Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 469 I was also forced
There was an oil lamp in the house before they knocked on the door.

The Lishu Brigade hasn't installed power lines yet, so there are no electric lights.

Every household used either kerosene lamps or candles.

Around 8 p.m., most people were asleep, and only a few households still had their lights on.

This includes the old Qu family.

Many rural people don't hang curtains, so you can see people sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) talking by the light.

The moment Lu Qiaoge uttered those words, a figure blew out the oil lamp with a "poof".

Then the Qu family was plunged into darkness.

This was the first time Chen Zhi had gone out to work at night, and she found everything new and exciting.

At this moment, she stared wide-eyed in shock and said, "What...what does this mean?"

"What else could it mean? It's because they feel guilty."

Lu Qiaoge continued to knock on the door, calling out as she did so: "Aunt Qu, Aunt Qu, I've seen you! Open the door quickly! It's great news! The higher-ups have given Caifeng two job openings, but the registration form has to be submitted tomorrow morning. I saw that Qu Caifeng hadn't returned yet, so I had to come to your house. If this is delayed, it would be such a loss, wouldn't it?"

The few people inside the room looked at each other in the darkness.

But actually blowing out the light is a very foolish thing to do.

Old Man Qu glared at Old Woman Qu in the darkness.

"Quickly turn on the light." Then he said to his younger son, "Go open the door quickly."

Old Mrs. Qu grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, "No, we can't open the door, we can't let them in."

"But those are job openings! The application deadline is tomorrow morning. It would be such a shame to miss out."

The youngest brother, Qu, was unaware of what his family had done to his eldest sister. He was studying at the commune and didn't come home for lunch; even now, he had only just returned.

He said without any warning, "My older sister isn't home. She went home, but... she didn't get home. Mom and Dad, quickly light the oil lamp! Has something happened to my older sister?"

Standing outside the door, Chen Zhi looked curiously into the courtyard.

The boy who's talking is quite funny.

However, I had some concerns.

She didn't know Qu Caifeng, but she heard that the person had already gone back. However, they came looking for her, so she must not have gone back. Could something have happened to her on the way?
At this moment, Old Mrs. Qu and Old Mr. Qu in the house exchanged a glance... That's right, everyone says that Cai Feng has gone home, and no one knows that she is in Shan Gen Brigade. Aren't they feeling guilty?

Qu Dadi, who was standing to the side, lowered his voice and said, "Let's light the lamps."

So the lights in the house were turned on, and the Qu family's door was opened, but they didn't let Lu Qiaoge and the others in.

Old Mrs. Qu glanced warily at the three young men who had arrived.

Before Old Lady Qu could ask, Shao Le stepped forward and showed her his work ID with a flashlight, saying, "We're all from Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. Where's Comrade Qu Caifeng?"

Old Mrs. Qu clenched her hands tightly together, her voice trembling slightly, but she still managed to say, "She...she went home. What happened? Didn't you see her?"

"Yes, we didn't see her. Qu Caifeng didn't go home at all, which is why we came to pick her up." Lu Qiaoge said seriously, "Then something must have happened." Qu Caifeng isn't at the Qu family's house right now, so there's no point in going into the courtyard.

Lu Qiaoge also comforted Granny Qu: "Qu Caifeng hasn't gone home yet, she must have had an accident on the way. We'll go to the commune to report it now. Don't worry, we'll let you know as soon as we have any news."

With that, Lu Qiaoge took the lead and walked outside.

Shao Le still didn't understand many things, but as long as he cooperated with Lu Qiaoge, he could do it well. He pulled Chen Zhi along and they ran away.

The Qu family never expected that the people who came would not ask any questions, and as soon as they found out that the person was not there, they would go to the commune to report the case.

Realizing what was happening, Old Man Qu shouted, "Don't call the police yet, wait a minute!"

Lu Qiaoge stopped in her tracks, but she was somewhat surprised.

Because the news that Xiao Cangcang told her at this time was a little different from what she expected.

The girl who was supposed to marry Qu Caifeng's brother the next day also went down into the cellar. The old lady was shouting from above, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" But the girl lowered her voice to the disheveled Qu Caifeng and said, "Don't shout. I'll find a way to get you out. Trust me, I was forced into this."

After telling Lu Qiaoge about this, Xiao Cangcang flew back in a flash.

Shao Le asked Old Man Qu, "What's the matter that you called us over?" Then, frowning, he said, "Are you going to come with us to report the case? Okay, we happen to have a car to take you there."

Old Man Qu dared not go with him to report the crime.

They thought they could get away with it without anyone noticing, but who would have thought that the military factory would come to demand their people that night?

I've never heard that brat is so popular at the military factory. Whenever she comes here, she's either criticizing this person or that person. In her opinion, there are almost no good people.

Therefore, they all assumed that Qu Caifeng was disliked in the military factory and that no one cared whether she lived or died.

"Well... what I was trying to say is that she's a grown woman, what kind of accident could happen to her? You're all overthinking it. It's very safe here now, nothing will happen. It's so late, why are you still bothering the commune?"

"She must have run off to someone's house. You wouldn't believe it, my Caifeng, even we parents can't control her. She never listens to us..."

Old Mrs. Qu, realizing what was happening, chimed in, "Yes, yes, we told her to go home early, there are still two children to go, but she said we can't control her, she can go wherever she wants, and she even wants to go to some classmate's house or some good friend's house to play..."

We don't know where she is either. If she hasn't gone home yet, then she must have gone somewhere else. Please don't bother the commune and police station officers anymore; she'll be home tomorrow.

Besides, that girl has a bad temper. She came back this time and spent ages cursing your Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. You made such a big fuss about it, practically wanting the whole commune to know. If she feels embarrassed, she'll definitely hold a grudge against you. It's not worth it, is it?

As your mother, I know what I'm doing. You should go home. As for any job openings, if you can find one, great; if not, that's just fate.

In this situation, it is not possible to report the incident to the police.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Do you know whose house she went to?"

Why did she feel that the parents of this family didn't seem worried about their daughter at all?
If it were my own parents, they would definitely come immediately without saying a word.

"How would we know? That brat never respects us. We don't even know who she's with. Oh well, you guys should hurry back to the military factory. It's really nothing, don't worry."

Shao Le was about to speak when Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Since you parents know what's going on, then alright. Aunt Qu, we're sorry to bother you so late. We'll be going now."
