Chapter 38: First Time, Second Time, Familiar

Lu Qiaoge was born in the military factory’s staff quarters, so he must have many acquaintances there.

She thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the man who called himself Uncle Wei seemed to live upstairs from Liang Aishu's house.

Since Lu Qiaoge has intervened in this trouble, there is no reason for him to give up.

She pressed the bookcase and refused with a smile: "No, I want this bookcase too."

"You don't go to school, what do you need a bookcase for?"

Old Wei asked with a frown.

Lu Qiaoge asked unhappily, "If you don't go to school, you can't have a bookcase, Uncle Wei, what's your idea?"

Lao Wei: ...

Everyone says this girl is good-for-nothing and as stupid as a pig, but she is actually very eloquent.

But he wasn't going to fight with a little girl for junk, so he turned around and walked away with a cold face.

Lu Qiage managed to finish the math, physics, chemistry and Chinese textbooks for junior high and high school. As for politics, he was not in a hurry.

Lu Qiage first carried the books to the front door, and then went with his sister to carry the cabinet.

Lao Zhong was still listening to the radio, but he turned down the volume.

Lu Qiaoge asked Lao Zhong with a smile how much all this cost in total.

"Three dollars!" Old Zhong said without raising his eyes.

Seeing his look, Lu Qiaoge completely gave up the idea of ​​giving him the books and money.

She had one dollar in her hand, so she had to borrow something from the book temporarily. But before she could hand over the money, Lao Wei came out. There were only a few broken cabinets in the scrap yard, and this one was the most complete. Although it was not made of good wood, it was strong and could be used after some cleaning. He really liked it.

Take Lu Qiaoge for example: "Your house is so small, won't it take up space if I buy it?"

Lu Qiaoge didn’t want to pay attention to him, but this person immediately said: “If it was Chen Yun, she would have happily given it to me after I said that. You are really not as sensible as her!”

Lu Qiaoling glared: "Why are you so harsh in your words?"

Lu Qiaoge held his angry sister and said slowly: "Uncle Wei, if you didn't mention Chen Yun, I would really agree, but you insisted on mentioning Chen Yun, then I would rather carry her back and chop her up for firewood than let her be given to you!"

Lao Wei: ...

This guy is quite rude.

The news of falling into the water and breaking off the engagement was almost spreading throughout the compound, and Liang Aishu lived downstairs from his house. Liang Aishu was now dating Chen Yun, and his wife had told him about it several times.

So why mention Chen Yun when there are so many other people to mention?

Lu Qiaoge handed the money to Lao Zhong and said to Lu Qiaoling, "Take it back and chop it up for firewood."

Lu Qiaoling is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.

"You are such a rude person. My sister is my sister, Chen Yun is Chen Yun. They have nothing to do with each other. Why are you comparing them? What? If I give it to you, I am sensible. If I don't, I am not. What about you? You are snatching something that we like. I say that you, a senior official, are just like a robber. Do you want to hear me?"

Old Wei also widened his eyes. Neither of Old Lu's two daughters was an easy person to deal with.

Lu Qiaoge gave Lu Qiaoling a thumbs up affectionately, then put the books into the cabinet and tied the cabinet door with the rope she had just picked up. She lifted the heavy end and did not look at the unhappy Old Wei. The two sisters lifted the cabinet and left.

After the two walked away, Old Wei's face turned red and he said, "People from the same family are alike. They are both like shrews. No wonder Liang Aishu looks down on her."

Lao Zhong glanced at him, turned up the volume and continued listening to the radio.

Old Wei walked around and finally left angrily.

The scrap collection station was not close to the Lu family, but Lu Qiaoge was very strong, so Lu Qiaoling got home without feeling any effort.

The gate to the Lu family's courtyard opened, and Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiaoling carried in a shabby bookcase.

Meng Xia thought someone gave it to her, but she heard Lu Qiaoge say, "Mom, it wasn't given to me. I bought it at the scrap yard for two dollars."

Meng Xia felt that Lu Qiaoge made her proud, but she was also angry at this moment.

"There's not much space in the house, where are you going to put this broken cabinet? You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household. Don't you know how much you can buy with two yuan? You're such a spendthrift..."

Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiaoling put the bookcase away, and the tabby cat jumped on it and started to grab one of the drawers with its claws.

[It’s right here, it’s right here, little master, please open it and take a look.] 】

Lu Qiaoge said to it in his heart: "Open it after a few days, otherwise there will be another trap right after you discover one. Smart people will get suspicious."

How could there be so many coincidences for her to encounter them twice in one day?

The tabby cat felt bored and jumped down from the top.

Old Lady Lu sat under a tree, fanning herself. She squinted her eyes and said slowly, "I feel like this tabby cat is very popular. Did it remember what happened on your dressing table this morning and think there are treasures in this cabinet?"

Then he said to Meng Xia: "I've already bought it, so stop talking about it."

Lu Qiaoling ran to wash the rag and took the initiative to say, "Second sister, you were almost the only one who lifted it just now. I didn't do much. I will wipe the cabinet."

What worries Lu Qiaoge is that he still has to ask Meng Xia for money.

This matter is also a matter of fact, she said shamelessly: "Mom, lend me ten yuan, I will pay you back when I get my salary."

Meng Xia glared: "You've only worked one day, and you've already spent almost half a month's salary. Our family still owes us money."

Lu Xiaosi came over and pulled Meng Xia's collar, whispering, "Mom, I feel much better these days. Can you please not go buy medicine next month?"

Every time he bought medicine, he had to spend thirty yuan, and he felt like a burden and a nuisance.

And he doesn't like taking medicine.

It’s really bitter.

Lu Qiage didn't understand pharmacology, but he learned from the old turtle that this prescription was still okay, just a little expensive. But there was no other way, as many Chinese medicines were not for sale now. And the old Chinese doctor only treated the patient out of Lu Da's face.

Although Meng Xia complained, she took out the money happily. However, she said to Lu Qiaoge: "I only have 20 yuan left in my pocket. You have to spend it sparingly, you hear me?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded obediently.

She had to find a way to make money.

Of course, before that, you have to go to Red Star Lake.

This time, Lu Qiaoling followed him shamelessly, and of course Lu Xiaosi was also with him.

However, there were several old men fishing at the lake that Lu Qiaoge often went to today.

The old turtle and the big carp didn't make any noise, they must have run far away.

Lu Qiaoge led his sister and brother to a deserted place.

I brought two small iron buckets today.

Prepare to bring back more at once.

Meng Xia knew that her second daughter always came back with a full load, so she was very happy to make room for a large iron basin for her.

If you can’t finish it, you can keep it inside and eat it slowly.

Others can also dry fish.

The three people and the cat walked very quickly and reached the other side in almost the blink of an eye.

Several old men breathed a sigh of relief. If they didn't leave and keep making noise, they would have no chance of catching any fish.

The tabby cat stood on a relatively high rock, stretching its neck and meowing.

This is the old turtle and the big carp that it is familiar with.

Unexpectedly, the naughty swallow flew over from the lake with a piece of grass in its mouth.

Lu Qiaoge stretched out his hand, and Naughty Yan, who had recovered his strength, placed a palm-sized white water plant in the palm of Lu Qiaoge's hand.
