Chapter 69

After eating, it was Zhou Wen’s turn to wash the dishes.

Knowing Zhou Wen’s speed, the other children quickly joined in washing dishes and waited to listen to the story.

Qiao Yu smiled and then told him about the second floor of the old man’s house. Terrazzo floor, refrigerator, shower…

After that, he mentioned Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City…

Afraid that the children’s imaginations were not enough, Qiao Yu finally took out the photos he had taken, “clang clang.”

Qiao Yu: “Look, I took pictures of everything and brought them to you. These are the buildings I was talking about, and this one is your great-grandfather and uncle.”

Great-grandfather? Uncle…

relatives from mother/aunt’s side, are they also their relatives?

Qiao Yu: “It’s a pity that Lao Zhou has to go on a mission, otherwise the New Year is coming soon, and I would have to take you with me to your great-grandfather’s house to celebrate the New Year!

Tsk, I can use your great-grandfather’s refrigerator to make you some cream popsicles, and there’s also a shower. You don’t even have to boil water to take a bath, it’s very convenient.”

The children felt longing after hearing this.

You passed that stack of photos to me and I passed it to you. Those who had seen them looked at them over and over again, for fear of missing any details.

Zhou Jun suddenly looked up and asked, “Aunt, is this a gift for us?”

Qiao Yu nodded, “Of course! Your great-grandfather also gave me a lot of money, so that our family can secretly eat good food in the future! Oh, by the way, he also gave me a Polaroid camera… When Old Zhou comes back, we’ll take a family photo!”

Polaroid camera?

Qiao Yu: “It’s the camera.”

The children’s faces turned red and they cheered excitedly.

After sharing the photos, the children returned to their rooms and couldn’t sleep.

On the second day, Zhou Wu, the most arrogant boy in the school, said: “Have you seen Tiananmen Square? Have you seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City? I have! Do you want to see them…”

As a result, the photos made Zhou Wu the leader of the gangsters in the school.

As for Zhou Jun, he was more reserved. When he heard a classmate coming to inquire about the photos, he nodded and said, “You can look at them, but I can’t lend them to you. Just stand next to my desk and look at them.”

No one else had any objection.

Zhou Wen was… silent and silent.

He himself hadn’t seen enough.

Don’t show it.

Arrived at Dawei.

Dawei: “Next time.”

The next time came. Dawei: “Maybe next time.”

There will always be next time.

…

Qiao Yu prepared the materials and started practicing questions without leaving home, preparing to take the college entrance examination next year after getting his high school diploma.

After half a year of care, she gained some weight back, and after a few months of inactivity, her face and figure finally returned to normal.

She used to be a thin beauty, but now she can be described as stunning.

It’s a pity that the most beautiful girl can talk.

It’s a pity that the stunning girl has a loud voice.

Her already fair skin became even more radiant, plump, and so transparent that it seemed unreal.

Before she knew it, the Chinese New Year was approaching and she had to buy some New Year’s goods, so she went out.

Once you go out, just standing in the wind gives you a sense of unreality.

When others wear coats, they look too strong if they are fat, and too thin if they are thin. Only she stands upright like a straight tree in the cold wind. Her back alone is very artistic and makes people look at her sideways…

Oh, the coat is made in Beijing, and the style and design are very new.

Not only coats, but also summer clothes, some of which are in the master bedroom closet, and some are left in the space.

“Girl, you…” Do you want a ride?

The second half of the sentence stops abruptly.

Xiao Zhao’s heart also stopped beating abruptly. Not only that, it almost stopped beating.

Qiao Yu was surprised to meet Xiao Zhao by chance, and opened her mouth in a loud voice: “Oh! It’s Xiao Zhao! Please give your sister-in-law a ride! Sorry to trouble you, Comrade Xiao Zhao!” Xiao

Zhao had a blank expression: “No trouble.”

Qiao Yu just opened the car door and got in, and saw two people in the back seat, Yang Hongxia and Bai Yu.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

The deputy seat’s wife looked familiar, but we didn’t talk much.

The car was too quiet.

Qiao Yu was feeling stuffy and wanted to open the window to get some fresh air, but then he noticed something was wrong. He looked in the direction of his sight and met Bai Yu’s face that looked at him with sympathy…

Hmm? ? ?

This Bai Lian sympathizes with her?

You must be sick.

Qiao Yu: “Comrade Bai Yu.”

“What’s wrong, Comrade Qiao?” Bai Yu quickly restrained his expression and said.

“Please be normal when you see me next time. Although I have raised five children, they are all sensible and do not need your sympathy.”

Bai Yu: …

She thought of Qiao Yu’s life experience, which was indeed much easier than her own.

No more words.

She looked out the window and reminisced about the past.

In his previous life, Zhou Tuan disappeared after going on a mission at this time.

How can she support three children by herself?

In the end, he was deserted by everyone.

Although it was immoral not to remind Qiao Yu, who was responsible for living too recklessly and getting at odds with him?

Who knows, she gave a well-intentioned reminder, but the other party might have thought she was cursing Zhou Tuan.

If you want to blame someone, just blame the other party for being too arrogant and offending a lot of people unintentionally.

Without Zhou Tuan, it would be Lu Hongjun who would have to ride the wind and waves.

…

In the 1960s, whether in the south or the north, making dumplings was a must during the Chinese New Year!

She had some frozen bacon at home, and she bought some seafood, planning to make a unique seafood dumpling.

While picking shrimps, she raised her head, while Bai Yu and the other person who were with her were busy with their own things.

Just don’t look for trouble.

Anyway, she beats one if there is one, and beats a pair if there are two.

After picking, return without delay.

…

Qiao Yu had just finished chopping the meat when he heard a young soldier running over in a hurry: “Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law Qiao!”

“I’m coming, what are you yelling about!” Qiao Yuyin also hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

Almost hit someone.

The young soldier gasped twice and whispered, “Sister-in-law… Zhou Tuan is dying, go and see him quickly, he wants to see you for the last time and tell you about his funeral arrangements…”

Zhou Ze’an held a high position on the island, and the death notice was kept confidential until it was confirmed. So no matter how anxious the young soldier was, he had to control his emotions and lower his voice.

Qiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

No wonder my eyelids have been twitching recently.

“Lead the way!” she said decisively.

She can run as fast as the little warrior.

After arriving at the military hospital, armed guards surrounded the area tightly, especially the entrance to the ward, which was strictly guarded.

The brigade commander came out tiredly, saw Qiao Yu, and said, “Are you here? Let’s go in together.”

Qiao Yu nodded heavily.

Zhou Ze’an, lying on the operating table, was barely breathing.

The brigade commander said at the side: “If the old Chinese doctor in the city were still here, he wouldn’t be like this.”

“Is there any hope?”

“With today’s Western medicine technology, we may not be able to use Chinese medicine.”

“Well, let me do it.”

“What?”

“I know Chinese medicine, I’ll do it.”

Zhou Ze’an slowly opened his eyelids, his long eyelashes drooped a little, a sign of being extremely tired. His eyes were not as energetic as when he first met her, but he was still looking at her hard and firmly…

“Comrade Qiao Yu.”

“I call you Lao Zhou, you should call me Xiao Yu.”

“…Xiao Yu.”

“What’s the matter?” She chatted with him while giving him acupuncture.

The most taboo during the treatment process is for the patient to give up on life, so she had to keep talking to him.

If he has something to explain, then we must not let him finish it now!

“Send Zhou Jun and the other two back… Don’t let them drag you down.”

Qiao Yu focused his eyes on the things at hand and said, “Old Zhou, your voice is too soft. Speak louder.”

Old Zhou forced himself to repeat it three times before he finished his instructions.

The strange thing is, after I said that, my body didn’t feel as heavy anymore?

Also, he seemed to see Qiao Yu busy with something?
