Chapter 723: Visiting Liang Ladi

Hongshankou Machinery Repair Factory

Liang Ladi was burying her head in washing clothes in the courtyard.

The dirty clothes of four children were piled into two large basins.

It wasn't that she was lazy; it was just truly difficult.

A woman raising four children alone.

She usually had to work and could only rest on Sundays.

She was different from Qin Huairu.

She was diligent, eager to learn, and hardworking.

Not only did she become a Level 5 welder, but she had also been awarded the "March 8th Red Banner Holder."

And it was precisely because of her hard work that by the time she got off work, she was so tired that even lifting her arms was a struggle.

How could she be like Qin Huairu, squatting by the water pool washing clothes all day long?

"Master Liang, someone is looking for you!"

"Who is it?"

A young female worker said with a smile, "They said it's your fellow townsman named Cao Weiguo."

"Cao Weiguo!"

Hearing this name, Liang Ladi was stunned for a moment.

"Got it! Thank you, Afang!"

The young female worker asked somewhat shyly:

"Master Liang! Is your fellow townsman married?"

Liang Ladi laughed, "Why? Do you have your eye on him?"

The young female worker nodded shyly:

"He looks upright, dresses cleanly, and seems quite good."

Liang Ladi laughed, "I haven't been back to the village much, so I'm not sure if he's married or not, but I can ask for you."

The young female worker said happily, "Thank you, Master Liang!"

Liang Ladi put down the clothes in her hands, stood up, and walked toward the main gate.

By the time she reached the gate, Cao Weiguo was already surrounded by several women.

These women were bold and gossipy, surrounding him and asking all sorts of questions.

What's your name?

How old are you?

Where is your home?

What kind of work do you do?

Are you married?

It wasn't that these women were warm-hearted.

It was just that Cao Weiguo's external image was quite good.

Not to mention being dashing, he was also handsome and imposing.

He wore a woolen coat and leather shoes on his feet.

He wore a watch and pushed a bicycle.

Hanging from the handlebars were two large carp.

He already fit the definition of a "tall, rich, and handsome" man of this era.

"What are you doing!"

"Don't you have work at home?"

"Look at how you've scared my younger brother!"

Liang Ladi was famous in the factory for being sharp-tongued.

A "tough character" who even dared to enter the men's restroom.

With her arrival and shouting, the group of women hurriedly scattered.

"Master Liang! Is this your brother!"

"He looks so good! Is he married yet?"

"My younger sister just graduated from school and is looking for a partner."

"Ladi, you know my daughter; she's so pretty, she'd be a perfect match for your brother."

Liang Ladi pushed aside the women blocking the way:

"We can talk about this another time; I'm taking my brother home first."

Liang Ladi waved at Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle and followed her away.

On the way, Liang Ladi asked curiously:

"Comrade Weiguo, why are you here?"

Cao Weiguo laughed, "I came to ask Sister Liang for help."

Liang Ladi asked in surprise, "What can I, a worker, help you with?"

Cao Weiguo said, "Sister Liang, didn't you say your maiden home is in Liang Family Village?"

"I want to go to Liang Family Village to purchase some chickens, ducks, and grain, and I wanted you to help lead the way."

"And while you're at it, put in a good word for me with your village chief so the villagers will support my work."

Last time on the way back, Cao Weiguo had chatted with Liang Ladi about work.

Liang Ladi knew Cao Weiguo worked in procurement.

Hearing Cao Weiguo say this, Liang Ladi didn't suspect anything.

She simply thought Cao Weiguo had come to ask her for help.

Although she had never done procurement work,

She knew that no matter what you do, it's easier to get things done through acquaintances.

Cao Weiguo wanting to go to Liang Family Village to purchase supplies,

And finding her, an "acquaintance," to lead the way was normal.

"Since it's my first time here, I didn't know what Sister Liang likes."

"I just happened to catch two fish this morning."

"Sister Liang, take these to make soup."

Liang Ladi took the fish with a smile, "You little comrade really know how to handle things."

"For the sake of you helping me last time, I'll help you out too."

"When are you going to Liang Family Village? I'll take you there."

"Let me tell you, you found the right person; the village chief is my cousin."

Cao Weiguo said happily, "That's great! How about tomorrow?"

Liang Ladi thought for a moment, "Fine, I'll ask for leave tomorrow; you come here to find me."

"Fish!"

"What a big fish!"

"Mom! Are we eating fish today?"

"We're eating fish!"

The two were talking as they arrived at the staff dormitory.

The four children's eyes lit up when they saw the fish in Liang Ladi's hands.

Ding Qiunan, who was holding a child, looked at Cao Weiguo with some curiosity.

Liang Ladi glared at the noisy children:

"What are you shouting about? You have no manners at all!"

"This fish was a gift from your Uncle Cao."

"Hurry up and greet him!" ===== CHAPTER 725 =====
