Chapter 124 The Signal He Gave
Meng Shulan was still a little scared when she saw him coming.
This person acted too formal today, as if he was visiting his mother-in-law. She didn't know if others had noticed, but she couldn't help feeling guilty.
She ran out to avoid misunderstandings, but why did this man come up to her? Meng Shulan: "Where's my dad?"
Gu Hansong: "I went out to buy something."
So that's how it is. Then there's nothing to worry about.
Meng Shulan breathed a sigh of relief. Her agitated heartbeat had calmed down a little. Then she heard Gu Hansong ask, "What are you afraid of?"
Afraid? Meng Shulan glanced at him and said, "It's not what you think."
"How is that?"
Hey, why is this person talking so much?
Where is his aloof personality? Seeing Gu Hansong staring at her seriously, Meng Shulan said, "I'll tell you later."
Gu Hansong nodded thoughtfully.
Since Meng Fude was not there, there was no problem for Meng Shulan to receive the guests. The two got along very well and taught the two little kids to write together.
He Jinqiu was about to come over with dishes and chopsticks to set the table when she saw Gu Hansong and his daughter standing together, talking and laughing. They looked like a perfect couple.
She frowned slightly, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger.
After setting the table, He Jinqiu returned to the kitchen and said to her eldest daughter, "Tell me, how come Gu Hansong looked so different after he came back from his trip?"
That’s right, Gu Hansong has changed a lot, everyone in the village says so.
Just the outfit he wore and the fact that he had his hair cut off were enough to surprise people.
In He Jinqiu's understanding, if a man changes so much, it means he is thinking about women.
Yes, there is a girl I like, and I want to show off in front of her and start courting her.
She also came from a girl's family, so she understands these things.
He Jinqiu is still very considerate, at least better than her eldest daughter.
Meng Changli was cooking. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with her appearance? She's doing fine now! After all, she's been to South City once and seen the prosperous world outside. She has a higher standard. It's normal for her to buy two nice clothes and wear a pair of leather shoes."
Meng Changli didn't think much about it.
After staying in the town for a week, she also heard some things about Gu Hansong.
I heard that he brought a machine back to the noodle factory, which could increase production efficiency by 30%. The noodle factory was extremely happy and was preparing to expand the factory and recruit workers.
The bus drivers in the town were also saying that Gu Hansong seemed to have nothing on his hands when he returned from outside this time, but in fact, his business had grown and he simply didn't bother to make money in their small town.
I heard that he provided some technology and raw materials to some unit in the city. In short, they were things that ordinary people could not do, but he did it. He is amazing.
What the eldest daughter said makes some sense.
He Jinqiu originally wanted to express his thoughts, but he held back and did not speak.
My youngest daughter is about to take her final exams. If we talk about these things out loud, it might affect her studies.
Forget it, let’s observe and see.
At lunch, Meng Fude opened the wine that Gu Hansong brought.
It was rare that Meng Changli also had a small cup.
She is now also considered an agent for the Meng family's business. If she wants to be independent in the future, she still needs to learn a little about socializing.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Meng Changli asked a lot of questions about Gu Hansong's trip to South City. Gu Hansong told her everything, but they were all limited to South City. He concealed the experience of going to Gangcheng.
Meng Changli was quite moved when she heard that the world outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Their place is still too small.
Outside, there are all kinds of public-private partnerships and small private workshops everywhere, and many people have started to engage in foreign trade and earn foreign exchange.
Here, they are very cautious when selling things, afraid of this and that. Not only are the people timid, but the local authorities also still stick to the rules.
Therefore, if a person wants to change, both environment and thoughts are very important.
When the meal was almost over, Meng Changli took out a sample form that Gu Hansong had brought back to her last time from the room.
It is called a sample sheet, but it is actually just a piece of cardboard with some fabric samples pasted on it, marked with colors and numbers.
"By the way, Hansong, didn't you say before that if you wanted the cloth above, you could contact this manufacturer, right?"
Gu Hansong nodded, "Just contact them using the address and phone number above. You can ask for the price based on the number. The specific amount depends on the quantity you order. The more you order, the easier it is to negotiate the price."
This is how it is when you go to the manufacturer to get goods. If you ask for less, they may not sell it to you.
To be honest, Meng Changli likes all the samples here very much. These materials are the most cutting-edge and popular at the moment. Although their city's textile factories also have them, the variety is limited and they are not currently available to the public.
Although the fabric used by the Meng family now is Dacron, it is the most common kind and a bit thick. It is fine in autumn and winter, but not suitable in summer.
Meng Changli decided to give the other party a call and ask next time she went into the city.
After dinner, after sitting and drinking tea for a while, Gu Hansong said he was leaving.
Gone now! Meng Shulan looked over with some surprise.
She still wants to talk to this person today.
Meng Fude also said, "It's still early. Why don't you sit for a while? You came here on a bicycle. You can get back to the village in no time."
This is how the villagers treat guests. When they invite guests to their home, they shout and pull them away. When the guests want to leave, they persuade and try to keep them.
Gu Hansong: "We still have to go to the noodle factory to help them test the newly installed production line."
Ah, so something happened. There’s nothing I can do about it.
Gu Hansong pushed his bicycle out from under the eaves, and several people from the Meng family followed behind him and escorted him out the door.
Meng Shulan walked at the back with her two children.
When Gu Hansong turned around and asked everyone to stop, his eyes met hers briefly.
It seemed that he was just taking a casual glance, but Meng Shulan felt something in her heart, as if this person was sending her some signal.
After Gu Hansong left, Meng Shulan couldn't read anymore. After a while, she said she wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy manuscript paper and went out.
The last time her brother came back, she had already bought a pile of manuscript paper, and half of it was still unused.
Meng Shulan just wanted to go out and find Gu Hansong.
She had something to say to him, wanted to talk to him.
Except for the weekends, she is usually busy, and it is almost the end of the year. Judging from his appearance, he is also very busy.
Gu Hansong felt the same way, but it was simply not convenient in the yard just now.
Meng Shulan went all the way to the town entrance.
The noodle factory is near the river bank, not far from the town entrance.
Gu Hansong had said before that he wanted to go to the noodle shop to test the noodle machine. I don’t know whether it was true or not, but what is certain is that he was pointing himself in the direction.
