Chapter 292: You’re A Beneficiary
Shao Le immediately said impatiently, “You say it, you say it!”
Lu Qiaoge: “First of all, you are a vested interest holder, right?”
Shao Le was stunned for a moment, then understood: “Yes, yes, yes, I understand that.”
Everything that should have been enjoyed by Shao Yonggang was taken away by him.
Lu Qiaoge: “You don’t need to deliberately get along well with Shao Yonggang, but you have to give the Shao family parents and Shao Yonggang the opportunity to make up for family affection. You know about Jun An older brother’s matter, right? It’s just like that.”
Shao Le nodded and said in a muffled voice: “Originally, getting married meant living with parents, but now I definitely have to move out. Um, I’ll talk to Mom and Dad tonight and move out tomorrow.”
As for Chen Zhi, he could only wait and see.
Could she still look up to him now?
Shao Le felt he should have confidence, but he also felt that since he had encountered being deliberately switched at birth, what else couldn’t happen.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t mention Chen Zhi either. At least the current Chen Zhi wouldn’t break up with him right away, but later if he really had to bring Zhao Lao Laizi to provide elderly care or even support the Zhao family younger brother and younger sister and take on the responsibility of helping them establish families and careers, Chen Zhi might not agree.
Even if she agreed, Chen Mama wouldn’t agree.
Lu Qiaoge: “You can apply for a staff dormitory or go rent a house. Believe me, next year our factory housing definitely won’t be this tense.”
Shao Le nodded: “Um, I’ll go find a house tomorrow.”
“Do you still remember Ding Jianshe’s matter?” Lu Qiaoge suddenly asked.
Shao Le’s eyes lit up: “Later during the follow-up visit to check on that kid who changed his name to Ding Weixing’s living situation, you took me there, and we also met Deputy Director Zhang from the Housing Management Office. I know what to say.”
With Lu Qiaoge’s connection, renting a house shouldn’t be a big problem.
Although Dad and Mom could help, he couldn’t use it now.
Lu Qiaoge nodded with a smile. Actually, Shao Le was a very smart young man.
He just hadn’t learned how to handle some things yet.
Lu Qiaoge said again: “From your description, your biological father really isn’t a good person. At this age, whether it’s his thoughts, behavior, or character, it’s hard to educate him well anymore. But hearing his nickname, he’s just a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. As long as you hold your bottom line in your heart, manage what you should manage, don’t interfere with what you shouldn’t, and don’t need to be tactful when speaking.”
Then Lu Qiaoge said with a grin: “You can refer to the conversation between me and Wei Sixin.”
Shao Le was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and for some reason, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Vaguely, he knew how to adjust his life.
First, he couldn’t lose his job; that was the foundation of settling down and making a living.
Second, his adoptive parents were his real parents. They brought him happiness, and he would repay them with happiness.
There was also Shao Yonggang. The Zhao family had wronged him, and he felt full of guilt.
Then there was the Zhao family. No matter what, he had to go back once; he couldn’t let that old man surnamed Zhao find the military factory.
As for how to get along, that would depend on the situation.
No way around it; this was his fate, and he couldn’t dodge it all.
Unless he left here and lived incognito.
But unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t choose to do that.
Shao Le seemed to have figured out a lot, and he walked away with light steps.
Lu Qiaoge suddenly had a whimsical idea. Since she was idle anyway, she would go find Qin Hengzhi.
Before leaving, she told Meng Xia: “Mom, I’m going to hang out with Qin Hengzhi. If he’s not at the Military Representative Office, I’ll go visit Director He. Um, and by the way, check on my Fourth Aunt.”
Meng Xia hurriedly said: “If Hengzhi isn’t at the Military Representative Office, are you going to visit Director He empty-handed like that? Besides, there’s Sun Qin and Xiu Bo. Sun Qin always comes to bring good food to your grandma.”
Meng Xia’s voice was very gentle.
The second daughter had helped Sun Qin. How to put it, that person really remembered favors. She also treated Sun Qin like relatives. Sometimes when Sun Qin was busy, Sun Xiubo who was going to school was picked up and brought home by her. Anyway, their relationship always got better the more they interacted.
While talking, Meng Xia had already packed a net bag and said: “This is pickled little yellow cucumbers and pork mushroom sauce for Director He, one bottle of each for her to taste.”
Lu Qiaoge thought it was fine, so she put the net bag in the bicycle basket.
Meng Xia didn’t prepare anything for Qin Hengzhi because he ate at home yesterday, and when he left, she gave him two big bottles.
They were probably all eaten by now; those young soldiers could eat a lot. No way around it; maybe one meal wiped them all out.
Meng Xia smiled and exhorted her second daughter to come back early.
Youth was really great. Watching them date like this made people feel happy.
These two were getting along better and better now; every gesture showed tacit understanding and intimacy.
As their mother, she was naturally happy.
Thinking of Shao Le, she couldn’t help being gossipy and mysteriously asked Lu Qiaoge: “Is Shao Le going to recognize his biological father?”
Lu Qiaoge countered: “Why recognize a biological father like that?”
Meng Xia nodded in agreement. Yeah, what kind of family was that? It was simply a bottomless pit.
But after her second daughter left, she said to Old Lu who was listening to the opera contentedly: “Did you hear that? You also have to be proper and decent; don’t drag your daughter down, or else the kids won’t look up to you.”
Lu Da glared at her: “What does this have to do with that? There’s no comparison at all, okay?”
Meng Xia thought about it and just chuckled.
Old Lu also laughed. Life was comfortable; one’s heart wasn’t anxious or that sensitive. If it were before, such a topic might lead to an argument, but now they both just laughed it off and didn’t take it to heart.
Lu Qiaoge rode her bicycle to the Military Representative Office.
On the way, Tao Tao came to tell her that tomorrow morning the vanguard of the swallow flock would set off.
It had been selected as the lead swallow for the first batch this time.
No way around it; once selected by nature, it had to go.
Then she definitely had to see off their family of five.
Fortunately, tomorrow was Sunday. Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, she also had to go to Yuanbao Mountain.
Tao Tao flew away, and Lu Qiaoge arrived at the Military Representative Office.
Qin Hengzhi was really there, just finished being busy, and had just freshened up. His eyes were bright, with water droplets still on his hair, looking exceptionally appetizing.
When Qin Hengzhi saw Lu Qiaoge, he smiled, put on his military cap, and left the Military Representative Office with her. They first went to the parking place, got in the car, looked at the sunset glow in the west, and Qin Hengzhi softly suggested: “Shall we keep driving west, watch the sunset first, then go to the research institute on the way back?”
Lu Qiaoge looked toward the sky in the west.
At this moment, the glow was intense. The clouds in the sky seemed ignited by fierce flames, layers of fire-like clouds overlapping in shades of depth, diffusing across the darkening sky, so brilliant it took one’s breath away, so fantastical it didn’t seem of this world.
Then let’s go watch the clouds burning like flames.
Qin Hengzhi drove Lu Qiaoge straight west.
Soon they left the family courtyard and reached an open area. The two stood side by side in front of the car, gazing at the fiery horizon.
Strangely, with no excited emotions jumping around in their hearts, the two were very calm, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and sweet…
Watching the sunset alone and watching it together with someone were still different!
