Chapter 1370: Coming Right Away

Chapter 1370 -1242: Coming Right Away

Oh my goodness!

Came just like that.

Zhou Jiao quickly took out the set of plans for veterans from space and, thinking it over, also pulled out the plans for orphans of martyrs.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at her obliquely; she really knows how to hide things. Even he didn’t know that she had secretly prepared the plans so far in advance!

It seems his wife is very energetic, no need to worry about her not sleeping well at night.

“Hehe.” Zhou Jiao smiled flatteringly at him, “I just occasionally remember these kinds of plans. When inspiration strikes, I prepare some ahead. Could you take a look at which parts need adding?”

“I prefer when you occasionally remember those little movies.”

“You’re going to die.” Zhou Jiao reached out and pinched his waist, “Be honest, have you been listening to some crude jokes recently?”

Zhang Guoqing grabbed her and pressed her against him, laughing happily, “I have indeed heard quite a few, like ‘at thirty one becomes a wolf, at forty a tiger,’ and whatnot…”

Zhou Jiao was so frightened she hurried to cover his mouth, her eyes kept darting toward the doorway.

“Hahaha… Baby, you’re really passionate. Don’t worry, the door’s been locked long ago… Ouch, ouch, don’t pull my ear, I won’t dare anymore.”

“You’re exactly what being naughty is!”

Zhang Guoqing gritted his teeth, “Your man is only over forty! Being naughty is just for you!”

“Do you think you’re justified?”

“Whether justified or not, let’s talk in the room first.”

“Hey, don’t carry me; brother, I’ll listen to you, can’t I walk by myself?”

A “bang” sound echoed, “Behave, if you don’t want to alert our parents, you might as well shout louder. And don’t let your eyeballs roll around, grandpa doesn’t believe he can’t handle you!”

“…”

The study door opens and closes again, the two plans on the desk stared at each other, wondering what happened? Just hard to come out from the dark room.

This, this, is it going to be locked away again?

Early the next morning, Zhang Guoqing, after reviewing the plans, took them to submit to his father-in-law before going to work. His wife’s ambitious plan, he didn’t think it needed any amendment from him.

Of course, realistically speaking, it’s better to let his father-in-law consider where amendments are necessary. Like establishing a military supply processing factory, or a transport company.

Do these conditions conflict with current policies?

“Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish.”

Compared to easily donating a sum.

He more wanted the admirable and lovable soldiers to have a good place to return to, wanting these people to stand in the world when things get hectic later.

Thinking of those retired heroes from his previous life, forced by life, kneeling to reality becoming security guards, even the miserable late years of those retired disabled soldiers.

Zhang Guoqing’s eyes dimmed; this country owes them too much, being in his position, he has to do something for these unsung heroes.

Reform and opening-up is a great initiative benefiting the nation and people, but it also reformed people’s hearts, losing the purest faith.

Zhou Xiaozheng rolled up the notebook and knocked his right hand, “When will the funds be in place?”

“Around New Year’s.”

“Still one billion?”

“Yes. The rest won’t be withdrawn to the country; since last month Jiao Jiao has already arranged investments in other places. Dad, I plan to have May 1st take over.”

“Alright. The kid has quite a lot of tasks recently and can’t come back for the New Year, just use this as an excuse to keep it from Jiao Jiao. Don’t worry, it’s not too dangerous work.”

Not worry?

How can he not worry, Zhang Guoqing can only smile wryly and nod. But his youngest son solemnly explained his desire to control forces in the shadows.

His son thinks from the big picture, guarantees repeatedly that there’s no danger, and facing a face similar to his wife’s, how could he refuse?

One day, he’d be chased out of the bedroom by his wife.

This little brat!

Zhou Xiaozheng comfortingly patted the shoulder of his son-in-law who shares the same predicament before leaving the living room for work.

There is a saying, “A grown son can’t be controlled by his mother.” When children grow up, not even his own mother nor himself as grandfather can stop his ambition.

That little monkey!

Among three grandsons, only his eloquence is the best. Not sure how he’s been taught, but he ended up being schemed by him, not easy to say, losing face!

Zhou Xiaozheng’s eyes were filled with deep amusement. Letting his son-in-law rest assured, he wasn’t lying on this point. Their May 1st is not one to be trifled with!

In the old house’s courtyard that afternoon, crystal-like icicles hung from the eaves, and a big snowman was piled in the front yard.

In the courtyard with front hall and rear chambers, Zhou Jiao prefers to receive guests in the front yard’s hall. The back yard is too far, and she doesn’t like outsiders entering.

Seeing it was not yet the appointed time, Zhou Jiao brought a chair, sat in the patio basking in the sun, while watching Zhang Guoqing play with a few dogs.

——On a rare weekend, leisurely and comfortable, she is determined to enjoy the warmth of winter sunshine ahead of time.

Smelling the unique sweet aroma drifting from the kitchen where Aunt Yuan personally made pastries, she took a sip of tea, contentedly letting out a sigh like a cat.

With Da Bao’s military dogs all straightening their backs in unison, watching the kitchen awaiting feeding, this scene made Zhang Guoqing laugh out loud unable to contain it.

“Oh wow, this little life makes me jealous, I said why don’t you two stay in the small villa, always running to the hutong here.”

Walking past the shadow wall, Yi Jiefang shook the net bag in his hand, “What’s cooking that smells so good?”

“Come on in, specially had Aunt Yuan prepare pastries to greet you all.” Zhang Guoqing walked forward to welcome, “Hey, got all polite suddenly, still know to bring a gift when visiting?”

“Get out of here, brought for Da Bao and them. Today, I’m cooking at your place, if anything good, just serve it, don’t hide it, brother-in-law.”

“Call me brother once, I’ll treat you to a full Manchu banquet.”

“Think brother’s uncultured huh? Still a full Manchu banquet? Just pick some vegetables from the greenhouse in the yard. Brother won’t be polite with you, vegetarian dishes are fine.”

Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes indignantly, “The greenhouse only has fur leaves, all ruined by you guys, and the seeds were just sown.”

While the two elder brothers idly chat, Zhou Jiao stood up and pulled away the old sister coming behind Yi Jiefang, “Why didn’t you bring Little Tangtang along?”

“Don’t even mention, this girl seems to have an appointment to go to the barracks to see Liu Yi. You tell me, is my daughter raised to help your family?”

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded in amusement.

Indeed can’t deny that females gravitate outward. This little girl when not in school during weekdays goes to their house on weekends or visits Liu Yi.

“To make it up to you, I specially kept strawberries and tomatoes.”

“Precisely the two things my daughter likes, aren’t you keeping them for the kid? Don’t let me finish them and then tell the kid they were all snacked by her greedy mom.”

“Oh my, you already guessed the truth?”

Arm in arm, the two happily chuckled together.

Behind them, Zhang Guoqing winked at Yi Jiefang, staring directly at his knees, whispering with a smile, “Didn’t have to kneel on the washboard last night?”

“They say it’s waiting for the durian to arrive, you get it!”

Zhang Guoqing laughed, his whole body shaking forward and backward, reaching out to punch his chest, “Quite the man, daring to face consequences!”
