Chapter 38

Everyone saw another figure chasing after them.

Qiao Yu was tall even in the famine-stricken north, with a body of golden proportions, and naturally long legs. In addition, due to years of hard work by the original owner, he was very strong and could run fast.

With overwhelming force, he pounced on the thief’s back!

The other party let out an “ah”, and then, with a “plop”, the thief ate a mouthful of dust.

Just as he was about to stand up and fight back, Qiao Yu dislocated the opponent’s arm with both hands.

The creaking sound made the onlookers’ scalps tingle.

When Qiao Yu heard the thief’s wailing, she hit him on the head a few times.

The hit on the person’s head made a loud bang!

The thief ran into the King of Hell and was extremely unlucky.

One of his teeth was missing and his mouth was full of blood.

Not to mention that he had any reaction, he didn’t even faint on the spot. That’s all because the thief has strong physique.

Seeing several police officers in uniforms approaching, Qiao Yu stopped bullying the thief, stood up, and spat at the back of his head: “You don’t have a brain! Do you think everyone is easy to bully? You are unlucky to have run into me!”

Clap, clap, clap.

There was continuous applause all around.

Qiao Yucai shouted embarrassedly: “It’s all for the service of the people!!”

Why are you embarrassed?

Oh, she didn’t intend to be a hero, it was the thief who was blind and bumped into her. She couldn’t swallow this.

Like a victorious rooster, she returned to her starting position amid applause, only to find that the buyer had already run away, and a strange yet familiar tall figure was guarding her backpack.

Wearing a military uniform, his back was like a pine tree, his temperament was upright, and he stood tall there, standing out from the crowd. Ordinary people became the background board in a fast-forwarded movie, but he was in slow motion, slowly turning around and meeting her gaze.

This glance is a glance that lasts for a thousand years.

…

The things in that backpack are all carried by Old Zhou…well, Zhou Ze’an.

Half a year later, she saw her cheap husband again and almost didn’t recognize him.

Her back view and temperament are pretty, but her face is really unkempt.

It’s not that she’s ugly.

On the contrary, the man had deep eyes, sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and even his lips…

Cough cough.

It was that face that was so sloppy, with scum covering half of it, and his handsome appearance was obscured by this slovenliness.

Qiao Yu was a tough guy, and after confirming that the sloppy man was Lao Zhou, he gave an order: “Carry it, go home!”

Zhou Zean: …

Just do it silently.

After walking two steps, Qiao Yu finally reacted and asked again: “Are you busy with other things? Are you going somewhere else? Do you have any mission?”

Zhou Ze’an shook his head.

Only then did Qiao Yu feel relieved.

Along the way, Qiao Yu realized that Comrade Zhou was a quiet person, so the way they interacted was that she was the one doing the talking and he would occasionally reply with a few words.

She mentioned the current situation of her five children and how she now has a junior high school diploma and hopes to get a high school diploma based on her ability.

The land at home, the chickens, etc.

After landing on the island, Qiao Yu felt dry mouth and tongue.

Zhou Ze’an heard her sudden pause, glanced at her cracked lips, took off the military pot from his waist and handed it to her.

After Qiao Yu took it, he said casually: “Thank you.”

After saying that, he poured water through the spout of the military canteen.

The water is warm and the insulation effect seems to be good.

When he was no longer thirsty, Qiao Yu looked at the military kettle and said, “How many of these do you have? There is only one military kettle at home, but there are three beds. The wind is strong at the seaside, so I plan to get two more and fill them with hot water to warm the bed before going to bed. It’s a pity that I have no way to get one.”

Zhou Ze’an finally said the longest sentence since they met: “I’ll do it.”

Qiao Yu smiled and said, “Okay, thanks. I’ll give you the money later.”

…why do I need her money?

Arriving at the compound, many people were surprised to see Zhou Ze’an and Qiao Yu walking together. After the surprise, they greeted each other warmly.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard where I live…

The area in front of the door was swept clean.

After entering, there were vegetables such as ginger, garlic and onions planted in the front yard, as well as two chickens.

The chickens were fed with corn cores from Qiao Yu’s space, and were already laying eggs. Every time Qiao Yu went to touch them, he would find four eggs from the buttocks of the two chickens.

The director of the Women’s Federation caught five chicks and only raised two of them. Fortunately, it met the target for each family, otherwise the extra ones would have to be sold off.

These are what Qiao Yu said to Zhou Ze’an after arriving at the compound.

The household items were neatly arranged, and the floor and table were spotless.

Zhou Ze’an just thought that this woman was very skillful when she found a dusty razor and a set of toiletries and threw them into the enamel basin. She handed it to him and said, “Oh, by the way, Old Zhou, the military kid is busy with the housework and laundry. Of course, I don’t let him work in vain. I give him money every month and let him keep it himself. I don’t ask how he spends it. The children in the family take turns washing the dishes.”

By the way, he also mentioned the fact that Xiaoyong was taken to school by Zhou Jun.

Old Zhou…

The man stroked his chin, said “hmm”, took the enamel basin and walked towards the faucet.

Next to the faucet, there is a wooden rack with many enamel basins on it, each with toiletries in it. Words were carved on the enamel basins with a knife.

Jun, Wen, Wu, Wei, Yong, Yu…

week Ze’an looked at his enamel basin, which was smooth and flawless.

Qiao Yu followed his gaze.

All these enamel basins and toiletries were his own achievements! They were obtained by using the food copied from space!

Qiao Yu made up a story: “It’s a hygiene issue. It’s better for everyone to keep their things separate. I just happened to be recognized as a relative. My grandfather and eldest brother are good people. They send a lot of things and money every month. I decided to buy these for the children.”

Zhou Ze’an said nothing.

After all, I was brushing my teeth and my mouth was full of foam.

Qiao Yu looked at——

He is too careless about brushing his teeth.

Other people brush their teeth very gently, for fear of hurting their gums or causing bleeding. But he is different. He makes a lot of noise, as if he is brushing pig bristles.

Qiao Yu reasonably suspected that before long, the bristles of his toothbrush would collapse everywhere like trampled lawn.

But she didn’t stop it or say anything.

We are all adults now. Can we change the habits we have developed over decades?

When she sees the kids brushing their teeth incorrectly, she will point it out right away and ask them to correct it. Comrade Zhou…

Turn a blind eye.

The man spat, rinsed his mouth with water, then applied soap on his chin, applying several thin layers. He rubbed out foam with his hands before shaving with a razor.

After shaving, the man said, “You are the boss at home.”

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried about marrying a man who never came home for years and who kept complaining when he did.

By this calculation, the other person is a perfect marriage partner.

She doesn’t go home, doesn’t make trouble, and even if you give her money, she doesn’t have to have children, let alone a sex life.

Perfect, so perfect.

“Okay. Oh, by the way, how long will you stay this time?”

“Two months.”

Qiao Yu: “Enough, enough, enough.”

Seeing this, the man asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m waiting for you to come back!”

The man’s body stiffened slightly, and he heard the woman’s small mouth opening and closing, and then she said, “I still have to go to the capital to get my grandmother’s dowry. Before you were not at home, there was no one to take care of the children. Now that you are back, I have time to spare.”

Zhou Ze’an thought about it, nodded, and said, “Of course, you can, but before you leave, you have to treat your comrades to a meal.”
