"Of course I have to go back. The dowry that Grandpa prepared for me is not cheap. If I don't go back to the Zhang family in the capital to get it, wouldn't it be cheap for that fake guy? But I'm not in a hurry. I have to wait until I'm settled down in the rear of the army before I can find time to go back." At this point, Qiao Yu said, "Mother, if the son of the Qiao family comes to trouble you, you can give him the address of the Zhang family."

This is what she originally wanted to do.

Her parents, whom she had yet to meet, were using the words of the police to disgust her. If she didn't respond, wouldn't that be unfilial? But this cheap grandfather made her restrain herself a little.

As long as the Qiao family didn't cause trouble again, she didn't need to care. After all, it was the original owner, not her, who was related to them by blood.

"Well, okay." Zhou's mother agreed.

The verdict was made by Qiao's parents on the eve of Qiao Yu's departure.

Intentionally taking the wrong child away and abusing the child constituted the double crimes of child abduction and child abuse and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Originally, the sentence would not have been so severe, but Mr. Zhang manipulated it and expressed his approval of Qiao Yu, so he emphasized the sentence.

Qiao Yu felt that the sentence was too light and that he should be sentenced to death. However, when he thought that Qiao's parents would have to live as "reform prisoners" after being released from prison, he smiled and felt relieved.

When the verdict came down, Qiao Yu had already packed a lot of bags, including gifts for his three adopted sons. He held Xiaoyong in one hand and Dawei in the other, and boarded the train accompanying the army.

The director of the Public Security Bureau got her a sleeper berth, so there was no seat ticket to squeeze in.

After squeezing onto the train, she saw Xiaoyong's head almost falling to the ground, and she hurriedly put out her hands to support him.

The child was still smiling and looked harmless, calling her, "Mom, Mom."

Xiaoyong is very thin, with a big head and a small body. He can't walk at the age of 2 and needs to be held by her. Most people in the 1960s were like this, nothing special. Who made Xiaoyong born in a famine?

After finding a bed, Qiao Yu stuffed the big bag under the bunk, then dug out the Green Army water bottle, took two sips of warm water, and after catching his breath, he handed it to Dawei who was looking at him eagerly, then held Xiaoyong and looked out the window.

The Zhou family waved at her.

Qiao Yu lifted up Xiaoyong's thin little hand, waved toward the window and said goodbye silently.

Boom boom

The green train started.

She officially embarked on the journey of joining the army.

The departure time was two o'clock in the afternoon. They got up and had lunch before dawn like the Zhou family. After arriving at the county seat, they caught the first bus to the city. After all this trouble, they were already starving.

The Zhou family thought they would have a simple meal in the city before going back, so she took out the enamel pot and chopsticks from her bag, and took out three large pots to make hot water for the three of them to prepare lunch.

Fried rice flour + wild vegetable dumplings are the staple food and vitamin supplement. The wild vegetable dumplings also contain salt, which can be stirred with chopsticks. The mother and her two children need to drink two large cups to finish it.

After that, Qiao Yu stuffed another egg into Xiaoyong's stomach.

The child smelled it and gobbled it up so fast that he almost choked.

While holding the child's back, Qiao Yu said to Dawei, "Get some water in the enamel pot."

"Yeah, okay." After eating, Dawei ran very fast.

Everyone in the carriage eats the same way as Qiao Yu. Others fry the brown rice in advance, or grind the coarse grains with the shells and fry them, then just pour some hot water on them and eat them. It tastes bad and has little oil or fat, and the portion is not enough. It's good enough if you can eat until you are half full.

There was a nationwide famine, the food was unnutritious, everyone's face was pale, they had no energy, and the slogans they shouted were not loud enough.

Qiao Yu is a little different. Even though he is extremely thin, his skin is still fair. But his eyes look particularly big, like a sad frog.

Anyway, she had looked at herself in the mirror once and didn't want to do it a second time.

After being raised in Zhang's house for a few days, it is impossible for him to regain his flesh in just a few days, but he is in better spirits and looks much better than when he first came here.

Even if he was low-key, his spirited appearance and the larger portion of rice than the surrounding area still attracted attention, not to mention the cooked egg.

Qiao Yu clearly heard the sounds of swallowing around him.

When I looked up again, some people had sharp eyes, while others were too embarrassed to look away.

He knew his limits and did not ask her to share the food.

She had read some period novels in which many cannon fodders asked the protagonist to share food right from the start... it was really brainless.

Nowadays, let alone sharing, even buying food may not be sold by anyone. Haven’t you seen that the prices of black market food have been driven up to high levels?

It seems she needs to be more low-key.

You can't feed the children too much in the military compound, otherwise if you are not careful, the children will let something slip, and how much trouble will it bring to you and your current boss?

I can only eat alone.

Dawei quickly came back with the enamel pot. Qiao Yu blew on it with hot water and slowly fed Xiaoyong to drink.

It’s more like slurping than drinking.

The slurping noises were loud, but people around them did not find it strange. They had to eat quickly, otherwise their food would be snatched away. The faster they ate, the louder the noises.

It's normal to make some loud noises when slurping hot water.

Nothing happened on the green train, except that after sitting on it for several days and nights, my face looked a little pale.

Qiao Yu also had to take care of the packages and two children.

After getting off the train you have to take the shuttle bus.

Just as she was about to ask for directions, she saw a young man in an army green shirt holding a sign with her name, Qiao Yu, on it.

The young man hesitated: "Qiao Yu?"

"Yes." Qiao Yu pointed at the two children, "My sons, Dawei and Xiaoyong. Dawei and Xiaoyong, call me brother."

Dawei: "Hello, brother."

Xiaoyong just glanced at the young man and continued to bury his head in Qiao Yu's chest.

The young man shook his head and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I was sent by the leader to pick you up! The car is outside, let's go!"

Qiao Yu knew that the army needed a rank above battalion level. How old was Zhou Ze'an? How did he become a regiment commander so quickly? Considering his family situation... Was it his own ability?

Well, that's quite capable.

Unexpectedly, my nominal husband is a potential stock.

She wanted to keep a low profile on the train. The salary for a regimental officer was about 150 yuan, which was more than enough to feed five children, but it was difficult to get the receipt. As a military wife, she couldn't go to the black market anymore...

Oh, this is still an excuse for being a cheap grandpa.

Stable.

After getting in the car, Qiao Yu calmed down.

This was not the first time that the soldier came to the station to pick up a military wife. He was on a shopping trip on the island and came to pick her up. In the past, even the most educated wives would be secretly surprised when they saw the car he drove, but this military wife...

No expression.

and.

The young soldier glanced at the rearview mirror secretly and thought that Captain Zhou’s second wife was not as bad as the rumors said.

She is tall and pretty, and looks young.

Quiet and peaceful, seeming to get along well?

We drove for several hours, and after stopping, we took a boat to the island, where we drove for a long time again.

Qiao Yu tried to hold it in, but Dawei couldn't and vomited.

After vomiting, his face looked better and his expression recovered a little. When he saw that what he vomited was food, he felt distressed.

Seeing his posture, Qiao Yu wanted to eat the vomit back into his stomach...

She quickly grabbed it with one hand, "No matter how poor our family is, we cannot eat what we vomited. Stop it."

The little soldier felt uncomfortable too, so he rolled down the window to get some fresh air.

Seeing that Dawei had no such idea, Qiao Yu said to the little warrior, "I'll let this kid clean the inside of your car later."

The little warrior quickly shook his head: "No, no, sister-in-law, I can do it myself! You and the two children have just arrived, and we still have to tidy up the house, so I won't bother you."

Qiao Yu thought about it and agreed, so he didn't insist.

But compensation must be given.

She reached into her bag, literally reaching into space, and pulled out a raw egg: "Then consider this as a gift. Please wash the car."

The little warrior was driving, and Oshigen Teng couldn't do anything to refuse.

Qiao Yu stuffed the raw egg into the small pocket on his chest and said, "Take it. You can cook it when you get home."

She had hard-boiled eggs in her room, but if they were left out for too long, the yolk would turn green. She put these eggs in her room right after they were cooked, to keep them looking like they were just cooked. It was fine to fool the kids, but she had to be more careful in the army.

Apart from avoiding exposure in space, there is no need to be cautious or feel uncomfortable at other times.
