Chapter 182: Peering at him

~7 min read 1,371 words

Qin Hengzhi had a magical feeling; he felt that he wasn't just visiting his partner's family, but also visiting the homes of the little animals in his partner's family.

Look, the swallows under the eaves were staring intently, and the noisy sparrows were terrifyingly silent.

A familiar gray pigeon was crouching on the wall, eyeing him like a tiger, and it seemed there was some kind of creature he couldn't see peering at him from the shadows.

This feeling was truly hard to describe.

Fortunately, Huahua was very normal, jumping up and down around him, clearly very happy.

Old Lu was also very happy.

Sometimes he even had a sense of unreality, but now that he had visited, his heart suddenly settled down.

Moutai was really good to drink, especially the one Qin Hengzhi brought. Even though the weather was very hot, Lu Da still wanted to drink it. He said: "Why fear drinking a little? I don't know how happy I am that Hengzhi came. Besides, our place is good, the courtyard is so cool. Let me tell you, Hengzhi, even if you gave me a building now, I wouldn't trade it. Hahaha..."

Lu Qiao watched this scene with a smile. Oh, so this is what it feels like for a partner to visit.

Hmm, not bad either.

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiao. He also felt that the Lu family's courtyard was very cool.

The Lu family lived in a middle unit, and although it was transparent from north to south, it shouldn't be this cool.

But it was very cool, so what!

Meng Xia smiled and urged Qin Hengzhi to come home for meals whenever he had time. Although there was no big fish or meat, there was still home-cooked food.

After the meal, Lu Qiao saw the slightly tipsy Qin Hengzhi out.

She looked at Qin Hengzhi as she walked, then giggled.

Qin Hengzhi stared at Lu Qiao with deep eyes, his voice hoarse as he asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Qiao teased: "You were so obedient in front of my grandma and my parents."

Qin Hengzhi glanced sideways at Lu Qiao. This was his first formal visit; did she expect him to be unruly and confront everyone he saw?

He changed the subject: "I found the person you asked me to help find, Sun Ziliang."

Lu Qiao widened her eyes: "Oh my, you found him so quickly?"

Qin Hengzhi nodded: "Yes, but he is at a farm in Xinjiang Province, currently guarding the gate of the farm."

Sun Ziliang's family operated the largest pharmacy in Beidu in the early years, and later most of his family members worked in hospitals.

However, he didn't know medicine, and there was no word of him having a master.

He went to the farm voluntarily, without bringing a single family member, and it is said that he severed ties with them.

Lu Qiao hesitated for a moment. He didn't know medicine?

Even if he was found, he wouldn't be of any use, right?

"Are you sure he really doesn't know medicine, or is he hiding it and not using it?"

Qin Hengzhi: "That would require me to go there personally."

Lu Qiao waved her hand: "Forget it, maybe I found the wrong person."

She prepared to find time to talk to the old turtle.

Qin Hengzhi: "I will have my friends continue to keep an eye out."

Lu Qiao smiled brightly: "Then thank you."

Qin Hengzhi raised an eyebrow: "Is that just a thank you?"

Lu Qiao smiled ambiguously: "Otherwise, I'll kiss you!"

Qin Hengzhi: "..."

Little girl, you're amazing!!!

His hand was placed gently on Lu Qiao's shoulder, and then he nimbly turned her body around.

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying suppressed emotions: "My little partner, hurry home!"

Lu Qiao: "..."

She looked back at Qin Hengzhi.

This guy, he was shy.

So cute, I want to tackle him!

After Lu Qiao entered the courtyard, Meng Xia pondered for a long time, then walked to Lu Qiao's side and whispered to her: "Lu Lu Qiaoge, Mom wants to tell you something."

Lu Qiao looked at Meng Xia in surprise: "Why so solemn? If you want to say something, just say it."

"What are your plans with Qin Hengzhi?"

Lu Qiao blinked: "What plans?"

Meng Xia glared and gently patted Lu Qiao's back: "Stinky girl, you're just playing dumb with me. I'm asking what you plan for the future?"

Lu Qiao said naturally: "Just dating first."

"And after dating? Not getting married? Also, he's working here for five years; what about after five years?"

After a pause, Meng Xia continued: "I heard your dad say that continuing to work here isn't good for promotion. For the sake of his future, Qin Hengzhi will definitely have to return to the army."

Lu Qiao really hadn't thought that far ahead.

Qin Hengzhi hadn't mentioned it to her either.

"We haven't talked about this aspect."

Meng Xia's expression darkened: "Then I won't talk about his plans after five years first. Let's just talk about when you plan to get married?"

Isn't that too fast?

Lu Qiao indicated she wasn't ready.

Meng Xia: "What does his family mean? Do they have any thoughts about you? Did Qin Hengzhi say anything about taking you back to Beidu to meet his parents?"

Lu Qiao said exaggeratedly: "Oh my mom, I'm only nineteen, and that's by the lunar calendar. I didn't think about getting married so early."

Meng Xia looked at her incredulously: "What? Just dating? Does Qin Hengzhi think so too?"

Meng Xia's mood wasn't very good when she said this.

If Qin Hengzhi thought so too, she definitely wouldn't be happy.

What does that mean?

Just dating and not getting married?

Liang Aishu was like that; could a child as good as Qin Hengzhi be like that too?

Meng Xia felt uncomfortable in her chest.

Lu Qiao thought carefully about her interactions with Qin Hengzhi.

She said honestly: "Mom, don't worry. If I said let's get married tomorrow, Qin Hengzhi would be able to get the certificate with me immediately."

Meng Xia wasn't happy when she said this either.

She blamed her angrily: "You haven't even visited their house, and you'd go get the certificate with him? Are you stupid? What's wrong, can't our Lu family's girl get married?"

Lu Qiao asked Meng Xia absentmindedly: "Mom, then what do you say we should do?"

Meng Xia stomped her feet helplessly: "You figure it out yourself."

She wanted to urge her a bit more, but seeing her daughter's smiling face, she sighed and said: "Raising a daughter is really worrying."

Lu Qiao saw Meng Xia's hesitation and had to give her a reassurance: "Mom, I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything detrimental to myself. You can rest assured."

Meng Xia remembered the things her second daughter had done and also felt she was worrying unnecessarily, but a mother must urge what she must urge.

As for whether she listens, she really couldn't control that.

——

Qin Hengzhi soon brought news to Lu Qiao that the relevant leaders above were very interested and asked her to write a report and submit it.

Lu Qiao wasn't surprised. They were in the same circle, so naturally, they would have dealings, not to mention that Old Master Qin was still in his position.

She had already prepared it and gave the report to Qin Hengzhi.

At this time, the two were at the gate of the neighborhood committee. Xiao Liu saw Lu Qiao hand Qin Hengzhi a few sheets of paper, curled her lips, and didn't speak, but couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes.

She turned her head, looking at the tickets Lu Qiao had just handed her, her eyes flashing.

She clenched her hands again and again, but in the end, jealousy got the upper hand.

At this time, she was the only one in the finance office. She pulled out a few sheets of paper and tore them into pieces, but still not feeling at ease, she simply ate the tickets.

Let's see what you, Lu Qiao, use to reconcile the accounts this time! ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
