Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Only Chapter 293 can ensure that the balance is not lost.

This visual feast only came to an end as dusk settled over the land.

Qin Hengzhi looked down at Lu Qiaoge and said to her, "Sun Ziliang has already gone to the sanatorium."

Lu Qiaoge asked, "Have all the necessary medicinal herbs been prepared?"

Qin Hengzhi nodded: "They've already been taken away by Elder Sun."

Lu Qiaoge was so eager for Old Master Gu to recover for another reason: the old tortoise had told her that day that these little animals could communicate with her and benefit from her energy, especially now that there was a secluded space. Although they couldn't enter it now, she, the owner of the space, allowed them to.

This is both an opportunity and a cause, so something must be done to ensure that the balance is not disrupted.

Lu Qiaoge didn't care; she just let them do as they pleased...

In fact, Lu Qiaoge and Director He were not very familiar with each other, and they were both extremely busy. To be honest, they had only met a few times.

But every time Lu Qiaoge saw Director He, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

She rarely asked her about her life; her life revolved around work and studies.

At the last tasting event, Director He was conducting experiments at the base and couldn't come, but Lu Qiaoge still asked Qin Hengzhi to send 500 bags of instant noodles so that these big shots could have a hot meal whenever they were engrossed in their experiments.

Director He doesn't have high requirements for food, but it must suit his taste.

Director He doesn't really like instant noodles.

It's clear that Director He prefers light and simple dishes.

When she arrived, Director He was just coming out of the laboratory. His eyes lit up when he saw Lu Qiaoge. Sure enough, he asked about her work and studies. After learning that she had excellent grades, he smiled and nodded.

He then spoke with Qin Hengzhi.

Surprisingly, they didn't shy away from talking about Lu Qiaoge; they mentioned the Explorer with infrared night vision devices, though it seemed to be an upgraded version...

Lu Qiaoge thought she was well-read, but after blinking her eyes, she couldn't understand anything at all, so she simply went to the logistics department to find Sun Qin.

Sun Qin was assigned a dormitory room, which was located behind the research institute's staff quarters.

The dormitory is about 30 square meters, which is mostly living space, as it has a shared bathroom and kitchen.

They were all old-style houses, but they were kept very tidy.

A 1.5-meter bed, a large wardrobe, a five-drawer chest, a desk, and a few chairs—these are the typical furnishings in most homes nowadays. However, since it's just the mother and daughter, it feels spacious and bright because there are only two people.

Xiubo was doing his homework when he saw Lu Qiaoge and sweetly called out, "Sister Qiaoge."

She calls Meng Xia "Grandma," but insists on calling Lu Qiaoge "Sister."

You can shout whatever you want, no one will care.

Lu Qiaoge patted her little head and looked at her homework. The little girl was doing well in her studies, and all her homework was perfect.

Lu Qiaoge praised him and told Sun Qin that she had brought two bottles of sauce for Director He and placed them in the living room.

After talking for a while, feeling that the conversation had reached a point where it was almost over, Lu Qiaoge left Sun Qin's house.

Looking back, Sun Qin was leading Xiu Bo, smiling at her.

This mother and daughter were completely different from the mother and daughter she had seen before.

This shows how important the environment really is. Qin Hengzhi was waiting for her in the living room. Director He said he was going to the laboratory to supplement some data. If Elder Gu could be cured, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for the Dragon Kingdom.

She then went to her fourth uncle's house, where Qin Hengzhi waited for her on horseback outside the alley.

Before Lu Qiaoge could even enter the courtyard, she was blocked at the door by Lu Qiaoqing, who came out of the door.

Lu Qiaoge quickly took a few steps back. Lu Qiaoqing didn't see Lu Qiaoge for a moment because she was turning around and calling out, "I'm not going!"

Where to go?

When Grandma Jiang saw Lu Qiaoge, it was as if she had seen a savior; the smile on her face was truly rare.

She pulled Lu Qiaoge aside and said to her granddaughter, "Look at Qiaoge, she's a year older than you, and she's already dating someone. She might even get married next year. You're already eighteen, if you don't hurry up and find someone, all the good young men will be taken."

Lu Qiaoge did not refute it. Firstly, she was indeed in a relationship, and her boyfriend was waiting for her outside.

Secondly, she can't say she won't get married. As long as Qin Hengzhi is still the same Qin Hengzhi, and she has no intention of changing partners, then in this era, marriage is an inevitable path.

Although Lu Qiaoge didn't know what had happened, it didn't stop her from agreeing with Granny Jiang: "Granny Jiang is right, that's indeed the case."

Lu Qiaoqing stamped her foot: "But I still have to go to night school. I definitely can't get married so early. Didn't Shi Xiangqin break up with Song Jianfeng because marriage conflicted with going to night school?"

Grandma Jiang said, "Then you won't go to night school. I already said I'd try to recommend you to a vocational school."

Lu Qiaoge quickly lowered her voice and said, "Since we can find a way to recommend someone, why not go for something big, like recommending them to go to university? The universities in our province are all pretty good. Isn't a university degree better than a vocational school diploma?"

Grandma Jiang paused for a moment, then said with difficulty, "This is not easy to do."

Aunt Lu pushed the wheelchair over and said, "Mom, the recommendation is still up in the air. Besides, it's not that easy to get a recommendation. Right now, you should focus on your job and study hard at night school. We can talk about other things later."

Grandma Jiang frowned: "Do you think I'd be willing to let Qingqing date and get married so early? Well... isn't it because there are so many girls eyeing these days, especially the better young men? If you wait a few years until you're older, you can only date older men. But then the problem comes back to the same thing: how many good men are still single when they're older?"

Lu Qiaoqing pouted and said, "Then I don't want to date Zhao Jinbao either."

Grandma Jiang: "What's wrong with his family? The Zhao family only has one son. His father is a section chief, his mother is a director, and his four older sisters all treat this little brother like a treasure. If this relationship works out, what could the family possibly lack in the future? They might as well..."

Grandma Jiang probably meant to say that after marriage, the children might be raised by the husband's older sisters, but that was clearly inappropriate, so she changed her words: "...who knows how good life might be then."

Lu Qiaoge frowned and asked, "Stop, tell me, which Zhao Jinbao is it?"

Grandma Jiang's face showed a satisfied expression: "It's Zhao Jinbao, the son of Section Chief Zhao of the Propaganda Department. He works as a statistician in the Second Labor and Wage Section. He's a very outstanding young man. He also has four older sisters. They value him highly."

Lu Qiaoge: ...

No, don't Fourth Uncle and the others know that Qiao Ling once went on a blind date with Zhao Jinbao?

Even if Fourth Uncle didn't know, did Zhao Jinbao not know either?
My fourth uncle's family is well-off in some ways because most of his family members have jobs, but poorly so because of my fourth aunt's health.

Lu Qiaoge recalled that the blind date had failed that day. Meng Xia felt unlucky and embarrassed that her family had been looked down upon, so she didn't tell anyone.

Moreover, the two families lived far apart and didn't interact much.

She only came twice, and Qiao Ling never came even once.

Lu Qiaoqing only visited the Lu family once, to deliver beef-filled buns to Old Madam Lu.
