Chapter 532 Visit
Tao Suzhi stepped forward, noticing someone approaching. Bai Jinyan had already looked away, turning back to smile at his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"It's good that you came along. I was fine before we got here, but now that we're here, I'm starting to feel a little nervous."
He then sighed and said, "I have to admit it, whether I want to or not, marrying off a daughter-in-law and marrying off a son are indeed quite different."
Tao Suzhi then felt a little better.
He chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you have no experience. The main thing is to see what conditions the woman sets and what she expects of us. But let me tell you, with a young talent like Hengzhi, do you think any woman would make demands of us?"
Bai Jinyan quickly shook his head: "She doesn't talk much. A girl like Qiao Ge, you say, is a blessing for our Qin family to marry her into our family, right?"
Upon hearing Bai Jinyan speak, Aunt Qin instinctively looked around, initially thinking that Lu Qiaoge was standing right behind her.
There was no one behind him, so was that really what Bai Jinyan thought?
Aunt Qin didn't say anything about this.
Whether Bai Jinyan said it on purpose for someone else to hear or she really thought it that way, it didn't matter to her.
However, she did have some reservations about Lu Qiaoge's current job, mainly because she was worried that the political climate might change and implicate the Qin family and herself. To be honest, things had reached a point where they really couldn't afford to be implicated.
On the one hand, she did have selfish motives.
After all, she has three children.
My eldest son will graduate from university this year and will be assigned a job soon.
She has already found a job, and she is quite satisfied with it.
If the winds change, I'll definitely be implicated by Lu Qiaoge.
The reason I followed them here was to see how well Lu Qiaoge had established herself here...
As for the meeting between the two families, that's really their own business. Even if she goes along, she won't offer any opinions; she has that much self-awareness.
So he smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as the two kids agree, everything else is a small matter."
Bai Jinyan immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's exactly the point."
Tao Suzhi asked with concern, "Do you want to go back to the compound?"
Bai Jinyan's expression was somewhat complicated. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No rush."
…………
Qin Hengzhi knew where his grandparents used to live.
However, the houses there were demolished long ago, and now it's the First Machinery Factory.
A large factory area, except for that one familiar big pine tree, all the other scenes I remembered are gone.
The old man stood by the roadside, his hands behind his back, and spoke to Lu Qiaoge and the others with a smile on his face.
“Back then, we lived at the very end of the alley in front. I remember it very clearly. There was a crank well, a crabapple tree, and a set of stone tables and benches in the courtyard.”
"Back then, this place was just a cluster of low, dilapidated bungalows. Whenever it rained, the roads would be flooded. The people living here were also a mixed bunch, really all sorts of people from all walks of life."
It was arguably the most chaotic place in the city back then.
They needed a place like this to conceal their identities at the time.
Surprisingly, because of its organized operation, they are quite safe living in such places.
Returning to this place, who would have thought that after more than a decade of development, it has now become the largest machinery factory in northern China?
Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi remained silent. At such a moment, there was no need to speak; simply listening quietly was sufficient.
When they visited Xiangyang Food Factory together, the old man was actually shocked.
It's astonishing that a food factory established less than a year ago has grown to such a large scale, recouped its entire investment, and is now profitable.
Although the old man already knew that Xiangyang Food Factory was the largest food factory in the north.
However, it is still under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Subdistrict Office.
The small factories run by the neighborhood committee generally give the impression of being workshops.
Even if you do it well and grow it to a large scale, at most it's just a small workshop becoming a large workshop.
But who could have imagined it?
In May, Wuhan sheds its chill and comes alive once again.
The azure sky was crystal clear, and fluffy white clouds drifted leisurely by.
The roadside trees are sprouting lush green leaves, the willow branches sway gently, and a breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and trees brushes against your face, cool and pleasant.
It seemed as if the whole earth was bathed in the fresh and bright spring sunshine.
The Xiangyang Food Factory has a large area, with rows of neat factory buildings shaded by green trees, and inspiring slogans written on the red brick walls.
Contrary to the imagined atmosphere of a noisy military industrial environment, the further you go in, the more a warm and unique fragrance gradually fills the air.
It was the fragrance of wheat mixed with the caramelized aroma of vegetable oils.
Tao Suzhi looked around in surprise.
In terms of atmosphere, Xiangyang Food Factory was simply ahead of its time.
As far as she knew, the slogan on the red wall at the entrance was proposed at a meeting in late April.
This has already become a promotional slogan in food factories.
In addition to Lu Qiaoge, Meng Qingshan, Zhou Li, Sister Zhao, Lu Qiaoling, and others, the food factory also sent Deputy Factory Director Xu, who had recently taken office, to accompany them.
This is an extremely intelligent person.
We're here to cooperate with the work.
Of course, he soon discovered that the management model here was different from that of other factories.
How should I put it? This factory always gives people a sense of vitality.
Aunt Qin looked at him.
I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
Qin Ershu, who was walking with her, said in a low voice, "That's the nephew of Director Xu of the logistics department at a research institute in Beidu."
Tao Suzhi was somewhat surprised.
Then she keenly noticed that the factory's cadres treated Lu Qiaoge with both respect and kindness.
She went to see the old man again.
He gave a dismissive smirk.
Need I say more?
Isn't it all just because of the old man's face?
I really regret coming here.
Factory Director Hao and Secretary He naturally accompanied them throughout the entire process.
No one paid attention to Tao Suzhi's little scheme.
Lu Qiaoge paid no attention to the strange expression on Qin Hengzhi's second aunt's face.
With a broad smile, she led the way into the spacious No. 1 factory building, where a smoothly operating production line came into view.
The machines hummed rhythmically, and the workers, dressed in uniform white coats, hats, and masks, were focused and busy at their respective work stations.
Of course, some workshops are not open to visitors.
However, he gained a clear understanding of Xiangyang Food Factory, which Lu Qiaoge founded, and Xiangyang brand instant noodles.
Uncle Qin, in particular, never expected that a food factory could give people such a modern and sophisticated feeling.
How should I put it?
This seems like something that should appear in a movie.
But now it has appeared in Jiangcheng.
He felt the trip was worthwhile, and many of his thoughts might change after he returned.
Lu Yun walked to the side, glancing at Tao Suzhi, whose expression held a hint of disdain, and then at Qin Hengzhi's parents, who were all smiles and looking proud. Recalling what she had seen and heard at the Sheng family in Nanyang, she didn't find it hard to understand.
There will always be people like this in the world.
They have their own way of thinking.
Only watch what you want to watch, and listen to what you want to listen to.
Lu Yun glanced at her niece again.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, her niece was completely unaffected.
That calm and composed demeanor is so endearing!
Thank you for the monthly votes, my darlings! Thank you for pointing out the errors! Love you all!
