After leaving the black market, Zhou Jun seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qiao Yu: "If you have to fart, just fart."

Zhou Jun: "Mom, if I deal with black market people, will it affect you and Dad? And the current Master Zhou?"

Qiao Yu laughed, "I say, military kid, when will you change your habit of daydreaming? Did you not listen to a word I just said?"

Blah blah.

Qiao Yu scolded him all the way, and when they returned to the newly bought yard, he closed the door and said, "Let's take the open way. You just need to get in touch with the boss's subordinates. His subordinates work at the charcoal supply station. Maybe they can find other ways..."

Qiao Yu glanced at his good-for-nothing eldest son.

Let him take the initiative to socialize and find a way out?

Unless the sky falls.

Qiao Yu sighed, "Forget it, while I'm still here, I'll help you explore the way."

"Mom, you've worked hard." Zhou Jun said ashamedly.

That's a thoughtful thing to say.

Qiao Yu stopped slouching and said, "That's right. I'm still young, but I've been working so hard for you and this family! I've just been toiling... well! I'll just wait for the future to bring me happiness! You guys have to develop well, because your dad and I's future depends on you!"

A life of hard work?

Don't say this too often, or it will become true.

Let's put the pressure on the children.

Although she is old and does not rely on anyone, this does not prevent her from turning this into motivation to push her children.

She is so kind.

Zhou Jun: “…Yeah.”

Mother just talks too much. She talks too much and she forgets a lot of things afterwards. She has to rely on the kids to remind her.

Do you believe your mother and let them take care of you in your old age?

They discussed this issue privately.

Zhou Jun: "Other adults may think so, to have a child and take care of them in their old age, but my parents are not that kind of people."

Zhou Wen: "To urge us on."

Zhou Wu was puzzled: "What are you urging us to do?"

Dawei rolled his eyes, "Dad is acting out of responsibility. I'm sure Mom said that because she doesn't want her to have to deal with our affairs when she's old. She wants us to be independent."

Xiaoyong nodded: "Brother is right."

…

As soon as the iron pot and charcoal arrived, the cotton, mattress and toiletries also arrived.

When Qiao Yu and Zhou Jun went to move, they asked, "Master Zhou, if you have any connections there, can you see if you can get a bicycle ticket? The house I rented for my child is far from the state-owned hotel, and it would be convenient to have a bicycle to go to get off work.

You know, this state-owned hotel is in the city center, and housing is tight. I can only rent a single room with poor conditions. Not only is it cramped, but it is also inconvenient to do anything. "

Zhou Xiong was startled when he received such a large package, and was shocked when he heard that Qiao Yu was going to buy a bicycle for his adopted son.

She was too kind to her adopted son.

Zhou Xiong: "Okay, I'll go find out for you later."

After leaving the yard, Qiao Yu did not forget to remind Zhou Jun: "Bicycle... well, the bicycle cannot be signed, so I will lend it to you temporarily! As usual, you have to buy it with your salary..."

Zhou Jun nodded obediently.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Yu couldn't say anything that would bother him.

She sighed, "Our family doesn't lack that little money. You still have to make a good living and protect yourself before considering other things. When you really start your career, why would you need this little money?"

"You should take a long-term view and stop being so stingy with yourself now and not knowing what is important. Eat and drink well, and when you become a master chef, you can save money to pay off your debts, okay?"

"Yeah, Mom, I know."

"Okay, as long as you know your limits."

Qiao Yu knew the days of an apprentice.

She only had a few dollars a month, and she had to be bossed around by her master like a grandson. Although the military kid had some money saved, including pocket money from her and New Year's money from Zhou Ze'an and Mr. Zhang, she was still worried that it was not enough.

Two years ago, when the military brat was thirteen years old, she was urged by her grandfather to return to Beijing with her five children.

The grandfather gave the children a lot of New Year's money, but Qiao Yu never asked about it and just let them keep it.

Although she has never experienced the pain of having her New Year's money "kept" by adults, Qiao Yu has read many similar complaints online, so she immediately became the most special stepmother of this era!

Don’t confiscate the New Year’s money given to children!

Knowing that the soldier's kid had his own piggy bank, Qiao Yu still stuffed two hundred yuan into it.

The soldier refused to accept it: "Mom! What are you doing?! You bought me a house and a bicycle, and now you give me money back!"

Qiao Yu glared at him: "You have to pay it back!! It's not free! Do you think I, your mother, am stupid?!"

The Zhou army responded.

Whatever the mother says goes.

Qiao Yu was choked by the look from the child and turned his head away. If the family didn't have enough things, would she be so generous? !

Everything has to be paid back!

Do you really think she is a good person?

Qiao Yu waited until Zhou Xiong replied with the bicycle ticket before leaving.

Bicycle Tickets...

Don't think about it.

That is one of the four major items, the most difficult one. How can it come to you just like that? Even the black market boss usually only sells some food. If there is a big item, he will definitely keep it for himself and will not circulate it in the market. It depends on luck to come across it.

Qiao Yu's luck all lies in this copy space and his good mother's family. Otherwise, he is just like an ordinary person.

Finally, it was Xiaoyong's telegram from the island that made Qiao Yu reluctant to leave.

Zhou Jun had been an apprentice for a few days. With the basic skills, he not only did not hold back like Wu Guoping did when he first came, but also reduced a lot of burden for Zhou Xiong.

He was being stared at by Wu Guoping all the time, and he felt very scared.

Qiao Yu was also worried that this turtle grandson would attack his own son, so he repeatedly warned him, "After I leave, don't go to the black market, don't get involved in anything, and we will help Zhou Xiong well. I really mean it, and I don't believe Zhou Xiong can't see it.

If Zhou Xiong and his wife really don't know the seriousness of the matter, we won't do this kind of apprenticeship or anything like that! We can find other ways out when we come back!

"Military boy, remember this, before you stand up, Lao Zhou and I are your biggest support! Don't keep things to yourself, you are still a child, and we as parents have to take care of the big things!"

This is from the bottom of my heart.

For small matters, children can make their own decisions; for big matters, they still have to rely on their parents.

She and Lao Zhou are now capable and can afford to say this, so why should they be stingy and keep it to themselves?

Zhou Jun nodded carefully.

After sending his mother to the train station, he took the bus to the nearest stop from his home and walked for a long time before returning to his strange and empty home.

A dreamless night.

He thought he had adapted to his new life, but just as he put on his shoes and socks and wanted to go to the chicken coop in the front yard to check out the eggs, he remembered where he was...

He looked at the unfamiliar beams with despair.

He lives alone in a strange environment and needs to adapt to an uncertain future.

In fact, I am still a little scared.

Fear of the unknown and loneliness.

But he also understood that he would have to wander alone in the future.

One can only get a moment of warmth from relatives when he is young. But after he enters the society and becomes independent, his relatives become the shield watching him move forward from behind. They will only come forward to help him make plans and decisions when things are important.

He cooked a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and after he washed up, the porridge was almost ready.

After eating, I washed the pots and bowls and went to the state-owned hotel.

His growth journey has just begun.
