Chapter 351
The next morning, after Lu Qiaoge washed up, she went downstairs with Qin Hengzhi, who was waiting at the door, to have breakfast.
Aunt Guo's husband was a logistics worker at the compound, and her home was in the building at the northwest corner of the compound.
She went home to live every day, but it wasn't far; it only took a few minutes by bicycle.
When Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi went downstairs, breakfast was already laid out, and it must be said, it was much more sumptuous than at the Lu house.
Freshly fried dough sticks, freshly steamed buns, millet porridge, and a plate of steamed sweet potatoes, pickled vegetables, and cold-dressed dishes, as well as pure soy milk.
In short, everything was very appetizing.
At breakfast, Qin Ruixue was still not seen, and as for the Cao side, after they left last night, Cao Jing had quieted down and was subsequently sent to her room by her mother to rest.
The Cao family didn't reveal any useful information.
It was just known that Lu Qiaoge's second aunt and Cao Jing had once been comrades-in-arms.
Come to think of it, if there really were something, it would be limited to just a few people knowing.
Or perhaps, this matter is only known to Cao Jing alone?
Lu Qiaoge simply let Little Cangcang go off to play, no need to watch the Cao family; she would wait until it was confirmed that the person was her second aunt.
And last night, when Master Qin and Grandma Qin returned, it was already very late.
Lu Qiaoge heard Qin Hengzhi's footsteps going downstairs and also heard them talking downstairs.
It sounded like it went smoothly.
Come to think of it, Master Qin had gone personally, so the Gu family couldn't refuse to give him face, and since things had reached this point, they couldn't really become enemies.
So today, everything followed Master Qin's arrangements.
For example, taking Qin Ruixue to divorce Gu Jingwen in the morning.
And this matter didn't require Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge.
Grandma Qin also knew that Lu Qiaoge still had things to do, so after breakfast, she urged them to go do what they needed to do, saying they didn't need to worry about the people at home.
Thus, Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge went to the Jiangcheng office in the capital.
Qin Hengzhi wasn't wearing his military uniform today, but was wearing a trench coat just like Lu Qiaoge.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they attracted the gazes of passersby as soon as they got out of the car.
The office was in the west of the city. After asking a middle-aged woman wearing a red armband, the other party told them that the Jiangcheng office was on the first floor of the building ahead.
Even after they had walked far away, the old woman was still watching with a smile; it was the first time she had seen such good-looking young people, it was truly a feast for the eyes.
After entering the office and introducing themselves, Lu Qiaoge gave Director Zhou's letter to the director of the office, sat down, and talked for a while. The other party was very enthusiastic, especially towards Qin Hengzhi.
Qin Hengzhi was a local of the capital; having someone local is always better than having no one. If something came up, even if the other party couldn't help, it was good to be pointed in the right direction or told who to find.
Of course, they were just as kind to Lu Qiaoge.
After handling things here, they went to Zhen Xi and General Manager You's clothing counter.
It was right in the foreign trade section of the First Department Store, in a very conspicuous position. It wasn't an unlimited supply; it required a special type of voucher, which Qin Hengzhi had in his hand, given to him by Grandma Qin.
Bai Jinyan had also stuffed a large stack of money and various vouchers into Qin Hengzhi's hand, estimated to be over two thousand yuan, telling him to buy things for Lu Qiaoge.
At this time, Qin Hengzhi didn't ask Lu Qiaoge what she needed, but just went to queue up, and when it was their turn, Qin Hengzhi bought everything that looked good.
While buying, he also said to Lu Qiaoge: "You take what you can wear, and I'll take what you can't back to Jiangcheng."
That worked too.
Lu Qiaoge didn't object.
There were really quite a few clothes and daily necessities she liked here.
The things at the First Department Store were basically the best. Qin Hengzhi bought Lu Qiaoge wool sweaters, short woolen coats, and woolen trousers, etc.
Qin Hengzhi also bought scarves for Grandma Lu and Meng Xia.
He also managed to buy a cotton-padded jacket. As for winter shoes, Qin Hengzhi said he had ordered two pairs of military boots for her, which were lined with wool inside and would be very warm even in the dead of winter.
He also bought vanishing cream, milk candies, fruit candies, and tea as return gifts, all of which were wrapped separately.
The canvas bag was packed full. Qin Hengzhi went to the stationery counter and bought Lu Qiaoge a fountain pen.
Lu Qiaoge took it with a smile; fountain pens were also one of the luxury items nowadays, especially those of good quality.
Carrying a spare one was also quite good.
Lu Qiaoge was in a very good mood; when buying, buying, buying, people are naturally happy.
Qin Hengzhi was also smiling, putting the things he bought into the car. Lu Qiaoge got in, and Qin Hengzhi said to her: "I have a house in Haitang Hutong, it's a separate little courtyard, I'll take you to see it."
Lu Qiaoge knew Qin Hengzhi had a house; it was his own private property. Only after going there did she realize that although this area wouldn't be demolished in the future, it would be renovated and protected.
In other words, you might not be able to live there, but you would be given a large sum of money.
But if you didn't want the money, that was fine too; in short, your property is yours to decide.
But in reality, living here certainly wouldn't be comfortable, after all, the view was too low, and it was in a bustling area.
The house was empty, but one could tell that someone came to clean it often, just like the house Lu Qiaoge had in Jiangcheng. She had also given the keys to her family, and Meng Xia and Grandma Lu would go to check on it when they were free, or light a fire to warm up the house.
Although the Lu family all felt that buying this house was useless, purely looking for trouble and wasting money.
But as for what it was specifically for, naturally only Lu Qiaoge knew.
This day was like running from one event to another, but one had to admit that youth is good; physical strength and mental state were at their most beautiful.
So when they went home in the evening, no fatigue could be seen.
Qin Ruixue was still not seen, but Bai Jinyan told Qin Hengzhi that the divorce procedures had already been completed.
Anyway, they had never been together, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief once they were divorced.
As for the Cao side, there were still no useful clues.
When Lu Qiaoge left the compound, Cao Jing had already returned to normal, and even stood by the roadside and smiled at her.
As for that Director Lu, Qin Hengzhi gave the investigated information to Lu Qiaoge.
To be able to reach this position, especially as the director of the Political Department, one didn't need to think that her background could definitely withstand investigation.
Lu Qiaoge put these aside; what happened next would depend on Sun Lao.
When Lu Qiaoge received the call that the Jiangcheng delegation had already set off, Sun Lao had also made arrangements on his end.
Sun Lao had a separate clinic, which had been newly opened up.
Inside, everything Sun Lao needed had already been prepared.
Lu Qiaoge asked Sun Lao to provide something to hold water, such as a large water vat or plastic water jugs.
Sun Lao truly didn't ask, but just as Lu Qiaoge said, had the other party prepare a large vat and several plastic water jugs with a capacity of twenty-five kilograms.
When the things were delivered, they were also disinfected.
Sun Lao cleverly hid away, saying he was going to study treatment plans with a chief physician from the other side.
Then Lu Qiaoge put the water from her space into the vat and the plastic barrels.
When Sun Lao returned, Lu Qiaoge only told him that using this water when decocting medicine might have some unexpected effects, though perhaps not, but at least there would be no harm.
