Zhang Guoqing got up early in the morning, happily ran to the yard to sweep the snow, just about to loudly sing out "Our common folks, today is really joyous."
Thinking about going up the mountain to hunt later, he swung the iron shovel quickly.
Today, except for Zhang Guoqiang who had to go to work, all the men in the family would go up the mountain with dry food. At this time, Mother Zhang was lying in bed, hearing the sound of sweeping outside, she knew her youngest son had gotten up.
She quickly lifted the blanket and hurriedly dressed.
Mr. Zhang was awakened by her, "Why the rush, take your time. It’s still early."
"You stay lying down, I’m going to find my youngest son."
Mr. Zhang sat up and realized that the youngest son had probably gotten up around five, so he got up along with his wife. The couple both smiled when they heard the sound of the west and east wings’ doors opening.
In the bedroom, Zhou Jiao began organizing the dry food and clothing for Zhang Guoqing. Although he said he would be at most there for two nights, just in case, she prepared everything necessary. Such as medicine for injuries and fever, better safe than sorry.
Last night, a few young wives from next door stayed chatting with her too late, and she was in the dark about the situation outside, unsure if a small business could be started now.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, Zhou Jiao pulled him into the bedroom.
After listening, Zhang Guoqing shook his head repeatedly. If they really sold couplets, his wife would be exhausted.
If she had to rely on herself for the calligraphy, spending the capital and effort, and if anything went wrong, she would feel guilty. If his father-in-law knew that his precious daughter was exhausting herself over the couplets for such a small amount of money, he would definitely scold him to death.
Looking into her eyes, Zhang Guoqing really couldn’t bear to refuse, so he averted his gaze and said softly, "Jiao Jiao, your intention is good. But people’s hearts are unpredictable.
Maybe you made money, but if Lin Juhua can’t keep it secret and tells others. The less trouble, the better. If there’s really an issue, we are the ones who need to solve it with effort and money, and get no benefit from it."
