Chapter 828: Really Wrong!
Lu Qiao didn't know a single word of these conversations that happened in the living room downstairs.
Because she didn't let Little Cangcang listen at all. Such family admonitions, listening to them was neither beneficial nor energy-consuming, and it was also very impolite.
But Beidu was also the territory of Little Cangcang and the others. Besides Huahua and the others, Rat Da and Rat Er all came out of the space. Night was also the world of the little cuties. No matter how cold the winter was, it still couldn't stop their enthusiasm.
These few went to find the gray pigeons.
Xiaohui is now the Pigeon King in this area of Beidu.
As long as it is willing, it can easily lure a group of wild pigeons to join its tribe.
And even pigeons raised by others.
It's just that it has this ability, but it never abuses it.
In Xiaohui's view, what if causing unnecessary attention and probing affects its little master's peace?
So it has always had a sense of proportion, acting cautiously and carefully, deeply understanding the principle of self-preservation.
This point is actually quite similar to its little master, Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao let them play as they pleased, while she organized her recent itinerary and quickly determined what needed to be done recently.
Tomorrow she would go shopping with Qin Ruixue. She didn't specifically promise her, just because she also wanted to go.
She had to go to the foreign trade counter to check how the specialty counter set up by Zhen Xi was doing now.
She also had to look at the sales volume and styles of the sweaters.
Of course, she also had to buy some daily necessities.
For the time being, she wouldn't go to the small courtyard in the hutong that she and Qin Hengzhi had.
She would just stay in the courtyard these few days.
After arranging her recent itinerary, Lu Qiao went to sleep after washing up.
The next morning, Lu Qiao went downstairs. Aunt Guo had already made breakfast. The old man and the old lady were eating. They were all one family; whoever came ate, without so many rules. Qin Ruixue also got up quite early; she probably didn't sleep well last night, and now her complexion looked average.
But when she saw Lu Qiao, her eyes still lit up.
If it weren't for Lu Qiao, she wouldn't even be allowed to go out of the courtyard gate.
She really needed to thank Lu Qiao.
There was no need to say anything at the dinner table. After eating breakfast, Lu Qiao and Qin Ruixue prepared to go out.
Grandma Qin just exhorted them to pay attention to safety, and didn't say anything else.
After the two went out, they found it was really cold today.
"Qiao, is the car... is the car easy to drive?" Qin Ruixue put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket, her tone carrying probing.
Lu Qiao smiled: "It's easy to drive, let's go, get in the car, there is heating in the car."
That jeep that Qin Hengzhi specifically applied for Lu Qiao was parked in the garage of the small car squad in the courtyard.
Lu Qiao skillfully started the car, a puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, and then the engine made a roar. Most cars of that era didn't have heating or the heating was very weak, but compared to walking on the street facing the northwest wind, it was already a world of difference.
At the end of January 1978, the city of Beidu was in the middle of midwinter.
The continuous north wind rolled up dry snow foam, blowing the entire Beijing city gray and cold.
The moat was frozen with thick ice, and the bare willow branches on the bank, even without leaves, still proudly swayed in the cold wind.
Qin Ruixue sat in the passenger seat, looking at Lu Qiao's focused profile as she held the steering wheel with one hand and looked straight ahead, and that unclear feeling surged up again in her heart.
Also a woman, Lu Qiao lived like a lump of charcoal burning vigorously in this ice and snow, while she herself was like a withered branch frozen and cracked on the side of the road.
Was it wrong? Really wrong!
She is just a vicious woman.
If life could start over, she would absolutely not marry Gu Jingwen.
It's a pity, life has no "if"!
The car bumped and drove out of the courtyard, passed through the quiet hutong, and merged into Da'an Street.
Although it was midwinter, the street was still full of people.
The stove selling roasted sweet potatoes was emitting rolling heat; there was no shouting, but the smell seemed to spread out for a mile.
The streets of the Long Kingdom now were basically all bicycles, and of course, there were also buses.
At this time, the ringing of bicycle bells and the bus stop announcements formed the unique rhythm of this era.
Lu Qiao parked the jeep in the open space near the Friendship Store, and then the two walked into the Wangfujing Department Store.
The heating in the building was considered okay. At this time, there were many people, and the voices were noisy. The sales clerks stood behind the high counters, holding abacuses and clattering away at the prices.
Qin Ruixue looked at the dazzling array of goods, her eyes revealing a trace of novelty. Although she grew up locally, she had been doing labor reform in other places in recent years, and was actually a bit unfamiliar with this kind of bustling city fireworks.
"Qiao, look at this cashmere sweater; the style is quite new." Qin Ruixue pointed to a rice-white sweater in the glass cabinet; it was a very fashionable style at the time.
Lu Qiao nodded; this was goods from Haicheng, the price was very expensive, and it required a special ticket to buy.
Just as Lu Qiao was about to continue looking, a sharp and mocking voice came from behind: "Oh my, isn't this Qin Ruixue? Haven't you frozen to death outside yet? Why, rolled back from the Great Northwest?"
Lu Qiao and Qin Ruixue turned their heads at the same time.
Only to see a young woman wearing a fashionable red woolen coat and a knitted scarf around her neck standing there with her arms crossed, and she was followed by two female companions dressed in the same way.
This woman's name was Lin Yin, and she was Gu Jingwen's cousin.
Back then, Qin Ruixue took a fancy to Gu Jingwen of the Gu family and set a trap, forcing Gu Jingwen to have to marry her.
This marriage was a tragedy from the beginning. Later, Gu Jingwen became seriously ill, and it was Lu Qiao who invited the famous doctor Sun Lao, who pulled him back from the gates of hell.
Now Gu Jingwen has divorced Qin Ruixue and regained his freedom, but perhaps he was afraid of Qin Ruixue, so Gu Jingwen has already taken his wife and left the Long Kingdom to go abroad for railway aid again.
Lin Yin saw Qin Ruixue as if she had seen something dirty, and the disdain in her eyes was undisguised.
Qin Ruixue's face changed instantly, and shame and annoyance arose spontaneously. She clenched her clothes tightly with her fingers, and the scene of being lectured by her family one after another last night appeared in her mind again.
She took a deep breath, hard-pressed to suppress the impulse to retort, but only glared coldly at Lin Yin without speaking.
Seeing that Qin Ruixue actually didn't take the bait, but instead acted like a punching bag, Lin Yin felt bored, so she turned the spearhead toward Lu Qiao.
She didn't know Lu Qiao, but she could guess that the beautiful girl shopping with Qin Ruixue at this time must be Lu Qiao.
She also knew the Gu family's attitude toward Lu Qiao, so naturally, she didn't dare to mock her, but her eyeballs turned and she opened her mouth: "You must be Factory Director Xiao Lu, right? I've heard about you many times from Jiayan; you are really amazing.
But let me tell you, your sister-in-law Qin Ruixue is not a good thing.
They all say that if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? Staying away from her will be good for you." ===== CHAPTER 829 =====
