Chapter 243 Swallows Preparing to Fly South

Thinking back on our interactions over this period of time.

Captain Lin would occasionally bring over fresh fruits and eggs.

Even if all the supplies were returned, this cannot be calculated in this way.

Some foods cannot be obtained through exchange.

So Lu Qiaoge whispered, "The food factory is hiring. I'll reserve a spot for Liangzi."

Captain Lin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his voice trembling as he asked Lu Qiaoge, "Really...really?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded, reassuring Captain Lin that there would be no problem.

Captain Lin didn't know how to express his gratitude. He would remember the great kindness he had received.

Lu Qiaoge: "Those two are also newcomers, mainly responsible for this mushroom purchase. Judging from the current situation, they will come every day for the next few days. You should write down Liangzi's details first, and I will register him when I get back. This recruitment also requires an exam and various checks. You need to be healthy and free from infectious diseases. However, we also have an arts and crafts factory. If Liangzi can't go to the food factory, it's okay. He can work as a handicraft worker in the arts and crafts factory."

Captain Lin nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Qiao Ge. But Liangzi isn't clumsy either; he can weave basketball hoops and straw hats."

This was an unexpected surprise.

There's nothing wrong with either of the two factories.

Those who dare to go to the city to take the job recruitment exam must have some ability, even without a powerful backer.

Not to mention that Lin Liang actually has weaving skills.

Lu Qiaoge introduced the three of them, and Sun Datian immediately shook hands with Liangzi warmly.

Gu Zitun and the other two knew that it was the village where Director Lu first traded goods.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them became much more familiar with each other.

Lu Qiaoge didn't linger there. She told Captain Lin that if there were any mountain products such as wood ear mushrooms and hazelnuts, they could be purchased, and the price would be discussed later.

In previous years, mushrooms, wood ear fungus, and other mountain products were only used to exchange for daily necessities at the market. This year is the first time that I can openly exchange them for money.

Captain Lin didn't want to miss this opportunity, and besides, once the leaves had all fallen, it would be much harder to pick them.

As long as Lu Qiaoge accepts it, he will definitely be able to collect it all for her.

Lu Qiaoge then rode her bicycle back to the city.

It wasn't far away, and there were tabby cats to keep you company along the way, as well as swallows and pigeons flying in the sky.

Lu Qiaoge was most concerned about Tao Tao and Nini.

The two of them will soon be setting off for the south.

Together with the swallows here.

Swallows held a meeting on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, but disappeared on the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month.

Lu Qiaoge listened with great interest to what Tao Tao was telling her about flying south.

Unlike geese, they don't have a fixed lead geese. Last year, both it and Nini served as lead geese.

As Tao Tao flew, she said, "I gained sentience the year before last. At first, I felt very confused and wasn't actually very happy. I always felt strange, different from people and different from swallows. Fortunately, I met Nini, but I rarely see my familiar friends anymore. Sigh, if it weren't for the babies, Nini and I wouldn't have planned to leave." Tao Tao's mood turned somewhat melancholic as she spoke: "I didn't care before, but this year we have Little Fairy and so many friends to chat with. Hua Hua is arrogant, but very protective of her own; Xiao Hui is carefree, but has a broad perspective. They always make us feel that tomorrow will be better than today."

The old turtle has many stories in its belly. The big pike doesn't like to talk, but it protects the weak and loves my three little babies. It knows they can't understand, but it still tells them stories. The big carp loves to dance, the grass carp loves to sing, and even the three sparrows that always want to take over my house are kind-hearted and often help us and Nini take care of the babies.

There's also Little Cangcang, and Rat Rat Er. The three of them are the most well-behaved. They never cause trouble or argue with us, but actually, they are very capable. They are currently scouting all over the city, looking for treasures.

The little yellow dog always does somersaults with joy whenever it sees me. The old black cat loves kittens, whether human or animal; it even caught insects for my kitten. Oh, and there's Dian Dian and the black snake from Yuanbao Mountain. Dian Dian is busy storing food for winter, and we even went out together once to help it find food. That feeling was so wonderful and joyful. Actually, before, Hua Hua and the black snake were enemies, but now we're good friends. My only worry is that this trip might never come back.

Lu Qiaoge had been listening with a smile.

But upon hearing the rest, I was startled; it became rather heavy and sorrowful.

Although she knew Tao Tao wasn't making things up, she still said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone's waiting for you and Nini to come back and tell us about your experiences abroad. You two have it so good; you can go abroad whenever you want, no approvals, no passports, and no need to exchange money for foreign currency. You just flap your wings and fly away. Even I'm envious."

Xiaohui and Huahua both said that they could also go abroad freely without needing any documents, which was very convenient.

Xiaohui said, "If I could grow bigger and stronger wings, I could carry you, my little master, anywhere I wanted to go."

Hua Hua spends the most time with Qin Hengzhi.

Sometimes, when Qin Hengzhi saw Huahua at the window in his office, he would open the window and let her in.

Hua Hua was very well-behaved, lying in front of his desk. Occasionally, Qin Hengzhi would tell Hua Hua some interesting stories, regardless of whether it could understand or not.

So when Hua Hua heard Xiao Hui's words, she loudly retorted: "You're dreaming! Let me tell you, don't think the air is safe. The air is monitored, in every country, by radar and even satellites. Even if your wings grew bigger, you couldn't carry our little fairy. If you're discovered, you'll be shot down."

Lu Qiaoge looked at Huahua in shock: "Wow, Huahua, you even know about radar and satellites."

She didn't tell Hua Hua any of this.

Hua Hua proudly raised her cat head: "Qin Hengzhi told me all this. He even told me where I can and can't go as a cat."

Tao Tao suddenly said, "I remember now too. The day before yesterday, Qin Hengzhi was reading by the window, talking about birds and radar, especially during autumn migrations, when they are easily detected by radar."

Lu Qiaoge blinked his eyes.

A wonderful warmth welled up inside me.

Qin Hengzhi hadn't told her about this; it seems he told them on purpose.

However, I didn't tell him the details about the animals.

It must have been difficult for him to rely on his own guesses for everything.

But since I'm free anyway, I'll see how far he can guess.

Lu Qiaoge thought with a rather wicked sense of humor.

Tao Tao was feeling a bit sad, but Hua Hua's interruption instantly dispelled that sadness.

After all, they are small animals, and they don't have as many complicated ideas as humans.

Even if they develop intelligence, they are still pure and innocent. Sadness and joy are just emotions; one comes and the other goes.

Tao Tao seemed to have forgotten the dangers on the migration route that had just been mentioned, and the sadness that it and Nini might never return.

It happily chased after Xiaohui, asking how it could make its wings bigger.
