Chapter 807: Welfare cut in half
Little Cangcang, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, flew back at this time, landed on Lu Qiao's shoulder, and accompanied by the sound of the train clanging outside, reported the latest progress to Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao listened, her brows slightly furrowed, then waved her hand: "Forget it, don't go."
No need to think, nothing would definitely be talked out today.
Lu Qiao stroked Little Cangcang's head gently and took it back into the space.
The train headed north, unimpeded.
Outside the window, the night grew thicker, and the carriage was as warm as spring.
Soon, Jiangcheng arrived.
The main things transported by this special train were important materials. Outside the platform, outside the station, the trucks of the 516 Military Factory lined up in a long dragon, the headlights converging into a bright river of light.
The one who came to pick up the station was exactly Deputy Factory Director Kang.
He was much thinner than when he first came, and after shaking hands with Qin Hengzhi, he nodded to Lu Qiao, but he looked like he had something to say.
Lu Qiao waited for him to speak.
In the end, Deputy Factory Director Kang still didn't open his mouth, but went towards the place where the train was parked.
Lu Qiao felt that eight out of ten times he wanted to consult how to divorce Kong Fanrong.
It was said that the relationship between these two was getting worse and worse.
But this marriage was not so easy to divorce.
As long as Kong Fanrong didn't agree, in the case that she didn't commit a major mistake, the organization wouldn't force a divorce.
Besides, Kong Fanrong was not a fuel-efficient lamp either; if Kang Yuxing really made up his mind to divorce, she would dare to go above to report him.
At this very moment, the thousands of lights in Jiangcheng had already lit up gently in the cold winter night, waiting for their return.
It is said that dumplings for getting on the train and noodles for getting off the train; this was the custom in Jiangcheng.
Meng Xia's family had long moved into a new building.
At this time, Jiangcheng was in the coldest season, the north wind rolled fine snow particles against the window, but the room was warm; this winter's heating was burned well, and it was a bit hot to the touch.
"Little Four, go peel the garlic!" Meng Xia shouted in the kitchen.
"Little Four, go to the department store and buy another bottle of soy sauce!" Lu Qiaoling also shouted.
Meng Xia poked her head out: "There is soy sauce at home, what soy sauce to buy?"
"My second sister doesn't have it at home." Lu Qiaoling was righteous, "I thought about it the day before yesterday, but the factory has been working overtime for the past two days, and I didn't have time to send it over."
Lu Little Four stood in the middle of the hall, looked left and right, with an indescribable expression: "Then what should I do first?"
"Peel the garlic first, then go buy soy sauce after peeling the garlic." Lu Qiaoling arranged directly.
Little Four pouted, wanting to protest but not daring; the bloodline suppression from his sister was really not a joke.
Just as he was about to go out, Su Hui shouted: "Little Four, watch your little nephew for a while, don't let him run around, I'm going to knead the dough."
"Su Hui, I've already finished kneading the dough." Meng Xia said.
"Then I'll make the sauce." Su Hui said: "We have chives at home, let's make a chive and egg sauce, and then a shredded meat sauce..."
Meng Xia said: "Lu Lu Qiaoge and the others will be home after seven, let's eat first and not wait for them."
Grandma Lu raised her eyelids and glanced at Meng Xia: "They will be home after seven, can't wait a while? How long has it been since Lu Lu Qiaoge came back, how nice it is for the whole family to have a lively meal, why let the two children eat alone?"
Meng Xia sat on the chair and sighed: "Sigh, they are leaving in half a month, what are you tossing about?"
"Then how long do you want her to stay?" Lu Qiaoling took the conversation, "The Foreign Trade Bureau side, how hard it is to stand firm."
"Mom, don't worry, I've been at home!" Lu Qiaoling said again.
Meng Xia glared at her: "Do you think I like having you all at home? You come here to sponge off my food and drink, it's a huge nuisance. If none of you were here, just me, your grandma, and your dad, it would be so peaceful..."
This house was over eighty square meters, and the layout was bright.
Lu Qiao and Lu Qiaoling shared a room, Little Four had a room. Grandma lived in the sunny master bedroom, and the other room was for Lu Da and his wife.
Lu Zhiguo and Su Hui had their own house, fifty-something square meters, although not big, but enough to live in. Because it was not a proper housing allocation, half the money was paid by the residents themselves, so they could choose the floor.
Su Hui's child was small, so she chose the same unit as her parents-in-law, but not on the same floor.
Lu Da was on the second floor, Su Hui and the others were on the fourth floor.
This made visiting convenient, and taking care of each other convenient.
Su Hui brought out a basin of green chives from the kitchen, which were planted by her mother-in-law on the balcony, cut with scissors, ready to make chive and egg sauce.
Eating a mouthful of fresh chives in winter, the taste was so fresh that it could make eyebrows fall off, paired with hand-rolled noodles, it was simply a must.
Of course, there were several other dishes to stir-fry.
Stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork, potatoes with ribs, string beans with vermicelli, mixed cold dishes, spiced beef, smoked sausage, and a seaweed soup were also very good.
Lu Little Four sat on the sofa, stretched out a leg, circled his little nephew who was crawling around on the floor in the "safe range" he had drawn, and peeled garlic resignedly.
Anyway, peeling garlic, buying soy sauce, and watching the child, he couldn't hide from any of the three tasks, so he simply did two things together, and went to the department store directly after finishing.
The liveliness of the Lu family today was rare in this period.
Lu Da strolled to check his daughter's new house.
When Qin Hengzhi was at home, they didn't need to come over, but Lu Da still came to see every few days, for fear of missing something.
Checking around, daily necessities were basically complete, just missing a bottle of soy sauce.
There was some at home, just pour half a bottle over.
They couldn't eat a few meals themselves, buying too much was a waste.
Qin Hengzhi didn't cook himself; when Lu Qiao wasn't home, he ate at the military representative office canteen.
Lu Da strolled and sighed, children were always by his side, he felt annoyed, but once they left, he missed them.
Parents, mostly like this, right?
Meeting acquaintances on the road, seeing him in high spirits, only then did they know that Lu Qiao was back.
Old Hu had long known that Lu Qiao was coming back and called in advance. At this time, the lights in the large office of the street office were still on, Shao Le, Sister Qiao, Old Xie and others were all there, and Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang were also there.
It couldn't be called a meeting, just sitting together to chat and discuss things.
"This year's welfare of the Xiang Yang Food Factory was cut in half by the newly appointed Secretary Ye." Old Hu opened his mouth: "The secretary said that the country is in a difficult period, and we cannot just seek personal enjoyment, we must share weal and woe with the country. Leaving only half the welfare is already very remarkable. With too much welfare, wouldn't it be a loss to take it?"
With such a high tone, who dared to push back hard?
So this year's welfare was really cut in half with a snap.
"In the two years Lu Qiao was there, the welfare treatment got better year by year."
Old Hu sighed, "Lu Lu Qiaoge grew up under our noses, she will definitely hear about this when she comes back. If Secretary Ye doesn't take the initiative to find her, I guess Lu Lu Qiaoge might not necessarily care. I'm just worried that Secretary Ye will talk to her... because many people are dissatisfied with this, and some even say that the secretary is deliberately going against Lu Qiao."
"You have also seen Secretary Ye's work style." Old Hu paused: "He is really an honest person. His wife still doesn't have a formal job, his parents at home are in poor health, and medical expenses are a significant expense, but he has never used his power to give his parents free medical treatment or free medicine. He really doesn't take advantage of the public at all." *** **CHAPTER 808**
