Chapter 487 Tan Ying and Zhao Xiaoman are different
Lu Qiaoge drove quickly to the Shangen Brigade.
The purchasing point is in an office next to the Shangen Brigade headquarters. It is quite large and tidy inside.
When I went there, I saw more than ten people queuing.
Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows.
Tan Ying and Zhao Xiaoman are different.
Although Zhao Xiaoman's life was hard, she was still lucky. She had a childhood sweetheart who loved her, and apart from a pair of terrible parents, she got along well with her brothers and sisters.
But Tan Ying was in trouble. She was all alone, with no one to help her or care about her. She was really stuck in a muddy situation.
To some extent, it might not be a bad thing if Tan Ying really went to work on the farm.
But Lu Qiaoge didn't have any hope at that time.
Tan Ying's family situation is actually very complicated.
According to what they did at that time, the old men and women of the Tan family, including Tan Ying, must be sent away to do labor according to certain regulations.
But there is a strange circle in this matter.
Not to mention the age of the old man and old lady of the Tan family, the two of them are also holding on to the couple of the Qu family.
Under Mrs. Qu's pleading, Qu Caifeng did not pursue the matter and forgave her parents for what they had done to her.
Then the Qu family and the Tan family both went to the commune and settled the matter privately in front of the commune leaders.
There are many cases like this in this era, and it is not that strange or incredible.
But there is also the punishment that should be given.
Both families had to work under the supervision of the team leader, and the lazy old man from the Tan family had to work with the male laborers.
Old Tan has to go to the fields to work, and Tan Ying is in charge of the purchasing point. He has no days off and is busy with the purchasing point every day, so the old lady is the one who takes care of the fool.
Now it is spring plowing season, and we have changed from two meals a day to three meals a day when we go to work in the fields.
In the 1970s, people in rural areas in the north usually ate two meals a day during the winter, but after the spring plowing, they changed to three meals a day.
When Lu Qiaoge entered the purchasing point, he saw a lunch box on the table.
The room was clean and tidy. There was a small iron stove in the corner, which Shao Le had pulled over. It could be used to keep warm and heat up food.
Because the raw materials for the handicrafts we purchase are all flammable, the purchased items are placed next door.
Seeing Lu Qiaoge's smile, Tan Ying said respectfully, "Director Lu, you're here."
Lu Qiaoge waved his hand: "You go ahead and do your thing, I just came to take a look."
It was quite quiet at the brigade headquarters; everyone went to the fields to work and make fertilizer.
However, the land was right next to the village. When Lu Qiage drove over, someone saw him. After Lu Qiage stayed here for a few minutes, the team leader came running over.
Lu Qiaoge greeted with a smile.
I said to the team leader, "I didn't expect the order at the purchasing point to be so good."
Before the team leader could say anything, a woman in her forties waiting in line said with a smile, "Oh, this purchasing point is so convenient for us, it's like pie in the sky. My family relies on the purchasing point for our daily needs, not to mention the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. So we have to follow the regulations of the purchasing point, otherwise if you city people see us making a fuss, won't you laugh at us?"
Someone nearby boldly agreed.
How to say it?
Not to mention other places, just talk about Manshan Commune. Many members are very envious of city people, especially those with stable jobs, and they have a kind of awe towards them.
So just now I saw Lu Qiaoge coming, and he was driving a big jeep, and the jeep was parked right at the door of the brigade headquarters. It was really impressive.
In this era, female drivers are amazing, not to mention that this young girl is the factory director and a street office cadre.
So I didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and a man in his forties said, "We dare not disobey. Tan Ying is so powerful!"
Yes, she took a stick and broke her stupid brother’s legs. She didn’t feel anything at the time, but many people felt the aftermath, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they became.
Not to mention that she is now a purchasing point.
Just like going to a department store to buy something, you have to smile ingratiatingly at the salesperson. If the salesperson wants to pay attention to you, you don’t have to wait. If they don’t want to pay attention to you, you can just wait on the side. They may even scold you for no reason.
This is the current phenomenon in some service industries.
Lu Qiaoge understood.
Tan Ying's work was supported by the military factory, the commune and the brigade, and more importantly, she did something about it - she used a stick to break the legs of her idiot brother who was a danger to the village.
Now she is still a buyer at a purchasing point.
So the operation of this purchasing point is actually very normal at present.
After these people handed over the items in their hands to Tan Ying, Tan Ying carefully checked each one and then wrote them a note and stamped it with the purchasing point's seal.
She would send these to the commune. If they were unqualified, she would take them back directly. If they were qualified, she would pay the other party. There was no delay at all, and the cycle was generally one to two days.
They are all villagers from nearby, and some are from other villages. Anyway, this purchasing point has always been full of people.
Now several nearby villages attach great importance to the Shangen Brigade purchasing point, and naturally do not want any problems to occur here.
The captain went to do other things, and Lu Qiaoge followed Tan Ying into the house.
Tan Ying rubbed his hands and said to her, "I saw you drove. I... I got up early this morning and picked some dandelions and shepherd's purse. I put them in the big vat behind the house and soaked them in ice-cold well water. They're so fresh now. You... If you don't mind, I'll fish them out and you can take them home to make dumplings with shepherd's purse. They're delicious."
Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows: "What if I don't come today?"
"I'll pick some tomorrow. Today's ones won't taste good. I'll dry them. Dried dandelions are also medicinal."
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Yes, dandelions can also be made into tea."
Hearing Lu Qiaoge say this, Tan Ying ran outside happily, picking up a new-looking earthen basket woven with wicker.
After a while, he brought back a basket full of green wild vegetables.
Water is still dripping from the bottom of the basket.
Tan Ying placed the wicker basket on a somewhat worn washbasin. It seemed that the water drained very cleanly when she scooped it out, and the dripping sound was not frequent.
Tan Ying's face flushed a little, but she still said, "I'll load it into the back of your car later."
Seeing Tan Ying's somewhat anxious but eager eyes, Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Okay, thank you!"
Tan Ying suddenly became happy again, as if relieved, and waved his hands hurriedly and said, "I dug it in my backyard. It's very clean there, and no one steps on it."
Lu Qiaoge was relieved. Given Tan Ying's personality, she would definitely not dig up wild vegetables on the roadside that were trampled dirty by people and give them to her.
