Chapter 257: Is It Time To Teach Huahua To Read?
Lu Qiaoge looked toward Aunt Bai’s house.
She didn’t feel strange at all.
A house for 3,800, still private property, with old residents as left and right neighbors, who had always coveted this house and reported it many times for this reason.
Now that she had bought it, it was normal to have guesses and discussions behind the scenes.
Lu Qiaoge walked around and learned that Xiao Cangcang wasn’t going home either, so she exhorted a few words before riding her bicycle away.
Rat Big and Rat Two didn’t move, staying on the bricks where they had just been squatting, especially Rat Big, who felt like it was enveloped by a warm, glowing ball.
Xiao Cangcang also noticed that it had landed on some leaves, as if carrying a light ball with it.
That feeling was too wonderful.
It thought, either the little master had obtained a treasure, or the little master had upgraded.
Xiao Cangcang went to look at Tao Tao on the eaves, where they had all landed on the master’s shoulders earlier.
So, Xiao Cangcang mustered its courage and asked: 【Tao Tao, do you have any special feeling?】
Tao Tao flew up and said: 【Yes, the little master’s energy has become even better.】
Big Sparrow flew up, chattering: 【We must make this place impregnable, come on, let’s start shift rotations, except for us few, not even a mosquito should be let in, Hua Hua don’t run, you have to be on duty too.】
Hua Hua was already squatting on top of the wall at this moment, turned its head, and said boldly: 【No problem, schedule it as usual, I need to go see what Qin Hengzhi is doing, best if he goes to the Lu Family tonight, that way the little master’s parents won’t scold her.】
These ones were really worrying too.
When Lu Qiaoge rode her bicycle away from the North City Residential Area, she still saw someone standing in the doorway looking at her.
They weren’t saying anything now, but probably would once she was far away.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t mind, she first went to the Food Factory, where operations were normal, and the flaky pastries and corn cakes were still in short supply.
She then went to the Handicraft Factory, where Chang An saw Lu Qiaoge, smiled honestly, and said to her: “Director Hu came earlier, praised us, and I guaranteed that we will definitely complete the task on schedule, Director Hu said that Director Zhou from the Foreign Trade Section wants me to go over, tomorrow morning to pick me up.”
He spoke word by word, plus gestures, so of course Lu Qiaoge understood.
But she said seriously: “Older Brother Chang, when you go to that factory, remember not to give anyone face, inspect strictly, this is our first large-scale export of grass weaving handicrafts, although there are only two products, but I’ve already planned, in the future we need to develop more products, like storage boxes, baskets, candy boxes and fruit trays in various shapes, even mat cushions, handbags, ornaments, decorations, and many many more products, all waiting for us to develop.
This is our first battle, it must be a resounding success, Older Brother Chang you must remember, absolutely no leaving a way out for yourself, quality is the best, no defects, no ‘we’ll pay attention next time and not let it happen again,’ if it’s good it’s good, if not it’s scrap, I’ve emphasized this to them too…”
Lu Qiaoge said a lot, Chang An listened with a serious expression, he actually had many ideas in his mind too, and with Lu Qiaoge saying this, each idea fell into place.
He really admired Lu Qiaoge.
So young, yet with the demeanor of a great general.
Chang An agreed one by one, now he wasn’t afraid of heavy work tasks, nor of offending people, what he feared was the authorities having three minutes of enthusiasm, thinking one order meant they could coast for life, now seeing Lu Qiaoge, Chang An’s heart settled, and he secretly swore to sell the grass weaving handicrafts all over the world.
After chatting for a bit, Lu Qiaoge asked Chang An: “Have you changed your name?”
Chang An said: “I’ve changed my name, to Lin Jun’an, done this morning.”
Lu Qiaoge laughed: “Then I’ll call you Older Brother Lin from now on, um, you’re also Deputy Director Lin, hahaha…”
Lin Jun’an was amused and helpless at Lu Qiaoge’s teasing.
“My older brother’s rank is so high, I’m not even a cadre.”
Lu Qiaoge didn’t think much of it: “No problem, maybe in a few years our Handicraft Factory will be the largest grass weaving export base in the country, no, in the whole world.”
Lin Jun’an perked up at that, feeling particularly yearning.
But he said: “That still needs Qiao Ge you as the commander, if someone else, not going bankrupt would be lucky.”
Then he deliberately explained: “You know my personality, I don’t flatter or say nice words, this is my sincere thought, this vision can only be realized by you, Qiao Ge.”
Lu Qiaoge didn’t be modest, accepted the deputy director’s praise frankly, and asked again: “Are your parents still at the Swan Hotel?”
Should she buy something to visit the old folks?
A couple days ago Old Lin had sent quite a few good eats to her home.
Pastries, canned food, sausages, milk powder, candy, etc., all brought from Beidu.
Said to visit Grandmother, but really it was to thank her.
Then she should give a return gift, no need to buy things, just bring some mountain products then.
That was practical and had a human touch.
At this moment Lin Jun’an frowned slightly, sighed, and said: “I’m not too clear on what’s going on with my parents and Second Brother, they didn’t tell me details, but yesterday Second Sister-in-law brought the little nephew to the hotel, and had the child shout Grandpa Grandma downstairs… no choice, my parents had to go with them to his home.”
Oh, so that’s how it was.
But this was the Lin Family’s family matter, even if she knew something she couldn’t say to Lin Jun’an, let alone she didn’t know what that Deputy Director Wei was like.
Lu Qiaoge told Lin Jun’an to bring Fan Xiaoyu tomorrow, that young woman was exercising quite well now.
Also take her to see the world.
Lu Qiaoge got off work, and on the way met Qin Hengzhi.
He was standing roadside, holding a net bag of canned food in hand, his eyes smiling as he watched Lu Qiaoge approach from afar.
Lu Qiaoge got off her bicycle.
Seeing Hua Hua at his feet, before she could ask, Hua Hua blurted out: 【Little master, I went to find Qin Hengzhi, had him help speak for you, otherwise your parents would definitely scold you, if you obediently listen I’m unhappy, but if you’re impatient your parents will be sad too, so I got Qin Hengzhi to come help you.】
This little thing had such deep intentions.
She asked Hua Hua in her mind: “Does Qin Hengzhi understand what you meant?”
Hua Hua said: 【Qin Hengzhi drew lots of pictures, specially for me, I pointed at them one by one, and he knew I wanted him to go to your home tonight.】
Lu Qiaoge: ……
She looked at Qin Hengzhi in disbelief, really wanting to ask if next he was going to teach Hua Hua to recognize words?
At this moment, Qin Hengzhi had already bent down to pick up Hua Hua and put it in the front bicycle basket, the canned food bag wouldn’t fit in the house, so Qin Hengzhi casually hung it on the handlebars.
Then he naturally took over the bicycle, and Qin Hengzhi asked softly: “Hua Hua told me to go to your home, there must be something, but you didn’t call me, so what should I say or do?”
