Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 254 The house was bought.
When Su Hongmei saw Lu Qiaoge coming over, she knew that the girl had raised enough money to buy a house.

She first took Lu Qiaoge to the main office, checked the order, and then notified the finance department to transfer the money to the military factory's street office.

After finishing these tasks, Su Hongmei took Lu Qiaoge to the housing management office.

Having connections makes things easier, and since Lu Qiao had enough money in his pocket and wouldn't haggle, the deal was completed immediately.

Lu Qiaoge also thought that changing her name would take a week, but she never expected it would be done in just one afternoon.

But actually, all the leaders were there, the procedures were legal, the property certificate was ready with the name written on it, and Lu Qiaoge had brought her household registration book and letter of introduction with her, so it was all done in an hour.

After completing the procedures, Lu Qiaoge also received the key.

On the way, Lu Qiaoge went to the department store and bought a padlock, a flashlight, and batteries.

When Little Cangcang saw Lu Qiaoge and Sister Su riding their bicycles over, she excitedly told Big Mouse and Little Mouse Two: "Our little master is amazing! He's already bought this house!"

"Oh dear, then we can live here from now on, and we won't have to worry about disturbing the rest of the Lu family."

Little Cangcang said, "I'll go tell the other kids."

Then he told Lu Qiaoge: "I'll be right back."

Lu Qiaoge told it to go ahead.

The yard is large and surrounded by walls, so as long as they don't get too rowdy, the little ones can have a blast playing here.

Although it's a detached house with its own yard, people nowadays like to visit each other and see what's going on.
This is truly unstoppable.

So Lu Qiaoge took the initiative to borrow a screwdriver from her neighbor.

She had to change the lock on the front door.

She had screws readily available, but what she lacked was a screwdriver. Her neighbor happily lent her a screwdriver and then came over to watch the spectacle.

This is a woman in her forties.

Of course, she inquired about who Lu Qiaoge was. Lu Qiaoge smiled and told her, "My surname is Lu, and I work at a military factory."

As for the rest, Lu Qiaoge simply brushed them off without making a sound.

The neighbor's surname was Bai. Aunt Bai was tactful and smiled without pressing further.

After a few women chatted in the yard, Lu Qiaoge noticed that most of her pets had come over.

Even Old Black and Little Yellow Dog were standing outside the gate looking this way.

The tabby cat stood majestically on the wall, as if it were the owner.

The cat's beautiful, round eyes stared at the neighbors talking to Lu Qiaoge and said, "Little master, I'll guard your house. If anyone dares to come and steal anything, I'll scratch them to death..."

The little yellow dog barked a few times, perhaps feeling embarrassed to bother Lu Qiaoge, and said, "Little fairy, your house is so big!" Then it wagged its tail, turned around, and ran away.

Lu Qiaoge thanked Sister Su for her help and told her that she would invite her to a state-run restaurant for dinner sometime.

Sister Su waved her hand: "Why are you being so polite with me? We're practically family."

Lu Qiaoge was her benefactor. After meeting her, not only did she save her child, but everything she did went smoothly afterward. She was even promoted to deputy section chief despite not meeting the usual requirements. If it weren't for Lu Qiaoge, she would still be counting money in her big office.

After talking for a while, Su Hongmei got on her bicycle and left.

The neighbors who had come to watch the commotion also left.

The newly purchased house is now only occupied by Lu Qiaoge and a group of small animals.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at her watch; it was a little past three in the afternoon.

The sun was still in the western sky, radiating the unique bright light of late summer and early autumn.

Lu Qiaoge closed the door, and to be honest, she was also a little excited; she actually had her own house.

But now that I've bought the house, I can't keep it a secret. I have to tell my parents tonight.

They'll definitely be shocked, and they'll be eager to come and see the house.

But they won't move here.

Grandma won't come either. Although the Lu family home is crowded, it's surrounded by old neighbors.

Not only will they not come, they will not allow themselves to come either.

But Lu Qiaoge didn't have time to worry about that now; she was focused on the basement.

The entrance to the basement is not in the main house.

It was in the front yard. There was a well in the yard, covered with a stone slab. It was an old-fashioned hand-cranked well, and the bucket rope hadn't been taken away.

This basement is cleverly built; it's inside the well.

It wasn't at the very bottom, but more than two meters from the wellhead.

Lu Qiaoge opened the stone slab and glanced down, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

If the entrance is here, how did they put things in back then?
And did they really need to make it so complicated?

Or is there another entrance?
But Little Cangcang and Little Rat Er only found one entrance.

I couldn't even see where the ventilation openings were.

Lu Qiaoge couldn't resist wrapping the well rope around herself a few times, then pulled herself down with the rope.

When Lu Qiaoge was more than a meter down the well, her hand touched the button that Xiao Cangcang had told her about, a not-so-obvious protruding stone.

Then he pushed the door open.

If she hadn't been strong, she wouldn't have been able to open the door.

The door is also ingeniously designed, with an outer circle that fits snugly against the wall, making it completely invisible.

It's pitch black inside.

Lu Qiaoge took out her newly bought flashlight and shone it inside. It turned out to be a smooth-looking downward passage.

Little Cangcang told her: "Little master, we've found an exit. It's a slope, like a slide, but it's probably not clean and might get your clothes dirty."

Lu Qiaoge glanced at the clothes she was wearing.

Blue plaid shirt, denim overalls, and Warrior sneakers.
She did it so that it would be more convenient for her to run errands by bicycle.

Good things really do come with difficulties.

Lu Qiaoge waved her hand: "It's nothing, I'll go down and take a look."

She glanced at the situation and figured it should be fine to squat down, so Lu Qiaoge tied her hair into a bun and actually squatted down.

It was similar to what she had seen, about five meters long, and it was a slope. She quickly stood on the ground.

Lu Qiaoge took a dozen steps forward and suddenly her view opened up.

This is a basement that is about 100 square meters.

The north wall was stacked with wooden crates.

The number they counted was the same as the number Xiao Cangcang and the others counted; it was exactly twenty-nine.

Surprisingly, it was very well preserved, without any damage or decay.

Lu Qiaoge didn't rush to open it, but instead walked around the basement and saw Japanese writing on the wall.

Apart from this, nothing else was found.

Those few Japanese sentences probably don't have any special meaning; they just translate to "hahaha."

It was probably drawn randomly.

Therefore, Lu Qiaoge felt that her guess was correct.

It really was another stronghold of the group that illegally mined the old gold mine.

Lu Qiaoge placed the flashlight next to the box, and then took down another box.

The box was made of wood and had no iron lock, but all four corners were covered with sheet metal.

The basement was filled with an indescribable smell, but there was no feeling of suffocation.

Lu Qiaoge opened the box, and even in the basement, the gold inside shone with a golden light.

It truly proves the saying that gold shines wherever it is.

Lu Qiaoge opened ten boxes in one go.

It's like opening a treasure chest.

The seven boxes were filled with gold dust, no different from what was dug out from under the tree.

The other two chests contained gold nuggets and ingots, and the third chest contained seven large stones...
