Chapter 412 Pioneers of Foreign Exchange Earnings
Having no other choice, Fan Laoda and his wife had to bite the bullet and help Li Cuizhi up from the ground.

After everyone left, Fan Xiaoyu held Lu Qiaoge's hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion, unsure of what to say.

Lu Qiaoge gently patted the back of her hand and said in a gentle tone, "Focus on your work and don't let irrelevant people and things interfere with your path."

Fan Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

Lu Qiaoge was extremely satisfied with the dozen or so people who had followed her from the very beginning and persisted until now. They were now serious about their work, willing to endure hardship, and hardworking, and were improving day by day.

They were like soldiers; once she gave an order, they carried it out without hesitation, with the sincere spirit of a warrior willing to die for his confidant.

In Beidu, Old Master Qin specially invited Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng to his home for dinner.

Lu Yun has been exceptionally allowed to remain at the Command Academy to complete the studies she had not finished. All the benefits she was entitled to have been restored, and she has also received compensation.

Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng initially felt a little embarrassed to bother them, but since Qin Lang, the second uncle of the Qin family, came to pick them up in person, Lu Yun didn't feel comfortable refusing anymore and went to the Qin family by car.

As they approached the Qin family's gate, Qin Lang pointed to an empty house behind it and said, "That's where the Cao family used to live. They've all moved away now."

Lu Yun nodded without saying anything more.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and Cao Jing has long lost any possibility of reforming herself.

Grandma Qin warmly chatted with Lu Yun about everyday things.

Qin Feng and Bai Jinyan were also at home. They no longer went to the base, staying home to organize the data from the past few years. They occasionally called their son and were relieved to learn that he and Qiao Ge were getting along well. As for their marriage, although they both hoped the two would settle down soon, they would not interfere and would leave it entirely to their own wishes.

However, as Lu Qiaoge's second aunt and an elder, Lu Yun was clearly addressed by the Qin family: they were ready to arrange their son's wedding at any time, which was meant to reassure the bride's family.

Grandpa Qin was quite magnanimous. He knew his eldest grandson's character well; once that boy set his mind on someone, he would never let go unless he was about to die.

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "We will listen to the children in everything. They are busy with work now, especially Qiao Ge, and we can't let family matters distract her. But everything that needs to be prepared at home has been prepared. It's just that Hengzhi is currently serving as the military representative stationed at the factory, and unless there are special circumstances, he needs to serve for five years. In addition, the project he is in charge of is at a critical stage, and he may not be able to be transferred back to Beidu in the short term. If the two children want to get married, I'm afraid they will have to settle down in Jiangcheng for the time being."

Lu Yun nodded, agreeing that this was indeed the case.

Grandma Qin continued, "Their work unit will definitely allocate housing for them, and we have already prepared all the necessary supplies. But we were thinking of arranging a new house for them in Beidu in advance, with everything properly furnished, so that they will have a home in Beidu as well."

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Auntie, you've really thought this through."

Grandpa Qin continued, "The wedding room is one thing, but I still hope they can live in the compound, so it will be more convenient for them to handle things."

Bai Jinyan quickly added, "Of course, in the end it depends on Qiao Ge and Heng Zhi's own decision; we won't interfere."

Before coming, Lu Yun harbored a slight unease. Even though she had confidence in her niece, this worry was still unavoidable. Young people often view people and things through an idealized lens, while someone her age had more scrutiny and was better able to see through people's hearts.

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize it was all unnecessary worry.

The Qin family has always been upright and honest. They like what they like and they don't pretend or make excuses when they don't like something. They will make their attitude clear to their children.

At their level, there's no need for such a fuss. After having dinner at the Qin family's house, Qin Lang drove the two of them back to the Command Academy's residential area.

Based on the actual situation, the college allocated Lu Yun a dormitory room on the fifth floor at the back of the family area. Although the room was not large, it was enough for her and Chen Liangsheng to live in for the time being.

Chen Liangsheng asked gently, "Now that this trip is over, you should be completely at ease, right?"

Lu Yun nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'm relieved."

Chen Liangsheng couldn't help but sigh: "It's been five years since I last went to Jiangcheng. The last time I went, Zhiguo had just graduated from junior high school and was still a naughty boy running around the streets. Now he's about to become a father. At that time, Qiao Ge had just started junior high school, Qiao Ling was in elementary school, and Xiao Si was weak and thin, sitting on a stool. He was so well-behaved that it broke my heart."

He sighed softly and said, "I should also go to Jiangcheng. Xiaoyun, what are your plans?"

Lu Yun thought for a moment and said seriously, "Judging from the current situation, knowledge is being valued more and more. I plan to finish my course and get my diploma."

Chen Liangsheng nodded: "My former leader talked to me. The Northwest Base has an office in Beidu, and he plans to transfer me here to work."

Lu Yun raised her clear eyes and looked at Chen Liangsheng, who was thin and already had gray hair. Recalling everything from the past, she seemed to see again the handsome and slightly shy young Chen Liangsheng.

At that time, the Command Academy and the Petroleum Academy were not far apart. At a social gathering, she met Chen Liangsheng. After chatting, she learned that Chen Liangsheng's home was not far from Jiangcheng. They fell in love and got married. Less than a month later, she left Beidu.

The two had originally agreed that after working for a while, they would return to teaching at the school.

Both were top students, and the school needed their talents to nurture more students. Who could have imagined that her departure would last twenty years…

When she regained her memory, she never expected that Chen Liangsheng had never remarried. Not only that, but after learning about her, he abandoned everything and traveled across the ocean to find her.

They were together for less than two years, but separated for a full twenty years.

Lu Yun reached out and slowly hugged Chen Liangsheng, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "I hope it's not too late."

Chen Liangsheng's voice was tinged with laughter as he said meaningfully, "Of course it's not too late, it's more than enough, everything is just right."

Before we knew it, the end of the year was here.

After rounds of selection, Lu Qiaoge was recognized as an advanced worker, a model worker, and a pioneer in foreign exchange earnings at Factory 516.

This "Foreign Exchange Earning Pioneer" award is quite interesting; it was specially awarded by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade. I heard that the selection process only started this year.

However, for some reasons, the commendation meeting was not held separately. The document was issued from Beijing, asking the leaders of the respective units to hold their own commendation meeting.

This commendation meeting will be held after the commendation meetings of each department in the factory.

Thanks to the joint efforts of all workers and leaders, Xiangyang Food Factory has successfully shipped three train cars of instant noodles. This also includes straw-woven products made by the handicrafts factory.

At the neighborhood committee office, if they have a thousand yuan or so in their accounts by the end of the year, enough to give a towel or a large tea mug to the comrades who receive awards, that's considered pretty good. But this year, Old Hu stared at the long string of zeros at the end of the ledger without blinking for a long time.
