After Director Zhang finished speaking, he hurriedly left again. Lu Yang brought a basin of water from outside, took out a rag, and started wiping the house. Song Qing also started to help. Although they hadn't been gone long, there was no dust in the house.
"Mom, what kind of flower is this?"
An'an didn't pay much attention to the trees in the yard before, but now that she saw them in full bloom, she was overjoyed and picked up the petals from outside with a tin biscuit box.
"White flowers, probably from an apple or pear tree." Song Qing had never seen this kind of flower before.
"Wow, then we'll have apples to eat from now on."
She became happier and happier as she picked them up, and in her heart she had already identified the tree as an apple tree because she liked to eat apples.
Song Qing and Lu Yang both breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she saw the tree, and she felt much more energetic.
"What did Director Zhang want with you?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled. After Director Zhang pulled the man away, he stood outside the courtyard for a while and came back with two books that looked like huge bricks.
Is it about work? Weren't we supposed to start work in July?
He knew what the family-run factory did; the company used to distribute things like soap and toothpaste produced by the factory, so as far as he knew, they probably didn't need so many books.
"Director Zhang said that the military region plans to build a textile factory. The current factory is too small and doesn't need many people."
"A textile factory?"
This is no easy task. First, you need a site to build a factory. Although their residential area is large, there are still many things to consider when building a factory there. It cannot affect the living environment of the neighboring families, and it also needs to have good transportation conditions.
Their family compound is located in the old district. If it is built in the new district, how will the fabric produced by the factory be transported out?
If large trucks are allowed to pass through the old district and then into the new district, safety cannot be guaranteed, especially with so many children running and jumping around in the residential compound.
There are also various raw materials in the early stages, as well as wastewater and waste material treatment after textile production. Thinking about it, there are still many problems that need to be solved.
“You’re right. These are the problems we need to solve one by one. A living person can’t be held back by their own urine. We’ll solve any difficulties we encounter.”
Song Qing knew that Lu Yang's consideration was correct. Building this factory would be a long and arduous task, but she was very confident.
Director Zhang said that the military region would provide strong support, and that as long as they could come up with a solution, the leaders would do it.
With so many family members relocated to this division headquarters location, the situation of officers and their spouses living apart has finally been resolved. If the employment issues of these family members cannot be resolved, not only will family income decrease, but family members without wages will also be prone to conflicts in the long run.
"I just asked Director Zhang about our situation. There are no textile factories in the city right now, and the supply is usually provided by the state-owned cotton mill next door. The state-owned cotton mill will definitely prioritize its own area, so our city is next in line."
However, we have so many factories with a large number of workers in good working conditions, so we naturally need a supply of fabrics. Our government might set up a textile factory soon, so in that case, our military region should set up one first and take the lead.
"We'll start by securing supplies within the military region. Later, as we expand, we'll also have access to fabrics for the entire city. With such a large market, we won't have to worry about sales, and then our factory will be able to operate successfully."
When Song Qing asked Director Zhang these questions, Director Zhang was also surprised. Sure enough, she hadn't misjudged her. She could think of so much just from a few words.
At first, Song Qing also felt that setting up a textile factory was a bit sudden, but after listening to the director's explanation, he felt that the factory should be set up sooner rather than later.
"Xiao Song, you will be a member of our textile factory's preparatory team from now on. We mainly want you to be in charge of production management. Make sure you thoroughly understand these materials. If you don't understand anything, just go to the office. We have many capable people there."
Who wouldn't be filled with enthusiasm upon hearing this? This is about setting up a huge factory.
Song Qing loved beauty from a young age and was very skilled at using sewing machines; she could even make her own clothes at a very young age.
Once the textile factory is completed, they might be able to turn it into a garment factory. They can then use the fabrics in their own factory to make garments and sell them.
The ready-made clothes in department stores are so expensive now, costing ten or twenty yuan a piece, which is almost a worker's wage. If they could set up garment factories and control the price of fabrics, as long as the cost drops, the price would be lower, and the workers would buy them.
These days, clothes may be expensive, but who doesn't want an outfit that makes them look presentable?
She noticed this when she went to the city before; the female workers in the factories here were generally in good spirits and were very willing to spend money.
As Lu Yang watched her eyes grow brighter and brighter, she even stopped what she was doing, and a smile appeared in his eyes as well.
"Yes, keep it up, you can definitely get it done."
“My cousin has worked in a textile factory for many years. I’m going to write to her and ask her about it.”
She suddenly remembered her cousin, who had also received a large piece of flawed fabric on her recent trip back home. With connections in her family, she wasn't entirely clueless about the matter.
She acted immediately, putting down the rag and finding paper and pen to start writing a letter.

"You shameless wretch! You've disgraced the Bai family! How could I have given birth to such a shameless daughter!"
After returning home, Bai Xiangdong became increasingly angry. The Zhou family's son said that they had been dating for a year, so did that mean they had been doing this for a long time? What a mess! If she were pregnant, he would be utterly disgraced by the mother and daughter.
Although the old man from the Zhou family eventually agreed to the engagement, it was clear that he didn't really want his daughter to marry into the family; he was just trying to delay it.
If she really gets pregnant, and the Zhou family is unwilling to get married now, the Bai family will be drowned in scorn.
"I don't."
"You said nothing? How dare you deny it? So many people saw it." Bai Jiahe also felt it was bad luck. He also had a girlfriend, and they had originally planned to get married in a while.
Once my sisters have all left, we'll clear out the room so that any future children will have a place to live.
But who would have thought that Bai Rongjun would do such a thing? Now everyone in Xin'an knows about it, and everyone is watching the joke. His girlfriend's family has also stopped mentioning marriage.
Bai Jiahe was terrified that the marriage would fall through. When he returned and saw his younger sister, he was even more disgusted with her. His once happy family was ruined because of her.
Chen Hongxia stopped the furious Bai Xiangdong and pulled Bai Rongjun back into the room.
"Tell me the truth, have you two ever done that?" Chen Hongxia wasn't sure either. If she was really pregnant, she would risk her life to make Zhou Han marry her daughter.
That old bastard Zhou Qi actually refused. How much money has he swindled from her over the years?
"Mom, don't even you believe me?" Bai Rongjun's energy seemed to have been drained away. Everyone was accusing her of being shameless, but she hadn't done anything wrong.
Why doesn't anyone believe her?
