Chapter 234: Won't turn back until hitting the south wall

Whether it was the Foreign Trade Bureau or the District Government, or even Lu Qiao of 516.

The three parties now had a common goal, so naturally there was no nonsense or scene talk.

The problem of the venue was easy to solve, raw materials didn't need to worry, and as for funds, a prepayment would arrive in a few days.

What was needed now was people.

And they couldn't be novices; they must be experienced old masters.

This required total mobilization from top to bottom.

Su Hongmei: "I have twenty-seven old masters here, who were from our Jiangcheng Craft Factory before. Because the factory couldn't pay wages, they merged with the shoe factory. They all brought apprentices before and all had experience in grass weaving. After I was responsible for this piece, I went to find them one by one. Most of them retired, but their skills were not lost. Because there was no special venue, it was handed over to the Neighborhood Committee to be responsible. The first batch of straw hats were all accepted as qualified."

Lu Qiao knew this. These people were craftsmen and were very capable.

Director Zhou nodded and said to Lu Qiao: "Looking at the current situation, old masters are not a problem, and there are ready-made factory buildings. Being able to concentrate them for unified management is also good for grasping quality. Our cooperation is actually very simple."

Lu Qiao was easy to talk to, and most of the orders were given to Director Zhou and Sister Su.

Also established a temporary group.

The office was in the small conference room of the Foreign Trade Section, until the task was completed on schedule and all payments were in place.

Lu Qiao was naturally also a group member.

But she was mainly responsible for her own stall.

After Lu Qiao went back, Old Hu went to run the recruitment and factory construction of the craft factory.

Temporarily, the manual group didn't move. The seven people cooperated very well, with a taste of an assembly line.

But expansion was certain.

This time, first prioritize the internal ones. The main requirement was to know grass weaving and be a skilled hand.

Old Hu asked for a quota of twenty people.

At first, many people went to the Lu family to ask Meng Xia, but after hearing that there was an on-site exam, they were all disappointed and left.

Age was not overly restricted. After all, there were very few young craftsmen.

Except for the apprentices of those old craftsmen.

The Neighborhood Office moved very quickly. Notification was given on the same day, and the on-site exam was held the next day.

There were thirty-nine qualified people.

Among them, twenty-six were under forty years old.

The older ones had very good skills, so they must be recruited. How to arrange it, Lu Qiao didn't care.

With the two directors of the Neighborhood Office there, Lu Qiao went to the Archives Bureau to help with peace of mind, mainly to find clues.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lu Qiao found materials about Red Star Lake. There was a wharf there before, which was similar to the initial guess.

Then there was the old gold mine, but this was not recorded.

Even the fact that Yuanbao Mountain had a gold mine was not recorded.

As for why it was called Yuanbao Mountain, it was because the mountain peak looked like a gold ingot.

Now it was late August.

Not only did Lu Qiao receive a full month's salary, but the workers in the food factory and craft factory also received their salaries.

They not only had wages but also bonuses, and each person was given an extra catty of meat coupons.

This was to encourage everyone to complete the task early.

Nowadays, the personnel of the craft factory were twice as many as the food factory.

Then the Comprehensive Office asked the Infrastructure Section to build a wall in the middle, didn't open a separate gate, and still walked the same big gate as the food factory. After all, there was a guard room here.

The initial period of each factory was the most united and best managed.

At this time, the thoughts were very simple, which was to work hard and not let the factory dissolve.

You have to know that many factories in the Neighborhood Office in the 1950s and 1960s dissolved.

After receiving the salary, Su Hui bought meat, eggs, and fish, and went home early to cook a table of dishes.

Originally wanted to call Qin Hengzhi, but he went to a meeting and wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow.

After eating, Lu Qiaoling took out a handkerchief and a plaid hair clip, which she bought for Lu Qiao.

Lu Qiao didn't be polite either and accepted it with a smile.

She had these, but the meaning of the one bought by her sister was different.

Lu Qiao said: "Someone asked me what kind of person you want to find, and is preparing to introduce a partner to you."

Lu Qiaoling shook her head immediately: "How old am I? It won't be too late for me to find a partner after you get married, Second Sister."

Then she asked Lu Qiao mysteriously: "Second Sister, when are you and Brother Qin getting married?"

It's like this now. Dating involves the issue of marriage.

Even Meng Xia said it was convenient for her to get married. The house was ready-made, and it was in the military representative family compound on the side of District 1.

It was two rows of red brick small buildings, the area was not small, the house had heating, and there were courtyards in front and back.

Lu Qiao had also been there to do investigations.

Lu Qiao had a strange feeling in her heart. She thought for a while: "Definitely can't get married this year, talk about it next year..."

Next year, actually, it was also not a good year for marriage.

Lu Qiaoling nodded. Second Sister's brain was very good now, and no matter what decision she made, it was right.

Remembering one thing, she said to Lu Qiao: "Second Sister, do you know that Fan Xiaoyu's mom and her sister-in-law went to the craft factory to find her yesterday afternoon?"

Lu Qiao frowned: "What are they looking for her for? Do they want to understand and want to take Fan Xiaoyu home?"

Lu Qiaoling nodded: "That's right, it's like this, and said a lot of apologetic words. But Fan Xiaoyu was very busy, and Director Hu happened to be there, so her mom said to let Fan Xiaoyu not rent a house outside, go home to live, and had already packed a room for her."

Now the manual group was also a famous existence in the military factory.

These people were all converted into formal workers.

Their wages also rose.

Just this point, I don't know how many people envied.

Naturally, Fan Xiaoyu now was the technician second only to Chang An, which many people knew.

If Chang An could be a factory director, then Fan Xiaoyu was at worst a deputy factory director.

So Fan Xiaoyu now was no longer the little pitiful person who was kicked out of the house and couldn't live well.

Lu Qiao asked: "What is Fan Xiaoyu's meaning?"

Lu Qiao rarely interfered with other people's thoughts. If you really felt that family members were good, it would be useless for an outsider to say anything.

It is said that you won't turn back until you hit the south wall, but some people won't be willing to turn back even if they hit their heads and bleed.

No one could do anything about this.

Lu Qiaoling said: "She is always with us, if she is still ignorant, then she is really hopeless."

"She told her mom that when she was sent to the countryside, they said she was a girl who lost money, and everything in the Fan family had nothing to do with her. She did housework since she was a child, and also went to the countryside for them. She didn't owe them, and she wouldn't go back to live, lest they ask her for rent and she couldn't afford it..."

"Fan Xiaoyu's sister-in-law scolded, fortunately Director Hu came and drove them away."

Lu Qiaoling was in Lu Qiao's bedroom at this time. She was lying on the kang stroking the cat and talking to Lu Qiao. When she said this, she lowered her voice and said softly: "Compared to Fan Xiaoyu's sister-in-law, our eldest sister-in-law is really very good."

Lu Qiao thought in her heart, that's because Meng Xia doesn't value boys over girls.

Lu Qiaoling continued: "She treats us as her own sisters, and I will also be good to her. After saving some more money, I will buy a bicycle, and then I will carry her to work."

Lu Qiao hurriedly stopped her.

The current bicycles were all 28-inch ones. Su Hui was not showing her pregnancy in the early months, but wait a few months and you will see... ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
