Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 59 A lot of discussion
Meng Xia was also shocked: "How did you know?"

Then he added, "Could it be that your Aunt Huang said that? But she doesn't seem to know."

Lu Qiaoge: "I don't know where you can go, Mom, but I know what positions you have this time. You definitely can't go to important production units like the workshop and steel mill. The cafeteria is under the management of Shen Yun's father. No matter what the reason, you won't be assigned there. The department store needs young people, and you're not suitable, Mom. But the children's primary school is expanding and needs school workers. There's no age limit. And this time, our family has been rumored, so the factory doesn't dare to make things difficult for us. I guess 90% of the time it will be the school."

Lu Qiaoge shook off the water droplets on his hands. If it weren't for the rumor, Meng Xia might have gone to the cafeteria. According to her age and experience, it would be most suitable for her to work in the big cafeteria. And people like Meng Xia also like to go to the big cafeteria.

But the children's school is also very good and not far from home.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Old Lady Lu and said, "Of course, there's also my grandmother's face."

Old Mrs. Lu smiled in disbelief: "Really? You are just a kid who can fool people."

Lu Qiaoge: "You are a family member of a martyr, and Shen Yun and the others actually dared to spread rumors about you. They really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Speaking of the families of martyrs, Mrs. Lu was obviously a little sad, but so many years have passed, and the living should look forward.

Lu Qiaoge sat beside Old Lady Lu and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, did you know that the swallow brought back a piece of grass this morning, and Xiao Si ate it?"

Mrs. Lu's attention was immediately diverted, and she also lowered her voice and said, "I know about this. I noticed it when you told me the other day."

Then he said to Lu Qiaoge, "Don't tell your dad about this. He's a bit of a conservative, and your mom might not be reassured. It's better for us to know."

This was just to coax the children, and Lu Qiaoge would not really believe it, because Old Lady Lu would definitely tell them in private.

It would not be effective to tell them directly about this matter, but it would be much smoother if I told them through Old Lady Lu.

There may be unexpected effects.

Lu Qiage did not go to the street office in the afternoon. She brought twelve people from the service station to make the adobe bricks needed for the wall, and then moved all the usable bricks and tiles to the vicinity of the house.

Meng Qingshan looked at it carefully and said to Lu Qiaoge, "If we don't go to the Construction Engineering Department to borrow tools, we can use the broken tree to make a ladder."

Some of the tools these people use are from their own homes, and some are from the street office.

But it would be nice to make a ladder by herself. Many of her twelve people have skills.

And if it is done well, it will also be a fixed asset of the service station in the future.

When Lu Qiaoge turned around the courtyard wall, he saw three or four old ladies sitting under a tree and talking not far away.

Lu Qiaoge walked towards the north of the night school, but still heard their conversation clearly.

"You said the tree was broken in a weird way, right in the middle. Why does it feel wrong to me?"

"Are you overthinking it? The storm that night was so severe that breaking branches was normal. Look at the volunteers working at the night school. Weren't they clearing branches from the gutters a few days ago?"

"You said it was just a branch, so it's normal for it to break. But this is an elm tree that's over ten years old. How could it be broken in half? If there were such strong winds, wouldn't our roof be blown off?"

"You said this is really weird. It's only been a few days since the big tree was blown down here, and Master Liu's youngest son is holding a kitchen knife and trying to chop Li Ying."

Two old ladies pointed to the yellow mud pond not far away.

The name Huangnitang is just a random name. Strictly speaking, this area should be called Xiangyang Night School. Behind it is the family housing area. The current Huangnitang is actually an empty lot.

It used to be a pond. At that time, the military factory was not as populated as it is now, and there were not many housing for family members here. After the accident, the factory leaders felt that this place was very dangerous and there was not much use in keeping such a mud pond, so they filled it up.

When the military factory was expanding, the construction department came here, but in the end they didn't build the tube building here. It is said that there is permafrost underneath, and this swampy area is not suitable for building buildings. Over time, the first floor will sink.

So it's just idle for the time being.

An elderly woman continued, "I heard from a neighbor of Master Liu's that the child, Liu Yu, attacked Li Ying with a kitchen knife. Everyone asked him why, and he said Li Ying had killed his mother."

"Oh my god, then...did he tell me how he was killed?"

"Who knows? It's been more than ten years now, and the yellow mud pond has been added. No one knows what the situation was like back then."

"Liu Yu is also a pitiful child. He has an older sister, who was said to have been given away by his father. There has been no news of her since."

"Let me tell you, don't keep saying how cruel Li Ying is. The worst person is Master Liu. That's his own son. Look at how he raised him. He did everything he could to get Li Ying's son, who was born to another woman, to be an apprentice in a workshop, while he sent his own son to a car repair shop to help out. The child was so skinny and small, and his father was so blind that he couldn't see that? He has no humanity at all."

"A person like this still wants to be named an advanced worker. Bah! I'll be the first to vote against it."

"The big elm tree is broken. Maybe Liu Yu's mother is worried about her son."

"Alright, alright, let's just talk about it behind our backs, but don't tell the younger generation when we get home. Otherwise, they'll criticize us for being superstitious."

A few old ladies glanced towards the night school and indeed stopped talking about this topic and continued to mend the soles of the shoes in their hands.

Nowadays, many people like to wear shoes they make themselves.

Although they looked a bit rustic, Lu Qiage felt that the shoes he made were very comfortable to wear.

That's what she's wearing on her feet now.

Lu Qiaoge didn't specifically ask the tabby cat to inquire about any information.

The main reason is that Lu Qiage is planning to expose the bookcase incident tomorrow, and it seems like the time is almost up.

But unexpectedly, when Lu Qiage went to the unit the next day to report to Director Hu, he found that Director Hu was not in the office.

Then everyone in the office looked a little strange.

Shao Le was not at the police station today. When he saw Lu Qiaoge coming over, he quickly said to her, "Maybe we're going to have a big case here."

Lu Qiaoge asked, "What's going on? Everyone looks a little off."

"You weren't here yesterday afternoon. You don't know that Director Hu, Secretary Liu, and I went to Master Liu's house again at noon. When we went in, the whole family was eating, but we didn't see Liu Yu. Then Director Hu asked where Liu Yu had gone, and Master Liu lied, saying the child had gone out to play. Then we heard noises in the utility room, and when we went there... Master Liu was really cruel. He tied up the child, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and shoved him in a corner, while Master Liu was eating and drinking with a clear conscience."

Shao Le shook his head, he didn't understand.
