Chapter 57: Small but Complete
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
No benefits but rewards?
Will all efforts be rewarded?
Is this what you think it means?
But Lu Qiaoge did not continue this topic, but stopped there. She believed that these twelve people were not stupid and would understand what she meant.
Xiangyang Night School is a bungalow located in an old housing area and has been vacant for seven or eight years.
This used to be a literacy class and later became a night school. When the factory was first established, the workers were either retired soldiers or advanced elements who were recruited. Their general educational level was very low and they basically obtained primary school or junior high school diplomas here.
It’s a shame to leave it like this.
When Lu Qiaoge was strolling around the yard with his tabby cat, he took a fancy to this place.
But unexpectedly, it collapsed on a rainy night.
But it's not serious, just a house on the west side collapsed.
Lu Qiage walked around carefully and couldn't help but sigh that the house was built so well, without any cutting of corners, and it was so solid.
As for the collapsed area, it was caused by a large tree next to the house being broken by the wind and pressing down on the roof.
The big tree has been processed and is placed in the corner.
Lu Qiage was not planning to invite any outside help. As the service station had just been established, it was necessary to achieve some results and build a reputation.
Lu Qiaoge and Wang Dafeng, who was very experienced in construction, made a record of the places that needed reinforcement. Then they returned to the street office, hoping to get a bicycle while reporting to Director Hu: "The collapsed places have been cleared, and the broken trees have been carried to the corners. The volunteers have made 300 adobe bricks. The yellow mud and broken grass were dug from the yellow mud pond north of the night school. This will be used to reinforce the night school wall. As for the tiles and bricks on the roof, the broken bricks and tiles piled on the night school wall will be used. In another week, the roof and wall will be basically repaired."
Although Director Hu felt that it was a waste of manpower and material resources to repair the roof of an unused night school, he did not want to see the houses in the jurisdiction collapse. He was worried about what to do after seeing it. Now, Qiao Ge has organized people to start the work. Although Xiaoze came home covered in dust these days, he did not complain about the hard work. It seems that this kid is full of energy.
Lao Hu believes that all these volunteers are like this.
He was touched. Of course, it was not because he was reluctant to see his son work so hard, but the volunteers did not receive any benefits, and he felt a little guilty about making such selfless contributions.
"Qiao Ge, don't worry. We need to combine work and rest. No matter what, these people have no salary and no staff, which means that if they get injured or sick, no one will reimburse them. We still need to be careful."
Lu Qiaoge was just waiting for Old Hu to bring up this matter.
However, she did not immediately put forward her ideas. Instead, she thought for a while before she said sincerely, "Director Hu, you are really thoughtful. We just wanted to do a good job in the service station and live up to the encouragement and support of the leaders, but we didn't think that your reminder in this regard was too timely."
Old Hu smiled and was very pleased, but he still praised Lu Qiaoge: "I heard from Xiaoze that you let the steady Meng Qingshan be the team leader, Wang Dafeng is similar to a technician, Zhou Li was a barefoot doctor in the countryside, you let her be in charge of the health and medicine of the service station, Hu Ze has good penmanship, so he will be responsible for recording your work content...Qiaoge, I really didn't expect that this service station, although small, has everything."
Lu Qiaoge was modest again, and then said, "Director Hu, I will think about the question you just raised. This service station needs to be run for a long time and cannot be a flash in the pan. After all, everyone is volunteering. It is normal to find a job and leave the service station in the future. But as long as you stick to it, there will be new volunteers joining in continuously. I will go home and think about it and report to you tomorrow morning."
Director Hu nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Qiaoge already had a plan in mind, but she needed to report to Lao Hu tomorrow. She couldn't be the first to do everything, especially since she was a newcomer.
If the Lu family's conditions were not bad and survival was not imminent, she would not be so anxious.
But Lu Qiaoge still had something to say to Old Hu: "Director Hu, have you reported the plan I mentioned to you a few days ago about organizing our Xiangyang Subdistrict Office to serve the people?"
Old Hu slammed the table and said, "Qiao Ge, I was just about to tell you that Captain Lin from Guzitun called the subdistrict office and asked if we needed any more leafy vegetables. Not only did Guzitun have another batch, but other villages and towns also had a lot. Now they have added water radishes, and asked if we could exchange some more for the urgently needed supplies for the members."
Lu Qiaoge knew that Captain Lin would not give up, but he did not expect that he would have to wait for more than half a month before coming.
What she didn't know was that Lao Lin had wanted to come a long time ago. He went back that day and drove the carriage to President Zhu's house and gave President Zhu the rain boots that Meng Xia had given him.
President Zhu accepted the rain boots, but gave his raincoat to Lao Lin.
Lao Zhu's rain boots had leaked a long time ago, and it was just as good as not wearing anything. Although his raincoat was half-worn, it could still be used. Lao Zhu also gave Lao Lin a can of tea for him to use for entertaining.
With this change, everyone is happy.
The main reason was that Lao Zhu was a little jealous when he saw the things in the carriage, so he praised Lao Lin and hoped that he could keep up the good work.
You have to know that the military factory is the largest factory in Jiangcheng and is directly under the management of the state. Now they have taken a fancy to our leafy vegetables. Not to mention exchanging them for other things, they would even be willing to give the worthless leafy vegetables to the military factory for free.
Because this factory is used to protect the people and build national defense.
So, everyone is waiting for Lu Qiaoge to go again.
But Lu Qiaoge was too busy.
As a last resort, Lao Lin called Lao Hu.
Lao Hu said, "I will apply for the big fair right away."
This can be organized by the Xiangyang Sub-district Office, as long as the higher-ups agree.
Today, the street office is still the street office of the military factory. Logically, it should be a government agency, but in recent years it has been directly taken over by the leadership team of the military factory.
Lao Hu’s superior is the General Affairs Office of the Factory.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, let's prepare for both situations. If internal trade of supplies is not allowed, we can hold another green leafy vegetable exchange for supplies. This time, we don't need to borrow a vehicle from the transport team. We can just ask the team leader to provide the carriage."
Old Hu glanced at Lu Qiaoge and remembered that Captain Jin had secretly asked him when he would go to exchange some leafy vegetables.
At this moment, Shao Le's voice came from the corridor: "It's okay, no need to go to the hospital, I can just take some medicine myself."
Hey, what happened?
Lu Qiaoge picked up her diary and put it in her bag, then stood at the door and looked over.
Shao Le walked in from outside, covering his face and grinning. When he saw Lu Qiaoge, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Lu, you are at work, this is great."
When he let go, Lu Qiaoge saw two bloody scratches on Shao Le's right cheek...
