Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 57: Small but Complete

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

No benefits but rewards?
Will all efforts be rewarded?
Is that what you mean?

But Lu Qiaoge did not continue the topic and stopped there. She believed that these twelve people were not stupid and would understand what she meant.

Xiangyang Night School is a bungalow located in an old housing area and has been empty for seven or eight years.

This used to be a literacy class and later became a night school. When the factory was first established, the workers were either retired soldiers or advanced elements recruited through recruitment. Their general educational level was very low, and they basically obtained primary school or junior high school diplomas here.

It's such a shame to leave it like this.

When Lu Qiaoge was strolling around the yard with his tabby cat, he took a fancy to this place.

But unexpectedly, it collapsed on a rainy night.

But it's not serious, just a house on the west side collapsed.

Lu Qiaoge walked around carefully and couldn't help but sigh that the house was built very well, without any cutting of corners, and it was very solid.

As for the collapsed area, it was caused by a large tree next to the house being broken by the wind and pressing down on the roof.

The big tree has been processed and placed in the corner.

Lu Qiaoge was not planning to hire any outside help. The newly established service station had to achieve some results and build its reputation.

Lu Qiaoge and Wang Dafeng, who was experienced in construction, took note of the areas that needed reinforcement. Then, they returned to the subdistrict office, hoping for a bicycle while reporting to Director Hu: "The collapsed areas have been cleared, and the broken trees have been moved to a corner. The volunteers have already made 300 adobe bricks. They used yellow mud and grass from the yellow mud pond north of the night school. These will be used to reinforce the night school wall. As for the tiles and bricks for the roof, they will use the broken bricks and tiles piled on the walls of the night school. In another week, the roof and walls will be basically repaired."

Although Director Hu felt that it was a waste of manpower and material resources to repair the roof of the night school that no one was using, he also didn't want to see the houses in the jurisdiction collapse. After seeing it, he was worried about what to do. Now, Qiao Ge has organized people to start work. Although Xiaoze came home covered in dust these days, he never complained about the hard work. It seems that this kid is full of energy.

Lao Hu believes that all these volunteers are like this.

He was touched. Of course, it was not because he was reluctant to see his son work so hard, but because the volunteers did not receive any benefits, and it felt a bit difficult to justify such selfless dedication.

"Qiao Ge, don't worry. We need to balance work and rest. No matter what, these people have no salary and no staff, which means that if they get injured or sick, no one will reimburse them. We still need to be careful."

Lu Qiaoge was just waiting for Lao Hu to bring up this matter.

However, she did not immediately put forward her own ideas. Instead, she thought for a while before saying sincerely, "Director Hu, you are really thoughtful. We just wanted to do a good job at the service station and live up to the encouragement and support of the leaders, but we didn't think about this aspect. Your reminder is very timely."

Old Hu smiled broadly, enjoying the news, but he still praised Lu Qiaoge: "I heard from Xiaoze that you appointed the steady Meng Qingshan as the team leader. Wang Dafeng is more like a technician, and Zhou Li used to be a barefoot doctor in the countryside. You asked her to be in charge of the health and medical aspects of the service station. Hu Ze has good penmanship, so he will be responsible for recording your work content... Qiaoge, I really didn't expect this service station, despite its small size, to have all the necessary facilities."

Lu Qiaoge was humble again, then said, "Director Hu, I'll think about the question you just raised. This service station needs to be sustainable, not just a flash in the pan. After all, everyone is volunteering, and it's normal for them to find jobs and leave the service station. But as long as we persevere, new volunteers will continue to join. I'll go home and think about it, and report back to you tomorrow morning."

Director Hu nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Qiaoge already had a plan in mind, but she needed to report to Lao Hu tomorrow. She couldn't be the first to do everything, especially since she was a newcomer.

If the Lu family's conditions were not so bad and survival was not imminent, she would not be so anxious.

But Lu Qiaoge still had something to tell Old Hu: "Director Hu, the other day I mentioned the plan we had for Xiangyang Subdistrict Office to serve the people. Have you submitted it?" Old Hu slammed the table and said, "Qiaoge, I was just about to tell you. Captain Lin from Guzitun called the Subdistrict Office and asked if we needed any more leafy greens. Not only has Guzitun received a new batch, but other villages and towns have plenty too. Now they've added water radishes, and they're asking if we can exchange them for some of the supplies the members desperately need."

Lu Qiaoge knew that Captain Lin would not give up, but he did not expect that he would wait for more than half a month before coming.

What she didn't know was that Lao Lin had wanted to come a long time ago. He went back that day and drove the carriage to President Zhu's house and gave President Zhu the rain boots that Meng Xia had given him.

President Zhu accepted the rain boots, but gave his raincoat to Lao Lin.

Lao Zhu's rain boots had leaked a long time ago, and it was as good as not wearing them at all. Although his raincoat was half-worn, it could still be used. Lao Zhu also gave Lao Lin a can of tea for him to use as a treat.

Everyone is happy with this change.

The main reason was that Lao Zhu was a little jealous when he saw the things in the carriage, so he praised Lao Lin and hoped that he could keep up the good work.

You have to know that the military factory is the largest factory in Jiangcheng and is directly under the management of the state. Now they are interested in our leafy vegetables. Not to mention exchanging them for something else, they would even be willing to give the worthless leafy vegetables to the military factory for free.

Because this factory is used to protect the people and build national defense.

So, everyone is waiting for Lu Qiaoge to go again.

But Lu Qiaoge was too busy.

As a last resort, Lao Lin called Lao Hu.

Lao Hu said, "I'll apply for the big market right away."

This can be organized by the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office, as long as the higher-ups agree.

Today, the street office is still the street office of the military factory. Logically, it should be a government agency, but in recent years it has been directly taken over by the leadership team of the military factory.

Lao Hu’s superior is the General Affairs Office of the Factory.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, let's prepare for both scenarios. If internal trade in supplies isn't allowed, we can just hold another green vegetable exchange. This time, we don't need to borrow a vehicle from the transport team; we can just ask the team leader to provide the carriage."

Old Hu glanced at Lu Qiaoge and remembered that Captain Jin had secretly asked him when he would go to exchange for some leafy vegetables.

At this moment, Shao Le's voice came from the corridor: "It's okay, no need to go to the hospital, I can take some medicine myself."

Hey, what happened?

Lu Qiaoge picked up his diary and put it in his bag, then stood at the door and looked over.

Shao Le walked in from outside, covering his face and grinning. When he saw Lu Qiaoge, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Lu, you are at work, this is great."

When he let go, Lu Qiaoge saw two bloody marks on Shao Le's right cheek...
