Lu Lu Qiaoge didn't speak.

Lu Lu Qiaoling continued worriedly: "These commune members are not fools either. If you don't give them things, they won't give you vegetables. What are we two, not even official business, only the two yuan Mom gave us. But if we let the family compound take things first and then exchange for vegetables, those family members won't agree, and they might talk about it."

Lu Lu Qiaoge let Lu Lu Qiaoling nag, her method, even if she said it, it wouldn't be as intuitive as actual operation.

But Lu Qiao Ling's cleverness was a bit beyond her expectation.

"You just accompany me, don't worry about the others."

Lu Lu Qiaoling thought about it, but couldn't think of anything, so she could only nod in agreement. She tilted her head: "Second Sister, I found that you have changed, is it because of falling into the water and calling off the engagement?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge raised her eyebrows: "After experiencing such a serious stimulation, how could I still be the same as before?"

Lu Lu Qiaoling agreed deeply.

Talking, the sisters had already arrived at the Guzitun Brigade Headquarters.

On the way, they had already discovered the green vegetables in every family's vegetable garden.

They also saw the old lady cutting lettuce to feed chickens and ducks.

It was about the same as what the naughty swallow at Qi Shuang's house said.

Lu Lu Qiaoge went directly to the brigade headquarters and happened to see the brigade leader Lin with a sad face.

Seeing that it was two city girls looking for him, the brigade leader thought they were relatives of the educated youth in the village.

Didn't expect Lu Lu Qiaoge to directly hand the introduction letter to Brigade Leader Lin and explain the purpose with a smile.

Brigade Leader Lin, who had a sad face, didn't wait to finish listening, and widened his eyes and asked: "You said to exchange things for vegetables?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "I also accidentally heard about the verbal agreement between your village and the cafeteria, so I thought, with so many vegetables, you can't sell them and can't finish them, you can only feed them to chickens and ducks. It's a pity for the hard work of our collective farm members. It just so happens that our military factory has been a bit short of vegetables recently, so our neighborhood office Director Hu thought about whether we could use daily necessities to exchange for vegetables, which not only solves the urgent needs of Guzitun but also allows the workers of the military factory to eat green vegetables and make their bodies healthier to better build the motherland. Don't worry, I guarantee that our collective farm members won't suffer."

The accountant on the side asked excitedly: "What daily necessities do you have?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge: "What you want, you should have."

Lu Lu Qiaoling looked at her second sister standing at the brigade headquarters with a smile, listening to the brigade leader and the accountant gratefully saying that supporting the military factory is their honor, just exchange for some things, absolutely not taking advantage of the military factory.

Then it was an enthusiastic invitation for them to go to the brigade headquarters' vegetable garden first.

Besides the tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers planted at the corners, most of them were green vegetables.

Especially the lettuce, which grew very big, and some were already blooming.

Lu Lu Qiaoge expressed satisfaction: "Brigade Leader, I don't know if I can take some samples for the director to see?"

Brigade Leader Lin nodded repeatedly, absolutely can.

He asked the accountant to pick vegetables, then tied them with straw ropes and put them in a bamboo basket.

Lu Lu Qiaoge praised their vegetables for growing well, and then discussed with Brigade Leader Lin how to exchange.

Brigade Leader Lin didn't want to scare people away.

"No matter what things you take, my green vegetables here are at a unified price, one cent per catty. I will pick the best for you."

The accountant said: "We can take matches as an example, one box of matches can exchange for two catties of spinach."

Brigade Leader Lin looked at Lu Lu Qiaoge with eager eyes, feeling that he wanted a bit too much, and gritted his teeth: "Can lower it again."

Lu Lu Qiaoge hurriedly waved her hand: "Just follow this price, I will go back and report to our leader."

Thus, the confused Lu Qiaoling followed her second sister and sat on the horse cart of Guzitun, and was sent directly to the gate of the family compound by Brigade Leader Lin, who was driving the cart himself.

It's just that there are guards here too, Brigade Leader Lin was a bit nervous, made an appointment with Lu Lu Qiaoge, and left with the cart.

Thus, Lu Lu Qiaoge and Lu Lu Qiaoling carried a basket of green vegetables and went to the neighborhood office.

Taking them out one by one, they were placed on the office desk, fresh and tender.

Lu Lu Qiaoge briefly explained the price of the exchange.

Director Hu and the others didn't listen much. Their eyes were attracted by the green vegetables.

Ren Ren Xiaocui pressed a bundle of leeks and swallowed her saliva: "I want to eat leek boxes at noon today."

Old Lu Qiao looked at the fresh spinach and said: "I want to make spinach and egg soup for my son."

Huang Juan didn't move, just looked at Lu Lu Qiaoge with a smile.

Didn't expect this girl to be so thunderous and fast.

Lu Lu Qiaoge also smiled and said to Director Hu: "I have already discussed it with Captain Jin of the transport team. If you have no problem here, Director Hu, we will go to pull vegetables tomorrow morning."

Director Hu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy.

No problem, definitely no problem.

However, Lu Lu Qiaoge has a big problem here.

That is to formulate the exchange form and paste it at the gate of the neighborhood office.

Then she can't go empty-handed tomorrow, she must give some daily necessities first, but this problem is not big, she can take it from home first.

Director Hu looked at the bundles of green vegetables and called Lu Lu Qiaoge who was about to leave: "These vegetables..."

Lu Lu Qiaoge smiled: "This is the sample given to our neighborhood office by Brigade Leader Lin, Director Hu, you can handle it."

After saying this, Lu Lu Qiaoge and her sister went home empty-handed.

Lu Lu Qiaoling understood her second sister's operation, even if she didn't bring back a vegetable leaf, she was particularly looking forward to tomorrow.

However, Second Sister said that it must be kept secret before it is done.

So she prepared to say nothing after entering the courtyard.

But didn't expect Old Lu to return home at noon again.

He looked very happy on his face.

Meng Xia looked at her third daughter and said with a smile: "Lu Qiao Ling, your Aunt Jiang introduced you to a partner, you should know him."

Lu Lu Qiaoling's face flushed.

She pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't even have the face to ask who it was.

Lu Lu Qiaoge asked: "Who is the introduction?"

Meng Xia: "It's Zhao Zhao Jin Bao, the son of Section Chief Zhao of the Propaganda Department, who is a bookkeeper in the Labor and Capital Section."

The time and place have been agreed, at the Chunfeng State-run Hotel tonight.

It is the best hotel in the north of the city, and it is not far from the Lu family.

Lu Lu Qiaoge asked curiously: "Is it Zhao Zhao Jin Bao who has four older sisters at home?" Then she looked at Lu Lu Qiaoling: "Can you remember who he is?"

Lu Lu Qiaoling bit her lip: "I can remember."

Lu Lu Qiaoge nodded.

This family condition is really good.

Meng Xia calmed down, but was a bit worried: "Our Lu Qiao Ling just returned to the city, not to mention work, even her household registration is still in the countryside. How did the Zhao family agree? Their family condition is much better than ours."

She suddenly remembered that the Liang family looked down on their family and dragged on not getting married?

You know, when the doll marriage was set, Old Lu and Old Liang were both workers.

Old Lu took a sip of water, looked at his children, and said seriously: "Is our family bad? It's not bad. Only people with strong vanity feel that way.

I am a labor model every year, and I was once a national labor model. Our family is clean and white, my father was an old guerrilla, and your second aunt was a martyr. And the problem of work is not difficult,
