With Zhou Jiao’s question, Zhou Xiaozheng mentioned the current international and domestic relationships, and then described a segment from the newspapers in the past year, asking Zhou Jiao her thoughts and opinions. After she finished speaking, he began to coach her one by one, guiding Zhou Jiao in analyzing trends from small to large, leading to potential future directions, reminding his wife and daughter of what aspects to start paying attention to. Zhou Xiaozheng was very pleased with his daughter’s comprehension. Zhou Jiao’s breadth of knowledge opened up his interest greatly, especially since she wasn’t limited by the current situation in her vision; when he mentioned a detail, she could immediately connect it back and forth and draw conclusions. The topics of discussion between the father and daughter gradually expanded, and Zhou Xiaozheng started to test her understanding of classical literature over the past few years, guiding her to apply divergent thinking to real life. With the increasingly long conversations between the father and daughter, Lin Lishan was already listening drowsily towards the end. Wasn’t it about the small courtyard in the county? How did it go off-topic to everywhere else? It was only with difficulty that she waited until their conversation turned towards the courtyard in the county. Lin Lishan looked helplessly at the father and daughter, just about to interject, when he finally began to talk about subsequent arrangements. "That’s how we’ll arrange it for the county. Next are your two properties in Beijing and the house in SH. The five-entry courtyard in Beijing, even if you return in a couple of years, Dad doesn’t plan to let you live there. This time, our family can be allocated a small courtyard in the military compound, which will be enough for our whole family. Even if the compound is far from school, it’s better to buy another place near the school than to move in there. Since we’ve analyzed that many private courtyard houses in Beijing will be allocated to employees by units, and that large courtyard is too conspicuous, Dad needs to plan early. It’s best to lease both courtyards in Beijing to units for office use — that way, we have the initiative. The next time we sign for the leased courtyards, we won’t need rent. Instead, sign a time contract to for free to the Women’s Federation for a few years." Zhou Jiao nodded at her father, "Dad, I understand what you mean. I’ll listen to you. Offer free support to the national policies, follow T’s direction, go along with T." Zhou Xiaozheng gave a thumbs up, "As expected of my daughter, really smart. The benefits inside, Dad will recoup them, there’s no loss. Next is the SH house. You are nominally the only granddaughter of the elderly couple. The neighbors all know they have a granddaughter in the Northeast raised by her elders. When you’re 18, you’ll come back to look after the elders. Every time the elderly couple visits their hometown, they say it’s to see you. That house is very ordinary, the elders have a clean background, and there’s no one left in their hometown, so there’s no problem keeping it. The key is to keep the valuable items inside in your own hands. Is there anything else you want to ask Dad?" Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile. Her father handles things with no aftermath, everything is arranged perfectly. "And this year for Chinese New Year, you need to go to Beijing once. I will arrange the train sleeper and issues on the way. Ping’an will be a little over two months by then, there shouldn’t be any problems. We will wait for you to come home. Shanshan, did you talk to your daughter?" Lin Lishan looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile and said, "Yes, I haven’t finished telling her, and she already guessed it. She even anticipated what would happen at her grandmother’s house. She also planned to return home before the end of the year. She even thought about handling the SH house early to prevent trouble for you." Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled as he looked at Zhou Jiao, as expected she was his own, thinking about every aspect thoroughly. She probably had a good understanding of the Lin family’s matters too. Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 "This trip home, you need to organize your dowry well. Dispose of what needs to be disposed of and keep what needs to be kept on your own. Discuss this matter with Xiao Wu in advance. When to leave? How to arrange the time? Where to store those items? All need to be planned by both of you. Large objects can’t be stored in the big courtyard. Large items should be stored at the back of the small courtyard, there’s a secret room. You hide the small items yourself. Retrieve them early to resolve early." Zhou Xiaozheng wasn’t at all worried about his daughter and son-in-law’s capabilities. As for whether the son-in-law might change his mind in the future? He believes his Jiao Jiao can handle him. Zhou Jiao nodded. Her father’s emphasized tone on ’early retrieve early resolve’. She understood. Zhou Xiaozheng smiled with his eyes while patting her on the head. Talking with his own Jiao Jiao required no effort, a glance, a slight hint, and she understood it clearly. There was still one person he had to remind a few more words. "Shanshan, even your elder brother doesn’t know about the SH house, don’t slip your tongue. Your sister-in-law used to be okay, but now she’s become worldly, be cautious with her. As for the family assets that the old lady knows, let it be. Don’t disclose the other things. In the past when I wasn’t around, they would pity you, and wouldn’t scheme against you. Now that I’m back and promoted, if they find out we have assets, they won’t be balanced mentally. In the end, it will strain the relationship. In the most, we’ll just offer a little help when they’re in trouble."
