The Age of Rebirth: Being spoiled and crying after marrying a retired veteran

Chapter 124 So Expensive
He said that he would go to the accountant tomorrow to get the money and he would get it tomorrow.

Zhou Xiaoyuan returned to the car, hugged Qiao Youyou, and squeezed into the car at the back. Shi Ye followed Zhao Qingju's instructions and drove the car outside her home.

The location of her home is relatively remote, in the north of the city, where the road is quite wide and can park trucks.

There are sparse bungalows here.

Zhao Qingju's mother lived alone at home and was startled when she heard the knock on the door. Fortunately, Zhao Qingju spoke up in time, explained the reason for her return at this time, and introduced Zhou Xiaoyuan and Qiao You to Zhao Qingju. mother.

Mother Zhao has a round, gentle face, but years of fatigue make her look much older than her peers.

When she heard that her daughter was being helped, she quickly entertained the three of them.

"Boy, little girl, come in quickly."

"Qingju, go to the kitchen to cook some sugar water and noodles."

"Mom, I'm going right now."

Qiao sat in the old and low bungalow hall again. She didn't drink sugar water. She was full in the car. Instead, she filled the kettle with boiled water for easy drinking on the road.

Zhou Xiaoyuan silently finished the sugar water.

After a while, Zhao Qingju and Zhao's mother came over with noodles.

Shi Ye was a little embarrassed, but he was really hungry. He was urged by Zhao's mother and he took a mouthful of noodles with a chopstick. Unexpectedly, there was a poached egg underneath.

"This... Aunt Zhao, you are too polite, there are still eggs, I..."

"You should, eat slowly."

Aunt Zhao and Zhao Qingju insisted on this, not to mention that they had already eaten. Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded and let him eat in peace. After dinner, he made an appointment with Zhao Qingju to meet at the guest house tomorrow. Seeing that it was getting late, he took them Take Qiao Youyou and Shi Ye to the guest house.

The night teller at the guest house is dozing off.

When Zhou Xiaoyuan and the others arrived, they took out the letter of introduction, plus their veteran's certificate and marriage certificate. When the originally impatient teller looked at the certificates, he immediately changed his temper and offered two rooms to them.

"Xiao Yao, you sit down for a while, I'll get some hot water to soak your feet." Even if the conditions are not very permitting, Zhou Xiaoyuan still does everything meticulously.

Shi Ye walked into the room a long time ago. He didn't even take off his clothes and fell asleep while lying down.

The guest house was not very soundproof, and soon Qiao heard the sounds of snoring and small conversations in other rooms.

She looked at the room. It was not big, with a single bed, a table opposite, portraits of great men and calendars on the wall.

Qiao thought again that she would stay in the guest house for several days, so she simply changed all the sheets. This time she brought a change of sheets with her when she went out.

Zhou Xiaoyuan came back with a warm kettle.

"Brother Yuan, is there enough hot water?"

"That's enough, you just have to charge money, one yuan a pot."

Qiao was speechless again: "This is too expensive."

She originally wanted to wipe her body, but it was too hot to go out in the summer, and it was even hotter in the car. Now that she saw how expensive it was to get a pot of hot water, she was reluctant to use it.

I don’t know how much it will cost to come here this time.

"No matter how expensive it is, you have to use it." Zhou Xiaoyuan poured the water for her directly: "Xiao Yao, you use it first."

As he spoke, he took out a simple curtain made of sheets from his bag and hung it in the room, forming a simple compartment where he could take a bath and wipe his body.

Qiao was not hypocritical, she went to wipe her body with hot water, and when she came out, she saw Zhou Xiaoyuan was washing the skirt she was wearing with cold water.

It is being hung up to dry on the newly built crossbar near the window.
