Be good.

Who said that the wives of soldiers in the countryside are honest and dutiful? Even if there are a few fierce ones, they always solve problems by making a fuss? They become unreasonable when they are right?

Look, look at this one.

He has a loud voice, and every sentence he speaks is full of logic. Every word he says is so sharp that you dare not refute him. Even if he doesn't throw a tantrum or roll around, he can still talk to you.

How can Zhou Tuan's second wife look like someone who didn't even graduate from elementary school? She looks just like the educated troublemaker in the army who attended military academy!

If this were a man, the one who would have the headache would be her leader.

Zhang Cuihua swallowed her saliva and couldn't find any words to refute for a moment. Even if she did, she didn't have the confidence to say anything.

Zhang Cuihua, who had backed out, had a feeling that if she didn't make an apology now, she would be the one to be beaten if it got to her husband's superior.

Zhang Cuihua: "S-Sorry..."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "I like what you said, Auntie. Oh, there is one more thing I want to correct. Without the country people working hard in the fields, the city people would not be able to eat commercial food! Auntie, you keep calling them country people. What do you mean by that? Do you look down on them? Do you want to keep the capitalist style?!"

"I didn't! I'm a descendant of the working class, how can I have capitalist manners! Don't talk nonsense!" Although she is 60 years old now, there are subtle signs in the army. Even the director of the Women's Federation asked the military wives in their compound to be careful in their words and actions, so as not to be caught by the Revolutionary Committee and ruin their future.

“Oh, then…”

"Sorry, I won't do that next time."

Qiao Yu looked like he was doing it for her own good, and said, "The military and civilians are one family. We are from the same military compound. If you keep doing this for a long time, you will be caught sooner or later. We are family. I saw your shortcomings in advance and helped you correct them to avoid trouble. Shouldn't you thank me?"

A pin drops with a sound.

Not only did the military wives in the back seat dare not say a word, even Xiao Zhao in the driver's seat held his breath.

Good guy! Not only do you want someone to apologize, you also want them to thank you? !

Zhang Cuihua looked obviously insulted. Just as she was about to say something, her companion grabbed her arm.

She finally calmed down, bit her teeth and said, "Thank you..."

"Hey, you're welcome, Auntie. These days, we still have to encourage each other to create a new era with new ideas! Auntie, I will always keep an eye on you, pull you along, and keep up with the changes in the new era!"

Others: “…”

After saying this, Qiao Yu, without any embarrassment at all, started chatting with Xiao Zhao again.

We talked about the route, what the mall had, and whether there were any discounts...

It’s a pity that it didn’t go smoothly.

There are no discounts either.

Xiao Zhao: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my car needs to go somewhere else, but there are buses in the city that go directly to the mall, which is convenient for military families on the island to purchase things."

It sounds like this bus is specially designed for military personnel and their families.

"Okay, thank you very much, Comrade Zhao. Oh, by the way, do military dependents like me get any discounts on public transportation?"

"Just bring your marriage certificate."

"...Okay." Really not. The marriage certificate was in Zhou Ze'an's hands and he hadn't given it to her yet.

I can only pay the money honestly.

But the bus fare is not expensive, just a few cents.

The coastal cities are still under construction and are much more dilapidated than many cities in the mainland, but there are plenty of shopping malls.

The first floor is for food and drinks, and the second floor is for ready-made clothes, watches, radios, sewing machines, bicycles, cigarettes, alcohol, and other luxury items and large items. Some of these items even require foreign exchange bills.

Qiao Yu had plenty of money, so he bought whatever he saw on the first floor.

Malted milk, milk powder, matches, soybean oil, soap? Buy, buy, buy.

And red dates? This is a good thing, Qiao Yu did not stop.

During a famine, most people spent their money on food, and few people would spend money on these things that were not enough to satisfy their hunger like Qiao Yu did.

Qiao Yu was wearing a blue shirt and wide-legged pants today. The fact that there was not a single patch on his clothes was enough to prove that he came from a well-off family. The salesperson at the mall didn't say anything and just helped him pack his things.

After putting them into the backpack, Qiao Yu put the heavy ones into the space, like milk powder and maltose. She put a spoonful of it in the black box for daily replication, and put two red dates in the black box.

She bought some cigarettes and alcohol on the second floor. Although she said she didn't smoke or drink, it was still a good thing to do so.

As for bicycle sewing machines, she doesn't have a ticket for the time being.

There are tickets for watches, but nice ones require foreign exchange tickets, and ordinary ones... forget it, I'll just make do with it.

The big backpack was full, so she covered it tightly with a cloth and actually replaced the things in the backpack with lighter ones.

Then we went to the state-owned hotel.

The state-owned hotel had much more supplies than the county hotel, and she arrived just in time for dinner.

"Hello comrade, I'd like a big crab, two big meat buns, a bowl of porridge and a fried dough stick."

There is no stir-fry on today's menu? That's weird.

After he sat down with the prepared dishes and ate the big meat buns from the state-owned hotel, Qiao Yu finally understood the reason.

The flour was made of two-grain flour, and the amount of meat was very small, mostly vermicelli and cabbage, because supplies were too scarce.

The fried dough sticks were crispy and the crabs were good. The porridge was mixed with grains.

Didn't finish eating.

She put a meat bun, a fried dough stick and a giant crab into an aluminum lunch box, which was actually placed in a black box for replication.

After eating and drinking her fill, she put on a large backpack and started her journey home.

When the bus arrived at the dividing point with Xiao Zhao, I didn't see anyone there and didn't know when Xiao Zhao would be back, so I hitchhiked back to the pier.

After landing on the island, we walked back to the military compound before dark.

…

After Qiao Yu left, Zhou Jun took his two younger brothers to school. Before leaving, he said to Dawei, who he didn't know very well, "It's time for dinner. You and Xiaoyong should come to our school early and we'll go to the cafeteria together. Our school is not far from here, near the compound. If you don't know, you can ask around."

David nodded.

As soon as the three strange children left, Dawei took a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiaoyong's mouth.

"Is it sweet?"

Xiaoyong smiled and waved at his brother: "Sweet, sweet! Brother, eat it..."

Dawei smacked his lips and said, "Brother won't eat it, Xiaoyong will eat it."

Xiaoyong seemed to understand, and he pouted his lips, as if he was going to cry if you didn't eat it.

Dawei quickly said, "Okay, okay, brother will eat too, brother will eat too."

Half a piece of fruit candy per person.

All is quiet.

Dawei looked at the unfamiliar environment and said in a daze, "Xiaoyong, mom won't abandon us. It's easy for the brothers to get along with us...

I just don't know what my stepfather is like, but my mother won't let us down.

Mom is so nice. "

He even felt a little regretful for his youth and ignorance, as he had excluded his mother when she first got married.

"I shouldn't have done that before..."

Dawei took his younger brother and set off for the school Zhou Jun mentioned ahead of time.

I asked questions along the way and met strange faces.

Because it is a military compound, kidnapping and trafficking is unlikely to occur.

only……

"Are these the two children brought by Zhou Tuan's second wife?"

“It seems so…”

"Hey, you ate meat and bought so many things yesterday, but today you just abandoned your child and ran away? That woman doesn't look like she can live a normal life! What on earth did Zhou Tuan marry?"

"Keep your voice down. What does it have to do with you what others do?"

"I feel sorry for Zhou Tuan! The girl he married later is definitely not as good as the one in the art troupe!"
