Chapter 83

The old turtle was silent.

As the one with the highest IQ in this water area, it of course knew that what Lu Qiaoge said was the truth.

Suddenly, another simple and honest voice came from the lakeside: 【Little Fairy, you are so smart, you should be able to think of a way to help us, right?】

This was the big carp's voice.

Lu Qiaoge also rolled her eyes.

These aquatic products think too highly of her.

She suggested to the old turtle: "How about I take you all home?"

The old turtle didn't make a sound.

The big carp flicked its tail and asked innocently: 【Little Fairy, does your courtyard have a big pond?】

Lu Qiaoge: "..."

My house doesn't have a big pond, my house has a big water basin!

But this was indeed a problem.

Lu Qiaoge pondered for a while and said to the old turtle: "Now even the countryside is developing sideline businesses. Naturally, some industries in our city also need to create income. For example, the fishery company; if it wants to create income, besides fishing, there is also farming. But in the end, won't it still be fished out? Besides, the fishery company belongs to the state, and no matter what is fished out, it also belongs to the state."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Qiaoge continued: "The most important thing is, even if I fish out the iron box, no matter what is inside, it cannot be my personal property, including the gold bars and jewelry you mentioned. So, after these things are fished out, this water area will also not have peace."

You know there is treasure in the center of the lake, but what reason do you have to fish it out?

The old turtle didn't speak. Although it was older than Lu Qiaoge, it didn't fully understand these twists and turns.

At this moment, the old turtle was listening carefully.

Lu Qiaoge: "If that day really comes, I can only take as many of you as I know and am familiar with to the deep mountains, and find a water area further away from humans to let you continue to live carefree lives."

These little things, before the fishery company comes, those of them who possess wisdom will not be caught.

So they indeed live carefree lives.

If they encounter something particularly fierce and get eaten, then so be it, but they won't look for trouble before they encounter it.

The old turtle thought for a long time and felt that what Lu Qiaoge said was very right.

【If that day really comes, I'll have to trouble you, Little Fairy.】

You have to say nice things when asking humans for help.

Lu Qiaoge smiled: "Look at how polite you are; I still have to thank you and the big carp on behalf of my younger brother."

The old turtle had no objections.

It enjoyed the comfortable energy coming from Lu Qiaoge's palm, suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Qiaoge: 【There is a deputy manager of the fishery company. A few days ago, he came here with a few people to inspect. He also went to a lakeside area alone. I heard from a frog that the man took out a piece of paper and looked at Red Star Lake back and forth. When he heard someone calling him, he hurriedly stuffed the paper into his pocket.】

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment; her first reaction was, is that a treasure map?

That's too ridiculous.

"Frog, you can also communicate with frogs? Why haven't I seen one?" Lu Qiaoge asked strangely.

The old turtle said: 【It also doesn't know when you are coming, and it doesn't dare to go to your house to find you. Even now, I haven't seen it for two days.】

That's true; she hadn't talked to a frog, so she couldn't build that kind of wonderful connection with it.

It's just that the information the frog said just now is actually very important.

You have to know that Red Star Lake has belonged to 516 for many years. Even if the local area wants to create income, it doesn't necessarily have to be Red Star Lake for the time being.

It's just that there is one point: since last year, management in many places has not been so strict.

Especially in terms of population movement.

You have to know that in the past few years, educated youth and non-urban populations were not allowed to stay in the city except for visiting relatives or major events.

Although it is still not allowed now, it is actually in a state of turning a blind eye.

This was absolutely impossible in the past few years.

And the current loose management is also releasing a signal, which is that many things can be done.

Just like the material trading fair organized by Lu Qiaoge; facts have proven that there is absolutely no problem at all.

What about other activities?

For example, sudden fishing?

But there is one point: no matter whether these treasures were sunk by people or in a sunken ship, looking at the deputy manager's behavior, does it mean he is an insider?

But these are just guesses.

As far as Lu Qiaoge's current situation is concerned, she doesn't even know who the deputy manager of the fishery company is.

Moreover, the negotiations between the local area and the military factory are not something she, a tiny mediator, can interfere with.

But after the old turtle got Lu Qiaoge's guarantee, it didn't worry.

Anyway, it's just moving, and there's nothing bad about it.

On that side, Lu Qiaoge looked at the two small buckets full of fish and shrimp and went home with her brother and cat without any psychological burden.

Su Hui was cooking. Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiao Ling, who had just returned, cleaned the fish and shrimp together. Those that looked spirited were kept in the big water basin, and those that were wilted were eaten directly.

The Lu family's dining table had already become much richer, so although Old Lu and Lu Zhiguo didn't come home at noon, Grandma Lu also let Su Hui make cornmeal cakes, and she made the sauce-braised small fish. In the small iron pot on the other side, she also made egg drop soup.

Lu Qiaoge cleaned the small fish very quickly, and in a short while, she had half a basin.

The non-staple food store sold soybean paste, and the taste was quite good.

So in a short while, the smell of sauce drifted through the courtyard.

The tabby cat was different from the pampered cats of later generations; there was nothing it didn't eat.

Corn cakes with sauce-braised small fish, it could also eat half a basin.

Lu Qiaoge looked at the tabby cat, which had gained a circle of weight, drove it out for a walk, and then told Su Hui the news Mu Dan brought.

Su Hui looked at Lu Qiaoge in surprise: "Is what Section Chief Mu said true?"

"It must be true, why would she lie to me for no reason?"

Su Hui smiled embarrassedly; it was too unexpected, so she didn't dare to believe it.

"Qiao Ge, but I can't do it alone."

"Of course, that's what I'm discussing with you. Sister-in-law, do you want to wait a few years until individuals are allowed to do business to open a shop alone, or join the collective in an individual capacity now?"

Su Hui was shocked: "Open a shop alone, how is that possible?"

Lu Qiaoge: "No one can say for sure about the future, so I have to tell you the ugly truth first, so that after you join the collective, you won't regret it when individuals can do business in the future."

Su Hui looked at Lu Qiaoge in shock and doubt.

What her second sister-in-law said was a bit too scary; she didn't dare to think deeply, so she didn't consider it. Moreover, there were private businesses in the past few years; she still understood this.

Su Hui immediately said: "Qiao Ge, if I really join the collective, I will thank you for the rest of my life!"

She then hurriedly added: "Whatever you want to do, I will listen to you."

Lu Qiaoge could also guess Su Hui's choice. She said: "I will go report to Director Hu this afternoon. If it works out, Sister-in-law, even if you are not a formal worker, you will be a big collective educated youth worker. You can register your household and eat commodity grain."

Even ten or twenty years later, people still prefer units with a formal establishment.

Holding an iron rice bowl means you don't have to worry about being unemployed and having nowhere to get paid for the rest of your life.

Su Hui's hands were trembling with excitement; eating commodity grain was something she dreamed about!
