Chapter 441 It’s Others Who Are Embarrassed

Lin Xiaomin remembered what Lu Qiaoge had said to her, and said with a smile, "Qiaoge told me that if it's possible, a publishing house will ask me to draw these comic strips in the future."

Mother Cheng nodded again, but didn't say anything else. After all, it wasn't 100% certain to be published yet.

For her, printing the book and displaying it in Xinhua Bookstore, and then receiving the so-called royalties, that is the real thing.

Lin Xiaomin then warned: "Mom, you must not tell anyone else. If this doesn't work out, we will be laughed at. We are a family, I will definitely not hide it from you."

"Don't worry, I'm not that talkative. How could I tell someone something like this?"

Because of this conversation, the awkward atmosphere between the two people was diluted a lot.

And Lu Qiaoge really went to the post office and mailed the comic book out.

It definitely wouldn’t have been possible before the New Year.

The postal service is very slow now. Even though it is a registered letter, it still takes half a month to reach Beijing. Then it is the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival holiday, many idle units will not go back to work until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It was Qin Hengzhi who took her to the post office to mail it. Speaking of the painting, Qin Hengzhi volunteered: "Give it to me, I'll frame it."

"Can you still do this?"

There are a lot of good wood in Lu Qiage's space, and she plans to work on it slowly.

"I will!" Qin Hengzhi answered confidently.

It’s not difficult if you can’t learn it on the spot.

Qin Hengzhi put the painting in the back, started the car, and took Lu Qiaoge to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, and then sent her home to rest.

On the way, Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge said, "My grandfather has retired to the second line."

Although they were in the same city, because this grandmother was not his biological grandmother and Mr. Bai was also very busy, Lu Qiage only visited her once before New Year's Day.

I didn't eat at home that time because the atmosphere in the Bai family was not very good. When I went there, Bai Jinxin and Uncle Bai were both there. I don't know what caused the conflict, but everyone had a gloomy face.

So after saying a few words, Qin Hengzhi took Lu Qiaoge away.

Then he never mentioned going to grandpa's house again.

I didn't expect to be relegated to the second line so soon.

But Mr. Bai's health hasn't been great, especially in the past two years. "Don't go to his house for the New Year. My grandfather isn't home. He's at the retirement home recuperating and won't be back for the New Year."

Then there will be only a step-grandmother left at home, which will definitely be awkward.

Lu Qiaoge didn't care. Even if she went, she wouldn't be embarrassed.

It's always others who are embarrassed.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaomin seemed to be in a much better mood, but she was obviously worried.

Lu Qiage felt that she must have discovered the cracks in the family, so let Cheng Wen handle this matter.

But when Lin Xiaomin is working, she is really a pure person.

No wonder Cheng Wen likes her so much.

At this time, Lin Xiaomin was completely immersed in the world she was in. Even when she was just using colored chalk to draw workers, peasants, soldiers and red flags on the blackboard on the wall, she was fully focused, as if she was separated from the real world.

Lu Qiaoge had a better impression of her.

Such a pure person should not be tortured by life.

Wait for Mr. Sun to come back and ask him if he has any solution.

Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about Mr. Sun right now.

Shao Le didn't go home at noon, he went home in the evening.

Chen Zhi knew that Shao Le was going to the countryside to express condolences, so he took the opportunity to go to the Wagouzi Brigade.

I also prepared things in advance and planned to go to Zhao's house to see that old deadbeat Zhao.

Chen Zhi didn't mind taking these things.

Although they are renting a house now, both of them have salaries.

Moreover, after the Spring Festival, the factory will build a family building. It is said that this time the family building will be better than the current tube-shaped buildings, and half of it can belong to you. Even if you don’t work here anymore, you can still live here, instead of having to hand over the house once you are transferred.

But this old man Zhao always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing the look on Shao Le's face, Chen Zhi asked worriedly, "Did he give you a hard time after you went back?"

Shao Le shook his head and closed the door. Then he said to Chen Zhi, "I reported him and personally sent him and his accomplices to the police station."

"Ah." Chen Zhi was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Oh, it's okay, don't be afraid, he's just gathering people to gamble.

I heard from my younger brother and sister that he had never lost in the past half month, which was not normal in itself, so I directly revealed my identity and told the police officers at the police station that although I was now in the street office, I was also responsible for external reception work at Xiangyang Food Factory.

Is there something going on here that we're unaware of? I hope they'll investigate thoroughly. They're playing with a lot of money this time. When I led my men to intercept them, they were indeed inside an abandoned brick kiln outside the village. Because we arrived unexpectedly, we were able to capture them all and catch them red-handed. The commune police station was also very pleased and said they would send a letter of commendation to our unit.

Chen Zhi was stunned and asked, "Why would he send you a letter of praise? Isn't he your father?" Although she didn't want to admit it, this was the fact.

Shao Le sneered: "Who wouldn't know about a guy like him? Besides, my situation is special. Qiao Ge said that considering this situation, if anything really happens, it won't implicate me."

When Chen Zhi heard Lu Qiaoge say this, although she felt a little sour, she immediately became happy: "Ah, it was she who said that, then I feel relieved."

Shao Le glanced at Chen Zhi.

He knew that his wife was a little jealous of Lu Qiaoge.

But there's really nothing to be jealous of.

Shao Le is just an ordinary clerk in the street office. If we really have to characterize it, it is the relationship between them that of comrades-in-arms.

Shao Le also said: "After Zhao Laolaizi was sent there, the police station chief told me that he might not be released for three to five years. In this way, his younger brothers and sisters who stayed in the village could live a stable life.

I met Wu Ming. He is indeed a nice person, honest and kind. He is especially good to my sister Xiaoman. We are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship. I left 100 yuan and some other things for them.

But Xiaoman only left ten yuan, saying that was enough. I gave the money to Wu Ming and told him to take care of the two little ones as well.

Chen Zhi didn't say anything. It would be a good thing if they could take care of themselves.

Shao Le said gently: "I would like to thank you for your understanding and support for being able to resolve this issue."

Chen Zhi smiled shyly and said softly, "We are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together."

Yes, we understand each other. Even though each other has various little flaws, we are all growing.

Chen Zhi took the initiative and said, "If they agree, I will go to Xiaoman's wedding with you."

Shao Le looked at Chen Zhi with moist eyes. Although he didn't want to care about those people, Xiaoman was really nice. Not only did she not bother him, she also never bothered Shao Yonggang.

If Xiaoman had not been born in the countryside and burdened by his family, he might have become a worker.
