I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 395 What is this thing?

These eyes were very familiar, as if she had seen them in her dreams.

However, the owner of these eyes was now staring intensely at her.

Unmoving, the eeriness raised the hairs on Qiao Qingyu’s neck.

Qiao Qingyu put down what she was holding and hurried toward the east.

Her movements were quick, and she radiated an air of solemnity.

In broad daylight, daring to play tricks in front of her, she wanted to see what this thing was.

So, it was strange now, but Qiao Qingyu didn’t feel scared at all, practically in the blink of an eye, she had sprinted over.

This time, she saw it clearly.

These eyes belonged to a girl with a pale face and a sharp chin.

Her hair was somewhat withered.

She even had two braids and wore a gray stand-collar jacket.

With bangs cut straight across her forehead.

Seeing Qiao Qingyu approach, she even smiled at her.

But the smile was filled with malice.

"Who are you?" Qiao Qingyu asked, frowning.

The other seemingly wanted to say something, but at that moment, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she looked somewhat terrified. She glanced at Qiao Qingyu’s chest and then vanished in a flash.

Under the bright sun, the brilliant sun hung in the western sky.

The girl who had been lying on her home’s wall suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if she was made of a puff of smoke that a breeze had dispersed.

Qiao Qingyu was also quick, her hands thrust on the wall and, with a swoosh, she leaped out.

The area around her home was quite open; opposite was the Poplar Forest, and even if the other party had the speed of light, she couldn’t have reached the forest in an instant, so that direction was out, and left and right were empty.

So, was it just her imagination?

Qiao Qingyu knitted her brows tightly, inspected her surroundings carefully again, then crouched beneath the wall. Though it was all sandy soil with no footprints, if someone had been under this wall, there always should have been some traces.

Unfortunately, she found nothing and returned to her house.

To prove how mysterious this world was, she entered her Space Device. After entering, Qiao Qingyu took a deep breath. It was nothing extraordinary; she could enter another space, so the sudden appearance of an energy body was not strange.

When He Xiuyu came back home, Qiao Qingyu shared the incident with him. He Xiuyu checked thoroughly the next morning, but he also didn’t notice anything.

He then took half a day off, waiting until He Xiuyu went off to school, then he had Qiao Qingyu take him into the Space Device.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t know what he was busy with; anyhow, it didn’t relate to what she was currently occupied with.

Qiao Qingyu soon put the matter out of her mind.

She received several phone calls, including ones from her grandfather and Qin Duo.

Another call was from He Juanjuan.

He Juanjuan told Qiao Qingyu that all the Soothing Grass had been sold out and that she wasn’t planning to sell any more.

After she had paid off the debt she owed to her brother, she still had some money left. She asked Qiao Qingyu what she should do now.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t immediately reply, only telling her that her temperament was somewhat whimsical, quite suited for making quick changes, like selling Soothing Grass, but to focus on one thing in one place, she couldn’t persist.

She just told her not to rush and to talk about it slowly.

He Juanjuan still felt somewhat resentful, claiming that Old Lady He kept all the money earned in a passbook and wouldn’t allow anyone to use even a penny, being extremely stingy.

But she merely murmured a few words and quickly changed the subject.

Wu Xiucai made a phone call to inform Qiao Qingyu that during the summer vacation, he planned to bring Wu Qianyun and Qiao Zhicai to Xichuan to stay for a while.

One reason was to visit Qiao Qingyu and He Xiuyu, and another was because the Wulong Chemical Factory was expanding its scale and planning to build another branch.

The location would be the same as before, where the environment was suitable, close to the barren sand area. The barren sand could not be greened, so the pollution was relatively less, and most importantly, the transportation was extremely convenient.

Qiao Qingyu naturally welcomed this.

As for where to stay, that would be decided upon arrival.

Qiao Qingyu’s house was spacious, and living there would be quite comfortable.

Qin Duo called to tell Qiao Qingyu that the support funds for the seed production base had been approved, and the documents would soon be sent out to the local area, believing that the Qiao Family Team would soon be calling her.

Indeed, when Qiao Qingyu was about to leave, an excited Vice Director Sun from the commune called her to inform her that the documents had been sent down to him.

Qiao Family Team had become a rewarded and supported seed production base.

There was still a lot of work to be done, and the commune planned to incorporate Hejia Village, which was adjacent to the Qiao Family Team, under its jurisdiction.

And mentioned that Wu Xiucai was planning to build a bridge over that river.

The village’s cement road had also been completed.

Next, they planned to extend it from the commune towards the county town.

Then Uncle came on the phone and talked to Qiao Qingyu about some matters regarding both Qiao Family Team and home.

Qiao Zhihai had been following Captain Liang’s construction team along with Li Tie.

He indeed learned a lot.

In terms of craftsmanship, there was no special distinction based on age.

For someone of Qiao Zhihai’s age, entering this field was not considered late.

He had brought his eldest son along too; although his son was not naturally talented in this area, he excelled in being honest, loyal, and obedient.

The village had specifically appointed two highly respected elders, responsible for the village’s spiritual outlook.

They were also called "civilization inspectors."

Wearing red armbands, they managed major and minor matters concerning these aspects in the village.

Such as favoring sons over daughters, mistreating the elderly, spousal abuse, domestic violence, scolding in the streets, and marriage trading, all fell under their supervision.

Then Qiao Genbao’s planted seedlings all sprouted and were growing very well.

The brigade had unanimously passed the decision in a meeting that the cement roads must be well protected, planting flowers and willows on both sides of the roads.

This was now Qiao Genbao’s responsibility.

Then Qiao Genbao no longer had to work in the fields with the other members, but no one had any objections, as Qiao Genbao was indeed very skilled in this area. The plants he handled were particularly likely to survive, and the village elders said he was destined for it since his life element was water, and his name contained the character for "wood."

Now, the villagers really cherished the four cement roads in the village.

Though it was now possible to use them, they decided to wait another two days for safety reasons.

Especially just after successful laying, the elderly in the village spontaneously formed a monitoring group.

They watched over the children and animals like cats, dogs, and chickens, making sure they did not run onto the newly laid cement road, as walking on it would leave footprints and damage the road, so each stretch was managed by an elder.

And true enough, even Captain Liang himself was very satisfied with the road conditions in the village.
