Zhou's mother's expression changed. "What's there to be embarrassed about? Just think of this place as your home. Do you need to return something at home?"

Qiao Yu did not reply.

She firmly believed that there was no good thing between strangers in this world without any reason, and the two of them were the most unclear mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in China for thousands of years.

Zhou Ze'an's hidden illness must be very serious!

Qiao Yu was a little distracted.

How serious is it? If you have never been in love or married in your previous life, you can't marry a man and continue to be a widow in this life, right?

Is Zhou Ze'an so good-looking but useless?

Alas, Qiao Yu sighed and decided to accept his fate for the time being. After all, he had saved his life.

"Okay, you decide."

She would leave her things behind when she left anyway.

Mother Zhou took the bag of grain and happily fried the rice grains together with the shells, then ground them into dark brown powder, packed them up and sent them to Qiao Yu.

A pound of rice, fried and ground into powder, weighs only about seven ounces.

Zhou's mother ground it several times and sifted it through a sieve. Even if it was ground with the shell on, the powder was still fine. Except that the color looked darker, it was actually not much different from fine grains and was very suitable for children to eat.

Qiao Yu remembered it in his heart, thanked it, and put it in the black box in the space.

After Zhou's mother left, and after learning that the Zhou family had not done anything to Dawei and Xiaoyong, he left the two children in the house and went to the back mountain to see if he could get anything.

The Zhou family built a large tiled house with green bricks. The conditions were very good, especially the room where the three of them, mother and son, lived. It was Zhou Ze'an's room, with good lighting and fresh air.

Anyway, the room she slept in was the best room in the original owner's memory.

Such treatment...When she thought about Zhou Ze'an's failure, she became depressed again.

＞﹏＜

The hills behind are completely bare, having already been plucked clean by the members.

She went deep into the mountains without fear of death.

The consequence of placing living things in the replication space = the cute little animals will be killed on the spot.

When she thought that her life would not be in danger, and that the cute big wild boar, the gentle big bad wolf, and oh my god, even the naughty little snake, could all become her prey, she couldn't help it...

"Gulp gulp."

The empty city plan sent from her abdomen put all her fantasies on hold.

Forget about the big wild boar, the big bad wolf and the little snake, she didn't even see a single rabbit hair!

However, no one picked the wild vegetables in the deep mountains, and the members were afraid that they would not be able to pick them even if they had the hands, so she squatted down and started picking wild vegetables every time she walked a short distance. If it were not for the continuous drought, the wild vegetables in the deep mountains would grow more densely.

All the wild vegetables that were picked were put into the backpack.

After walking deep into the mountains for an hour, we didn't see any cute little animals and had to return home disappointed.

The backpack was weighed down with hay. After entering Zhou's yard, she put the backpack in the kitchen and lifted the hay off it.

Zhou's mother had gone somewhere. Zhou's wife was making a fire to cook. Seeing the basket full of wilted wild vegetables, she asked in disbelief, "You, you ran off to the mountains?"

Qiao Yu grinned, "There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains that no one is picking. I went there at the right time."

Mrs. Zhou thought about it and said nothing more. After all, there were so many dishes that she could eat a few bites.

Qiao Yu: "Sister-in-law, please make half of these into vegetable dumplings for me and the children to eat on the train, and the other half as a side dish for everyone today."

"Yeah, okay." She agreed, and then whispered, "Don't go to the mountains in the future. It's dangerous. If something happens to you, what will Dawei and Xiaoyong do?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." Although she said that, she still had to go tomorrow.

When it was time for dinner, Zhou's mother saw the fresh wild vegetables on the table, her face darkened a few shades, and when she was serving the vegetables, she gave Qiao Yu half an extra spoonful.

Qiao Yu passed the half spoonful to Dawei and Xiaoyong, "This is enough for mom. You are growing up, so eat more."

Actually?

She thought that she could replicate an egg from the boiled egg tomorrow, and continue to put it in the black box, so that it would lay eggs every day, and she would secretly add some fishy smell every day... Well, she felt bad about it.

It is not advisable to eat alone.

At worst, we can just give more of these coarse grains to the children!

Zhou's eldest uncle and his wife felt a little ashamed. In this famine year, when food was scarce, they had not thought of allocating food to the children. If they ate less, they would not be able to work in the fields. Even though one of them was the accountant of the team and the other was a teacher, they still had to work in the fields during the busy farming season.

There have been examples where the adults gave meals to the children, but they almost died because they lost their temper while working in the fields. They dared not do anything the adults said.

Compared with my new sister-in-law, they seem... a little selfish when it comes to their children?

Zhou's mother looked relieved.

Qiao Yu is so good to his stepson. If he really joins the army, he will definitely be better at living than the previous one.

All she hoped for was a daughter-in-law who would be warm and kind to her youngest son.

The Zhou family has such a good offer, who wouldn't want to marry into a rich family? But her youngest son has been cold since he was a child, and he treats everyone like this. The one in front of him was promoting it everywhere in the military camp...

If that ignorant girl really married and joined the army, not to mention all the gossip, even her three stepsons would annoy her to death.

Qiao Yu is still a good guy. He seems to be a man who can live a peaceful life.

After dinner, Zhou's mother pulled her into the house, took out a key from her underwear, unlocked the bedside table, and took out an iron box.

The pockets on the underwear are to prevent money from being stolen or lost. This is also the way the original owner hid money.

As soon as she opened the iron box, she saw a lot of tickets and money.

She was a little dizzy.

"I won't give you this money for now. When you join the army and report your marriage, I'll send you half of it. This is the salary and allowance that the youngest brother sent back over the years. I saved it all for him. When he married the first one, I gave him one thousand..."

Um?

Qiao Yu was confused, "Wait, Mom, Zhou Ze'an is also married for the second time?"

"You don't know?" Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment, but she didn't hide it, saying, "The previous one wasn't a good one. He made trouble after one month of marriage, and divorced in less than three months. He also went around the army saying that my youngest son was not good enough..."

Oh, this is to give her a vaccination?

Qiao Yu thought that both she and Zhou Ze'an were remarried? Well, that's fair.

The complicated inner feelings were once again calmed down by the vaccination given by Zhou's mother.

I continued to listen absentmindedly.

Zhou's mother cursed a few times at first, then seemed to notice that she hadn't really married yet, so she calmed down a bit and said, "Don't believe what people say outside, my youngest son is in good health."

I see. This is to ask her to help cover up.

Qiao Yu shyly replied, "I believe him, mother."

Zhou's mother said with relief, "You called me mother, how can I not show some appreciation? Mother has high hopes for you and my youngest son, so I am sending you this money as your dowry."

Qiao Yu understood immediately.

hush money.

"Yes, mother, I understand."

"Hello, A-Yu." Zhou's mother sighed again.

After chatting for a few words, Zhou's mother reminded her not to go to the back mountain before letting her go.

As soon as I got back to the house, Mrs. Zhou brought me the wild vegetable dumplings she had made. "I put a lot of salt in this because I was afraid it would go bad. When you make the rice flour, pour the vegetable dumplings in and mix them together. It will definitely taste better than just making rice flour."

"Oh, okay, I understand. Thank you, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Qiao Yu's smiling face and was stunned for a long time before returning to the house.

Tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep, Zhou Dasao bumped into Zhou Zeguo's shoulder and said, "I think the new sister-in-law is prettier than the previous one, but she's skinny due to the famine, and her eyes are bulging, which makes her look scary. Mother also said that the new sister-in-law knows how to live... If she really joins the army and raises her skin, she won't be as naughty as the previous sister-in-law, right? She even dared to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables...

Tell me, was the scene where he gave the two stepchildren some rice to eat just now just for show?"
