Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 164 An unexpected surprise
Lu Qiaoge smiled.

Would you call this a case of telepathy and perfect understanding?
Does he know she's asking him this question because she wants to find out about someone?
"Could you help me find out about a doctor named Sun Ziliang? He might not be a doctor now, but he's from Beidu (Beijing), born in 1910. He had a master surnamed Jiang. In 1935, Sun Ziliang came to Jiangcheng with his master, who had a nickname: 'Divine Doctor Jiang'."

Qin Hengzhi listened attentively and told Lu Qiaoge that he had remembered it and that he would make a call later to ask his friend in Beidu to help him check.

But this will take some time.

Lu Qiaoge said she wasn't in a hurry.

The two entered the workshop together, where Lu Qiaoge was greeted by Team Leader Zhong, just like last time.

Team Leader Zhong seemed much more cheerful than last time, and smiled at Qin Hengzhi: "Representative Qin, go ahead and do your work, I will take care of Comrade Lu."

Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiaoge with tender eyes and whispered to her, "You saved someone. Such a good deed will definitely be publicized. You can wait to receive the commendation."

The news of Ding Jianshe being rescued has not yet been widely publicized.

It was Lu Qiaoge who told Qin Hengzhi on the way.

Qin Hengzhi had always known that Lu Qiaoge was strong and quick-witted, but he didn't expect her to be so decisive.

If Lu Qiaoge had hesitated for even a second, she wouldn't have been able to save Ding Jianshe.

Qin Hengzhi examined Lu Qiaoge's arm with a serious expression.

There was not a trace of romance, only seriousness and earnestness.

He was worried that Lu Qiaoge might have strained a muscle without realizing it.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

He admired Lu Qiaoge in his heart; she was truly a brave young girl.

If she joined the army, she would definitely be an even better soldier than him.

Inside the workshop, Lu Qiaoge smiled and waved to him. After Qin Hengzhi walked away, Team Leader Zhong said to Lu Qiaoge, "Your wheelchair design is excellent. Our revenue-generating workshop has produced three. I have already reported your name and company to the factory's technical department, and they will award you a science and technology innovation award according to regulations."

Lu Qiaoge never expected such a pleasant surprise.

However, she had other matters to attend to, so after thanking Team Leader Zhong, she left on her own.

But Lu Qiaoge and Team Leader Zhong had already agreed that they would pick it up a week later.
-
In the afternoon, Lu Qiaoge took Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze from the food factory to the grain bureau to pick up grain.
Director Hu arranged another batch, but the quantity was not large.

It can only be used for about a week.

Right now, the department store is experiencing a shortage of supplies, especially for tortillas, which are in the highest demand. Many people buy them to have as their main lunch.

Therefore, Lu Qiaoge decided to focus on cornmeal as the main product, and it would be best to develop other corn-based foods. But to be honest, corn pancakes still seem to be the most delicious.

Or perhaps a delicate steamed bun?
But people nowadays don't care for cornbread, because no matter how refined or delicious it is, it's still cornbread.

As a result, Xiangyang Food Factory's main product became corn cakes, which were supplied in large quantities every day, all made and sold on the same day.

Lu Qiaoge only mentioned it to Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze, and let them start arranging the work in the factory themselves.

After all, things are basically on the right track now.

Lu Qiaoge is now preparing to restart the night school.

Two years from now, night school might prove very useful.

It's already July, and even if you take the college entrance exam the year after next, you'll still need the corresponding high school knowledge.

Now that her sister-in-law and younger sister have secured jobs, and with her overseeing the Xiangyang Food Factory, as long as Meng Qingshan and his group don't court disaster, the food factory will only get better and better, and they will be promoted from collective workers to state-employed workers or even promoted to officers.

I think they will cherish it.

Lu Qiaoge was preparing to have a serious talk with the director about this matter when Sister Su called, telling her that Chairman Zhen was leaving for Nancheng the next day. The reception office and the provincial foreign trade bureau wanted to hold a farewell party. Although the foreign trade department was a district-level unit, they had performed very well in receiving Chairman Zhen and his entourage, so Director Zhou of the foreign trade department was in charge of the event. They had even signed two orders for timber and grain.

Our country is now also exchanging grain for foreign exchange.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoge's heart stirred.

According to the history she knew, this was indeed the case; due to the weak industrial base, the main sources of foreign exchange were minerals, textiles, and food.

Lu Qiaoge felt that it would be great if she could keep a portion of it.

That would alleviate the shortage of raw materials at Xiangyang Food Factory.

Sister Su on the other end said warmly, "Qiao Ge, the district is planning to invite you to participate. You can come with Director Hu from your subdistrict office."

After thinking about it, Lu Qiaoge readily agreed.

After she hung up the phone, Director Hu, who had gone out to a meeting, also returned.

Then, all the cadres of the subdistrict office held a meeting. The theme of this meeting was that the factory would hold a joint training session.

According to regulations, each unit selects young worker representatives to participate in this joint training.

The purpose of the joint training is threefold: first, to train elite troops; second, to improve the physical fitness and vigilance of young workers; and third, to ensure they work well and protect the military factory.

It is also to strengthen the cohesion of the young workers.

Lu Qiaoge will naturally participate. It is said that the training location may be the 516 training base. Although it has not been used for several years, the training grounds are not much different from those of the past.

Old Hu said that this time, you have to register first, then there will be a selection process, and finally the factory will select the top three. In addition to the award certificate, there will also be prizes.

The prize for first place is a bicycle.

This is similar to rewarding someone with a car in the future.

Shao Le naturally wanted to sign up and was eager to try.

Director Hu emphasized: "As before, boys and girls will train separately, and the rewards will be the same."

After the meeting ended, Lao Hu called out to Lu Qiaoge, "The factory's propaganda department will be interviewing you about your heroic act in a little while, so be prepared."

Lu Qiaoge nodded; the neighborhood committee was naturally the first to know about this.

And it was recorded and reported.

Lu Qiaoge pretended to be modest for a moment, and then humbly asked Director Hu what she should and shouldn't say.

Lao Hu actually doesn't have much experience, because he's never been interviewed before.

But that didn't stop him from talking to Lu Qiaoge for a long time, and Lu Qiaoge nodded seriously and said she had remembered it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people from the publicity department hadn't arrived, Lu Qiaoge went straight to the point and asked Lao Hu, "Director Hu, can our subdistrict office's night school be restarted?"

Director Hu was stunned for a moment, then glared at Lu Qiaoge: "What? Say it again."

Lu Qiaoge obediently repeated it.

Old Hu frowned and said, "I heard a rumor at the meeting today, which may not be accurate. It's said that the factory is preparing to build a new staff building according to the new regulations. The area around our night school might be requisitioned. For example, the bricks and tiles that are demolished can be used to build houses. But don't tell anyone about this, lest you be laughed at."

Lu Qiaoge wondered to herself, could it be that her suggestion had been adopted?

That's way too fast!

But think about it, this is May 516th, and the usual style is to be decisive and swift.

However, the night school cannot be demolished. If it is demolished, wouldn't we have to set up night schools in other places?
Besides, all those tables, chairs, and benches are a valuable asset.
