Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 206 Hidden, Shameful Thoughts

Lu Qiaoge first said to Xiao Cangcang in her mind: "The current exploration teams are all state-owned, and individuals are not allowed to participate. Don't worry about it. You guys can do whatever you want. I won't let anyone disturb you."

At this moment, Qin Hengzhi's expression calmed down.

I had no idea Zhou Shanshan was so undignified.

They dare to make such an outrageous request.

He took her picture?
If anyone's going to take a picture, it should be for Qiao Ge!

Then, two voices rang out at the same time.

"Can't!"

"Of course I mind!"

Qin Hengzhi said no, while Lu Qiaoge said she minded.

Zhou Shanshan's mind went blank, and she felt the blood rush to her face.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

The distance wasn't far, and she didn't think too much about it while walking there.

It was just a request—to take a picture. What reason did Qin Hengzhi have to disagree?
Then she deliberately asked Lu Qiaoge, wanting to make Lu Qiaoge feel uncomfortable but unable to refuse her.

So, under normal circumstances, shouldn't Qin Hengzhi have said: Okay, I'll take your picture!

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qiaoge should force a smile and say, "I don't mind."

But how did it turn out like this?

My mind went blank for a moment.

At this moment, Zhou Shanshan felt extremely ashamed and indignant, wishing there was a mouse hole she could crawl into.

Unfortunately, the second eldest rat wasn't here, so there was no rat hole for her to crawl through.

The conversation between the three people was inevitably overheard by Wang Zhiguo, Li Xiuying, and Dong Xiangqin, who were nearby.

Liu Dahui and Chen Feng went to the river to filter water for cooking.

Li Xiuying felt that Zhou Shanshan was embarrassed. If it were her, she could have just laughed it off and left, but Zhou Shanshan was too good at pretending.

Dong Xiangqin, the oldest and most composed among them, sighed and tried to smooth things over, but Lu Qiaoge smiled teasingly and said, "I mind because it's Brother Liu's right to take your picture. We can't take it from him. Sister Zhou, look, Brother Liu is looking at you."

Liu Dahui stood by the river, looking in their direction.

Lu Qiaoge ignored Zhou Shanshan and turned to look at Qin Hengzhi, saying, "You just asked for my opinion, didn't you?"

Qin Hengzhi nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Shanshan's shame and indignation had faded considerably, but Lu Qiaoge's gaze just now was so clear, so clear that it seemed to see right through her hidden, shameful thoughts.

She looked at the two of them.

Although they weren't very close, their unique aura prevented anyone from getting close to them.

Zhou Shanshan turned around, composed herself, and staggered a little, but that didn't matter, since she was wearing high-heeled leather sandals.

She called out to Liu Dahui, "Brother Hui, come help me up! Oh, it's all your fault, you didn't even remind me what shoes I should wear!"

Liu Dahui walked over helplessly; he had warned her before he came.

But he couldn't say that at the moment, so he could only say, "There are some new rubber boots in the trunk, would you like to change into them?"

Zhou Shanshan didn't refute, and Liu Dahui breathed a sigh of relief. The two quickly walked away.

Lu Qiaoge didn't answer Qin Hengzhi's question, but instead asked, "Sister Dong just told me about the archives organizing my application. I just wanted to ask you, will this cause her any trouble?"

Qin Hengzhi froze for a moment.

How should he answer?
I know you have many secrets and want to look up a lot of information, but I don't know exactly what you want to look up, or maybe you don't even know what you want to look up.

I can use my connections to let you go to the archives to look up information on your own.

But doing that would bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble later. This world is never short of smart people.

I ran into Brother Chen on the road and asked him to inquire about Dong Xiangqin.

That's the process.

As for the result, the archives were cleared out; Qiao Ge, you were just lucky.

But he couldn't bring himself to say these words.

It was as if he were spying on Qiao Ge's secrets.

So Qin Hengzhi said, "It's normal for brother units to borrow employees. Just like Director Zhou of the Foreign Trade Department wanted to borrow you. Don't worry, as long as you pass the review, Dong Xiangqin won't have any trouble."

Lu Qiaoge was relieved.

This time, she replied to Qin Hengzhi, "I can't always make excuses for my elders' requests. I'm free these few days, so you can make the arrangements."

Qin Hengzhi felt a sense of relief.

However, his expression did not relax. He said, "Let me tell you about my maternal grandfather's family. My maternal grandmother... has passed away. Now she is my step-grandmother. We younger generations call her Grandma Lü. My mother and my aunt call her Aunt Lü. You can call her the same way I do."

She paused for a moment, then said, "She and my grandfather have a sixteen-year-old son who is short-tempered and unruly. He is currently in his first year of high school and his grades are average."

I understand now. This is Old Master Bai's youngest son, so he must be very favored.

Qin Hengzhi didn't continue speaking, and Lu Qiaoge didn't ask.

Qin Hengzhi then changed the subject, saying, "We won't use the hunting rifle today, so as not to scare your flowers."

The tabby cat wasn't around, so Qin Hengzhi spoke very softly. Lu Qiaoge chuckled softly and glanced at Qin Hengzhi with gentle eyes.

He wasn't after the flowers; that was just an excuse. He must have seen the pigeons and swallows.

Lu Qiaoge said softly, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. My mom said she's making dumplings."

Qin Hengzhi naturally smiled with lowered eyes, in a pleasant mood.

To everyone else, the two seemed like a perfect match, as if they were born to be together.

Li Xiuying speaks frankly and works just as efficiently, while Dong Xiangqin speaks softly but works just as quickly. The two of them gathered up the dry food, rice, vegetables, and eggs they had brought for the day. Although it was only one meal, there were four adult men, so it was easy to imagine how much they would eat.

So even though it looks like a lot, it's actually only enough for one meal.

Liu Dahui still went to take photos with Zhou Shanshan, still wearing his leather sandals. However, he had a pair of women's rubber shoes draped over his shoulders, apparently prepared for his girlfriend in advance.

Many girls wear military-style rubber shoes nowadays.

Its popularity is no less than that of Lu Qiaoge's Warrior shoes.

But it must be said that Liu Dahui is very considerate.

Actually, Qin Hengzhi had quite a few comrades-in-arms, including many from Jiangcheng alone.

But this is difficult to describe.

They were not officers; after their discharge, they became ordinary workers. Some rural soldiers even returned to their hometowns after their discharge.

There are many reasons, and Qin Hengzhi is also very busy, so only a few people can get together to eat.

Liu Dahui is the deputy district head, Chen Feng is the deputy director of logistics at the Foreign Trade Bureau, and Wang Zhiguo is the deputy director of the branch office.

Although they are all deputies, they have only been with the company for a few years, so this is already quite good.

As for Qin Hengzhi, needless to say, he definitely won't retire. His future... as long as there are no major unforeseen events, that position is his.

If we're talking about taking sides, then the three of them would definitely stand with Qin Hengzhi.

Li Xiuying and Dong Xiangqin both understood this principle.

Dong Xiangqin and Li Xiuying said, "You stay here and do your work. I'll go find Qiao Ge to dig some wild vegetables."

He then lowered his voice and said, "Tell her about Liu Dahui as well; Qin Hengzhi definitely didn't tell her."
