All of the photos are similar, all taken in the same place. Even the distance between the men and women sitting next to each other in the photos remains the same, with only slight changes in their facial expressions.
Both men and women were wearing military uniforms. Perhaps because the weather was too cold, their faces were pale, and their noses and ear tips were a little red from the cold. They looked particularly cute and warm.
You can see the unfamiliarity between the man and woman, guess that they are a newlywed couple, and you can also feel the ambiguous emotions between them. They must have been happy when they took the photo...
They got married because they loved each other.
The old man's hands trembled a little, and he covered the photo with his nose sour, but his mouth was full of anger, "This brat."
The old man cursed and said, "When I was here, he was very quiet and never mentioned lesbians. After I left, he got married. I should have been the matchmaker... This lesbian is the one he has been dating for a few years, right?"
Qiao Yu was surprised, "Grandpa, do you know my second sister-in-law?"
"Yeah." The old man picked up the photo with satisfaction and looked at it again and again. "Your grandmother and I are in love... I have seen too many old guys who abandoned their wives and remarried in the name of free love in the new era, and even left their wives in the countryside to take care of their parents.
They are despicable, but arranged marriages are certainly not advisable.
So I hope Zhang Zhan and Zhang Zhou like each other before marrying each other."
Qiao Yu raised his thumb and said, "Grandpa is very far-sighted. No wonder my elder and second brothers have been dragging their feet until this age."
The old man smiled grimly, "I've given them the chance. If they dare to do something as shameless as abandoning their wives and children, I'll beat them to death!"
"..." Judging from the tone of grandpa's voice, he seems to have a lot of resentment.
All in all, the old man was indeed much happier because of his second brother's marriage.
After hearing about Jian Xinyu's condition, the old man started to worry again: "The child they had..."
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "My second brother said that he would have more than one child. The eldest nephew will be left to my second brother's father-in-law and mother-in-law, but they are too old to take care of the second child. If there are more children, send them to me.
It just so happens that the second, third and fourth children are the same age. In a few years, they will be eighteen and can start their own families. The child sent by the second brother is just right to help with housework. Hey, the second brother also sent money to him, so it’s a win-win situation! ”
The old man's eyes twitched, "You raise a child just to help with the housework?"
Qiao Yu crossed his legs and said, "Of course. To be honest, my suspension with pay may seem like the end of the world to others, but to me... it's a great joy.
It’s like raising children. They are at working age, so the family doesn’t care about having an extra pair of chopsticks.”
The old man hesitated for a long time, thinking that after all, adopted children are adopted, and your second brother gave birth to them, so they are your nephews and nieces after all...
This is sending child labor and money at the same time, don't treat my second brother as a sucker...
Finally, the words came to my lips, and they became: "Then take it easy."
Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, opened the bag with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore, come and see what good things I brought for you, Grandpa."
What else is there besides compressed cookies in a malted milk can?
That's all.
Qiao Yu handed it over, and the old man returned the empty can to Qiao Yu.
Just after putting the bricks in place, Qiao Yu started talking about ginseng wine.
"Grandpa, I can get wild ginseng by contacting the military kid. This time, I'll ask my eldest brother to make wine from the wild ginseng. I'll send it to you when it's ready. You'd better drink it before going to bed at night, otherwise the smell of alcohol on your body will not be able to be covered up...
I will bring you some ginseng powder when I come to visit you next time. You can drink it by just mixing it with hot water, and it doesn't smell like alcohol.
Dig a little deeper and expand the place where the things are hidden so that no one can find them."
The old man was stunned for a long time, until Qiao Yu finished talking, his cloudy eyes were bloodshot, "Okay, our Xiao Yu knows how to raise a child, knows how to repay kindness, and has good luck."
Qiao Yu puffed out his chest and said with a smile, "Of course, the one who worries me the least at home is the military kid."
They chatted from dawn to sunset, and then Qiao Yu rode his bike back.
In the middle of the night, he arrived at the production team's rest stop and exchanged the silly roe deer for some dried meat. After resting for a night, he returned to the county seat.
Except when he was at work, Zhang Zhan would wait at the door when he got home. He waited for several days before his sister, who was away from home, came.
A hanging heart finally settled down.
"Sister, could you please give me a heads up before you do anything? You were at the party school for so long that I thought something had happened."
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes. "What could possibly happen? Even if something did happen, there's no communication tool on the road for me to alert you. Okay, let's stop talking about this nonsense. How's the progress on the ginseng wine?"
"It's done. Now I'll pack some dried meat and send it to the old man."
Qiao Yu followed him into the house, drank a cup of tea, and after a while, he said, "My second brother's marriage is done. What about you? How are you doing?"
"…Why are you more anxious than me?"
Qiao Yu smiled, "Do you know how excited Grandpa was when I gave him my second brother's wedding photo? You'll know next time you visit him."
Zhang Zhan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
Qiao Yu put away his smile again and said, "Okay, don't dwell on this. Grandpa didn't force you and my second brother to do anything. I asked you to go on a blind date just to tease him. Marriage is a big deal and you have to be careful. I've tested Grandpa and he hopes you'll marry someone you like. Don't settle for anything. What if you end up marrying someone who's a troublemaker, or you end up meeting your true love after you get married..."
"What?" As if he realized what she was going to say, his Adam's apple rolled nervously and he swallowed his saliva.
"Just wait to be removed from the family tree. Grandpa won't recognize such a heartless person."
Zhang Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, his nerves relaxed, and said, "I understand."
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Yu was slightly curious and went over to ask, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Um……"
Zhang Zhan did not hide the fact that an official from the committee was interested in him. The official was two years younger than him and was unmarried.
Qiao Yu frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows in an instant: "A member of the committee? You are already in your thirties, and she is only two years younger than you and not married? What delayed it?"
"I was dating someone earlier, but unfortunately I didn't meet the right person. Xiaoyu, I know what you are worried about, she is fine."
"But you don't like her either, do you?"
Fortunately, she took the trouble to express her and her husband's attitudes. Otherwise, with Zhang Zhan's personality, he might choose to settle for a compromise in marriage just to worry about his husband.
Zhang Zhan nodded without hesitation.
"Yeah, I don't have any feelings for her."
Qiao Yu had a sound sleep.
When she woke up the next day, breakfast was still warm in the pot and the newspaper was on the table. She ate while reading the newspaper, feeling very comfortable.
When I heard the knock on the door, I put down my bowl and chopsticks and newspaper and went to the door: "Here I come! Who is it?"
The moment she opened the door, she saw a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, her eyelids slightly raised, and she was thinner than a yellow flower.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, my name is Wan Chunlan. Is Director Zhang at home?"
Wan Chunlan, my eldest brother mentioned her last night.
The committee member.
