Chapter 57

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

No benefits but can have rewards?

Will dedication have rewards?

Is it the meaning I think?

But Lu Qiao didn't continue this topic, stopping at the point. These twelve people were not stupid, and she believed they could understand the meaning of her words.

Xiang Yang Night School was a bungalow located in the old housing area, which had been empty for seven or eight years.

It used to be a literacy class and later became a night school. When the factory was just established, the composition of workers was either retired soldiers or advanced elements who entered through recruitment, and their general cultural level was very low. They basically obtained elementary or junior high school diplomas here.

It was a pity to leave it like this.

When Lu Qiao was wandering around the courtyard with the tabby cat, she took a fancy to this place.

But she didn't expect it to collapse on the night of the rainstorm.

But it wasn't serious; it was just that one room on the west side collapsed.

Lu Qiao walked through it seriously and had to sigh that the house was built really well, not cutting corners at all, too sturdy.

As for the collapsed place, it was caused by the large tree next to the house being blown down by the wind and pressing on the roof.

The large tree had already been handled and was placed in the corner.

Lu Qiao didn't intend to ask for external aid. The newly established service station always had to make some achievements to make a name for itself.

Lu Qiao and Wang Dafeng, who was very experienced in construction, made records of the places that needed reinforcement, and then returned to the neighborhood office. While hoping for a bicycle, she reported the work to Director Hu: "The collapsed places have all been cleaned up, and the broken large tree has been lifted to the corner. The volunteers have already made three hundred mud bricks. The yellow mud and broken grass used were dug from the yellow mud pond on the north side of the night school. This is used to reinforce the night school wall. As for the tiles and bricks on the roof, we will use the broken bricks and tiles piled on the night school wall. In another week, we will basically be able to repair the roof and the wall."

Although Director Hu felt that repairing the roof of the night school that no one used now was a bit of a waste of manpower and material resources, he didn't want to see the houses in his jurisdiction collapse and not care. He was worried about what to do when he saw it at the time. Now it was good; Qiao had already organized manpower to start work. Although Bai Bai Xiaoze came home gray-faced these days, he didn't cry about hardship or tiredness, feeling that this kid was full of energy.

Old Hu believed that these volunteers were all like this.

He was touched. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't bear his son's fatigue; it was that these volunteers had no benefits, and such selfless dedication made his conscience feel bad.

"Qiao, don't be in a hurry. We must combine work and rest. No matter what, these people have no salary and no establishment, which means there is no work-related injury if they are injured, and no one will reimburse them if they are sick. We still have to pay attention."

Lu Qiao was just waiting for Old Hu to mention this.

However, she didn't immediately put forward her own ideas, but thought for a while before saying sincerely: "Director Hu, you are still the one who thinks comprehensively. We just have a drive to do a good job in the service station and not live up to the encouragement and support of the leaders, but we didn't think of this aspect. Your reminder is too timely."

Old Hu smiled and was very satisfied, but still praised Lu Qiao: "I heard from Bai Bai Xiaoze that you let the steady Meng Qingshan be the group leader, Wang Dafeng is similar to a technician, Zhou Li was a barefoot doctor in the countryside, you let her be responsible for the health and medicine of the service station, Hu Ze writes good fountain pen calligraphy, so he is responsible for recording your work content... Qiao, I really didn't expect that this service station, although small, has all the internal organs."

Lu Qiao was humble again, and then said: "Director Hu, I will consider the question you just raised when I go back. This service station must be done for a long time and cannot be a flash in the pan. But after all, everyone is contributing voluntarily. It is very normal to leave the service station after finding a job in the future. But as long as we persist, new volunteers will join in an endless stream. I will think about it carefully when I go home and report to you tomorrow morning."

Director Hu nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Qiao had plans in her heart, but she needed to report to Old Hu tomorrow. She couldn't be prominent in everything, especially since she was still a newcomer.

If it weren't for the Lu family's poor conditions and survival being imminent, she wouldn't be so anxious.

But Lu Qiao still had one thing to say to Old Hu: "Director Hu, the plan I mentioned to you a few days ago to organize our Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office to serve the people, have you reported it?"

Old Hu slapped the table: "Qiao, I was just about to tell you. Team Leader Lin of Guzitun called the neighborhood office and asked if we still need green vegetables. Not only did Guzitun send down another batch, but other villages also have a lot. Now they have added water radishes, asking if we can exchange them for some materials that the commune members urgently need."

Lu Qiao knew that Team Leader Lin couldn't just let it go, but she didn't expect that he waited for more than half a month to come.

What she didn't know was that Old Lin had wanted to come long ago. He drove the carriage to President Zhu's house that day and gave the rain boots Meng Xia gave him to President Zhu.

President Zhu accepted the rain boots, but gave his raincoat to Old Lin.

Old Zhu's rain boots had long leaked, and wearing them was the same as not wearing them. Although the raincoat was half-old, it could be used. Old Zhu also gave Old Lin a jar of tea leaves for him to use for hospitality.

After exchanging like this, everyone was happy.

Mainly because Old Zhu was a bit jealous looking at a carriage of things, and praised Old Lin, hoping he would make persistent efforts.

You have to know that the military factory is the largest factory in Jiangcheng, and it is directly under the state. Now that they have taken a fancy to their green vegetables, let alone exchanging things, even if they give the worthless green vegetables to the military factory for free, they are willing.

Because this factory protects the people and builds national defense.

Therefore, everyone was waiting for Lu Qiao to go again.

But Lu Qiao was too busy.

Having no choice, Old Lin called Old Hu.

Old Hu said: "I will go to apply for the fair immediately."

This can be organized by the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office, as long as the leaders above agree.

Nowadays, the neighborhood office is still the neighborhood office of the military factory. In principle, it should belong to the government's dispatched agency, but in recent years, it has been directly taken over by the military factory's leadership team.

Old Hu's superior is the Comprehensive Division of the Factory Office.

Lu Qiao said: "Director Hu, let's make two preparations. If internal material trading fairs are not allowed, we will hold another green vegetable exchange for materials. This time, we don't need to borrow cars from the transport team; just let the team leader bring the carriage."

Old Hu glanced at Lu Qiao, remembering that Team Leader Jin also secretly asked him when he would go to exchange for some green vegetables again.

Just then, Shao Le's voice came from the corridor: "It's okay, it's okay, no need to go to the hospital. I'll just apply some medicine myself."

Huh, what happened?

Lu Qiao picked up her diary, put it into her satchel, and stood at the door looking over.

She saw Shao Le walking in from the outside, covering his face and grinning. Seeing Lu Qiao, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Lu, you are in the unit. That's too good."

When he let go of his hand, Lu Qiao saw two bloodstains scratched on Shao Le's right cheek...
