Jiang Qiao stopped and looked directly at the other person. "You've come all this way, I'm afraid it's not just to wish me a Happy New Year. Tell me, what is it?"
Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up. "Great idea! I'll get straight to the point. My wife and I have been thinking about it, and we think it would be more suitable to move to your county town or your hometown. What do you think?"
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Have you thought this through? You must know my situation. I'm not much better off than you."
I know what you want. Taking care of you in your old age is no problem. However, there's a situation: I need to take exams this year and will be studying in another city. You two need to think about it again—whether you want to stay here or go somewhere else. There's no rush; you can tell me when you've decided.
Zhou Yu waved his hand. "Jiang Qiao, the reason I came here is because I've thought it through. You can decide how to arrange things for us. Anyway, we don't have any relatives, so you can decide what to do."
"By the way, where are you headed? Won't you invite me to your house?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "I have urgent business to attend to and I don't know when I'll be back. How about this, I'll write a note and you can go find my Grandpa Qiao. They're home, and you can stay there for the night."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, "Never mind, since you have something to do, then hurry up and take care of it. I'll go back and pack up now. In the meantime, think about where we should go, and come find us later."
The reason we came at this time was in case you needed to go out, and we just wanted to let you know in advance.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "There probably aren't any cars going back now. How about I find someone to give you a ride?"
Zhou Yu shook his head. "This is not a difficult thing for me. In a little while, there will be a car. I will give the driver some money, and someone will give me a ride. You can rest assured. I am old enough to not get lost. If I can find my way back, I will be able to get back safely."
Jiang Qiao nodded, not pressuring him further. "Alright, I'm going into the mountains. If anything comes up, I'll come find you after I'm done. In the meantime, you two should think about whether to rent or sell the house. If you're going to rent it out, then rent it long-term. It's up to you. Goodbye—"
Upon reaching the main road, Jiang Qiao and Zhou Yu parted ways; one went into the mountains, while the other flagged down a car on the roadside to return.
Zhou Yu got the answer he wanted on this trip, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
At least Jiang Qiao didn't refuse his suggestion, especially with the two meat-filled buns the little girl had given him in his arms, which made him feel very warm inside.
As Jiang Qiao walked, she thought about Zhou Yu and his wife. Hiding in the countryside was not a wise choice. It was true that the population in this place was small, but her grandfather was here with that kind of status. She really didn't want the couple to get involved in this mess.
However, leaving the two people in another place, even if she could take care of them, if they were too far away and something urgent happened, she really wouldn't be able to help much.
Especially since the couple doesn't have children yet, she has to consider things more for the other party.
Just for the sake of the kindness of burying her body in her past life, she has to provide for this old man.
The key question is, where would be a suitable place for them to stay? Thinking back to the Zhou Yu nephew she had met, Jiang Qiao was unsure. Her first impression of him wasn't good; he seemed rather gloomy.
But for a moment, she really couldn't think of where to put them. To be honest, her maternal grandfather's place was quite nice. If the couple went there, at least she wouldn't have to worry about her maternal grandfather's side.
However, if the enemy agents find out about this couple going there, then everything her grandfather did will be in vain. This place is not suitable.
Thinking about Zhou Yu's medical skills, Jiang Qiao felt it was a pity. Doctors were in short supply everywhere. If Zhou Yu could, he would probably be happy to return to his old profession and do what he loved. Even if life was a little tough, he would be happy to do it.
Thinking about this, she vaguely had an idea, but she had to go back and discuss it with Zhou Yu and the others.
She hurried on her way. Compared to when she came yesterday, she felt much more lonely by herself. However, the harvest she had along the way brought her some comfort. She couldn't bring too much food with her, so she would have to make do with the meat. She wasn't sure if the radar station was rationed.
Hopefully, the old devils will arrive soon and things will end quickly, so she can have the energy to deal with Lone Wolf's gang.
Just thinking about Lone Wolf and his gang made Jiang Qiao's blood boil. Damn it, what did she do to them? These bastards are always trying to kill her.
This time, they won't even need to come knocking on her door. Once she has some free time, she'll deal with them one by one. Do they really think she's a saint? Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Jiang Qiao. It's already a miracle that she hasn't double-crossed them.
As Jiang Qiao walked, thought, and hunted, she didn't feel that time was passing slowly. This was mainly because her mind was never idle, so she didn't have time to think about the time.
As long as she wasn't hungry, time wasn't a problem for her. It was already noon when they finally reached the valley.
She put the extra prey into her spatial storage, descended the valley, and slowly made her way forward. It was the people on the mountain who saw her and greeted her first.
"Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao, over here—"
Jiang Qiao looked up and saw a patrol of soldiers waving at her. "Hurry up, there's food left for you in the kitchen, and there are people waiting for you. Come a few steps faster."
Jiang Qiao wanted to ask who was waiting for her, but the soldiers had already left.
He sighed, cursed the old Japanese devil in his heart, and quickened his pace.
Liu Zhanyu had already spotted Jiang Qiao's shadow from above and was waving frantically at the little girl.
"Happy New Year, my dear!"
Hearing Liu Zhanyu's shout from afar, Jiang Qiao almost tripped over her own feet. "My God, what's he doing here? He's not at home with his wife and kids during the New Year."
After talking to himself, he waved to Liu Zhanyu and said, "Teacher Liu, what brings you here?"
Liu Zhanyu chuckled as he watched the girl run over. "Little girl, is it wrong for me, as her father, to miss my daughter? There's nothing wrong with me coming to see her, is there?"
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at the other person with amusement, "You're still not out of character? The play is over, it's time for the next scene, you should wake up."
Liu Zhanyu laughed heartily, "Jiang Qiao, how have you been?"
Jiang Qiao hummed twice, "What do you think? You can't even have a peaceful New Year. Do you think I'm sick or not?"
Seeing Jiang Qiao climb up the ladder, Liu Zhanyu came over to lend a hand and took the basket from her.
"You silly girl, how come you walked for so long? By the way, why is your basket so heavy?"
"Hehe, I knew you were coming, so I had to prepare more. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a good daughter. I'm bringing you meat to show my respect. It's not easy for you to come all the way here during the New Year. I'll hunt some game to give you a treat."
