At daybreak the next day, Qiao Yu came to touch the chicken's butt.
In order not to disappoint the children and maintain her lucky image, she took out five raw eggs!
Hehe, she is worthy of it.
Zhou Jun also got up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw Qiao Yu holding five freshly baked eggs...
Self-doubt arises.
Is his luck really that bad?
Qiao Yu: "Hey, Army boy, are you up? I'll cook this morning? That's perfect. How long has it been since you guys had my cooking?"
Zhou Jun suddenly came to his senses from his self-doubt and said, "Mom, let me do it."
Qiao Yu looked at the other person and said, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, military kid. It's just breakfast. It won't be too bad."
Half an hour later.
Looking at the coarse grain porridge, coarse grain steamed buns and the only flavorful dish on the table, it was the pickled vegetables that Zhou Jun had made.
It really doesn't require any technical content.
Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction. It was not pig food and was edible.
Qiao Yu gave the order: "Let's eat!!"
The adults and children picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat slowly.
Zhang Zhou didn't realize what was wrong at first, until he drank ten mouthfuls of porridge and found stones in three of them...
I finally understood why this family ate more solemnly and carefully today than yesterday.
Qiao Yu also spat out a stone, met Zhang Zhou's gaze, and said, "Hey, the water is really deep these days, and we have to mix some stones into the food we eat. There are so many stones, how many kilograms do they weigh together? It's too bad..."
Complaints are complaints, but Qiao Yu also knows that the machines these days are not accurate enough to filter out the stones. Grain is mostly threshed manually, and there will be some omissions. Every household eats like this, and there are small surprises from time to time.
I said this to cover up the fact that I am not as good as Zhou Jun in cooking.
After all, Zhou Jun is a meticulous cook. He will screen the main grains before cooking to avoid eating stones that affect the taste.
After dinner, the children went to school. Zhou Ze'an took Zhang Zhou to say hello to the troops, while Qiao Yu went to visit Zhou's wife's house.
Not only does Zhou Saozi's father work in a state-owned hotel, his ancestor was also a chef in the imperial kitchen. If Zhou Jun were to be transferred over, he would definitely learn a lot of skills.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Zhou's father has no son and is in need of an heir.
Old Man Zhou had several daughters. Some of them married and moved elsewhere, and some of them who were still in the local area did not have natural talent. After decades of hard work, they only learned the basics of Old Man Zhou.
Qiao Yu brought the canned food and dried meat that Zhou Ze'an brought back and went to the door of Zhou Saozi's house.
Dudududu.
"Who is it?"
"Mrs. Zhou! It's me."
Mrs. Zhou immediately opened the door and asked, "Sister Qiao?"
Qiao Yu chuckled, "My second brother is staying here this time, so I asked my counselor for a few days off. It's a good opportunity to ask about your father from your mother's side."
Seeing the valuables in her hand, Mrs. Zhou invited her into the house and said, "Come in and talk."
As soon as Qiao Yu sat down, Mrs. Zhou made her a cup of brown sugar water.
Qiao Yu: "Sister-in-law, I just need to drink boiled water."
"I've made it for you, just drink it."
Okay.
Qiao Yu took a sip, put the food on the table, and explained his purpose directly, "Sister-in-law, let's be frank. The military kid's parents passed away early, and Lao Zhou was almost starving to death when he went to look for him...
Although I am not their biological mother, I respect the children of martyrs and treat them as my own family. I dared to tell you this only after careful consideration.
You have tried his craftsmanship. He is a promising talent and is interested in this line of work..."
After knowing that there was a descendant of the imperial kitchen in Zhou Saozi's family, Qiao Yu suddenly had an idea. Every time he ate something with Zhou Saozi, he asked Zhou Jun to make it himself. Otherwise, there would be no impression and it would be too obvious for him to do so.
Without a buffer, everyone starts to doubt the deeper meaning behind the relationship, which causes deep pain.
Mrs. Zhou waited quietly for Qiao Yu to finish speaking, and then said, "I have been waiting for you to bring it up, Qiao Mei."
Qiao Yu's eyes lit up.
This Zhou's sister-in-law! Can handle it!
Seeing the expression on her face, Mrs. Zhou liked this girl even more.
Everyone in the military compound says that Qiao Yu is difficult to get along with, but they should at least be open to each other, right?
Once she opens her heart to someone, Qiao Mei will not hide her emotions. According to her lover, this kind of person is so straightforward that she would turn her back to the opponent even on the battlefield!
Mrs. Zhou took out the reply letter from her father from the tin box and handed it to Qiao Yu.
"Let's take a look."
Qiao Yu unfolded it and looked.
The first part is all about the current situation at home so as not to let Mrs. Zhou worry, and the second part is the main topic that Qiao Yu wants to know.
Father Zhou said: That child is really talented. Send him to me after he finishes junior high school. I happen to have two apprenticeships. But I have a condition. I will teach him everything I know, so I naturally hope to have a reliable child...
The implication is that he wants the child to take care of Old Man Zhou after he finishes his studies and stay by his side to fulfill his filial duty.
Qiao Yu thought it was no big deal. After all, Linshi was not far from here. If he missed it, it would be convenient to take a bus back and forth.
Old Man Zhou only said that he wanted someone to take care of him in his old age, but he didn't mention that the children were not allowed to miss their relatives, right?
It just disrupted her original plan.
Originally, I wanted the soldier to return to the city after graduation, and then let Old Zhou work hard to find him some connections.
However, when children grow up, they will pursue their own dreams. She cannot restrict their development just because she has raised them for a few years.
The decision to go or not is not in her hands.
Qiao Yu: "I'll ask the military kid later."
Mrs. Zhou looked at her face and asked, "Sister Qiao, are you not angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"My father let the military son take care of him in his old age..."
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
Qiao Yu waved his hands, "I'm not his biological mother. Besides, if you want to learn from a master, you have to be a father for life, right? Your father's request is not excessive, but this matter still needs to be decided by the military kid himself."
"His decision? He's still so young, it's hard for him to make a decision, right?"
"Children of poor families have to take care of themselves early, not to mention that he has experienced the death of his parents and almost starved to death during the famine...Mrs. Zhou, don't underestimate children. They know a lot of things they should know. Children are much more sensitive than us adults."
Mrs. Zhou sighed, "You are such a good stepmother..."
"How is it?"
Seeing that she was not angry and was curious about her evaluation, Zhou's wife smiled and said, "She doesn't look like a stepmother, but more like a sister."
Qiao Yu smiled and touched his face, "Yes, I'm still young."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Qiao Yu said he wanted to go back.
Mrs. Zhou wanted her to take the things away, but she said, "I can't help you much, just take the things back..."
"All of this is because of you, Sister Zhou. Without you, how could the soldier boy have this opportunity? You, don't be too modest! If the soldier boy really wants to become his disciple, he must call you Senior Sister, right?"
Mrs. Zhou also learned some tricks from Mr. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou spat, "Then the relationship will be messed up, right?"
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed again.
Mrs. Zhou did not refuse anymore. After sending Qiao Yu away, she thought about it again and again and wrote another letter to her father.
When Qiao Yu came back, Zhou Ze'an and Zhang Zhou also came back.
Zhou Ze'an poured her a glass of water, "How is it?"
"When the soldier boy comes back, we'll talk to him alone."
