Chapter 29

After waking up from a nap, she had copied a lot of good things into the space. Among them, her favorites were five pounds of flour, a pound of coarse grains, and the double-pepper rabbit from the state-owned restaurant.

After checking the time on his watch, Qiao Yu got up and cooked.

What can we do with such good Fuqiang powder?

Make dumplings.

The smell of boiling dumplings is not strong, as long as the kitchen doors and windows are closed tightly, no smell will come out. But when making noodles with meat, the smell is too strong.

There is fresh wild boar meat in the space. Cut some fat and lean meat, chop it up and add a cabbage to season it.

After mixing the flour, let it rise for a while before wrapping the filling in it.

Close the doors and windows tightly and put the dumplings in boiling water.

Five pounds of flour can only make about 130 dumplings.

Xiaoyong was small and could not eat much, so he only had two or three to try. She put five of them into the black box and put the remaining one hundred and twenty or so into the bowl.

She only had to eat a few herself, and the remaining dumplings were spread out at the bottom of the children’s bowls, totaling twenty-three dumplings.

The dumplings are big, with thin skin and lots of stuffing. Oil is added when the stuffing is prepared, which is enough to fill the children.

When Zhou Jun came back with his brothers, he vaguely smelled something wrong in the yard.

Zhou Wu sniffed the dog’s nose hard, “Brother, I seem to smell the smell of dumplings?”

Zhou Jun’s face changed, and he quickly called his brothers in and closed the gate.

The voice of the aunt came from the kitchen: “Zhou Jun! Bring your brothers to the kitchen to help!”

As soon as Zhou Jun entered the kitchen, Qiao Yu looked at the front yard with a sneaky look, then looked at the wall yard, and closed the kitchen door tightly!

“Eat quickly!” she said in a low voice.

Zhou Wu saw the bowls of white ingot-like dumplings on the kitchen stove and almost cried.

“Why are you standing there? Eat quickly!” Qiao Yu patted Zhou Wu’s shoulder.

Even Xiaoyong was held in Qiao Yu’s arms, chewing a dumpling.

Zhou Wu tasted the meat inside and the flour taste of the dumpling skin…

I really cried.

Delicious, so delicious.

No one asked, just worked hard.

After finishing the work, Qiao Yu explained to the eldest brother, “I went to the city yesterday. It was a coincidence. I asked an old lady for directions and ran into someone selling flour, coarse grains and wild boar meat in that area.”

“Aunt, did you buy it with money?”

Qiao Yu: “It was bought with food money. His family probably needed it urgently. The wild boar meat was probably hunted by someone inside…”

Zhou Jun understood.

The people inside, the piece——

It’s the black market.

The other children were also listening, but didn’t say anything.

Before going to class in the afternoon, the children washed themselves thoroughly to avoid being smelled by their classmates.

Slug came and linked arms with Zhou Wu.

As soon as their shoulders touched, they smelled something different: “What do you smell like? It seems like meat? Dumplings? Cabbage and pork filling?”

Otherwise, why do people in this era say that people have a keen sense of smell?

They all walked around the house for a while and washed up, but they could still smell a little bit of the odor.

Zhou Wu pushed the slug away awkwardly, “No, you smelled it wrong.”

Zhou Wen glanced at the slug and said, “Aunt has only been on the island for a few days. She cooks meat for us every day? Where does she get so much meat? Slug, I’m afraid you want to eat meat yourself, right? You’re hallucinating.”

Zhou Wu nodded, “Go check your nose.”

Slug hung his head, “All the money from my family has been sent back home, and I’m almost losing the taste of bird in my mouth.”

But he didn’t mention the smell of meat on them.

Qiao Yu went to a literacy class in the afternoon.

There are very few people in the literacy class, most of whom are soldiers who are not on duty. If they want to move up, they have to learn more knowledge. Even if they are transferred to civilian jobs in the future, it will be easier to find a job with some knowledge.

The military wife who came to the literacy class?

She is the only military wife.

Several soldiers looked at her curiously, and when the teacher coughed, they focused on the blackboard again.

Literacy classes mainly teach people to read. A few words are assigned every day, and students are encouraged to recognize as many as they can.

Qiao Yu listened for a while and returned home before cooking.

The dinner was simple, yesterday’s raw marinated shrimp and a pot of multi-grain porridge. The multi-grain porridge was mixed with sweet potatoes and whole grains, and you could eat it after mixing it.

…

Qiao Yu adapted to the island very quickly. Everything was arranged well at home, and he was also busy outside. Because of the good nutrition, he finally gained some weight on his face in a month.

Qiao Yu’s skin is natural, and the more she sunbathes, the whiter it gets. Plus, her facial features are delicate. How can she look like someone from the countryside? Or a second-married military wife? If she were told that she was a girl waiting to be married who lives in a big city and eats commercial grain, people would believe it.

She doesn’t look like Zhou Jun and his friends’ stepmother, but more like a sister.

The soldiers who didn’t know Qiao Yu blushed when they saw her and asked around for information about her. When they found out that it was Zhou Tuan’s fierce second wife, they immediately knocked Yang Hongxia and Zhang Cuihua down…

I immediately shrank my head and was at a loss for ideas.

Qiao Yu adapted to life on the island and was called to the office by the director of the Women’s Federation. She was asked when she would go to Beijing to see Mr. Zhang.

Qiao Yu: “Let’s wait until Old Zhou comes back. We can’t just leave the kids here and let them fend for themselves, right? Besides, I don’t know how long it will take me to come back from my trip to the capital.”

“That’s true.”

Seeing that the director of the Women’s Federation still had something to say, Qiao Yu took the initiative to say, “Director, if you have anything to say, just tell me! I’m so comfortable here,Isn’t it your credit? It just so happens that I was born by a father but not raised by a mother. You are no different from my adoptive parents! You…”

“Okay, okay, stop talking. I get it.”

Qiao Yu pretended to be confused: “What’s wrong, Director? I…”

“Stop!” The director of the Women’s Federation realized that although this girl was young, she was not a good person at all.

She hasn’t said anything yet, but the other party has already brought up the topic of “having a father but no mother to raise her”. Isn’t this just some hearsay?

Qiao Yu did hear the rumor.

The grain allocated to the island was transported from the capital by armed officers.

There was a food shortage throughout the country. If food was transported by train, it would definitely be stopped when passing through a province or city. It would be more convenient if an officer from the capital came to lead the team with approval documents.

Coincidentally, the officer’s surname was Zhang.

Considering how other people in the military compound on the island treated her strangely, what else was there for Qiao Yu to not understand?

Any pig could guess it.

He should be the original owner’s elder brother.

The original owner had two brothers, one was a military officer in the capital, and the other was doing academic research somewhere that even Mr. Zhang didn’t know.

The eldest brother’s name seems to be Zhang Zhan?

The director of the Women’s Federation asked her to come, and she probably thought it was Mr. Zhang’s idea.

Qiao Yu didn’t want to acknowledge her relatives at all, especially after the original owner’s parents’ actions. If there was no profit to be made from Mr. Zhang, she wouldn’t even like him.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, “Director, do you have any other questions?”

“Qiao Yu you…”

Qiao Yu was a little impatient, “Director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first.”

As soon as I walked out of the director’s office of the Women’s Federation, a thin and tall figure came towards me. The other person had a stern face and was somewhat similar to the original owner.

The other party was a little surprised to see him.

It doesn’t look like acting.

have to.

What a coincidence.

Even a pig could guess that this was a setup by the director of the Women’s Federation.

The director of the Women’s Federation who had chased after them turned pale and blue when she saw Zhang Zhan.

Maybe she felt that this game was too fake, so she secretly exposed it and then ran into this big brother. That’s why she looks so weird?

When Qiao Yu was looking at Zhang Zhan, the other party was also looking at him.

After a long while, Zhang Zhan asked, “Can I have a word with you?”

This time, Qiao Yu did not refuse.
