Chapter 52

Of course, these weren't urgent matters.

Even though Old Hu had read the proposal and was truly shocked by Lu Lu Qiao.

But there was no rush for this either.

It could be done slowly.

But when Old Hu learned that those stealing chickens and ducks were either educated youth or unemployed youth, he suddenly felt that establishing the service station was urgent.

Old Hu seriously studied Lu Lu Qiao's proposal with Old Huang.

Huang Juan said: "In principle, I agree. Besides, we've had this before; it was just disbanded later."

After this was decided, Director Hu said to Lu Lu Qiao: "The service station can be approved, but who will be the station master, or rather, who will take the lead?"

Lu Lu Qiao: "You will. Just hang your name on it. As for the specific affairs, since I suggested it, I'll be the first to sign up to volunteer at the service station, and that's on the premise that it doesn't affect my primary job. I guarantee to do a good job in all aspects of the voluntary convenience service station."

Director Hu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I'll call my son and ask him to come back to build his hometown?"

Lu Lu Qiao: "Tonight, I'll mobilize my sister to take the initiative to join the ranks of serving the people."

The old and the young exchanged a glance, then laughed out loud.

Although she had only been working at the Street Office for a few days, Lu Lu Qiao felt that Director Hu was no ordinary person.

Old Hu, who could come up with using dispute resolution as a test question, certainly wouldn't be stuck in his ways.

Three days later, the Xiang Yang Street Office Voluntary Convenience Service Station was established.

Hu Ze, who had traveled a long way, thought he would be stuck in the countryside for the rest of his life.

Lu Lu Qiaoling also successfully signed up.

Lu Lu Qiao took the initiative to find Zhou Li and asked for her opinion; Zhou Li agreed without any hesitation.

This service station was established silently, just like the good deed groups formed in schools.

Mainly because there was no salary, no establishment, and one had to volunteer from time to time.

But Lu Lu Qiaoling felt that with her sister's ability, she definitely wouldn't let the people at the service station go hungry.

Others didn't think so, but Lu Lu Qiaoling wouldn't take the initiative to tell others.

After all, this was an organization of the Street Office, and the main cadres still had to be supported.

Huang Juan signed up her sister's niece, Du Shuang, and Sister Lu Qiao sent over her brother-in-law, Zhou Zhou Qiming, who was unemployed at home.

Currently, there were five volunteers in total.

That's right, they even had work permits, with their unit, photo, and the position of "Volunteer."

It was surprisingly very formal.

The registration was done on official forms.

Director Hu was a bit worried; why did it feel like this service station wasn't that simple?

Was he, an old cadre, being too impulsive?

But there was no turning back now; there were already five volunteers.

Volunteers?

What kind of title was that? It was simply absurd.

And weren't there too few people?

Lu Lu Qiao said to Director Hu: "In the initial stage, it must be comrades with familiar character and good conduct who carry out the work to open up the situation, so five volunteers is not too few."

If they really recruited publicly, who knows, people might actually come to sign up.

Huang Juan felt the same way; keep it limited to the inside first. If it didn't work out, the impact wouldn't be too bad.

June 2, 1975, Monday, 8:30 AM.

The five members of the Convenience Service Station sat in the Street Office conference room with excitement, and Director Hu of the Street Office was presiding over the meeting.

The cadres of the Street Office, as long as they weren't busy, were basically all there.

Lu Lu Qiao looked out the window; she specifically chose today to establish the service station for Shen Yun's sake.

Three nights ago, the tabby cat, having eaten its fill and been washed clean, was lying comfortably on the bed with Lu Lu Qiao.

The military factory was under militarized management; even in the family quarters, one could hear the reveille and lights-out bugle from the Military Representative Office morning and night.

It was a bit far from the bungalows, but those with good hearing could still hear it.

But just as the lights-out bugle sounded, Lu Lu Qiao had to sit up.

Because the tabby cat had darted out and was playing a game of chase with the Zhao family's Mouse Da in the courtyard. After being scolded by Lu Lu Qiao, the trembling Mouse Da timidly said to Lu Lu Qiao: 【I... I came just to tell you, Shen Yun, that woman Cat Master told me to watch, she's going to take people to repatriate your sister back to the countryside in three days. Your sister is the first one to be repatriated. She said she wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and also said that if she could get Lu Lu Qiaoling back, she could send her back...】

Not all mice had the inner voice to communicate with Lu Lu Qiao.

But the two from the Zhao family were brothers, fatherless and motherless, but very smart. They knew how to avoid mousetraps, distinguish rat poison, and even knew how to escape from under cat claws.

They loved gossip and watching the fun.

Mouse Da took his younger brother out for a stroll to watch the fun, and it just so happened that he heard this plan of Shen Yun's.

This was a great opportunity to please Cat Master and the Little Fairy.

So Mouse Da brought Mouse Er to report the news.

Lu Lu Qiao didn't alert anyone and quietly gave a small handful of corn to these two mice.

After watching them eat their fill and leave, Lu Lu Qiao lay down to continue sleeping.

Then, Director Hu had wanted to establish the service station yesterday because his son had arrived home yesterday morning. He always felt guilty and hoped for an early and auspicious opening.

Lu Lu Qiao naturally disagreed and chose today, because today was a good day.

Mouse Da's news was very accurate. At 8:00 AM, Shen Yun, leading all the members of the temporarily established, large-scale repatriation team, came to the Lu family's gate in a grand manner.

Shen Yun's eyes were cold, but her face wore a smile. She said very gently and politely to Grandmother Lu, who opened the door: "Grandma Lu, we are the newly established repatriation team of the military factory. We mainly deal with educated youth who have no jobs and are staying in the city without returning. I'm really sorry, but Lu Lu Qiaoling falls into this category, so please call her out. We'll register first, and then have her pack her things immediately and come with us. We will arrange the repatriation route according to her destination."

After she finished speaking, Grandmother Lu didn't even lift an eyelid and just said to Shen Yun in a flat tone: "You girl are also interesting. Even if you're repatriating my Lu Qiaoling, it shouldn't be you coming. Haven't you heard the people in the compound talking about it?

Those who know say you're doing it for work; those who don't think you're settling a personal vendetta. But then again, my Lu Qiao has broken off the engagement with Liang Aishu, and they have no relationship with each other anymore, and it won't affect some people's... what's it called? Yes, yes, yes, called 'loving but not getting.' This step-by-step pressure is too much."

Shen Yun was ultimately not as thick-skinned as the old lady and couldn't keep her cool. She was red-faced and gritted her teeth: "Grandma Lu, I'm doing this for work."

Grandmother Lu smiled: "Good, good, good, you're doing it for work."

"Please call Lu Lu Qiaoling out; we need to register."

Grandmother Lu spread her hands: "Lu Qiaoling isn't home; she's at the Street Office for a meeting. You can go find her there."

Shen Yun frowned; what meeting was Lu Lu Qiaoling attending at the Street Office?

She turned back and said to Deputy Team Leader Dashuang beside her: "There are no educated youth staying behind nearby. Let's go to the Street Office first, find Lu Lu Qiaoling, and then we can just head north to repatriate the next one."

Shen Yun felt this was even better. Taking Lu Lu Qiaoling back in front of Lu Lu Qiao would be truly satisfying!
