Chapter 426: The food that is eaten secretly is the most delicious?
Liu Yu angrily retorted, "Don't think I don't know. I've secretly asked. That Li Zhuzi you're talking about is only a few years younger than my dad! How old is my sister? She's still in night school and might even go to college in the future. She wouldn't get married so early!"
"Oh my, what do you know, little kid? Men should get married when they're old enough, and women should get married when they're old enough! Once you're over 16, you should be anxious!"
A middle-aged woman's voice sounded again.
Lu Qiaoge pushed open the half-open courtyard door and stood quietly at the door, his eyes cast indifferently at the middle-aged woman standing in the yard who was stopped outside the house by Liu Yu.
Sister Qiao frowned. "Old Peng, what are you doing? Who are you introducing to?"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman was fine when she saw Sister Qiao, but when she saw Lu Qiaoge, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she immediately changed her tone.
"Oh, isn't it that so-and-so asked me to introduce Liu Xia to a guy? I don't know what Liu Xia thinks, but since this guy doesn't agree, forget it. Although Liu Yu is young, he's a capable person who can support the family, and his sister will definitely listen to him. If he doesn't agree, forget it. It's okay, it's okay. Just pretend I didn't say anything and I've never been here. Let's go!"
As she walked out, she didn't forget to flatter him: "Oh, you street office cadres are really hard-working. You have to visit every household in the middle of winter. You've worked so hard!"
Sister Peng turned to Lu Qiaoge again, her face full of smiles. "Hey, Qiaoge, I saw you last month. How come you're even prettier now? You're really beautiful! You're the prettiest girl in our military factory."
Lu Qiaoge smiled slightly: "Aunt Peng, won't you stay a while?"
"No, no, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, it's okay, it's okay." After saying that, she quickly left the Liu family yard, and her back could be said to be fleeing in panic.
Sister Qiao said to Lu Qiaoge helplessly, "Just standing there, without saying a word, it's a kind of intimidation."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Qiaoge. He pointed at Old Peng's receding figure with a bit of grievance and said, "She's been here several times. At first I thought it was a good thing, so I secretly asked my classmates to help me find out. It turns out that she's almost forty years old and doesn't work at our military factory, but in the town below..."
Lu Qiaoge followed Liu Yu into the house, saying to him as they walked, "This kind of thing will happen again in the future. You need to keep your eyes open. If you don't know what kind of person he is, you can investigate. He doesn't live alone in this world, there will always be people around him who know him. And you should not only investigate him personally, but also understand his family situation."
"Sister Qiao Ge, I remember this."
"This is a small benefit given by the subdistrict office to a few special families. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation."
When leaving the Liu family, Sister Qiao sighed, "What if both children have no opinions of their own and agree?"
"That's okay. Life is a constant process of choosing between right and wrong. No one is 100% right."
Sister Qiao said, "Then why do I feel that Qiao Ge, you are always 100% right?"
Lu Qiage really wanted to tell her that what he was doing now was the result of countless people's trial and error, and that he was standing on the shoulders of giants.
But if I put it this way, Sister Qiao might not understand.
So Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "How come you don't have any regrets? I have some too."
"What is that?"
Without waiting for Lu Qiaoge to answer, Sister Qiao suddenly realized, "I see. You definitely shouldn't have gotten engaged to Liang Aishu in the first place. Luckily, you pulled back before it was too late."
Then he lowered his voice and gossiped, "I heard that they are not as close as they were when they were secretly together. When they walk together, there is no smile on their faces. Chen Yun is also very delicate. She is always feeling uncomfortable..."
Lu Qiaoge was also wondering: Is this what they mean by "the food you eat secretly tastes the best"?
——
Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng came back by train. Qin Hengzhi went to the station to pick them up and then sent them to the Lu family.
Lu Yun has been gone for several months. Even though the old lady doesn't say she misses her, how can she not be worried about her in her heart?
In particular, she was worried about what the two of them would be like after not seeing each other for so many years.
When she saw these two people sitting in front of her, the old lady suddenly remembered how her daughter brought Chen Liangsheng to her.
It was as if time had not moved forward, or had gone back, replaying the original scene.
The Qin family's living room was very small, and Qin Hengzhi was tall. He stood at the door and seemed to block most of the light.
Lu Qiaoge quietly pulled the person aside.
Meng Xia said, "They are all our own children, there is no need to be so particular. You two go to the room and talk for a while, I will go to cook."
Qin Hengzhi knew that Lu Qiaoge's room was very small. Although he wanted to go, he still said, "Auntie, let me help you."
"No, no, most of them are ready. Especially the small iron stove that our factory just gave us. It's very convenient for cooking rice and it's ready in no time. We're all family, no outsiders."
Lu Yun stood up and said in a skilled tone: "Sister-in-law, I am a good cook now. I will cook today."
Meng Xia's eyes turned red, and she said, "Okay, come on, cook with sister-in-law."
Qin Hengzhi sat down and chatted with Chen Liangsheng. They were both talking about heavy industry, and at first they seemed a little reserved. As the conversation progressed, it became too much for anyone else to get a word in.
Chen Liangsheng looked into Qin Hengzhi's eyes with relief.
He knew that Qin Hengzhi was not only the military representative stationed at the factory, he was also the deputy director of the military research institute and concurrently the deputy commander-in-chief of the heavy industry base.
It can really be said that he has several roles at such a young age, and they are all very important.
Some might say this is due to his grandfather's ability, but that's not the case. This guy is absolutely a genius in heavy industry, especially in the research and development of certain mechanical equipment at the oil base.
Lu Qiaoge poured tea for the two of them and set the table.
After a while, Lu Da and Lu Zhiguo came back, followed by Su Hui and Lu Qiaoling.
Lu Qiaoling handed something to Lu Qiaoge and whispered, "This is the scarf Zhang Huixin knitted for you."
Now Zhang Huixin has officially joined the food factory.
But because she was pregnant, the factory took care of her as an educated youth and arranged for her to do a relatively leisurely job.
There are rumors behind the scenes, but for Zhang Huixin, she feels like she has lived a new life. These so-called rumors can't affect her at all, and she really doesn't take them to heart.
Lu Qiaoge took the scarf.
Nowadays people like red scarves very much. This one is also made of wool and knitted with a Yuanbao needle. It is very warm to wear.
She hung her scarf on the coat rack and remembered something, so she asked Lu Qiaoling, "I heard Zhao Jinbao got married and asked you to attend his wedding?"
Lu Qiaoling said indifferently, "I'm not going. I can't go empty-handed. I don't have the money to give him a gift."
