The oxcart arrived at the gate of the Party School. Qiao Yu jumped off the cart and handed the introduction letter to the gate guard.

The old man driving the ox cart watched Qiao Yu go in, then he muttered in disbelief, "He really went in."

After expressing my feelings, I took out the hard dumpling from my pocket and started eating it with some cool white wine from the glass bottle.

Qiao Yu was so nervous that he gave the guard a pack of cigarettes first, "Can I go to the cafeteria first to feel the atmosphere here before visiting people?"

Cigarettes are something that cannot be copied. These are what I hoarded because I had cigarette and alcohol coupons. I rarely give them out as gifts.

The cigarettes are good, sold in front of the gate, 3.50 a pack.

The guard weighed it, nodded, and took Qiao Yu to the cafeteria.

When Qiao Yu saw the zombie-like figures, the bland porridge, a bowl of only a dozen grains of soaked coarse rice, steamed buns made of three-grain flour, and not even a pickled vegetable to go with the rice, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sad.

The steamed buns made with three-grain flour are very chewy. According to her experience, most of the grains are not shelled and are roughly ground into powder.

Not only was there not enough coarse rice in the porridge, it also smelled like hot pot water.

I don’t know how the old man ate it.

Seeing an old man sitting down beside him, Qiao Yu gave all his share to him.

The old man looked up at her, thanked her, and quickly started eating.

I was afraid that if I was a little slower, the thing in front of me would be gone.

The doorman saw what Qiao Yu did but didn't say much. After all, he had paid for the meal.

Qiao Yu stood up and said with a smile, "Can you take me to see the person in charge here?"

Of course, the person Qiao Yu wanted to see was not the general manager, but the person in charge of the old man's son.

The party school is divided into various factions, and the power dynamics are complex. Because they come from high positions on all sides, the people in charge dare not do much in private, and their thinking is strict.

Qiao Yu wanted to avoid being targeted by his superiors and also wanted his father to live a more comfortable life, so he could only do it through the junior person in charge.

Although Mr. Zhao is not good-looking, he has a straight gaze and will not make Qiao Yu feel that he has evil thoughts. He is a person who can be won over.

"What do you want from me?"

"I asked the guard at the gate and found out something interesting. The number of parcels sent to the party school is decreasing, and no one can get special privileges to enter and leave here. It seems that I am the first person now? I wonder if there will be other examples like me in the future...

But Mr. Zhao must be having a hard time, right? I just happened to have an unwelcome request, and both parties can get what they want, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

The man was considering Qiao Yu's words.

Indeed, the number of parcels sent to the Party School is decreasing. Even if the senders know that only a few will be left when they reach the hands of their relatives, they cannot be sure whether the people inside will be released in the end.

Currently, the only person who is qualified to enter and leave the Party School is Qiao Yu.

Therefore, the only profit can be taken from Qiao Yu.

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's nothing. It's just what it is. But if there is a search in the future, I hope Mr. Zhao can give my grandfather a heads up in advance. It's easy for Mr. Zhao to do it."

Manager Zhao glanced at Qiao Yu's bulging messenger bag and guessed that it didn't contain much, so he asked, "What can I get?"

"Let's be frank. I'll come here once a year and pay you in advance for protecting my grandfather." She showed her sincerity and paid the fee in advance after all.

"How many?"

Qiao Yu raised a few fingers, "This number."

"Okay, deal!"

Two hundred and fifty yuan, an average of more than twenty yuan a month, almost catching up with a worker's normal salary!

Just a reminder, absolutely fine!

Qiao Yu carried cotton on his back and came to the dormitory where the old man lived alone. He made the bed, closed the door, and then pulled the sluggish old man to sit down.

"Grandpa?" She waved her hand in front of the old man.

"You...why are you here? How did you get in?"

Qiao Yu took out a newspaper from his bag and handed it over.

While the old man was flipping through the pages, Qiao Yu explained, "This time, Lao Zhou and I put an ad in the newspaper, which had a big impact. We accidentally applied for the qualification to visit you every year. Don't worry, I have already informed Zhao, the person in charge who is taking care of you, and he will take better care of you.

Oh, by the way, Grandpa, my eldest brother has also been transferred to a factory in a nearby county. But he is not qualified to enter the Party School..."

The old man read the report through his reading glasses, feeling overwhelmed with emotion and tears streaming down his face. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his granddaughter, he turned his back and wiped his tears before turning back.

He wanted to say something, but his voice was choked, his nose was sore, he couldn't utter a word, and his shoulders were shaking.

Qiao Yu felt unhappy when he saw the old man like this.

When they separated, only half of the old man's head was white, but now it is completely white.

It is conceivable that the mental torture is no less severe than the physical torture.

"Grandpa, take care of yourself. When we get out, I'll bring the little goldfish to see you."

"Oh yes, little goldfish, Zhang Siyun... that child looks like you, pretty, and is our Zhang family's child."

Seeing him talking, Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, so he changed the subject and said something happier, "Yes, Little Goldfish's surname is Zhang, and he is a child of our Zhang family. Grandpa, don't worry, when you come out, there will be more children of the Zhang family!"

"What, you still want to have a baby?" The old man was speechless.

Didn't the letter say that childbirth was too painful and she didn't want to have the baby? This granddaughter changed her mind so quickly.

"Why are you having children? I'm not going to have any more! I'm urging my eldest brother to find a partner as soon as possible so that the Zhang family can have more children!! If he has 17 or 18 children... well, that will make it hard for my eldest sister-in-law. It's okay! Encourage my second brother to share the burden, so that the Zhang family will be more lively!!"

The old man chuckled and said, "You have arranged everything for your elder and second brothers very clearly."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Seeing that his old man was amused, Qiao Yu started talking about his five little brats.

After talking for a long time, the old man came to his senses and there were fewer people eavesdropping outside the door, so she started to do her business.

Three large cans of compressed cookies were taken out of the messenger bag.

She lowered her voice and said, "Grandpa should have seen this thing before."

The old man just glanced and nodded.

I've seen it before, but it's quite remarkable that my granddaughter can get so many.

"Grandpa, please save some of the food and I will come to see you next year... Even if this thing is discovered, it will not be put away, after all, it has been opened.

If you are really hungry every day, just crush it and soak it in water. Just don’t get a stomachache from being so hungry. Hide the food well.”

The old man nodded, carried the things under the bed, lifted a brick, and hid the two large cans inside.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu's expression relaxed for a moment, "This dormitory won't be easy to change, right?"

"I won't change it. It's fixed once I move in."

"That's good." Qiao Yu said again, "Grandpa, stretch out your hand and I'll take your pulse."

"good."

Qiao Yu felt his pulse and determined that it was a mental illness. She teased him for a long time until it was almost dusk, when she was kicked out of the party school.

Before getting on the ox cart, she looked around at the deserted and heavily guarded place, and finally retracted her gaze.

"Old man, let's go."

"Okay. My lady, it's too late to go home today. How about staying at the nearest production team for a night?"

Qiao Yu did not hesitate and said, "Okay."

Regardless of whether the old man had good intentions or bad intentions, as long as she remained vigilant and didn't eat anything foreign, she would be fine.

What's more, this forest is quite dangerous. It is easy to encounter ferocious wild animals such as wolves and black bears when walking at night.
