Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 338 She wanted to provoke Lu Qiaoge

Cao Lanzhu glanced again at her grandfather, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

Although he is not speaking now, it doesn't mean he hasn't heard what his second aunt said.

Cao Lanzhu said, "I know Qin Ruixue has ulterior motives. But I really did want to see Lu Qiaoge. Although I didn't have much interaction with her during my trip to Jiangcheng, to be honest, I admire her. The atmosphere when we met was very harmonious and there was no conflict. I didn't provoke her just now."

She did want to provoke Lu Qiaoge, but was that girl someone she could provoke?
He held up the instant noodles in his hand: "These are instant noodles produced by Jiangcheng Xiangyang Food Factory. They're meant to earn foreign exchange. I heard from Qiao Ge that we're going to attend the Canton Fair soon. If all goes well, we'll sign orders with foreigners. We'll prioritize exports to earn foreign exchange, which means we can't buy them even if we wanted to right now."

Grandpa Cao immediately put down the newspaper in his hand.

Generally speaking, it's not unusual to develop a new food product.

But this food is different from others.

It requires a production line that we don't have in China to manufacture.

Whether it's the outer packaging, the sauce packets and seasonings, or even the technology involved in the noodles, it's all the most advanced in the world.

I once had the opportunity to sample Xiangyang brand instant noodles at a small conference.

As for the taste, it's incredibly fresh and delicious, something no one would have expected.

Grandpa Cao's eyes crinkled with amusement as he looked at Cao Lanzhu with great admiration: "Qin Hengzhi's girlfriend isn't an ordinary girl. She's the one who spearheaded the development of this instant noodle. If you can become friends with her, it will only benefit you. As for instant noodles, Grandpa knows about them. Your second aunt certainly doesn't. Go quickly and prepare them according to the method I told you... No, no, no, I know there are many ways to eat instant noodles, but boiling them tastes the best. You can add eggs and vegetables..."

Cao Jing stared in shock at her incessantly talking father.

Then he looked at the instant noodles that Cao Lanzhu was holding.

She had never seen food packaged so beautifully before.

Just from the packaging, someone who didn't know better would think it was imported from abroad.

Is it really produced in our country right now?

After washing up, Lu Qiaoge went downstairs and had lunch feeling refreshed.

After lunch, Grandma Qin said, "If you're tired, take a rest. If you're not tired, Hengzhi, take Qiaoge for a walk in the yard."

Lu Qiaoge's eyes were bright as she said, "Aunt Guo's cooking is so delicious, we're all stuffed. Hengzhi and I will go for a walk."

Aunt Guo's cooking skills are even better than Sun Qin's.

You can imagine how delicious her cooking must be.

Lu Qiaoge works so hard just so she can eat and drink well.

When you encounter delicious food, you should definitely savor it.

Grandma Qin really liked this cheerful and generous girl.

She's beautiful and eats elegantly, but she doesn't eat cat food. Watching her eat, I couldn't help but eat half a bowl more myself.

"Go ahead, the weather in the north is neither too hot nor too cold this season, it's the perfect time of year."

So Qin Hengzhi took Lu Qiaoge on a tour of the compound.

The warm autumn sun shines through the golden sycamore leaves, casting dappled shadows, and a breeze rustles the leaves.

The courtyard was full of life; some elderly people were playing chess under the trees, some women were drying winter vegetables, and several teenagers were chasing and playing in the open space.

Young people also rode by on bicycles, their bells jingling as they sped past.

Even the larger compounds, which are considered to be of higher standard, are actually family housing.

"Haha, Hengzhi is back! Who is this? Introduce him to us!"

A sharp-eyed young man in a military green shirt immediately ran over, followed by several curious companions.

Qin Hengzhi smiled slightly and introduced them to each other: "Qiao Ge, this is Zhou Zheng, Wu Ming, and Liu Gang. They are all childhood friends from the compound. This is my girlfriend, Lu Qiao Ge."

Zhou Zheng and the others looked at Lu Qiaoge with curiosity and a bit of respect, after all, she was the first person to be brought back to the compound by Qin Hengzhi to meet his parents.

"Hello." Lu Qiaoge nodded with a smile, her attitude natural.

Others might not know, but she knew Zhou Zheng; it was he who helped her find out about Sun Ziliang.

This person has a wide network of connections and is very warm-hearted. He is a close friend of Qin Hengzhi.

Zhou Zheng and the others smiled and said, "Hello, hello."

Qin Hengzhi was about to continue walking forward with Lu Qiaoge, but Zhou Zheng had something to tell him.

So Zhou Zheng pulled Qin Hengzhi aside: "Hengzhi, it's been so long since I've seen you. Let's go to the activity room and play some ping-pong." Qin Hengzhi glanced at Zhou Zheng, then at Lu Qiaoge.

This is to ask for her opinion.

Lu Qiaoge nodded with a smile.

Table tennis is one of the most popular sports in China.

The cultural center of the military factory has a dedicated table tennis room.

There are also homemade ping-pong tables outside. Nowadays, not many people like to play football, but ping-pong is a sport that both the elderly and children can play a few rounds of.

A crowd of onlookers gathered in the activity room.

Zhou Zheng is a well-known table tennis player in the compound and a frequent visitor here.

This activity room is indoors and has a large space with more than a dozen tables.

Cao Lanzhu was also there, and immediately greeted Lu Qiaoge upon seeing her.

She needed to let people know that she and Lu Qiaoge had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.

Although Lu Qiaoge is not someone to be trifled with, if you show her kindness in public, she will definitely not make you lose face.

Such a person actually possesses great personal charm.

"Qiao Ge, Qiao Ge." She waved enthusiastically, then ran over with her racket in hand: "Qiao Ge, you're here! How many days can you stay in Beidu? What are your plans for the next few days?"

Lu Qiaoge replied with a smile, "About five days, um, just wander around."

It must have been Qin Hengzhi who brought them along.

A bittersweet feeling inevitably lingered in my heart.

Qin Hengzhi is a top figure among the young people in the compound.

Leaving aside her, which of the girls in the compound hasn't had a crush on Qin Hengzhi?

They just don't show it.

She asked, "Want to play for a while? I'll play with you."

Just then, a few girls walked over.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Lanzhu introduced the two parties.

At this moment, a racket was shoved into Qin Hengzhi's hand. Zhou Zheng said, "Let's warm up first. I have something to tell you later."

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiaoge beside him and found that she was talking to a few girls.

So, he went with Zhou Zheng to the other side of the platform.

Most young people nowadays play table tennis.

Moreover, many of them played very well.

Qin Hengzhi and Zhou Zheng are both among the more skilled individuals.

The back-and-forth immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Lu Qiaoge also looked over there; Qin Hengzhi was playing table tennis very well.

Both she and Qin Hengzhi were busy and only went to the ping-pong room once.

Of course, no one can beat her.

Qin Hengzhi was no exception.

But here, Qin Hengzhi should be considered the most skilled.

At this moment, a tall, haughty girl glanced at Qin Hengzhi, bit her lip, looked directly at Lu Qiaoge, and asked, "Do you know how to play ping pong?"

Lu Qiaoge knew that the girl's name was Jiang Lan.

In response to her question, Lu Qiaoge replied naturally, "Yes."

If you know it, you know it. Why pretend you don't?

　The update is a little late, but the same time will be tomorrow. Love you all!!!
