Chapter 253: Gold Exchanged for Money

The cloth bag contained gold bracelets of various patterns, but the colors were deep and light, which was estimated to be related to the craftsmanship, but each one was heavy.

Lu Lu Qiao first picked out the ones without any patterns and looked at the so-called proof. Fortunately, it only wrote the number and the name of the type, not the specific weight.

So Lu Lu Qiao picked out eight gold bracelets according to the current recycling price, which could get about 3,000 yuan according to the current price.

It couldn't be more, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.

Lu Lu Qiao concentrated all her mental energy, put the energy on her hands, and after a few seconds, put the gold bracelets together and pinched them into two heavy strips.

Lu Lu Qiao looked at them carefully; there was no trace of fusion, as if they were born like this.

Except for being thicker and coarser, there was no problem.

She believed that with Liu Min's intelligence and flexibility, she would definitely not talk nonsense, because these two gold bracelets were enough for her to complete this month's task.

Lu Lu Qiao put the others away and looked at her treasure bedroom. After buying the house, she had to transport them during the night; she couldn't think about it during the day.

The next day, Lu Lu Qiao took the two fused and straightened gold bracelets, the household registration book, and the proof to work. Today she needed to hand in the work summary and also go to check the handicrafts of the neighborhood committee with Sister Lu Qiao.

She took them directly, and maybe she could buy the house today.

After finishing, Lu Lu Qiao and Sister Lu Qiao went to visit the residents who needed a return visit.

Zhang Quan was in good condition, and her mother was taking care of her at home. In the past, the relationship between Zhang's mother and her son-in-law Wei Qiang was average, but now it was very good, and Wei Qiang was also very filial, and currently had no idea of divorcing Zhang Quan.

Lu Lu Qiao looked at Zhang Quan's appearance and knew in her heart that even if they divorced, Zhang Quan's life would be no different from now.

Lu Lu Qiao told her not to forget to exercise, saying that maybe when medicine was developed and there was a specific medicine, she could stand up.

She also gave an example: "My fourth aunt's situation is similar to yours, but she massages every day, otherwise if the muscles atrophy for a long time, then even if medicine is developed, it will be useless."

Zhang Quan smiled and said: "Mm, I can do it myself, and my mother and Wei Qiang are also helping."

After receiving a round of thanks, Lu Lu Qiao and Sister Lu Qiao went to Liu Yu's house; these were all people who needed care.

Liu Xia was at work, and Liu Yu was studying.

Liu Yu didn't need the neighborhood office to continue taking care of him; he originally knew how to cook and do housework.

The house was very clean inside and out.

The sister and brother relied on each other, but clearly, they were living quite well.

The two gave some instructions, left the subsidy for this month, and went to the house of Ya Ya, who was bitten by a dog.

Fortunately, the child recovered well, and no other symptoms were seen.

After asking about it, Lu Lu Qiao said to Sister Lu Qiao: "Let's go, go to my house to eat watermelon; it was sent yesterday, and it's very sweet."

Now agricultural technology was not mature, and watermelons were listed late and the end of the season was early.

The end of the season meant that the vegetables and fruits in the yard were the last round of harvesting, which was the end.

So the current watermelon couldn't be eaten for a few days.

But it couldn't be denied that they were all naturally mature, without any auxiliary means, and were really sandy and sweet and super delicious.

The watermelon was sent by Captain Lin, no, now he could be called Party Secretary Lin, yesterday.

Old Lin was still in Guzi Village, but he could be considered promoted.

After all, in a village, the party secretary had more power than the brigade captain.

Now the brigade captain was surnamed Gu, who was a local villager and a very capable person, and everyone was convinced when he was elected.

Yesterday, Party Secretary Lin let his eldest son, Lin Jun, drive a horse cart to send watermelon. There were also muskmelons, vegetables, and even half a bag of melon seeds on the cart.

Now there were quite a few friends coming to the Old Lu family, and Sun Qin often came to send food.

Yesterday Meng Xia also said that there was a return gift this time, and they could fry melon seeds to send to everyone.

Sister Lu Qiao didn't refuse, followed Lu Lu Qiao to the Lu family, and called her Auntie when she came.

Sister Lu Qiao was in her thirties and started working early, and had been working for twenty years.

Lu Lu Qiao called her Sister Lu Qiao, and she called Meng Xia Auntie.

They ate watermelon happily, and took a pocket of melon seeds. Lu Lu Qiao and Sister Lu Qiao left, and she also told Meng Xia that she wouldn't go home for lunch.

She had to take advantage of the noon time to exchange gold for money at the bank.

Lu Lu Qiao didn't have to ask Old Hu for leave, but she still told him that she was going to the city to talk to Su Su Hongmei about something in the afternoon.

But she didn't say it was about buying a house.

Because if you said this, they would ask where the house was, how big it was, how much it cost, why were you in such a hurry, the unit would allocate houses in the future, and so on.

It was just one sentence that could lead to a bunch of words.

Simply don't mention it.

Lu Lu Qiao ate lunch at the nearby state-run restaurant. The chef's craftsmanship was good, especially the tomato and egg noodles, which were delicious.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Lu Lu Qiao prepared to go to the food factory first, and then go to the bank.

It was estimated that when she arrived at the bank, it would be time for work.

On the way, Lu Lu Qiao got off her bicycle and stood under a big tree waiting for the gray pigeon.

There were people raising pigeons near the bank, so when Lu Lu Qiao arranged today's itinerary, she let the gray pigeon Xiaohui go out.

Although no one suspected it, and no one would think that a pigeon would go to the bank to scout the situation, it was better to be careful.

After a while, at Lu Lu Qiao's call, the gray pigeon flew over and landed on the big tree beside Lu Lu Qiao.

【Little Master, I have inquired about it. The bank has a special gold recycling counter and an appraisal office, but it is not in the lobby, but in a separate office with a special clerk.】

【They won't make things difficult or be picky, because the bank meeting this morning also emphasized that the gold recycling this month was low and the task was not completed, asking the staff below to go out and promote more, and then do a good job of keeping secrets for people who come to sell gold.】

【I also heard the group leader of this counter secretly instruct the female clerk named Liu Min that if someone really brings gold to exchange for money, it's either because they urgently need money or to support national construction. Don't ask questions and scare people away. He said this isn't a police station; if people have introduction letters and proof, they are here to make a contribution.】

【Liu Min whispered to others that there was no need for introduction letters or proof at all, because this regulation scared away so many people. As long as the gold in the other party's hand is real, it would be fine. She said that if these cumbersome things were gone, the bank's gold recycling volume would increase greatly.】

【What I heard and saw in the morning was basically this. Then around nine o'clock, an old lady brought a gold ring to exchange for money. She said her proof was lost, but she had an introduction letter from the neighborhood office, and she was very unhappy, saying that it was so troublesome as if her ring was stolen. If it was really stolen, would she dare to come? If it wasn't to buy a red woolen coat for her granddaughter to wear at her wedding, she wouldn't be reluctant to sell the gold ring to the bank, and the price was so low.】

【At that time, another clerk wanted to criticize the old lady for having low awareness, but was stopped by Liu Min. She handled the procedures with a smile, and after the appraisal, she put the money in the wallet, counted it clearly, and after signing her name, the old lady left.】 ===== CHAPTER 254 =====

Furthermore, the big northern snakehead, the carp, the grass carp, and the old turtle are all very safe now.

The old turtle and the others have also forbidden the fish they are close to from going over to the reed marsh.

It is normal to carry out a comprehensive survey; what if they discover treasure somewhere else?

As long as they don't harm the big northern snakehead and the others, it will be fine.

Lu Lu Qiao warned Tao Tao to be careful and reminded it not to go near the exploration team.

She soon arrived at the food factory to arrange some work; just now, Old Hu told her that the master chef he hired was a special-grade chef who would come tomorrow to guide the work.

It is said that he is a head chef from the Swan Hotel.

Therefore, Lu Lu Qiao asked Meng Qing to quickly clear out an office.

Fortunately, the weather is not that hot anymore.

Speaking of which, it is exactly a cool and pleasant season; if she wants to entertain guests, she can still bring out melons and fruits.

It is a pity there is no refrigerator, otherwise she would prepare more to keep on hand.

After arranging these things, Lu Lu Qiao went to the bank.

When she arrived at the bank, it was exactly time for work.

It was also fortunate that she had good physical strength and a good mental state.

The recovery was very smooth, and Lu Lu Qiao received 2,890 yuan.

Lu Lu Qiao planned to finalize the house matter today; it just so happened that she brought the manual order form from the Residents' Committee.

Su Su Hongmei no longer manages the reconciliation of the order forms.

She now has her own office.

Her rank is Deputy Section Chief.
