Chapter 1311: Chapter 1183: The Overseas Craze

Do you believe it?

Can’t you change your tone? You’re going to die?

Zhou Jiao glanced at her sideways, speechless.

——Over 40 years old and still wants to go abroad?

With parents above, children below, and sons and daughters in between, where does responsibility stand? Li Qinglin in her impression was not such a person!

Hu Xiaohui knew she couldn’t hide it from her best friend, sighed, "Sigh... it’s Little White Dragon, that brat."

Little White Dragon?

Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, a nearly 40-year-old man still called Little White Dragon, there’s no one else like him. His son, Little Little White Dragon?

The last time she saw self-proclaimed handsome Old Bai Long was last year, what day was it? Seems like it was on a snowy day, he was showing off eating Western food at Old Mo’s, right?

Oh, that goofball even greeted her in Russian then, acting all gentlemanly, as if he forgot it was him who stole the silver platter from Old Mo back then.

The embarrassing mischief from that goofball’s youth could accumulate into a Chinese Grand Dictionary.

Is he starting again?

"What do you think he’s thinking? I initially thought it was his son wanting to go abroad, who knew it was this guy. Guess what this old fellow said?

He started fine, saying he wanted to continue Li Hongzhang’s legacy of using foreigners to control foreigners. My uncle even praised him a few times, but still couldn’t change that stubborn nature.

Once he started boasting, all sorts of things came out. Talking about distant lands and poetry, saying a bunch of sour words copied from who knows where, why doesn’t he just ascend to heaven?

This dude even cracked a joke, saying that deep in his soul, he often feels lonely and needs to go out to unwind... Well, there you go!

Once he said that, my cousins made an even bigger fuss, blowing the roof off, saying how back in the day educated youth returned to the city without wanting wives, and now he’s going abroad without wanting wife and children..."

Zhou Jiao silently handed her a teacup: Feeling like this one came to vent! Really, why is this silly girl so eager to come over!

"...My aunt says she’s old now and can’t hit her child, asked me to help her give a beat. What kind of things are going on here?"

Zhou Jiao asked her, intrigued, "Did you hit him?"

Hu Xiaohui rolled her eyes at her, "I heard your little cousin also went abroad, right? His wife didn’t make a fuss?"

"Tch~" Zhou Jiao returned her a disdainful look, "Don’t get too happy. My niece-in-law has a good temperament, would never be so unreasonable."

"Really no fuss?"

Zhou Jiao nodded decisively. She truly wasn’t lying, though the reason, it somewhat relates to her family’s May 1st and Cheng Shao’an going abroad together.

Though the three aren’t at the same local university, they’re all in the United States.

She just doesn’t know how these two troublemakers convinced their wives, with the United States only being slightly bigger than Beijing, it’s really fascinating!

Especially the two young nieces-in-law are still college students, it frustrates Zhou Jiao, making her want to open up their heads to see what structure is inside?

"Sigh... Young people really do accept new things quickly."

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This one dares mock the young people, haven’t you seen her when abroad, if no one supervised, she might have joined bars?

Hu Xiaohui glared at her resentfully, "Are we really good sisters? I came to ask for your help!"

"What’s there to think about? You tell your sister-in-law, say that her man, once abroad, not only will his position rise faster, but he can buy big color TVs and big refrigerators in the duty-free zones abroad. It’s just a year of study time, not a study abroad, what’s the fuss, truly shortsighted!"

"Really?"

"Why not try it?" Zhou Jiao hesitated a bit, "From what I see in my unit, those female colleagues, when their husbands are about to go abroad for inspection, they get thrilled because they can buy big items."

She didn’t know if it would work? After all, everyone’s brain structure is different.

She just knows, given Little White Dragon’s character, he won’t worship foreign things. If he privately stays abroad and doesn’t return, Bai Family couldn’t afford such a face.

But whether he buys back big color TV or big refrigerator, that’s not her concern. With Old Bai Long’s always self-satisfied boasting spirit, it’s estimated that just that salary isn’t enough to nibble even a few pieces of bread abroad, as for wanting to eat Western food and sip red wine, that’s quite a stretch!

"Alright! I’ll try first, if not, I’ll go beat him! My grandpa, before he passed, asked us siblings to take care of him a bit more, he’s close to me, wouldn’t feel at ease otherwise."

"You’re so fierce, did your mom ever talk to you about this?"

"Her? She’s busy taking care of her grandchild there."

Zhou Jiao knowingly shifted the topic.

Back then, the fierce Iron Lady also aged, no matter how partial she was to her ex-husband’s only bloodline, a married daughter is like spilled water, finally, the true treasure is the grandchild.

It’s an unhappy topic, though Hu Xiaohui’s cheerful personality doesn’t sweat the small stuff, she should still feel uncomfortable inside, right?

Otherwise, all these years, festivals and holidays, she would go to Bai Family rather than her own home. No matter how generous and good the stepfather is, it’s just a show of face.

The two sisters sat there, throwing a sentence east and west, seeing Zhou Xiaozheng was about to return home, Hu Xiaohui still adhered to her usual behavior, hurriedly slipped away.

Miao Lishan, who just returned and heard a few words, immediately burst into laughter. Her husband is pretty good, except he doesn’t like to say unnecessary things, oh, and doesn’t frequently show smiles.

Zhou Jiao sent the friend out and came back, seeing her mother still laughing, could only shake her head: Sadly, Hu Xiaohui doesn’t come to her house often, otherwise her mom would be so happy!

Miao Lishan stopped laughing, asked her query, "Is his wife worried he won’t return home?"

"Others may worry, but he won’t. What is Bai Family? A whole family either in the education system or courts, Little White Dragon wouldn’t dare to take risks."

For family, even if there are mountains of gold and silver waiting abroad, Little White Dragon must consider the meaning of "public dispatch". After so many years of the old Bai Family playing with the pen, who would be foolish?

If truly wanting to stay abroad, wait till after completing studies to stay a few years, then self-fund going abroad, which for Bai Family isn’t a big issue.

"What about you? Really not going abroad?"

Zhou Jiao slowly shook her head, "Not going, definitely not going."

"Not going is fine, opportunities to travel abroad are abundant. Heard your unit might go abroad for inspection in the second half of the year, and you’ll probably lead the team."

"Hehe." Zhou Jiao smiled at her mother but didn’t want to talk about this, "Why did you come home so early today? My little aunt is busy?"

"What’s needed, has been prepared almost completely. Your little aunt has a new plan again, said she’s going to stew chili sauce for the kids, I don’t know how, so I came back first."

Zhou Jiao incredulously blinked. Her little aunt’s speed is a mystery, not fearing that preparing too early might cause the chili sauce to spoil!

Motherly love is truly precious!

This one already forgot she was also preparing a pile of food in tight urgency, even with barely-touched dried sweet potato occasionally chewed by her family’s May 1st.

Not to mention Buddha Jumps Over the Wall being mandatory every weekend during this period.

Less is more, almost making Zhang Guoqing want to vomit! If he hadn’t cleverly mentioned the son talking about other dishes, this dish might have been on the table until the youngest son’s departure abroad.

Though you plan to make the kids fed up so they won’t miss it overseas, still, it’s too much, right?
