Chapter 59

Meng Xia was also shocked: "How did you know?"

Then she said: "Could it be that your Aunt Huang said it? But she doesn't seem to know."

Lu Qiao: "I don't know where you can go, Mom, but I know what positions you have this time. Important production units like the workshop steel factory certainly can't go. The big cafeteria is managed by Shen Yun's father. No matter what, they won't assign you there. The department store needs young people, Mom, you are not suitable either. But the children's school is expanding and needs school workers. This is not limited by age, and this time our family was rumored, the factory didn't dare to make things difficult for us. I guess nine out of ten it will be the school."

Lu Qiao shook the water droplets on her hands. If it weren't for the rumor incident, Meng Xia might have gone to the cafeteria. According to her age and experience, going to the big cafeteria to work was the most suitable, and like Meng Xia, she quite liked going to the big cafeteria.

But the children's school was also quite good, and it wasn't far from home.

Lu Qiao glanced at Old Lady Lu and said: "Of course, there is also my grandmother's face."

Old Lady Lu smiled and didn't believe it: "Really or fake? You girl will only coax people."

Lu Qiao: "You are a martyr's family member. Shen Yun and the others actually dared to spread rumors about you. They really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Speaking of martyr's family members, Old Lady Lu was obviously a bit sad, but it had been so many years. Those who are alive must look forward.

Lu Qiao sat beside Old Lady Lu and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, that swallow brought back a blade of grass this morning, and then Xiao Si ate it. Do you know?"

Old Lady Lu was immediately distracted and also lowered her voice and said: "I know about this. You told me that day and I paid attention to it."

Then she said to Lu Qiao: "Don't tell your father about this. Your father is an old stubborn, and your mother might not be at ease either. Just the few of us know."

This was coaxing a child. Lu Qiao wouldn't really believe it, because Old Lady Lu would definitely tell them privately.

The effect of saying this directly was not good, but it was much smoother to tell them through Old Lady Lu.

Maybe there would be unexpected effects.

Lu Qiao didn't go to the neighborhood office in the afternoon. She took the twelve people from the service station to make all the mud bricks needed for the wall, and then moved the bricks and tiles that could be used to the vicinity of the house.

Meng Qingshan looked at it carefully and said to Lu Qiao: "If we don't go to the Construction Engineering Department to borrow tools, we can use that large tree that was blown down to make a ladder."

Some of the tools for these people to work were taken from their own homes, and some were from the neighborhood office.

But if they made a ladder themselves, it would be good. There were many people with craftsmanship among her twelve people.

And once it was made, it would be a fixed asset of the service station in the future.

When Lu Qiao turned around the courtyard wall, she saw three or four old ladies sitting under the tree talking not far away.

Lu Qiao walked toward the north side of the night school, but still clearly heard their conversation.

"You said that tree broke too strangely. It broke at the waist. Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"Are you thinking too much? The storm was so big that night, it's normal for branches to break. Look at the volunteers working at the night school. Didn't they clean up the branches in the drainage ditch a few days ago?"

"You said they were branches, it's normal for them to break, but this is a large elm tree that is more than ten years old. How could it break at the waist? If there was such a big wind, wouldn't our roofs all be blown up?"

"You said this matter is indeed strange. Not long after the large tree broke here, Master Liu's youngest son took a kitchen knife and wanted to chop Li Ying."

Two old ladies pointed to the yellow mud pond not far away.

Saying it was a yellow mud pond, it was actually just called by everyone casually. Strictly speaking, this area should be called Xiang Yang Night School.

Behind it was the family area. The yellow mud pond now was actually an empty space.

It used to be a water pond. At that time, the military factory didn't have as many people as it does now, and there weren't many family houses here. Later, after the accident, the factory leaders felt that this place was very dangerous, and keeping such a mud pond was not very useful, so they filled it in.

When the military factory expanded, the Construction Section came here to turn around, but in the end, they didn't build the tube buildings here. It is said that there is permafrost below, and this kind of swamp area is not suitable for building buildings. After a long time, the first floor will sink.

So it was left idle for the time being.

An old lady continued: "I heard from Master Liu's neighbor that Liu Yu, that child, took a kitchen knife to chop Li Ying. Everyone asked him why, and he said Li Ying killed his mother."

"Heaven, then... did he say how she killed her?"

"Who knows? It's been more than ten years. The yellow mud pond has been filled in. No one knows what the situation was at that time."

"Liu Yu is also a pitiful child. He has an older sister above him, who is said to have been sent away by his father, and there has been no news until now."

"I tell you, don't always say how vicious Li Ying is. The one who is not a thing is Master Liu. That is his biological son. Look at what he raised his biological son into. He tried every means to get Li Ying's son by someone else into the workshop as an apprentice, but sent his own son to a shoe repair shop outside to help. That child is thin and small. Is the father so blind that he can't see it? He really has no human flavor at all."

"Such a person, still wants to be an advanced worker, I spit. I will be the first to vote against it."

"The large elm tree broke, maybe it's Liu Yu's biological mother who is worried about her son."

"Alright, alright, let's just talk behind our backs. Don't tell the younger generation when you go home, or they will criticize us for engaging in feudal superstition again."

Several old ladies glanced at the night school, and sure enough, they didn't continue this topic, but continued to sew the shoe soles in their hands.

Now many people like to wear shoes they make themselves.

Although a bit earthy, Lu Qiao felt that the shoes she made were very comfortable to wear.

She was wearing them on her feet now.

Lu Qiao didn't specifically ask the tabby cat to inquire about any news.

Mainly because Lu Qiao was prepared to poke out the matter of the bookcase tomorrow, and the time was almost up.

But she didn't expect that when Lu Qiao went to the unit the next day to prepare to report work to Director Hu, she found that Director Hu was not in the office.

And the expressions of the people in the office were a bit strange.

Shao Le was not at the Security Office today either. Seeing Lu Qiao coming, he hurriedly said to her: "It's possible that a big case will come out here."

Lu Qiao asked along the way: "What exactly is going on? I see everyone's expressions don't seem right."

"You didn't come yesterday afternoon. You don't know that at noon, Director Hu, Officer Liu, and I went to Master Liu's house again. When we went in, their whole family was eating, but we didn't see Liu Yu. Then Director Hu asked where Liu Yu went. Master Liu lied and said the child ran out to play. Then we heard movement in the utility room. When we went to see... you said Master Liu is really ruthless, tying the child up, stuffing a rag in his mouth, and putting him in the corner. Master Liu was eating and drinking with peace of mind."

Shao Le shook his head. He didn't understand it at all.
