Chapter 851

~8 min read 1,462 words

The matters on the Xie family's side were told to Lu Qiao by Little Cangcang in every detail.

At this moment, Lu Qiao was in her own bedroom.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Aunt Guo was cooking, and Qin Ruixue was helping to pick vegetables.

Grandmother Qin was quite happy; the conditions of this Xie family were still acceptable. Although Xie Wenjie was divorced, he had no children, which was already very rare.

Otherwise, it would really be hard to find a partner for her eldest granddaughter.

She was talking to Bai Jinyan about the Xie family's affairs.

Lu Qiao had been sent upstairs by them to rest; according to Grandmother Qin, Qiao is the hardest-working person in this family.

When she returns home, she should rest well, and she doesn't need to worry about anything.

And Lu Qiao also happened to want to hear how Little Cangcang told it.

If they hadn't truly taken a fancy to Qin Ruixue, someone like her would actually be very easily criticized by the other party.

The favorable condition Qin Ruixue possessed was nothing more than being the eldest granddaughter of the Qin family's old master.

Lu Qiao frowned.

This matter could only be like this for the time being; after all, Eldest Sister didn't take it to heart either.

Moreover, the Qin family is not an ordinary family; if they wanted to play tricks, the Xie family wouldn't dare play them on the Qin family.

Lu Qiao entered the space.

She saw the jellyfish Little Mingming practicing teleportation there; now Little Mingming could already take her to teleport five hundred kilometers.

Lu Qiao encouraged Little Mingming to continue working hard, and Little Mingming said excitedly: 【Little Master, I feel that in another month, I will be able to take you to the Nameless Island.】

Lu Qiao and her little cuties also had an uninhabited island.

Until now, Lu Qiao had not determined the specific location of this island.

She always felt that this island had some connection to her space.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

Time flows on, and time is actually very long.

To figure these things out, one has to take it step by step.

Lu Qiao harvested a few stalks of ginseng and lingzhi from the space, put them all in a canvas bag, and prepared to bring them to Sun Lao next time she visited.

There was a special small box inside containing two glass bottles, which held medicinal pills.

Lu Qiao took them out; the green label was for Grandmother Qin to take, and the yellow label was for Grandfather.

During this period, Sun Lao had already given her quite a few medicinal pills, some for calming the nerves, some for nourishing the heart, and quite a few for strengthening the body and improving immunity.

Anything from Old Master Sun is a boutique.

So Lu Qiao also had to get some good medicinal herbs from the space for Old Master Sun.

Lu Qiao left the space and went downstairs, just as Qin Hengzhi called.

Qin Hengzhi told her that everything was fine at home and she didn't need to worry.

Qiaoling's work and studies were not delayed, and she was getting along very well with Song Shaowen now.

Sister-in-law Song went to the food factory and took charge of women's work, which she was also doing very well.

Lu Qiao was answering the phone here, and Bai Jinyan and the others automatically avoided them.

They were all smiling when they left.

But now, phone calls were all transferred and could not be dialed directly.

So what Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao talked about were all matters of work and life.

As for missing each other, that was certainly there.

After talking about a lot of things, Qin Hengzhi hung up the phone.

He looked at his schedule. He had nothing to do tomorrow morning. He planned to get some fish to send to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, and leave the remaining small fish for Huahua; not just for Huahua, but also for the old black cat.

And at this moment, Huahua was squatting on the windowsill again, meowing at Qin Hengzhi several times.

Qin Hengzhi couldn't understand, and he didn't care, because he knew that Huahua could understand him, and even what others said.

If he misunderstood, Huahua would slap him with a paw. If he understood correctly, Huahua would meow at him.

For example, now, Qin Hengzhi said to Huahua: "Did you hear me calling your little master just now? Your little master is at home now. Do you miss her too? Actually, I miss her very much, very, very much..."

Huahua could certainly understand this, and Huahua meowed at him.

The little master is also very busy now.

She hasn't had time to put them into the space these past few days. But actually, they had just been playing in the space a few days ago.

The most pitiful one was Qin Hengzhi.

It would still be a long time before he could be with the little master every day.

The long time that Huahua felt seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qiao graduated, and Qin Hengzhi was also transferred back to Beidu.

Now he is serving in the Northern General Military Region.

His position is naturally not low.

The military family compound is not far from the Foreign Trade Bureau, so the two planned to move to the family compound once Lu Qiao officially graduated.

The scale here is no less than the 516 Military Factory family compound.

Now Lu Qiao has officially started working at the Foreign Trade Bureau. Because of her contributions to foreign trade, she was exceptionally promoted to deputy section chief. Section Chief Wei will retire in a few years, and Lu Qiao's path is clearly upward, but Bureau Chief Bai has other arrangements for Lu Qiao.

It's just that it hasn't been announced to the public yet.

Now it is the spring of 1981, truly entering the eighties. Reform and opening up have already begun, and land has also been divided among individuals.

"Retaining one's position while suspending salary to go into business" is also a popular new term now.

One dare not say that individual economy is springing up like mushrooms, but there is no need to cover up and set up various pretexts anymore.

But there is one point: the "iron rice bowl" is still a resounding iron rice bowl, and those doing individual business will still be looked down upon by others.

Just like Meng Xia exhorted Lu Qiao: You must not do anything like retaining your position while suspending your salary; you are not short of money to spend, and you have a house to live in. That is a golden rice bowl of yours, absolutely do not throw it away...

Lu Qiao naturally agreed; well, holding a golden rice bowl, it would be a pity to throw it away; after all, she still likes gold very much.

Of course, this is just a joke.

1981 is actually still an era where planned economy and market economy are combined.

At this time, those doing individual business, even if looked down upon by others, their children will not be looked down upon, because as long as they succeed, their children will be "rich second generation."

Doing business at this time is truly easy.

Take spring, for example; a kind of silk scarf started flowing over from Hong Kong, but everyone doesn't call it a silk scarf, they call it a "Hong Kong scarf."

It comes in all colors and is very beautiful. If you go to the street to look, big girls and little wives are basically wearing one around their necks.

Now, the way of dressing is also like this.

It is no longer just gray, blue, and black; red skirts and green skirts are colorful, but it hasn't reached the era of wearing bell-bottoms and carrying tape recorders to dance disco yet.

If one did that, it would be a chaotic mess.

However, Lu Qiao knows that some of the children in certain circles have early access to these things and many channels, and they often secretly hold such gatherings.

Tong Niannian even attended one once and then invited Lu Qiao, but was rejected by Lu Qiao.

It's not boasting, but many times, her behavior is a benchmark.

In an era that is not yet clear, she will not be a role model for others.

Jiangcheng is also still proceeding in an orderly way.

Lu Qiaoling married Song Shaowen half a year ago.

Su Hui and Lu Zhiguo added another child, a boy, who has just passed his hundredth day. His formal name is Lu Hao, and his nickname is Xiaohu.
