Chapter 482

Qu Caifeng's daughter and son were not too sad or unable to live without their mother; they didn't cry or shout, and the little girl, in particular, seemed to feel a sense of relief.

Then, when the children's grandparents learned that Qu Caifeng often beat the two children, especially the girl who was beaten the most, they only hoped in their hearts that Qu Caifeng would die on the farm, which would be for the best.

So even if it was hard, they wouldn't hand the two children over to Qu Caifeng.

The children were taken away by their grandparents, and the house changed hands.

Mother Cheng truly regretted it; it was the one regretful thing she had done in her life, and she had been tormented to the point of almost losing her life.

Feeling ashamed to face her son and daughter-in-law, she insisted on returning to her hometown.

Lin Xiaomin and Cheng Wen didn't force her to stay; returning to her hometown was fine, as this matter needed time to digest.

Lin Xiaomin didn't know what to use to thank Lu Qiaoge; if it weren't for Lu Qiaoge, that Qu Caifeng would still be lurking in the dark like a venomous snake.

Just thinking about it made her feel incredibly disgusted.

Fortunately, Lu Qiaoge was there.

After pondering for a few days, Lin Xiaomin had a sudden inspiration; she had learned to draw with a soldering iron from her father when she was a child, and she could burn two paintings for Lu Qiaoge.

She thought of the subjects immediately, and the patterns were already in her mind: one was "A Hundred Years of Harmony," and the other was "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity."

Cheng Wen asked: "Isn't soldering iron painting a bit rustic?"

Lin Xiaomin rolled her eyes at him: "What do you know? You just be responsible for finding me suitable wooden boards."

This wasn't difficult.

Cheng Wen was a classmate of the deputy director of a local furniture factory, and their relationship was quite good.

But Cheng Wen had never seen soldering iron painting and was hearing about it for the first time, but he believed in his wife's ability. His wife was famous now, and the manuscript for her second comic book had also been mailed off; it was a story specifically requested by the other party over the phone.

And his wife had also taken the initiative to teach basic drawing knowledge to the cadres of the craft factory; regardless of whether the effect was great or not, it was his wife's sincerity.

Cheng Wen looked at Lin Xiaomin with a smile and readily agreed: "Okay, don't worry, I guarantee it will be handled properly."

Director Lu called Lu Qiaoge, and Lu Qiaoge greeted him very respectfully.

This person was an old cadre who had been engaged in foreign trade work for many years; he was very gentle and had a good relationship with Old Master Qin.

Although he was in an office specifically responsible for the import and export affairs of the Xiang Yang Food Factory, he would also provide support and attention to other enterprises.

Director Lu said in a kind voice: "Little Lu, you really guessed it. According to reliable information we received, the financial groups of those three countries have really united. We don't know the specific implementation plan yet. But it should be to control the main raw material for instant noodles, which is wheat flour. Don't worry, we are currently trying our best to facilitate several orders for imported high-gluten wheat flour. However, you must be mentally prepared that the import price of wheat flour will rise this year."

The shelf life of wheat flour is generally 2-3 years, but this is under good storage conditions.

Therefore, even if they started stocking up now, it was impossible to stock up on flour for five years.

The intention from above was still to hope to earn a large amount of foreign exchange through instant noodles during this stage.

The development of things is phased.

As long as they survived this period, the sky would be the limit.

Lu Qiaoge said: "Director, I understand. Thank you to the leaders above for their concern for the food factory. Please rest assured about one thing. In terms of quality and standards, we will not let the other party find any faults..."

Director Lu chuckled on the other end.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Lu Qiaoge on the phone: "On the surface, it is like this, but in fact, we have a plan that is about to be launched."

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.

What kind of plan could this be?

Suddenly, she remembered the Longhua Company in Hong Kong.

She also remembered that Zhen Xi had once told her that the general manager of Longhua Company had invited him to dinner.

At the dinner table, they talked about future cooperation.

This Longhua Company was our own company.

It was established before the founding of the People's Republic.

It was inconvenient to talk about such things on the phone, and Director Lu stopped at the right point.

He asked with concern about the current production situation of the food factory.

Then he told Lu Qiaoge to call this number anytime if she had anything.

This was an internal line, and someone was always on duty.

Lu Qiaoge hung up the phone.

This was about the same as she had imagined.

Being able to get more support was naturally a good thing.

As for the fact that there was an extra office and an extra Director Lu above, in Lu Qiaoge's view, it was not a hindrance at all, but rather an escort.

The Xiang Yang Food Factory could not always be attached to the Neighborhood Office.

And this kind of food was not a phased historical product. Even in the future decades later, it would still be a sales giant in the food industry.

Therefore, this office should also be preparing for the future.

Lu Qiaoge naturally didn't take it to heart; she took her whole family to a hillside on Yuanbao Mountain.

Of course, this whole family was not Lu Qiaoge's parents and family, but her group of furry little cuties.

She received the news from Little Cangcang.

At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, Taotao and Nini, the two little swallows that flew abroad to spend the winter, would arrive in Jiangcheng today.

Lu Qiaoge originally wanted to ask why they didn't go home, but suddenly remembered that the Lu family area was already being demolished.

"When the river opens in the eighth nine, the wild geese come in the ninth nine, and after the ninth nine plus one nine, the plow oxen walk all over the land."

This "wild geese come in the eighth nine" refers to the general season when house swallows return.

Jiangcheng in April was in the early spring season.

The earth was reviving, the ice and snow were melting, the black soil was becoming moist and soft, and the ice floes on that big river had long since run out.

Lu Qiaoge had also been taken by Qin Hengzhi to eat the river-opening fish.

At this time, it was the season when grass and trees were sprouting and the spring atmosphere was just beginning to appear.

Willow branches had sprouted goose-yellow new buds, and poplar trees were covered with furry catkins.

Dandelions on the hillside had also sprouted tender buds; after leaving the city, one could see people digging for this kind of wild vegetable everywhere.

And spring plowing had long since begun.

Naturally, the swallows should be back too.

Lu Qiaoge was not without worry before this.

Hearing Little Cangcang's report yesterday, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

After the little guys discussed it, they prepared to welcome Taotao and Nini on the hillside where the swallows took off last year.

It was not yet known how Taotao and Nini's three babies were doing.

The three sparrows, Little Cangcang, and the gray pigeon followed Lu Qiaoge, who had asked for leave, running in the forest.

The others were all staying in Lu Qiaoge's space.

The big dogfish and the big shark were also put into the space by Lu Qiaoge.

It didn't take long for Lu Qiaoge to arrive at this hillside.

Lu Qiaoge was wearing a woolen coat.

She was wearing a scarf around her neck.

Although it was already spring, Jiangcheng's spring was worthy of being called chilly.

Especially since the temperature in the wild was a few degrees lower than in the city.

But this hillside felt warm because the sun had come out.

Lu Qiaoge saw a large patch of dandelions where she landed.

People here didn't like to call dandelions "dandelions," they liked to call them "Popoding."

Lu Qiaoge glanced around.

This forest was very quiet.

Lu Qiaoge let out all the other little cuties she had put in the space; of course, this didn't include the ones in the water.

However, the two turtles did come out together...
