Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 476 Are you in a hurry to get married?

When Lu Qiaoge returned from her business trips to Beidu and Haicheng, the willows in Jiangcheng had sprouted and the withered grass had turned green.

And at this time, demolition also began.

Before Lu Qiaoge returned, Qin Hengzhi had already helped move her things to the technical school.

However, since Lu Qiaoge wasn't home, no one dared to touch her room for the time being.

We have to wait for Lu Qiaoge to come back before we can get things sorted out.

Lu Qiaoge returned a week later than expected.

Because a section of the railway collapsed, they took a detour before returning to Jiangcheng.

Lu Qiaoge was accompanied by Director Hu, Meng Qingshan from the food factory, and ten technical staff.

Overall, things went very smoothly.

This is the branch factory that was specifically requested to be built by the higher authorities. Even though many people look down on Jiangcheng, no one dares to say anything against it.

Of course, many people were also watching the spectacle with amusement.

In particular, the workers and managers of the Beidu No. 1 Food Factory who were named but did not want to go to the branch factory.

When construction started, we didn't expect it to be taken so seriously. The machines were all delivered by the local military garrison in large trucks.

Then, important leaders also participated.

Two leaders from the State Administration of Foreign Trade also came.

Some people regretted it.

But the positions are already filled.

After all, this is no longer the 1950s when everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt; it's already the 1970s.

With a large population increase, there are too many unemployed young people, especially educated youth returning to the cities.

Therefore, we are not short of manpower at all now.

They select the best candidates, and these people learn quickly.

Five key technical personnel were left in Beidu to provide guidance, while the other five remained in Haicheng.

Lu Qiaoge walked around the small bedroom.

She kept all the good stuff in her storage space, so there wasn't much of importance in the bedroom.

Qin Hengzhi stood at the door waiting to move things.

This time, the topic of the house was no longer mentioned, but he kept vaguely talking about wheat sprouts.

Lu Qiaoge looked at Qin Hengzhi, put down the book in her hand, and said seriously, "Are you in a hurry to get married?"

Qin Hengzhi thought to himself, "How could I not be anxious?"

He said, "Even if you get married, it won't be much different from now. Yes, what you do now and your job won't be affected at all. The only difference is that you'll have another family."

She paused, then said gently, "Of course, everything is up to you."

Before meeting Lu Qiaoge, he had never thought about dating, so he really didn't force it; he just wanted Qiaoge to be happy.

Besides, everyone is indeed busy right now.

After considering it for a moment, Lu Qiaoge said, "Then let's get married this year, around September. What do you think?"

Qin Hengzhi's eyes lit up immediately.

At that moment, it was as if all the starlight in the sky had fallen into his eyes.

He stepped forward, his voice trembling with suppressed excitement: "Qiao Ge, you really agree to marry me?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and nodded at him.

If she's been dating you for so long and isn't aiming for marriage, then she's just being a scoundrel.

At this time, most of the families in this area had moved to the technical school.

The Lu family was allocated three dormitories. They were quite spacious.

Since it was temporary accommodation, any house that was habitable was fine, and no one was picky. Everyone moved out happily.

In a few days, the factory will announce the layout and apartment types of this building complex, and then hold a staff meeting for on-site purchase. In the end, we will need to solicit the workers' opinions. If the workers agree, we will proceed with the agreed plan; if the workers disagree, we will deal with the disagreeing workers separately.

This is, after all, the family compound of a military factory.

If you could get a house by paying half the price yourself, I estimate 99% of people would agree.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved so quickly.

By this time, the sun had already set.

Since most of them have moved away, the surrounding area is very quiet.

However, the Lu family was not at peace.

Three sparrows, a pigeon, and a little squirrel were perched on the jujube tree in the yard.

The tabby cat lazily squatted on a thick tree branch.

He didn't even need to look to know that the little animals were watching him.

Yes, they were watching him.

Qin Hengzhi's intuition was extremely accurate.

But he still reached out and took Lu Qiaoge's hand, his gaze gentle and his voice just as tender: "Okay!"

Qin Hengzhi was overjoyed.

I was just helping my partner move, and I got such an unexpected bonus.

He happily picked up Lu Qiaoge's luggage and headed out. Those who didn't know him would have thought he was moving to a new house instead of a vocational school.

Living conditions at the technical school are quite tight. The Lu family was allocated a large dormitory, and Qin Hengzhi helped to make three partitions.

Then the old lady lived with her two granddaughters.

Grandma Lu looked at Lu Qiaoge with some concern and said, "Qiaoge, my sleep schedule is different from yours. I get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night. Will that affect your work?"

Lu Qiaoge asked in surprise, "How could this affect my work? This is at home."

Grandma Lu: "Don't you work overtime tonight or anything?"

"No, I work overtime at the office, not at home. Home is where I rest."

Grandma Lu thought about it and realized that made sense.

Qiao Ge seems to rarely be busy with work matters at home.

The dormitory had ready-made iron frame beds, all of them bunk beds. Grandma Lu slept on the lower bunk, while Lu Qiaoling climbed up to the upper bunk as soon as she entered the room, happily saying, "I'll sleep on the upper bunk, I'll arrange it myself."

Wow, I got the top bunk! I'm so excited!

Then, lying on the upper bunk, he said to Lu Qiaoge, "Second sister, second sister, I'll tidy up for you. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I promise I'll tidy it up perfectly."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and agreed. She opened the bundle, took out the down comforter, and placed it on Grandma Lu's bed: "Grandma, this is yours. I'll take the other two to the next room."

She bought these in Haicheng, but there weren't many; she only managed to get five. She casually put them all in her spatial storage, and given the current temperature outside, they're perfect for use right now.

Lu Qiaoge didn't go straight home after get off work, but went to the north of the city, mainly to deal with the basement.

The house has been taken over by the government, and this area has been fenced off. It is in the same district as the Xiangyang branch factory, which has already started production. Now, all the people here have moved away. During the day, some people come to collect scraps and firewood, but after dark, there is basically no one here.

Lu Qiaoge entered the courtyard, which had already been cleaned up by Qin Hengzhi and his elder brother. The sign that had been used to conceal the truth had been removed, and the house and its surroundings were spotless. There were regulations on the sign prohibiting the removal of doors and windows, as well as the red brick walls surrounding the courtyard. These were all reusable resources these days. With funds very tight, it would have been impossible to invest in building a factory if it weren't for producing instant noodles.

Therefore, anything that can be saved should definitely be saved.

Lu Qiaoge arrived at the well, opened the door, went into the basement, and brought in water from the freshwater lake in the space.

It quickly reached a depth of ten centimeters.

Lu Qiaoge figured the depth was about right, so she left the basement. This time, she didn't close the well completely, but left a finger-thick gap by the well.

After a while, the staff of the preparatory office began to clean up the area. They saw the basement, which was flooded, but all traces of water had been washed away.
