me my son now."
Zhou Fengying quickly wiped away her tears and took her son from Xiao Fuxing's arms.
"Fengying, is this your son?"
Just now, the old couple's attention was all on their granddaughter. Only now did they realize the existence of the little girl, as well as the two people standing in the living room a little awkwardly.
"Well, grandpa and grandma, I'll feed the baby first, and then I'll come out and introduce them to you."
The little guy wants to eat as soon as he wakes up, and he cries breathlessly if he can't get the food into his mouth.
Zhou Fengying carried her son into the room, fed him, coaxed him to sleep, and carefully placed him on the bed.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is my man Xiao Fuxing, and this is our nephew Yang Baiyi, our eldest sister's son."
Zhou Fengying proudly introduced her man to her grandparents who loved her the most.
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
Xiao Fuxing quickly greeted him.
"well!"
"The poor have their own way of living, and the rich have their own way of living. As long as you two have the same mind and energy, and work hard while you are still young, you will always have a good life."
The eldest son told them that his granddaughter had found a man to marry in Northeast China and did not receive a single cent of betrothal gift.
At that time, the eldest son even scolded his granddaughter for being an ungrateful person and not knowing that he needed to pay the bride price to subsidize the family. He was then kicked out by the old couple.
"Old woman, look at the gifts your granddaughter brought us. Doesn't she look poor?"
Zhou Qianxiang pointed to the gifts on the table.
He didn't know whether his eldest son lied or his granddaughter deceived her father. In any case, the family his granddaughter married into was definitely not as bad as his eldest son said.
"Malted milk, dim sum, Maotai liquor, Zhonghua cigarettes, and, oh my goodness, a radio.
"Granddaughter, are you guys not coming over? Why are you bringing so many things?"
Just now, her attention was all on her eldest granddaughter, and Chai Sujuan didn't pay any attention to the things on the table.
"Grandma, we got married in the Northeast. It's been so long since we came to visit you two. This is also a small token of our gratitude as the younger generation."
Xiao Fuxing loved his daughter-in-law very much, and he loved her as well as the whole family, and he respected the two old people very much.
"Old lady, our grandson-in-law is no ordinary man. Stand by the window and take a look. The car parked downstairs is the one they drove over.
My eldest granddaughter just got out of the car, and if she hadn't called me first, I wouldn't have dared to recognize her."
Zhou Qianxiang's tone was full of pride.
For the elderly, the most joyful thing is seeing their children and grandchildren succeed, and they feel confident when talking to their old friends.
"Granddaughter, what does your in-laws do?"
The old lady leaned on the window and looked out, and there was indeed a jeep downstairs.
The people in the yard were gathered there, pointing and talking. A few children were running around the jeep, wanting to touch it but not daring to.
"Grandma, Fengying didn't lie to you. When we got married, our family's situation was indeed not very good. Fengying did not ask for a betrothal gift when she married me."
Xiao Fuxing also knew that because of this, there was a lot of unpleasantness between his wife and his family.
"So what's with this gift and the car outside?"
The old lady asked in confusion.
"Grandma, difficulties are temporary. My father is the mayor of Sioux City now."
If the people in front of him were Zhou Fengying's parents, Xiao Fuxing might still have some concerns and be unwilling to tell the truth.
But now he is facing the grandparents who have loved Zhou Fengying since childhood. Xiao Fuxing believes that he should be more sincere to the elderly so that they can feel at ease.
"mayor?"
The old couple looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
The eldest granddaughter actually married the mayor's son. The mayor was too far away for them.
Not to mention the mayor, they can't even see the factory director.
