Chapter 539 Red Envelope Meeting Gift
"Of course!"
Speaking of this trip, Zhou Zhongwei was also quite helpless. "When I came here, I thought my mission would be over in half a month at most. After I got here, I found out that it might not be over in three months, let alone half a month."
Qin Jiu was still very sympathetic. He smiled and comforted him, "Uncle, think positively. Just think of it as a trip at public expense."
Yi Chichi and Wen's mother looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing.
Zhou Zhongwei was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
"You're smart. When I get back to the capital, I'll treat you to some braised pork and fried dough sticks and some soy milk."
Qin Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, braised pork, fried dough sticks and soy milk were all foods he didn't like.
But good intentions are essential.
So, he smiled and thanked her, then took the initiative to change the subject.
Zhou Zhongwei has been to many places. Due to work reasons, he has been to cities in the east, south, west and north that have machinery factories, and has a certain understanding of the customs and cultures of various places.
When it comes to local specialties and features, he is very knowledgeable.
At first, only Yi Chichi and his family chatted with him. After he talked about the interesting things he encountered during his business trip and the local delicacies he tasted, the passengers who were originally on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and the sea view and had no intention of responding to the conversation, could not hold back their curiosity and came over to talk to him.
Wen Yi is a king of supporting roles. He listens attentively to whatever others say with his big black eyes. He laughs when others laugh and claps his hands.
If someone talks to him, he will respond with babbling and chat with them.
Someone praised him for being smart. Before his mother Yi Chichi could say anything, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu nodded and said without any modesty that their child (brother) was indeed smart.
Amidst laughter and joy, we arrived at the port.
Zhou Zhongwei and they all needed to go to the station to buy tickets to Guangzhou.
Coming out of Yangcheng Station, Qin Jiu and Zhou Zhongwei reluctantly said goodbye and sent the people off. Then they picked up the luggage on the ground and said, "Auntie, shall we go buy tickets now?"
"The tickets are ready, let's go get them now."
Trains nowadays are not like those in later generations where you can buy tickets for the same day or the next day. You need someone to help you buy them in advance, otherwise you won’t be able to get the train time.
"We're going to the Friendship Store now, staying at the guesthouse tonight, and leaving tomorrow morning."
"Did you ask Xiao Ning to help buy the tickets?"
"Yes."
Yi Chichi nodded. There were many people she could look for, such as Wen Shi’s comrades-in-arms Hou Dahai and others, and Nan Juhong and others who had always been in contact with her.
But she didn't look for any of these people, and went directly to Ning Jiandong.
It’s simple, we’re just familiar enough, and we’re both good partners, and there are enough interests involved.
You don't have to rack your brains to repay favors when you go to him.
The most important thing is to find Ning Jiandong, you can buy a sleeper ticket.
She explained softly, "We have a baby with us, and both the hard sleeper and the hard seat are too tiring. The soft sleeper is more convenient."
"Auntie, did you buy all the soft sleeper berths?"
Qin Jiu's eyes suddenly widened. Yi Chichi hummed a sound and began to calculate how much money he had spent. After he finished, he sighed, "What a waste. Just buy one for you and your brother to sleep on. Grandma and I don't need to sit."
Wen's mother also felt it was a waste, but she knew Yi Chichi's personality very well and was worried that Qin Jiu's words would upset her, so she joked, "Your grandma and I are already so old, we can suffer less."
"Your grandma is right. She has reached the age where she can enjoy her life."
She said this in a low voice. In this era where hard work is considered an advantage, you can stay at home and enjoy yourself and indulge in luxury.
The only thing is that you can't bring it up openly in public, as it will easily lead to criticism.
Before the overall environment changes completely, we still need to pay attention to what we should pay attention to.
"the same as you."
Glancing at Qin Jiu, she said, "When growing up, adequate sleep and nutritious nutrition are very important."
"You don't want to wait until you grow up and still be taller than me, right?!"
This sentence is absolutely fatal. No matter whether you are a big man or a little man, no one doesn't care about height.
Qin Jiu was no exception. He shuddered at the thought that he was the shortest in the family.
"No matter where I go in the future, I will make sure to eat well and sleep well."
"Um."
After coming out of the station, Yi Chichi led everyone to the station to take the tram, but he didn't expect -
"Xiao Yi, this way!"
A familiar voice came from the left. Yi Chichi turned around and saw Gu Xinghua's smiling face with bared teeth coming into his sight.
She was stunned for a second, then she smiled and called out "Uncle Gu", then led Wen's mother and Qin Jiu towards where he was.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"The train is leaving tomorrow morning. Lao Ning said you would definitely come today, so he asked me to pick you up."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the luggage.
Yi Chichi thanked him quickly and handed him the luggage. "Uncle, how long have you been here?"
"Not long, only about ten minutes earlier than you guys."
Gu Xinghua was not lying. There were only a few ferries leaving the island. It would not work if it was too early because it would be too late, and it would not work if it was too late either.
It is easy to miss the last bus to Guangzhou and thus miss the train tomorrow morning.
Therefore, by taking the median time of the remaining ferries, we can roughly estimate the arrival time of her family.
Then wait outside the station, and wait for it to come.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
He greeted Wen's mother with a smile, and also stuffed a red envelope into Wen Yi's hand, "Yi Yi, since we're meeting for the first time, grandpa is giving you a red envelope to buy some candy."
Wen Yi had no idea how to buy candy, but the thing stuffed into his hand was his.
Naturally, you have to hurry up.
He grabbed the red envelope and said "Ah" to Gu Xinghua twice. Gu Xinghua said with a smile, "Our Yi Yi is really polite. He knows how to say thank you at such a young age."
Yi Chichi, “…”
Uncle Gu’s filter is quite outrageous.
She smiled and thanked Wen Yi on his behalf, and introduced Qin Jiu to him.
Gu Xinghua, who had been prepared, took out another red envelope and gave it to Qin Jiu. "Young talent, study hard and become a pillar of the country when you grow up."
Qin Jiu looked at Yi Chichi and saw her nod. He took the red envelope with a sigh and said thank you with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Gu. I will."
"Let's go, get in the car, let's go back first."
Gu Xinghua came by car, a military green jeep. The car was very old and noisy, but it was more convenient and faster than the tram.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the Friendship Store's warehouse. Xiaoyu, who had been sitting in front of the embroidery room for a long time and was tired, came out to stretch her muscles. When she saw Yi Chichi coming down holding a chubby baby looking around, her eyes lit up.
"Sister Chi Chi, is this Wen Yi?"
She ran over excitedly, her voice a little loud. Master Qian and the others who were sitting in front of the embroidery frame heard this and looked at each other. Master Qian was the first to stand up.
"Xiao Yi is here with the baby, I have to go and see him."
Master Tang stood up and said, "I have to take a look too."
As she spoke, she felt her pocket and found it was empty. She stopped immediately and asked, "Who of you brought money?"
"What are you bringing money for?"
They lived in dormitories and ate in the cafeteria. The Friendship Store also regularly paid them wages and various receipts as subsidies. If they were in financial difficulty, the money would be deducted from their wages.
There's no point carrying money.
"Give Chi Chi's kid a red envelope as a meeting gift."
It would be embarrassing to come empty-handed, after all they are our elders.
