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 a large mass of dark clouds quietly rose up into the sky in the distance.

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 that it was comparable to a weather satellite.

You know, our country’s meteorological satellite has not yet been launched into space.

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 really thought about it and met with the union chairman and the factory women's federation. There are actually a few suitable ones."

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 for 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-in-arms.

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

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

At this point, Director Hao lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think Lu Qiaoge and Representative Qin are a good match?"

Director Hao had an inexplicable intuition that these two people had extremely similar auras.

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

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

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

At this time, Lu Qiage didn't know that the factory director and the secretary were talking about her behind her back. She and the tabby cat entered the yard one after the other.

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 quarrel? ]

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

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

Lu Qiaoge closed the door.

Old Lu, who usually works overtime and comes home late, obviously came back early today. He sat under a big tree, frowning and wondering 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 smell 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 Mrs. Lu didn't look very well, and Meng Xia was the worst off.

Just now I heard Meng Xia's loud voice which she tried to keep down.

Lu Qiaoge lifted the curtain and entered the kitchen, and 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 very sadly.

"Qiao Ge is 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 paper box to the ground: "Your wife didn't mean that, then what did she mean? She has been pregnant for a long time. Why didn't you say it earlier or later, but your father said it when he got back the recruitment form? Come on, Lu Zhiguo, tell me, who should this recruitment quota be given to? Your wife is pregnant, she doesn't have a job yet, and your family needs a mouth to feed, and you are still a temporary worker, with no tomorrow. This job is most suitable for you, is 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 have to say it now? Why can't you say it in a few days?"

Lu Qiaoling pushed open the window and cried, "Okay, stop pretending and making indirect accusations. You are just telling me what to do. I don't really need this quota, but you can't just assume that I'm not qualified. You are just patriarchal and think that I'm the most important. If you want to give it to me, then give it to me. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you guys teaming up to put on a show with me?"

Meng Xia got angry and scolded Lu Qiaoling: "You have no conscience. When did your father and I ever favor boys over girls? We are all human beings. Tell me, honestly, when did we ever treat you and your sister wrongly? You insisted on taking your grandmother with you when you went to the countryside. 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 to find a partner. She just lived at home like this, occupying a room all by herself. Did your father and I say anything?"

Lu Qiaoge: ...

How does this have anything to do with her?

Su Hui cried so 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 is still the same Lu Qiaoge, and her voice is still sweet, Meng Xia inexplicably feels that her second daughter suddenly has 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 looked at it, and it turned out to be a recruitment quota form.

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

But obviously I can’t say that now.

"I was planning to hold a family meeting to discuss this when you come back. There are three unemployed people in our family..."

Lu Qiaoge interrupted unceremoniously: "Dad, is there an age limit for the recruitment quota?"

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 does not distinguish between men and women. Anyone over 18 and 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 his eyes: "Mom, the fourth person I was talking about is you. You can definitely take this recruitment quota."

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

Can she be counted as one?

This was something she dared not even think about.
