Chapter 476: Are you in a hurry to get married?

By the time Lu Qiao returned from her business trip to Beidu and Haicheng, the willow trees in Jiangcheng had sprouted buds, and the withered wild grass was stained with green.

And at this time, demolition had also begun.

Before Lu Qiao returned, Qin Hengzhi had already helped move things to the technical school.

It's just that Lu Qiao wasn't home, so no one dared to move her room for the time being.

They had to wait for Lu Qiao to return to tidy it up.

Lu Qiao returned a week later than expected.

Because a section of the railway collapsed, they took a detour, and then returned to Jiangcheng.

Going with Lu Qiao were Director Hu, as well as Meng Qingshan from the Food Factory and ten technical backbones.

Overall, it was still very smooth.

This was a branch factory that the higher-ups specifically named to be built. Even if many people looked down on Jiangcheng, no one dared to talk nonsense.

Of course, there were also quite a few people watching the joke.

Especially those masters, workers, and some managers of the Beidu First Food Factory who were named but didn't want to go to the branch factory.

When they started work, they didn't expect to be so valued; the machines were all transported by the local garrison using large trucks.

And then important leaders from above also attended.

Two leaders from the Foreign Trade Bureau also came.

Some people regretted it.

But now the people had already been recruited.

After all, this wasn't the 1950s when everything was waiting to be rebuilt; it was already the 1970s.

The population had increased greatly, and there were truly too many unemployed youths, especially the educated youths returning to the city.

So using people now wasn't tense at all.

They were all selected based on merit, and the ones chosen were all the best, and these people learned quickly too.

Five technical backbones were left in Beidu to provide guidance, and the other five remained in Haicheng.

Lu Qiao toured the small bedroom.

All the good things were put in the space by her, so the things in the bedroom were not important.

Qin Hengzhi stood at the doorway waiting to move things.

This time he didn't mention the house anymore, but he always talked about Little Maiya intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Qiao looked at Qin Hengzhi, put down the book in her hand, and said seriously: "Are you in a hurry to get married?"

Qin Hengzhi thought in his heart, in a hurry, how could he not be in a hurry?

He said it like this: "Even if we get married, it won't be much different from now. Yes, it won't have the slightest impact on the things you do and your work; the only difference is that you will have one more home."

After a pause, he said in a gentle voice: "Of course, everything is based on you."

Before meeting Lu Qiao, he hadn't even thought about dating, so he really didn't force it; as long as Qiao was happy, it was fine.

Besides, everyone was busy now.

Lu Qiao deliberated and said: "Then let's get married this year, around September, how about it?"

Qin Hengzhi's eyes lit up instantly.

At this very moment, it was as if the starlight of the whole sky had fallen into his eyes.

He stepped forward, his voice filled with suppressed excitement: "Qiao, do you really agree to marry me?"

Lu Qiao smiled and nodded at him.

Dating for such a long time without aiming for marriage, then she would be playing the hooligan.

At this time, the households in this area had basically moved to the technical school.

The Lu family was assigned three dormitories.

The area was also quite large.

Because it was a temporary residence, as long as the house was livable, no one was picky, and every family moved away full of joy.

In a few days, the factory would announce the layout and house types of this area, and then a staff meeting would be held. By then, they would subscribe on-site, and anyway, they would seek the workers' opinions in the end. If the workers agreed, they would follow the agreed plan; if the workers didn't agree, they would put the disagreed ones together and handle them separately.

After all, this was the military factory's family courtyard.

Paying half the money themselves to be assigned a house, it was estimated that nine out of ten people would agree.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved so readily.

It was already sunset at this time.

Because everyone had basically moved away, everything was very quiet.

However, the Lu family was not quiet.

On the red date tree in the courtyard, there were three sparrows, one pigeon, and a little squirrel hiding.

The tabby cat was also lazily squatting on a thick branch.

One didn't need to look to know that these little animals were staring at him.

That's right, they were staring at him.

Qin Hengzhi felt it very accurately.

But he still reached out and held Lu Qiao's hand, his gaze as gentle as water, and his voice was the same: "Good!"

Qin Hengzhi was extremely happy.

He just came to help his partner move, and could have such an unexpected harvest.

He happily picked up Lu Qiao's luggage and walked out. Those who knew thought he was moving to the technical school, but those who didn't know thought he was moving to a new house.

The living conditions at the technical school were still relatively tense; they assigned a large dormitory to the Lu family, and Qin Hengzhi helped make three partitions.

Then the old lady and the two granddaughters lived together.

Grandma Lu looked at Lu Qiao and said with some worry: "Qiao, my sleep is different from yours; I wake up early in the morning and go to sleep late at night. Will it affect your work?"

Lu Qiao asked in surprise: "How can it affect my work? This is at home."

Grandma Lu: "Don't you need to work overtime at night to write things?"

"No, working overtime is also at the unit, not at home. Home is a place to rest."

Grandma Lu thought for a moment, it seemed so.

Qiao seemed to rarely be busy with unit matters at home.

The dormitory had ready-made iron frame beds, all bunk beds. Grandma Lu lived on the lower bunk, and Lu Qiaoling climbed to the upper bunk as soon as she entered the room, saying happily: "I'll sleep on the upper bunk, I'll decorate it myself."

Oh my, sleeping on the upper bunk, she was truly too excited.

Then she lay on the upper bunk and said to Lu Qiao: "Second Sister, Second Sister, I'll tidy up for you. If you have things to do, you go be busy; I guarantee to tidy it up cleanly and neatly for you."

Lu Qiao smiled and agreed. She opened the bundle, took out the duck down mattress inside, and placed it on Grandma Lu's bed: "Grandma, this is yours, I'll take the other two to the next room."

This was bought in Haicheng, but there wasn't much stock, she only bought five, and she had casually put them in the space. With the temperature outside now, it was just right to use at this time.

Lu Qiao didn't go straight home after work, but went to the north of the city, mainly wanting to deal with the basement.

The house already belonged to the public, and this area had also been blocked off. It was in the same district as the Xiang Yang branch factory that had already started production. Now the households here had all moved away. During the day, there were still people coming to tidy up and pick up broken firewood, but when it got dark, there was basically no one here.

Lu Qiao entered the courtyard. This place had already been tidied up by Qin Hengzhi and her big brother, and that misleading sign had also been taken down. Inside and outside the house, everything was tidied up cleanly. There were regulations above that doors and windows were not allowed to be dismantled, and the red brick courtyard walls were not allowed to be dismantled. These, in the present day, were all resources that could be reused. Nowadays, funds were very tight; if it weren't for producing instant noodles, it would be impossible to invest in building a factory.

Therefore, what could be saved must be saved.

Lu Qiao came to the well, opened the door, entered the basement, and drew in the water from the freshwater lake in the space.

Very quickly, it was ten centimeters deep.

Lu Qiao looked at this depth and thought it should be about right. She went out of the basement, this time not closing it completely, but leaving a gap the thickness of a finger by the well.

In a while, the preparatory office personnel would start tidying up this area, and they would see the basement, which had water inside, but all traces had been washed away by the water. ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
