Chapter 155 -155: How Good She’s Been All Her Life
Uncle Gu shouted loudly for the family’s personal physician, “Doctor Han, come quickly, the old master seems to be waking up.”
The door was swiftly opened, and a figure dashed in like an arrow, followed by various examinations.
An hour later, Elder Gu slowly opened his eyes.
…
Dawn arrived quickly.
Gu Qiaoqiao was still in her dreams, while Qin Yize had already returned from his run, bringing back breakfast for Gu Qiaoqiao, then left a note and departed.
The note told Gu Qiaoqiao that he had to go to the test site below to check on work and wouldn’t be back for a few days.
But that was just a pretext, what he was really heading to was Mountain City, miles away.
Wherever he went, Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t concerned, she had her own matters to attend to.
She was going to start clearing land with Du Shuang to plant vegetables.
The two were collaborators, first planting in Zheng’s vegetable garden, and then in Gu Qiaoqiao’s.
Then, under their lead, a large number of families also started planting, and as for vegetable seeds, the base’s logistics planted vegetables every year, so there was no shortage of seeds.
Besides, growing vegetables was a good thing.
It could reduce quite a lot of burden.
In one week’s time, Gu Qiaoqiao’s vegetable garden was all planted.
Then she stopped managing it.
No matter how it was planted, or whether it grew well or not, it was enough for two people to eat.
During this time she received letters from An Xiaotong and Shang Qing, as well as from Chang Qing.
An Xiaotong’s letter made Gu Qiaoqiao a bit worried, she poured her heart out to Gu Qiaoqiao, saying her mother and elder brother were very critical of her, because once An Xiaolan mocked her for being weak and incompetent, a disgrace to the An Family, and out of anger she raised her hand. She felt she didn’t even touch her, but somehow, An Xiaolan tumbled down the stairs.
Then An Xiaolan got injured and was hospitalized, and before she could recover, she cried and asked to leave the An Family. Her elder brother was even furious, to the point of slapping her.
Now she was very sad and in pain, with only her grandmother standing by her side, believing she would not do such a thing.
Even her parents didn’t believe her.
She didn’t know what to do, feeling like she was unnecessary, that An Xiaolan, the adopted daughter, was the real blood relative.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought that a mean person is always pretentious.
Although there was no evidence, Gu Qiaoqiao felt that An Xiaolan wasn’t kind-hearted.
Gu Qiaoqiao sent a letter back, telling An Xiaotong that now was not the time to be meek, nor a time to compete in kindness. If she didn’t want to have accidents anymore, then it was time to wield the authority of the An Family’s legitimate eldest daughter.
After all, she was just a scheming adopted daughter.
Did she really think she was the Golden Phoenix?
Gu Qiaoqiao told An Xiaotong that only by standing up for herself could she knock others down.
Otherwise, not only would she never be able to turn things around, she might even lose her life.
As for Shang Qing and Chang Qing, there were no major issues.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a few days before replying to their letters.
And to contact home she could just go to the base to make a call, or to the post office in the county town.
Gu Tianfeng still hadn’t received a reply from the magazine, which probably wouldn’t come so quickly, but his grandmother’s greenhouse had started officially selling vegetables.
The first batch of cucumbers didn’t even need to be transported; the truck from the Luo Family took them directly away.
Just from this one time, half of a greenhouse’s capital costs were recovered.
Not to mention, the tomatoes were about to ripen too.
Now, the Lian Family Village had become a model for wealth creation.
The county paid special attention to it, not only sending people to provide guidance but also planning to make Lian Family Village a demonstration site to vigorously promote greenhouse vegetable cultivation.
Now, Lian Family Village had undergone earth-shattering changes in just a few months.
Gu Qiaoqiao was also very happy to hear it.
If her eldest uncle and youngest uncle continued on this path, their lives would get better and better.
And on the day she made the phone call, the machinery also arrived.
Although it was not big, it was quite heavy.
Two members of the security squad helped to bring it back and then placed it in the living room.
The bedroom isn’t suitable for this kind of thing, because there will be powder and dust when grinding jade.
After connecting to the power supply, Gu Qiaoqiao began to operate according to the manual.
Gu Qiaoqiao learned quickly; of course, this was also thanks to the training from her past life. There were many machines in the kitchen back then, especially the ones for mixing dough; they were all electrically operated.
By now, it had been over a week since Qin Yize left, and Border City had entered early summer.
