Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 204 The World is Full of Wonders
The dry tree branches that Dong Xiangqin mentioned were not far away. All around were sand and pebbles. This job was not bad. They even gave us gloves.

However, Lu Qiaoge really had to go there. At this moment, Dong Xiangqin directly assigned her a task, so she didn't need to make excuses.

As Lu Qiaoge took the gloves and was about to leave with the tabby cat, Dong Xiangqin stopped her and said with a smile, "Qiaoge, Hengzhi and my husband Chen said you wanted to look up some information about Jiangcheng before the founding of the People's Republic of China. You know, some of the archives our country received are very detailed, some have been burned, and many were added little by little after various reviews and verifications. Can you tell me which specific time period it is?"

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Qin Hengzhi had actually told Brother Chen.

Because Brother Chen's wife, Dong Xiangqin, works at the city's archives bureau.

She did want to look up information on this topic.

The gold and silver treasures in the giant pike's territory, the boxes under the reeds, the old turtle, the old Taoist priest and the divine doctor of the Yangtze River she mentioned, and Sun Ziliang—she even wanted to investigate the background of Deputy Manager Yan of the fishing company.

However, all of these things were completely unanswerable.

They didn't even know where to begin their investigation, because there were no clues or clear directions.

The rest is fine.

Lu Qiaoge still really wants to know if those gold and silver jewelry have a clear owner.

If there are truly complex issues involving the national level behind this, she really can't touch them.

Animals think differently than humans.

Just like the swallows snatching away Old Lady Li's gold ring.

The reason is very simple: it just likes things that are golden and shiny, so it took away the little nest that was decorated for it.

However, such behavior is considered theft among humans, and serious cases can result in criminal charges.

Now, all the gold and silver treasures in the Great Pike's territory that they knew about, saw, and hid are in Lu Qiaoge's hands.

There aren't many jadeite pieces; gold is the most common.

Some of the gold can be seen to have been extracted directly from a gold mine.

Which gold mine is this?

Who owned the gold mine at that time? What did they do? Were they good or bad people?
A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way.

She really couldn't touch these gold and silver jewelry until she figured it out.

Lu Qiaoge's eyes lit up: "If there's a specific time period, am I qualified to investigate?"

Dong Xiangqin glanced behind her and lowered her voice to Lu Qiaoge, saying, "Even the archives and materials from before the founding of the People's Republic of China, let alone you, I'm not qualified to look them up. However, there's a basement in the archives room where a lot of materials are piled up and haven't been properly organized. Our leader said we need to organize the materials there, but our archives bureau doesn't have enough staff, so we need to draw trustworthy cadres from various units to do this work. If you're interested, I'll put you on the list."

Then he added, "You're from the 516 Subdistrict Office; your background is the cleanest."

Lu Qiaoge: "Sister Dong, please submit my name. Thank you regardless of whether it works out or not."

Dong Xiangqin smiled and said, "My husband Chen and Hengzhi are sworn brothers, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

Then she reminded Lu Qiaoge to be careful when gathering firewood, and then Dong Xiangqin went to do her work with Li Xiuying.

Because at this point, everything in the Jeep's trunk had been taken out.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at it and thought, "Goodness, they really took a lot."

There was even a large tent.

Pots, pans, fruits, vegetables, and even two large watermelons.

Li Xiuying asked Wang Zhiguo to put the two watermelons in the water, while she and Dong Xiangqin started preparing the food.

Zhou Shanshan walked unsteadily on the beach in mid-heeled leather sandals.

She was wearing a women's sun hat, and her skirt was very long; it looked quite pretty when the wind blew it around.

Li Xiuying called out, "Shanshan, aren't you wearing flat shoes?" Lu Qiaoge turned around and went to pick up dry branches.

However, Zhou Shanshan muttered, "Isn't it just about going out to have fun?"

It's fine to just come out and have fun if you don't need to eat anything.

But we're having a picnic by the river today at noon.

By this time, Lu Qiaoge had reached the riverbank, and above that were clumps of shrubs. This plant was called the prickly rose, which blooms pink flowers that look like roses in spring.

These petals can be picked, dried, and used to make tea.

Now the fruit on it is covered with green and red fruit.

As expected, the gray pigeons arrived, along with a family of five swallows.

They were all perched on branches not far away.

The three baby swallows had no thoughts, but the swallow parents were not disappointed and continued to happily raise their chicks. The three baby swallows were very obedient, but they listened to their mother, Nini, the most.

Nini warned the three little ones to stand obediently on the branch she designated, and so the three little ones actually squatted on the branch and didn't move.

They look incredibly cute.

Little Cangcang also arrived. This mountain forest was not unfamiliar to it, as it was its treasure trove for preparing to spend the winter.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge approach, Xiao Cangcang, usually obedient and never competitive, was the first to fly over, urgently telling her: "Upstream from here, about the distance from our house to the neighborhood office, there's a very fierce Siberian tiger lying on a large rock, and next to it is a roe deer that it's half-eaten."

The tabby cat meowed several times.

Although it is not afraid of big tigers.

But it still stood beside Lu Qiaoge's legs, clearly trying to draw some energy.

Lu Qiaoge moved her legs, gently sweeping the tabby cat aside. While scratching at the dry branches, she said to the pigeons and swallows, "Qin Hengzhi brought a hunting rifle. If we get too close to the tiger, I have to tell him not to hunt so as not to disturb it. So you guys can play in the woods, but be careful not to get hurt. Also, Qin Hengzhi and Wang Zhiguo are good with slingshots, especially my Qin representative, who is almost always right."

Theoretically speaking, bird hunters generally don't shoot pigeons or swallows.

Pigeons are mostly domesticated, and even if their meat is delicious, they are owned by someone else.

Swallow meat is not as tasty as pigeon meat. Not only is there less meat, but it also has a stronger fishy smell. Moreover, swallows are regarded as auspicious birds in folk culture, so even naughty boys in the countryside dare not use slingshots to shoot them.

Lu Qiaoge felt very worried.

The gray pigeon reacted quickly: "I'll go scout ahead and be right back."

After saying that, it fluttered away.

Although it didn't make much noise when it flew, Qin Hengzhi, who was tidying up the trunk, straightened up and looked at Lu Qiaoge with a deep gaze.

Then my gaze fell on the small, receding shadow in the air.

Behind the bushes lies a forest, with scattered red pines and a large birch forest.

Qin Hengzhi naturally couldn't see the family of swallows hiding in the leaves.

But I always felt that Qiao Ge not only brought the tabby cat, she must have also brought pigeons and swallows.

Although this feeling is absurd, it's not actually that hard to accept.

The world's great wonders.

Qin Hengzhi placed his hand on the jacket of the hunting rifle, then looked in Lu Qiaoge's direction.

It's certain that tabby cats aren't afraid of loud noises; they've even been to shooting ranges.
