Chapter 412: Pioneer in Earning Foreign Exchange
Boss Fan and his wife had no choice but to step forward and help Li Cuizhi up from the ground.
After everyone left, Fan Xiaoyu held Lu Qiaoge's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Lu Qiaoge patted the back of her hand gently and said gently, "Work hard and don't let irrelevant people and things interfere with your own path."
Fan Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.
Lu Qiaoge was particularly pleased with the dozen or so people who had followed her from the beginning and had persisted until now. They were now serious about their work, willing to endure hardships, and hard work, and they were making progress every day.
They were like soldiers. Once she gave an order, they would carry it out without hesitation, with a sincere heart that was willing to die for their friend.
——
In Beidu, Mr. Qin specially invited Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng to his home for dinner.
Lu Yun was now allowed to stay at the Command Academy as an exception to continue her studies, having not yet completed them. All her benefits were restored, and she was also compensated.
Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng originally felt embarrassed to disturb them, but Qin Lang, the second uncle of the Qin family, came to pick them up in person, so Lu Yun had no choice but to take a car to Qin's house.
When they were almost at the gate of the Qin family's house, Qin Lang pointed to an empty house at the back and said, "That's where the Cao family used to live. They've all moved out now."
Lu Yun nodded and said nothing more.
Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and Cao Jing has long lost the possibility of reforming himself.
Grandma Qin pulled Lu Yun aside affectionately to chat about family matters.
Qin Feng and Bai Jinyan were also home. They no longer went to the base, instead staying home to sort through the data from the past few years. Occasionally, they spoke to their son on the phone, and knowing that he and Qiao Ge got along well was reassuring. As for their marriage, while they both hoped they would soon start a family, they would not interfere, leaving it entirely up to their own wishes.
However, as Lu Yun is Lu Qiaoge's second aunt and an elder, the Qin family still clearly expressed their attitude: that is, their Qin family is ready to arrange a marriage for their son at any time, which is also meant to reassure the woman.
Old Master Qin was quite open-minded. He knew his eldest grandson's character very well. Once that guy set his eyes on someone, he would never let go unless his life came to an end.
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "We listen to the children in everything. They're busy with work right now, especially Qiao Ge, and we can't let her be distracted by household matters. But we've already made all the necessary preparations at home. It's just that Hengzhi is currently serving as the military representative stationed at the factory, and unless there are special circumstances, he must serve for a full five years. Furthermore, the project he's leading is at a critical stage, so he may not be able to be transferred back to Beidu in the short term. If the two children want to get married, I'm afraid they'll have to settle down in Jiangcheng for the time being."
Lu Yun nodded, that was indeed the truth.
Grandma Qin continued, "Their work unit will definitely allocate housing for them, and we've already prepared all the necessary supplies. But we wanted to arrange a new house for them in Beidu in advance, and furnish it properly, so that they can have a home in Beidu."
Lu Yun smiled and said, "Auntie, you are so thoughtful."
Old Master Qin continued, "The marital home is the marital home, but I still hope they can live in the compound so it will be more convenient for them to get things done."
Bai Jinyan quickly added, "Of course, it ultimately depends on what Qiao Ge and Heng Zhi want. We won't interfere."
Before coming here, Lu Yun had harbored a lingering worry. Even with her confidence in her niece, she couldn't avoid this worry. Young people often view people and things through a veil of idealism, but at her age, she possessed a greater degree of scrutiny and a deeper understanding of human nature.
Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize that I was worrying too much.
Mr. Qin's family has always been open and honest. If they like something, they like it. If they don't like something, they will never be hypocritical or polite. They will make their attitude clear to their children.
At their level, there is no need to do such a thing.
After dinner at the Qin family, Qin Lang drove the two back to the family area of the Command Academy.
Based on the actual situation, the college allocated Lu Yun a dormitory on the fifth floor behind the family housing area. Although the room was not large, it was enough for her and Chen Liangsheng to live in for the time being.
Chen Liangsheng asked gently, "After this trip, you should be completely relieved, right?"
Lu Yun nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am relieved."
Chen Liangsheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's been five years since I last went to Jiangcheng. The last time I went, Zhiguo had just graduated from junior high school and was still a naughty boy running around the streets. Now he's about to become a father. Qiao Ge had just started junior high school, Qiao Ling was in elementary school, and Xiao Si was weak and skinny, sitting on a bench. He was so well-behaved that it made me feel distressed."
He sighed softly and said, "It's time for me to go to Jiangcheng. Xiaoyun, what are your plans?"
Lu Yun thought for a moment and said seriously, "Looking at the current situation, people are placing more and more emphasis on learning. I plan to complete the course and get my diploma."
Chen Liangsheng nodded: "My old leader talked to me about it. The Northwest Base has an office in Beidu, and he plans to transfer me there to work."
Lu Yun raised her bright eyes and looked at the frail, gray-haired Chen Liangsheng. Thinking of the past, the handsome yet shy young Chen Liangsheng seemed to reappear before her eyes.
At that time, the Command Academy and the Petroleum Institute were not far from each other. At a social gathering, she met Chen Liangsheng and learned that Chen Liangsheng's home was not far from Jiangcheng. After a few visits, the two fell in love, and less than a month after their marriage, she left Beidu.
The two had originally agreed that they would return to school to teach after working for a period of time.
Both of them were top students, and the school needed people like them to train more students. Who could have imagined that she would be gone for twenty years...
When she regained her memory, she never imagined that Chen Liangsheng had never remarried. Not only that, after learning about her, he actually abandoned everything and traveled across the ocean to find her.
They were together for less than two years, but separated for a full twenty years.
Lu Yun reached out her hand and slowly hugged Chen Liangsheng, saying with a choked voice, "I hope everything is still in time."
Chen Liangsheng's voice was filled with laughter as he said meaningfully, "Of course it's in time. It's too late. Everything is just right."
——
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.
After layers of selection, Lu Qiage was named an advanced worker, model worker, and foreign exchange earning pioneer of the 516 Military Factory.
This "Foreign Exchange Earning Pioneer" award is quite interesting, it's specially awarded by the Beijing Foreign Trade Bureau. I heard the selection process only started this year.
However, due to some reasons, the commendation meeting was not held specifically. The document was issued from Beidu, allowing the leaders of the units to hold a commendation meeting themselves.
This commendation meeting will be held after the commendation meetings of various departments in the factory.
——
Thanks to the joint efforts of all workers and leaders, Xiangyang Food Factory has successfully shipped three train cars of instant noodles, including straw products made by the handicraft factory.
At the subdistrict office, having a thousand yuan in the account at the end of each year—enough to give commended comrades a towel or a large teacup—was considered quite a good thing. But this year, Old Hu stared at the long string of zeros at the end of the account book for a long time without blinking.
