Chapter 442 We now have three years of good times
Shao Le dealt with the old deadbeat quickly and efficiently this time, and Lu Qiaoge also looked at him with admiration.
In the future, food factories will need a lot of managers.
This is the cornerstone of her future ambitions. Loyalty is not an easy thing to talk about these days, but the minimum requirement is wholehearted devotion, and her managers must work together as a team.
Therefore, Shao Le is worth cultivating.
Shao Le thanked Lu Qiaoge and reported the matter to his superiors.
Old Hu reassured him: he could continue working as usual; this incident wouldn't affect him. On the contrary, he would even be praised. After all, he was acting for the greater good, so what else could he be praised for?
Shao Le was relieved.
Wu Ming and Xiaoman are in the Wagouzi Brigade. He left some money and things there, and he believes that they will have a good New Year.
As for arranging work and life, he doesn't have that ability now, so naturally he won't tell them, so as not to end up with empty cheer.
Moreover, although he and they are blood relatives, they still cannot get close to each other and there is always a slight distance between them.
We can only let nature take its course and talk about it later.
But in fact, everyone in Wagouzi Brigade was very envious of Wu Ming and Zhao Xiaoman.
Zhao Xiaodi and Zhao Xiaomei did not suffer from hunger and cold because their father was arrested.
Instead, life suddenly became brighter.
You don’t usually see her smile, but at this moment, she has a warm smile on her face.
Although it was still the same shabby thatched hut, Xiaoman and Xiaomei cleaned it up in just one day.
But actually, the house was bare and there was nothing much to clean up, but I was happy anyway.
Without that so-called biological father who is full of evil, does not treat these children as human beings, beats and scolds them every day, is lazy and does not do any work, they would be happy even if they had to beg for food.
The brother who had just been recognized said that this time their father would be sentenced to at least three years.
In other words, they will have three years of good life.
Moreover, if he doesn't behave well in there, his fine will be increased.
But three years is enough for them to do a lot of things.
In three years, they were all over twenty years old.
Xiaoman felt that it was enough time for her younger sister to find a good partner to marry, and her younger brother could also find a capable wife. Her elder brother Shao Le left them 100 yuan, so they could pay off the debt owed by Old Laizi Zhao.
Even so, there is still more than 70 yuan left.
Because several of the Zhao family's brothers and sisters were there, Wu Ming wanted to avoid them, but Zhao's younger brother grabbed him and said sincerely, "Brother Xiaoming, you've helped us a lot over the years. You're just like our real brother."
Wu Ming smiled naively and didn't refuse anymore. Instead, he looked at Xiaoman with a smile on the edge of the kang.
Well, soon this will be his wife.
I am so happy.
Zhao Xiaoman put the money on the kang, next to a pile of things. She said, "Well...our eldest brother said that we can use the money ourselves. I think we should keep it for now. During the Chinese New Year, I will buy some cakes and canned yellow peaches and visit the captain's home.
The team is now short of a scorer. I see that the captain is so polite to my brother, so I think he might make some concessions for his sake. During this period, I will definitely find a good marriage for you.
As for you, little brother, don't worry for now. Work hard in the team. If there's a suitable sister, I'll introduce you to one. We'll try to complete all of this before our dad comes out."
She was already married at that time.
If my younger brothers and sisters all had their own families and relatives around them, they wouldn't have to live in the shadow of Old Laizi Zhao every day.
I won't keep a close eye on him, for I'm worried that he might sell me out if I'm not paying attention.
Because he had this idea more than once.
She just reported it to the commune once, and she didn't dare to mention it again.
Zhao Xiaodi and Zhao Xiaomei usually listen to Zhao Xiaoman, so they had no objections at this time and just listened obediently.
Zhao Xiaoman said like the head of the family: "Save some of these canned meat, sausages and rice for the New Year, and I plan to find someone to exchange the rest for some coarse grains. This way you can last for half a year.
Although my dear brother is good to us, we didn't grow up together. He is married now, so we can't help him in any way and we can't cause him any trouble. Now that he can take care of us like this, really... little brothers and sisters, we should be grateful to my big brother and sister-in-law."
"Second sister, we will listen to whatever you say."
"Not all of it, you've had such a hard time these past few years. This mountain is finally going to be moved away in a few years, so let's have a good New Year. My mother-in-law has a lot of millet and flour to exchange for, so I'll make more bean buns and more dry food.
I thought of sending some to Brother Yonggang as well, as he likes the sticky rice dumplings I make.
My eldest brother also wants to send some, and give them some fungus, mushrooms and dried vegetables that we picked.
What do you say? "
Zhao Xiaodi and Zhao Xiaomei nodded in unison: "Second sister, you have the final say."
Wu Ming was laughing beside him.
My wife is capable.
However, Zhao Xiaomei said sadly, "Brother Yonggang has never come back since he left. Big Brother doesn't want us anymore, right?"
Zhao Xiaoman's expression was gloomy. He said, "We all know what kind of life he's been leading here. He should have had a better future, but it was ruined by our father and mother. It's good that he doesn't hold a grudge against us."
Wu Ming said bluntly, "Looking at your eldest brother's expression, I know that if it wasn't a deliberate mistake back then, Yonggang might not have gone to college."
Shao Yonggang is also very smart and had good academic performance, but his mother may have felt guilty and refused to let him go to school.
Later, when the atmosphere for studying wasn't that strong anymore, I just gave up.
Zhao Xiaomei choked up and said, "He didn't recognize me, and I always thought of him as my brother. Without him and you two sisters to protect me all these years, my parents... I don't know how many times they sold me off."
As he spoke, he began to cry sadly.
Zhao Xiaoman hugged her, patting her back gently, and said, "It's okay. We have three good years now. During these three years, we must be good and become strong, like our big brother. Then, even if old Zhao comes back, he won't dare to do anything to us."
Xiao Cangcang, who was wandering around with nothing to do, also wanted to know about Shao Le's family, so he ran to the Wagouzi Brigade and happened to see this scene. After coming back, he told Lu Qiaoge about it.
Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Zhao Xiaoman...is really amazing!
It is rare that he was able to protect his only sister under such difficult circumstances.
She hopes to give people like this a chance to change their destiny.
But this will have to wait.
——
During the morning meeting, Lu Qiaoge and Lao Hu suggested that before the Spring Festival, an inspection should be carried out on the two residential buildings in District 3 that were affected by the last earthquake, and those with cracks should be stabilized. Although it is winter now and construction cannot be carried out outside, some methods can be found to carry out the work indoors.
Lao Hu felt it was very sudden, but he thought that Lu Qiaoge had discovered the problem.
So he asked Lu Qiaoge, "When do you want to start?"
"Let's do this today. I've noticed that many of the educated youth who worked in the countryside are home for the New Year. Let's form a strike team of educated youth and pay them two yuan a day on a daily basis. They can eat free lunch in the food factory cafeteria, and the food factory will cover the cost."
Lu Qiaoge said proudly.
