Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 454 should be called Lu Qiaoge's Speed
After giving a few more instructions, Director Zhu decided not to go home. He simply sat in his office waiting for the county to call him.

He also has superiors with whom he has a good relationship, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

If this doesn't work out, wouldn't he be just playing with the leader and making the leader happy for nothing?
So, just wait patiently.

When I got back to the family compound, it was just time for me to go to work.

Mr. Shao found it very amazing.

How could such a big project as opening a branch factory be done so easily?
It was clearly difficult, but it felt very easy to Lu Qiaoge.

Mr. Shao has seen it all.

Having witnessed it, my feelings are different now. This girl is bold, energetic, and truly deserves to be called an outstanding person among her peers.

Thinking of her troublesome daughter-in-law, she sighed and said, "No matter what, she's Xiaodouzi's biological mother, and the two children can't live without her. Let's try to be accommodating to her..."

She paused, then said in a hoarse voice, "Yonggang, this is your first time celebrating the Lunar New Year with us. Let's both be well, okay?"

Shao Yonggang knows what it means to be well.

He didn't object and nodded.

But he still told Shao's father, "Dad, I'll go to night school to catch up on lessons next year."

Mr. Shao's eyes welled up with tears of joy.

We've been telling him to go for a while, but he won't go, and as his parents, we can't force him.

The fact that they made such a request today suggests they've come to terms with it.

Mr. Shao felt that today's trip was worthwhile.

At this moment, Qin Hengzhi had already parked the car at the intersection next to the street office. The two whispered intimately in the car for a while and held hands briefly before reluctantly parting ways.

Lu Qiaoge got out of the car with a smile.

Qin Hengzhi smiled slightly and drove towards the factory area.

Lu Qiaoge reported to Lao Hu, because it had been agreed beforehand that Lao Hu trusted Lu Qiaoge and gave her a lot of freedom. As long as she thought it was okay, he would fully support her.

Today, Lu Qiaoge inspected the finished product, which met export standards. Lao Hu was also very happy, as this meant that their income had increased again.

Besides, Lu Qiaoge also said so.

They've only gained an early advantage in the handicrafts sector. As the market expands, competition will arise, since these products are different from fast-food consumables like instant noodles.

So, make money quickly in these few years, and when you have accumulated more capital, you can switch to doing something else.

Old Hu thought what Lu Qiaoge said made a lot of sense, and he said the same thing when he reported to the factory director.

Naturally, all were approved.

So Lao Hu directly called Lanhe County, which oversees Manshan Commune.

The other party was shocked, but after the shock came joy, as this was a tremendous good thing for them.

Therefore, Deputy County Magistrate Chen, along with his secretary and colleagues from the Foreign Trade Bureau, hurriedly went to Manshan Commune.

Then a group of people went to the Wagouzi Brigade.

Apart from the ones Lu Qiaoge took, the remaining corn husk handicrafts were carefully placed on the table in the brigade headquarters.

I went to see the old canteen of the Wagouzi Brigade, and I must say, it was quite spacious.

I also visited Grandma Huang to thank her for the opportunities she brought to the county and the commune.

As for Zhao Xiaoman, she is the deputy factory director specifically mentioned by Lu Qiaoge, so there's no need for polite words.

After asking in detail and seeing the corn husk handicrafts, the other party had to admit that the ordinary corn husk crafts could be called handicrafts.

This is good.

The North has no shortage of corn leaves. Speed ​​is of the essence in war, so instead of waiting for Lu Qiaoge to allocate funds, we can simply wait and expect things to come to us. Deputy County Magistrate Chen has approved old newspapers, tables and chairs, a blackboard, several wooden shelves with cabinet doors, and broken bricks.

Old newspapers are used to paste the walls, and broken bricks are used to pave the floor. Once these are set up, the training center will become bright and spacious.

The branch factory was finalized in less than a day.

In this era, this can be described as military-industrial speed.

No, it should be called Lu Qiaoge's speed.

The next day, Lao Hu, Lu Qiaoge, and Fan Xiaoyu went to Manshan Commune again. Together with people from the county, the three parties held a two-hour meeting and finalized all the matters concerning the branch factory.

Without Lu Qiaoge's instructions, President Zhu immediately assured Lao Hu and the others: "Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job in recruiting. After the Lantern Festival, we will hold an on-site knitting competition. Suitable people, as long as their background and character are not problematic, will be kept. Then we will compile a list and report it to the head office. The final decision will still be made by Director Hu and Director Lu."

Old Hu said, "Okay, our principle is still better to have none than to have bad ones."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if they have no experience. As long as they are the right age and like this industry, we can give them a learning opportunity. We can weave not only in the factory, but also at home. The branch factory can just do the acceptance and quality control work."

Only then did Zhao Xiaoman finally feel a sense of reality.

At the end of the meeting, Lu Qiaoge told Zhao Xiaoman, "I've had a wheelchair custom-made for Grandma Huang, and it should be ready by the time training starts. Starting today, you'll be the deputy director of the branch factory. You'll receive the same treatment as other employees during the Spring Festival, including Grandma Huang, who is also an advisor. However, since you lack experience, you'll come to our main factory for training after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It will last for a week, and we'll arrange dormitory and canteen for you..."

Zhao Xiaoman looked at Lu Qiaoge with gratitude.

I wanted to say thank you, but it felt too insincere.

He could only nod vigorously: "Factory manager, I'll listen to you, I'll definitely do my job well!"
-
With only two days left until Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere in the entire military factory's residential compound has suddenly become very strong.

The company has already distributed the New Year's gifts.

Now, each household goes to the department store to buy some necessities.

The naughty children have already set off small firecrackers by the roadside.

The neighborhood committee members, wearing red armbands, used loudspeakers to promote the message: "Safety first, safety first."

Some children who love to look pretty and are vain couldn't resist changing into their new clothes right away, which drew a scolding from the adults behind them: "Who told you to wear that now? That's for the New Year. Take it off right now!"

Before the words were even finished, the child had already run far away.

The adults could only laugh and scold, "All you do is show off!"

This year, the grocery stores have received a lot of large radishes, cabbages, and frozen celery.

In Northeast China, people typically make dumplings on Lunar New Year's Eve, but they don't usually use cabbage or sauerkraut.

They use celery, but it's freezing cold right now, and there's no "vegetable basket project" yet, so the department store got a batch of frozen celery.

After thawing, it tastes great when mixed with pork filling.

There was a really long queue at the counter.

The same applies to the Lu family.

The dust has been swept away, and the duvet covers and sheets have been washed and are ready to be changed tomorrow.

Because the factory was going to build staff housing after the Spring Festival, there was no need for the Lu family to paste newspapers on the walls of their house. They could simply sweep away the dust and put up festive and brightly colored New Year pictures.

Qin Hengzhi has excellent calligraphy skills.

He wrote many couplets at the Lu family's residence.

Knowing that he could write couplets, Mrs. Lin, the neighbor, held the cut-out red paper and waited eagerly.

They usually had a good relationship, and Mengxia had some thoughts in her mind, but she didn't want to show them.

Qin Hengzhi didn't mind, and Lu Qiaoge was busy helping him. He was so happy that he wanted to write more pages.
