Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 223 The Future is Stretched Infinitely

Qin Hengzhi stopped the car because Section Chief Jia had already gotten off his bicycle.

He pointed in the direction of the research institute's staff quarters and said, "Qiao Ge was just at the security department, and now she's gone to the research institute's staff quarters."

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Zhang Zhuliang and said, "If you need support, call the military representative office on duty."

Section Chief Jia nodded: "Hmm, let me see how things go. I might really need your military representative office's help."

He then waved to Qin Hengzhi, got on his bicycle, and rode away.

Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge had already arrived at her fourth uncle's house.

Just then, I saw my fourth aunt sitting in a wheelchair and my cousin Lu Qiaoqing standing next to her. She is my fourth uncle's eldest daughter.

Lu Qiaoqing and Qiao Ling are the same age. She took over her fourth aunt's job at the Workers' Cultural Palace.

When she saw Lu Qiaoge, her eyes lit up. She glanced around the room and said softly, "Second sister, you've come."

Before Fourth Aunt could speak, an old woman came out of the yard. Her hair was neatly combed. When she saw Lu Qiaoge, she said, "Oh, it's Qiaoge. How's your grandma doing lately?"

This old woman is Fourth Aunt's mother.

Lu Qiaoge said with a smile, "My grandma is doing well. She even asked me to give you her greetings."

Grandma Lu did not favor sons over daughters, but when her fourth son wanted to live with his parents-in-law, she rarely visited his home.

It wasn't that she was angry or looked down on her daughter-in-law; it was just that her fourth aunt's mother was a bit eccentric and talked nonsense all the time. At first, it was fine, but after the daughter-in-law gave birth to Lu Qiaoqing, when the old lady wanted to come and take care of her, she said, "Xiaocheng's mother, you can't come to my house. You and my granddaughter Qingqing are incompatible according to your birth charts; you'll clash with her."

That's not a good thing to say, even now, let alone more than a decade ago.

Grandma Lu didn't say a word and turned to leave.

When Lu Cheng returned from work and found out, he ran to his older brother's house, knelt down in front of his mother, and wept bitterly.

Grandma Lu was reasonable. She told Lu Da, "Your wife is a good person. You can't quarrel with her because of this. Si'er, even if your older brother didn't have a big family, I wouldn't cause you any trouble."

Lu Cheng and his fourth aunt had a good relationship, and his fourth aunt was also a good person. Knowing that he was in the wrong, she compensated him with money and supplies.

But it only lasted a few months, and then it was over.

Then everyone was having a hard time, and nobody could take care of anyone else.

My fourth uncle's family has three children: two daughters and one son.

Every family has its own troubles.

Lu Qiaoge took the iron bucket down and pushed her fourth aunt, who was carrying the bucket, into the yard.

Because of Aunt Si's illness, Director He specially moved the house to the first floor with a yard after we returned.

She heard from her grandmother that her fourth aunt's parents did not get along with their son, which was why they had to live with their daughter.

But it must be admitted that they have raised three children over the years and are now taking care of Aunt Si. For that reason alone, Grandma Lu has nothing to say.

Lu Qiaoge said, "These are the fish and shrimp I caught this afternoon. My mom said she'd give you half, whether you fry them or make fish sauce. These two crucian carp can be used to make soup, which is good for Aunt Si's health."

Lu Qiaoge didn't stay here long; she put her things down and prepared to leave.

The fourth aunt over there didn't insist that Lu Qiaoqing stay, and asked her to empty the bucket and clean it.

After pouring out the fish and shrimp, Lu Qiaoqing cleaned the bucket thoroughly.

Aunt Lu pointed to the bag on the corner table, and Lu Qiaoqing took it, put it in the bucket, and handed it to Lu Qiaoge.

I don't know what it is, but it feels heavy.

Aunt Lu said, "If you hadn't come, your fourth uncle would have brought it to your grandma when he came back tonight. But it's good that you came."

"Qiao Ge, thank you so much for making this wheelchair for me. It's so convenient, thank you so much."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite."

"Qiao Ge, sigh, I don't know how to tell you."

Lu Qiaoge placed her hand on her fourth aunt's shoulder and said softly, "Fourth Aunt, it's amazing that you managed to persevere. Besides, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang deserve a lot of credit. My grandma knows what's going on, and no one blames you..."

Then he beckoned to Lu Qiaoqing and said, "Qingqing, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Lu Qiaoqing glanced at her grandmother, then followed her outside. Lu Qiaoge said, "The night school in Xiangyang Subdistrict is reopening, and I've signed you up."

Lu Qiaoqing was taken aback: "But I still have to go to work."

"You didn't even finish the first year of junior high school, don't you want a junior high school diploma or even a high school diploma?"

Lu Qiaoqing hesitated for a moment: "I... my maternal grandmother said that she is going to use her connections to recommend me to a vocational school."

Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly. The schools recommended by others, while not universally applicable, are definitely not as good as those that one gets through the entrance exam in the long run.

Lu Qiaoge said decisively, "Going to night school and you going to school don't conflict. It's settled then. You can go back now."

Lu Qiaoqing: "..."

She didn't argue, but obediently nodded.

Lu Qiaoge didn't go to see Director He because she was very busy. Even Sun Qin went to the base to take care of her and several other elderly researchers.

As Lu Qiaoge pushed her bicycle out of the alley, she saw Qin Hengzhi's car driving towards her.

Xiao Si waved happily: "Second Sister, I'm here too."

Then she whispered, "I don't want to go to Fourth Aunt's house, okay? I'm scared of Grandma Jiang."

Then I won't go; that old lady is too territorial.

Lu Qiaoge doesn't like her either.

Qin Hengzhi placed the bicycle in the trunk of the car.

Xiao Si asked worriedly, "Won't the bicycle damage the trunk?"

Qin Hengzhi rubbed the little guy's head and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, it won't hurt."

Lu Xiaosi immediately asked worriedly, "Won't the trunk damage my second sister's bicycle? Why don't you drive away and I ride it? I can ride a bicycle now."

Lu Qiaoge: "Don't worry, no one will get hurt."

Xiao Si hummed in agreement, but didn't insist any further. He touched the bicycle, glanced at it again, and then got on.

Qin Hengzhi smiled and said, "I'll give you a new bicycle when you get into junior high school."

Xiao Si's eyes widened in surprise, and then she immediately went to look at her second sister.

Noticing that his second sister was also smiling, he then said loudly, "Thank you, Brother Qin!"

Qin Hengzhi was still smiling.

Well, several years later, he liked that promise.

There's a feeling that the future is being stretched infinitely.

When Qin Hengzhi arrived at the Lu family's house, he was taken aback. Swallows, pigeons, and sparrows were perched on a tree branch.

How weird.

The tabby cat was also at home. It was the first to pounce on Lu Qiaoge, who then picked it up and put it in Xiao Si's arms.

Then Lu Qiaoge learned something.

The dog that bit Yaya was the big black dog from the Sun family.

There were many witnesses.

There were things that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and crawled on vegetable leaves, but there wasn't a single human being.

Did nobody really see it?
Lu Qiaoge didn't believe it, but she would have to continue investigating tomorrow.

But this incident reminded Lu Qiaoge that she needed to hold a meeting with these little animals.

Putting aside others, Qin Hengzhi himself seemed to have guessed it pretty accurately.

Although he didn't mention it at all, if a conflict were to occur, Qin Hengzhi would be in a very difficult position.

Lu Qiaoge had given them instructions before, but now she needed to give them serious instructions.

　Thank you so much for your support, my darlings! I'm still asking for your monthly votes on the first day of the month, and I'll be adding more chapters. Thank you so much!
