Qiao Yu stood on tiptoe again, patted the military boy on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, military boy, you have become more capable. Tell me how you convinced your superiors."

After chatting with Junwazi, Liu Yan and her daughter came back after cleaning up the dishes.

When Qiao Yu saw that Sister Liu had cried, he comforted her like Liu Yan did: "Sister Liu, what did I say? Are you relieved to see that Yan Zi is being taken care of so well?"

Sister Liu, whose heart was broken once again, could only nod while crying.

At night, Sister Liu finally calmed down.

She spread out the mattress and said to Qiao Yu, "Qiao Mei, Yan Er and I have discussed that after the baby is born, there will definitely be noise at night. Otherwise, we can replace the bed in this room with two small ones and separate them with bamboo curtains..."

Qiao Yu waved his hands and said, "We'll talk about it later."

She knew that newborn babies had to be watched, and it was common for adults to get up in the evening to prevent anything from happening to the children at night.

It was normal for her to have trouble sleeping because of the little goldfish; after all, she was her own daughter.

But the children of military brats...

It was too noisy. She had to either throw away her good things or buy a house nearby to avoid being affected.

After making up his mind, Qiao Yu fell into a deep sleep.

After staying for two days, Qiao Yu led Zhou Jun on his journey.

Liu Yan saw him off at the door.

Normally the couple didn't talk much and quickly got used to each other, like an old married couple who had been married for many years.

Facing the separation, an inexplicable emotion arises in my heart.

Liu Yan could only use reminders to suppress her emotions, "Take care of yourself when you are away from home. Eat well and sleep well. Me? Don't worry, my mother will take care of you..."

Qiao Yu and Sister Liu were standing next to each other, looking at the couple and muttering, "Is this their first separation after marriage? Look at how reluctant they are to part, tsk tsk tsk."

Too subtle.

Unlike her and Lao Zhou, they are carnivorous men and women.

Knowing that she was going on another long journey and her return date was uncertain, Lao Zhou took a few days off and tortured her in bed every day.

God knows how I spent those days.

Wake up? Watching the dog working hard.

Even after sleeping, he is still working hard!

Hungry, he fed her spoonful after spoonful.

If the toilets nowadays were not different from those in the future, she believed that with Lao Zhou's character, he would be able to help her whether she was going to the toilet or the toilet!!

Her body's memory reminded her that she could go home later and it would be okay.

Sister Liu nodded with satisfaction, "Yan'er knows that the soldier left this time to seek a good future for the child."

"It's still Yan Zi's belly that's arguing. Look how long she's been married into our Zhou family? She's already pregnant. Fortunately, the military kid has a guy who feeds him, otherwise, his wife would have to suffer in the future."

"Yes, my Yan'er has a round belly, it must be a boy!" Sister Liu assured Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu muttered in his heart, what does it have to do with her whether the baby is a boy or a girl? It doesn't take her last name.

But she never hit anyone who smiled at her. She just said, "Boy or girl, the military kid will like them all! After all, it was Yan Zi who gave him a complete family."

Only after Qiao Yu left did Sister Liu savor the memory.

Yan'er gave the military kid a complete home? Then how does Qiaomei define herself? Does Qiaomei think that the son who married a wife is an outsider?

That's not right.

Sister Liu dismissed this idea. If the military child was really an outsider, why did she spend money to hire her to take care of Yan'er during her confinement? And why did she stay here to find resources and connections for Yan'er's nutrition during this period?

Sister Liu reacted.

Sister Qiao is so good!

This is said so as not to add burden to the two young people!

A small number of people in the compound said that if they married into the Zhou family and adopted a child, they would have to bear the unreasonable demands of Brigade Commander Zhou and his wife.

She didn't see anything "unreasonable" or "demanding".

She only saw that Qiao Mei was always giving for the young couple.

Sister Liu shed tears of envy, "Yan'er, you are so lucky to marry into the Zhou family and have a lover like Junwazi and a mother-in-law like Qiaoyu."

Hearing this, Liu Yan lowered her head in shame, "Mom~"

the other side.

After taking the train for several days and nights, Qiao Yu and Jun Wazi finally arrived in the city where Zhou's hometown was.

At the agreed time, Zhou's mother came to the station to pick them up.

Knowing that Qiao Yu and Jun Wazi were going back to their hometown, Zhou's mother also followed.

She did not go to Linshi, but set out before Qiao Yu. After getting on the train, she did not rush back to the production team, but stayed in a hotel for a few days with the certificate she had issued.

The train tickets were bought by her son and daughter-in-law, and she paid for the hotel herself.

There was never a shortage of things at home, and her daughter-in-law gave her money every month. She saved more and more money, became familiar with the wives in the compound, and became more open and generous with them.

Especially influenced by the daughter-in-law under the same roof, not only did she become more capable, but she also became more confident. Where is the style of the old country lady who has never seen the world?

If she were in the army, she would not even stay in a hotel. To save money, she could even walk home from the city!

Oh, no, in order to save money, she won’t even take the train back home, even though she is homesick.

Now she knows that her son and daughter-in-law are not short of money and do not want her to be troubled by money. Expressing her desires openly is what her son and daughter-in-law like to see most.

It's the little goldfish...

After staying in the hotel for a few days, she missed her granddaughter.

"Mom!" Qiao Yu waved at Zhou's mother.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's face that looked somewhat like a little goldfish, Zhou's mother temporarily put aside her longing.

…

red flag brigade.

After class, Mrs. Zhou came home early to prepare dinner and waited in the main room.

During her childbirth, she found temporary workers to take classes at school. Because they were relatives from her mother's side, she would take a full month off each time before going back to school. This meant that after the confinement period, she had to go to the field for a few days, otherwise she would not get any work points.

The older her child gets, the more she worries about his future.

She wanted to give her job as a primary school teacher to her eldest son Zhou Qiang...

But when the primary school was first established, the brigade where her mother's family lived was short of staff, so she, a junior high school graduate, was able to take the position.

In recent years, most of the educated youth from the city who went to the countryside were high school students. Even if that primary school was to recruit teachers, it would only accept educated youth who had graduated from high school. Why would it need Zhou Qiang?

Moreover, my mother's family has clearly stated that the brigade does not want outsiders unless they have a high school diploma.

She and her children were defined as outsiders by her family.

While she felt sad, she also knew that she was now a member of the Zhou family. It was good enough for her to keep a job. Why should she expect anything else?

When she found out that her sister-in-law had done something so daring, she was impressed by her sister-in-law's courage. And when she found out that her child could benefit from it...

These sisters-in-law can get along!

We waited and waited, and even heated up lunch two or three times, but my mother-in-law and her two companions never came back.

Zhou Zeguo frowned: "I guess he will be back in the afternoon. Okay, let's eat."

"Yes, Mom, I'm so hungry!" said the youngest son Zhou Liang.

What could Mrs. Zhou say? She nodded and picked up some food for her son, "Eat."
