Chapter 217 Phone Call
Meng Changli had already made up her mind at the moment of divorce that she would not marry again.
She already has two daughters, so what's the point of getting married again? It would just be to find another family to serve her.
She had felt so comfortable during the past six months of divorce that she would never go through that hardship again.
Once the factory and wholesale department are completely stable, she will also go and experience college life.
Meng Shulan: "Do you want to tell your brother?"
These matters can be left to my eldest brother to handle.
Meng Changli is now one of the few female entrepreneurs in the city since its opening up. She is young and good-looking. Divorce and raising children are not a problem at all for the people around her.
She is capable, can make money, and runs such a big factory. If you really want to marry her, you won't have to worry about finding a job, among other things.
Not long after Meng Changli got divorced, the matchmakers in the village started to get restless. In the past six months, her business has grown and she opened a factory, making her even more popular.
It’s just a pity that Meng Changli has no intention of remarrying.
Meng Shulan had no objection whether her sister found someone else or remained single. She was just afraid that her sister would get into trouble and be harassed by others.
Meng Changli: "Don't bother. Just refuse him a few more times and he won't come."
After all, he will have to find another one no matter what. He will have to find a woman to share the burden of washing clothes, cooking, and raising the son left by his deceased wife. He will not stay with her for too long.
Meng Shulan still gave them a few reminders, asking them to be careful and to speak up if they had any trouble.
Meng Changli: "I understand."
"Sister, I want to call Gu Hansong."
"Sure, you come and fight."
Meng Changli left the desk with the lunch box.
Meng Shulan picked up the microphone and dialed.
Meng Shulan didn’t know whether Gu Hansong had returned from Gangcheng. It was her first time calling him and she was a little nervous.
Soon, the call was connected. After two rings, the person on the other end picked up the phone.
"Hey, Thunder Monkey, Lidu..."
They speak the local dialect there.
Meng Shulan was confused at first, but after she realized what was happening, she asked, "Is it Jiang Jun?"
The voice sounded like Jiang Jun.
When did he learn the local dialect over there? It sounds like that's how they ask questions.
The person on the other end of the phone also paused, then asked tentatively: "Is it Miss Shulan?"
"Yes! Jiang Jun, it's me."
Jiang Jun's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Girl, are you looking for Brother Han?"
"Is he back?"
"If you call in the evening, I'll probably answer it. I'm on my way now."
So that's it.
"About what time? I'll call you in the evening."
"Around eight o'clock. Yesterday, Brother Han said he would be back today. I wonder if he will call me when he leaves later."
Meng Shulan: "My sister has installed a telephone in her office. Please write down the number. When he comes back later, ask him to call me."
"OK!"
After giving the phone number, Meng Shulan quickly hung up. Phone charges were not cheap in that era, so she couldn't chat casually.
Meng Changli had almost finished her meal.
She asked, "Is he not here?"
Meng Shulan told her that Gu Hansong had called her back in the evening.
"Okay. I'll take you home after dinner. You can rest or read over there. Come over for dinner later."
"good."
The two of them quickly returned to the house that Meng Changli rented.
Meng Changli had work to do in the afternoon and couldn't accompany them. Meng Shulan wanted to take a nap but couldn't fall asleep, so she stayed in the room reading a book.
At night, after having dinner in the wholesale department, Meng Shulan went to the office and waited.
At about 7:30, Gu Hansong called.
Meng Shulan: "You just arrived?"
Judging from his voice, he seemed to be out of breath.
Gu Hansong said "hmm", "How about you, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
“How did you feel about the exams the past two days?”
"It feels okay..."
The two chatted casually for a while. It had been almost two months since they last saw each other, and they both had a lot to say to each other.
After chatting for about seven or eight minutes, Meng Shulan asked him, "How are things going over there? Do you have any plans to come back?"
Gu Hansong chuckled, "Miss me?"
In the past, Meng Shulan would have definitely changed the subject or expressed her feelings with silence.
But today, she generously admitted: "Yes."
I really miss him.
Especially after knowing that Han Ning also had some memories of his previous life, I missed him even more.
Although Meng Shulan knew that even if he came back, he couldn't do anything, but the feeling was different when someone was by her side.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Hansong was silent. It was unclear whether he was thinking seriously about his next work arrangements or was a little surprised by her change.
After a while, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Meng Shulan was stunned for a moment, and in her heart she was impressed by this man's sharpness. She smiled and said, "What's the matter? I just miss you, isn't that okay?"
At the office door, Meng Changli, who had just pushed the door open and was about to come in, was caught off guard and stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out.
When Meng Shulan raised her eyes, she saw her sister. Her heart skipped a beat and she turned sideways silently, her face blushing.
On the other side of the phone, Gu Hansong smiled again, and then said, "Of course. Next month, I will deal with things as soon as possible, and I will pick you up here when you get the notice."
That's about right.
Meng Shulan also laughed. The two families had discussed it before she left and decided to get engaged before college. This guy never mentioned it and she didn't know if he still remembered it.
Meng Shulan smiled and said, "Okay."
Gu Hansong: "Good luck on tomorrow's exam."
"Got it. You too, all is well."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shulan let out a long sigh and said to her sister at the door, "You're not coming in?"
Meng Changli: "Why don't you chat a little more?"
Meng Shulan: "I'm just worried about the high phone bill."
"I am now a factory manager, after all. I can still afford this phone bill..."
The two sisters chatted from time to time.
Thousands of miles away in Nancheng, Gu Hansong was sitting in a leather chair and letting a familiar doctor treat the knife wound on his arm.
In order to make handling easier, he had taken off the black shirt he was wearing when he came back. From a distance it seemed like nothing was wrong, but when you got closer you would see that the blood had dyed his entire arm and the hem of his shirt red.
Jiang Jun and Shen Chengyuan were there next to them.
Neither of them dared to speak, they both held their breath and stared at the doctor.
After about half an hour of injections and stitches, the finger-long wound was finally healed.
The doctor packed up his medicine box and told a few people about the precautions for follow-up care, such as not to touch water for a few days, how to change the dressing, how to take the prescribed medicine, pay attention to infection, possible fever, etc.
"If you have time, it's best to stay in the hospital for two days."
Gu Hansong shook his head, "It's just a minor injury, it's not worth it."
No bone damage, not deep.
