Chapter 918 A Goal
Lu Qiaoge listened patiently.
In the end, she realized that the child only regretted causing trouble for her and the cat, and didn't mention his suicide attempt at all.
They don't seem to regret it.
There's a feeling that she would have been free if she had died back then.
Finally, her voice choked with sobs, she asked, "Sister Lu, can I stay here in the hospital indefinitely? I don't want to go home... Waaah, I... I don't want to go home!"
Lu Qiaoge wiped away her tears and patted the back of her hand, without lecturing her on profound principles, because now was not the time for such pronouncements.
We need to give her some direction to help her settle down, but we don't know if she'll be interested in that direction.
So Lu Qiaoge asked Dong Mingming in a gentle voice, "Mingming, do you want to join the army?"
Dong Mingming was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lu Qiaoge said that.
Lu Qiaoge: "Tell me first, do you want to join the army?"
In this military compound, it's not difficult for children to join the army; in fact, it's quite easy, especially for boys. Female recruits, however, are in very short supply.
Dong Mingming hadn't thought of that either.
After all, she is still in school, and nowadays, except in special circumstances, younger people cannot join the army.
But does Dong Mingming know what it's like to be a soldier?
Just like a father.
And it's even more serious than their fathers'; some of them can't go home for a whole year and have to stay in the military base the whole time.
But it was an unfamiliar environment, and Dong Mingming felt a little scared just thinking about it.
But compared to going home, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.
Dong Mingming's eyes finally lit up, and she said urgently to Lu Qiaoge, "Sister Lu, I...can I go?"
"Then tell me, do you want to go?"
Dong Mingming nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I want to go. If I go, I won't have to go home all the time."
Lu Qiaoge said, "As long as you want to go, I'll take care of it. And even if you can't get promoted in the army, when you leave the military, your job will be arranged by your sister Lu."
What do you want to do?
"Will you go to an instant noodle factory, a wool sweater factory, or a pickle factory? Hmm, new factories will be established in the future, there's bound to be one you like..."
Lu Qiaoge spoke these words in a gentle tone, and naturally, this emotion also affected Dong Mingming.
For some reason, she found herself feeling a sense of longing for it.
Seeing that she was about to speak, Lu Qiaoge said, "Don't think about this for now. If I help you, will it cause me trouble? Will anyone be unhappy? Will it have any impact? Don't think about these things for now, because it's pointless to think about them now."
Dong Mingming looked at Lu Qiaoge, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes: "What do you mean by 'thinking about it is pointless'?"
Lu Qiaoge said, "I know your birthday. You should be fifteen in six months. As far as I know, there are a few places where you can go when you're fifteen, so you'll have to stay at home for another six months. What do you think?"
There are still six months left, and she doesn't want to stay even for half a day.
But Dong Mingming would definitely not say that.
Because children with this kind of personality wouldn't say things that would upset others.
Sure enough, she obediently said, "I'll listen to Sister Lu."
Lu Qiaoge reached out and gently rubbed her head, saying softly, "Then you should focus on getting better. Joining the army... is a secret between the two of us. Don't tell anyone else yet, okay?"
Dong Mingming nodded vigorously: "I won't tell anyone, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Lu Qiaoge smiled, stood up and said, "I have to go to work now. Be good, and if I can get off work on time tonight, I'll bring you something delicious."
Dong Mingming shook her head habitually again: "Sister Lu, you are very busy and work very hard. You don't need to bring me delicious food. There is so much food available, I can't eat it all." Lu Qiaoge smiled and then lowered her voice to say to her: "Huahua and that little sparrow are probably worried about you, so they will definitely come to check on you from time to time. You don't need to worry about them. They are very smart and know how to hide."
Dong Mingming kept saying "uh-huh" repeatedly.
His previously lifeless face now seemed to come alive.
What kind of feeling does Dong Mingming have right now?
It was as if she were lying in bed on a damp day, the blankets she was covered with were very damp, and the sheets were sticky and uncomfortable.
But now...
She seemed to be lying in a room with a south-facing window, where sunlight streamed in. Her blankets, pillows, sheets, and the mattress underneath were all dry and smelled of sunshine.
Whether I'm hugging the blanket or rolling around in bed, it's so dry and comfortable.
At this moment, Dong Mingming felt hungry.
However, she can't eat those dishes right now; it seems she can only have some porridge for now.
Rice porridge is also good, but plain rice porridge would be even better.
Lu Qiaoge spoke a few more words to her, and then went outside and saw the old lady sitting on a chair outside, holding a thermos in her hands.
Lu Qiaoge told Mrs. Dong, "I have to go to work. Mingming said she's hungry."
This made the old lady very happy. The doctor said she could eat, even rice soup or porridge. She had some rice porridge here, which smelled delicious. But Mingming didn't want to eat, so she didn't dare to scold her and could only wait until she wanted to eat.
So, she was holding the rice porridge in her arms.
Seeing that the old lady had gone inside, Lu Qiaoge felt relieved and went to work.
At this critical juncture, even if the old lady was dissatisfied, she had to endure it, and she had to show kindness both in public and in private.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to face the people in the compound.
Lu Qiaoge drove to the General Administration to report for duty, where he explained the preparations for the electronics factory and reported on the situation of An Lina, Chen Kede, and the others.
They have all left the Dragon Kingdom, and Lu Qiaoge has not yet contacted them about their current situation.
They were so focused on Dong Mingming's affairs that they didn't let Xiao Cangcang and the others go to Gangcheng to check on the Luo family's situation.
Moreover, Lu Qiaoge didn't really want to pay attention to it.
If Luo Ziwen can't even manage his own father, it will indeed cause some trouble for future cooperation.
Don't assume that people who achieve great things are ruthless and heartless.
Being a capitalist doesn't preclude being a filial son.
Luo Ziwen spoke with righteous indignation, but when he actually faced his father, he might not have been so upright, nor so assertive.
You could tell from the phone call that this wasn't the first time the old man had been to his office, and this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a second time if it happens once.
This shows that Old Luo still has a say in the family.
This is also the source of his popularity and confidence within his clan.
If we really ask Old Luo to stay out of everything, would the old man agree?
So Lu Qiaoge also took the opportunity to report on Luo Ziwen's matter.
