She was born with space.
The space is infinite, time is still, and things will come out the same as they were when they were put in. The only difference is that there is a one-cubic black box.
The black box can only hold food-related items and can replicate the same food every 24 hours.
The copied food cannot be put into the black box. Only the food in the real world can be put into the black box for copying.
In her previous life, she used space to do overseas purchasing, and had her first starting capital before graduating from university...
Knowing that she had come through the duplicate space, she did not think about breaking up the negotiation with Zhou Ze'an. There would be turmoil in the future, and with a military husband to protect her, she would not have to be too conspicuous even if she enjoyed the good life.
After she and Zhou Ze'an confirmed their relationship, the man received a temporary mission and rushed to the army. Before leaving, he arranged her affairs and found out the cause of the fire.
It’s my uncle.
Not only were my eldest uncle's family forced to return the pension, they also gave her two hundred yuan in compensation for the damage to her home after the arson.
Despite this, my uncle was still arrested by the police.
What awaits my uncle is farm treatment.
Her sister-in-law came to the captain's house to make trouble.
It was fine for them to hide for a day or two, but after a long time, except for the team leader who was responsible for the job, everyone else in the team leader's family disliked the mother and her two children.
Qiao Yu naturally knew this, so after recovering, he brought his two children to Zhou's house.
The Zhou family was very enthusiastic about her.
Zhou's mother was a widow and gave birth to only two sons, Zhou Zeguo and Zhou Ze'an.
Zhou Zeguo married early and had a son and a daughter.
She could probably understand Zhou Dasao's enthusiasm for her, after all, Zhou Ze'an was a soldier. Having a brother-in-law in the army would be good for the family and the children's future.
But Zhou's mother is also enthusiastic about her...
She was puzzled.
She is a married woman with two children. Even if she is still a virgin, this shouldn't happen, right?
In Qiao Yu's mind, it was even more certain that Zhou Ze'an had a hidden illness.
This way, she felt more at ease leaving the two children to Zhou's mother to take care of temporarily.
She has a secret and cannot always take her two children with her. Before leaving to join the army, she has to buy some things and bring some space.
Dawei has been feeling a little uneasy these days. When he learned that his stepmother had entrusted him to a stranger, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her clothes tightly and refused to let go.
Seems worried that she'd abandon them?
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, then pulled him to a secluded corner of the courtyard and whispered, "Dawei, with the pension and compensation money returned by your aunt, I have to go to the town to see if there is any expensive food. I can't follow the army without anything, right?
You and...your father have been kind to me. I am not an ungrateful stepmother. I will not abandon you. If you are really worried..."
Qiao Yu counted out two hundred yuan from the three hundred yuan and handed it over, "Here, one hundred yuan is the pension that the production team fought for for your father, and two hundred yuan is the compensation given by your aunt. I'll keep the one hundred yuan to buy food in town, and you can keep the other two hundred yuan.
If I really never come back, this two hundred dollars will be enough for you and your brother."
"Mom, that's not what I meant..."
Seeing that the other party was so anxious but didn't know how to express himself, Qiao Yu rubbed his hair and said, "When I come back, if the Zhou family bullies you, you can tell me secretly. Before the marriage report is issued, I can take you to live alone."
Dawei was taught to be sensible by her late husband. She was naughty at times, but she could listen to the truth. She gritted her teeth and agreed.
Only then did Qiao Yu leave with about a hundred yuan in his pocket.
Marrying Zhou Ze'an is the best outcome. If his family is difficult to get along with, she can live alone with the child. After all, she has space at hand, and there is no shortage of men.
However, not now.
She greeted Zhou's mother and a cooked egg was stuffed into her waist pocket.
Zhou's mother said, "Ayu, eat slowly on the way."
"This……"
"I have been taking care of the hens at home. I can still decide how many eggs to give you. Your sister-in-law won't have any objections."
Not many families can eat eggs in a famine year.
Compared with other people in the group, the Zhou family members did look more energetic, but they were still thin.
Qiao Yu: "Okay, then I'll thank my mother first."
Hearing her calling her mother, Zhou's mother finally smiled, "Ayu, you are going to join the army, just live a good life with the youngest, you don't need to worry about us, your eldest uncle is the accountant of the team, and your eldest sister-in-law is also an elementary school teacher, you don't need to send money back every month, I can still work. If you really want to wait until you are old, we can talk about it then."
Qiao Yu also felt deeply moved, and felt pity for the love of parents all over the world.
The mother is worried sick about her youngest son who suffers from impotence.
Qiao Yu promised: "Don't worry, mom, I will take good care of the children, take good care of... Brother Ze'an, and manage this family well."
Mother Zhou's smile deepened, her old face wrinkled into wrinkles, "Yeah, yeah, I feel relieved when you say that. I know you are a good child. You were diligent before you got married, and you never thought of abandoning the two children after your ex-husband left. You and my youngest child are both responsible. Good people will be rewarded. Just hold on a little longer, and when the children grow up, it will be time for you to enjoy your life."
It went in one ear and out the other.
She didn't expect other people's children to support her in her old age. She had to rely on herself for everything.
Put the cooked eggs into the copy space and wait for them to lay eggs tomorrow.
It took several hours to walk to the town, but fortunately I ran into a large group of ox carts and gave them a few cents to get a ride.
Arriving in the town, she wrapped her face tightly with the gray headscarf borrowed from Zhou's mother, and then headed towards the black market.
The reason why the black market was not severely suppressed in small places during famine years was that it wanted to give ordinary people a way to survive.

At the same time, there is no way to control the exorbitant prices in the black market.
For example, she finally found rice in husks, but the seller asked for ten yuan per pound!
Why don't you go and grab it!
Before, black market rice was 1 yuan per pound, and that was for refined rice without husks! Now the price has increased many times!
Even though she resisted in her heart, when she saw other buyers discovering the food and gathering around to buy it, she quickly ordered a pound.
After walking around three times and finding no other food, she had to give up and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look.
Without a ticket, she could only buy matches and salt, which did not require a ticket.
She put the salt into a black box in the space and went to visit other places carrying a pound of husk rice.
In 1960, when everything required a ticket, there were really not many options for her to choose from. She might as well wait until she joined the army, reported her marriage, and then asked Zhou Ze'an for money and tickets.
On the way back, I rode on a bullock cart, so my feet didn't suffer much.
Seeing that she came back before the sun set, Zhou's mother was surprised and asked, "You came back so soon?"
Qiao Yu: "We just happened to run into the opposite bullock cart. By the way, mom, I will leave in a few days. This is the rice I bought. Please fry it and grind it into powder. Dawei, Xiaoyong and I can eat it conveniently on the train.
I will take half a pound and leave the other half for you and my sister-in-law. I feel bad for living here and eating your food these days."
Not only to the Zhou family, she also left ten yuan to the home of the leader of the production team where her late husband worked.
The ten yuan included medicine, doctor's visit, a few days' food and housing money.
Food is expensive these days.
Even if the food was hard to swallow, she didn't want to owe anyone a favor, not to mention that now that she had the copy space in her hands, she would never lack food in the future.
