Chapter 9: The Golden Ring in the Swallow's Nest
Meng Xia wanted to cry but had no tears.
Could she say that she originally wanted Qiao Ge to have a job and then marry him decently?
No matter what, Lao Liang is the vice chairman of the trade union. If we talk to him, he should be able to arrange an apprenticeship for Qiao Ling.
But now that the engagement has been called off, none of my plans can be fulfilled.
Lu Qiaoge looked at the crying Lu Qiaoling and couldn't help but clarify in a soft tone: "The job of the Street Office is uncertain. Thirty people took the exam, and only two were left in the end. Twenty-eight people have to be eliminated."
Lu Qiaoling was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Meng Xia stood up and said to Lu Qiaoge, "I'll explain to them. You go to the factory to find your father and ask him to go home at noon."
He then stuffed the lunch box into Lu Qiaoge's hand and said, "By the way, ask your dad to bring back some meat dishes."
These people all talk without any back pain.
Isn't she anxious?
Her third daughter is living in the countryside, and she feels more distressed than anyone else.
The family compound is half an hour's walk from the military factory.
Lu Qiage stood in front of the gate of the 516 Military Factory with a lunch box. People were not allowed to enter or leave here at will, and a pass was required.
After she signed in at the sentry box, she put down her lunch box and thanked the young guard. Just as Lu Qiaoge was about to turn around and go home, she suddenly heard the roar of a car engine in the distance.
The deep and rich humming sound came from far away and seemed to stir up a faint ripple in the air.
Lu Qiaoge was slightly startled and subconsciously looked back, only to see a military green jeep speeding along the main road of the factory.
She took two swift steps back, her heels resting on the concrete steps of the sentry box. In her peripheral vision, the guards also straightened their backs.
The jeep stopped steadily in front of the gate. After a brief brake sound, the driver's window slowly lowered, revealing an angular profile.
The man was wearing a neat military uniform, his epaulettes gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the sun. His deep brows slightly tilted aside from behind the car window, his gaze vaguely passing through the sentry box and lingering on Lu Qiage for a moment.
Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself, what a coincidence, it’s Qin Hengzhi.
She looked at Qin Hengzhi calmly with a hidden gaze.
There was a flash of surprise in his sparkling peach blossom eyes. Oh, he is indeed the most handsome man in the military factory.
She is so beautiful!
"Representative Qin!" The guard immediately stood at attention and saluted.
The guard next to him also quickly stepped forward and skillfully opened the big iron gate.
Qin Hengzhi nodded slightly, then his gaze fell back on Lu Qiaoge, his eyes calm and deep.
The guard hurriedly said, "Reporting to Representative Qin, this is the daughter of Master Lu Da from Workshop 1. She is here to inform Master Lu that something has happened at home and asked him to go home at noon."
Lu Qiaoge didn't expect to meet him, and it didn't seem a good idea to pretend not to know him.
She smiled and thanked him, "Deputy Qin, thank you for saving me."
The two guards were stunned.
Could this beautiful female comrade be the person the leader rescued yesterday?
Qin Hengzhi's expression slightly changed, and his low voice was like snow falling on pine needles, polite yet distant: "You're welcome."
He saw everything the little girl was looking at him from behind.
But her eyes were so clear and bright that he couldn't feel any disgust.
Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiaoge and nodded to her imperceptibly.
Then he raised his hand to change gears, the jeep's engine roared low, the wheels rolled over the ground, and slowly drove into the factory.
Lu Qiaoge withdrew his gaze, his smile gradually disappeared, and he smacked his lips. Representative Qin seemed to be a cold beauty?
Lu Qiaoge also turned and left.
It’s hard to find a job nowadays, and I have to work hard for the street office.
Having a stable job is very important in this era.
Lu Qiaoge estimated the distance and decided to go to Qi Shuang's house first.
At the same time, in the lounge of a workshop.
Master Lu, his colleagues and several apprentices had just come off the production line.
After wiping the sweat off his face, he sat down with a large teacup and drank some water. Old Dong's eyes flickered and he sat down beside him with a smile.
Thinking of his nephew's request, he asked, "Old Lu, did your Qiao Ge really break off the engagement with Liang Aishu?"
Old Lu said firmly: "I've retired. We have no relationship anymore. Don't mention him to me in the future. It's bad luck."
The boss nodded immediately: "Okay, let's not talk about him, then what do you think of my nephew?"
Old Lu frowned: "Which nephew are you?"
Old Dong: "My eldest nephew, Dong Jianguo, has taken a liking to your second daughter. Let's become relatives..."
Old Lu suddenly got angry.
Dong Jianguo works in workshop five. He is divorced, thin and small, has a bad temper, and has two children.
He gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Old Dong, you are such a piece of shit. Even if my daughter breaks off the engagement, she will never be someone else's stepmother!"
The old boss was suddenly scolded and was unhappy. He said without thinking: "Your daughter's engagement has been broken off, and you still want to find a good guy? You are dreaming. It's good enough that someone wants her. Even so, my sister-in-law may not agree."
After all, Lao Lu was an experienced worker, so he was very restrained. Even if he wanted to hit someone, he couldn't do it in the workshop. He suppressed his anger and stared at Lao Dong sinisterly: "Just wait for me."
The boss also regretted what he had just said. He said unhappily, "If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why are you trying to show off to me?"
Old Lu felt frustrated and anxious, and walked out angrily.
So what if the engagement is broken off? Even if the engagement is broken off, she is still his second daughter, and he will never settle for anything better if he can’t find one.
What if I don’t get married?
Then Old Lu raised his eyes and saw the handsome Representative Qin holding a document in his hand and reading it while walking not far away.
He was accompanied by several leaders from the factory.
Old Lu thought of an idiom: a crane standing out among chickens.
He thought with some regret in his heart that it would be better if his family background was more ordinary. He would introduce his second daughter to him no matter what.
Both of them are good-looking, and the children they will have in the future will also be beautiful.
What a pity, this young man has such a good family background.
I don’t know which girl can be worthy of such an outstanding young man.
At this time, Qin Hengzhi also came over. He was always kind to the old workers in the factory.
When he saw it was Master Lu Da, he stopped.
He put away his cold aura and said in a gentle voice, "Master Lu, I just ran into your second daughter at the gate. She told you to go home at noon. Oh, and there's a lunch box at the guard post."
Old Lu looked at Qin Hengzhi, who had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was a little slow to react, but he still responded with a smile on his face.
After all the factory leaders had left, Old Lu finally came to his senses and began to feel nervous.
They all eat in the factory cafeteria at noon during work, and he asked for leave to go back home yesterday when his daughter fell into the water.
It's only been one day, and something happened at home again?
Qi Shuang didn't go to work today. She was beaten by her mother-in-law yesterday. Although she fought back, the old woman was too old to dare to fight back.
She waited until the swelling on her face went down before pushing the door open and leaving.
She was not in a good mood. She was allocated a house when she and Yao Kai got married, but Yao Kai gave it to his eldest brother.
This house is rented from the housing management office and is not very big.
But when she opened the door, she saw a little girl standing at her door, staring at the swallow's nest on the eaves.
She was wearing a blue and white checkered short-sleeved top, overalls with suspenders, two black braids hanging in front of her chest, with picturesque features and a graceful figure.
She frowned. It seemed like this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl.
It was almost noon and the noise of neighbors clamoring and cooking pots and pans gradually increased.
But among these sounds, there is also the sound of swallows.
[Mr. Li’s family is still looking for the gold ring. That human brought several people and even searched the rat nest but still couldn’t find it. But they don’t know that Mrs. Li’s gold ring is in our nest.]
[That human even told her mother that she could buy one for Mrs. Li, and that would complete the mission. I will wait for her to buy it, and then I will bring the gold ring back.]
Lu Qiaoge glanced next door, which was Old Li's house.
