Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 414 When the Big River is Full, the Small Rivers are Abundant

In this scene, whether it was the leaders or the workers, everyone's face was filled with genuine joy, and everyone was all smiles.

Director Hu just emphasized that the reason we were able to distribute such generous benefits this year is because the two factories established by the subdistrict office this year have earned a considerable amount of foreign exchange for the country.

People today have simple thoughts. Even if they have limited resources, they feel incredibly proud and honored as long as they think that their workplace can contribute to the country.

Now, this pride and sense of accomplishment have been transformed into tangible objects, which is even more delightful.

Deputy Director Huang also sighed with emotion, saying to Lao Hu, "This is probably what they mean by 'when the big river is full, the tributaries are full; when the big river is dry, the tributaries are dry.'"

"Yes, that makes sense." Old Hu was even secretly glad that Lu Qiaoge hadn't set up the instant noodle production line in Beidu or Haicheng, but insisted on placing it under the name of the street office. Otherwise, how could there be such a joyful scene today?
After receiving their items, the street office staff and workers did not only think of themselves, but also took the initiative to help several elderly residents of the neighborhood committee take the items home.

Grandma Wang's husband opened the door and immediately saw her triumphant expression: "Hey, what are you standing there for? Xiao Shao helped us carry so much stuff, hurry up and help him, don't tire the young man out!"

Grandma Wang's husband was about to grumble, "You're so smug about getting a towel, do you expect me to come and get it for you?"

But then I noticed what Aunt Wang and Shao Le were carrying...

Pork, salted duck eggs, rice, and even the legendary instant noodles!
The old man was stunned and speechless.

It should be noted that Xiangyang brand instant noodles are not sold domestically at all; they are produced and shipped directly to all parts of the world by special trains. He has never even tasted them.

This time, the welfare program even includes instant noodles! My goodness, the neighborhood committee is really generous!

His usually stern face suddenly broke into a wide smile.

Then, Aunt Wang took out five ten-yuan bills and slammed them on the table: "Here, this is my bonus. How about it? Aren't you envious? Although I don't have a retirement pension, I will definitely work hard in the neighborhood committee from now on. Qiao Ge said that she will consider our retirement in the future."

This time, for the first time ever, Wang's husband didn't mock her. Instead, he nodded repeatedly and said, "What Qiao Ge said will definitely work out. Oh, you've come at a good time! You're so lucky!"

Similar heartwarming scenes are unfolding in other families as well.

This year, the logistics department and the labor union, such as Lao Shen and Lao Liang, have been busy for a whole month.

First, they received a batch of pork, and later they delivered salted duck eggs.

Only after asking did I learn that Lu Qiaoge had helped me make the arrangements.

Moreover, it is not necessary to purchase the full amount.

Half of it was donated by Shunhe Group. The rice was provided by Ms. Zhen Xi, the general manager of Gangcheng.

In other words, despite the generous benefits this year, logistics and labor unions didn't actually spend much money; it was all within the national quota.

Who would have thought?

Yes, who would have thought that these two small street-run factories, which had only been established for half a year, could generate such great benefits and have such a wide impact?
Xiangyang brand instant noodles are not yet available in China, but they are said to sell out as soon as they hit the shelves abroad, especially in the port city and Nanyang area.

Now, Xiangyang instant noodles has developed a new flavor: braised beef noodles. Oh my, the aroma is even more tempting than chicken stew with mushrooms. After finishing one bowl, you'll want another; it's simply addictive.

In short, Lao Shen and Lao Liang had mixed feelings. They could no longer remember what Lu Qiaoge was like before; perhaps this was what they meant by breaking free of her cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Old Liang even secretly wondered: if his son hadn't broken off his engagement with Lu Qiaoge, and the two were still engaged, wouldn't he at least benefit a little? His daughter-in-law, Shen Yun, had been unwell since becoming pregnant and had taken a long leave of absence. Although his son was still a technician, he was no longer as spirited as before.

He had spoken with Liang Aishu, mainly to see what the young couple planned to do.

If Lu Qiaoge had remained unknown, it wouldn't have been so bad. But as she became more and more outstanding, the two children always lived in her shadow and were constantly mocked by others. This feeling of being slowly cut by a dull knife was truly unbearable.

Although he was angry that his son was not living up to his potential, he knew that things had come to this point, and as parents, they couldn't just complain. They could only try their best to help them solve their problems.

The best solution is to transfer them, whether to another city, a farm, or somewhere else. With some effort from him and Lao Shen, they can still arrange a good job for them.

But the two refused to leave.

According to her son, "As long as Lu Qiaoge doesn't give up on herself, her career will definitely get better and better, and she will never be limited to the military factory. Qin Hengzhi is currently the military representative stationed at the factory, but he also has a term limit and cannot be re-elected. Therefore, they certainly won't stay in Jiangcheng forever, and they might both be transferred in a few years."

Old Liang felt his son's words made some sense, so he stopped insisting. When he and Old Shen were arranging these benefits, they inevitably had to deal with Lu Qiaoge. Lu Qiaoge was always smiling and showed them great respect.

What can they say?

I'm not an utterly wicked person. I didn't raise my child well, but I still did my best at work.

Therefore, this year, with Lu Qiaoge's help in making arrangements, the benefits at the military factory have been significantly increased, including fresh eggs and chicks.

Lu Qiaoge made the biggest contribution and received the most, which was hauled back by car.

Now, apart from Grandma Lu and Xiao Si, everyone else in the Lu family is at work.

Su Hui and Lu Qiaoling both work at the food factory and enjoy generous benefits, including pork, instant noodles, pastries, eggs, soybean oil, and more. These things are more than enough to last them for half a year, let alone the New Year.

Lu Yun called to say that she and Chen Liangsheng would be returning to Jiangcheng in early January and planned to stay for a while.

They originally wanted to stay at Lu Qiaoge's house in the north of the city, but this time Qin Hengzhi insisted and handed the key directly to Meng Xia.

After all, she's the head of the family now.

He said sincerely, "My house has been empty all this time, and I mostly stay in the dormitory. Moreover, if the house continues to be empty, it should be returned to the organization."

Meng Xia had some concerns: "Is it appropriate for us to move in now?"

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. My second aunt and I are in the same system. Even if she doesn’t live at my place, our military representative office will still arrange accommodation for her.”

Lu Qiaoge asked her grandmother, who was sitting next to her, with a smile, "Grandma, would you like to come and stay with us?"

Grandma Lu smiled and glared at her: "It's not far away. I think I can just take the bus to see your second aunt. I won't join in their fun."

Meng Xia then realized that her second daughter had also agreed.

However, Lu Yun and Qin Hengzhi are indeed in the same system now. Apart from their different levels, they wear the same uniforms.
