It's another weekend.

After landing on the island, Qiao Yu went straight home.

She saw some boxes under the table where the radio was and bent over to open them.

It’s the tape sent by Zhang Zhou!

She listened to it out of curiosity...

Hmm

It's like listening to a divine book.

Not interested.

Took out the tape and put it back in the box.

Lao Zhou went out on a mission again, and no one knew how long he would be gone this time, so Qiao Yu rolled up his sleeves to cook.

When the kids come back, a big pot of stew will be ready!

"Mom! You're back!"

Qiao Yu was quite surprised to hear Zhou Wu's voice: "Why did you come back first today?"

Zhou Wu ran to the kitchen first, "Something was sent from the post office. It's from Beijing. Big brother took Xiaoyong to pick it up."

"Oh..." I guessed it was sent by Zhang Zhou.

Qiao Yu's temper had long since subsided. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Does your elder brother have anything to do this afternoon?"

Zhou Wu shook his head.

"Okay, I'll make some more crab oil this afternoon and send it over. And there's also kelp and shrimp. You must have gotten a lot of them, right? Send them to your great-grandmother, eldest uncle, and second uncle as well."

"Okay! I'll help you guys!"

Zhou Jun almost failed to carry back the huge package.

I don’t know what was sent.

As soon as the things arrived and after dinner, Qiao Yu began to unpack them.

Um……

They were all clothes for Qiao Yu, coats, hats, scarves, gloves for winter, skirts, shirts, hairpins for summer...

Quite a few.

Zhang Zhou also wrote in the letter that he was about to go on a mission and might not be heard from for several years. If there was anything, he could just contact his grandfather.

He would look around before leaving to see if there were any nice shoes to send to her...

Qiao Yu was very moved.

He gave so much.

We have money, clothes and accessories, even socks!

I originally planned to make half of the crab oil and send it over, but Qiao Yu decided to fry all the crab oil I ordered from the market this time! And I also packed it in a sealed glass jar!

There are five large bottles in total.

Don’t underestimate these five bottles; they cost a lot of oil and crab roe.

Can eat for a long time.

The children were drooling with greed, but Joe didn't let them have a bite.

But she herself didn't get involved.

"Your great-grandmother, first uncle and second uncle have sent a lot of money. You have to give them some sweet things to maintain the relationship. Otherwise, the relationship will fade away long ago due to the distance between us. Military boy, learn more from your master when you exchange letters with him."

Zhou Jun nodded, "Okay, I understand, Mom."

Qiao Yu wrote a few more pages of the letter in a very eloquent manner, greeting Mr. Zhang, his elder and second brothers, and informing them of his own recent situation, even mentioning trivial matters.

So a chatterbox is a chatterbox, and even when he uses a pen to speak, he keeps talking nonsense without stopping.

To show her sincerity, she called Mr. Zhang from the post office when she mailed the items.

Mr. Zhang laughed after saying a few words and seemed to be in a good mood.

Qiao Yu thought deeply, those few sentences he said were very common, where was the humor?

"Grandpa, are you in a good mood today?"

"Hey, you little girl figured it out."

"What good thing happened?"

"Oh, I sent some of your photos to your elder brother, and all his comrades-in-arms came to see them."

"...Go and see my photos?" What's good about them?

Don’t they all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth?

Is it to see the scenery?

"Yes, your elder brother wanted to find a backup plan for you, but those short-sighted people in the army backed off when they heard about it. Now they are finding all kinds of ways to ask your elder brother about you.

Roar! Your brother is very popular in the army now.

Oh, by the way, if you can’t get along with that kid Zhou Ze’an, there are so many people queuing here, we won’t suffer that injustice!”

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

Old Zhou is not good enough. If another competitor emerges on her side, let’s see if Old Zhou will be nervous!

Without me, who would be willing to cover for him?

Hehe, her life will definitely be better in the future!

Zhou Ze'an, who was far away at the border: Ah!

Who is talking about him?

…

Qiao Yu chatted with Mr. Zhang while watching the changing seasons outside the window.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are fleeting.

Year after year, day after day, soon she also welcomed the summer of 1965.

The scorching sun shone on the horizon, which was a bit dazzling, but it did not hinder Qiao Yu's high spirits.

During the three years of study, except for the weekends when I went to the island, I spent the rest of the time in school, state-owned hotels and rented houses.

The days passed peacefully and repetitively.

How quiet is it? I occasionally attend wedding banquets, but I don’t find the hustle and bustle to be very interesting.

The little Zhao who took me to the island got married.

When Qiao Yu went to see, he found that these young men were smiling from ear to ear on their wedding day, and the lesbians were also happy, but still reserved.

What awaits them after marriage are trivial matters...

Marriage.

It's the best life like her. The husband is not at home, but the money is there. There's no need to take care of the children. The older ones take care of the younger ones, and the younger ones don't have to meddle in other people's business.

It's just that the days have been repetitive for too long and it's boring.

Even the few people who loved to dance in front of him the most became more obedient after realizing how powerful he was.

Not even a funny one.

In 1965, the military children graduated from junior high school.

For three years, Junwazi had been exchanging letters with Old Man Zhou, and he would also send things to Old Man Zhou from time to time, and the apprenticeship quota had always been reserved for him.

Qiao Yu had always believed that for three years, Father Zhou had not found anyone else because, firstly, he did it for Mrs. Zhou's sake, and secondly, he really hadn't met anyone with exceptional talent or who was suitable, so he kept the spot for the military kid.

Unexpectedly, one day, she had an idea and helped the children clean the room during the summer vacation. She found that when the military boy and Zhou's father were exchanging letters, they mentioned the improvement of dishes. The two of them were exchanging suggestions and attempts.

Qiao Yu then understood that the reason why Father Zhou reserved the apprenticeship quota was because the other party saw the talent of the military boy.

This time, during the summer vacation, Qiao Yu took the military kid to the island to settle down and let him officially embark on the road of studying.

The fifteen-year-old military brat had enough nutrition and his body grew stronger all of a sudden, especially during the vacation after graduating from junior high school, which gave Qiao Yu the illusion that he was growing one centimeter taller every day.

He suddenly grew to 1.75 meters tall!

Taller than Joe!

His skin is tanned, and if it weren't for the childish look on his face, people would believe that the soldier boy is Brother Qiao Yu.

Knowing that Zhou Jun would leave after graduating from junior high school, all household affairs fell on the twins and Dawei respectively a year ago.

Old Zhou was still not at home, and those who came to see him off were his four children, Mrs. Zhou, the director of the Women's Federation, and Wang Zhaodi.

Xiaoyong is unhappy.

After Qiao Yu exchanged greetings with the adults, he saw the boy's expression and pinched his cheek, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Didn't I tell you that I have a long vacation, and after I settle your brother down, I can come back and spend some time with you. Smile, don't look so sad."

Xiaoyong: "My mother doesn't like to go home, she travels all over the world..."

Qiao Yu slapped him on the head, "Hey! You're singing! Do you think I'll give you the face?"

"Mom!" Xiaoyong's defense was broken instantly, "Can't you be gentler? Don't I have any dignity outside?"

"You little brat, you still want to save face in front of me? When you poop or pee, your elder brother and I have always taken care of you..."

"Alright, alright! Go ahead!"

Qiao Yu snapped his fingers and said, "Okay."

Having said that, he looked at the three tall boys.

They are all so tall, I don’t know what they eat, they are taller than her as their mother.

And ask her to give them some face?

They are so tall, have they ever given her any face?

She only relies on her loud voice and decisiveness to overpower these brats!

"You guys take good care of your brother and the house. Mom will be back soon."

"Yes! Okay!" the three said in unison.

After the greetings, Qiao Yu and Zhou Jun went to the island with their bags.

Because I was accompanying someone, there was no space to store most of my luggage, so I had to spend more money to send it to Linshi.

The address filled in is Mr. Zhou’s residence.
