Chapter 454

~8 min read 1,570 words

President Zhu urged a few more words and simply didn't go home. He sat in the office waiting for the county to call him.

He also had superiors with whom he had a good relationship, but he was afraid of the unexpected.

If this matter didn't succeed, wouldn't he be teasing the leaders and letting them have empty joy?

So, just wait obediently.

When they returned to the family courtyard, it was just time to go to work.

Shao Fu felt it was very magical.

A branch factory, such a big thing, was opened just like that?

It was clearly very difficult, but it felt very easy for Lu Qiaoge.

Shao Fu had seen it.

Having seen it, his feelings in his heart were also different. This girl dared to think and act, and was full of vigor. Among her peers, she was truly worthy of being an outstanding person.

Thinking of the daughter-in-law at home who gave him a headache, he still sighed and said: "No matter what, she is Little Douzi's biological mother, and the two children cannot leave her. Try to yield to her..."

He paused, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Yonggang, this is the first time you are spending the New Year with us. Let's all be well, okay?"

Shao Yonggang knew what being well meant.

He didn't resist and nodded.

But he still said to Shao Fu: "Dad, after the New Year, I will go to night school to make up for lessons."

Shao Fu was so happy that his eyes turned red.

He had long asked him to go, but he wouldn't go, and as parents, it wasn't good to force him.

Today he actually requested it like this; it seemed he had thought it through.

Shao Fu felt that this trip today was not in vain.

And at this time, Qin Heng had already parked the car at the intersection next to the neighborhood office. The two whispered intimately in the car for a while and held hands for a while before separating reluctantly.

Lu Qiaoge got out of the car with a smile.

Qin Heng also curled his lips slightly and drove toward the factory area.

Lu Qiaoge reported to Old Hu. Because it had been agreed upon long ago, Old Hu trusted Lu Qiaoge and gave her great freedom. As long as she felt it was feasible, he would fully support it.

Today Lu Qiaoge had seen the finished products, which met the export standards, and Old Hu was also very happy. This meant that there was another increase in income.

Moreover, Lu Qiaoge also said so.

They had only grabbed the first opportunity in the craft sector. When there were more in the future, there would be competition. After all, this thing was different from fast-food consumables like instant noodles.

Therefore, take advantage of these few years to make money quickly. When there is more capital accumulated in the future, they can transform to do other things.

Regarding what Lu Qiaoge said, Old Hu felt it made a lot of sense, and he said the same when reporting to the factory director.

Naturally, it was all approved.

So Old Hu called the Lanhe County seat, which managed Manshan Commune, directly.

The other party was very shocked, and after the shock was joy. This was a great good thing for them.

Therefore, Deputy County Magistrate Chen took his secretary and comrades from the Foreign Trade Bureau and hurried to Manshan Commune.

Then a group of people went to Wogouzi production team again.

Except for the ones Lu Qiaoge took away, the remaining corn husk crafts were carefully placed on the table at the team headquarters.

They went to see the former canteen of Wogouzi production team, and it had to be said, it was really quite spacious.

They also went to see Grandma Huang and thanked Grandma Huang for the opportunity she brought to the county and the commune.

As for Zhao Xiaoman, she was the deputy factory director named by Lu Qiaoge, so there was no need to say polite words.

After asking in detail, the other party also looked at the corn husk crafts and had to admit that things woven from ordinary corn husks could be called crafts.

This was good.

The thing the North lacked the least was corn husks.

Soldiers value speed. Don't wait for Lu Qiaoge to say anything about funding; they were just waiting to eat ready-made food. Deputy County Magistrate Chen approved old newspapers, tables, chairs, benches, blackboards, a few wooden shelves with cabinet doors, and broken bricks.

The old newspapers were for pasting walls, and the broken bricks were for paving the ground. Once this was done, the training class would brighten up.

In less than a day, the matter of the branch factory was settled.

In this era, it could be called military factory speed.

No, it should be called Lu Qiaoge speed.

The next day, Old Hu, Lu Qiaoge, and Fan Xiaoyu went to Manshan Commune again. Together with the people from the county, the three parties held a two-hour meeting and settled all matters concerning the branch factory.

Without Lu Qiaoge's urging, President Zhu immediately guaranteed to Old Hu and the others: "Don't worry, we will definitely control the recruitment. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will hold an on-site weaving competition. Suitable personnel, as long as there is no problem with their background and character, will be kept, and then the summary list will be reported to the general factory. The final decision will still be made by Director Hu and Young Factory Director Lu."

Old Hu said: "Fine, our principle is still better to have nothing than to have something inferior."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have experience. As long as the age is suitable and you like this industry, you can give them a learning opportunity. We are not only weaving in the factory, but also at home. At that time, the branch factory will do a good job of acceptance and control."

Only at this time did Zhao Xiaoman finally have a sense of reality.

When the meeting ended, Lu Qiaoge told Zhao Xiaoman: "I customized a wheelchair for Grandma Huang. It should be ready by the time the class starts. From today on, you are the deputy factory director of the branch factory. You will have the same treatment as other employees during the Spring Festival, including Grandma Huang, the consultant. But you have no experience, so after the fifth day of the first lunar month, come to our general factory for training and learning. It will last for a week, and we will arrange a dormitory and canteen for you..."

Zhao Xiaoman looked at Lu Qiaoge gratefully.

She wanted to say words of thanks, but felt that these words were too light.

She could only nod vigorously: "Factory Director, I will listen to you, I will definitely work hard!"

There were two more days until the New Year, and the New Year atmosphere in the entire military factory family courtyard suddenly became strong.

The New Year gifts had already been issued by the unit.

Now it was just every household going to the department store to buy some things they needed.

Naughty children were already setting off small firecrackers on the side of the road.

The grandpas and grandmas of the neighborhood committee wearing red armbands held large loudspeakers to promote: Safety first, safety first.

Children who liked beauty and loved to show off couldn't help but change into their new clothes now, which caused the adults to shout from behind: "Who told you to wear them now? Those are for the New Year. Hurry up and take them off for me."

Before the words fell, the children had already run far away.

The adults could only scold with a smile: "Just know how to show off!"

And this year, the non-staple food store had a lot of large radishes and Chinese cabbage, as well as frozen celery.

Families in the Northeast wrap dumplings on New Year's Eve, and generally don't use Chinese cabbage and sauerkraut to wrap dumplings.

They all use celery, but now it's freezing cold, and there is no vegetable basket project yet, so the department store has a batch of frozen celery.

After thawing, the taste of mixing it with pork is quite good.

There was a long queue at the counter.

The Lu family side was also the same.

The dust had been swept away, and the quilt covers and bed sheets had all been washed and were waiting to be changed tomorrow.

Because the factory was going to build family buildings after the Spring Festival, there was no need for the Lu family to use newspapers to paste the walls. Just sweep away the dust and paste festive and colorful New Year pictures.

Qin Heng wrote good calligraphy.

He wrote quite a few couplets at the Lu family.

Knowing that he could write couplets, the neighbor Old Lady Lin held the cut red paper and waited eagerly.

They had a good relationship on weekdays. Meng Xia had some thoughts in her heart, but it wasn't good to show them.

Qin Heng didn't mind. Lu Qiaoge was busy with him on the side. He was so happy that he wished he could write a few more.
