Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 148 First Income Received

Qin Hengzhi stood frozen for a moment before his breathing calmed down, but his heart was still racing. His eyes were deeper than the night, yet he couldn't help but gently rub his fingers, which then fell to his waist, the spot where his lover had touched. Damn it, it was burning hot there.

A few breaths later, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Run!
The steady, powerful footsteps of the past sounded like they were stepping on a cloud today.

He drifted and drifted unconsciously past his jeep parked at the intersection.

By the time they realized what was happening, they had already run dozens of meters.

Qin Hengzhi stopped in his tracks, feeling quite annoyed.

It's so strange. At the ball, Qiao Ge's hand was on his shoulder and his hand was on her waist. Why didn't she feel this way then?

No, that's not right. His heart is racing and his ears are burning. Hmm, so he wanted to savor the moment in a secluded place.

Qin Hengzhi felt that he was being very ungentlemanly.

He quickly calmed down, ran back to the jeep, started the car, and drove into the night toward the military housing area assigned to him.

Lu Qiaoge originally thought Cao Lanzhu would be waiting for her at the entrance of the Foreign Trade Department.

But no one was there.

She came with Hu Ze, after all, there was still money for the craft group.

After receiving the money, Hu Ze had to hand it over to the finance office of the subdistrict office.

Unexpectedly, Cao Lanzhu did not arrive.

So she and Hu Ze went into the foreign trade department and found Xiao Zhu, who had gone to the military factory the day before. He first led Hu Ze to the other items management office to check the quantity, and then asked Hu Ze to check the number with the finance staff there. He then led Lu Qiaoge to the director's office.

When Director Zhou saw Lu Qiaoge, his face was full of smiles. He didn't know how much he would have suffered that night without Qiaoge's help.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, and inquiring about Lu Qiaoge's work situation, Xiao Zhu was surprised that Director Zhou valued Lu Qiaoge so much. She wondered who she was, but one thing was certain: although young, she was very capable at work.

Lu Qiaoge received 1,500 yuan after the signing was completed smoothly. Since Zhen Xi's contract with the roasted nut factory had already taken effect, if Zhen Xi breached the contract, she would have to pay a large sum of foreign exchange. No matter how you looked at it, she wouldn't lose out.

Lu Qiaoge put the money in her handbag and went to find Hu Ze to check the amount.

When I arrived, Hu Ze had just checked the quantity and confirmed that it was correct; the amount was 318 yuan.

Without delay, the two rode their bicycles back to the military factory.

They unexpectedly encountered Qin Hengzhi on the way.

Qin Hengzhi was about to go out when he happened to run into someone on the other side.

Qin Hengzhi and Hu Ze nodded, then asked Lu Qiaoge, "I'd like to take you somewhere this afternoon. What time are you available and where are you? I'd like to pick you up."

Her voice sounded calm, but only Lu Qiaoge could hear the tenderness within it.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and thought about today's arrangements. The blueprints for the melon seed basket had been handed over to the handicraft sideline group, and Chang An meant that they could definitely finish weaving it before noon.

She said, "I'm going to see Mr. Zhen Xi this afternoon." After a pause, Lu Qiaoge continued, "I plan to go with my colleagues and Sister Su to see Mr. Zhen at one o'clock this afternoon. I just informed Director Zhou, and he should have already notified Zhen Xi. Around four o'clock, he should have already returned to the military factory by then."

Then he added, "Please pick me up from the subdistrict office; I need to report to our director first."

Qin Hengzhi nodded and said softly, "Okay!"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Director Xu called yesterday, and Cao Lanzhu returned to Beidu this morning."

Lu Qiaoge: "No wonder I didn't see her; she's already gone."

Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiaoge with a half-smile, his tone full of regret...

He had no idea what kind of partner he had chosen.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then the large jeep, unlike the others, sped off towards the gate. Hu Ze watched the departing jeep with envy.

My dad told me that Qin Hengzhi assembled this car himself, and no Jeep can outrun it when it's going.

He asked Lu Qiaoge curiously, "What does it feel like to sit on it?"

Lu Qiaoge recalled that in this era, this car's performance should be number one.

"Very good, both steady and fast!"

As Hu Ze rode his bicycle, he wondered when he would be able to drive a Jeep.

Actually, what he really wanted to do was drive for a transport team, but there were no available positions, and you not only needed a driver's license but also to know how to repair cars.

Yes, this era is just that amazing.

Don't think that you can just drive away after being given a car; drivers at this stage are not that simple.

First, there is an opportunity to get in. You not only need to learn to drive, but also to learn how to repair cars. The reason for learning how to repair cars is that most domestically produced cars of this era are used beyond their service life, and it is common for them to break down on the road.

Moreover, there are no repair shops along the roadside, so almost every driver knows how to repair their car.

Hu Ze felt that touching the steering wheel was still too far away.

We haven't even gotten a foothold in this small piece of land yet.

Thinking this, he touched his bag again, still feeling uneasy.

There were over three hundred yuan in there.

Even though his father is the director of the neighborhood committee, he's never seen or touched so much money all at once. If it were lost, with his meager five-cent allowance, how could he possibly afford to pay for it back?
Seeing him constantly touching his bag, Lu Qiaoge said, "You're just trying to hide something. If there were a thief, you'd be the first one they'd target."

Hu Ze chuckled: "I've never seen so much money before."

Lu Qiaoge smiled as well, saying meaningfully, "This may just be the beginning."

Just get used to it.

We arrived at the subdistrict office quickly.

Today is payday, and there are so many people!

Lu Qiaoge didn't know how wages were paid in other places, and this was the first time she had seen it at a military factory.

The door to the finance office was open, and a desk blocked the entrance. Behind the desk sat the cashier, Sister Chu, and the bookkeeper, Xiao Liu.

In front of me is a long, rectangular payroll sheet with ten people on each page. The names are listed at the beginning, and the signatures or stamps are at the end.

There was no attempt to conceal it, because the emphasis was on serving the people, so the wage gap between cadres and workers was relatively small.

Therefore, leaders in this era do not earn much more than employees.

Take Lao Hu, for example. According to his administrative rank, and because he is a grassroots cadre, he only earns a little over sixty yuan a month, which is not as high as Lu Da's salary as a level seven worker.

Therefore, skilled workers are now more sought after than cadres.

At this moment, Xiaoliu was impatiently shouting, "Stop making noise and pushing, line up, line up! What kind of talk is this, making such a racket?"

Everyone was happy to get paid, and no one cared about Xiaoliu's scolding.

But actually everyone was in line, they were just chatting enthusiastically.

Lu Qiaoge didn't queue up, but just glanced at Xiao Liu. She had been working at the subdistrict office for a long time, and for some reason, the people in the finance office and she were all indifferent to each other.
