Chapter 125: She doesn't need to be polite to a fish

~8 min read 1,477 words

Lu Qiao, Director Hu, Huang Juan, Sister Qiao, and others went to the conference room.

Lu Qiao suddenly remembered that she had to call Wei Qiang.

Besides, she wasn't prepared to attend this meeting; Old Hu and the others could discuss it.

As long as it wasn't an exorbitant demand, it would be fine.

Besides, if it were too excessive, she would also fight for the interests of the volunteers.

She hoped there wouldn't be any disputes; after all, the entire handicraft group in the food factory was a bit of a hodgepodge.

She was just looking for a loophole.

She would think of ways to strip it out only after the food factory really had income.

So, Lu Qiao said: "I have to call Wei Qiang. Last week I went to the scrap workshop to customize a wheelchair for Zhang Quan. It was agreed to be delivered tomorrow, but I can go take a look today in advance. I'll give Wei Qiang a reminder not to forget."

Old Hu nodded. After thinking, he also called Officer Liu from the security office to the meeting.

Sister Qiao asked Lu Qiao at the door: "What is that thing in front of your bicycle? It looks like a basket."

Lu Qiao: "It's a bicycle basket. Isn't it pretty?"

Sister Qiao: "Pretty. Where did you buy it?"

Lu Qiao: "It was woven by Brother Chang An from the service station. If you want one, I'll tell him to weave one for you."

Sister Qiao: "Good, I want one." Then she added: "Whether it's exchanging with things or using money, both are fine."

She was a public servant and couldn't openly take advantage of this.

Lu Qiao nodded and agreed.

Then she ran to call Wei Qiang. Wei Qiang didn't go to the mine and was at the unit. He said he had just contacted the scrap workshop, and it was already done; he was going to pick it up in a while.

Wei Qiang's voice was much gentler, feeling like he had changed a lot compared to before.

He thanked Lu Qiao on the phone. Lu Qiao was polite, urging him to come to the neighborhood office to find the organization if he had difficulties.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Quan's matter was resolved, which could be considered a weight off her mind.

Zhang Quan was a smart woman; regardless of whether she divorced Wei Qiang or not, she could live her life well.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiao felt she should go to the lake to find the old turtle. White Water Pearl's matter made her feel that life had infinite possibilities.

Xiaosi doesn't need to eat boiled water anymore.

His body can't be said to be healthy, but it's already much better than before.

A few days ago, she took him to an old Chinese doctor's house. The old doctor who raised pigeons was now secretly seeing patients.

It belonged to the category of "not reported by the people, not investigated by officials," but he had real skills. The medicine he prescribed for Xiaosi, although expensive and bitter, had very good effects.

Otherwise, whether Xiaosi could live until now was unknown.

The old doctor took Xiaosi's pulse and was quite shocked at the time, saying that Xiaosi's problem of a weak foundation was almost healed.

No need to take medicine anymore; just eat well in the future, and he urged him to eat more nutritious food. Once he reached adulthood, it would basically be no problem.

The old doctor also asked if he had eaten anything recently. Meng Xia knew a little about this, but she and Xiaosi naturally couldn't say.

Which is light and which is heavy, Meng Xia still knew.

However, Lu Qiao also thought, were there other such medicinal herbs at the bottom of Red Star Lake? Could people who were paralyzed stand up after eating them, and could those whose minds were stimulated recover their clarity?

Lu Qiao really went to the lake at night. Asking about this was just incidental; the main thing was to give these little things a message to stay at ease and that Red Star Lake wouldn't be handed over to the local area for the time being.

After Lu Qiao said this news, it should have spread from ten to a hundred. Not long after, she heard cheers coming from this area of water.

Soon, a behemoth swam toward her under the cover of night.

Originally calm, because of the arrival of the big dogfish, the water waves pushed layer after layer toward the shore.

The big dogfish opened its mouth and gave a wet wooden box to Lu Qiao.

This was the dogfish with the greatest age.

Its inner voice carried a heavy atmosphere, hard to say what it was, sounding very distant, but it was different from the big carp and the little swallows.

The dogfish and the old turtle were on the same level.

The dogfish was really big. Lu Qiao even thought, if this were caught, it would have to be chopped into pieces to eat. If there were a large freezer, wouldn't it be eaten for half a year?

Of course, this kind of dark thought was just a passing thought.

Lu Qiao greeted it with a smile.

"Hello, thank you for the gold ornaments you sent me."

【You're welcome, no need to say thank you. Those things weren't mine originally, but that boat capsized, and the things on it just happened to fall into my territory.】

Lu Qiao's heart stirred: "How are the boat and the people on it?"

【It happened to be a storm that day, just like the storm a while ago. That boat wasn't that sturdy, so the two boatmen and two guards fell in, and then there were five boxes, basically filled with gold and silver jewelry, etc. Oh right, there was a box filled with silver dollars.】

Lu Qiao was facing these treasures directly for the first time.

She looked left and right. The old turtle hurriedly said: 【Don't worry, there's no one nearby.】

The tabby cat stood on a rock, staring fixedly at the big dogfish, not even noticing that it seemed to be drooling.

But seeing Lu Qiao's vigilant look, it immediately arched its back and raised its tail, acting haughty: 【Little Master, don't worry, even if there is someone, I can scare them away.】

As it spoke, it deliberately made a few gloomy meowing sounds.

It must be said, in the middle of the night, the sound Hua Hua made really sounded scary.

There was no moonlight tonight, and everything around was pitch black.

Qin Hengzhi had a temporary task. He called her in the afternoon, saying he had already told Lin Lao, and she just needed to prepare to welcome them tomorrow; she didn't need to worry about anything else.

Speaking of this, she had to mention Old Hu and Huang Juan. At the time, it was almost time to get off work. Lu Qiao finished Qin Hengzhi's call and took the opportunity to tell Old Hu and Huang Juan that Lin Lao might meet Chang An tomorrow, and whether they were family wouldn't have a result tomorrow, because Lin Lao would first investigate secretly.

So, the two directors just needed to know.

To avoid not being mentally prepared when the time came.

And at this time, Lu Qiao opened the wet wooden box.

The wooden box should be black, with a lock plate but no lock.

It's just that her movement paused for a moment.

The material of this wooden box didn't seem to be ordinary wood.

Because it was too wet, the smell was covered up, but Lu Qiao still smelled a faint sandalwood scent.

It was about the same smell as the rosewood armchair her grandfather loved.

Lu Qiao opened the box, and her extraordinary vision allowed Lu Qiao to see five jade bracelets and six jade pendants inside that seemed like a pool of clear blue waves.

Lu Qiao frowned; the things the big dogfish brought were getting more and more precious.

Although it was night, she could see clearly. Inevitably, these jade ornaments still had small damages, but because the box's sealing was quite good, it wasn't that serious.

She felt the energy in her palm could handle these flaws.

She didn't need to be polite to a fish, so she accepted them without politeness.

She also said to the dogfish with a smile: "Within five years, it should be no problem, but if there are changes after five years, I will find a suitable water area for you where no one will go even after a hundred years, so you can live in peace."

A hundred years, hope there is no doomsday in this world! ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
