Chapter 25 Beautifully done
Gu Wenbo did not expect it to be so smooth, and the transport team did not suffer any loss, but on the contrary made a profit, because there were not only green leafy vegetables but also half a basket of eggs.
And obviously, the street office plans to digest the remaining eggs internally.
Gu Wenbo was completely relieved. Qiao Ge did a great job. She didn't try to take credit for anything when there was a lot of noise and people around. After the family members had left, she came to help clean up and arranged trivial matters without making a fuss.
Who does this personality resemble? I remember that my uncle and Lu Zhiguo were not like this.
Gu Wenbo drove away with peace of mind.
At this time, Director Hu and others had already invited Lao Lin in for tea.
Lao Lin was still very nervous when he saw so many cadres.
He said he had to go back and distribute things to the members, so Huang Juan took the papers written by Lu Qiaoling and started to reconcile the accounts with the things received by the street office.
It looks complicated, but it is actually very simple because there are only a lot of daily necessities.
In the end, a whole carriage was filled with matches. Apart from anything else, Lao Lin felt that just for matches, the people in Guzitun would basically not need to buy them for half a year.
There are also soy sauce, vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, and packets of salt.
These are things that the members cannot afford.
The street office was generous and gave him some extra daily necessities. He didn't know what to say to thank them.
But he was thanked repeatedly by the cadres of the street office and invited to have tea. Lao Lin felt very proud and touched.
There were still family members who had just received the news rushing to the subdistrict office, but the trucks had all left.
With Director Hu around, it’s hard to complain. After all, supplies were scarce those days and you had to snatch things to buy.
Lu Qiaoge saw Director Hu and Huang Juan talking together. She walked over and said with a smile, "Two leaders, my mission is completed. If there are no problems, I will go home after sending Captain Lin out of the compound."
Naturally, it was the leader, Lao Hu, who spoke up. He smiled and said, "Qiao Ge, you can send the captain out, but come over in the afternoon when you're at work and we can talk."
Lu Qiaoge glanced at the street office cadres who were looking at her with a smile, nodded obediently, got on the captain's carriage and drove towards the gate.
When Lu Qiaoge returned home, it was also time to get off work. Whenever she met acquaintances on the way, they would stop to talk to her.
"Qiao Ge, next time we change the dishes, you must remember to tell your aunt that I held you in my arms when you were a child."
"When you came to my house to play, I gave you candy. If you do this again, you must tell me in advance..."
Lu Qiaoge always responded with a smile.
When you are at the gate of the street office, try to reduce your presence as much as possible.
It's enough for those cadres to know what she did.
But in private, there is no need to be hypocritical.
But she was still smiling and very well-behaved: "Aunts, just remember to listen to the notice from the street office. But if I knew in advance, I would let my mother tell you."
"What if you don't change it in the future?"
Lu Qiaoge's eyes flickered slightly, and he said firmly: "It won't be changed. As long as there are not enough green leafy vegetables in our family compound, there will be more such activities."
Just now at the gate, she specifically reminded Lao Lin that he could go to the commune and report today's situation to the president. The commune is so big, there are who knows how many villages under it, and now each household has its own private plot. Especially in the rural areas in the north, where the land is vast and the population is sparse, every household has a large vegetable garden. Now it is also encouraged to raise chickens and ducks, and no one will not grow leafy vegetables.
After hearing this, the neighbors left satisfied.
When Lu Qiage returned home, she was faced with loving gazes from her family members that seemed to want to hug her.
Even Old Mrs. Zhao silently recited "Amitabha bless you" many times in her heart.
It really proves the saying that if you have food at home, you won’t be worried.
The present era is different from the era in Lu Qiage’s memory in many aspects, but the general trend is still similar.
Individuals had not yet appeared, everything was publicly owned, and sales were also planned. Supplies were still in short supply, and grain production had not yet reached the point of a significant increase.
Even if Meng Xia had saved some labor protection supplies and other daily necessities, it would be impossible for her to set up a stall to sell them.
But today, her second daughter actually exchanged for so much food and vegetables.
I didn’t spend a penny, they are all things that I can’t use at home for the time being and can’t be exchanged for money.
Have a simple meal at noon and make dumplings stuffed with leeks for dinner.
She said mysteriously to Old Lady Lu: "I feel that after Qiao Ge broke off the engagement, he became more clear-headed and smarter, and he is sensible and capable. Mom, do you think Liang Aishu is the one who is killing our Qiao Ge?"
Mrs. Lu nodded without thinking: "Yes, it was Liang Aishuke, but this is just between the two of us, don't let others know."
In fact, Lu Qiaoge, who had already heard everything, did not expect that he could come to this conclusion.
Meng Xia went to pick up the vegetables happily. The green leafy vegetables were placed in bundles in the large basket. When she reached the bottom layer, Meng Xia was stunned. There were eggs in it.
"Qiao Ge, come here."
Meng Xia called Lu Qiaoge over as he was about to enter the house, and said with surprise and worry: "Qiaoge, how come there are still eggs here? Does the street office know about this?"
Lu Qiaoge lowered his voice and said, "Captain Lin also exchanged two baskets of eggs for the street office. In fact, on weekdays, members would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell eggs. Each egg was seven cents, and we gave nine cents each. However, Director Hu said that the eggs should be divided last, otherwise they would easily fight."
"As for food, it's not a big deal. Rubber shoes, flashlights, and No. 1 batteries are all what the brigade needs."
Meng Xia felt relieved when she heard that the street office also had eggs.
The Lu family happily packed up the food and more than 30 eggs. Meng Xia went to cook happily. Seeing Su Hui come back, she let her take a rare break.
He also called out to Lu Qiaoge: "Qiaoge, take a break. You have to report to the street office this afternoon. You must be open and aboveboard when the time comes."
It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any expectations. Her second daughter is so capable, she might be admitted.
Lu Qiaoge agreed promptly, washed his face, and went to lie down in the house.
I opened the window at the back and there was a breeze, so it was much cooler.
Lu Qiaoling just peeked in and ran away smiling.
People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
This is indeed true.
Meng Xia looked at the packed storage room and felt a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before.
She feels that today's sky is bluer than yesterday's.
Su Hui was naturally embarrassed to rest, but she was also stunned by the sight of so much food, vegetables and eggs.
These days, these supplies are not so easy to get.
My second sister-in-law is so awesome.
Her family was poor and they couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could they take care of her?
Now that we have so much food, I feel like I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, at the old Liang's house, Lao Liang also asked his wife Qian Li in confusion: "Why didn't I realize that Lu Qiaoge is so capable? Look at what she has done in the past few days, it feels like she is not the same person."
Liang Aishu, who was eating lunch with a gloomy face, did not speak.
But he was obviously distracted...
Every time I open a new book, it’s like opening a blind box. I don’t know what’s inside. That’s why writing is a very emotional profession. But it’s also very happy, especially when I see the support from my dear children. Every time I think to myself, it’s great to have you!
Also, thanks to caroletu and book friend 202103017400531478 for their rewards. Please urge me to update. Today is the third day of PK. I am very nervous...
