Chapter 106: On Qiao Yu's Social Ability



How eloquent is Qiao Yu?

There is no awkwardness when she is around, unless she doesn't want to talk.

While eating and munching, she could also observe the subtle changes on the faces of the people present.

The incompetent eldest son of the family was not under observation.

This Wu Guoping had a bad attitude towards them mother and son along the way, but with Zhou Xiong around, Wu Guoping returned to normal.

Especially when Zhou Xiong asked the two brothers to toast each other with tea instead of wine, Wu Guoping was able to remain calm.

When Zhou Xiong asked Wu Guoping to respect her as an elder, she still stood firm...

Interesting.

A tough opponent.

Although Mrs. Zhou told her that Wu Guoping was mediocre and not worthy of Zhou Xiong's attention, and asked her to relax and not worry, how could Qiao Yu feel relieved when she saw him in person?

The other person is an adult, while Zhou Jun has just graduated from junior high school.

Then there are Zhou Xiong and his wife...

There is no clue yet.

Zhou Xiong: "Sister Qiao, why don't you just stay at our house? Let the military kids live here in the future. If we rent a house outside, it will cost a lot of money in a month."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yu glanced at Wu Guoping and saw that his expression changed slightly, but then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "We are staying in a hotel now. We just happened to be free recently, so we found a place for the military kid to stay. Originally, the military kid was entrusted to you and Mrs. Zhou just to trouble you. If you let him live in your house... Well, if it gets out, I don't know what will be said about us Zhou family members, so let's just forget it."

What else can I say?

Not only did he send Zhou Jun, a half-grown child, to inherit the family's craft, but he also wanted to eat the family's food.

If the person who "eats up the whole family" is Qiao Yu herself, she doesn't care what people around her say. If they dare to say it, she will dare to do it!

But Zhou Jun was different.

No, looking around the entire Zhou family and Zhang family, there is no one else who is more shameless than her.

So some things should be avoided if they can be avoided.

Zhou Xiong tried to persuade him politely, but seeing that Qiao Yu had made up his mind, he said no more.

After dinner, Qiao Yu asked Zhou Jun to stay and clean up the dishes, while he chatted with Mrs. Zhou for a while before slowly leaving.

After leaving the hospital, Wu Guoping parted ways with the mother and son without even saying goodbye.

Qiao Yu looked at the other person's back, sighed, and said to Zhou Jun: "Look, here we are, without even a hint of disguise. Jun boy, you should be careful of this guy when the time comes, don't let him trick you."

She was not worried that Zhou Jun would not be able to defeat the opponent. After all, Zhou Jun and the twins had experienced the dangers of the world in advance. If they could not even deal with this, then all the dangers they had experienced before would have been in vain.

"Yeah, Mom, I'll be careful with him."

In the hospital.

Mrs. Zhou and her husband sighed, "It's been a long time since our home has been so lively."

"yes."

Before Zhou Jun came, Wu Guoping would go out from time to time, but he would only do so after placing a gift...

Neither side knew what to say.

After dinner, Wu Guoping found an excuse to leave.

Sometimes, the couple would even take the initiative to ask the other party to leave if they had something to do and not to worry about them.

Neither party had ever thought of letting Wu Guoping, their apprentice, wash pots and dishes.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the neat courtyard and kitchen, her brows relaxed, "When the eldest lady mentioned that this military boy was sensible and hardworking, I didn't think..."

"Yeah. But Guoping won't be happy."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Xiong for a moment and said nothing more.

In addition to introducing Zhou Xiong through relatives, Wu Guoping also saved Zhou Xiong's life. As he was both a disciple and a benefactor, it is understandable that he would pay more attention to him.

But when Mrs. Zhou thought about Wu Guoping's temper and the undercurrents that had just occurred at the dinner table, she estimated that there would be trouble at home in the future.

Mrs. Zhou gave him some advice: "You should have repaid Guoping's kindness for taking care of him for the past two years. Now that the military boy has come, you should treat him equally as a teacher."

Zhou Xiong remained silent.

After resting in the hotel for a night, Qiao Yu took Zhou Jun to walk around and look for a room. It would be best if it was close to the state-owned hotel, but if there was none, a room far away would also be fine.

She was planning to buy a house for Zhou Jun to live in.

As for the name, of course you should write your own.

After all, she was the one who paid for it, so she would not mistreat the military kid in terms of food, clothing, and shelter, but she had to be in control of such an important matter as the house.

She may not even be generous enough to give a house to her own son.

However...

Qiao Yu: "Although the house is in my name, I can sell it to you at the original price. You can save money after you get a job and send it to me when you have enough."

Zhou Jun nodded, "Okay."

It’s really hard to find a house.

Qiao Yu asked around in the street office and the housing management office, and finally found a small courtyard far away from the state-owned hotel.

The yard is not big, with only two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a toilet that is shared by the street. It is spacious enough for one person to live in.

The staff member who showed her and her son the house said, "This house is the property of a big landlord. He is moving his family to Hong Kong City, so he is in a hurry to sell it. The price is not high..."

Now the wind has already blown, and those who are smarter and have connections have already liquidated their assets and fled.

Qiao Yu thought, there are already wealthy people cleaning out their houses in Linshi, so there should be some in her city as well?

It just so happened that when she paid the rent every year, she was too lazy to look at the old landlord's cold face...

It's what she's used to, haha.

"Girl, do you and your brother want to?"

"..." Qiao Yu was too lazy to explain any further. Along the way, she didn't know how many people had mistakenly believed that she and Zhou Jun were siblings.

Even if people mistakenly think they are siblings, it is never wrong to think they are the wrong person.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Yes, yes! Houses are so hard to come by now! My military son is waiting for a house so he can save money!"

Having said this, Qiao Yu went with the other party to the Housing Management Office to complete the formalities.

Zhou Jun: ...

The speed is unimaginable.

Zhou Jun really admired his mother's ability to handle things quickly and efficiently.

After completing the formalities, I also refunded the money to the hotel.

That day, Qiao Yu and Zhou Jun began to tidy up the yard, put things in order, and then do some additional work.

Mainly some kitchen utensils, Zhou Jun’s personal toiletries are on the way.

It's just that the big iron pot is difficult to handle, and the fire in the city is burned with charcoal, not firewood.

She has both industrial tickets and coal tickets, which are universal, but she has no channels to use them.

Who is Qiao Yu?

Even if you have just arrived in the city and have no connections, you can still create some!

So Zhou Jun watched her chat with her neighbors on the first day after she moved in, and on the second day she bought some pots, bowls, pans, and utensils (the pots were ceramic) at a great discount, although some of them were defective.

On the third day, he found the black market and approached the black market leader to discuss the sale of iron pots and charcoal.

Zhou Jun: ...

No wonder the family has everything they need and my mother brings home fresh meat every week.

Others may not have any connections, but my mother can create one even if she has nothing on hand!

His mind was still fuzzy when he heard his mother's final, high-pitched voice, which forced him to regain his consciousness.

"Oh! I knew you were a good person! I'll let my son hang out with your subordinates more often! If we hang out more, we'll have one more friend!"

Move around? Move around with black market people?

Zhou Jun: ...I really want to refuse.
