Chapter 592 Instead of going to school, why not herd ducks and geese?
Lu Qiaoge's eyes lit up.
Oh dear, if the porcelain order goes through, it'll be another bonus.
"Mr. Chu, I will report to my superiors now, and someone will contact you shortly."
Lu Qiaoge called Director Lü.
Director Lü naturally thought there was no problem, as he worked in this field.
Moreover, all of Lu Qiaoge's trade transactions are currently on the export list, so there will be no disputes or trouble caused by this, and she won't even need to go to higher authorities for approval.
Everything went very smoothly.
Lu Qiaoge put down the phone, checked the time, and prepared to return to the subdistrict office.
However, before going back, I talked to Lao Zhou about porcelain and counterfeit cultural relics.
If Jiangcheng can do it, then do it; if they can't, then don't force it. Leave the professional work to the professional factories.
After all, it's for export.
We can't ruin our own brand.
Moreover, it would be a waste if the firing was unsuccessful.
Because this is somewhat different from straw-woven handicrafts.
Old Zhou smiled and said to Lu Qiaoge, "It has been separately approved from above. As long as the contract is successfully signed, the bonus will come from the Foreign Trade Department."
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Thank you for the opportunity, leader."
Old Zhou waved his hand: "Don't be so polite with me, this is what you deserve. And don't care what others say, whoever is capable gets the bonus, we're all transparent about that."
Lu Qiaoge knew, of course, that quite a few people were jealous of her.
Even in the last two days, Xiao Gu's complexion has been quite different from usual.
Because I really don't have time to take care of her.
For example, when discussing these matters, she would always contact Director Lü and the others by phone.
The others had prior experience working with Lu Qiaoge, and they were all people transferred from Lao Zhou, so they were doing their jobs methodically and were actually quite busy every day.
This Xiao Gu is a little different.
Some people might say to her, "You're just a decoration in this office. All you do is serve tea and water. You don't know anything about the important core issues. You might not even be as well-informed as us."
Oh dear, you're from the Northern Capital, huh? Nobody really takes you seriously.
If you ask me, they're just jealous of you and afraid you'll learn something, especially that seductive-looking Lu Qiaoge. As soon as she arrived, which of the men in our unit didn't secretly go and stare at her?
Some even deliberately paced back and forth outside her office. Wasn't it all just to catch a glimpse of her?
"You're such a ladies' man! You mustn't follow her example. We have a very good impression of you and we're indignant on your behalf..."
After talking a lot, Xiao Gu also started to have his own thoughts.
There was nothing Lu Qiaoge could do.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoge said to Lao Zhou, "Since Xiao Gu is here for her internship, you should arrange a specific job for her. I can't take her with me because my work location is not fixed, which is really inconvenient."
Old Zhou scratched his head and said, "But apart from this replica of cultural relics and the porcelain ordered by Chuhe, we don't have any other projects at the moment."
We don't plan to let her get involved in projects that are already mature.
"No matter what, you have to let her learn something, and as our leader, you have a responsibility to arrange it," Lu Qiaoge said to Lao Zhou without any politeness.
If you ask her to take care of it, she doesn't have the time.
This is different from how she took care of Sister Lin.
Old Zhou realized he had been somewhat negligent and quickly said, "I'll talk to Xiao Gu in a bit and see what she thinks. After all, she studied at school, so she should be able to come up with some different ideas."
Lu Xiaoge packed his things into his satchel and said to Lao Zhou, "I have to go to Satellite Commune. The down jacket factory needs a lot of duck and goose down right now. And our breeding industry is booming. The first batch of breeders have already earned more than 100 yuan."
Old Zhou chimed in, "Isn't this great? One industry has boosted a local sideline business, allowing farmers to earn income. This is a wonderful thing!"
Lu Qiaoge was somewhat worried: "Director Zhou, you don't know, some commune members are not very enlightened. They think raising geese and ducks is very profitable, and they don't even let their children go to school. How can this be? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? What's the point of helping them with side businesses?"
"It's all about increasing income, improving our lives, and enabling our children to go to school and become educated people. But now, because of this, they're not going to school... I can't rest easy... So, I have to go and see."
Old Zhou had worked at the grassroots level, and when he talked about this, he became somewhat serious and said to Lu Qiaoge, "You are a mediator in the street office of the military factory. I want to tell you that the families of military factory workers are of very high quality, and most of them are family members of workers, many of whom are educated."
However, in rural areas, many people are uneducated and have stubborn mindsets. They believe what they're right, and no matter what you say, it's useless; in fact, they might resent you. That's why grassroots work in rural areas is the most difficult. Because some things are simply impossible to reason with. It's the kind of situation where no matter what you say, they just won't understand.
Lu Qiaoge naturally knew the answer, and she said, "Whether it works or not, I'll give it a try."
Old Zhou said, "Then you can't go alone."
Lu Qiaoge: "That's for sure. There will be leaders from the commune, the factory director of the down jacket factory, and the office director. And I'll bring Lao Xie from the street office, who's good at doing grassroots work."
Hearing that this was the lineup, Lao Zhou felt relieved.
——
At first, President Yu of Satellite Commune didn't pay much attention, but then two elementary school teachers, one of whom was the principal, came to see him.
That's exactly the situation I'm describing.
"President Yu, you have to take care of this. Having a side business is important, but your child's schooling is also important. You can't let your child miss school because of a side business. If this continues, I'll have to report this to higher authorities."
The person who said this was the former principal of an elementary school.
He's a very senior principal.
One of the villages is called Qinggang Village. The middle school is located in the commune, but there is a primary school in the village, where one teacher basically teaches students from grades 1 to 5.
Primary school is still five years long.
This kind of thing is actually not a big deal. Generally, if you have children at home, you can go to school if you want to, or not if you don't want to. Nobody really cares, especially for children in rural areas.
After all, there is no nine-year compulsory education yet.
Therefore, neither the president nor anyone else took this matter to heart.
If the children don't go to school, then they can work in the fields. There are quite a few young men working in the fields now, and some of the capable ones can earn as much as a strong laborer.
But somehow Lu Qiao found out about it.
Three cars arrived.
This made President Yu a little nervous.
The old principal, who happened to be in the commune to report the situation, suddenly had a bright idea.
If we truly take this seriously, the problem of children dropping out of school can be solved.
Because if things continue like this, the few remaining children will also run home to herd geese and ducks.
Wouldn't that leave him, the principal, as a figurehead?
