Originally, the dining car on the train did not require grain and meat coupons, but due to the special famine years, grain and meat coupons were required on the train.

Many people come here just for this bite. They are not afraid of paying money or tickets, but they are afraid of not having anything to eat!

The passengers who wanted to buy more suddenly looked disappointed when they found out that the quantity was limited.

It was Qiao Yu and her friends' turn on the bunk bed, and there were only two boxes of lunch left.

Qiao Yu waved his hand without caring, "I don't need it, I brought some food."

Lu Shaowen and Aunt Miao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and took the last two boxes of lunch without hesitation.

The lunch box was topped with meat and vegetables, but there were only two or three slices of meat, and those who had nothing to eat just stared at it. There were not many vegetables either, and they were all wilted, and the rice was brown rice.

It doesn't taste that good, but for hungry people, it's a delicacy.

On the other hand, Qiao Yu.

A can of crab oil was put out, and two aluminum lunch boxes were taken out, one containing shredded potatoes and pork, and the other containing something less exaggerated, also brown rice.

Compared to the box lunches on the train, Qiao Yu's meal was quite luxurious.

The aroma of meat was especially strong. If not for the fact that many people in the entire carriage had bought lunch boxes, she would have been too conspicuous.

After quickly finishing his meal, Qiao Yu went to wash his lunch box and came back to chat with the two of them.

Three women can put on a good show. Except at night, they are always talking during the day.

Originally Lu Shaowen was a relatively gentle girl, but when she got off the train, Qiao Yu and Aunt Miao Fang brought out a slight accent in her.

Lu Shaowen smiled and said, "It would be great if I could meet you two every time I take the train. I wouldn't feel bored on the journey."

"See you again someday."

"Okay, we'll meet again sometime."

Before Qiao Yu even left the station, he saw someone holding a sign with his name on it.

Qiao Yu walked up to him with his bag on his back, "Comrade, were you sent by Grandpa?"

The other party saluted him and then said, "You are Comrade Qiao Yuqiao, right?"

She nodded and got into the car.

The gay man drove all the way to the military compound in the city, and after filling out the entry and exit certificate, he drove the car and parked it in front of a small courtyard of a two-story building.

"Comrade Qiao, we're here. The commander won't be off work for a while, and only Aunt Wang is home. Please do as you please."

"Okay, thank you comrade."

Aunt Wang was the aunt hired to look after Mr. Zhang's son, and she was very warm to Qiao Yu.

"Comrade Qiao, you must be tired after all this travel. Would you like some tea or water? I'll pour it for you."

"Just water, thank you Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang couldn't help but feel good about her when she heard her call so sweetly.

While Aunt Wang was entering the kitchen, Qiao Yu looked around the first floor.

The floor is terrazzo and the walls are painted white. There are framed photos hanging on the walls. There is a refrigerator, a TV and a TV cabinet. The tables and chairs are made of iron, the sofa is made of leather, and there is white cloth for decoration.

It is much more magnificently decorated than Zhou Ze'an's yard.

Aunt Wang poured a glass of water and followed Qiao Yu's line of sight to look at the photos on the wall. She thought that the fake daughter's photo was still hanging there, and the old man specifically asked her to take it down...

Finally? No words.

After all, in the old days there was a principle that servants should not discuss the affairs of their masters.

She was very satisfied with the job and didn't want to waste it by adding unnecessary details, so she didn't say anything more.

It was almost dusk when Mr. Zhang came back, dragging his tired body. The moment he saw Qiao Yu, he became much more energetic.

"Xiao Yu, I'm so glad to see you here! Come and sit down, Aunt Wang, is the meal I asked for ready?"

Aunt Wang poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, just heat it up and you can eat it!"

While Aunt Wang was heating up the dishes, Qiao Yu took out the gifts from his bag one by one.

"This is the crab oil I made. I put a lot of oil in it. You can cook some noodles, dry them, add some in and mix them. It will taste great.

These are shrimps and kelp. Put the shrimps directly into the soup and cook them. Soak the kelp for a few hours before making soup..."

Old Master Zhang looked at her little mouth opening and closing without stopping, "I exchanged these with members from the coastal areas. They are not expensive, and they are fresh. If it weren't for the fact that food sent by mail would be confiscated these days, I would have sent them to you a long time ago."

Mr. Zhang finally had time to interrupt: "Why do you sound like you have a Beijing accent?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "There was an old lady and a young girl on the train. They were both from Beijing. I chatted with them for a few days and nights, so I picked up a little accent."

"So that's how it is."

The food was ready, but Aunt Wang didn't sit at the table. She let her grandfather and grandson chat while she ate in the kitchen.

Grandpa Zhang: "Come, have some soda. You kids love to drink this. I asked Auntie Wang to ice it for you."

Although the temperature had dropped, Qiao Yu was still interested in the cold stuff. He took a sip and shook his head, "Refreshing!"

When Grandpa Zhang saw her smiling, he also kept smiling.

Qiao Yu asked bluntly, "Grandpa, are there any popsicles in the refrigerator?"

"You want to eat? Sure! Grandpa will prepare it for you tomorrow!"

"You are really capable, Grandpa." Qiao Yu raised his thumb.

After chatting for a few more sentences, they talked about Zhang Zhan.

"Grandpa, when will my brother come back?"

"Your elder brother...he has some issues with the army recently. How long are you going to stay?"

"There's nothing to do when I go back, so I can stay for a few more days. I can't just come here and not even see my brother, right? I can be sorry to my brother, but I have to be worthy of the passbook he gave me, right?"

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right."

Mr. Zhang didn't think Qiao Yu was being cunning. On the contrary, it was rare for her to be so open and honest, especially when she was born in such an environment. He gradually admired his granddaughter and was impressed by the power of genes.

He is worthy of being a descendant of the Zhang family!

Qiao Yu's bedroom was cleaned up early. It was on the second floor and had an independent bathroom with not only a flush toilet but also a shower.

Isn't this much more convenient than taking a bath with boiled water on the island?

"How is it? Do you like it?" Mr. Zhang asked with a smile when he saw her enter the room and go to admire the bathroom first.

Qiao Yu's fair face flushed with excitement. "I like it, I like it very much! There's a flush toilet and a shower, which is really convenient. Grandpa, is this bedroom mine from now on?"

"Of course, whether you come to Beijing or not in the future, I will ask Aunt Wang to clean this room from time to time so that it will be convenient for you to stay."

"Which room did the fake one live in before?"

Old Master Zhang smiled and said, "This room used to be my son, daughter-in-law and her room. After I knew you were being replaced with them, I ordered someone to open up the room and let you live there."

If her initial impression of Mr. Zhang was based on the passbook and his attitude toward her, after hearing what he said, she finally called him with all her heart, "Grandpa!"

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Grandpa, you are so kind to me."

From then on, I called him "Grandpa" with real meaning and truly treated him as a relative.

After all, it was not Grandpa Zhang's fault that the baby was swapped. Grandpa Zhang was also hurt, and after knowing the truth, he has been trying to make up for it, even at the cost of falling out with his son and daughter-in-law.

If she continued to lie and act hypocritically to such a sensible and elderly person, it would be inhumane.
