Chapter 24

Qiao Yu used the hoe as a support, leaning his body comfortably, and raised his voice to suppress Yang Hongxia’s screams: “Yes! Louder! Call all the comrades around! Listen to your feudal speech, Auntie!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Yang Hongxia screamed in response.

Qiao Yu: “It’s God again, and it’s lightning that killed him! If this isn’t feudal thinking, what is it? Now is the era of materialism, we must believe in science! We must embrace science! But you keep doing it again and again, Auntie!”

“Stop! What do you want?” Yang Hongxia’s eyes twitched violently.

Qiao Yu scratched his ears and said, “Apologize! Apologize to me! Apologize to the people! Apologize to the new era of thought and consciousness! Say that you will make progress and actively correct yourself! Stay true to yourself!”

“…I, I…” Yang Hongxia’s face turned red because of holding back.

Qiao Yu narrowed her eyes, “Auntie, you can’t say it? Do you feel from the bottom of your heart that…”

Yang Hongxia quickly said: “I apologize to you! I apologize to the people! I apologize to the new era of thought and consciousness! I will make progress and actively correct myself! I will abide by myself! That’s it!”

Qiao Yu nodded: “Okay!”

Yang Hongxia gnashed her teeth in hatred: “It’s your turn! You destroyed my seed! Tell me what to do!”

Qiao Yu sighed: “So it was you who helped us plant the land, I was just saying I would come and plant seeds… Thank you, Auntie!”

“I didn’t help you! Those were the seeds I bought, and I saved them for our own consumption!”

“Oh, but the land belongs to our Zhou family. Do you want to learn from the landlords and seize other people’s land?”

“I don’t!”

“No…thank you so much for helping me with the farming.” Qiao Yu smiled like a successful fox.

Yang Hongxia gritted her teeth, wondering whether she should come at night to destroy the seeds on this land, or wait until the crops are ripe and then steal them herself?

Qiao Yu seemed to see through Yang Hongxia’s thoughts and said, “Auntie, don’t think too much. If I lose a penny from my land, I will pick the crops from your land when they are ripe!”

“Why!”

“Why? Because I only have a grudge against you now. If it weren’t for you destroying my land and not letting me eat, who else would be disgusting? I’m not living well, so of course I won’t let you live well either. If you report the matter to the director of the Women’s Federation, it’s because you imitated the landlords and occupied my private land first! You were the first to be unreasonable! Justice always stands on the side of fairness!”

Yang Hongxia cursed in her heart, and only after Qiao Yu left with the hoe did she curse out loud: “Bitch! You deserve to be replaced! You deserve to stay in the countryside for more than ten years! Why don’t you stay in the countryside for the rest of your life! Why don’t you be tortured to death by your adoptive parents!

You are an ungrateful bastard! Your adoptive parents raised you up, and you sued them and put them in jail! How could you be so capable! Someone like you will get into trouble sooner or later! You will implicate Zhou Tuan! You are a scourge! You are a troublemaker! ! “

The second half of the sentence suddenly changed. When Yang Hongxia saw someone coming, her unreasonable and cruel words turned into a rebuke to Qiao Yu.

Hearing Yang Hongxia’s scolding, some military wives came forward to gossip: “What’s going on? The one in Zhou Tuan’s family now even sent the parents who raised her to jail?”

“That’s right! I have a relative who lives near that production team. I asked someone to find out about her and found out about her character. How dare she be so arrogant in the army? She will get her comeuppance sooner or later! And Zhou Tuan will be implicated! Then Zhou Tuan will definitely regret marrying her!”

“I heard that her adoptive parents deliberately took her away by mistake and tortured her for more than ten years…”

Yang Hongxia immediately brought up Zhang Cuihua, “That’s what she said herself. How credible can her words be? Cuihua was there at the time, right? Cuihua? She was the only one talking about herself at the time. She must have embellished her actions!”

Zhang Cuihua: “…” To be honest, I don’t really want to get involved.

For the first time in her life, she suffered a severe setback because of Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu looked young, but he spoke eloquently and was fierce in fighting.

She can’t afford to offend him.

…

After Qiao Yu returned home, he prepared to cook something for visiting friends and relatives.

Just use the sweet potatoes at home.

The sweet potato has a white core, not to mention being chewy, not sweet and burning, nothing like the improved varieties of later generations…

It doesn’t matter, if it’s not sweet enough, you can add some sugar.

Peel the sweet potatoes and steam them directly in the pot.

Don’t waste the sweet potato skins, save them for the kids to eat at night.

Put the steamed sweet potatoes in a bowl and mash them into a paste with a spoon. Add sugar and milk powder to keep the sweetness and milk flavor.

Sweet potato flour alone was not enough to set the cake, so she added some rice flour and water to it and kneaded it into shape. It was a pity that she had never seen white flour or refined rice since she came here, otherwise it would be better to use white flour instead of rice flour.

After being shaped, it is steamed in a pot before being packed in an aluminum lunch box.

She made so much that she kept seven and put the rest in aluminum lunch boxes.

Six were for her and the children, and one was put into the black box in space.

Get ready and go visit!

The first door to be visited was Wang Zhaodi’s.

Knock knock knock.

“Is Sister Wang here? I’m Qiao Yu!”

Wang Zhaodi opened the door and was a little surprised to see Qiao Yu, “Sister Qiao?”

“Sister Wang, please make room for the sweet potato cakes I made. I just moved into the compound and I still need your care. This is a welcome gift. You can try it later to see if you like it.”

“Yeah, okay.”

People these days have a very keen sense of smell. Wang Zhaodi smelled a rich milky aroma and sweetness from the sweet potato cakes. She was sure it was something good, and ran to the kitchen quickly.

When he came back, he picked up a large cabbage and handed it to her, “Sister Qiao, take it and eat it. Don’t be polite to your sister-in-law.”

“Yeah. My family is in need of fresh vegetables. Thank you, Sister Wang. I won’t say much. I still have to go to the director of the Women’s Federation to discuss the private plot.”

“Okay, then I won’t send you off.”

After closing the gate, Wang Zhaodi took a small bite of the sweet potato cake. A sweet and milky aroma really spread in her mouth, which aroused her appetite!

By the time you react, a piece of sweet potato cake has been eaten?

Why can’t she control her mouth!

I fanned myself lightly, and was thankful that my mother-in-law and the children were not at home. There was one sweet potato cake missing from the plate… and no one noticed.

The director of the Women’s Federation was sitting in the office at the moment. When she saw Qiao Yu coming, she poured her a cup of hot water.

“Why are you here? Are you not used to something?”

“I made sweet potato pancakes. Thank you for taking care of me, Director.”

“No need, I still have to give your grandfather some face…”

“Grandpa is grandpa, I am me, Director, please don’t be polite to me! Take it!”

Qiao Yu is very familiar with the ways of the world here.

Grandpa asked the director to look after her. That is the friendship between grandpa and the director. If she wants to establish a friendship with the director, she has to take the initiative so that the relationship can be established.

If you just blindly accept other people’s kindness…

Oh, people only treat her as the leader’s granddaughter. When the leader dies, what do they recognize you for? They are not your parents, why should they treat you well in every way?

“Okay, then I won’t be polite with you. I’ll ask the kid at home to return the aluminum lunch box to you later.”

“Okay, Director. By the way, Director, I also want to ask about the private plots this time.”

“Private plot? What’s that?”
