Chapter 226: The stride was too big

How could Lu Qiao not make preparations?

Grain would arrive soon, and the food factory could expand production, so naturally, workers had to be recruited.

She didn't intend to interfere with this.

Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang knew in their hearts how to recruit workers and what kind of workers to recruit.

Lu Qiao brought the notebook and began to report her thoughts to the two leaders.

The desks, chairs, benches, and houses of the night school had all been repaired by the volunteers.

It was at the level where classes could be started as soon as the door was opened.

Enrollment was also not a problem; the main thing was teachers.

But because it was a night school, it was the kind where classes were taught at night.

Lu Qiao said to Old Hu: "... As long as the other party's qualifications are up to standard, we will hire them, treating them as civilian-run teachers. If they perform well, we are responsible for converting them into public-run teachers. As for the salary, our Neighborhood Office is responsible."

Old Hu frowned; taking money out was heartbreaking.

The key was that the Neighborhood Office didn't have much money either.

Lu Qiao said: "We have a food factory; the salaries of a few teachers should be affordable. Actually, in the countryside, civilian-run teachers have no salary, except for a little subsidy, other things are replaced by materials. But our grain is more important than money. I think it's better to use money."

"But now the higher-ups aren't allocating money, and it's hard for us at the grassroots level to do it just by relying on ourselves," Old Hu said in a dilemma.

"If there's really no money, go invite retired old teachers and let them continue to shine and heat. I feel they will definitely agree."

Huang Juan said: "This is better than the previous one. Our family compound has quite a few retired old teachers, and even teachers who have to stay at home. Just from what I know, there are dozens of them..."

Lu Qiao was just waiting for this proposal from them.

These old teachers were all treasures.

With them in the night school, wouldn't the students' level improve by leaps and bounds?

"Yes, it can be similar to the food factory's method. In the early stage, it's voluntary contribution, with no salary and no subsidy," Lu Qiao said, looking at the two directors.

They both liked this method.

Actually, don't underestimate the dedication spirit of the older generation; they really could go without a single cent.

Deputy Director Huang said: "We can't be too excessive; there must be subsidies."

The night school problem was quickly solved.

Next was the recruitment for the food factory. Lu Qiao said: "I won't make suggestions about the recruitment. What I want to say is, should the manual group be separated and a small factory be established independently?"

Another factory to be established?

Huang Juan and Old Hu looked at each other.

They really wanted to say, was this stride too big?

Old Hu asked: "A craft factory for weaving melon seed baskets?"

Lu Qiao smiled brightly: "That's right, it's a craft factory. It's not just weaving melon seed baskets; other crafts can be developed. They are all under the jurisdiction of the Neighborhood Office, and then still belong to the food factory. Just give them the warehouse to use as a factory area, and building a wall is also good to separate it from the food factory area."

As for the future, there was no rush for that.

The current situation could only be taken one step at a time. Even if she was stirring up trouble, what was meant to come would still come.

Besides, the food factory could be made big. The craft factory wasn't very easy to do, but it would be no problem within ten years.

There were seven people in the manual group now. Actually, their busyness was no less than the few people in the food factory,

and now it was still the main money-making part of the factory.

There was always a feeling of being ignored.

That's why Lu Qiao decided to establish a small factory independently.

Anyway, in this period, five or more people could be called a factory.

"You come to be the acting factory director for this, as for the deputy factory director..."

"It's fine, just use Chang An first. He can already speak intermittently now, and handicrafts can't be taught by talking; it mainly relies on practical exercises. And even if we recruit workers, we have to recruit those with a foundation."

"If Chang An is really Old Lin's biological son, if he leaves, we can just promote Little Yu."

It seemed that such an arrangement was also quite good.

"The Foreign Trade Bureau occasionally still has orders. We have a cooperative relationship with the handicrafts that Sister Su is responsible for in the district, mainly to develop our own characteristics. For example, the raw materials for melon seed baskets are our characteristics. I am just preparing to report to the leaders.

During the trade fair, I asked Secretary You. Hong Kong is very fond of melon seed baskets. Most people will buy one or two. Now the first batch of melon seed baskets has been sold out."

Old Hu and Old Huang beamed with joy upon hearing this.

"Then can the second batch be completed on time?"

Lu Qiao nodded: "It should be no problem."

Next was the instant noodle problem.

Lu Qiao said: "There is no rush for this. First, there is no factory building, the equipment is still in transit, and the technology of instant noodles still needs to be researched and learned."

Huang Juan asked hurriedly: "Do you have a plan in your heart?"

Lu Qiao said: "Yes, this is my plan. The two leaders, please listen."

Thus, Lu Qiao focused on talking about instant noodles.

Noodle cakes, oil packets, seasoning packets. Now beef is hard to find, so temporarily develop two flavors: chicken stewed with mushroom noodles and braised pork rib noodles.

Hearing these two flavors of noodles, Old Hu and Old Huang both swallowed their saliva.

No, why were they getting more confused the more they listened?

Mushrooms were easy to say; they were available now, and they were everywhere on the mountain.

But chicken and pork ribs, if these were put in, it would definitely be delicious, but who could afford it?

Lu Qiao patiently explained to them, and the two finally understood.

Taste, it was the taste that was sold, but it also had to be boiled with real materials.

Being said by Lu Qiao like this, it seemed to have been straightened out.

The three people talked for a while longer, and Lu Qiao returned to the office to organize these into written form and handed them to Old Hu.

Old Hu read it once and gave it to Huang Juan to read. After Huang Juan finished reading, she said: "Just follow what Lu Lu Qiaoge said. I will go with Lu Lu Qiaoge to see Yaya."

Old Hu hurriedly rode his bicycle toward the factory headquarters.

Huang Juan and Lu Qiao went to the finance department, withdrew a sum of money, and then went to the department store to buy canned chicken cake and a box of malted milk extract, spending twenty yuan all at once.

On the way, Huang Juan said to Lu Qiao: "You need to take remedial classes for night school, but there is a study training class for cadres in the province in October. Both Old Hu and I recommended you, and the higher-ups also expressed agreement. Now the problem is that you need to reach the junior high school graduation level within a month. What do you think? If it's too difficult, we can go next year."

Lu Qiao said: "No problem, I have a foundation, it's still possible to give it a try."

Huang Juan smiled; as long as there was confidence, it would be fine.

Zhang Zhuliang had completely calmed down, and Yaya was much better than when she was seen the day before yesterday.

Seeing Lu Qiao, she still softly called her Sister Lu Lu Qiaoge.

Huang Juan and Li Cuibo said that they had already applied for medical subsidies for the child according to regulations.

There was also a three-month subsidy, ten yuan per month.

Zhang Zhuliang and Li Cuibo never thought that the subsidy could be applied for.

For a moment, they were choked up and didn't know what to say.

Coming out of the Zhang family, Grandma Sun was waiting at the door and asked Lu Qiao: "Did you find it?"

Lu Qiao shook her head: "No, the Security Section is investigating."

Grandma Sun clenched her hands, feeling very uneasy in her heart.

Yesterday, her eldest daughter-in-law came back and secretly told her that on the day Yaya had the accident, the big black dog's mouth still had blood on it. She didn't pay attention, thinking it had eaten a mouse, but looking at it now, she was afraid it wasn't that simple. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
