Qiao Qingqing, having been abandoned by her biological parents once again, was unaware of these upsetting developments, so her mood remained quite good. After all, Zhou Hongjun had been arrested, and her new house was already halfway finished. At this pace, Qiao Qingqing would soon be able to move in.
Lu Heng had returned to his military unit the previous night, but the Brigade Leader, considerate of her poor health, had granted her leave. Yet, she couldn't just sit still. Early in the morning, she went to help move bricks and mix mortar. The Brigade Leader was there working, too. Outside of busy farming seasons, work was voluntary for everyone except the educated youths. While most diligent people chose to work to earn points, others did not. The Brigade Leader and the others, however, were helping build Qiao Qingqing’s house, so naturally, they couldn't go to their regular assignments.
Seeing Qiao Qingqing bustling about, the Brigade Leader, out of concern, offered a few words of advice. As they spoke, Feng Xiumei arrived, leading someone toward them.
