Chapter 824: There Are Also People Blocking Bullets for You

~8 min read 1,530 words

Along the way, she vented all her resentment on Lu Qiao, her spit flying in the cold wind: "If it weren't for you, this broom star, corrupting the atmosphere, how could Kang Yuxing propose divorce? I don't believe there is nowhere to reason! A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years!"

She decided to write a letter to Beidu to complain, determined to pull down the source of this unhealthy atmosphere—Lu Qiao—and make her lose her reputation!

At this time, Lu Qiao really didn't know Kong Fanrong was going crazy; she had already left Jiangcheng and was sitting on a speeding train.

This was a specially organized train, with several freight cars in the middle loaded with special materials, which were military industry parts, and passenger cars hanging at the front and back.

The rear of the carriage where Lu Qiao was, several open cars were filled with mountain goods, wild game, and whole frozen ducks, big geese, and even half a freight car of pork that she had purchased for the General Administration of Foreign Trade.

Before leaving, she had already contacted Director Lin, who was overjoyed and said repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "Qiao, you really helped a lot. In this day and age, being able to have these goods is simply a miracle. I have already prepared the funds; we will settle the account when you come."

Although this year wasn't as tight as the previous few years, materials were still in short supply, especially as the end of the year approached, it was even more a case of many monks and little gruel. Every unit was worrying about the New Year benefits for their employees. Lu Qiao's batch of goods undoubtedly solved the urgent needs of the General Administration of Foreign Trade.

And Qin Hengzhi, wearing a crisp military uniform, stood on the platform to see her off.

The whistle of the steam locomotive was deafening, and white smoke was rolling.

He looked at the slowly starting train, looked at the beautiful figure waving in the carriage window, and stood there for a long time, pondering in his heart: We can't continue to live apart like this. It's time to speed up the process; perhaps I can end my term as a military representative early and apply to be transferred back to Beidu.

The journey was generally smooth, except for stopping for three hours to clear snow due to a sudden blizzard on the way, there were no other twists and turns.

That evening, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the strong wind rolled snow particles like sand, slapping against the carriage window and making a crackling sound.

The train was forced to stop at a small station.

Outside the window, the wind and snow were raging, and the visibility was less than ten meters.

The heavy snow buried the tracks, and basically everyone on the train got off.

Everyone was clearing snow enthusiastically. No one was willing to let Lu Qiao, this delicate female comrade, get off the train. Several young soldiers even formed a human wall to block the door of her carriage, fearing that a slip would roll her into the snow nest, and they wouldn't be able to answer to Representative Qin.

Lu Qiao had no choice but to stay in the carriage, looking at the busy crowd outside through the frosted glass.

She quietly added a bit of spiritual spring water from the space into the boiling water kettle. The invisible energy steamed and spread with the heat. She shared a little with every comrade who came to get water, hoping to help everyone enhance their resistance and resist this bone-chilling cold.

But actually, she was an energy source in the car.

After the snow was cleared, the train continued north. The clattering sound of the wheels hitting the tracks became steady again, and it finally arrived in Beidu.

There weren't many people at Beidu Station, but the weather was cold, and the breath of everyone had frozen into white frost on their eyebrows and eyelashes.

Director Lin really brought a team to wait, and the formation wasn't small, with several staff members carrying large scales and account books following behind.

Seeing Lu Qiao, she excitedly stepped forward and shook her hand, shaking it hard: "Qiao, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to get so many good things, especially those pork, chicken, ducks, and geese, all with thick fat and oil; it really solved a big problem! Now, the New Year goods for the General Administration's employees have a place to land!"

Before the pleasantries were finished, she patted Lu Qiao's arm again and lowered her voice: "I have already prepared the money; go to the General Administration and we will talk in detail. You go home and rest first; look, your mother-in-law has also come to pick you up." After finishing, she signaled toward the exit.

Lu Qiao looked in that direction and saw Bai Jinyan. Bai Jinyan was wearing a gray woolen coat and a scarf, and hadn't entered the station because some freight cars needed to be exchanged and hung here to continue north, and the scene was in a state of martial law, with idlers not allowed to enter.

Lu Qiao took the things Bai Jinxin entrusted her to bring to her sister—two bulging canvas bags—off the train and walked toward the exit.

This trip to Beidu was tight, and there was almost no time to talk and chat with her mother.

But she also took time to visit Bai Jinxin and Uncle Bai.

Although Old Man Bai had retired, he still lived in a sanatorium.

That woman who had once made a mess, somehow, actually took her young son and followed the old man to the sanatorium.

Lu Qiao wasn't interested in the specific reason either, only listening to Bai Jinxin complain to her.

At that time, Bai Jinxin had a sneer and disappointment on the corner of her mouth: "My father, that person, always has heartless words on his lips, but now you can see it, right? After getting along for so many years, he still has feelings for that woman. Otherwise, how could he let that woman live here for so long?

To tell the truth, for a person like my father, if he wanted to clean up that woman, he would have a hundred ways, but did he use them?

He didn't use them!

Others thought he took the person away because he found it troublesome, but isn't this actually a kind of compromise?

One is willing to hit and one is willing to suffer; anyway, that's how it is."

Afterward, Bai Jinxin turned her head, looked at Lu Qiao with deep eyes, and said earnestly: "Although I am Qin Hengzhi's relative, I also favor reason over relatives. You two living apart like this isn't a matter either. No matter what, in his bones, he is also a man. He looks good on the outside, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes; girls can't help but steal a few glances when they see him. I think you two should reunite early; don't let those idlers take advantage of the loopholes."

Lu Qiao responded with a smile, though slowly, every word was clear: "If I married someone else, maybe I would think men are all like this; even if I am beautiful as a flower, he would have a day when he gets tired of looking. But Qin Hengzhi, he is different!"

Bai Jinxin was just saying it, and seeing that the two had such a good relationship, she was still very happy.

And at this time, Lu Qiao had already taken the things Bai Jinxin gave her to bring to her sister and met with Bai Jinyan, who was picking her up, in the crowd at the exit.

Bai Jinyan looked at Lu Qiao up and down with a smile, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes stretching out, and said with complaint: "Knowing that you were blocked by the blizzard, I was really so worried! The broadcast said the lines over there were all interrupted. Hengzhi is also, couldn't he ask for leave to send you over? I even criticized him on the phone..."

"Mom, it was beautiful weather when we got on the train, and the weather forecast also said there was no wind or snow. Who knew there would suddenly be wind and snow? This is called 'heaven has unpredictable clouds'." Lu Qiao held her mother-in-law's arm and explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Jinyan sighed and said very melancholically: "When will our country have its own satellites, so we can see this piece of sky clearly?"

Lu Qiao also looked toward the pitch-black starry sky.

It's really quite difficult now; lacking technology and also lacking money.

Even she, Lu Qiao... besides using her supernatural power to go to a few developed countries... to steal data and steal technology, and then invest heavily in the Meteorological Research Institute, otherwise there is really no way.

According to the historical process, it probably won't be until ten years later. ===== CHAPTER 825 =====
