n600 Thinking About It

n“I don’t get to see him usually. He often goes out for exercises and walks. He looks quite good and should be in good health,” Qiao Mei said as she racked her memories.

n“Is this all you have encountered in the capital? Don’t you have anything else to tell me?” Qiao Qiang stared at Qiao Mei and asked seriously.

nIt seemed that she could not hide anything from her grandfather. He could see right through her immediately.

nQiao Mei told Qiao Qiang everything that had happened and all the people she had met in the capital, but she did not mention the matter about the He family wanting to harm her children. She was afraid that her grandfather would be worried if he found out. After all, she was fine now, so there was no need to tell him about this.

nQiao Qiang had expected those difficult issues that happened between relatives, but he just felt a little emotional to hear that Xia Jun’s grandchildren were all grown up now. The person who left the deepest impression on him was Xia Wen. This child was handsome and was cut out to be a soldier. It was a pity that he fell sick later, which cut his army career short. However, based on what Qiao Mei said, he seemed to be doing well as a university professor now.

n“Go and pack the things you want to give your Uncle Hu. I have prepared a chicken, it’s in the backyard. Pack it up too. Don’t tell him it’s from me.” After saying that, Qiao Qiang lay on the brick bed with his back facing Qiao Mei and listened to the news on the radio.

nThe old master’s bark was worse than his bite! He was still full of concern for Chen Hu.

nChen Hu and Qiao Yue were both his men in the army when they were young. The two of them were like twins who were inseparable. Chen Hu was like half a son to him.

nQiao Mei took a bag and filled it with a few jars of cucumbers and pickles from the storeroom, then some jam and raisins. Finally, she placed the chicken on top. After she was done, she carried the bag to Li Gui’s house.

nAt this moment, Chen Hu was training Zhang Wei in the courtyard. Zhang Chao hid at the side and watched silently. He was not as passionate about being a soldier as Zhang Wei. He preferred to create things.

nRecently, Qiao Mei had realized that when Zhang Chao did not want to talk to anyone, he would hide in a corner of the storeroom to make things. He made many novel things, most of which were made out of waste materials at home.

nIf she nurtured him well, he might become a builder or scientist in the future!

n“Steady your horse stance! Be in the right posture! You have to train your core strength!” Chen Hu gently corrected Zhang Wei’s mistakes using a bamboo stick.

nZhang Wei was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but he did not dare to relax for even a moment. It was rare for Chen Hu to come by, so he must perform well and not disappoint Chen Hu.

n“Uncle Hu, all of you should take a rest. Look at my brother, he’s so tired that his clothes are drenched. I already called Xiaobei just now and he’ll probably be here to pick you up in a while,” Qiao Mei said.

nChen Hu looked at his watch and was shocked.

n“Oh my! It’s already so late! If I don’t go back soon, your auntie will scold me!” Chen Hu said in frustration.

n“Will my auntie really scold you! She’s so gentle, I don’t think she will…” After saying that, Qiao Mei walked forward and handed the bag in her hand to Chen Hu.

nChen Hu immediately saw the chicken. The chickens sold outside were all thin and not meaty at all. No one was willing to feed the chickens too much food.

nThe chicken in the bag was fresh and plump, and it was obvious that it was well-fed. How could he accept such a valuable gift?

n“Mei Mei, what is this! Just give me a few jars of pickled vegetables! Forget about this!” Chen Hu said as he pushed it back.

nQiao Mei smiled and said, “I’m not the one giving it to you…”

n“If it’s not you, then what else can it be…” Chen Hu suddenly froze on the spot.

nIf not Qiao Mei… If it was not Qiao Mei, who else could it be?

nIt must be Qiao Qiang!

nIt seemed that Qiao Qiang still cared about him and did not bear a grudge against him because of the issue with the Liang family.

n“Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei!”

nZhao Liang’s shout came from the door. It was Qiao Mei who had asked him to come and help. She did not want Xiaobei to drive into the village. All their vehicles were military vehicles and it would cause a commotion if the villagers saw them. Therefore, she asked Zhao Liang to come and send Chen Hu to the entrance of the village where Xiaobei was waiting with the vehicle to send him back.

n“Uncle Hu, I’ll go to the county city to look for you when I’m free!” Qiao Mei said.

n“Go back! When you’re free, come over and I’ll get your auntie to cook delicious food for you! You must try your auntie’s cooking!” Chen Hu said as he waved at Qiao Mei.
