Chapter 80

Qiao Yu received a package from Beijing and thought it was sent by his eldest brother or Mr. Zhang.

Then she saw Zhang Fu’s handwriting and words of apology…

With a dark face, she stuffed these goodies back into the package, planning to go to the island again tomorrow to deliver them back.

Seeing this, Zhou Wu asked curiously, “Auntie Qiao, who sent it? Why did you put the package back?”

“Oh, a pair of idiots.” Qiao Yu said indifferently.

Zhou Wu: “Who?”

Zhou Wen: “They should be Qiao’s biological parents.”

When Qiao Yu first arrived on the island, Zhou Wen didn’t like to talk much, but now he can communicate normally like ordinary people.

Qiao Yu gave Zhou Wen a thumbs up.

You are so good, Wenwazi, you can even guess this.

Zhou Wu didn’t understand: “Since they sent it, why not accept it?”

Dawei: “Brother Wu, you can’t just exercise your limbs every day, you also have to exercise your brain.”

Zhou Wu clicked his tongue and asked his brother: “What does he mean?”

Zhou Wen: “He said that you have a simple mind but strong limbs.”

Zhou Wu immediately rolled up his sleeves and chased Dawei to beat him.

Dawei cried out, “It hurts, it hurts! Brother Wu, be gentle!”

After the children finished playing, Zhou Wu asked his brother, “Our mom Qiao is the kind of person who would do anything to please others, so why didn’t she accept the package?”

Zhou Wen rolled his eyes, “Mom Qiao has to have some dignity.”

Dawei nodded, “This package was given to me directly by that couple, I won’t accept it. If it was sent in the name of my great-grandfather, I would definitely accept it.”

After Dawei and Xiaoyong arrived on the island, they followed the way people around them called Qiao Yu and changed their name from “mother” to “mom”.

Zhou Wu: “What’s the difference?”

Zhou Wen rolled his eyes, “Just accept it and forgive the couple.”

Dawei nodded, “Mom wants the things, but she doesn’t want to recognize them.”

Zhou Wu: “So that’s how it is…”

“What are you talking about! Come and help! All of you, just chat! This family has to go without me!!”

Qiao Yu’s loud voice came from the kitchen, and the children rushed to the source of the sound.

After dinner, Qiao Yu returned to his room and counted on his fingers the days until he would report to school.

It’s almost there.

When the time comes, I will rent a single room close to the school, so I can eat secretly without having to go to the toilet…

I just don’t know if I can rent one. I heard that housing is tight in the city now, especially near the university town.

There were two knocks on the master bedroom door.

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, “Come in.”

It was indeed Old Zhou.

Whenever she was in the master bedroom, Lao Zhou would knock on the door before coming in, paying special attention to her privacy.

This touched Qiao Yu deeply.

Who wouldn’t be touched to have such a sensible “sister” living together?

Qiao Yu: “Have you finished your own business?”

Lao Zhou asked back: “I heard from the children that the couple in Beijing sent you something?”

Qiao Yu seemed to think of something disgusting and nodded, “I’ll send it back tomorrow and say a few words of criticism at the same time.”

Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable.

After all, there is postage to send it back.

Lao Zhou: “Okay, I’ll go down the island with you.”

“Why are you following me?”

“I have something to give you.”

“A gift? Can’t give it to you now?”

“Not now, it’s hidden in the city.”

Qiao Yu rubbed his hands, “Lao Zhou, you’re still the most caring one at home.”

Zhou Ze’an turned his head away, his voice low, and said “um” as a response.

Qiao Yu thought his reaction was a bit strange, but didn’t think much about it. She made the bed and then invited him warmly, “Come on, lie down and talk!”

“…”

Zhou Ze’an had just taken off his shoes and socks when she heard her say, “You’re so tall, and if you stand there, I have to tilt my head back to talk, and my neck will feel uncomfortable.”

Zhou Ze’an: “…”

The next day.

The children were left on the island and the couple left.

Qiao Yu got up early that day and wrote several pieces of abusive words, which were enough to make Zhang Fu and his wife feel upset before they set off.

There is a post office on the island, but it is being renovated recently, so it is inconvenient for her to call and send things, so she has to go off the island to send them back.

Along the way, Qiao Yu complained to Lao Zhou: “This couple is really full of trivial matters. They are sending things and talking about feelings now? What were they doing before? It’s because they saw that Qiao Baoer is a waste, and I have a promising future and did well in the college entrance examination, so they realized that they were blind…”

Lao Zhou listened silently, and responded with affirmative words such as “um” and “yes” from time to time to show that he was listening carefully and not absent-minded.

Qiao Yu’s mouth was dry from talking, so Lao Zhou took out the military water bottle from his waist and handed it to him.

Qiao Yu took it, unscrewed the lid and drank it; it was still hot.

Qiao Yu frowned: “It’s so hot, you should drink boiled water next time.”

“No.” Old Zhou rejected her for the first time, “You have a cold uterus.”

“Well, it’s an old problem, it’s nothing.”

“When you are a doctor in the future, you must first take care of your body.

” “Tsk, I didn’t expect you to be able to manage people.”

Others? He doesn’t care.

Only her.

As soon as the things were delivered, Qiao Yu stopped complaining and asked him, “Where is my gift? Where did you hide it?” “You

have to take the bus.”

“Oh…”

After finding the bus stop, Qiao Yu paid the bus fare. After all, she is the one in charge of the family’s finances.

After the ticket inspector asked them which station they wanted to get off at, Lao Zhou announced a station.

This place sounded familiar to Qiao Yu. After sitting for two stops, he finally realized, “This is near the university I applied for, right? What did you buy?”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

“Oh…”

Tsk, Lao Zhou is always keeping you in suspense.

Qiao Yu is very curious, but a strong woman never exposes her weaknesses.

She suppressed her curiosity.

After getting off the bus at the stop, Qiao Yu followed him and walked into the courtyard with many connections next to the university town.

When Old Zhou saw an old lady, he greeted her: “Grandma Wang, I brought the person here.”

Huh?

What the hell?

Does Old Zhou’s tone indicate he wants to sell her out? !

Just as Qiao Yu turned around to run, Grandma Wang looked at her, took out the key and invited her in.

“Come with me.”

Qiao Yu hesitated and followed.

If she was really sold out by Lao Zhou, then his military career would be over.

Grandma Wang opened the door of a single room, which seemed to have been vacant for a long time. Not only was there a distinct musty smell in the air, but there were also fungi growing in the corners of the room.

It’s so damp…

The room is only a dozen square meters and has only a wooden bed and a table.

The advantage is that the window is not high, but there is a wall not far away outside, and a ray of sunlight can just shine in through half of the window. Good concealment and ventilation.

After observing for a while, Qiao Yu understood what Lao Zhou meant.

Qiao Yu: “This, did you find it for me?”

Lao Zhou nodded, “I’ve asked around, the dormitories at the school you attend are all shared by more than a dozen people, and there’s not much privacy. You definitely won’t like it. It’s not easy to rent a house these days, and you have to find one close to the school. Otherwise, if it’s too far away, it’ll be no different from going to the island and going home every day. I searched for a long time before I found this single room. The price is a bit expensive, but I think you’ll like it.”

Qiao Yu stood on tiptoe, patted the other’s shoulder like a brother, and said with emotion: “Lao Zhou, I didn’t expect a big man like you to be so thoughtful and consider every aspect. Thank you! I like this gift very much.”

Qiao Yu happily gave Grandma Wang a year’s rent and borrowed tools to clean the little house.

Because the space is not large, it is quick to clean, and then the next issue is the walls.

Although the mushrooms have been cleaned, you still need to sprinkle some white ash to absorb excess moisture.

After all, she might live here for the next five years, and she also wanted to paint the walls white to make her life more comfortable. I also want to sell these wooden beds and wooden tables and replace them with new ones.
