Chapter 218

Lu Qiaoge continued: "As for this trade fair, the purpose was to exchange for foreign currency, grain, machinery, electronic components, and the materials we needed, and also to make the other party exchange willingly without setting conditions for us.

I thought at the time, no matter what we exchange with, I feel heartbroken. I specifically mentioned this in the application report, such as steel, oil, minerals, and even grain; which one isn't in short supply in our country?

However, handicrafts couldn't reach such a large share. I thought at the time, provide a venue for them to sell clothes, such as the Workers' Cultural Palace; that's our territory in Jiangcheng. Let them use it, and when people leave, the territory is still ours."

Hearing this, Bai Lao's face was full of smiles.

"So, you succeeded. Even if someone wants to find trouble for you or find your mistakes, they have nowhere to start. Qiao Ge, you have studied the various terms thoroughly. Not bad, not bad."

Qin Hengzhi was silent throughout, but the pride in his eyes couldn't be blocked.

He really wanted to pinch the little girl's cheeks; how could she be so amazing?

Lu Qiaoge also smiled, but in fact, she knew the future direction and knew that doing this now had low risk. Of course, the four words "creating a name" weren't necessarily a derogatory term.

"Thank you for your praise. Actually, I should thank the leaders for their foresight. I just provided an idea; it was the joint efforts of the comrades that made the trade fair a complete success."

Bai Lao waved his hand: "No need to be humble. Young people should be as daring to think and act as you."

Speaking of this, Bai Lao changed the subject: "Qiao Ge, I feel that the neighborhood office of the military factory has limited your development. Are you interested in working at the Foreign Trade Bureau? Don't worry, as long as you nod, I can definitely transfer you out."

Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge both stopped walking.

Lu Qiaoge didn't expect Bai Lao to poach her.

Although 516 was good, it did indeed limit her performance.

Many things couldn't be done or experimented with, and the scale couldn't be expanded.

But she didn't need to perform now; how good it was to just lie low like this.

She had gold at home, money in her pocket, savings in the bank, and a food factory to toss around.

By the way, there was also a handsome little brother to talk about love with.

Lu Qiaoge said seriously: "Grandfather Bai, I'm very tempted by your proposal, but I can't agree. Xiang Yang Food Factory was founded by me. It has just started, and more than a dozen workers are counting on this job to support their families. Even if I leave, I have to wait until I turn the food factory from a large collective into a large state-owned factory."

Bai Lao laughed loudly again.

He looked at Qin Hengzhi with appreciation; you kid have good taste.

Meng Xia knew the whole process of Lu Qiaoge going to the Bai family and was truly beaming with joy.

Why was her second daughter so amazing?

Of course, the Bai family was complicated, so it was better to go less in the future.

Lu Qiaoge didn't think that much.

This was normal.

Where in the world is there a perfect family without flaws?

Meng Xia remembered one thing and said: "Team Leader Lin came in the morning and brought half a bag of green corn and oil beans, saying they were grown by himself. This person is too honest; if you give him something, he wishes he could return it a hundred times over."

Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement and said to Meng Xia: "Just interact normally; just treat Guzi Village as having one more relative."

A simple, honest, yet clever person who knew how to handle things.

Meng Xia said: "Hengzhi is coming for dinner tonight. He loves the Mapo Tofu I make. I'm going to buy some tofu and some seasonings."

After speaking, she left with a vegetable basket, saying as she walked: "These three sparrows seem to be welded to the tree branches, chirping and chirping, and won't leave even if you chase them."

Lu Qiaoge looked up at the big pine tree outside the courtyard.

There were three sparrows perched on it.

Seeing Meng Xia leave, and with only Lu Qiaoge in the courtyard, they immediately started chirping and communicating with Lu Qiaoge.

【Little fairy, the swallows will soon fly to the south, or to even further countries. We don't know if they can come back next year. We three just happen to want to live in their nest for the winter. You should just agree.】

【Yeah, yeah, we really like the swallow nest. We promise to live well and not destroy it.】

【My nest used to be in a wall hole, but in the spring, it was raided by a group of naughty boys, and my babies were all eaten by them, boo-hoo...】

Lu Qiaoge: "..."

She said firmly: "No, I definitely can't agree."

The three sparrows were very cunning. They waited for the swallow family to fly to Red Star Lake and then secretly came to squat and wait for her.

According to Mouse Da, they had squatted and waited several times.

These three sparrows didn't get along with the swallows, and they had fought several times before she could communicate with them. Although they were familiar with Lu Qiaoge later, they rarely came here.

They either blocked her halfway or went to the neighborhood office to find her.

Hearing Lu Qiaoge's refusal, the three sparrows lowered their heads in frustration.

Que Da said: 【It's not easy for us to get through the winter. Many people like to use sticky nets to catch us and eat us.】

Lu Qiaoge waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way for you in the winter."

Lu Qiaoge sent the three sparrows away, went back to the room, looked at the place where the gold was hidden, thought of the iron boxes under the reed marsh, and resigned herself to riding her bicycle toward the lakeside.

It was hot now, so there was no problem going into the water to fish things out, but next month would be September, and the weather would be cool.

It was 3:00 PM, and the sun was still hanging brightly in the western sky.

Arriving at the lakeside, she put her bicycle under the steps and walked toward the reed marsh with her bag.

Then she felt that not only the lake water but even the air seemed to be stirred up.

The first to fly over were Tao Tao and Ni Ni, followed by their little cubs.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Ni Ni, who had landed on her shoulder, and really wanted to tell them that the sparrows were eyeing their nest.

Immediately after, Little Cang Cang also flew over.

The lake water rippled in layers. Experienced fishermen could feel that big things were hidden underneath.

Lu Qiaoge knew that the big pike, carp, and big grass carp had come.

Of course, there was also the old turtle.

Lu Qiaoge hadn't been here for a while.

These little things were still very excited to see her.

They swarmed toward Lu Qiaoge, and if they could, they would have surrounded her.

Lu Qiaoge didn't delay and said directly to the big pike: "I want to go into the water to see those big iron boxes."

At this moment, the big pike was on the bank, its fish body gently wagging its tail in the water.

【I'll show you first, don't worry, little fairy, you wait for us by the lake.】

The old turtle also said: 【We rarely come here, and we aren't familiar with many areas. Going into the water rashly will be dangerous.】

Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine too."

This was the first time Lu Qiaoge had come to determine the location of the iron boxes.

So the big pike and the big carp were also very serious.

The old turtle bit the big pike's tail and followed along.

Within Lu Qiaoge's range of vision, the old turtle hadn't surfaced yet, and Tao Tao was still circling above the water.

She had always known it was the reed marsh, but once it was truly determined, it turned out to be in the depths of the reed marsh.

Lu Qiaoge still gave up the idea of going into the water.

When the old turtle surfaced, the swallows in the distance flew back and said to Lu Qiaoge: 【The boxes are still in the original place, directly opposite the big poplar tree on the steps.】

【I originally thought there were only three boxes, but there seem to be eleven. They were under the sand, and now they are all exposed.】
