She hasn't experienced country life for six years.
She found the kang in Northeast China especially very strange.
The old man brought her to his home.
Qiao Yu wanted to pay for the accommodation, but the other party raised his hand and shook the fist-sized fruit candy, "This is enough."
Qiao Yu came to the room that the family had specially vacated and took a look around. He then heard the old man laughing in the yard and the children laughing as they scrambled for candy.
Not long after, the old man's wife came in with a bowl of steamed buns and some pickled vegetables. "My dear, are you hungry? We don't have anything to treat you. If you don't mind, just eat it."
"Thank you, ma'am."
After everyone left, she put the pickles and steamed buns into the space.
After a while, the old man and his wife collected the empty bowls and plates and left. Qiao Yu locked the door and windows of the room and made a simple touch device. As long as someone sneaked in without warning, the bowls above her would break and she would wake up.
Since the last time she encountered the enemy's lair, she was alone in an unfamiliar environment. Under the double buff, if she wanted to be calm, she would be gambling with her life on humanity.
After everything was done, she took out the cooked food from the space to eat.
She was starving because she hadn't eaten properly all day.
Roast duck walk up.
The drinks were also sweet canned fruit.
Only after eating and drinking enough can you fall asleep peacefully.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
The moment the cock crowed, she opened her eyes, put the equipment for the door and window into the space, and then began to stretch her muscles.
I met the old man after the event.
In the morning, Qiao Yu bought a piece of hard bun for a few cents, settled the matter, and then got on the ox cart to set off.
When Zhang Zhan returned to the hotel in the county town, he was extremely anxious.
Zhang Zhan looked at the old man driving the ox cart, nodded slightly to him, and then followed Qiao Yu's footsteps, "Did you see Grandpa? Why didn't he come back last night? Did something happen?"
"Yes. I chatted with Grandpa for a while, but he wasn't in a good state, so I didn't notice the time."
"...Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Are you not busy today?" Qiao Yu asked back.
"I came to the hotel this morning and asked, and I found out that you didn't come back last night. I was so worried that I asked the factory for a day off... Never mind, it can still operate without me for a day. I planned to gather some people to look for you today."
"Okay, let's go back to the room and talk."
Qiao Yu closed the door before telling Zhao about the situation. "Don't worry about Grandpa for now. He is just suffering from a mental illness that is difficult to cure. I stayed and talked to him for a few more sentences. In fact, I wanted to let him feel more concerned and hopeful through the situation of the children, you and your second brother, and look forward to a better future.
You know, people have to have hope in this world. If you lose hope, then death is not far away. "
"..." Zhang Zhan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He climbed the ranks in the Jingshi Army thanks to the protection of his ancestors, but he was not allowed to take on dangerous missions or kill enemies.
Simply put, he is not a practical man and is only good at talking on paper.
Even if you are not a pragmatist, you have heard of post-war psychological trauma.
The brave generals that my grandfather had killed on the battlefield all had reactions similar to post-war psychological trauma when they went to places like the Party School. You can imagine how perverted the psychological torture in such a place is.
Qiao Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is all we can do for now, so don't feel pressured. Save money and either marry a wife to expand the Zhang family, or pay for me to bribe the person in charge, Zhao."
"..." We were just talking, why did he start to act so careless again?
"Xiaoyu..."
Qiao Yu was very excited, "How about I arrange a few blind dates for you?"
Zhang Zhan was so angry that he glared at her: "How long have you been here? Have you lost your resources again?"
"Brother, are you doubting my ability? Fine, I'll prove to you tomorrow that I can get by anywhere!"
Zhang Zhan: “…”
Very good, Zhang Zhan’s blind date in a small county in Northeast China was arranged by his younger sister.
He stayed in the factory during the day and didn't dare to go out. Only at noon and after get off work in the afternoon, he was dragged out by Qiao Yu for blind dates.
This stingy girl arranged a blind date for him and even paid for the teahouse. He just drank a cup of tea from beginning to end. The girl came to exchange for a fresh cup of tea.
Zhang Zhan: ...
This is damn discrimination.
Who are your real relatives?
After enough commotion, Qiao Yu said to him seriously the day before he left: "If you contact the second brother, let him study his own business. You and I are here with Grandpa."
"Yes, I will."
Qiao Yu got on the return train.
Time is like the passing cities and forests, gone in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yu welcomed 1968, the most turbulent era.
She has been interning at a city hospital for two years and is about to transfer to the island's military hospital.
A lot has happened in these two years.
For example, her little goldfish is two years old and was raised by Zhou's mother; Mr. Zhou was sterilized and no one else in the family knew about it except her.
The soldier got a job as a regular worker in the canteen. Although he did not take over the job of his master, his skills became popular in Linshi, which made a splash. Many people would rather go to the hospital to queue up than go to the state-owned hotel in Linshi, which led to the superiors' opinions on Zhou Xiong and the two apprentices he trained. The superiors wanted to transfer Zhou Jun to the state-owned hotel to become a real master chef...
Master Yuan wrote a special letter to explain the danger here and how the military kids should deal with it.
Qiao Yu finished reading a thick stack of letters, sat by the window and thought for most of the night, and finally woke up. The military kid born in 1968 is now 18 years old, and he has lived up to the expectations of his family and has become an independent adult.
Zhou Wen's condition was getting better and better. A year ago, Zhang Zhou contacted her and asked about Zhou Wen's situation in addition to the matter of the old man.
Qiao Yu decided that after Zhou Wen graduated from junior high school, he would send him to Beijing to the high school where Zhang Zhou had studied. The teaching staff on the island was still a little lacking. If Zhou Wen had to follow Zhang Zhou's laboratory after graduating from high school, he would have to acquire many things from Beijing, where the knowledge was the most comprehensive.
The problem is that Zhou Wen is alone and doesn't know how to deal with it.
Zhang Zhou: "If it really doesn't work, I'll ask my mentor to help. He's also in Jingshi. I remember you sent Jun's son to Linshi after he graduated from junior high school. Why are you so surprised?"
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you comparing autistic people with normal people?"
Qiao Yu: "It's too far away, I can't reach you."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "You have to believe that the child you bring up will not be taken advantage of by outsiders. Didn't you brag to me before that your military kid is not a good person by appearance?
To be honest, Zhou Wen, you are so nervous. I can't imagine how worried you must be when the little goldfish grows up and leaves home. "
What?
The only thing she was afraid of was that the little goldfish would be deceived by the yellow-haired guy!
No, you have to teach us from a young age that men are shit! If this one doesn't work, try the next one!
Qiao Yu: "My little goldfish left home? Shouldn't I and Lao Zhou give him the best? I'm afraid that some boys are too young to work hard and will cheat our little goldfish..."
"Enough, stop imagining nonsense. Little Goldfish was really deceived. Not to mention her brothers, your uncle Zhou and both of us uncles will beat the man who deceived Little Goldfish half to death! Let's see who has the guts to do that."
roar!
Come on, it’s a blessing for the little goldfish to have such an old father, brothers and uncles around!
