Chapter 446 Opportunity
What kind of person is Lu Qiaoge?
When she makes you feel that she is not easy to deal with, she will exude a cold and distant aura, making you think twice before opening your mouth to talk to her, wondering whether what you say will make her unhappy.
But when she thinks you are a nice person, you will feel that talking to her is like a spring breeze. Even if you are cautious at first, you will unknowingly let down your guard.
This is a unique affinity that belongs to Lu Qiaoge.
The brother and sister are very simple and honest. It’s not that they are wary, but they feel nervous when talking to a city person like Lu Qiaoge.
But now the two of them are not nervous at all.
Little brother Zhao, who had been keeping his head down, also raised his head and, mustering up the courage, said, "My sister...my sister is very skillful. She can weave so many...many things with corn leaves."
These two people still don't know who Lu Qiaoge is.
The guard next to him was a familiar figure to Lu Qiaoge. He was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Do you two know the handicraft factory of Xiangyang Subdistrict Office?"
Zhao Xiaoman's heart immediately jumped. She was very smart, and she knew from the guard's words that this young girl in front of her might be related to the handicraft factory.
She nodded. "I know, I know. They even went to our village to announce that the handicraft factory was recruiting craftsmen who could weave things."
The guard continued, "That's right. Our handicraft factory was founded by Comrade Lu, who is standing before you. Although she's not the factory director, she's in charge of both the food factory and the handicraft factory."
The guard had already brought up the point, so Lu Qiaoge didn't want to beat around the bush with the brother and sister in this cold wind. He asked directly, "Sister Xiaoman, was what your brother just said true?"
Zhao Xiaoman's heart started pounding, but he nodded without thinking: "My brother didn't lie. I can make up stories. Grandma Huang from the village taught me. I've been able to do it since I was a child."
"How about this, when you get home, use your free time to weave some corn leaf weaving that you're good at. Anything is fine. There's no limit here. Shao Le and I will go together on your wedding day."
After a pause, Lu Qiaoge suddenly asked, "You knew there was a job posting here, so why didn't you come?"
In fact, Lu Qiaoge knew why she didn't come.
She was worried about her younger siblings.
Since we can't take them out, we have to stay together.
Anyway, as long as she can live safely, she will be content.
Then there is Wu Ming.
This honest and simple young man protected her since she was a child and even helped her deal with Old Beggar Zhao.
He was once beaten by Zhao Laolaizi.
Fortunately, the Wu family has many brothers, and Wu Ming's parents are not vegetarians.
Lu Qiaoge analyzed that it might be due to these combined factors that she did not sign up.
Based on her level, the factory will definitely hire her.
But now Lu Qiaoge wanted to hear what she had to say.
Zhao Xiaoman didn't say that she did it for her younger siblings, nor did she say that she did it for Wu Ming.
But she didn't say that she was timid and didn't dare to come out.
I was a little embarrassed to say, "I heard it was straw weaving. Although straw weaving is similar to corn leaves, I have tried it and the feel is different. I thought I would practice it this year. If there is still a job opportunity, I would like to give it a try."
What a smart girl.
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "You don't need to practice straw weaving now, just focus on corn leaves." Then he stamped his feet and said, "Since you don't want to come in, it's so cold, you should go home quickly."
Zhao Xiaoman said to Lu Qiaoge gratefully, "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Lu, for giving me this opportunity. Thank you, thank you."
One should know what is good and what is bad.
Even if she doesn't come in the end, if the other party needs corn leaf woven products, she will give them all to her.
It can also be considered as helping my elder brother to establish good relationships.
Lu Qiaoge did not help Shao Le take the two full bags of noodles to the street office.
It’s better to let him get it himself.
Lu Qiaoge got in the car and, without waiting for Lao Hu to ask, told him about his conversation with Zhao Xiaoman. "I don't know how good her craftsmanship is, but our straw handicrafts are now exported to foreign countries and have stable orders. Jiangcheng is also the province with the largest corn planting area, and farmers use corn leaves for firewood. If we can really turn waste into treasure, maybe we can open a branch of our handicraft factory."
Lao Hu hesitated: "Can corn leaf weaving be exported?"
"If straw weaving can be exported, why not corn leaves? As long as it's well woven, anything can be exported."
Old Hu thought about it and it made sense.
"But can corn leaves be used to make cattail fans? Corn leaves seem softer and don't have the toughness of jinjin grass."
"Don't you notice that the texture of corn husks is similar to the petals of a lotus flower?"
"How can it be made into flowers?" Lao Hu couldn't imagine that scene, but he also felt that even if he made it, he couldn't sell it.
"This is just one example. Any straw-woven product can also be made with corn leaves. The only difference is the raw materials. Just like cattail leaf fans, some are made of straw and some are made of bamboo. Of course, we have to make high-quality products and then we have to get orders."
Old Hu blinked his eyes.
It is normal for a food factory to open a branch factory because instant noodles are already famous all over the world.
But handicrafts are actually very unknown.
If it weren't for Zhen Xi's support at the beginning, it would have been impossible to do it.
Sometimes even the best wine needs to be hidden if it isn’t well known.
Lu Qiaoge said slowly, "Of course, this is just an idea of mine. We'll have to wait until Zhao Xiaoman's corn husk handicraft is ready before we make any plans."
Suddenly remembering something, Lao Hu said, "Since you're going to attend Zhao Xiaoman's wedding, that's perfect. You can help our neighborhood office give some money."
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, Shao Le has always been very good. If someone has a problem, he will be the first one to go, even if he doesn't tell them.
But he really didn't tell the people in the street office about such a big event as his sister's marriage.
Maybe I don’t even know how to start.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, this depends on your willingness. Let's not force it, otherwise Shao Le will feel even more ashamed."
"I know how to do it."
After returning home, Lao Hu told Huang Juan about this.
Nowadays, the gifts given as gifts are not that big. Usually, people give thermoses, washbasins, towels, mirrors and the like. Even if it is a gift, it can be as much as five yuan or as little as fifty cents.
Huang Juan said, "Let's just put them together and buy something practical for Zhao Xiaoman."
Lu Qiaoge agreed with this point.
When Shao Le learned that his sister from the countryside had sent him something, he went to the gatekeeper to get both bags back.
Both bags were tied with twine and contained the same contents.
But he still carried the two bags to Shao's house with great effort.
In fact, he rarely goes to the Shao family now.
Once when I went there, I happened to see Shao Yonggang arguing with his wife.
The woman was also very powerful. She told Shao Yonggang with gritted teeth that if he wanted to abandon her, divorce her, live a good life in the city, and drive her back to the countryside, it was impossible!
Thanks to caroletu, I am Xiaoyue and Xinpiaobo babies for the rewards, and thanks to the babies for the monthly tickets and recommendations. I never thought that this book could be written until today. I am very grateful to my babies, and I sincerely wish them all their wishes come true and a happy weekend!
Love you!
