During this trip, Mai Xiaomiao basically met all of Zhou Zhi's more important relatives in his hometown. On the way back to Manzhou, Zhou Zhi asked Mai Xiaomiao how he felt about them.
"It's all good." Mai Xiaomiao nodded: "How about we come back to catch fish in the summer? The second brother said that we can catch fish fry in the ditch and put them in the fields in the summer, so we don't have to spend money to buy them."
"In terms of the fishing environment, Jiachuan is far worse than Lianhe Township." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "But there are a lot of things to do here in the summer. There are no fireflies in Lianhe Township, and it is much older here."

"Thank you for following me around these days, Xiaomiao."
"No, it's quite fun." Mai Xiaomiao said with a smile: "It's a bit funny to think that Xueshan will be a mother in nine months, and I will also be upgraded to an aunt."
"Well, I will probably be the baby's protector." Zhou Zhi smiled proudly: "If the monk dares to arrange for others, I will never be done with him."
"What is baby protection?"
"He is the godfather." Zhou Zhi smiled and told Mai Xiaomiao the customs of Jiachuan: "Godoffather. When we get to Manzhou, we will also go to visit my godfather and godmother, who are also students of Gu Lao."< br>
"Then can I be the baby's godmother?" Mai Xiaomiao asked.
"It should be okay." Zhou Zhi felt funny in his heart. The country did not stipulate that the godfather and godmother must be a couple, and he was embarrassed to talk about the loopholes with the American girl.
"Then I'll go talk to Xueshan." Mai Xiaomiao said with a smile: "You will be the Godoffather and I will be the Godofmather. We can't let others take over!"
Today was supposed to be a day to go to work, but when Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao went home, they were surprised to find that their mother had not gone to work and was pretending to be serving orchids in the yard.
Winter is the time when high-quality orchids are in full bloom. Dozens of pots of orchids are in full bloom. They are elegant and beautiful, with a subtle fragrance.
"Here comes a big job." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Mom! I dug up the Milanese tree in the eldest lady's small garden."
"Are you all back?" Mom smiled and said, "Xiao Miao has been so exhausted these past few days that she even fell asleep at the dinner table. You didn't take good care of your elbows."
"It's because I doze off a lot. Auntie, I can't blame my elbow." Mai Xiaomiao quickly explained.
"It's good to be asleep. Dozing off is a blessing." My mother didn't care what Zhou Zhi said about how to live a new life. She took Mai Xiaomiao's hand and sat on the chair in Xiaopingba in front of the house: "Auntie also followed me when I was young. Like you, you are still very sleepy now.”
"Which relatives have you visited?"
"I saw my aunt, brother Dayong, sister Xiaojuan, Xiaoyong, eldest sister-in-law, eldest cousin, eldest cousin-in-law, fourth cousin, fourth aunt, unitary cousin, unitary aunt, fifth uncle, fifth aunt, second cousin Brother, second cousin.”
"We've almost seen Jiachuan." My mother smiled and said, "After dinner, we will go visit Jiuzi's godfather and godmother."
"Well, you already told me on the way." Mai Xiaomiao nodded obediently.
Zhou Zhi was frightened when he heard this. He carried Mai Xiaomiao upstairs to sleep on his own, and his mother just said, "I used to sleep a lot when I was young"? This is a light weight, but the plan is huge...
"Milan likes the sun and loves fat, and his elbows will hit the door." Grandma said.
"Oh." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to pick up the hoe and plant flowers first: "I didn't take Grandma's Milan in vain. I exchanged it for a pair of Erwen birds. Grandma, I also brought you a pair of Erwen birds. The budgerigar is better than the budgie.”
"This pair of birds are very happy." Grandma was very happy to see the blue and one green budgies in the cage: "Last time you said that Mr. Yu would find a dog to raise. I thought that if I ran out, my legs and feet would be gone. If you can’t drive him back, let’s forget it. This is good and very gratifying.”
"I used to raise a few egg-laying chickens, and we had to deal with them during the establishment of the health system." My mother said, "The whole family has been unhappy for several days." "This is a bit overkill." Zhou Zhi sighed, but also Having no choice, he smiled and said: "What about those markets that dad manages?"
"What should we do? Send more troops to guard. Now several leaders from your dad's and his company have to work shifts in various markets on weekends to strictly guard against health problems."
"I hope I can be rated. This hard work will not be in vain." My mother also sighed: "By the way, what other arrangements do Xueshan and Yang He have?"
"There are no plans for the future," Zhou Zhi said: "Xueshan should go to Baimi Township to stay for a while, get to know the relatives there, and maybe get one in Baimi Township."
"When the classmates return to Jiachuan after the holidays, they might have to invite us again in the city. They are the earliest among the classmates to get married."
"Anyway, the group's wedding leave is one month, let them arrange it."
"Your private company really...gives more fake money than the state!"
"You don't see how much overtime you usually work." Zhou Zhi said to Milan at the door: "They are used for two purposes. It is not like the leisure of a state-owned enterprise of 'a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper for a day'."
"Sister-in-law, is this your son-in-law?" After the conversation, a middle-aged man wearing a cadre uniform and a red sleeve band walked over at the door: "Did you come back early from vacation?"
"My son is called Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi is called Uncle Li. He is the street official in our community."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Hello, Uncle Li." Zhou Zhi greeted quickly.
"Planting flowers? It's such a big one, um, it's beautiful."
"This is a Milan tree that was moved back from my hometown. Don't worry, Uncle Li. I will definitely clean it up after planting it and there won't be any dirt at all."
"Okay, okay, your yard is big, but it's always the cleanest. It's my duty to come over and say hello. I don't mean anything else."
"Lao Li, why don't you come in and sit for a while? I'm quite tired from patrolling all day long. Come in and drink some water and look at the flowers. It's almost time to get off work." Mom encouraged: "The real dragon I just brought here from Jiachuan Pomelo, come and try it!”
Lao Li only hesitated for a moment before walking in: "Oh, your orchids are blooming really well! My grandma is really good at raising flowers! Our family can't take care of these."
"Bring it to your home if you like it. If you're afraid it won't be well maintained, just wait until the flowers fade and bring it back to us!" My mother is quite generous.
"How embarrassing. This is..."
"Oh, this is my classmate named Mai Xiaomiao. They came back this time to attend the wedding of classmate Jia Chuan. They just came back."
"Then you and your family will have a good reunion." After eating two pieces of real dragon pomelo, Lao Li stood up and said with a smile: "I won't bother you anymore. I will also be watching the market on weekends. You tell Director Zhou that you don't need to go so early. After eating, Just stroll over for breakfast.”
"Put a few grapefruits on your elbow for Uncle Li, and bring one of the big pots of yellow orchids to Uncle Li." My mother was really enthusiastic.
After sending off the street officer, my mother said: "Lao Li helped your father to support this creation. Although we are not a systematic person, there are people on the street to help, and many things are easier to do." Much more.”
"Xiao Miao doesn't understand this, huh? I heard that you people in the United States do everything straight and don't talk about worldliness?" (End of Chapter)
