Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 425 Not far, right at Yuanbao Mountain
Lu Qiaoge took the wooden box and then took out a five-kilogram plastic jug from her bag.

Old Sun's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Hengzhi, who remained calm.

The girl's unreserved trust warmed his heart.

He reached out and pressed his hand on the plastic jug, shaking his head and sighing, "There's water on the road, they won't let me get thirsty. You should take it back quickly, in case someone sees it, they might think it's liquor."

Lu Qiaoge pushed it back, saying nonchalantly, "This is spring water, different from tap water and well water. Don't you like to make tea? You can use this to make tea or pills."

She paused, then added, "If you like it, give me a call and I'll have Qin Hengzhi send it to you."

Old Sun followed up on her question by asking, "Is the place where you fetch spring water far from here?"

"It's not far, it's right at Yuanbaoshan."

Lu Qiaoge was not lying.

Yuanbaoshan not only has year-round flowing mountain spring water, but also a hot spring.

Back when Xiao Cangcang didn't know her yet, she had already chosen a place to spend the winter.

Lu Qiaoge had been there once and even soaked in the hot springs, but there were no proper roads, making it very inconvenient.

But she believes that this place will definitely be developed in a few decades, because after people have enough to eat and drink, they will always pursue enjoyment.

The spring water that flows year-round is indeed sweet, and Lu Qiaoge had already set her sights on it, planning to develop it into a mineral water source when conditions were right.

She didn't say it explicitly, but she trusted Old Sun and knew that he would never give this water to anyone easily.

Old Sun is incredibly shrewd, and his medical skills are almost mystical; I wonder if he has some secret or some extraordinary encounter.

His acupuncture skills are different from ordinary people's. Even if you want to learn them, you can only learn the basics and cannot master the core techniques.

But the prescriptions she provided and those medical books were enough to make the old man a prominent figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "I hope you live a long and healthy life. I rely on you for many things. Maybe my future children will like to study medicine."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hengzhi blushed, his heart pounded, and he stared intently at Lu Qiaoge before quickly and awkwardly looking towards the door.

Old Sun coughed and chuckled, "What can I say to you, girl? Alright, alright, I'll accept all these things. Grandpa Sun knows what he's doing."

As they walked to the door, Lu Qiaoge asked Qin Hengzhi with a grin, "Hey, why are you blushing? Is this room that hot?"

Qin Hengzhi: “…”

You've said everything, what else can I say?
He could only gently squeeze his partner's hand and whisper, "Shall I take you straight back to the neighborhood office?"

"It's okay, I can go back by myself. There's a bus stop right outside, it's only three stops away."

Qin Hengzhi drove away with his group.

While waiting for the bus, Lu Qiaoge saw a woman carrying a package slowly walking towards her.

The woman took off her scarf and exclaimed in surprise, "Qiao Ge! Qiao Ge!"

Upon seeing Zhang Quan, Lu Qiaoge quickly took a few steps to support her, looking her up and down and asking, "It's cold and the road is slippery, why did you come out?"

“It’s alright. Grandpa Sun said I can come out and exercise. I also made an appointment with your fourth aunt to go to the activity room together tonight.”

Zhang Quan continued, "I'm just about to go see Old Sun. Qiao Ge, are you going back to your unit?"

Lu Qiaoge glanced at her package and said, "Old Master Sun had urgent business to attend to back in Beidu and just left by car."

Zhang Quan exclaimed "Oh dear!" clearly unaware that Old Sun had already left the staff hospital. Clutching the bundle in her hands, she said, "These are the sauerkraut and fried dough twists I steamed for Old Sun, some pickled vegetables, and his favorite sticky rice cakes..."

Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, "They've probably already left the factory area, and I can't contact them anymore. It's a pity I have such a high-speed driving ability, but I don't dare to use it."

Zhang Quan didn't take the package back; he gave it directly to Lu Qiaoge and asked her to take it to the neighborhood office.

Lu Qiaoge did not refuse. After telling her to be careful on the way, she carried the things back to the street office.

The main office was relatively quiet today.

I wouldn't say that the area under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Subdistrict is completely harmonious, but it's close enough.

Even Lao Hu thought that this must be because Lu Qiaoge was here to keep things in check.

Normally, troublemakers, disruptive behavior, and family disputes involving favoritism towards sons and beatings of wives wouldn't dare to come to Lu Qiaoge, because the consequences would be too terrible.

Look at what happened to those people: some were executed, some were sent to farms, and some were dismissed and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Why not enjoy life to the fullest?

Not to mention, regardless of gender, if the bullied party says, "If you bully me again, I'll go to the neighborhood office to find Lu Qiaoge," it's more effective than anything else.

Of course, Lao Hu couldn't publicly promote this, but he had heard people say it more than once.

Therefore, Lao Hu feels very conflicted about this year's selection of "Five Good Families" and is not sure how to give a good evaluation.

However, recalling the envious and jealous look in Lao Han's eyes from Qianjin Subdistrict Office, his face immediately lit up with a smile when he saw Lu Qiaoge carrying a bundle as she walked in.

"Didn't I tell you to go straight home? Why are you here again? There's only half an hour left before you get off work."

Lu Qiaoge waved the bundle: "I ran into Zhang Quan on the way. She was going to bring food to Old Master Sun, but unfortunately Old Master Sun had already gone home. She still has trouble walking, so I took the food back to the neighborhood office. What do you think we should do with it?"

After saying that, Lu Qiaoge couldn't help but glance at the slogan "Don't take a single needle or thread from the masses" on the opposite wall and grinned.

Old Hu said, "We definitely can't share it; it has to be delivered to impoverished households or those receiving the five guarantees."

"Okay, let's do it."

Even with such a large factory providing wages, there are still families facing financial difficulties due to various reasons.

There are about a hundred such impoverished households in the Xiangyang Subdistrict.

We definitely can't give one bun to each family; we can only distribute them to one block at a time first.

Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to Liu Xia's house first. I haven't seen those two siblings for over a month."

Liu Xia and her brother Liu Yu depended on each other for survival.

But Liu Xia is much better off now than when she first arrived. She attended night school to learn the basics from scratch, and at the same time, she helped out in the canteen kitchen. Now she is learning the skills from the master chef.

She can't come back to cook lunch, but she prepares meals in advance for her younger brother to heat up. With the help of neighbors, the siblings' lives are much better than before.

There were also a few other families, including Master Zhao and Aunt Zhang, who had almost finished distributing their stock.

Lu Qiaoge went with Sister Qiao.

School had already started winter break, so Liu Yu was naturally at home.

But it's okay even if you're not there; you can just give the items to your neighbor to pass on.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a woman in the Liu family's courtyard speaking loudly:
“Liu Yu, even though you're the younger brother, why can't you make the decision for your sister? You're a boy, and besides, your sister loves you so much. If you agree, she'll definitely agree too. Your aunt won't harm you. Zhu Zi is a good young man, hardworking, honest, and kind. If he marries your sister, he won't look down on you. Then the three of you can live together as a family, wouldn't that be wonderful…”
