Chapter 164 - 166: Provocation_1
Hu Xiufang: "Mr. Liao said you’ve only been on the team for half a month, and you’ve already participated in solving two cases. That’s quite impressive." Top student and also top worker.
Li Qiao gave a light smile: "You said it yourself; I only participated. It wasn’t just my effort alone."
"Mr. Liao also mentioned that the team is considering holding a commendation meeting for you."
Li Qiao was somewhat surprised, "Really? No one has mentioned it to me." Wonder if there’ll be pork to take home, with Qin Jin not around, there’s no one to go fishing. Pork requires coupons, and without connections with the butchers, you can’t buy any even with money in hand. The canteen has some, but only two pieces per day, delicious in every way, which makes you crave more after eating. Right now, she was so craving meat that she could almost bite her own tongue while eating.
The two chatted as they walked into the compound to push their bicycles.
Li Qiao tied the apples to the back of her bicycle seat.
"How much did you buy your apples for? If they’re cheap, I’ll also buy a bag," Hu Xiufang’s gaze swept over the net bag full of yellow apples.
Li Qiao: "They were a gift." The fruit from the stores without coupons is twice as expensive. The bag of yellow apples she gave to Liu Er’s family cost 69 cents, and that was already a friendly price. "I’ll give you some later."
"No, no, no," Hu Xiufang waved her hands repeatedly, changing the subject, "I ran into Zhao Li at the supply and marketing co-op the other day. She said Li Jinhua got married. Who would marry her?!"
Li Qiao let out a snort of laughter; Zhao Li’s news was always so surprisingly well-informed. She recounted the whole story.
Hu Xiufang commented, "Isn’t that brother digging a hole for his brother?"
