The cold had not yet faded, especially late at night, with gusts of northerly wind. Zhang Zhan planned to leave the military compound and take a taxi to the station.
In the early 1980s, infrastructure construction was still underway. Although it was the capital, there were not many taxis, and most of them were running during the day. In the middle of the night, where could you find any taxis? Not even any people.
Qiao Yu said coldly, "If we hadn't guessed it, how would you have gotten to the train station if you couldn't catch a taxi?"
"You still have legs."
"..."
"You see, I left early so I could walk to the train station on foot."
Qiao Yu felt a bit of a headache after listening to this.
She thought about it and decided to be patient. If she was patient, everything would be calm.
Damn it!
She has lived for two lifetimes, and has she ever tolerated anyone like that?
Qiao Yu started to curse, "Legs! Doesn't your family have a car to arrange? Do you really have to endure this hardship and walk to the train station?! You are so old, aren't you afraid of getting cold legs in the future?! It's worrying that you are alone in the Northeast, and there is no one who knows how to keep you warm. What are you going to do in the future?"
Don't worry about this, don't worry about that, you endure the hardship without any effort, and even after suffering, you still want us, as your relatives, to feel sorry for you! Don't you know your own worth, right?"
…
She scolded him all the way, and Zhang Zhan was robbed all the way.
During this time, Zhang Zhan frequently winked at Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou saw it through the rearview mirror, but pretended not to see it.
Just kidding, who is Lao Zhou from?
How can a brother-in-law compare to my wife?
He saved his brother-in-law from danger, but what about his wife's mood?
The sky is big, the earth is big, but the daughter-in-law is the biggest.
When we arrived at the train station, the car stalled and Zhang Zhan seemed to have stalled too, lifeless.
Qiao Yu asked him, "Have you bought the tickets already?"
Zhang Zhan: "Well... sleeper, but it's still early to get into the station."
Zhang Zhan calculated his departure time based on the walking time, and now that he was being driven to the station, he was indeed much earlier.
Qiao Yu glanced at the stalls outside the train station and said, "I saw that you were worried last night and didn't eat much. Are you hungry?"
Zhang Zhan has no appetite.
Qiao Yu got out of the car first.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhang Zhan's expression froze and he looked at Lao Zhou.
The latter looked at his brother-in-law through the rearview mirror and couldn't help sighing, "Why are you looking at me? Brother-in-law, is this your first day meeting Xiaoyu? Since she asked this, it must be that she wants to eat it herself, and she symbolically uses you as a shield."
Zhang Zhan laughed dryly twice.
His little sister has always had a unique personality, but he had forgotten this.
I opened the door and got out of the car, and saw that my little sister had already started eating.
"Brother, come quickly! Aren't you hungry?"
The little sister greeted him while eating.
no.
Who is hungry?
He never said he was hungry!
All right.
Seeing his little sister eating so happily, he couldn't help but have one too.
Chuanchuanxiang, Jianbingguozi, Bingtanghulu...
Qiao Yu took two bites of each and then threw the food to Lao Zhou.
Old Zhou is used to eating leftovers, and he eats them without changing his expression.
Zhang Zhan took two bites and then stopped.
It's quite unappetizing.
The couple showed their love in front of him, a single man.
After eating at all the stalls, you can almost enter the station.
Qiao Yu held her round belly and her anger towards Zhang Zhan was lessened.
"Don't leave without telling me next time."
"oh……"
"Be careful over there. If anything happens, call home. Why did Lao Zhou and I climb so high? Why did my second brother study so hard? Isn't it to protect our family from being wronged?"
"Yeah, okay."
"You are already so old, don't let me, as a sister, worry about you."
"Okay, got it."
"Okay, hurry up and get out of here. I get angry when I see you."
The moment Zhang Zhan turned around, he suddenly felt his breath was fresh and his steps became lighter.
It feels so good to be away from the elders at home!
Eh, no, that's not right...
never mind.
Zhang Zhan waved to Qiao Yu through the window.
Qiao Yu held Lao Zhou's arm and waved happily at him.
Zhang Zhan: ...
Really, it’s a dog killer.
It's so heartbreaking.
Zhang Zhan retracted his gaze.
As soon as the train started, Qiao Yu wanted to pull his hand back, but Lao Zhou held the back of his hand firmly.
"You turned against me after you took advantage of me? Who taught you to be like this?"
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and turned to meet Lao Zhou's gaze. "I created it myself."
"No."
Listening to his wild and unruly face and his words coaxing a child, Qiao Yu also pretended to be young: "What's wrong? Do you still want to teach me a lesson?"
"I'll deal with you when I get back."
"I'm so scared." Qiao Yu lowered his voice, "Let's see who will take care of who."
Lao Zhou: ...
Excited and excited.
Just keep on stepping on the gas and drive all the way home.
As soon as they entered the hall, Lao Zhou took off his coat and helped Qiao Yu to unbutton it.
Qiao Yu pressed his fingertips against his approaching lips.
"Don't be so hasty."
Hmm? You want something gentle and slow this time?
It's all the same. When she gets tired of it, she always asks you to do it harder.
Tenderness and brutality come alternately.
Lao Zhou stood up and asked, "What tricks are you going to play?"
Qiao Yu went to the kitchen.
When he came out, Qiao Yu brought out a bowl of ginseng wine.
She has the habit of making wine. Her family has been making several jars of ginseng wine for years, but she doesn't know what else is added to it besides ginseng?
She brought it to him and he drank it in one gulp.
Immediately, a feeling of heat came from the abdomen.
Very good, now I know what this bubble does.
"How do you feel?" Qiao Yu blinked and observed his reaction.
Old Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think?"
Qiao Yu took a sip from the edge of the bowl, went to the kitchen again, and drank half a bowl.
Lao Zhou followed behind her, not stopping her, but watching her movements with a keen gaze.
"Fuck." Qiao Yu spit out a nasty mouthful.
He couldn't help laughing at her reaction.
Qiao Yu washed the bowl, put it casually on the stove, and rushed upstairs with Lao Zhou, "Come on, come on, hurry up."
"Pull the light..."
"It's so annoying."
Having said that, Qiao Yu still turned on the light.
They had gone out in the middle of the night and had been busy for a while. When the daylight came, they were still full of energy.
Qiao Yu crawled out from under the quilt, gasping for breath, "I can't take it anymore, it's too painful..."
Before he could finish his words, Lao Zhou pulled him back.
…
After breakfast was ready, Lao Zhou hummed a song as he finished his meal and went upstairs to his room. He did a series of actions in one go, treating his home as a cafeteria.
The little goldfish looked around before asking Zhou's mother, "Grandma, where is my uncle?"
Zhou's mother: "...I guess he left without saying goodbye?"
Little Goldfish pondered for a moment. Her mother liked to do this, and her uncle also liked to do this. As a child of the Zhang family, shouldn't she follow suit? Otherwise, she would be out of place.
…
After the New Year, Qiao Yu still took a rest.
The children have all started school, and she takes Zhou's mother out to eat and drink every day, not doing any work.
It wasn't until the veterans who were resettled in the suburbs came to her for help that she thought of causing trouble.
The skin care products and internal medicines she made at the time were very popular in the circle and became a legend. When she came back this year, many people wanted to buy things through Zhou's mother, but her mother did not give the wives in the Beijing circle a definite answer.
Qiao Yu waved his hand and collected the raw materials from a medicine farm run by an old lady's relative.
