"Kid, your name is Qiao Yu?"

"Um."

"Can you tell me why you are raising your ex-husband's two children? As far as I know, those two children have no blood relationship with you."

Why didn't he mention anything about returning to the Zhang family?

Old hands are usually good at using roundabout tactics. Seeing that he was old and had a good attitude, Qiao Yu also followed his words: "If it weren't for my late husband, I would have been ruined by now. Before I got married, I was a servant of the Qiao family. After I got married, I became a tool for reproduction. I was an illiterate peasant woman who worked in the fields all my life.

He gave me the opportunity to straighten my spine, and made me realize that it was wrong to blindly work like a slave and that blind filial piety was abnormal. It was he who led me out of the darkness and gave me a new life.

He passed away, but I know he was concerned about his two children. He was not only my former lover, but also my savior. I cannot repay him for saving my life. I can only grit my teeth and raise his children. No matter what the future holds, I must live up to my conscience.

This was the original owner's thought before he died.

The original owner's ideas were more straightforward, but that didn't matter. After her processing and packaging, they were enough to impress the superior.

She certainly wanted to exaggerate the original owner's past difficulties and her love and loyalty to highlight her own noble character. Even if there was some falsehood in it, she and Grandpa Zhang knew it tacitly, but the reality was as she said, she had never thought of abandoning her late husband's two children.

Doing practical things + spiritual declaration are enough to make this old-fashioned man look at you differently.

Mr. Zhang was indeed surprised.

According to the investigation, he originally thought that his granddaughter was abandoned. Although there was a sense of pity, it was more based on blood ties and reputation. If he really made such unreasonable demands on Qiao Yu like his son who was stupid because of studying, he would probably be found by the enemy.

After meeting her, he was impressed by the power of genes!

She is worthy of being his granddaughter!

Even though she was adopted as an orphan, her demeanor and speaking skills were extraordinary. If the Qiao family hadn't maliciously misunderstood her, she would definitely be less of a worry than the fake granddaughter in the family now.

Seeing the look in Qiao Yu's face that resembled his youth, Zhang Laozi relaxed and said, "Good boy, I believe you. You are right to continue raising those two children."

"Um."

"Child, you don't need to care about their attitude towards you. You can sue the Qiao couple if you want to; as for the Zhang family, you don't have to reply if you don't want to. Just one thing, the attitude of my son and daughter-in-law does not represent mine. You are my granddaughter, and I should be good to you. Whatever you want, just ask, and Grandpa will try his best to satisfy you and make up for you."

Qiao Yu: "I will not change my last name to Zhang.

Your son and daughter-in-law don't acknowledge me, so there's no need for me to try to please them."

"...Yes, Grandpa understands."

Seeing this, Qiao Yu's expression became slightly better, and he said, "If you want to compensate me, I won't ask for anything. It all depends on what you are willing to give me."

He wanted to see the character of his granddaughter, but was outmaneuvered by Mr. Zhang: ...

Instead of getting angry, Mr. Zhang burst into laughter with great energy.

After laughing, he said, "Not bad! Not bad!"

Qiao Yu smiled but said nothing.

Mr. Zhang: "Tell me why you insist on marrying the second son of the Zhou family."

Qiao Yu: "It's not easy for a lesbian to stay out of trouble in this era, not to mention that I want to raise two children, Dawei and Xiaoyong. Zhou Ze'an was forced to marry me due to rumors before he knew my background, which shows that he values ​​love and friendship. If I abandon everything and leave after knowing my background, then what am I? Another thing is that the Zhou family has been poor for eight generations. Marrying him will definitely be safe in the future."

There were signs in the early 1950s, such as fighting and landlords.

If other members of the Zhang family noticed these trends, Mr. Zhang might not be surprised. After all, they are in that circle and would hear some rumors more or less.

but.

The farthest place Qiao Yu has been to in the past decade or so is the local county seat. Where does his foresight and overall perspective come from?

Mr. Zhang now understood why his granddaughter preferred to marry Zhou Ze'an rather than return to the Zhang family.

Don't eat food given out of pity.

He has courage, blood, and brains.

Mr. Zhang: "Good boy.

Your grandmother's dowry has always been reserved for the female generation, and was originally intended for Baoer... After you and the Zhou family kid finish reporting your marriage and settle down, take some time to come to the capital."

Qiao Yu: "Excuse me, how was your wife when she was alive?"

"The daughter of a big capitalist." When Mr. Zhang smiled, he showed his big yellow teeth, looking as cute as an old naughty boy.

Qiao Yu changed the subject: "Grandma's dowry must be very valuable, right?"

"Yes, you have to come and pick it up in person."

Qiao Yu said carefully, "Okay, Grandpa. It's no problem, Grandpa."

Mr. Zhang was very touched: "In addition to your grandmother's dowry, Grandpa also has several thousand yuan on hand."

Qiao Yu was very moved.

Especially after Grandpa Zhang took out his passbook on the spot, a touching scene ensued with the grandfather and grandson feeling sorry for not meeting each other earlier and tears in their eyes.

Zhou's mother, who was observing the main room not far away, said: ???

Is she dazzled?

Weren't these two strangely unfamiliar when they first met? Why did the scene become so sensational just because she went to the kitchen?

In addition to the dowry given by Grandpa Zhang, Qiao Yu went along with it and made her own additional request: "Grandpa, when my late husband was still alive, he said that I have the conditions to go to school and my achievements are no worse than those of ordinary people. So I think if possible, you can use your connections to let me go to school while in the army. If that's not possible, getting a diploma will also be fine."

"good!"

The grandpa and grandson exchanged a few more pleasantries before Mr. Zhang left.

Zhou's mother tried to get him to stay for dinner, but Zhang's son politely declined, "The holiday is only a few days long, I have to hurry back."

After Mr. Zhang left, Qiao Yu gave all the common items to Zhou's mother, and the rest, such as malted milk, milk powder, flour and white rice, were put into the black box in the space.

After the black box is full, all you have to do every day is wait for the food to be copied out, and you won’t have to worry about food afterwards.

The next day, Qiao Yu went to the county town and withdrew all the money in his savings to make room. Together with the pension for her deceased husband and the money stolen from the original owner's mother's family, the money totaled more than 5,000 yuan.

With a lot of receipts that Mr. Zhou had collected before he left, she went shopping in the city before leaving with the basket on her back.

Now that she no longer had to worry about food and clothing, she asked Zhou's mother in detail about the situation of her other three adopted sons.

Mother Zhou said with a kind look in her eyes, "Those three children are the orphans of my youngest son's comrades.

Xiaojun is 10 years old, quiet, down-to-earth, and can help with work. The youngest son is not in the army all year round, so if you can't take care of him, you can ask him to do something.

Xiaowu and Xiaowen are twins. Although they look alike, they have very different personalities. They are both 5 years old. The elder brother Xiaowu does things without thinking, while the younger brother Xiaowen talks less than Xiaojun and doesn’t like to talk to people…”

When talking about this, Zhou's mother sighed, "If my son hadn't adopted them, there would be no future. But if I didn't adopt them, my son would feel guilty. After all, those two comrades-in-arms were my lifelong friends. If it weren't for them, my son would have died long ago... Hey, people should be loyal."

Qiao Yu comforted Zhou's mother for a while, then asked, "Mom, what do they like? I just went there, so I have to buy some gifts."

Zhou's mother: "What can I like? These days, it's good to have something fishy to eat... Or, should I go and exchange some more cloth coupons? You can make some clothes for the children? I don't know if these cloth coupons are enough."

Qiao Yu: "Grandpa gave me a lot of cloth coupons before he left. It should be enough. Mom, please tell me the sizes of the three children."

"Yeah, OK." After saying that, Zhou's mother carefully tested him again: "Ayu, are you really not going to return to the Zhang family?"
