Chapter 235: Taking Qin Hengzhi To Yuanbao Mountain
Lu Qiaoge said: “According to internal news, our military factory not only has the usual commute cars, but will also open bus routes. Then we can take the bus to go to work.”
Lu Qiaoling excitedly widened her eyes: “Really?” Then she said to herself: “Second Sister, what you say must be true. Wow, it would be great if there was a bus stop near our house then.”
Lu Qiaoge confidently told her: “There will definitely be one here.”
Latest news: the military factory is preparing to build a family building, right here in the bungalow area.
This place is actually not far from the department store at the factory department in District One.
It could be said that this is the earliest demolition, so there will definitely be a station.
Lu Qiaoge exhorted Lu Qiaoling not to go out and talk about it, as it hasn’t been finalized yet, and there might still be changes.
But what is certain is that her suggestion was adopted.
She couldn’t help but think of the old gold mine.
Lu Qiaoge still decided to wait for Qin Hengzhi to come back and go together to the ruins of the old gold mine at Yuanbao Mountain.
Xiao Cangcang had drilled in through the gap before, and there was golden sand in the underground river inside.
If Lu Qiaoge was right, that was placer gold.
Thinking about it, back then they definitely didn’t mine it all clean, and later they failed and had to leave, abandoning this place too.
If it weren’t for the flood changing the river course here, it should have been discovered by the gold military.
Qin Hengzhi had been back for less than half an hour when he saw a familiar swallow flying towards the city.
He smiled slightly: was this going to report to Qiao Ge?
Lu Qiaoge was still helping at the archives bureau, and he didn’t call her.
He still had to have a meeting with the factory leader.
And now the materials in the basement of the archives bureau were almost organized.
These people could return to their original work units tomorrow.
Lu Qiaoge was the same.
She heard Tao Tao’s voice: 【Little Master, Qin Hengzhi is back.】
Lu Qiaoge said to it in her heart: “Good, I know.”
Lu Qiaoge handed over the work in her hands, placed the registered notebooks together, and told Dong Xiangqin that she had something to do in the afternoon and couldn’t come.
She handed the materials on Hongxing Lake to Dong Xiangqin and said in a low voice: “This one should be kept separately. In the early years, Hongxing Lake had a dock and was once an important channel for transporting supplies. I’ll mention it to Qin Hengzhi; maybe he’ll come to check the materials.”
Dong Xiangqin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed.
Lu Qiaoge left the archives bureau but didn’t go to the trade department.
She knew the progress on the grass weaving handicrafts.
Delivering on schedule would definitely not be a problem.
She had to go to Yuanbao Mountain with Qin Hengzhi.
Lu Qiaoge wasn’t in a hurry either; she went home first to eat, and when Qin Hengzhi finished the meeting, he saw Lu Qiaoge waiting for him at the doorway of the military representative office.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge, dressed for the wilderness, were already driving towards Yuanbao Mountain.
The calico cat meowing meow meow was sitting in the car.
Actually, the swallow, grey pigeon, and Xiao Cangcang were following behind flying.
Qin Hengzhi didn’t ask Lu Qiaoge for specifics; he just knew she told him to bring tools suitable for digging.
He turned his head to look at the calm Lu Qiaoge, really not sure what she was going to do.
He wasn’t not asked before; she just said you’d know when we get there.
So Qin Hengzhi shut up and didn’t ask further.
He and Lu Qiaoge were talking about the quota for recommendations to university this year.
“If you want to go, you can go,” Qin Hengzhi said to Lu Qiaoge like this.
Of course Lu Qiaoge wouldn’t go to such a university.
She had to get in by taking the college entrance examination herself.
But Lu Qiaoge countered Qin Hengzhi: “Do you think I should go?”
Qin Hengzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “You shouldn’t go. The students from these past few classes are of mixed quality… You’d be better off going to night school first to build a solid foundation, and besides, you’re only nineteen years old, no rush.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled faintly: as expected of Qin Hengzhi, he really had foresight.
Her eyes turned slightly, and she said very obediently: “Good, I’ll listen to you.”
Qin Hengzhi: “…”
She was doing it again!
But in his heart, he was especially delighted, even though he knew it wasn’t really the case.
He didn’t speak, but his gaze became even gentler.
Of course, Hua Hua was being naughty, jumping up and down, so he couldn’t even get close to Qiao Ge.
Qin Hengzhi collected his thoughts and focused on driving.
Qiao Ge asking him to come to Yuanbao Mountain definitely meant something big; this was a sign of her trust in him.
He was already very happy.
Following what Lu Qiaoge said, the car drove all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Lu Qiaoge got out of the car, changed into rubber shoes and work clothes and pants, put on a hat, not only gloves, but also neatly tied up her trouser legs.
Qin Hengzhi checked his wristwatch: it was exactly 1:10 p.m.
He had also changed into training uniform as per Lu Qiaoge’s instructions.
He didn’t wear gloves, but took a pair of high-top women’s military shoes out of the trunk for Lu Qiaoge.
“Try these and see if they fit.”
With high tops, she naturally wouldn’t wear ordinary rubber shoes.
After Lu Qiaoge changed into them, they surprisingly fit.
Qin Hengzhi squatted down and naturally tucked her pant legs into the shoe vamps and fastened them.
They each checked themselves, and basically there were no problems.
Lu Qiaoge said to the calico cat: “Lead the way ahead.”
The calico cat darted into the mountain forest with a whoosh.
Xiao Cangcang quietly said to Lu Qiaoge: 【Should we dig up those few wild ginseng plants I found this time?】
Lu Qiaoge told it in her heart: “Of course dig them up.”
Xiao Cangcang: 【Good, I’ll go check again.】
In August, Yuanbao Mountain started harvesting mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms.
There weren’t many people going up the mountain now, because these past few days were the harvest season for spring wheat.
Without harvesters, they had to cut the wheat by hand, so when Lu Qiaoge called Brigade Leader Lin and told him to organize people to pick mushrooms, Brigade Leader Lin said only old men and children could go pick mushrooms, but if they needed a lot, he could free up some manpower to pick for a few days specifically.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t agree and told Brigade Leader Lin to continue the autumn harvest; grain was the most important.
A few days later would still be fine.
At this time, the woods here were quiet.
Lu Qiaoge followed the calico cat, Qin Hengzhi carrying the backpack naturally didn’t fall behind and followed Lu Qiaoge, using one hand to push aside the branches and shrubbery blocking the way in front of her.
He hesitated for a moment, then still reached out to hold Lu Qiaoge’s hand.
Lu Qiaoge obediently let him hold her small hand.
Qin Hengzhi’s breathing hitched, and suddenly he felt that the dim woods had become bright and sunny.
He only felt that this outing, no matter what it was for, was totally worth it.
Even the rustling sound of stepping on leaves was so pleasant.
Lu Qiaoge looked up at Qin Hengzhi, whose brows and eyes were gentle.
With him clearing the way like this, the road was much easier.
Along the way, there was no time to talk; Qin Hengzhi held Lu Qiaoge’s hand and hurried along silently, soon arriving near the old gold mine.
After passing through the shrubbery, the view suddenly opened up.
The calico cat looked back at the hand-holding pair, then leaped down.
Qin Hengzhi, carrying the shovel, looked around: he had indeed been here before. He said to Lu Qiaoge: “Look over there, that’s the wild cherry tree.”
But Lu Qiaoge pointed to the earthen slope where the calico cat was standing: “Do you see that earthen slope?”
Qin Hengzhi narrowed his eyes: what, was there something inside or behind the earthen slope?
Lu Qiaoge jumped down neatly, and Qin Hengzhi followed by jumping down.
They soon reached the front of the earthen slope.
Qin Hengzhi opened the backpack and took out the specially made entrenching tool.
Lu Qiaoge smiled and asked: “Do you know what’s in the earthen slope?”
Qin Hengzhi assembled the specially made entrenching tool with a few clicks and asked Lu Qiaoge: “What’s there?”
Lu Qiaoge’s eyes sparkled: “Gold mine, there’s an underground gold mine here!”
Wishing all the treasures whose families have examinees taking the college entrance examination to top the list!
Asking for monthly passes from the treasures, gratitude, love you~
