Chapter 250: Grandma’s Gold Bracelet?
Lu Qiaoge smiled and looked back.
On this road, the fastest means of transportation was the bicycle.
She somewhat liked the slow-paced 1970s without electronic products.
How to put it, it felt like time was infinitely stretched.
Just like emotions were similarly prolonged!—
Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge before it got dark that it and Rat Big and Rat Two were all in that empty house.
As soon as there was any movement, it would come to report.
Xiao Cangcang landed in Lu Qiaoge’s palm, rubbed against it for a while, then neatly flew away.
It had to be said that Xiao Cangcang’s speed was really fast.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The Lu Family members had basically all rested, and Nini flew over to whisper with Lu Qiaoge.
【Little Master, if you buy a new house, do we have to move with you?】
Lu Qiaoge: “Of course, it’s mainly that the money for buying the house hasn’t been gathered yet.”
Qin Hengzhi didn’t know she wanted to buy a house; otherwise, the money would definitely be gathered.
This matter wasn’t easy to discuss with others, especially with parents; they definitely wouldn’t agree.
Because Qin Hengzhi had a house.
Also because Qin Hengzhi would definitely transfer away later.
So Lu Qiaoge buying a house would just be fooling around.
But it was fine to casually talk about it with the little animals.
Nini was also understanding: 【So all those sparkling things can’t exchange for a house?】
Lu Qiaoge shook her head: “Not now, but it will be possible later.”
【How much later?】
“About three to five years.”
【Ah, we can’t wait that long; the house might have been sold long ago.】
That was exactly the reason.
The family that moved away still hadn’t discovered it, so it should have nothing to do with the secret.
Although Jiangcheng didn’t have a long history, it had existed for a few hundred years.
The family selling the house had bought it after transferring to Jiangcheng.
Elder Sister Su said this family was in Haicheng; his father was now the head of some big factory, and then he had the ability to transfer his son back.
These few days, have Xiao Cangcang and the others monitor it well.
If someone knew the secret here, they would definitely buy the house right away.
But still need to see who it is; if it was really a treasure passed down from their ancestors, she wouldn’t be good to snatch it.
A gentleman loves wealth and takes it in a proper way.
If not, then let that person get lost.
Lu Qiaoge sighed and said: “So we can’t wait a few years to buy it later.”
【What if we take the sparkling things to the bank to exchange for money?】
Nini was also a well-informed swallow.
Lu Qiaoge shook her head: “Unclear origin, easy to be suspected.”
Nini suddenly came close to Lu Qiaoge.
Now when Lu Qiaoge talked with the little animals, these little animals didn’t need to make sounds; whatever they wanted to express, Lu Qiaoge could naturally hear it.
Lu Qiaoge could also communicate with them using inner voice, or speak slowly like now; anyway, no one else could hear.
Lu Qiaoge preferred this method.
Nini’s voice was very soft: 【I know your grandmother has two gold bracelets in her hand. She often secretly takes them out to wipe them; I’ve seen it, but even your parents don’t know, your younger sister even less so, but I heard your grandmother say the two gold bracelets are dowry for you and Qiao Ling.】
Lu Qiaoge’s eyes lit up.
The old lady hid them quite securely.
It seemed no one in the family really knew.
Of course she didn’t know either.
Lu Qiaoge never let these little animals tell her about family members’ words and actions involving their privacy.
She had this ability but must have a bottom line; keeping the bottom line was actually good for her.
It wasn’t that human hearts couldn’t withstand tests; there was no need to know everything.
On this topic, Nini had accidentally let it slip.
After saying it, she regretted it, covered her mouth with two wings, and tensely looked at Lu Qiaoge.
Woo woo woo, she was too excited and forgot that the little master didn’t like them paying attention to the Lu Family members’ behavior and conversations.
【Li… Little Fairy, li… little master, I I I didn’t mean to, don’t be angry…】
Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment, reached out gently to stroke Nini’s head, and softly said: “It’s fine, just this once, I can use it just right, but in the future, except for things like danger that you must tell me, don’t pay attention to other things; forget what you see and hear.”
For example, Older Brother bringing home a piece of White Rabbit Milk Candy would definitely be for his wife to eat.
For example, parents discussing Qin Hengzhi would definitely say everything.
And Qiao Ling and Xiao Si, everyone had their own little secrets; others had no right to covet them.
Nini hurriedly nodded vigorously; she understood the little master’s idea and didn’t need to understand it, just do it.
Nini affectionately rubbed against Lu Qiaoge’s palm, feeling waves of warmth, as if the whole bird could fly without wings.
Following the little master was really great.
Otherwise, she and Tao Tao would be so lonely.
—
The next day, Qin Hengzhi drove to pick up Lu Qiaoge to the food factory.
Today was to try running the machine.
When the power switch was turned on, the machine really started operating.
Qin Hengzhi and Engineer Sun were both there.
Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze were also tensely watching from the side.
The moment the machine started turning, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qiaoge went home at noon, ate lunch, and still went to find Old Mrs. Lu.
The old lady was fiddling with the radio.
This was given to her by Qin Hengzhi.
Not new; it was one Qin Hengzhi had put together, even better than new.
Clear reception, no static.
It was now Old Mrs. Lu’s favorite treasure.
Old Mrs. Lu found the opera she liked to listen to and listened contentedly.
Although the living conditions at home now weren’t great, the food and use were much better than before.
She no longer had to worry along with them.
And she felt her body was getting better and better.
Backaches were much less.
Old Mrs. Lin even said her back was straighter.
This should be what they call high spirits from happy events; good days make good mental states.
Old Mrs. Lu smiled at Lu Qiaoge, turned down the radio volume, and asked her: “Looking for Grandmother for something?”
At this time, not napping or working overtime, definitely something.
Lu Qiaoge looked around, lowered her voice, and said: “Grandmother, there’s a private house, not far from our family courtyard, in the bungalow area north of the city, with front yard and backyard, the main house over a hundred square meters, and a gatehouse in front the same size as the main house.”
Old Mrs. Lu’s eyes lit up.
Now all were public houses.
People preferred public housing; not only free, but also a glory.
But she came from the old society and always felt that only what was bought with a deed was truly one’s own.
The old lady was a shrewd person; looking at Lu Qiaoge whose eyes were blinking, she softly asked: “How much… is that house selling for?”
Lu Qiaoge said: “Asking three thousand eight hundred; I’m still short two thousand two hundred.”
Old Mrs. Lu looked at her second granddaughter: “This opportunity is too rare; now there are no private houses for sale, but actually as long as there’s one for sale, someone can afford to buy it.
The house is so big, it can completely be bought by a family with many members, then partitioned into small houses, and if the housing management office issues a few more house certificates, that would be a big bargain.”
That was indeed the reason.
Lu Qiaoge felt Old Mrs. Lu’s life wisdom was unmatched.
At least no Lu Family members had this idea.
Lu Da was thinking that after becoming an eighth-grade worker, getting a house allocation would also get extra points.
Meng Xia was even more so.
It seemed she really had to ask Grandmother for help.
