Chapter 771: Breaking off relations

Tao Zhuting and Tong Niannian looked at each other, feeling a bit puzzled; even if Lu Qiao was in the canteen, it had nothing to do with whether she could cook or not.

Tong Niannian tilted her head and saw her eldest sister walking out of the living room and standing in the courtyard.

She couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart.

But in fact, she didn't know what Lu Qiao was doing now, only that she had been transferred to the big canteen.

But actually, what's the big deal?

The big canteen is also the big canteen of the Foreign Trade General Bureau, and besides, Lu Qiao didn't go to the big canteen to cook.

Does this have any impact?

So Meng Xiaoxin asking so directly was really meaningless, so Tong Niannian said directly: "Xiaoxin, if you want to know something, just tell us directly, don't beat around the bush, okay?"

If they had spoken like this before, Meng Xiaoxin wouldn't have taken it to heart at all.

Because the three of them had always spoken like this, but now Meng Xiaoxin had to suspend her studies and apologize to Han Jiaqi. Now the whole courtyard knew that she had a bad mouth and spread rumors everywhere, and even Grandpa Lin frowned and criticized her when he saw her.

She heard her grandfather say that Grandpa Lin and Lu Qiao had a very good relationship because Grandpa Lin's youngest son, who had been missing for many years, was found with Lu Qiao's help.

Before he was found, Lu Qiao had also arranged a job for him, making their originally difficult days suddenly become better.

So Grandpa Lin took special care of Lu Qiao.

Unexpectedly, what he said to his wife in the courtyard was overheard by Han Jiaying, who was passing by, and then she made a big deal out of it.

Lu Qiao was the one who was implicated for no reason.

Originally, Meng Xiaoxin didn't want to answer, but she didn't expect that not only Tong Niannian asked, but Tao Zhuting also asked.

Meng Xiaoxin shook her head: "Because I spoke without thinking, I have already been taught a lesson. Even if I have no memory, I won't be stupid enough to run into the muzzle of a gun. I'm just very curious about her, and I really want to hear you talk about her affairs. Really, I don't mean anything else..."

The two looked at Meng Xiaoxin, and Tong Niannian felt that what Meng Xiaoxin said was true, not that complicated, she just wanted to hear what Lu Qiao did at school.

What did Lu Qiao do at school?

She is now the vice-chair of the External Liaison Department and is preparing to take these students to the site for internships and visits as volunteers for the spring trade fair next year.

Students want to organize activities, which requires funds.

Lu Qiao can quickly pull in supporting funds or materials.

She organized a barter event on a basketball court at school.

It is said that this is something she is used to doing.

She notified these students half a month in advance.

The notice also told everyone to use the idle items in their hands to exchange for the items you need.

Maybe the items you need are items the other party doesn't need.

It doesn't necessarily have to be something you bought with money; it can also be something you made yourself.

For example, the school has reed grass suitable for weaving, which can be used to weave some storage boxes and pen holders; some people like to knit sweaters and can knit scarves. Winter is coming soon, and scarves are also necessities.

This activity did not extend to the whole school, but only within a certain range. After all, the venue was limited, and the school didn't want too many people, worrying about any uncontrollable changes.

But this barter event lasted from Sunday morning until night.

Although it couldn't be said that everyone was satisfied, as far as the two of them knew, there were several families with poor conditions, but they were indeed good at weaving these things.

Then they used the small items woven from reed grass to exchange for cotton shoes, cotton coats, scarves, and hats.

They could even exchange for grain coupons and cloth coupons.

The things exchanged according to the degree of newness were also different.

Meng Xiaoxin's eyes were filled with envy; if only she were also at school, how good that would be.

Her family had taught her a lesson several times, and she naturally kept it in mind.

After all, the price paid this time was too high.

Even if there were still some misunderstandings in her heart, she didn't dare to go against the elders.

Then Meng Xiaoxin also discovered that Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting seemed to be different from before.

So she blurted out: "No wonder the older generation in our courtyard always likes to say, 'Birds follow the phoenix to fly far, people accompany the virtuous and moral,' having such a friend and classmate is really too lucky."

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting stared in unison.

What do you mean, saying we are not good friends and cannot help you make progress?

It's already very kind of us not to blame you for implicating us.

Speaking of which, wasn't this incident caused by you, Meng Xiaoxin?

Weren't we doing it for you and for your fourth brother?

As a result, you said such things!

Tong Niannian immediately changed her face: "Since you think I can't help you and am not worthy of being your friend, then why are you still looking for me?"

Meng Xiaoxin also changed her face: "I just said it casually, why are you being so aggressive? Is that what I meant?"

"That's exactly what you meant, you just dislike that the two of us couldn't help you, otherwise how could you say such things?

And why are you asking about Lu Qiao? How could she be friends with you, keep dreaming!"

Meng Xiaoxin looked in disbelief at the two best friends she had ever had, who were also good partners who grew up together, what people call childhood sweethearts.

She really didn't mean to blame the two of them, and besides, she had already apologized to them, what else did they want from her?

Now she had almost no friends in the courtyard, only the two of them talked to her, and she was really moved.

As for Lu Qiao, she was the first girl she had met since she grew up who was different from others.

She felt that there was a kind of information about a strong person on her, the kind that makes people admire.

Isn't it normal for her to pay more attention to her?

It shouldn't be enough for them to be so sarcastic to her!

Meng Xiaoxin cried out with a "wow," and then ran away without looking back.

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting looked at each other.

Tao Zhuting said: "She's angry, what should we do?"

Tong Niannian also scratched her head: "She's asking about Lu Qiao so nervously, I'm worried she's going to do something bad. Forget it, she's not going to school, and her family has taught her a lesson. She has no friends in the courtyard, let's not provoke her."

"But we've already provoked her, she even cried..." Tao Zhuting suddenly felt uncomfortable, and felt quite sad in her heart.

Tong Niannian also felt uncomfortable: "Should we go see her?"

After all, they were together, they should go see her.

At this time, Eldest Sister Tong walked out and shouted: "Niannian, Mom is calling you."

So Meng Xiaoxin didn't see the two chasing after her, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Walking to the gate of her house, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, stood for a long while, and then pushed the door to enter the courtyard.

She found her grandfather who happened to be at home and said straight to the point: "Grandpa, you know Lu Qiao, right? I want to be friends with her, is this difficult?"

Grandpa Meng took off his reading glasses, looked at this granddaughter who gave people a headache, and said slowly: "Naturally, treat people with sincerity. If you exchange sincerity for sincerity, you will definitely have a harvest." ===== CHAPTER 772 =====
