Qiao Yu was only familiar with a few families on the island, and the rest were just nodding acquaintances.

Zhang Cuihua finally started talking about duck eggs.

Speaking of this child, Zhang Cuihua sighed: "You still have to be selective when getting married. You can't just marry a good man, you also have to consider what his in-laws are like."

"What happened to the duck eggs?"

"She was screwed by her husband's family. Even though she has the money in her hands, she still can't have peace and quarrels with her husband's family every day."

Having said that, Zhang Cuihua looked at Qiao Yu again.

When she went to see the director of the Women's Federation, the latter also complained to her that Yadan's child was still ruined. If she had married into the Zhou family and Qiao Mei had been her mother-in-law, Yadan would have been so happy.

Zhang Cuihua asked again: "Now that Shuhui is pregnant, you won't..."

Qiao Yu spread his hands, "You know, I can't take care of people, and if I don't do my job well, I can only pay."

Zhang Cuihua sighed, "Girls who marry into your Zhou family are happier."

"Don't mention these things to the Director."

"See, am I that stupid?"

Who are you.

When I first met Zhang Cuihua, I thought she was brainless.

Now that I have a brain, my appearance has changed a lot. At least I don’t look like a fool anymore.

As we chatted, we turned to the topic of medicines for regulating internal energy and skin care products.

Zhang Cuihua raised her thumbs up, "The director was also talking about the internal breath medicine you made, Qiao Mei. This is it."

The director of the Women's Federation has grown in age.

Old people of this age have a body odor, even if they wash frequently. But after the director of the Women's Federation took the internal odor medicine, the old smell was gone. If only a few of them knew about it privately and Qiao Yu had warned them not to spread it, the director would have wanted to give it to Brigade Commander Dai.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Those internal breath medicines are only for women. They won't work for men."

"I see. Fortunately, I didn't waste any money."

Zhang Cuihua and her friends had almost used up the internal breath medicine and skin care products in their hands, and asked Qiao Yu when he would make some more.

Qiao Yu: "I'll prepare it for you before I leave. Even if I go to Beijing, I can still send it later."

Especially after the reform and opening up, she could do it openly.

This thing uses centuries-old medicinal herbs from the replication space. Although the quantity is not much, it doesn't prevent her from raising the price!

From now on, this thing will only be used in high-end circles and will not be backward compatible, which is equivalent to attracting the upper-class circles.

After Zhang Cuihua left happily, Shuhui's niece from her mother's side came to see Qiao Yu.

Ever since Yadan got married, every time she sent eggs to Shi Wuya, she became Shuhui's niece.

After Qiao Yu invited the child into the study, the child handed over two envelopes and said hurriedly, "Grandma Qiao, I'm going to find my aunt. You can take your time to read it."

"Okay." Qiao Yu grabbed a handful of candy and put it in the child's pocket and said.

One envelope is bulging, and the other is very thin.

She first opened the thin envelope, which contained several thank-you notes.

In the letter, Shi Wuya mentioned that she would graduate successfully soon, and would apply to go to the countryside after graduation. She also mentioned that she had won the top ranking in her class at each age group, and thanked the Zhou family for supporting her over the years. Finally, she vaguely mentioned that she helped her classmates copy books to make money after entering junior high school, and went to the black market to try her luck and make money after entering high school.

The savings accumulated over the years are all in another envelope. Even though it is still far from enough to repay her, she will find other opportunities...

Another thick envelope contained money and bills.

As for money, it was mostly in cents, so the envelope was bulging.

Qiao Yu put the two letters into the space, looked out the window, and suddenly felt that time passed so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up, and she is about to leave the island where she has lived for seventeen years.

…

She invited many people.

for example?

The director of the Women's Federation of the military compound, Zhang Cuihua, Wang Zhaodi, former colleagues from the military hospital, Lao Zhou's comrades-in-arms, and even the business manager of the shopping mall were invited.

While eating, everyone was happy and talked about everything.

Chat about daily life and gossip.

The sunlight reflected on everyone's face, and Qiao Yu recalled the past ten years from these faces.

Small frictions, small setbacks, small conflicts, we have been happy together, we have been happy together, and we have worked together.

Time flies, the past is like smoke.

She offered them a toast with tea instead of wine, "Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, I am where I am today because of your care over the years! I offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

Take a sip, look up, and you will see the quiet scene.

A pair of eyes fell on me at once.

She was not at all nervous and continued, "Knowing you makes my life colorful, joyful and exciting, and gives me something to reminisce about when I am old and my life comes to an end!

I, Qiao Yu, have many shortcomings, and it is all thanks to your understanding and concessions that I am where I am today.

Of course, one cannot be too pessimistic. My son and daughter-in-law are still here, and this is my second home. I will come back to visit in the future. I don’t ask for good wine and good food to entertain you, but I hope you guys don’t think I’m bothering you!”

Yes, be a guest.

She took off the title of "host" and put herself in the position of "guest" as a farewell, and also as a way of telling everyone that even if she moved away, she would come back often to visit.

In a half-joking tone, she changed her priority from first to second. Even if they became strangers when they met in the future, people on the island would think of her words and establish the friendship of being the host.

Always leave some room for others so that you can meet again in the future.

Qiao Yu successfully quoted this saying and turned it into a message of being honest and frank, and they remained friends in the future.

Why not put them on a high pedestal?

Obviously, Qiao Yu's impetuous temper is her own business, and her wonderful life is also her own business, but her words seemed to be saying that they played an important role in her life.

It was as if they were all her life mentors.

Zhang Cuihua was the first to recover from her shock and teased Old Zhou, "Captain Zhou! Sister Qiao is calling us! Let us treat you with good food and wine in the future!"

Wang Zhaodi also joked: "Sister Qiao, that's fine. When you come back here, you can come as a guest. For this "second home", we, as distant relatives, should pay out of our pockets to entertain you, right?"

"Hahaha!"

The whole room burst into laughter.

"Captain Zhou, please take care of your lover!"

"What a talkative mouth you have! I almost thought I could become a master and a teacher!"

"Brigade Commander Zhou! Hurry up and revive Gangfu!"

Old Zhou said solemnly, "At home and outside, my love is the most important."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Brigade Commander Zhou is still a coward!"

"What is Brigade Commander Zhou called in Sichuan and Chongqing?"

"Hoo-ha! Hahahaha!"

It should have been a slightly sad farewell, but it ended up making everyone laugh and get drunk.

The mess at home was always cleaned up by the men of the Zhou family. It was rare that Qiao Yu took the initiative to clean up this time.

Qiao Yu also asked Zhou Wu and his wife to go back to their room and rest quickly.

Zhou Wu frowned and looked at Zhou Ze'an, who had already rolled up his sleeves. The latter said, "Go back and rest. I'll talk to your mother for a while."

"Okay." Zhou Wu looked at his mother deeply before helping Shuhui upstairs and returning to the house.

Qiao Yu pulled over a small stool and asked Lao Zhou to sit next to him.
