Chapter 119 The more I look at it, the more it looks like
Chang An has dark skin and looks five or six years older than his peers because he works in the fields all year round.
But even so, when Chang An was with these people, you couldn't tell that he had just moved to the city from the countryside.
Looking at his facial features more closely, Lu Qiaoge suddenly remembered the father of Deputy Director Lin who was in the inspection team last night, Mr. Lin who was in charge of aviation.
The mute and Mr. Lin look alike.
No wonder she thought Mr. Lin looked so familiar last night.
Unable to restrain himself, Lu Qiage's thoughts began to wander.
Deputy Director Lin is less than 30 years old and can be considered a young member of the leadership.
Mr. Lin seems to be in his early fifties, and Chang An is a few years younger than Deputy Director Lin. He is twenty-six years old this year. He is also the adopted son of the Chang family. No one knows where he was adopted from.
After his mind was opened, Lu Qiaoge felt that Chang An looked more and more like Old Lin.
But he doesn’t look like Deputy Director Lin, but then again, Deputy Director Lin doesn’t look like Mr. Lin either.
Chang An was sensitive. When he noticed Lu Qiaoge's gaze, he quickly handed the license in his hand to Zhou Li. He rubbed his hands on his clothes nervously. His palms were full of sweat.
He grew up in hunger and abuse. At the age of eight, he was already serving as half a labor force, and at the age of twelve, he was getting full work points like an adult.
But he still didn't have enough to eat at the Chang family.
Often he would be given a steamed bun and told to go to the woodshed and not to bother the family.
His days were filled with beatings and hunger, and as for the abuse, he didn't take it to heart at all.
He was able to grow up because he could feed himself from the age of twelve.
When he grew up, he was still very tall and strong. My mother told everyone that it was the Chang family who raised him so well. Without the Chang family, he would have died long ago.
He was an unwanted bastard who owed the Chang family too much favor.
He worked hard to repay them.
But I often wondered in my dreams at midnight why his biological parents didn't want him anymore. Was it really like what my mother said, that the family couldn't afford to raise him and abandoned him?
But now he has a family, a wife who doesn't mind him being mute, and a son who calls him dad.
He also left that home and followed his wife into a military factory.
The life he has now is what he paid for with his life.
He couldn't lose, let alone affect Lily.
Chang An became even more nervous when he thought of this, and went to look at the license again. He just took it gently, and he didn't get it dirty or damaged.
But why does Comrade Lu look at him like this?
Is it because he is mute that the food factory doesn't want him anymore?
Comrade Lu is kind-hearted, so he is too embarrassed to ask people to leave?
If he is not wanted here, will he have nowhere else to go?
While Chang An was extremely nervous, Lu Qiage spoke in a very gentle voice.
"Brother Chang, the neighborhood office is going to open a night school in a while. You can sign up to study there. From elementary school to junior high school, we will try to give you tutoring for high school courses, and we will also try to issue diplomas to graduates. Brother Chang, you are just being held back. You are really smart."
Chang An was stunned.
My eyes were hot. It turned out that she was not going to chase him away.
He then breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Qiaoge a childish smile. When fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes, his face strangely overlapped with the face of Deputy Director Lin's father who appeared in the inspection team yesterday.
Lu Qiaoge felt that all the surprises that life gave her were not without reason.
Maybe there is really a connection.
Zhou Li had no idea what Lu Qiaoge was thinking just now. She said happily: "Qiaoge, can I go too?"
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Of course, I'll go too. My junior high school education is incomplete, so I have to finish it."
Meng Qingshan carefully placed the license in the tidied office of the food factory.
Lu Qiage asked them to follow him to the factory's infrastructure department to get cement and lime.
He took out another note and asked Lu Qiaoling and Du Shuang to go to the department store to find Mu Dan and ask her to help get the white cotton cloth.
Weidong, Tiezhu and Xiuyan went to clean the area they were responsible for at the service station.
Everything was arranged in perfect order.
Because the inspection team would also come to visit on Saturday morning, the health inspection was scheduled for the afternoon.
Lu Qiaoge asked Taotao to go to the Swan Hotel in the provincial capital where the inspection team was staying, which was also the best hotel in the provincial capital, to find an old man named Lin there to see if there was any useful information.
She went to find Qin Hengzhi.
Apart from the time when he asked Qin Hengzhi whether he wanted to watch the performance or attend the dance, this was Lu Qiage's second time going to the military representative's office.
This time I felt a little different from the last time.
How to describe it? It seems more solemn.
The sentries standing at the door were as tall and straight as poplar trees.
I think it must have been due to the strict training given by Qin Hengzhi.
Because they had contacted each other in advance, Qin Hengzhi waited for Lu Qiage in the office after returning from the factory.
Lu Qiaoge originally wanted to wait until the date to tell Qin Hengzhi about it.
But Qin Hengzhi has been very busy these days and has no time to date her in the evening.
The messages were always delivered by the tabby cat.
He made a small cloth bag for the tabby cat. This was how the tabby cat got the gold bracelet back last time.
Qin Hengzhi said that the tabby cat is terrifyingly fast.
The naughty boy wanted to catch it, but it was impossible.
Lu Qiaoge firmly believed this.
So it is very convenient to use it to send messages.
But this time Lu Qiaoge didn't use the tabby cat to deliver the message, she made a phone call.
This is the safest place to talk.
Qin Hengzhi was wearing a crisp white shirt today, but with green military pants underneath, a black belt around his waist, and his cuffs rolled up to his elbows, revealing his wheat-colored forearms.
The sunlight shining through the glass window made the handsome face look a little gentle.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at his waist meaningfully. Apart from his face, his figure was really amazing.
Qin Hengzhi had no idea what his little girlfriend was thinking.
With a smile on his face, he poured Lu Qiaoge a cup of herbal tea, then hurried over to wash a basin of cherries and said to Lu Qiaoge, "I picked these cherries from the mountain this morning. I wanted to send them to you in the evening, but now is the perfect time to eat them."
Qin Hengzhi placed the white porcelain plate with cherries on the coffee table, and then he sat down.
Lu Qiaoge picked up a scarlet fruit and took a bite, the juice staining her lips.
Qin Hengzhi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he felt that Qiao Ge's lips were three times brighter than the cherries on the plate.
While eating, Lu Qiaoge asked curiously: "Where did you pick it? It's so small. But it's so sweet."
Qin Hengzhi's voice was gentle: "In the deep mountains, there are wild cherries. They mature late, but the sunshine there is good, so they are very sweet."
He paused and said, "There is a birch forest over there. In autumn, the leaves are all golden."
Seeing Lu Qiaoge smiling, he continued, "We can choose a good time to go to Wuhua Mountain in the north. There is a winding river at the foot of the mountain. It is so clear that you can see the bottom. There are many beautiful stones and beaches on the shore. There are many birch trees on the shore. There are also many wild fruit trees on the other side of the river. This cherry can be picked there."
Lu Qiaoge's eyes sparkled: "Just the two of us?"
