Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 424 I'm Penniless
When Lu Qiaoge went on stage to receive the award, the applause from the audience was thunderous. When she walked off the stage with the certificate in her hand, the applause continued for a long time.

The most enthusiastic participants were the worker representatives from the food factory and the handicraft factory. Their palms were red from clapping, and their faces were filled with pride and joy.

Liang Aishu sat alone in a corner of the venue, gazing absently at the radiant Lu Qiaoge.

She seemed to be enveloped in a halo of light, radiant and dazzling.

He thought blankly: Maybe my engagement to Lu Qiaoge was really just a dream...
-
Lu Qiaoge carried a bag of things and rushed to the staff hospital.

Mr. Sun was not provided with separate housing by the hospital and continued to live in the staff dormitory.

Actually, this is more convenient.

Old Master Sun has never been good at cooking; at most, he can only brew tea and cook porridge, and that's only because he used the spiritual water given to him by Lu Qiaoge.

The staff hospital has a canteen, and the dormitory is well-heated, which is much more convenient than living alone. So, Mr. Sun is content with the status quo and has no plans to move.

During this period, Mr. Sun went to Baihe Mountain.

Mr. Gu's health has basically recovered. A person who was once unable to take care of himself has stood up again and even returned to the state before he got sick. This is undoubtedly a medical miracle.

In addition, Zhang Quan and Aunt Lu were able to stand up again thanks to Grandpa Sun's acupuncture and special plasters.

Lu Qiaoge once suggested that he keep the plaster formula a secret and save it for his retirement.

Old Sun chuckled and said, "It's alright. When I get old and no one takes care of me, Qiao Ge, just give me some food and water."

Lu Qiaoge burst into laughter upon hearing this.

As for Lu Yun's recovery, Old Sun did not play a significant role.

It was more the scripts created by Lu Qiaoge that were stimulating.

That was, after all, the most painful memory in Lu Yun's life. Even if she seemed to have forgotten it on the surface, it was still buried deep in her heart.

But based on these three cases alone, Mr. Sun has already attracted widespread attention in certain circles.

He then received a secret mission.

When Lu Qiaoge arrived at the staff hospital, she found several cars parked outside, their license plates looking particularly mysterious.

Qin Hengzhi stood upright at the hospital entrance, waiting.

Things happened rather suddenly.

Lu Qiaoge originally worked at the street office. She received a call from Old Sun, who said that he would be leaving Jiangcheng for a while and that his return date was uncertain.

Grandpa Sun asked her if she had any homemade tea eggs at home, as he wanted to take some with him on the road.

Lu Qiaoge immediately understood.

She took leave and rushed home to cook a pot of tea eggs as quickly as possible.

Although the flavors didn't fully infuse due to the short time, the weather is getting cooler now, so even if it's kept in a large ceramic jar, it can be preserved for a few days, and the flavors will slowly seep in.

She also prepared some instant noodles. Although Grandpa Sun didn't mention it, Lu Qiaoge knew that this was the most convenient thing to eat on the journey, at least it would make her stomach feel more comfortable.

In addition, she also brought Mr. Sun a sweater and scarf that she had originally intended to give him for the New Year.

Qin Hengzhi was surprised to learn that Old Master Sun specifically wanted to see Lu Qiaoge before leaving, and only after asking did he find out that it was for tea eggs.

He glanced at his partner with a deep look in his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "Come on, I'll take you inside. Old Sun is waiting for your tea eggs."

"Are you coming along too?" Lu Qiaoge looked Qin Hengzhi up and down and asked in a low voice.

"I'll be responsible for Elder Sun's safety within the city. Someone else will take over after he leaves," Qin Hengzhi replied. Lu Qiaoge didn't ask any more questions, already guessing Elder Sun's destination.

Entering Old Sun's dormitory, Lu Qiaoge began taking things out one by one: "This is a tea egg, and this is instant noodles. If you get hungry on the way, just soak them in hot water and eat them."

As she tidied up, she asked, "By the way, why didn't you take the train?"

"This time I'll be going by plane."

Lu Qiaoge was a little puzzled. Didn't Jiangcheng also have an airport?
Before she could ask, Old Master Sun explained, "We need to go to Baihe Mountain first. Old Master Gu will be going to Beidu with me."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Qiaoge couldn't help but wonder: Could it be to verify Old Master Gu's recovery?

If Elder Sun can truly play a crucial role, that would be ideal, but what if he can't...?

Seeing her worry, Old Sun smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, they are all humble people, and they are seniors I admire all my life. I will do my best."

Hearing what Elder Sun said, Lu Qiaoge said no more. She continued to take out more precious things from her bag: two wild ginseng roots that were over a hundred years old, three purple lingzhi mushrooms, and then handed several medical books from her spatial bookshelf to Elder Sun.

Old Sun was stunned. Seeing the medicinal herbs of such high quality, his hands trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but glance at Qin Hengzhi, who was standing quietly at the door, only to see that the other party's expression was normal, as if he was already used to Lu Qiaoge taking out these things.

Is it because they are calm and collected, or were they mentally prepared in advance?

Old Sun shook his head, ceasing his wild thoughts.

He took the medical book with a complicated expression, his fingers trembling slightly, and whispered to Lu Qiaoge, "These books... even if you don't give them to me, they can still be family heirlooms."

“No one in my family studies medicine, so what’s the use of keeping them? Only in your hands can they realize their greatest value.” Lu Qiaoge smiled. “Besides, if a child of yours does study medicine in the future, you can just take him as your apprentice, right?”

Old Sun chuckled: "You mean your child? It's hard to say whether I'll even live that long!"

"What are you saying? Are you cursing yourself or me?" Lu Qiaoge glared at him.

Old Sun tried to control his emotions and then joked, "You and Hengzhi have been dating for several months now, haven't you thought about when to get married?" As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Hengzhi, "You can't let the girl bring up marriage first, don't you know you're in a hurry?"

Qin Hengzhi finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of indulgence: "Qiao Ge has her own plans, and I'll listen to her."

Old Sun pursed his lips, then looked at Lu Qiaoge, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excited emotions. He had invited Lu Qiaoge not for the medical book, but to give her the pills he had recently developed, which contained spiritual spring water provided by Lu Qiaoge.

“Girl,” said Old Sun, “I’m penniless, I don’t have a single penny in my pocket, and I have no gift to give you. Here are some pills for you, I don’t know if you’ll mind?”

Even so, he solemnly handed a sandalwood box from his desk to Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge took the wooden box and couldn't help but tease, "You said you didn't have a single penny? You even use a sandalwood box to store pills. Is sandalwood everywhere now?"

Only then did Old Sun smile.

The box has three layers, and each layer indicates how to use the pills.

"Just store it in a cool, dry place. There are no contraindications for taking it; it can be taken before or after meals." Old Sun specifically pointed to the three pills at the very back: "These three pills must be kept safe; they can save lives in critical moments."

This must be the pill that Old Master Sun made using that precious formula.

The required medicinal materials were extremely difficult to find. Even with Elder Sun's connections, only nine pills could be made, and he actually left three of them for Lu Qiaoge.

"Eating more won't help. If even one pill doesn't work, then we can only leave it to fate."

Old Sun paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, this has a remarkable effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."
