Chapter 4

Zhou Zeguo: “What are you talking about? She looks like an honest person, how could she have so many tricks? I have already found out that she was an honest and well-behaved child before she got married. If her family had not asked for a high gift, she would not have married a woman who had just died.

Her ex-husband has been dead for more than half a month, but she has never thought of abandoning her two stepchildren. This character is really similar to that of my younger brother. “

Mrs. Zhou muttered, “Little brother is really something. He always helps others raise children. Can’t he have one of his own?”

Zhou Zeguo almost revealed the secret he had kept for many years, but after thinking about it, he decided to hold it in and finally said, “Okay, go to bed quickly. Aren’t you busy enough these days?”

After all, mother didn’t know about this, it was a secret between the two brothers.

Until now, my mother still thinks that what was spread in the army was just a rumor.

At dawn the next day, Qiao Yu took out the copied cooked egg, dipped it in the meaty smell comfortably, and his expression became much happier.

When she came out of the toilet, she bumped into the sleepy Dawei. She looked a little flustered, “Dawei, are you going to the toilet?”

Dawei nodded, and after Qiao Yu made way, he looked back at her several times…

I always feel that mom seems to be in a particularly good mood today.

The breakfast was watery, with only a few dozen grains of brown rice in each person’s bowl. However, Qiao Yu had an egg as a base, as well as 7 taels of copied cooked rice powder, five salty wild vegetable balls and salt. He confidently took an ox cart to the black market in town to try his luck.

She didn’t plan to touch the things in the black box unless there was enough food, or if there was more worthy meat or fresh fruit?

Movement is also the food that is replicated by movement.

The black box can be used to store cooked food, which is why she didn’t put the unprocessed food directly into the black box at the first moment.

After walking around the black market in the town for five times and still not finding what she wanted, she went to the black market in the county to try her luck.

The food supply was in a state of emergency. There was no coarse grains, let alone fine grains, and not a single hair of meat was to be seen.

She thought that she couldn’t make the trip in vain, so she decided to sit back and wait.

See if there is anything you can gain.

It turned out that she was blessed by God.

She really did catch a sneaky person.

Oh no, it’s a good guy.

The other person found a place to squat down and put the backpack in front of him. No one else noticed this person, but Qiao Yu noticed something different about him.

He had a look of joy on his face and looked around as if he had carried something great.

Qiao Yu stepped forward tentatively and whispered to the vendor, “Brother, what are you selling?”

“Rabbit, do you want it?”

rabbit!

She got something good.

Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up when he found two freshly dead hares and asked, “Anything else good?”

“Eggs, kudzu root powder.”

They are all good things!

“Brother, what do you want to change?” Although she has nothing now, it doesn’t stop her from trying it out first.

“Money, I just want money.” As if he felt that it was a bit crazy to exchange good things for money these days, the other party explained: “My mother is in the hospital, the cost is high, I may not be able to raise enough money even if I sell my job… So, I just want money.”

“One rabbit, five eggs, and half a pound of kudzu root powder. Brother, please calculate how much you want to charge me.”

“Fifty.”

Qiao Yu gasped.

She only had a hundred yuan in total, minus the ten yuan she spent on a pound of rice…

She gritted her teeth and took the opportunity to touch her pocket, actually to withdraw money from the space. Unexpectedly, she touched something unexpected.

The two hundred yuan given to Dawei was secretly put back into his trouser pocket by Dawei.

Qiao Yu changed the subject: “Brother, I want everything you have here.”

The man glanced at Qiao Yu.

Nowadays, only cadres’ families dare to spend fifty yuan to buy these things. I didn’t expect that this skinny woman would dare to spend such a large sum of money.

She got two rabbits, twenty eggs, and three pounds of kudzu root powder.

As soon as the transaction was completed, she put the things into the black box in the space.

Seeing that she wanted it all, the other party gave her a discount and charged her only 100 yuan.

You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your child.

There was a reason why she bought grain at a high price. Even with grain coupons and meat coupons, she couldn’t buy grain and meat at the supply and marketing cooperative. If she didn’t have the copy space, she wouldn’t be willing to make money like this.

Among the tickets that Zhou’s mother gave her, the grain coupons and meat coupons could not be used to buy anything. Only the cloth coupons, industrial coupons and sugar coupons could be used.

Grain coupons and meat coupons can’t buy anything in the county, so she’ll go to the troops she’s with to see if they’re valid. Fortunately, the validity period is still long, and they’re still valid nationwide.

The supply and marketing cooperative had no shortage of cloth and candy, so she bought two pieces of cloth, a pound of milk candy, and three pounds of fruit candy. Fruit candy didn’t require a ticket, so she bought more.

She put a raw egg and a wild rabbit into the black box in the space and packed the rest of the things in a backpack. She caught the bus from the county to the town, but missed the ox cart, and finally walked back to Zhou’s house.

If there is no one around, the things in the backpack can be put back into the space, which can reduce the weight on the back.

The road was difficult to walk on at night, and it was pitch black everywhere. When we were almost at the brigade, only the Zhou family’s yard was still lit by a flickering candlelight.

At the gate of the courtyard were Dawei and Zhou Zeguo kicking stones.

Zhou Zeguo seemed to be trying to persuade her. When he saw Qiao Yu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Sister-in-law, you are finally back. The child couldn’t sleep because you didn’t come back. Mother is old, and I’m worried that she will be unwell after staying with the child for too long.

I advised her to go back to her room and sleep first. You should persuade the child not to do this again next time.”

Qiao Yu: “I understand, big brother. You’ve caused trouble. Go to bed quickly. Let sister-in-law rest a little more tomorrow morning. I’ll get up early to cook.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Zhou Zeguo responded and went back to the house.

Qiao Yu and Dawei returned to the yard one after another and locked the gate. Then she looked at Dawei and took the child back to the house.

Dawei saw her put the backpack beside the bed and took off her shoes to sleep. He couldn’t help but say, “Mom…”

Qiao Yu hushed and looked at Xiao Yong, “Go to bed early and don’t wake up your brother.”

Dawei hesitated for a moment, then took off his shoes and socks and lay down on the other side of his brother to sleep.

All my tense nerves relaxed the moment I saw my mother.

He thought his mother had run away and no longer cared about him and his brother…

Fall asleep quickly.

I don’t know what I dreamed about, I cried all night, but after waking up, I felt much more energetic than last night.

Qiao Yu woke up very early. Two wild rabbits, one pound and four ounces of cooked rice powder, ten wild vegetable dumplings, twenty raw eggs, and three pounds of kudzu root powder had already been copied into the space.

As for the cooked eggs, she didn’t include them since she would be eating them later anyway.

Now that there is more food, I am no longer worried.

She took out the hare, rubbed half of it with salt and marinated it, and chopped the remaining half into pieces, cooked it, and added some salt to eat. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to make something delicious, but in the kitchen, apart from salt, the oil cans and soy sauce jars were all empty.

I took two kilograms of Pueraria powder to make it.

Kudzu root powder is starch, which is equivalent to a staple food. Drinking it can at least fill your stomach better than drinking clear soup or porridge.

She closed the kitchen tightly, but the Zhou family still came by smelling the smell.

When Zhou’s mother saw what she was cooking, her face changed slightly and she immediately closed the kitchen door, almost pinching the nose of Zhou’s wife who was sticking her head in.

Mother Zhou thought for a moment and said, “How much does the meat cost? I’ll give it to you later.”

Qiao Yu smiled and said, “No need, mother. I’ll trouble you to help me take care of Dawei and Xiaoyong. If you really want to make a distinction, Dawei and Xiaoyong are not Zhou’s grandchildren. It’s you who is worrying about taking care of them.”
