Chapter 66 Excluding Qiao Changdong as the Biological Father of "Chen XX"

The mystery surrounding Qiao Qiao's coma.

No one can find the reason.

The doctor could only suspect that it might have been caused by the head injury. The injury was so severe that the patient should have stayed in the hospital for a few days.

Unfortunately, Qiao Qiao either went to the provincial capital with Qiao Changdong, making a long journey, or she went to the back mountain with a few boys to have some fun.

The adults naturally wouldn't blame the boys for this.

But none of the boys thought much about it.

It's fair to say that no one in the Qiao family slept well until they received confirmation that Qiao Qiao was alright.

We still have to run.

If we don't go to the back mountain, where else can we improve the meals for our family?

However, seeing that her two older brothers were emotional, Qiao Qiao didn't say anything.

Once the two boys calmed down, they saw the peach shortbread that Qiao Changdong was carrying and began to show some of their childish nature.

"Is this for us?" The two were overjoyed.

In those days, school facilities were still very rudimentary.

They mostly brought their own meals.

When returning to school each Sunday, students should bring enough staple food for the week, such as mixed grains, white rice, or steamed buns.

During the break between the second and third periods each day, they would take these aluminum lunchboxes, which contained staple food and were engraved with their names, to the cafeteria and place them in a huge steamer so that the cafeteria staff could steam them for them.

Those with less means might eat dry food or have some pickled vegetables, dried vegetables, or jarred vegetables that they brought with them.

Those with better financial means can buy freshly cooked hot dishes from the cafeteria that day.

The canteen cooks a variety of dishes every day, priced at five cents, ten cents, and two cents.

Generally, five-cent portions consist of vegetarian dishes.

A penny can buy a little bit of meat.

Two cents is considered quite generous; it actually comes with a large piece of meat.

Grandma Qiao, Fang Zhengnan, and Mo Wenpei all have excellent cooking skills.

When I have free time, I sometimes cook some easy-to-preserve dishes for the boys to take to school, but most of the time I give them 50 cents a week and let them decide how to spend it.

The Qiao family certainly didn't let their sons go hungry.

However, there is a difference between being full and eating well.

When they returned home on Sundays, the boys always looked like they were starving.
