Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 44 Can she also have a stable job?
Not only Meng Xia was shocked, but everyone else was as well.

Even Old Lu, who always prided himself on being fair and just, never thought that his wife could participate in the recruitment.

When children grow up, all they think about is their children.

Lu Qiaoge: "My mother is a few months away from turning 40, so she just meets the requirements."

Lao Lu: ...

The Lu family looked at Meng Xia in disbelief, and finally their eyes fell on Lu Qiaoge.

No one thinks that Meng Xia is not old at 40, but in fact, she is about to become a grandmother.

She got married at the age of seventeen and gave birth to Lu Zhiguo at the age of eighteen. Because her birthday was in Dongyue, she was a few months away from turning forty.

Just meets the minimum standard.

But Lu Qiaoge felt that this indicator was a bit strange.

She asked the stunned Old Lu, "Is recruitment like this in previous years?"

Old Lu hesitated for a moment, then recalled, "We haven't hired workers for several years. Most of the jobs are taken over by children whose parents have retired. But this year we are taking care of the older workers who are above level seven."

Lu Qiaoge: "So, we now have four candidates."

Su Hui stood at the door with red eyes. She wanted to let it go, but she was worried that it would be wrong to say so.

She lowered her head and stirred her apron with her hands.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Su Hui, then at Lu Zhiguo, and said sternly, "Brother, you just took your anger out on my sister-in-law. What nonsense did you say? Apologize first."

Su Hui waved her hands quickly and was about to say something, but Lu Qiage saw her embarrassed look and thought that if Su Hui was someone else's daughter-in-law, many things would be easy to say.

But this was her sister-in-law, so she had to be careful when speaking. She said in a gentle voice, "Sister-in-law, if you want to tell me you're pregnant someday, that's your freedom. Don't mind it. So I'm going to be an aunt, and I'm really happy. Besides, you're a member of the family, so it's normal for you to fight for your own interests."

Then he said to Lu Zhiguo: "As a family, we should trust and tolerate each other at all times. We can't blame each other and shirk responsibility when there is a problem. Big brother, apologize."

Lu Zhiguo scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lu Qiaoge: "I may be responsible for mediation in the future. You must set an example."

Lu Zhiguo glanced at his sister with amusement, and said to Su Hui very straightforwardly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now."

Meng Xia was still confused and didn't notice this scene. Su Hui looked at her mother-in-law cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Qiaoge said to Lu Qiaoling: "Before things are finalized, don't make random guesses and interpretations based on hearsay. For you, Lu Qiaoling, why should I put on an act with you?

What can you do if it’s finalized?
Speaking of which, including grandma, none of the elders in our family really favors boys over girls. Look at Xiao Si, he's not in good health, but he's been spoiled, isn't he?"

Lu Qiaoling pouted, but since she came back, she didn't know why, while she admired her second sister, she was also a little afraid of her. She whispered, "I said that because I was angry. I'm sorry, I won't do that again in the future."

Lu Qiaoge waved his hand. "Alright, it's getting dark soon, there's a storm tonight, and everyone has to go to work tomorrow. We haven't had dinner yet, so should we eat first or finalize the recruitment quota?"

Mrs. Lu: "I'll go cook, you guys discuss it."

He took Xiao Si to the kitchen.

Because of Qiao Ge, there was no shortage of rice, flour and eggs at home. Before Su Hui had time to cook, several people started quarreling.

Since she can farm, she can naturally cook. However, Su Hui always rushes to do it, so she lets her granddaughter-in-law do it.

But now that she's pregnant, she needs to be careful. The old lady was also very happy. Her second granddaughter was very capable and she settled the conflict with just a few words.

This cadre is very capable.

She said to Lu Xiaosi, "Go get grandma a bowl of noodles so we can make egg dumpling soup. It looks like it's going to rain today, so eating something warm will keep the damp away."

In the courtyard over there, Lu Qiaoge said, "To make a long story short, my opinion is to give the indicator to my mother."

Meng Xia's heart was pounding. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Qiaoge stopped her, "Mom, giving it to you is actually giving it to two people. Ten years from now, when you retire, maybe Xiao Si will be able to take over your job. By then, you and my dad will both have pensions, and you can enjoy your retirement life with peace of mind."

Old Lu's eyes lit up. This was indeed an idea he had never thought of before.

Meng Xia was also very excited.

She has been making paper boxes for many years. She has followed Lao Lu for half her life and missed several job opportunities for various reasons.

She also wanted to have a formal job and a stable job like her second daughter.

But she has a son, a daughter and a daughter-in-law who don't have formal jobs.

How could it be her turn?
Lu Qiaoge didn't let Meng Xia express her opinion. He turned to Lu Zhiguo and said, "Brother, I was just about to tell you something. Today, Sister Qiao and I went to the home of Captain Jin's mother, your leader, because of the storm. Captain Jin happened to be there, and when he came out to see Sister Qiao and me off, he said this to me."

Lu Zhiguo's eyes widened immediately, as if he sensed something. He lowered his voice and asked excitedly, "Captain Jin, what did he say?"

"He told me to hold on tight, because you never know when an opportunity will come."

Old Lu patted his eldest son's shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "Don't ask anymore. This is as clear as day. Just do your job steadily and don't get involved with those scoundrels."

So, Captain Jin is trying to curry favor with his second daughter?

Otherwise, why not tell the eldest son, but tell the second daughter instead?
Lu Qiaoge went to see Su Hui and Lu Qiaoling again.

Su Hui stood up immediately with a genuine smile on her face. "I agree that the quota should be given to our mother. Maybe this is our mother's last chance. If she doesn't seize it, she may never get another one. Besides, I'm a rich peasant. If I'm really given it, what if the higher-ups don't approve it? Wouldn't that be a waste? I'm going to go cook. You guys continue to discuss this."

Meng Xia looked at Su Hui and felt for the first time that her eldest daughter-in-law was quite good at talking.

Originally Meng Xia was the leader, but now she has become a candidate, and her heart is in turmoil.

Lu Qiaoge went to see Lu Qiaoling again.

Lu Qiaoling is not stupid and really feels that giving it to her mother is the best choice.

Without waiting for Lu Qiaoge to speak, she raised her hand and said, "I give my full approval to our mother. As for myself, I'm only eighteen years old, so there's no rush."

Old Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the form to Meng Xia and said apologetically, "When the age limit was relaxed to 40, I should have thought that this might be an opportunity for the family members of workers like you. But I was only thinking about my children and forgot about you. I'm sorry."

Meng Xia covered her mouth and tears flowed silently.

She never thought that at her age, she could still have a formal job.
-
The power went out just after dinner, and then raindrops as big as soybeans suddenly came, accompanied by strong winds, crackling against the glass windows.

Naughty Swallow told Lu Qiaoge: "You can sleep peacefully. Our nest is very solid, nothing will happen."

The tabby cat also said hurriedly: "The old turtle told me to tell you, tomorrow when the rain stops, find a chance to go to Red Star Lake. There will definitely be fish and shrimp washed out of the potholes. Especially in the reed marshes, there will be the most."

Needless to say, the tabby cat is thinking about the fish and shrimp that will be washed ashore tomorrow.
