Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 43: The Turmoil Caused by Recruitment Indicators

The wind picked up on the way back.

Lu Qiaoge narrowed his eyes. He didn't know when, but in the distant sky, a large mass of dark clouds quietly rose up.

The afterglow of the setting sun struggled between the clouds, casting the last ray of dark golden light.

There are big willow trees planted on both sides of the road, and the treetops are swaying in the wind.

It seems that the storm is really coming.

Lu Qiaoge twitched his nose. The old turtle was so powerful, comparable to a weather satellite.

You know, our country’s weather satellite hasn’t been launched into space yet.

At the intersection, Lu Qiaoge and Shao Le separated and walked towards their respective homes.

Lu Qiage clenched her hands. Bicycle, she must buy a bicycle.

At this time, Director Hao and Secretary He wanted to drink with Qin Hengzhi, so they did not go to his office.

The two of them talked quietly while waiting for Qin Hengzhi.

"Representative Qin has too high standards. If he had found a partner in our factory, he might not have to leave."

"I've really thought about it. I've met with the union chairman and the factory women's federation, and there are actually a few suitable candidates."

Secretary He's eyes lit up: "Why don't you introduce him to Representative Qin?"

Director Hao: "You know Bai Jinxin from the Provincial Women's Federation, right?"

"I know. Isn't that Representative Qin's aunt?"

"I specifically asked her opinion, and she advised me not to bring it up because he didn't agree with An Leilei from the provincial art troupe that Mr. Bai had introduced."

The An family is a famous family in Jiangcheng.

In particular, Mr. An has a wide network of contacts and he and Mr. Bai are old comrades.

Secretary He waved his hand: "Fortunately you didn't mention it."

Director Hao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you see the girl with Shao Le?"

Secretary He nodded: "I see, she shouldn't be Shao Le's girlfriend, I remember your nephew's girlfriend doesn't look like this."

Director Hao said, "That girl is so young, and she came to the military representative office with Shao Le. She must be a new employee of the Subdistrict Office. She must be Old Lu's second daughter, Lu Qiaoge, who got in with the most votes."

At this point, Director Hao lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you think Lu Qiaoge and Representative Qin are a good match?"

Director Hao had an inexplicable intuition that the two men had extremely similar auras.

As for why they were similar, he couldn't explain it in a single word.

"Was she engaged to Liang Aishu, and then broke off the engagement?"

Director Hao sat up straight and waved his hand in frustration: "I actually forgot about this. Okay, forget about it."

At this time, Lu Qiaoge didn't know that the factory director and the secretary were whispering to her behind her back. She and the tabby cat entered the yard one after another.

At just one glance, I realized something was wrong.

Lu Qiaoge asked the tabby cat in his heart: [Huahua, what happened at home? Did they have a fight?]

The tabby cat's face was full of innocence: [I just got back, I don't know.]

At this time, the Lu family were all in the yard.

Lu Qiaoge closed the door.

Old Lu, who always works overtime and comes home late, obviously came back early today. He sat under a big tree, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The iron pot lid was puffing on the honeycomb coal stove. This was the stove placed in the yard. The meals were prepared at this time every day, but there was no fragrance of food, and no one knew what to do with the boiling water in the big pot.

Lu Zhiguo squatted on the ground with his head down, while Lu Xiaosi stood nervously beside Old Lady Lu. Old Lady Lu looked unhappy, and Meng Xia looked the worst.

Just now I heard Meng Xia's loud voice, which she tried to lower.

When Lu Qiaoge opened the curtain and entered the kitchen, he saw his sister-in-law Su Hui wiping her tears with an apron.

Where is Lu Qiaoling?

Lu Qiaoge stood in front of the window of his sister and grandmother's room and looked inside. Lu Qiaoling was also crying, and crying very sadly?

"Qiao Ge's back just in time." The eldest brother, Lu Zhiguo, stood up quickly and said, "Hurry up and persuade our mother. Xiaohui didn't mean that."

Meng Xia suddenly threw the half-pasted cardboard box to the ground: "Your wife didn't mean that, so what did she mean? She's been pregnant for a long time. Why didn't you say it earlier or later, but your dad just said it when he got the recruitment form back? Come on, Lu Zhiguo, tell me, who should this recruitment quota be given to? Your wife is pregnant, she doesn't have a job, and your family needs a mouth to feed, and you're still a temporary worker, living from today to tomorrow. This job is most suitable for you, isn't that what you mean?"

Lu Zhiguo's face turned red. Although he had a bad temper, he was very filial. He didn't know what to say after hearing what Meng Xia said.

I can only scold Su Hui: "You are such a liar. If you are pregnant, then you are pregnant. Why do you say it now? Why can't you say it in a few days?"

Lu Qiaoling pushed open the window and cried, "Alright, stop pretending and making indirect accusations. You're just telling me what's going on. I don't really need this quota, but you can't just assume I'm unqualified. You're just being patriarchal and think I'm the most important. Give it to me if you want, and don't give it to me if you don't want. Why are you all ganging up on me?"

Meng Xia was furious and scolded Lu Qiaoling, "You heartless person! When did your father and I ever favor boys over girls? We're both brothers. Honestly, when have we ever treated you and your sister wrongly? You insisted on taking your grandmother with you when you went to the countryside, and your father and I scrimped and saved to send you money and food stamps. Your second sister broke off her engagement and didn't even bother finding a partner. She just lives here like this, occupying a room all to herself. Did your father and I say anything?"

Lu Qiaoge: ...

How does this have anything to do with her?

Su Hui cried very sadly.

Lu Zhiguo yelled, "Why are you crying? No one is saying anything to you or scolding you."

Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly and raised his voice: "Stop, don't talk."

Although Lu Qiaoge was still the same Lu Qiaoge, and her voice was still sweet, Meng Xia inexplicably felt that her second daughter suddenly had a stronger aura.

Lu Zhiguo also quickly shut up.

Lu Qiaoge glared at Lu Qiaoling who was about to refute.

Lu Qiaoling immediately shut up.

Old Lu felt that his depressed mood had improved a lot. His second daughter was born to be a cadre.

He is really good at keeping the situation under control.

He told Lu Qiaoge what happened today, and then took out a form from his bag.

Lu Qiaoge took it and took a look, and found that it was a recruitment quota form.

Lao Lu actually wanted to say that this indicator only existed because of Qiao Ge.

But obviously I can’t say that now.

"I was planning to wait for you to come back and hold a family meeting to discuss this. Since there are three unemployed people in our family..."

Lu Qiaoge interrupted rudely: "Dad, is there an age limit for recruitment?"

Old Lu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Qiaoge was worried about Lu Zhiguo's age, so he said, "The age limit for this recruitment is relaxed. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female. Anyone over 18 or under 40 is welcome."

Lu Qiaoge corrected him: "So, there are four unemployed people in our family."

Meng Xia was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you have a job?"

Lu Qiaoge blinked. "Mom, the fourth person I was talking about is you. You can definitely take this recruitment quota."

Meng Xia's mind went blank as she looked at her smiling second daughter in shock.

Can she be considered one?
This was something she dared not even think about.
