Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 124 Why did you choose me?

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge escorted Su Hongmei to the front gate.

When she returned, she saw Tao Tao waiting for her on a big tree by the bridge.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge approach, Tao Tao told Lu Qiaoge everything she had seen.

Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, "It seems that the Lin family has never given up the search."

Then Tao Tao continued, "When I arrived, Old Man Lin was lying in bed. His son wasn't there, and he was the only one in the room, so I went to the next room. The next room was so much fun!"

Lu Qiaoge became interested and asked, "How is it fun?"

The chairman from the port city berated his son for being unambitious and unfit to be his successor, and then his son said: Why did you choose me? Why did you choose me? Why did you choose me...?

Lu Qiaoge asked in surprise, "Just this one sentence?"

[He kept repeating "uh-huh" many times, then his father slapped him, and he stopped talking, but ran to the next room.]

I overheard the chairman muttering to himself, "Why did I choose you? I don't know why I chose you either."

Seeing that he wasn't saying anything, I ran next door to the chairman's son...

Goodness, you've made such a fuss about it?
Lu Qiaoge interrupted Tao Tao: "His name is Zhen Xi."

Tao Tao was overjoyed.

Before, I could only tell my wife about what I saw, but now it's great that I can tell so many friends.

[That man named Zhen Xi has such a violent temper. He smashed teacups and flowerpots on the windowsill, shouting as he did so: "What else could it be? It's all for your eldest son! You made me the heir to motivate and train him. I'm a concubine's son, how could I be worthy of being the heir? I'm nothing but a whetstone for your eldest son!"]

After he had finished throwing things, he took his medicine, though I don't know what kind. Anyway, after a short while, he calmed down and gently told the waiter that he had accidentally broken the teacup and flowerpot and that he would compensate the hotel.

Lu Qiaoge's eyes flickered.

It seems that their relationship isn't as loving and filial as it appears.

Actually, she didn't understand either.

Chairman Zhen is in good health. Qin Hengzhi said that his eldest son is also very outstanding, even more outstanding than Zhen Xi. Because Zhen Xi was born to Chairman Zhen's most beloved third wife, he publicly announced last year that Zhen Xi would be his successor.

It is said that when this news came out, the port city was like an earthquake.

But Zhen Xi, who is so irritable, still needs medication to control his emotions. Can he be the heir?
Could it really be a whetstone?
Or is the chairman's position comparable to the throne, requiring such scheming and treacherous plots?
Lu Qiaoge asked, "And then?"

Tao Tao said: "Then I flew to Old Man Lin's room. I squatted on the windowsill, and he saw me. He even deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke."

Lu Qiaoge said to Tao Tao, "Thank you for your hard work, Tao Tao. Go have fun now. I need to go to the food factory first."

Lu Qiaoge rode her bicycle to the food factory, where Meng Qingshan and his men were tidying up straw hats.

No price was discussed, but for these people, every penny counts.

Everyone is so excited.

Some people praised Chang An for his skillful hands, saying that Chang An taught everyone how to weave straw hats.

Chang An couldn't speak, he just smiled憨憨地.

The people here are all nice, and they're all from the city, yet no one looks down on him.

People working in military factories are really good.

He really likes this place.

After Lu Qiaoge returned, Du Shuang and the others surrounded her and asked Su Hongmei when she would come to pick up the straw hat.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Comrade Su and I have arranged to come on Monday because it's inconvenient for the inspection team to come and offer their condolences tomorrow morning. We also have to undergo a hygiene inspection in the afternoon. You all have health certificates. Next, it's about whether our factory's hygiene meets the standards."

Hu Ze said with a smile, "You can check it again. I've been to the food factories in the city. Apart from our rudimentary conditions, we're no worse than them in other aspects."

Lu Qiaoge looked around and saw that the white coats were all ready, waiting for the people to arrive tomorrow so she could put them on.

Health certificates are posted on the office walls. The office is very clean, and the walls are covered with old newspapers.

There are three flat pans and two iron pans in the workshop, which are used to make cornbread and shortbread.

The ground was paved with broken bricks and stones, the walls were painted white, but the window frames weren't painted, since paint is hard to get these days. But everything was wiped clean, and window screens were installed to keep flies out.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qiaoge couldn't help but think of that little Cangcang.

I haven't seen it for several days.

Then Lu Qiaoge remembered the wheelchair she made for Zhang Quan. She had to go to the scrap yard to check, and she didn't know if Wei Qiang would remember it.

She's such a busy mediator!

At this moment, Chang An came to Lu Qiaoge with an object that looked like a bicycle basket.

Even without Zhou Li saying anything, Lu Qiaoge knew that this was a bicycle basket made for her.

It is woven from willow branches and reeds.

Lu Qiaoge immediately asked Chang An to install the basket on her bicycle.

Installation is also very simple; just secure it with thin hemp rope.

As long as you don't put anything particularly heavy on it, it should last at least two or three years.

Lu Qiaoge was very satisfied.

She said with a smile, "Brother Chang, if you teach everyone, we might have people coming to our service station's craft team to place custom orders in a few days."

Lu Qiaoge was very satisfied with these people. Before leaving, she specifically instructed them: "Some members of the inspection team may come to take a look tomorrow morning. After all, we are the only factory in Xiangyang Subdistrict, so you all need to be on duty tomorrow."

She glanced at Zhou Li again.

Zhou Li quickly said, "Aunt Li takes care of my child. I give her five yuan a month. Xiao Hei can also help. My son is very well-behaved."

Chang An, on the other side, was all smiles and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Yes, yes, his son is very well-behaved.

Even old black cats can understand human nature.

Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, if he really is Old Lin's son, then all the suffering has finally come to an end.

Lu Qiaoge couldn't stay long, so she ran back to the subdistrict office to report on her work.

It's about Su Hongmei.

Huang Juan was delighted: "In addition to making cardboard boxes, our subdistrict office can open a weaving group to increase everyone's income."

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Sister Su didn't mention the price, but I think it should be reasonable."

Shao Le, who had just returned, went up to Lu Qiaoge and, sure enough, heard something new.

He said, "If the foreign trade department takes a liking to me, can I exchange it for foreign currency?"

Old Hu's eyes lit up. Although they were a military factory with state support, it wouldn't be a bad thing if they could exchange it for foreign currency.

Then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem that easy.

Why were the factories under the jurisdiction of the subdistrict office dissolved?
It's all because it overlapped with enterprises run by the nearby district government. The higher-ups felt that 516 shouldn't compete with the local government for this area, as it could easily affect unity. So the pickled vegetable factory run by the street office went out of business, and the coal briquette factory was transferred to the local fuel company.

He said, "Qiao Ge, you should focus on the hand-knitting business at the service station. Let's draft some regulations, specifying how much to hand over to the street office after the sales, and how much they will get."

Lu Qiaoge deeply agreed with this.

Buying and selling are not allowed now, and even such acquisitions must be conducted primarily by work units.

If not handled properly, it could easily lead to big problems.
