Chapter 11

Old Lu could only nod in agreement. Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily fooling around with Qiaoling's matter.

But if there was no job, and the educated youth office found out, they might be sent back hard. Or should she introduce a partner for Qiaoling?

Lu Qiao glanced and knew what Old Lu and his wife were worried about.

Worried that there was a medicine jar at home, worried that a pile of people at home didn't have formal jobs.

Even more worried that the two daughters couldn't even get a temporary job.

The Lu family's lunch was eaten in the courtyard outside.

Although the courtyard wasn't big, it was more spacious than the room.

The couple hadn't seen their mother and daughter for a long time, so naturally, they missed them.

Yesterday's small fish were long gone. Su Hui made sauce small fish with what Lu Qiao caught today and also steamed rice.

Meng Xia specially explained to the old lady: "The family can eat rice once a month, and the rest of the rice is exchanged for corn flour. This month, it just happened that it wasn't exchanged, so it was all steamed."

Old Lady Lu sighed: "The harvest in the hometown hasn't been good these years, otherwise I could have brought some food back."

Old Lu hurriedly said: "Mom, I'll buy you a few white flour buns tonight. The buns in our military factory cafeteria are delicious and affordable."

Lu Qiao nodded in agreement.

The large buns in the cafeteria were truly delicious.

Lu Qiaoling pulled Lu Qiao and said softly: "Second Sister."

Lu Qiao swallowed a piece of sauce small fish and turned to ask Lu Qiaoling: "What's wrong?"

"Are... are you angry with me?"

Lu Qiao looked at Lu Qiaoling, who was cautious. Although the two were only one year apart, a sister was a sister.

She smiled: "Not angry."

Lu Qiaoling was immediately happy: "I didn't know there were so many candidates. Even if it were given to me, I wouldn't be able to do it. What I said at the time was all angry words." Afterward, she couldn't help but curiously ask Lu Qiao: "Second Sister, how is it with Qi Shuang and Yao Kai?"

Lu Qiao: "This is hard to say, but I helped Old Lady Li find the gold ring."

The Lu family couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Old Lu asked in surprise: "How did you help Old Lady Li find it?"

Lu Qiao told them about what happened after she went to the Qi family directly after leaving the military factory gate.

Everyone listened with great interest.

Lu Zhiguo's eyes were shining as he said: "Second sister, I feel like you have hope."

Old Lu remembered one thing and asked Lu Qiao: "Did you see Representative Qin at the gate?"

Lu Qiao nodded: "Yes, I saw him. I even thanked him."

Old Lu breathed a sigh of relief, truly feeling that his daughter had become sensible.

After eating, Lu Qiao followed Su Hui to clean up, took the tabby cat, and went out, preparing to see if there were any unexpected gains.

Unexpectedly, she met the naughty swallow that had returned from inquiring about news halfway.

This swallow followed her to under a tree in fear.

Because it was afraid of cats.

Especially the cats here, which loved to squat on trees and catch birds to eat.

The naughty swallow told Lu Qiao: 【The brigade leader of Guzitun and a cafeteria in the city made a verbal agreement to plant early-harvest green vegetables, such as spinach, leeks, cabbage, and lettuce, etc. Not only did the brigade office plant them, but the collective farm members also planted a lot in their homes. Unexpectedly, the cafeteria administrator was suddenly transferred, so the agreement was voided, and the vegetables planted by the collective farm members, besides being eaten by themselves, were basically fed to chickens and ducks...】

Lu Qiao was a bit surprised.

Since she could hear the inner voices of animals, no animal had ever been able to express such a long inner voice.

She pondered for a moment and decided to do an experiment.

Thus, she said in her heart to the tabby cat: 【Flower, do you want to eat fish tomorrow noon?】

The tabby cat was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: 【I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat.】

Lu Qiao understood. She could actually communicate with these animals in her heart.

The reason she could hear such a long paragraph was perhaps because the information the swallow saw was directly received and interpreted by her.

Not to mention, this news was really good. Lu Qiao smiled and took out a pinch of millet: "You eat first, and when I turn to the gate of the Qi family, let your wife come out to eat, how about that?"

She didn't communicate with the swallow with her inner voice; this had to be tested a few more times.

Besides, it wasn't strange for humans to talk to animals.

The fed naughty swallow was very happy. It didn't have to look for worms today. Although millet wasn't the main food, it hadn't eaten it since it could remember.

Lu Qiao did what she said. When passing by the Qi family, she put a pinch of millet at the doorway, then she took the tabby cat and continued to stroll.

Turning to the tube-style building area, she actually saw Duan Xiaoxiang. That woman recovered very quickly and was already leaning at the doorway chatting with a few aunts while eating melon seeds.

Seeing Lu Qiao, she seemed to want to say something, but seeing Lu Qiao's mocking look, thinking of her sharp tongue, she turned her head away.

After people left, she curled her lips: "Already annulled the engagement, and still has the face to come out and show off."

An aunt couldn't hold back and sneered.

Duan Xiaoxiang frowned: "You old lady, who are you sneering at?"

The aunt stood up. She didn't feel she was old and wasn't very happy to be called an old lady.

She patted her clothes: "So what if the engagement is annulled? Can't a girl who annulled her engagement come out to see people? Duan Xiaoxiang, your thinking is too backward."

Duan Xiaoxiang was so angry that she turned into the room and slammed the door with a bang.

The few chatting aunts felt very bored and followed closely behind.

Lu Qiao transmigrated here, and her strength-type supernatural power also followed, along with her good hearing.

Duan Xiaoxiang's mocking words were heard clearly.

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with Duan Xiaoxiang, she unexpectedly met Aunt Wu from the First Neighborhood Committee who was checking hygiene. She said very politely and cleverly: "Hello, leader, can I report something to you about hygiene?"

Aunt Wu was very happy to be called a leader, but she said modestly: "I'm not a leader, but I can really manage what you want to report about hygiene. Tell me."

Lu Qiao pointed to Building 45: "There is a female comrade over there eating melon seeds, and the melon seed skins are spit all over the ground."

Aunt Wu's face changed, and she hurried toward that side. When she really saw a ground of melon seed skins, she shouted angrily: "This month our First Neighborhood Committee is competing for the hygiene pacesetter. Whoever ate these melon seed skins, come out and clean them up. Don't wait for me to find you, it won't look good."

Lu Qiao didn't go far, and these words were heard clearly by her.

Afterward, she heard the sound of Duan Xiaoxiang and Aunt Wu from the neighborhood committee arguing.

Lu Qiao curled her lips and leisurely led the tabby cat to continue walking forward.

Lu Qiao prepared to focus on observing the vegetable situation of the employees in the military factory family quarters.

Multi-directional development, maybe she could eat that public bowl of rice.

Thus, she took the tabby cat and walked toward the non-staple food store.

Early the next morning, Lu Qiao was called to the neighborhood office.

Qi Shuang and Yao Kai were both there.

Yao Kai, with a gloomy face, agreed to divorce. As the final mediator, Lu Qiao naturally should also come forward.

They all say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break one marriage.

The cadres of the neighborhood office persuaded them for a long time with earnest words.

But both of them were very firm.

So they agreed.

Before leaving, the haggard Qi Shuang gave Lu Qiao a lot of praise and commendation in front of the leaders of the neighborhood office.

She also pulled Lu Qiao quietly, thanking her for the twenty-nine items...
