Luo Qiao was thinking about this all the way home and was absent-minded while cooking. When Lu Yichen came back and saw her like this, he thought something had happened.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What happened?"

Luo Qiao put the cooked dishes on the plate and said, "I have a quota for regular employment at the pharmaceutical factory. Do you think it should be given to Gao Baozhu, the eldest son of the captain's family, or to Yao Pengfei of the Yao family?"

Lu Yichen put down what he was holding and asked, "Who is Yao Pengfei?"

Luo Qiao then remembered that Lu Yichen didn't know anyone from the Yao family: "I forgot that you didn't know Yao Pengfei. Her family helped me a lot on the farm before."

Lu Yichen washed his hands in the basin, picked up a towel and wiped his hands while saying, "Is it the relative that the villagers said you have in Ji City?"

Luo Qiao thought of what happened with the Yao family before, put away the smile on her face, and said lightly: "I guess so."

Lu Yichen saw that Luo Qiao, who was in a good mood just now, seemed unhappy all of a sudden. He thought to himself that he didn't say anything, so why was she unhappy?

Try asking: "Why are you unhappy?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not unhappy at all. I just remembered some things."

Luo Qiao made up her mind at that moment. Gao Baozhu, the captain's family member, had not been working for long. If she gave him the quota, it might cause trouble for Jiang Dongli. It would be better to wait and see if there was a chance later.

Firstly, Yao Pengfei started working earlier than Gao Baozhu, and secondly, he has a city hukou. Giving this regular employment quota to the Yao family can be regarded as repaying their kindness.

After figuring it out, Luo Qiao said to Lu Yichen, "Go call Shitou back for dinner. He's playing with the Song family's kids at the street corner."

Not long after, Shitou rushed back, and Luo Qiao said, "Get some water to wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

At noon, they had noodles with gravy. Shitou swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "Sister, Aunt Song is so funny. She always tries to trick me into talking and asks about our family situation. I'm not a child, so I won't fall for her tricks."

Luo Qiao looked at Shitou's smug expression and asked, "What did she ask you?"

Lu Yichen looked up at Luo Qiao, then turned to ask Shi Tou: "What did you say?"

Shitou stopped what he was doing and said, "Of course I said I was still young, how could I know these things? If she wants to know, come and ask her brother and sister."

He laughed to himself and then continued, "Aunt Song is so funny. She knows she can't get anything out of me, but she still asks me every time she sees me. I really admire her."

Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao and was about to speak when he heard Luo Qiao say, "Shi Tou, if someone asks you what the relationship between my brother and I is, just tell them that our two families are old friends."

Shitou said "Oh" and asked, "What does worldly friend mean?"

Luo Qiao said: "My elders and his elders are friends."

Lu Yichen was thinking, when did our two families become old friends? Okay, whatever you say goes.

Shitou nodded: "I see, Aunt Song is too annoying."

Aunt Song who lives at the end of the alley has a niece who had a crush on a teacher. But after dating for a while, the guy broke up with her and she was looking for death at home. So she had to ask relatives and friends to see if there was any suitable guy to introduce to her.

Aunt Song met Lu Yichen several times and thought that this young man was a good person. You couldn’t tell the problem with his legs when he wasn’t walking. You could only see the abnormality when he was walking, and it didn’t affect his normal life.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lu Yichen works in a police station and has a respectable job. Shi Tou wanted to introduce Lu Yichen to his niece, so he tried to ask Shi Tou some questions when he met him. But Shi Tou was a little wily and didn't get any useful information out of him.

Of course, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen didn’t know this.

After dinner, while Lu Yichen was clearing the dishes, he said, "By the way, I met an acquaintance today. He said that Zhao Jianing somehow found her way to the army, and also said that she had an arranged marriage with that family."
