Chapter 20

Lu Qiao and Lu Lu Lu Qiaoling didn't know that even Lu the fourth was a reason for being looked down upon.

The two soon arrived home.

Looking at the expression on her daughter's face, Meng Xia frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"

Lu Lu Lu Qiaoling was quick-tongued and told everything Zhao Jinbao had said just now.

Meng Xia's face darkened. She and Old Lu were both anxious about the household registration, but it had to be done bit by bit.

Now that nothing was even set in stone, was there any need for a jerk like you to be babbling?

Meng Xia was angry: "When a man and a woman meet, how can the man be late?"

Old Lady Lu waved her hand: "The Zhao family isn't sincere. Forget it, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. We'll talk about it if there's a suitable one later."

Lu Qiao thought for a moment and asked Lu Zhiguo: "Older brother, do you know Liu Feng?"

Lu Zhiguo nodded: "I know him, he's a driver in the first group."

In this day and age, drivers and shop assistants were very popular.

No wonder Liu Feng was so arrogant.

So, Lu Qiao told the Lu family what had happened at the restaurant today.

This was one wave after another.

Lu Da was so shocked he stood up.

The two daughters hadn't been out for long, so how could so many things have happened?

Lu Zhiguo stood up, his voice icy: "I'm going to Liu Feng's house."

This time, Meng Xia didn't stop him.

Su Hui hurriedly said: "I'll go with you."

Her husband's temperament wasn't very good, so she had to watch him to prevent him from making a move in public.

Lu Lu Lu Qiaoling was in a bad mood and didn't want to stay at home, saying: "I'm going too."

Lu Qiao didn't move.

It was enough for those three to go.

Even if the Lu family was in the right, they couldn't show no reaction at all.

Otherwise, they would really think the Lu family was easy to bully.

Meng Xia only felt a headache, feeling that there were too many unpleasant things these days.

In the light at the doorway, Lu Qiao glanced at Meng Xia, who was frowning, and asked: "Mom, how much have you packed of the daily necessities and household items that aren't being used?"

Meng Xia then remembered the matter of Guzi Village.

She said: "Everything is packed. If you can trade, trade for more chives. Your grandmother loves chive dumplings, we'll make dumplings tomorrow." She then exhorted: "If you can't trade, don't trade, absolutely don't commit any mistakes."

Lu Qiao nodded in agreement and then went to look at the things Meng Xia had found.

Five bars of soap, three packs of matches, two packs of red candles, three packs of salt.

These were all benefits Old Lu had received over the years, and because Meng Xia was frugal, she had saved them up.

There were too few things, and it was a rare opportunity; Lu Qiao didn't want to just trade for some green leafy vegetables.

Lu Qiao said: "Doesn't our house have a flashlight? Give me that one."

Household appliances—a flashlight!

Meng Xia found the flashlight; it was new, and she even brought two large batteries.

"Qiao, is it a loss to trade this for vegetables?"

"Take it first, if it's a loss, we just won't trade."

"By the way, Mom, give me a few pairs of cloth gloves."

Meng Xia thought for a moment and brought the remaining five pairs of labor protection gloves from the house.

Lu Qiao said again: "Mom, what else is there? Let me see."

Meng Xia gave her second daughter, who was pushing her luck, a look of annoyance, and simply led her to the place where the Lu family kept their miscellaneous items.

Although it was very small, it was in perfect order.

Lu Qiao took a box of size 1 batteries and a box of light bulbs, as well as three pairs of rubber shoes, then dug out five towels, an enamel water cup, and two pairs of men's plastic sandals. Looking up, she saw a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes on the shelf.

These cigarettes had filters and were very hard to buy nowadays.

Many supply and marketing cooperatives sold them by the stick.

Lu Qiao said: "Mom, I'll take these first. In case Director Hu doesn't prepare them in advance, we can borrow them from the public."

Borrow from the public?

Do you have a unit?

Meng Xia endured it, but didn't say it out loud.

It was a rare opportunity, and regardless of the result, as a parent, she had to give her full support.

Besides, if the trade didn't work out, the things saved over the years could be brought back.

She exhorted: "Your mom didn't save these things easily, be careful, don't lose them."

Lu Qiao agreed, then put everything into a canvas bag. She turned her head, and Old Lady Zhao, who had been following her and wanting to speak but hesitating, finally lowered her voice and opened her mouth: "Qiao, did Representative Qin really just say directly that you were his blind date?"

Old Lu and Meng Xia had also been concerned about this just now.

They knew in their hearts that Representative Qin was helping, but they couldn't help but think too much.

Meng Xia's eyes turned: "Qiao, did Representative Qin say anything when he parted with you?"

Old Lu also asked: "Qiao, did you thank Representative Qin?"

Lu Qiao answered Old Lu first: "Dad, Representative Qin knew I had no relationship with Liu Feng. He kindly testified for me, so I certainly had to thank him."

She then said to Old Lady Lu: "Grandma, it was indeed said directly, but I feel that even the people in the restaurant wouldn't take it seriously."

Old Lady Zhao, however, curled her lips and secretly sized up her smiling second granddaughter.

She had four granddaughters, and this one was the most beautiful.

The scripts all said that it was hard for a hero to pass the beauty trap.

If he wanted to help, there were plenty of ways, so why did the clever and formidable Representative Qin choose this one?

However, she only thought about this in her heart; the two families were worlds apart, just like the rural girl and the crown prince in the past.

If she said too much, and her granddaughter started having delusions, it would harm her instead.

She sighed, also feeling she had thought too much. She shook her head seriously at her son and daughter-in-law, deciding to have a good talk with them in a while.

Lu Qiao didn't know Old Lady Lu had thought so much. She put the canvas bag away and continued to explain to Meng Xia: "After leaving the restaurant, he waited for the car. I'm not familiar with Representative Qin, so there was certainly nothing to say."

The Lu family in the courtyard didn't speak.

Lu Qiao was also surprised for a moment. Speaking of Qin Heng, she also just remembered he was on a blind date, and the blind date partner was named Lu Min, a very unfamiliar name; she shouldn't be in the original owner's circle.

It seemed the person hadn't come?

It seemed Qin Heng had come out as soon as he answered the phone; it wasn't that the other party had an accident, after all, his expression didn't look like it.

But she was a bit puzzled. To tell the truth, Qin Heng's conditions were really good, so the other party must not have liked him.

Well, that was also possible.

After all, everyone has their own preferences.

The thought was just a flash. Lu Qiao continued: "Mom, I'm going to the research institute. I've finished reading all the books Director He asked me to read, and I'm planning to borrow a few more. Dad, I'll ride your bicycle."

Thinking about it, she called Lu the fourth: "Bring me the little fish you raised, I'll send them to Director He."

Lu the fourth, who had been very quiet, happily ran to carry the little iron bucket from the corner.

It was actually prepared for the tabby cat.

Lu Qiao rode the bicycle, with a small iron bucket hanging on the handlebars, and rode toward the research institute with a clatter.

At the same time, at the military representative office of the military factory.

Qin Heng was on the phone with his grandfather.

They were talking about today's blind date.

His voice carried a hint of imperceptible coldness and sarcasm.

"... Don't push the responsibility onto Cao Lanzhu. Without the Cao family's indulgence and your tacit approval, would she dare call the Lu family?"

Old Master Qin was obviously also very angry. The Lu family didn't know what they were thinking, actually not going.

He also said angrily: "Ever since you rejected Cao Lanzhu to her face, your grandmother and I have never mentioned this matter again. Who knew where this girl got the news? I really didn't know."

Qin Heng's tone had no ups and downs, very calm: "Don't interfere with my marriage again."

The other party froze for a moment before saying gloomily: "... Okay!"
