Chapter 67

Meng Jianjun took Zhang Baoer to change their surnames.

The couple still wanted to stay in the city as vagrants, but how could Qiao Yu, who was in the dark, agree?

She sent people to keep an eye on things secretly and report to the street office at a certain time.

The couple got in the car and went to Meng Jianjun’s hometown.

…

While Qiao Yu was collecting the chess pieces, he asked casually, “Grandpa, how are you going to treat Zhang Fu and his wife?”

“As for them…the temporary workers are for their own good. If they live too luxuriously, they’ll easily be caught.”

Qiao Yu glanced at Grandpa Zhang and understood immediately.

In a few years, it will be a turbulent era. In fact, there have been signs of this in the past few years. It’s just that everyone’s focus is on the famine. When people can’t even get enough food to eat, how can they still pay attention to other things?

Qiao Yu straightened her face and said, “Do you need my help, Grandpa?”

Old Man Zhang also met her gaze.

After a moment, he burst into laughter: “Hahaha! You are worthy of being my, Zhang Hu’s granddaughter!”

Qiao Yu:…

After laughing enough, Old Man Zhang: “No need. How long have you been a member of the Zhang family? Live your own life well.”

Qiao Yu nodded, “Okay.”

If something really happened to the old man, she would not sit idly by.

Old Master Zhang brought up the subject again: “All the adopted granddaughters have changed their surnames back to Qiao, did you do the same?”

Qiao Yu to Zhang Yu?

The corner of Qiao Yu’s eye twitched and she said, “Grandpa, Zhang Yu is not as nice as Qiao Yu.”

Old Man Zhang met her gaze.

Qiao Yu’s eyes were clear and open, and she allowed him to look at her.

Old Master Zhang knew in his heart that the child was not lying and she really thought that calling Qiao Yu sounded better than calling her Zhang Yu…

He had just adopted his granddaughter and didn’t want to suppress her by acting like an elder, so he didn’t mention the matter again.

The other side.

Qiao Yaozu is far away on the farm.

After finishing a day’s work, I was so tired that I lay down on a wooden board and couldn’t move.

He was sent to a farm in the Great Northern Wilderness. Other members of the commune and the construction corps had time to rest, but people like them did not. They were guarded very strictly. Although they worked more than the full work points, they ate less than dogs.

Soon, Qiao Yaozu fell into depression.

He had no time to reflect on his own stupid behavior.

Obviously he doesn’t need to do anything and can still have food to eat following Qiao Baoer, but at this point…

he hasn’t given her up yet!

As a result, he didn’t write to Qiao Baoer, and the other party seemed to “forget” to write to him.

He gritted his teeth, “Bitch!!”

“Who is Qiao Yaozu? Someone is here to see you.”

See him? who?

He and his parents were not sent down together, which shouldn’t have happened…

He saw a strange face.

The other person looked at him and said, “Someone asked me to give you a message.”

“What message?”

“Your sister is getting married.”

“Oh.”

He didn’t care who Qiao Baoer married, as long as the hush money was paid.

Marrying a man in his seventies or eighties has nothing to do with him.

The man continued, “She married a temporary worker, but that temporary worker lost his job for gambling, and their household registration was moved to the production team.”

Qiao Yaozu’s face gradually cracked.

He asked hurriedly: “What about the Zhang family? Didn’t the Zhang family care about her?”

“The Zhang family broke up with her, and she changed her surname back to Qiao.”

“How is that possible!”

Qiao Baoer might as well marry an old man!

“This is her current address. Please send your letters here from now on.”

Qiao Yaozu reacted after taking it.

He clenched the paper in his hand and looked at the man warily: “Who are you? Why are you helping me…Qiao Yu sent you?!”

The Zhang family and Qiao Baoer have had a relationship for more than ten years. After the relationship was torn apart, the Zhang family’s upbringing would not add insult to injury.

Therefore, the only one who wants to make Qiao Baoer unhappy is Qiao Yu.

He thought again of the note he left before leaving his hometown.

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

The fact that he was imprisoned here and Qiao Baoer’s current fate were all caused by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu wants to take revenge on everyone in the Qiao family!

It’s ridiculous that he still wants that idiot Qiao Baoer to help him…

Does Qiao Baoer have the ability now?

After Qiao Yu was recognized by the Zhang family, what could the Qiao family use to fight against Qiao Yu?

“You are quite smart.” The man said this and left.

Qiao Yaozu slumped to the ground, his eyes blank for a while, then looked at the sagging skin on his abdomen…

That was evidence that he had been fat since childhood and had not recovered after losing weight in a short period of time.

It’s really ugly.

After Qiao Yu got married, she probably wasn’t happy, and she was abandoned by the Zhang family. Could he expect to rely on her in the future?

He couldn’t wait for the reply to the first letter, and the second letter was sent to the new address.

The content of the second letter was nothing more than a severance of relations, forcing Qiao Baoer to send more money this time to buy out future contacts.

He was afraid that he would not be able to get any money out of Qiao Baoer in the future!

When Qiao Baoer received the first letter, she had not moved yet. She dug out her own pocket money and sent five dollars.

After arriving at Meng Jianjun’s hometown, she received the second letter from his younger brother a month after working in the fields…

She wiped away her tears, kept only five dollars, and sent the rest.

Every package and letter on the farm has to go through layers of exploitation before reaching the recipient. This was something that Qiao Yaozu, who had just arrived, didn’t know.

After getting to know each other, Qiao Yaozu looked at the one dollar in his hand and

started cursing in his heart.

In particular, Qiao Baoer mentioned in the letter that she had sent nearly thirty yuan.

In the letter, Qiao Baoer expressed her grievances and helplessness. Qiao Yaozu was a man who didn’t look at anything but only looked at the nearly thirty yuan…

He was more capitalist than a capitalist!

…

After dealing with the aftermath of the Qiao siblings, Qiao Yu traveled around various places in Beijing.

To be honest, there is nothing much to see. Compared with the skyscrapers of later generations, Beijing has more bicycles than other cities, but very few vehicles.

However, this situation also avoids traffic jams.

However, the ancient buildings are worth her visit. She also brought Mr. Zhang’s Polaroid camera with her to take photos everywhere.

After playing for two months, she set off back to the island after Lao Zhou sent a telegram.

Lao Zhou is going on a mission.

Why.

Mr. Zhang asked someone to buy a sleeper berth for Qiao Yu on the return trip. Seeing that she liked taking photos and was quite good at it, he gave her a Polaroid camera.

“Come back often if you have nothing to do.”

“Yes.”

“Will you come during the Chinese New Year?”

“…” Qiao Yu didn’t want to talk as there were only a few months left until the Chinese New Year.

Mr. Zhang also said: “You always say that those children are well-behaved, why don’t you bring them here for the New Year?”

“Let’s talk about it later.”

Five children!

No matter how well-behaved and obedient they were, she couldn’t take care of them all by herself, especially during the New Year when there were many human traffickers.

If Lao Zhou had not been on a mission, she would have accepted it immediately.

She didn’t meet anyone to talk to on the return train, so she slept the whole way.

After getting off the train, she went to the bathroom and came out with a lot of bags.

I caught the last bus to the beach, but missed the last boat.

There was no choice but to go to a nearby hotel with the letter of introduction.

“Hello, comrade. I’d like to stay for one night.”

“Letter of introduction.”

“Here.”

After reading the letter of introduction, she paid the money and checked in.

Maybe it was because I slept too long on the train that I tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep at night.

She sat with the window open for a while, smelling the long-lost sea breeze. The familiar faces of several children appeared in her mind one by one, and she felt sleepy instead.

She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Wake up…well, dry up the silence.
