Chapter 12

Actually, Lu Qiao didn't know which one Yao Kai hit, but it was definitely one of them.

After both of them left, Director Hu looked at Lu Qiao with a complex expression.

This girl, he didn't know whether he should praise her for solving the problem well or criticize her for making Yao Kai and Qi Shuang divorce as soon as she made a move.

By the way, just because of a bubble of bird droppings, she had to go dig a bird nest, and as a result, she found Old Lady Li's lost gold ring.

The Li family was grateful to her. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war had a very wide impact.

But Little Zhu should be unhappy.

After all, that was her exam question.

Director Hu told Lu Qiao: "Your task is completed, go home first and wait for news."

Lu Qiao didn't leave, but smiled: "Director Hu, I've been strolling around the family quarters for the past two days and found a problem."

Director Hu put down the pen in his hand: "What problem?"

Lu Qiao: "It's a bit difficult for our family quarters to eat green vegetables, but some rural areas in the suburbs definitely have green vegetables that they can't finish."

Director Hu frowned: "You want to spend money to buy vegetables? No, no!"

Besides, you are an unemployed youth, what qualification do you have to buy vegetables?

Lu Qiao smiled: "It's not buying vegetables, we exchange goods. For example, my family has two bars of soap that we can't use now, so can't I exchange them for spinach and leeks to eat?"

Old Hu's eyes lit up, then he shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work."

Lu Qiao's eyes were shining: "Why won't it work? We use idle daily necessities to exchange for the vegetables that the peasant brothers can't finish, which not only solves the difficulties of their daily needs but also supplements the vegetables and vitamins for our workers who work hard day and night.

And in the later expansion of our factory, we received great support from the peasant brothers..."

Director Hu was moved.

"Director Hu, if you think it's not stable, I'll go explore the path." Lu Qiao said.

"How will you explore the path?"

"The neighborhood office just needs to open an introduction letter for me."

Old Hu: "Introduction letters can't be opened casually."

Lu Qiao: "If I go to other places, then who should I find to open an introduction letter?"

Lu Qiao smiled: "It's just an introduction letter for going out. Opening this doesn't violate regulations, right?"

But Old Hu was worried: "You little girl, one person won't work."

Lu Qiao considered it and said: "I'll go to the transport team to find my eldest brother. Anyway, he counts as half a neighborhood office. As long as he asks for half a day off, he'll be back by noon."

Old Hu didn't want to agree, but for some reason, he agreed.

Lu Qiao said she would come to open the introduction letter after investigating, and then left the neighborhood office.

After she left, Ren Xiaocui and the others gathered around and asked curiously: "Director Hu, what are the twenty-nine items? Did you ask?"

Old Hu realized that the most important thing wasn't asked.

He put on a serious face: "You are still national cadres, do you understand what personal privacy is? Besides, Qi Shuang tore up the note, can Lu Qiao just say it casually?"

Huang Juan agreed: "If she says it casually, then no matter how excellent she is, we can't have her."

Everyone nodded.

But they felt something was strange.

These words sounded like Lu Qiao had a lot of hope.

But these people really looked at Lu Qiao with new eyes.

Now it depends on how others completed it.

Lu Qiao returned home from the neighborhood office and saw a pile of people pasting paper boxes under the tree.

Old Lady Lu changed her coldness from yesterday, pulled Lu Qiao, and asked her to tell again how she handled Sun Qin's matter.

She even smiled and praised her: "Our Qiao has been smart since she was little, it's a pity she threw away her studies halfway, otherwise she could have taken the university entrance exam."

Lu Qiao said seriously: "Grandma, I'll take Qiaoling to the hospital. It's not that easy to return to the city now. Many people without proper reasons or jobs will be driven back to the countryside. My eldest brother is because he has great strength, and the loading and unloading team of the transport team is short of people, so he had an opportunity. But even so, there is no quota, and he could be dismissed at any time. Didn't you say your heart was uncomfortable? Qiaoling will use this reason, and go to the hospital and say the same..."

Old Lady Lu looked at Lu Qiao with a complex expression. She hadn't seen her for more than half a year, plus falling into the water and annulling the engagement, Qiao seemed to have grown up.

Thus, Meng Xia and Lu Qiao didn't paste paper boxes anymore, and the two took Lu Qiaoling to the hospital. After a series of examinations, according to what Lu Qiao said, it really matched some heart disease.

But this thing couldn't be seen when it didn't attack.

However, it needed continued observation, so she could stay for the time being.

The doctor gave a diagnosis, but the main thing was still some anemia and malnutrition.

This ailment was actually quite common in this era.

However, with the diagnosis, she could temporarily feel at ease staying at home.

——

In the evening, Lu Qiao found an opportunity to pull Old Lu for a private conversation.

She hadn't been strolling around for nothing these two days and had really found out a lot of things.

But at this time, Lu Qiao asked about the steel billets lost in the factory.

"Dad, the day I fell into the water, was Representative Qin actually on a mission?"

Lu Da was suddenly serious: "This has nothing to do with you, don't ask around if there's nothing to do."

Lu Qiao: "Dad, this is not a secret, many people know it. Liang Aishu also knows it. Otherwise, could he have been so guilty and afraid that day?"

After a pause, Lu Qiao continued: "But I've been strolling around the family quarters these few days and accidentally heard that the Red Star Lake was actually called Immortal Lake fifty years ago. It's also said that there is an underground pipe leading directly to the center of the lake. I don't know who built it, but there is a mechanism that can be closed and opened. When opened, the lake water will backflow and flood the entire military factory and even the family quarters..."

Old Lu listened to it as a joke at first, but as he listened, he felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

Two months ago, the Red Star Lake had just thawed, and the steel billets sent by the steel mill were put into storage according to normal procedures. But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the lake water entered the warehouse and even flooded a nearby workshop.

However, not much water came in, but when people opened the warehouse, they found that a warehouse of steel billets had disappeared.

Then it shocked the higher-ups, who sent Qin Hengzhi. That person was very powerful and soon found the missing steel billets in the center of the lake.

He didn't know many details.

But he knew that now it seemed they were still looking for the whereabouts of the steel billets, but actually, they were looking for the people who caused the destruction and the secret passage.

Old Lu lowered his voice, trembling with nervousness: "Then did you hear them say where the opening mechanism is?"

Lu Qiao stroked the cat silently.

She went to Red Star Lake to get fish for the tabby cat at noon, but not the remote lakeside, but the place close to the family quarters.

Unexpectedly, she saw the old turtle, and from the old turtle, she knew many secrets, and also knew that there would be a heavy rainstorm in a week.

She analyzed that the group of people or some bad person would take advantage of the rainstorm night to open the mechanism and lead the lake water to the military factory.

Although it couldn't flood it, even if the water level was only twenty centimeters, the loss would be huge.

This idea should have existed for a long time.

Two months ago, it was just testing whether the mechanism was easy to use, but who would have thought that maybe the time was too long, leading to mistakes, and those steel ingots slid to the bottom of the lake along the pipe.
