Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 214 I'm worried my uncle and aunt will see

Lao Lu is off today. He's been working overtime a lot lately, all for the technician exam in a week.

If he can pass the exam, he will be a level eight worker.

If he can retire at the eighth-grade worker level, his life's work will not have been in vain.

Old Lu stood aside and said, "Look, the child is fine, but you're so worried. Go do what you need to do. I think this is fine."

If someone doesn't like you, they can find fault with you even if there's nothing wrong with you.

When we were dating, to be honest, I didn't think that much about it. I just thought it was great that my second daughter had a boyfriend, and he was none other than Representative Qin, whom everyone praised.

Once things settle down in the dating phase, you suddenly realize it's time to talk about marriage, and wow, there's a lot to do!

Although everyone is supposed to be equal, I know in my heart that's not really the case.

The Qin family is no ordinary family, just like the Bai family.

Although they lived in the same city, the Bai family was a family that the Lu family couldn't possibly be related to.

What if my daughter is looked down upon or bullied after marrying into the family?
The child grew up in a humble family; will he feel uncomfortable going to the Qin or Bai family?

Meng Xia quietly expressed her concerns.

Old Lu said, "Don't think about useless things. Is our Qiao Ge the type to be shy? She can talk fluently with big leaders, so who would she be afraid of? Besides, isn't there Hengzhi?"

Qin Hengzhi pushed open the door of the Lu family home, carrying two bottles of wine, a piece of meat, and a steamed cake he had bought for Old Mrs. Lu.

Grandma Lu said, "Hengzhi, when you come to our house, just treat it like you're coming home. You don't have to be so polite every time, do you hear me?"

Qin Hengzhi smiled and nodded, indicating that he had heard.

Seeing her future son-in-law like this, Mengxia felt that it wasn't a big deal. As long as the young couple lived well together after marriage, that was more important than anything else.

On the way, Qin Hengzhi parked the car on the side of the road and handed Lu Qiaoge a stack of photos.

Lu Qiaoge took it but didn't rush to examine it. Instead, she asked in surprise, "Why didn't you take it out when it was at my house?"

Qin Hengzhi said in a low voice, "There's a photo of the two of us here, and I'm worried that your parents might see it..."

They might feel uncomfortable taking photos together before they're even married.

These words were not spoken aloud, but the meaning was clear.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and then began to look through the photos. Needless to say, her photography skills were superb, and Qin Hengzhi's aesthetic sense was also top-notch.

She looks so beautiful in the photos.

Lu Qiaoge looked at her photos one by one, a look of utter delight on her face.

Finally, Qin Hengzhi took a closer look at the photo of the two of them. He scrutinized it carefully and then keenly noticed that Lu Qiaoge only glanced at him in the photo before looking at her own picture.

Wow, that gaze lingers for quite a while.

Doesn't she really like his face?
Qin Hengzhi placed his hand on the photo, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Put it away. Look at it whenever you have free time."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and put the photo into her handbag.

Qin Hengzhi said to Lu Qiaoge, "There's no need to go to the department store. I've already prepared the gift for my grandfather."

Lu Qiaoge didn't insist.

Qin Hengzhi only objectively described his maternal family, but Lu Qiaoge didn't know the specifics of how this family treated her.

Therefore, Qin Hengzhi has full authority to decide what gift to bring on the first visit.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Hengzhi took out an envelope and handed it to Lu Qiaoge: "This is my savings book."

He then explained, "This is the bonus I just received."

He hasn't had time to return to Beidu yet; his savings and other belongings are all at home.

This is a bonus that the military's research and development center just gave him, exactly one thousand yuan, which was deposited directly into his account.

Lu Qiaoge took it; Qin Hengzhi had given her 680 yuan in cash at the last trade fair.

That's probably all the cash he has on hand.

She didn't return the rest, so she simply left it behind.

She felt that if she returned it, the taste would change. Actually, she didn't have much experience.

Everything was done according to my own conscience.

But honestly, I haven't heard of anyone whose partner is as generous as Qin Hengzhi.

Of course, no one earns as much as Qin Hengzhi.

In an ordinary circle, the emergence of an extraordinary person makes him stand out as an oddball.

Lu Qiaoge looked into Qin Hengzhi's eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Qiaoge put the bankbook into her handbag.

Qin Hengzhi appeared calm, but he was actually very nervous. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Qiaoge accept the gift.

Lu Qiaoge's handbag was made of canvas, had compartments, and a zipper. She said to Qin Hengzhi, "Wait until we drive. There's something in my handbag for you."

As she spoke, Lu Qiaoge took something out of her handbag.

Qin Hengzhi was waiting very seriously, wondering what it would be.

But no matter what it was, as long as it was a gift from Qiao Ge, he was very happy and treasured it.

But when Lu Qiaoge handed this thing to him, even the well-informed Qin Hengzhi was momentarily taken aback.

amber?

It turned out to be a piece of crystal-clear golden amber containing a leaf inside.

The leaf was small but intact, lying quietly in the amber, having slept for who knows how many years.

Qin Hengzhi held it in his hand and examined it carefully. Lu Qiaoge then took out another piece from her bag and showed it to Qin Hengzhi with a smile: "Look at this one of mine, it's also a leaf."

He then said, "The shapes are different, but the leaves are very similar. How about we each have one?"

Of course, it's excellent!

But where did Qiao Ge get these two pieces of amber? They're not like stones found on the riverbank that you can just find anywhere.

And there are two pieces.

As far as he knew, even his uncle, who loved jade, didn't have such fine amber.

These two are perfectly shaped, teardrop-shaped, with a smooth, rounded surface, as clear as honey, without any impurities or cracks; they are exquisite.

Qin Hengzhi carefully put it away, but still asked, "Qiao Ge, where did you get it from?"

Lu Qiaoge answered naturally, "It was given to me by the little squirrel."

Qin Hengzhi paused for a moment, then nodded and asked softly, "Does the little squirrel have any requests?"

Lu Qiaoge tilted her head, a half-smile on her face: "It probably hopes I can visit it occasionally."

Qin Hengzhi smiled and said, "Yes, I have a car. If you need it, I'm always ready whenever I have time!"

And to be honest, even if she determined the origin of the things in the reed marshes, it still took Representative Qin's final approval.

It's August now, and we need to get these things done before winter.

Lu Qiaoge smiled at him.

The jeep was parked on a deserted, tree-lined road.

The car window was open, the wind rustled through the treetops, and the girl so close to him smiled radiantly.

Qin Hengzhi's heart fluttered, and he suddenly raised his hand to gently stroke her hair.

His fingertips brushed against her earlobe, warm and restrained, yet they made her heart skip a beat.

Lu Qiaoge and he locked eyes.

His eyes remained clear and bright, like obsidian tempered with starlight, calm and profound.

"Qiao Ge." He called her softly, his voice low and slightly hoarse, like the night breeze: "I will not betray your trust!"
