Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 203 Your whole family are treacherous officials!
The functions of today's subdistrict offices are not the same as those of the later communities.

Although it is the lowest level of grassroots unit, it is directly connected to the lives of residents, taking care of everything from eating and drinking to sleeping and relieving themselves.

Even if you live in the provincial party committee compound, you will inevitably have to deal with the subdistrict office.

They either don't know how to speak properly, or they're just pretending to be aloof.

Lu Qiaoge did not intend to continue explaining the nature of her job to her.

If you understand, you understand; if you don't, it's none of my business.

Lu Qiaoge remained calm and composed.

Zhou Shanshan felt a little embarrassed and didn't ask any further questions.

But Lu Qiaoge still noticed that she subtly pursed her lips.

However, Lu Qiaoge didn't take Zhou Shanshan seriously at all. Whether it was out of jealousy or something else, it didn't matter if she said the wrong thing, as long as she knew to shut up.

The carriage suddenly became quiet.

As the car drove out of the city, the poplar trees on both sides of the road gradually turned into lush pine and cypress trees.

Lu Qiaoge gazed at the scenery rushing past the window; going out for a trip was indeed refreshing.

Qin Hengzhi would occasionally point out landmarks to her: "That's the militia training ground, this is the granary, that's the newly built reservoir..."

Lu Qiaoge looked towards the reservoir. The water was sparkling, and swallows skimmed across the surface, creating ripples.

The fields resembled pieces of a green jigsaw puzzle, with the occasional tractor driving by, raising small plumes of dust.

Although these two were the youngest, their auras were inexplicably similar. Even though Lu Qiaoge was smiling and Qin Hengzhi was speaking softly, the atmosphere in the car was still somewhat strange because Zhou Shanshan had spoken inappropriately earlier.

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

Brother Chen's wife, Dong Xiangqin, quickly went to praise the cat in Lu Qiaoge's arms: "Oh, Qiaoge, is this your tabby cat? It's so beautiful."

Lu Qiaoge smiled too. Of course she was happy that someone was praising Huahua. The tabby cat meowed happily at Dong Xiangqin several times.

Dong Xiangqin said in surprise, "Look, it seems to understand what we're saying."

Li Xiuying: "Don't make a fuss. Cats and dogs are naturally intelligent, but cats are heartless. If there's good food, they'll stay at your house; if there's no good food, they'll go to someone else's house. That's why people call cats treacherous officials."

Hua Hua, who was initially delighted, immediately became unhappy: "You're the treacherous one! Your whole family are treacherous!"

Lu Qiaoge: “…”

Li Xiuying thought that the "human-like" cat could understand every word. She said in what she thought was a kind tone, "Qiao Ge, even if you like cats, you can't develop feelings for them. What if they run away one day? You'll be so upset."

Actually, there's nothing wrong with what he said, it's just a bit too blunt.

Hua Hua wanted nothing more than to scratch Li Xiuying, and continued to scold: "You're the one who's running away! The day Wang Zhiguo is nothing, you'll be running faster than a rabbit!"

Lu Qiaoge tried her best to suppress her laughter.

Seeing that Hua Hua's fur had bristled, Li Xiuying chuckled and pointed at the tabby cat, saying, "Look, the kitten seems unhappy. It has quite a temper. Qiao Ge, let me tell you, the stray cats in my alley are really wild. They've scratched several people. I've heard that being scratched by a cat can easily lead to rabies. You'd better be careful."

Hua Hua turned around and scolded, "[I should be more careful with you! Your big mouth never stops chattering. Even going out to play can't shut you up. And your big face, it's like a flatbread, so ugly! Wang Zhiguo has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he must have been blind to marry you...]"

Lu Qiaoge couldn't help but burst out laughing. She pressed Hua Hua's head down and said to Li Xiuying behind her with a smile, "Sister Li, my tabby cat won't do that. It's my best friend."

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiaoge and saw that she was smiling, clearly in a good mood.

He then went to look at the tabby cat that was meowing incessantly.

Qin Hengzhi had reason to suspect that the brat Huahua had been provoked and was probably currently arguing with Lu Qiaoge about Li Xiuying, only that no one could understand him. Alas, he couldn't understand him either!
Lu Qiaoge continued to comfort Huahua and introduced her to them: "My cat is named Huahua. Come on, Huahua, say hello to your older sisters."

Then, Hua Hua's squeals rang out from inside the jeep.

It looked at Li Xiuying: Meow meow meow.

Actually, it means, "Your big mouth leaks everywhere; you can't hold much in your belly!"

Then she looked at Zhou Shanshan: [You think you can't see through my conceited little schemes? You're just jealous that my little fairy's boyfriend is taller, more handsome, and more capable than yours. Look at yourself! You think you can compare to my little fairy? You're not worthy!]

But to Zhou Shanshan's ears, it sounded like she meowed several more times than Li Xiuying.

She forced a smile, thinking to herself, "This scruffy beast has to smile at me. It's disgusting. If it weren't for Qin Hengzhi, who would even bother with you, Lu Qiaoge, let alone this stupid cat?"

Very well, Hua Hua and Zhou Shanshan are both cursing each other in their hearts, but neither of them knows it.

When Hua Hua greeted Dong Xiangqin, her tone softened considerably: [Little Master, among Qin Hengzhi's comrades' family members, Dong Xiangqin is the only one who's not bad; she speaks human language. Let me tell you, Qin Hengzhi wasn't very thoughtful. He didn't even bother to find out about the other family members' character beforehand. If they were all bad, it would have been better if the two of you had come alone. Ah, and of course, me too, it would have been the three of us…]

Lu Qiaoge pinched Hua Hua's hand and chuckled incessantly.

I must say, bringing Huahua was a wise decision.

More than half an hour later, the car began to climb the hill.

The outline of Yuanbaoshan Mountain is faintly visible in the morning mist, like a traditional Chinese ink painting.

After leaving the main road and driving along a short stretch of yellow sand road, the jeep stopped in an open space.

This is our destination for today.

Before me was a slowly flowing river, with pebbles and soft sand on its banks.

In August, the mountains and forests are lush and green, with birdsong rising and falling.

After all the women got off the bus, Zhou Shanshan didn't speak to anyone else and went to find Liu Dahui on her own.

Li Xiuying ran to the trunk and exclaimed, "Hey, you men can take care of hunting and fishing, and we four can handle the cooking."

Dong Xiangqin and Lu Qiaoge lowered their voices and said, "Don't take it to heart. Zhou Shanshan is just like that. She's a bit jealous. She probably didn't expect that someone as beautiful as you would have a boyfriend like Representative Qin."

Lu Qiaoge smiled as she held the tabby cat: "I don't care."

Dong Xiangqin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also unconvinced, thinking that Zhou Shanshan was being unreasonable, and that she thought that just because Liu Dahui liked her, she could act without any scruples?

That's a mistake. Although Liu Dahui is older than Qin Hengzhi, Qin Hengzhi has always been his superior, and he respects Representative Qin very much. So if you really want to compete with Lu Qiaoge, Liu Dahui won't tolerate it.

Fortunately, Qiao Ge is a good girl.

She looks a bit delicate, and she's even carrying a cat when she goes out to play, so it seems like we can't count on her for anything.

She said to Lu Qiaoge, "Qiaoge, there are a lot of dry branches over there. Go and collect them. We don't need you here."

He then rummaged through his bag and pulled out a pair of brand-new cotton gloves, handing them to Lu Qiaoge. Looking at the girl's slender, fair hands, he subtly glanced at Lu Qiaoge's waist and thought to himself, "Qin Hengzhi is truly blessed."

She added an extra instruction: "These little hands are as soft as tofu, so wear gloves and don't let them get scratched by branches."

　Hua Hua: [To all my lovely ladies, you are all beautiful and kind-hearted! I wish you all a bright future, smooth sailing in all seasons, peace every day, and fearlessness in the face of adversity! Please vote for me! Meow meow meow!]
