Back in the courtyard, Zhou Jiao can't afford to pack. After settling down safely, she immediately asked Zhang Guoqing to go to Cheng's house and invite them to dinner, especially Cheng Ruzhu and his wife.

After seeing him go out, she said a few words with Zhou Xiaozheng in a hurry and went directly to the kitchen.

When Aunt Chen saw her, she couldn't help smiling. "I'll prepare for it at night. Go and have a rest."

"It's a pity that my aunt didn't go with us this time. Aunt Wang bought a lot of bargains. I don't know what you like. I bought something for you. Don't be disgusted with my aunt. We'll choose what we don't like in the evening, and I'll give it away. "

Aunt Chen laughed and complained, "why do you spend money? I have been asked to bring a lot of things back, but I don't know how to save this time. "

Zhou Jiao said with a smile, "Auntie, don't say polite words. I treat you as a family. I'm not polite to you. If I'm an outsider, I'll have to hide something for fear of getting in the way of people's eyes. "

After hearing this, Aunt Chen nodded happily. In the courtyard, she is the most leisure. Zhou family has a simple population, is not picky, does not like gossiping, the family are very easy to get along with, especially Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter are more kind.

She didn't stay for a few days when she came home this time. She really missed Jiaojiao's craft. She looked at Xiao Wang and they were all fat and giggled every day. They were also lucky to be assigned to the Zhou family.

"Jiaojiao, you are not at home these days. Several of your cousins came here once. I didn't let them into your room, saying that they couldn't get in without a key. You remember saying you forgot to give it to me. " Aunt Chen looked out and whispered.

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth with a straight smile and nodded quickly.

Aunt Chen gave her a look and whispered, "don't be heartless! People's eyes are on you. Fortunately, the clothes your mother bought you are just right next to your body, otherwise you would not have borrowed them She couldn't say the extra words. If you say too much, you will stir up trouble.

Zhou Jiao began to pick up the dishes and listened to Aunt Chen's words. She was so happy that she laughed. She said, the people's eyes are bright.

"By the way, there are several people looking for Xiao Wu. I will put them on paper and put them on your study desk. All the boys in the courtyard. "

"It's my aunt. I don't think they have anything to do. Maybe they can play with Xiao Wu. They don't come in the evening. They must come tomorrow night. Has my father been home for dinner these days

Aunt Chen smiles and shakes her head. "He can't eat until he comes back. As soon as your aunt arrives, he will come to eat it. By the way, he has to make some more dumplings. Two days ago, your uncles and aunts all came to eat. They also brought two bags of flour. "

Zhou Jiao couldn't laugh. "What kind of stuffing do they like? Last time I sent it, my aunt also told me not to bother, want to pack again. I can't starve them without my aunt and grandmother. "

"Shrimp and mutton are the favorite, and leeks are the most left. Your father likes sauerkraut and shrimps best

"Well, the leeks are delicious. I'm not used to it. It's my grandfather's and my little uncle's favorite flavor. My grandfather hasn't come home these days? "

Aunt Chen said with a smile, "your grandfather and your aunt have been here two or three times. Now he also likes to eat shrimp and pickled vegetables. Jiaojiao, are these hairy crabs and swordfish? Will you prepare too much in the evening? "

"My little uncle seldom comes. It's all from my aunt and grandmother's friends this time. It's not good to see if you don't serve the table. " Zhou Jiao didn't say that she had a lot of family. She was thinking about calling the Lin family over.

She wiped her hands, hid by the door and looked at it. She saw her mother holding the baby and chatting with her father.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Chen asked curiously.

Zhou Jiao said with a smile, "it's OK. I don't think the guests have come yet. " After that, I heard several children of the Cheng family yelling at their elder sister.

"You go out to accompany the guests. There are only two dishes left here. I'll leave the rest." Aunt Chen hastened her out.

Zhou Jiao looked at her watch and found it was already late. She began to tidy up the dishes and take them out.

"Oh, we're doing it again? Tell us, what else do you need to do? " Cheng's daughter-in-law, Liu Ting, rushed forward and said.

Zhou Jiao didn't treat them politely, "Auntie, just help me to bring up the dishes. Why didn't Xiao Wu come back with you

"He's going to call your grandfather's house." With that, she winked at Zhou Jiao. Seeing her understanding, she laughed and went to the kitchen. Just now her father-in-law asked Xiao Wu to call them.

Zhou Jiao thought about it, followed her to the kitchen and whispered, "how long has it been? Why haven't you come yet? "

"Your little uncle just met us. It seems that they all gather in their house to discuss the issue of their granddaughter's dowry. Don't pay attention to them. They will come later. " Liu Ting said in a displeased tone.

When she saw that the Lin family was so grand about their granddaughter's marriage, she remembered that they had let Jiaojiao marry into Zhang Jia alone, and she hated it very much. It seems that I haven't seen a man in my eight life. I'm well-known in the courtyard. If they marry later, she must do well.

"We don't compare with them. It's not dowry that makes a family. Our fifth is a hundred times better than those people. "

Seeing her worried face, Zhou Jiao took her and said with a smile, "well. I'm all yours. I really don't feel aggrieved. They like to be extravagant and lively, but I'm afraid of trouble. Now, who is better than me? But, auntie, you'll have to hurt me more. ""Silly girl!" Liu Ting patted her hand and said with a smile.

Except for Mrs. Lin's illness, the rest of the Lin family came. Perhaps it was the old lady's illness that was too natural for everyone to rest assured. Lin's faces were full of smiles and jubilant.

Zhou Jiao added another table in a hurry. She didn't care to exchange greetings with the Lin family. She nodded, laughed and said hello, and returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Fortunately, what she had just prepared was a large plate, which could be split into two tables. After she drove Liu Ting and Cheng Ruzhu out to sit down, she began to cook hot dishes herself.

As the hot dishes were served, she returned to the women's table in the living room.

At this time, the female table, Lin Liying is talking lively, she also did not say a word, quietly came to the side to listen to gossip.

As soon as Mrs. Cheng saw her, she sat down beside her and pointed to the dishes in the bowl for her to eat quickly.

"The girl should be satisfied now. My sister-in-law has paid for the loss of her wife this time. All the betrothal money is brought back to her, and there are so many things to accompany her. The Yang family should be happy and crazy. " Lin Liying said with a smile.

"72 legs, radio, bicycle, watch. Only in the courtyard. " Mrs. Cheng said to Zhou Jiao in a low, smiling voice. She didn't mean to say that the bride price of the other party was only 300 yuan, so much for the dowry.

Zhou Jiao looked up at her with a smile. She bowed her head and ate her own food. With a sarcastic smile in her heart, her mother's 30000 yuan swallowed by Gu Ruyi was enough for the Lin family to toss around.

Since Uncle Wang of Northwest China returned to Beijing. After she learned that the other party entrusted Lin AI Dang and his wife to mail those high-end watches to her, she looked down upon the Lin family even more.

People say that they are extremely poor and ferocious. Their Lin family has not yet reached the point of poverty, and they have no face at all. It's just a joke to show off. The most ridiculous thing is that they are good at covering the fire under the quilt. They can smell it outside. They comfort themselves and others can't smell it.

Especially at this moment, I saw Lin AI Dang on the men's table talking loudly without any guilt. What kind of mother has a son! In vain, she prepared a good table of dishes.

After the dinner, Zhou Jiao specially left Mrs. Cheng. Seeing off the guests, she and the old lady went back to Zhou Xiaozheng's study. Originally, the Lin family was her foreign family, and she didn't intend to let the old lady know. But now she's going back to the northeast. Those people's faces will turn black and white, so as to clean up their dirty work. She's worried that there are things her father can't intervene in, let alone her mother. It can only be placed on the old lady, so that she has a good idea of what to do.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng didn't know what words to use to comfort her child. She went forward to hold Zhou Jiao silently and patted her on the back.
