Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 453 What good thing is it?

With everything settled here, everyone got into the two vehicles and headed towards the commune.

After they left, Zhao Xiaodi and Zhao Xiaomei, standing at the village entrance, stared blankly in the direction the car had gone.

Aunt Jiang's eyes darted around. She had just grabbed her husband and asked him, but he said not to ask yet. If it worked out, it would be a great thing, a fantastic thing, and our village would benefit from it.

What good thing could that be?

I really can't think of anything.

But she spoke very kindly to Zhao Xiaodi and Zhao Xiaomei, saying, "Don't worry, you two. Your sister has your brother-in-law and two older brothers. They have important business to attend to at the commune."

Zhao Xiaomei blinked: "You have something important to do?"

Could it be the handicrafts that the pretty factory manager Lu mentioned?

Today is the big day for the youngest son of the Wu family, but the new house is empty; the young couple has gone to the brigade headquarters.

Despite this, the old man and woman of the Wu family couldn't stop smiling.

It's supposedly a good thing.

But I don't know exactly what it is.

However, it was a high-ranking official from the city who called the two of them to go to the brigade headquarters together.

It's probably referring to the things that Xiaoman made by weaving corn husks.

Jiangcheng uses Jinjin grass to weave all sorts of handicrafts to export and earn foreign exchange. Of course, Old Mrs. Wu knew about this. She had a very bold idea in her mind, but she didn't say anything. Then she told her husband, "Old man, let me tell you, if someone asks you, don't talk nonsense. Just say you don't know anything."

Old Wu wasn't stupid. He said, "Even if I knew, I couldn't say anything. It's not even close to happening yet. If it doesn't work out, our Wu family will be laughed at to death by the villagers!"

Then he went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back.

Anyway, nowadays everything is done in a new way. Not only the brigade, but the commune doesn't allow those things to be done either.

It's considered a bad custom and not encouraged, but the tea party format is the best, so it's also quite worry-free.

Not to mention, it even caught the eye of a powerful person.

Indeed, for the Wu family elders, Lu Qiaoge was Zhao Xiaoman's benefactor.

Seeing that her husband had promised not to boast, the old lady Wu, who was cleaning the house, quickly put her hands together and quietly chanted when no one was around: "Namo Amitabha Buddha, please bless my youngest daughter-in-law so that she can be selected by a high-ranking official in the city..."

At this moment, the jeep had already stopped outside the gate of Manshan Commune.

President Zhu was naturally in his office when he was startled to see so many people arrive.

They quickly ushered the person into the conference room.

After exchanging pleasantries and introductions, President Zhu learned of Lu Qiaoge's plans.

They stared in shock, their eyes wide: "A branch factory being established in our Manshan Commune, this...this..."

Even the usually eloquent President Zhu was now stammering with excitement. He glanced at his distant relative who was grinning foolishly, and she nodded vigorously at him, indicating that it was true, really true. Don't be fooled by her being a young woman; she truly has the final say.

But clearly, they came prepared.

Lu Qiaoge spoke directly to Director Zhu: "I plan to open a training course in Wagouzi Brigade first, and specially invite Grandma Huang, a recipient of the Five Guarantees in the brigade, to be the consultant. Then Zhao Xiaoman will be in charge of teaching, and I plan to invite Zhao Xiaoman to be the deputy factory director. The commune can nominate someone to serve as the factory director. Director Zhu, do you see any difficulties or inconveniences?"

President Zhu: ...

That's so sudden! Are all young people this decisive and ruthless in their work these days?
Although it was sudden, President Zhu quickly recovered and immediately said, "There's no difficulty or inconvenience at all. We're so happy."

He was certain that if he hesitated even slightly, Lu Qiaoge would have walked away immediately.

Besides, this is such a great opportunity that it's like a pie falling from the sky, why should he refuse it?

This is something that other communes couldn't even dream of.

Thinking that his commune would soon have a factory, Director Zhu said excitedly, "Director Lu, tell us what you need us to do, and we'll do it right away."

Lu Qiaoge smiled: "In that case, I'll call the county when I get back. When they ask, just tell them the truth: I'm taking a few of these handicrafts, and I'll leave the rest as samples."

You can recruit craftsmen with experience in weaving corn husks from across the entire commune.

All benefits are the same as in the craft factory. The number of employees will be limited to fifty, and the factory needs to be spacious, bright, fireproof, and waterproof.

President Zhu, if production is tight, we need to set up a canteen and prepare a place for employees to rest.

So once the relevant procedures are completed, we will allocate funds to the factory..."

When Lu Qiaoge got to this point, President Zhu, Zhao Xiaoman, and the others finally felt a sense of reality.

President Zhu reacted quickly and immediately took Lu Qiaoge to the vicinity of the commune.

Fearing that Lu Qiaoge would think it would be too expensive to rebuild a house, Director Zhu said, "We currently have warehouses, a resettlement site for educated youth, a literacy class, and the old canteen in the vacant areas. They can all be used after some repairs. Don't worry, Director Lu, the commune will take care of the repairs and ensure they meet the conditions you just mentioned. We also have carpenters who can make tables, chairs, benches, and frames right away..."

Lu Qiaoge had always thought that President Zhu was a very quick-witted person, and now she felt that this was indeed the case.

Lu Qiaoge nodded and said to Fan Xiaoyu, "Your design team can also design some new samples to participate in the Spring Trade Fair together with the products from the main factory."

At that moment, President Zhu was thinking only one thing: they really are rich.

The enthusiastic President Zhu refused to let these people leave.

He didn't dare to pull Lu Qiaoge, nor did he dare to pull Qin Hengzhi, so he pulled Shao's father, almost reaching out to hug him.

Shao's father, who had only been there to watch the spectacle, gestured to Lu Qiaoge with his eyes to stop tearing things up.

Lu Qiaoge stopped refusing and, since it was already noon, decided to stay for lunch.

The commune had a large canteen, and an excited commune leader, Zhu, arranged for the head chef to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain Lu Qiaoge and the others.

Chicken stew with vermicelli and mushrooms, pickled cabbage and pork belly, and large steamed buns—the portions were generous and the taste was great.

After finishing her meal, Lu Qiaoge left behind the food coupons and money.

President Zhu initially didn't want to accept it, but he eventually did.

They're all doing official business. If he insists on refusing to accept it, wouldn't that be setting Lu Qiaoge up as the first to break the rules?
With Lu Qiaoge in the county, Director Zhu doesn't have to worry about anything right now. Lu Qiaoge promised him that she would have Director Hu make a call as soon as she got back.

President Zhu said to Zhao Xiaoman, "You and the brigade leader go back to the village first. The county leaders will be coming to your village soon. Don't worry or be nervous. Director Lu values ​​your skills. As long as you are skilled, you'll be fine."

Zhao Xiaoman nodded repeatedly.

She definitely won't be nervous or make a fool of herself. This opportunity is too rare; it might only come once in a lifetime, and once it's gone, it'll never come again.

President Zhu then instructed Captain Jiang, "Go and check on Grandma Huang to see if she has any difficulties."

Captain Jiang said, "It's just that she has difficulty walking, but that's easy to solve. I'll just send someone to pick her up every day."
