Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 427 Don't mention this person again.
Lu Qiaoling is indeed quite stingy, like a miserly creature.

It belongs to the type that only takes in and doesn't give out.

Every time Mengxia said to her, "Your sister always buys you things, can't you buy something for your sister too? Although sisters are connected by blood, they still need to get along."

Lu Qiaoling always argued confidently: "Mom, my sister really doesn't lack anything now. The things I buy are useless to her and I don't even like them. I might as well save the money and buy her a big color TV when she gets married."

It's worth mentioning that when Chuhe and Zhenxi donated those welfare supplies to Factory 516, they also sent ten large color TVs.

There is one in Lu Qiaoge's home now.

No one said anything about Lu Qiaoge having this TV; everyone felt it was something she deserved.

But to be honest, it's basically just for show.

To install this TV, they dug a hole and buried a pole in the dead of winter. If the pole wasn't tall enough, they had to tie two poles together. The antenna on top was made by Qin Hengzhi, and it can be said to have the best reception in the area, but there's still a lot of snow.

This large color TV meant that Mrs. Lin next door and her children would stay at the Lu family's house every night to watch TV for two hours before leaving.

It didn't stop even in wind and snow.

This color TV originally belonged to Lu Qiaoge, but she knew she wouldn't want it after they got married, so she decided to save up money to buy her sister a big color TV.

Knowing that Lu Qiaoling had this idea, Meng Xia stopped saying anything.

Lu Qiaoge knew about this and asked her directly, "How much money have you saved?"

Lu Qiaoling didn't hide anything and obediently said, "386 yuan."

"Oh my, you've saved up quite a bit." Lu Qiaoge said with a smile.

Lu Qiaoling proudly raised her head.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Give me all the money."

Lu Qiaoling's eyes widened suddenly: "Second sister, this is too little, it's not enough to buy a big color TV at all!"

Lu Qiaoge whispered to her, "I'll get you two gold bracelets. These things hold their value; they're better than saving money."

“Then…then I’ll give you the bracelet when you get married,” Lu Qiaoling said.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at her: "I told you to keep it for yourself, I don't need it."

"But...but I want to buy you a big color TV."

"I'm not getting married right away, so you can keep saving up," Lu Qiaoge said with a smile.

Lu Qiaoling thought about it and agreed.

My sister means she wants to continue attending night school until she graduates from high school, because she wants to go to university.

She might not get married within the next year, and then she might actually be able to save up enough money to buy a large color TV.

So Lu Qiaoling happily agreed and gave all the money she had saved to Lu Qiaoge.

Although only a small amount of unprocessed gold remained in Lu Qiaoge's space, the gold bracelets and necklaces placed in the corner were still there.

She planned to give her younger sister two gold bracelets to keep, and then find a way to give her grandmother's bracelet as well.

The Lu family's dinner was naturally quite sumptuous: braised pork, chicken stew with mushrooms, a large cold dish, cabbage stew with tofu, and carp stew with vermicelli. They also sliced ​​two plates of sausages and opened several cans of meat and luncheon meat. Indeed, as Meng Xia said, half of it was ready-made. But canned food is especially fragrant these days, and the rice steamed over a wood fire tasted particularly good.

After dinner, Qin Hengzhi drove Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng to the family compound near the military representative office.

Lu Qiaoge naturally went along.

Lu Yun was surprised that the house was so clean and everything was prepared. All she had to do was light the fire and she could start cooking. Even the seasonings were all ready.

Lu Yun looked at Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge with a gentle smile: "You two should go back too, drive carefully on the way."

On the way, Qin Hengzhi told Lu Qiaoge that Old Master Sun had arrived in Beidu, but they would definitely not be able to contact him anytime soon. Lu Qiaoge understood what Qin Hengzhi meant: don't mention this person unless it's absolutely necessary.

Although there were streetlights at night, visibility was low. When the car reached an intersection, it saw a person staggering along the roadside, wearing only a sweater and no scarf or coat.

Qin Hengzhi quickly stopped the car.

Lu Qiaoge took a look and saw that this was the location of the dormitory building in Zone 3.

She grabbed the woman who was still walking forward and turned her around.

She didn't recognize the man, but still asked with concern, "Comrade, what are you doing? Why aren't you wearing a coat? Is there an emergency at home that you need to go somewhere? Why don't you get in the car first?"

There are no buses running at night, and many people who find the journey too far ride bicycles.

Although riding a bicycle in winter is tiring, it's still much better than walking.

Fortunately, the snow on the roads is now cleared from time to time.

Two workers who were on their way to the night shift quickly got off the bus. One of them was a woman, about the same age as the older woman.

She stared in shock, her eyes wide: "Xiaomin, what are you doing? Are you trying to freeze to death? What happened? Did you have a fight with your husband? You can't just run outside in this freezing weather."

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge noticed that the woman called Xiaomin had red ears, a pale face, and was trembling all over.

His once beautiful eyes were now dull and lifeless, making him look like a walking corpse.

Needless to say, this is definitely a family conflict.

Clearly, this is not the place to talk.

The woman working the night shift asked anxiously, "Where are your family members? Where's Cheng Wen?"

Lu Qiaoge said directly, "I'm a mediator from the neighborhood committee. My name is Lu Qiaoge. If you're not going home, get in the car with me first, and I'll take you to the neighborhood committee office. Or, can we go to my house?"

The woman on the night shift was in a hurry to get to her shift, so she couldn't just stand there. She stamped her foot and said to the woman, "Xiaomin, this is Lu Qiaoge from the neighborhood office. If you need anything, just tell her, she'll definitely be able to help you."

Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement, "Comrade Lin Xiaomin, don't worry, you can talk to me if you have any difficulties."

Lu Qiaoge thought that after she said this, the other party might grab her hand and tell her about their grievances.

Unexpectedly, her previously dull eyes suddenly looked at Lu Qiaoge, and then she took several steps back, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm going back now."

Huh?
Lu Qiaoge stared wide-eyed in shock.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation; she had never been avoided like this before.

Lu Qiaoge narrowed her eyes, but did not insist on stepping forward.

After all, this woman is now like a frightened bird, clearly having experienced great pain; otherwise, she wouldn't look like this.

But she didn't want me to help her...

Do you feel that if you help someone, you might hurt someone?

Just then, a tall, slender figure staggered towards them from afar, calling out as he ran, "Xiao Min! Xiao Min! Lin Xiao Min! Xiao Min!"

Lin Xiaomin turned around abruptly, her eyes instantly filled with tears. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Lu Qiaoge, her voice trembling as she said, "Xiao Lu... Comrade Xiao Lu... can you take me away?"

Qin Hengzhi silently opened the car door.

At that moment, he realized what his girlfriend had been facing for the past six months.

I can't help but worry: after experiencing so much, will we develop all sorts of doubts about human marriage?
