Chapter 346 Farewell to the island and head to Beijing



The gate to the courtyard was open, and the sun shone into the vast ocean, dyeing the azure sea golden. Only the occasional waves revealed a hint of its original color.

The light stretched the shadows of the couple sitting in the yard very long.

Qiao Yu put on gloves and silently took the dishes that Lao Zhou had washed, saying, "I'll leave this time and come back later..."

This is not home anymore.

"Can't bear to part with it?"

Qiao Yu shook his head and thought about his previous life.

She has always been a wanderer, and going abroad to expand overseas markets is a common thing for her. She has no sense of belonging in the world before she traveled through time. Perhaps she herself does not belong to that world.

The sense of belonging I have now may be given by my family, or perhaps by the simple people of this era. When it comes time to say goodbye, I still feel a little melancholy.

So after the party, she needed a quiet environment to do something to distract herself from the chaos.

Lao Zhou didn't say anything else. He glanced at her and slowed down his dishwashing. She didn't notice at all and her eyes were a little blank.

After washing the dishes, she also wanted to mop the floor and wipe off the dust.

Lao Zhou hugged her and said, "Okay, go wash up and go to bed."

"oh."

Seeing that she was not in a good mental state, Lao Zhou helped her take a bath, carried her upstairs, and then held her in his arms.

Didn't do anything, just held her.

"Old Zhou."

"Um?"

"You're getting older..."

"..." Old Zhou's expression was a little distorted, "Do you think I'm old?"

Qiao Yu: "I'm afraid you'll leave early, leaving me alone, what should I do?"

"..."

He hugged her a little harder and said, "No, I won't leave before you."

"You mean you're going to outlive me?"

"One day at most."

"ah?"

"Go to bed early, or I'll start to suspect you've changed your mind."

"Ha, that's enough. I'm not going to pretend to be a hipster anymore. Let's do something else to divert our attention."

"Ah, that's not good. I didn't bring the water bottle back to my room..."

"What are you thinking about? Give me an essential oil massage!"

"..."

He was indeed overthinking it.

There were ambiguous sounds in the house, but the couple was serious.

After the meal, Qiao Yu packed up her things and packed up all of her and Zhou's mother's things, as well as Little Goldfish and the third and fourth kids' things and sent them to Beijing.

After spending a few more days of tenderness with Lao Zhou, he boarded the train to Beijing.

Because he understood that she had to take the train, Mr. Zhou didn't go too far.

Qiao Yu also kissed him in appreciation, not too lingering, but full of affection.

"Old Zhou, I'll be waiting for you in Jing City."

"Um."

Every time we parted, Lao Zhou became less talkative.

Qiao Yu hugged his head again, kissed him, and coaxed him: "With your ability, I believe that day is not far away!"

"..." She is used to praising others.

But he enjoyed it.

Lao Zhou: "Well, not too long."

"I knew our old Zhou was awesome!"

Hearing her praise, Lao Zhou also laughed, "What else?"

"So handsome! So cool!"

"Well, what else?"

Qiao Yu: "It's courtesy, shouldn't you also compliment me?"

"..." The happiness is gone.

Sitting on the green train, Qiao Yu looked at the distant scenery. It was not the first time he experienced separation, but the feeling was different every time.

Beijing city.

After receiving the second telegram from the island, the old man was furious and yelled at the telegram: "I told you to stay longer! Why did you come back so soon!"

As he spoke, meeting the little goldfish's gaze of "So you are such a great-grandmother", the old man excused himself: "I am just thinking about your parents! It is not good for a couple to be apart for too long!"

Little Goldfish Cricket: "Great-grandmother, stop it. You clearly just want to eat more chili peppers without Mom's knowledge! My parents love each other no matter how long they have been apart!"

Even so, the little goldfish felt disgusted.

The old man didn't refute it, he was frantically trying to make up for it.

What are you looking for?

The chili sauce made at home is exclusive to him, but it is limited in quantity. If half a can is missing, even a fool would know that there is a problem!

When Sister Liu brought dinner, the old man hurried over to talk about the chili sauce.

"Can the military brats still make chili sauce?"

Sister Liu was confused and asked, "Chili sauce? The chili peppers in the yard have just been planted, and it's too early to pick them. How do I make chili sauce?"

"What can I do?"

How can a soldier make chili sauce without fresh chilies?

The old man thought of a trick and bought some canned chili sauce from outside and added it to the can of chili given by the soldier.

In order to keep silent, he even bribed several insiders as follows.

The quadruplets, the little goldfish and Zhou's mother.

As for the children, they can be settled with a little money. Now it’s Zhou’s mother’s turn…

Zhou's mother advised him, "You should confess the truth. Xiaoyu has a pair of sharp eyes. What you did behind the youngster's back is a small matter. If you are found out, you will be in trouble..."

Mother Zhou hesitated and didn't say the last few words of "You have to have a lot of face."

Seeing that the old man still had a firm attitude, Zhou's mother was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

Whatever.

Now that Qiao Yu is back, the house should be lively.

It was indeed lively.

When Qiao Yu came back, the chain reaction caused by the old man eating chili sauce was reflected in the corners of his mouth——

I got a pimple.

Qiao Yu hugged people one by one, first the four little goldfish babies and Zhou's mother, and when it was the old man's turn, she stared at the bright red pimple.

"Grandpa..."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, I just got back to my position. I have a problem with those old guys, but I can't punish them, so I can only have some verbal disputes. Now, it's getting hot." He pointed at the pimple, "I'm getting hot! Even chrysanthemum tea doesn't work! Can you give me some medicine to reduce the heat?"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

"Okay, I'll give you a number."

"Hey, no need, no need..."

"No? Then I can't prescribe medicine."

"Forget it, it will disappear in a few days anyway... Ouch!"

Qiao Yu forcibly pulled the old man's hand and gave him a number.

The old man pretended to be calm and at ease.

The old man was sweating profusely.

The old man began to feel weak.

"Yu..."

"Have you eaten chili peppers?" Qiao Yu smiled.

"not……"

"Really? Then I'll go ask the military kid and try some of the chili sauce at home."

"No." The old man hesitated for a moment, then admitted: "I ate it."

"Is it delicious?"

"Mmmmm, delicious."

The little goldfish scratched his face with his fingertips, "Grandma, you're so shy, imitate me!"

The great-grandmother said confidently: "An old man in the family is like a treasure. Everyone is a treasure! What's wrong with learning?"

Qiao Yu had a headache and held his forehead.

This matter cannot be blamed on other people in the family, because the old man is in a high position and is the oldest in the family.

She glanced at Sister Wang and said, "Sister Wang, please cook for Grandpa alone recently. Use less oil and salt, and keep the food light."

"Yu..."

After Qiao Yu had given Sister Wang instructions, he turned around and met Grandpa's gaze, "Grandpa, for your sake, I won't be out and about in the next few months. I'll just stay with you, okay?"

"No... not very good."

"What's wrong? Am I unfilial? My nature is to travel the world, but I have returned to my family for you, giving up my nature, suppressing my desires, and making such a great sacrifice. How can this not be good?"

What a moral kidnapping!
