Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 136 Troublemaker

The other party seemed to be afraid that Tang Qiyue would think he was a profiteer, so instead of taking any money, he brought some things for Tang Qiyue to choose from.

Tang Qiyue didn't have much dried fish in her hand. When she saw that the child the man brought was indeed not very big, she gave half of it to the child.

Naturally, she didn't have a chaste heart and didn't ask for anything in return. Instead, when she saw that the man had taken out a few pancakes, she took them.

"How can this be so embarrassing? This pancake is not worth much!"

The man still felt a little sorry, but Tang Qiyue waved her hand and said, "I have never eaten this, I have only heard of it from others. Today is a good opportunity to try it. Let's just treat it as a change of food!"

The man took the little boy away. Tang Qiyue put the pancake on the lunch box beside her and waited for Zhan Zeye to come back and let him eat it.

As a result, Zhan Zeye had not returned yet, but the big sister on the opposite side came back first.

"Hey, big sister, where did you get these pancakes?"

My eldest sister is a purchasing agent. She travels everywhere and knows about pancakes and where people eat them.

Tang Qiyue told her what had just happened. The eldest sister praised Tang Qiyue for being kind-hearted. When she saw the pancakes, she told Tang Qiyue which group of people liked to eat them.

To be honest, Tang Qiuyue didn't really know much about areas where pancakes were the staple food. Only after listening to her elder sister's words did she realize that her elder sister's destination this time was also an area where pancakes were the staple food.

"That's the main wheat-producing area in the Yellow River Basin, but the harvests have been poor in the past two years. I didn't get much food this time!"

The eldest sister sighed.

Tang Qiyue didn't know how to respond to this. Everyone was having a hard time these days.

"But it's still good over there. You don't know, further west, in places where people eat sorghum, corn and sweet potatoes, life there is even harder!"

Every region has its own difficulties.

"It's hard to live anywhere now, Jiangnan is still the richer place!"

Tang Qiyue mentioned it, and the eldest sister nodded: "It is true that Jiangnan is rich, and there is no shortage of food in the southern mountains and forests. Although there is less food, you won't starve to death!"

When talking about food, someone said, "Aren't we going to Xinjiang to build a construction corps now? There are also granaries in the northwest. We are mobilizing young people to go there to build!"

"By the way, isn't it the black soil in Northeast China that is least short of food?"

Everyone started talking again.

Tang Qiyue did not participate in the conversation, she just pricked up her ears and listened.

Anyway, these people had just finished their meal and the weather was hot, so they had nothing to do in the carriage but chat.

It's quite lively.

When Zhan Zeye came back after eating, he saw the pancake that Tang Qiyue had given him. He didn't continue eating it, but folded it and stuffed it into his lunch box to eat it next time he ate.

But he was a little depressed because half of the dried fish that the one-eyed uncle prepared for Tang Qiyue was gone.

Fortunately, Tang Qiuyue is not a greedy person, so it doesn't matter if half of it is missing.

There were many passengers getting on and off along the way, and there was a lot of noise every time the train stopped at a station. However, it did not affect Tang Qiyue. The passengers in the sleeper berth were of decent quality, and with Zhan Zeye sitting next to her, there was really no blind person who would come and cause trouble.

At night, Zhan Zeye asked Tang Qiyue to sleep on the upper bunk, while he stayed on the lower bunk.

It's not that he didn't feel sorry for Tang Qiyue, but at night, it was unsafe down there, plus all kinds of strange smells were circulating down there, it was not comfortable at all. After a day and a night, they finally arrived at their destination, and Tang Qiyue felt a lot more relaxed.

It was simply because the smell in the carriage was too stuffy.

After leaving the station, Zhan Zeye took out his ID, borrowed the phone at the station and made a call. After waiting for half an hour, a car came to pick them up.

Although Zhan Zeye did not explain to Tang Qiyue, Tang Qiyue could guess that this was definitely not a direct return to the Zhan family.

It was not until they got off the car and saw that they needed to register and wait for someone to pick them up that they realized that Zhan Zeye had brought her directly to the old leader.

With a stranger around, Tang Qiyue didn't know how to say much to Zhan Zeye. She just glanced at him several times, and in return she got expressions that made her feel at ease.

"You actually asked for a car on your own initiative. It turns out that you've become more sensible now that you have a wife!"

When the old leader saw Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue walk into the living room, he put down the newspaper in his hand and teased him happily.

Zhan Zeye was very familiar with the old leader, and he didn't feel restrained at all. He just said, "I was afraid that your car would rust, so I gave it to you to use!"

In return, the old leader burst into laughter.

Tang Qiyue stood aside and kept smiling. The old chief had been looking at her since she entered the room. "Xiao Tang, look at this brat's mouth. Are you irritated by him every day?"

Tang Qiyue smiled awkwardly. What could she say? She couldn't say that she didn't have it at all. Instead, she was a little breathless because of Zhan Zeye's mouth?
Fortunately, the old chief's wife came out of the kitchen and placed the teacup in front of the old chief. "How old are you? You still talk bad about Xiao Ye. Be careful that this kid may steal your treasure again!"

The old chief's wife waved at Tang Qiyue, held her hand and looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Tang, let's not bother with these stinky men. They are like this when they meet. I made two servings of iced cheese, just in time to cool down!"

Tang Qiyue didn't know whether to leave or not, but Zhan Zeye agreed on her behalf: "Aunt Wen, I'll leave my wife to you!"

The old leader asked Zhan Zeye to go to the study with him, and Tang Qiyue followed Aunt Wen to the kitchen to bring out the ice cheese.

Aunt Wen has a gentle temperament and seems easy to get along with.

"Don't worry, Xiao Tang. Old Zheng is like this. Every time these kids come over, he goes to the study to talk about work first!"

Aunt Wen was afraid that Tang Qiyue would worry, so she didn't forget to explain.

Tang Qiyue shook her head: "I'm not worried!"

Aunt Wen was happy. Who doesn’t like a pretty and sensible girl? The key is that Tang Qiyue has to have a nice voice.

It turned out that Aunt Wen was from a Yue Opera Troupe and had a good voice. She usually admired people with nice voices. After hearing Tang Qiuyue's voice, she became even more certain that if Tang Qiuyue could learn opera, it would definitely be easy.

Because both of them were willing to communicate, there was no dull moment and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The two people in the study were not so relaxed.

The old leader has already received the news that Zhan Zeye has recovered, and he is also able to get the news firsthand about recent events on the island.

However, the specific details would not be as clear as if Zhan Zeye said it himself.

After talking about work, the old chief sighed: "You are so lucky, are you still angry about the marriage I found for you?"

Zhan Zeye grabbed the apple from the old leader's desk, wiped it on his clothes and took a bite.

"Don't give me that. The troublemaker you booked went to the island. You didn't book Tang Qiyue for me. I traded her for me myself!"
