Chapter 37 Scrap Collection Station
After listening to the boss's praise, Qin Hengzhi walked into the workshop to find Master Lu. A few minutes later, he and Master Lu stood behind a machine in the workshop.
Qin Hengzhi said in a low voice: "...We have held a meeting and decided to reward you, Master Lu. According to the actual situation of your family, we are going to give you a job quota..."
Old Lu's expression gradually became serious.
After just a moment's thought, he flatly refused.
"No, that's against the rules."
Qin Hengzhi explained gently: "We will issue a document. Old workers like you who have worked for a long time and are above level seven and have won provincial model workers or above will have a quota for preferential treatment."
After a pause, Qin Hengzhi continued, "Master Lu, I have always admired you. You have made great contributions in the Red Star Lake incident. It's a pity that I cannot be publicly commended. Now that my mission is completed, I will leave soon. I hope I can do something for you before I leave."
Old Lu looked at the handsome young man and asked hurriedly, "When are you leaving?"
Compared with his own son and those he knew, Qin Hengzhi in front of him was truly a leader among the young people.
He is the kind of person who is fascinating in every way.
Qin Hengzhi: "I will leave when the new military representative takes over."
Old Lu sighed with regret. Qin Hengzhi's identity was not ordinary. Even if he left, he couldn't just ask where he was going.
When Lu Qiao came out of the department store, she still had one dollar in her pocket, so she planned to go to the scrap collection station to see if there were any suitable textbooks.
Not only for himself, but also for his younger sister Lu Qiaoling.
I haven't read seriously in these years, it's time to pick it up now.
I don’t know when the clingy tabby cat came following again.
Lu Qiaoge scratched Huahua's chin a few times and asked it to follow behind him. It must be said that Huahua was very capable and could always find her location.
When he arrived at the scrap collection station, Lu Qiage heard some messy noises coming from the scrap station.
[This is my book, you are not allowed to eat it.]
[I just ate and ate. I even ate the food and meat coupons that were stuck in the book.]
[When do you think the secret in the bookcase will be discovered? ]
[That's not a secret. It's just something the potter's wife did out of spite.]
[Humans are funny. They say peace is the most precious thing, but in fact they are cruel and ruthless. ]
【Run, the big blind cat is coming. 】
Then came the sinister voice of the tabby cat: [Which mouse called me a big blind cat? What, do you want to be a dead mouse? ]
The tabby cat arched its body, took an attacking posture, and meowed continuously.
Lu Qiaoling asked Lu Qiaoge in surprise: "Second sister, what's wrong with the cat?"
Lu Qiaoling said, "It's okay. Maybe they think there are too many rats here."
At this time, the tabby cat had already stopped the mouse that was about to escape.
The tabby cat asked Lu Qiaoge: [Do you want them to come and pay their respects to you, my little master?]
Lu Qiage quickly rejected this suggestion in his mind. One or two might be considered cute, but a large group would be totally unnecessary.
So the tabby cat jumped into the waste pile.
Old Zhong, who was in charge of the scrap collection station, shouted, "The old books you want are in the northwest corner. Don't look through the others."
In the era of material scarcity, there were still families living well, so there were quite a few old cabinets and boxes here.
But the most common thing here is scrap metal.
Iron lumps, screws, frozen and cracked radiators, broken stove covers, etc.
These will be returned to the factory for secondary use.
Therefore, the scrap collection station belongs to the military factory. Although there are not many employees, it actually makes a lot of money.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Lao Zhong who was sitting on a chair listening to the radio, then took his sister to the northwest corner where the old books were placed.
A shed was built here.
There were a pile of messy books inside, and Lu Qiaoge also saw a little mouse shivering in front of a book.
The chubby little paws were resting on a book.
Voice of the heart? No, it’s just blank.
The tabby cat jumped over and said proudly: [The book that the little mouse pointed to contains food coupons, meat coupons and money.]
Then he anxiously pointed to a shabby bookcase in a corner: [There is something there, too. It must be the same as Zhou Li's dressing table.]
Lu Qiaoge glanced into the corner and saw, sure enough, a broken cabinet leaning against the wall.
Lu Qiaoge warned the tabby cat not to go to places with a lot of garbage.
Then he pulled Lu Qiaoling over to prevent her from seeing the trembling little mouse that was making a sign.
She bent down and took out the book.
This is a thick and very famous Soviet book.
The name is "How the Steel Was Tempered".
This is a book that has influenced generations, but it suffered during those tense years.
Lu Qiaoge opened the book and saw the banknotes tucked in at a glance.
Cash 36.89, food coupons 18 jin, meat coupons 1 jin.
This seems to be someone's monthly salary?
After flipping through the book a few times, Lu Qiaoge found no names or marks on it.
Lu Qiaoge originally wanted to hand the book to the workers at the scrap yard, but when she looked around, she found that she didn't know any of them except Lao Zhong.
And Lao Zhong doesn't seem very reliable.
Lu Qiaoge took out the money and put it into his bag.
Then she put the book aside and asked the trembling little mouse to leave quickly while she continued to select usable textbooks.
Just then, a man in his forties walked in, greeted Lao Zhong with a smile, and asked if there was any cabinet that could be used.
He also walked in the direction of Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Qiaoge was sorting books when he heard someone talking about finding a cabinet.
Lu Qiage stood up and looked at the only two relatively intact cabinets in the scrap yard.
The bookcase the mice mentioned looked barely OK, but the other one was even worse, with no doors at all.
Is there a secret hidden here?
Does she get involved or not?
Sure enough, abilities are not given casually.
Lu Qiaoge called out to Lu Qiaoling: "Qiaoling, come here."
Lu Qiaoling hurried forward.
Lu Qiaoge took Lu Qiaoling to a corner and said, "Buy this cabinet and tidy it up. I'll use it as a bookcase."
Lu Qiaoling didn't dislike it, but still said, "Second sister, this costs money, and we don't have enough money. Let me make it clear in advance that I only have fifty cents in my pocket."
Lu Qiaoge waved his hand and said, "Let's settle the bill later. Let's move to the used books first."
Lu Qiaoge could actually do it himself, but it’s not very convenient to move it, mainly because there is too much dust on it.
She asked Lu Qiaoling to help, and the two sisters carried the cabinet to the shed.
"Just come with me to pick out books, just choose the textbooks. I have to go to the lake to fish later."
The tabby cat meowed happily several times.
Lu Qiaoling glanced at Huahua and said, "Second sister, I feel like cats eat better than me, either meat or fish."
Lu Qiage ignored her. She had to go because she had promised the tabby cat that she would raise it.
Now it loves to eat otter, so she has to catch it for it from time to time.
But now that he's at work and doesn't have much time, Lu Qiaoge decided to get some palm-sized fish to dry.
Lu Qiaoge placed the selected books on the cabinet.
At this time, the man also came over and saw the cabinet. His eyes lit up and he said to Lu Qiaoge: "Qiaoge, my nephew just entered high school and wants a bookcase. Can you give this to Uncle Wei?"
