Chapter 224 Second Sister Gu Arrives

In mid-August, the Suho jewelry store opened.

After the opening, she gave some bracelets, necklaces, earrings, headbands and other items to Zhang Ning and Xu Ying, asking them to help promote the brand.

When customers come to a clothing store to buy clothes and see the necklaces they wear, if they like them and want to buy them, they can point to the jewelry store across the street.

Not long after the jewelry store opened, good news came from Red Star Han Jiajia: she gave birth to a son.

Su He, Gu Jianhua, Gu's father, Gu's mother and others all went to the hospital.

Originally, Third Sister Gu was going to come and take care of Han Jiajia during her confinement period. But unfortunately, three days ago, when Third Sister Gu was about to come over, she got off the car and accidentally stepped on empty air. She didn't know how she fell, but she broke her hand.

Everyone has arrived in the city.

Thanks to Team Leader Wang and Wang Yao, their family of three, they went together. They originally wanted to send Third Sister Gu to Beijing and take a look around Beijing, but who knew this would happen.

You can only return the same way.

Their county textile factory, although Su He's second brother has quit, the factory is still there. Although the country is reforming, the factory will not go bankrupt in the short term, after all, it is a state-owned enterprise.

Not only did it not go bankrupt, but wages even went up. Third Sister Gu's salary is now over 50 yuan a month, and Team Leader Wang's is over 60 yuan. Both of their salaries are extremely high.

Now that this has happened, Third Sister Gu definitely cannot go to Beijing to take care of Han Jiajia during her confinement, and she cannot go to work either. Even though she has injured her bones, she has to rest at home for at least a hundred days.

It was a pity for Sister Gu San, she blamed herself for not paying attention. She had originally asked the factory for a month's leave and planned to return to work after a month. Now she cannot go to work for at least three months, and her broken hand makes it very inconvenient for her to move around.

Team leader Wang didn't know how to comfort his wife, so he could only say, "You're fine, but it's because your hand is broken. If it was a broken leg, you would be in a lot more trouble."

Sister Gu, "......."

"What should we do with Jia Jia? She's about to give birth, probably in a few days."

How can a woman give birth without someone to take care of her during the confinement period? She will suffer from confinement diseases. Jia Jia has no parents, and she cannot go after this happened.

Third Sister Gu was really worried because she couldn't go with her daughter-in-law to give birth due to her broken bone, and she couldn't go to work either, so she wasted several months.

Team leader Wang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask Jiajia's brother to help?"

It was summer vacation now, and her brother didn't have to go to school.

Sister Gu shook her head, "How can a man serve you?"

She was silent for a while, "Why don't you go find my second sister and ask her to go to Beijing to take care of Jia Jia during her confinement."

Her parents are also in Beijing. If her mother was younger, she would help take care of her, but her mother is over 70 years old. It is good enough for her to take care of herself, so how could she take care of someone else during the confinement period?

"Find my second sister? Is that possible?" She's busy inside too.

Sister Gu said, "Well, go ask. It's only August now, and there are still two months until the autumn harvest."

Her second sister and her husband had four children, three of whom went to Beijing. The second child, Chunqing's family, also moved to the county and opened a shop.

Chunqing usually doesn't go back to the village. She stays in the shop and works alone on the land, which is not much. Ever since their area was hit by a chicken plague, the couple no longer raise chickens and ducks.

I heard from Chunqing that they would open a shop to make a living in the future. If Shitou is willing to farm in the countryside, he can do so. If not, then forget it.

That store makes a lot of profit a month, probably several hundred.

After all, their shop sells everything, including daily necessities, fruits and vegetables, meat, live chickens and ducks, eggs and duck eggs, etc. It is very comprehensive.

It's just a bit tiring at ordinary times, but making money is bound to be tiring.

As for her second sister and brother-in-law, their children are all successful and have their own lives. They are still young, less than fifty years old, and they grow some crops and raise some chickens and ducks, not much, just enough to satisfy the couple's daily food and drink.

Quite leisurely.

It was only August and the autumn harvest was not yet here. If her second sister went to Beijing, her second brother-in-law should be able to handle it alone at home, after all, the work in the fields had not started yet.

The next day, Team Leader Wang brought a gift and went to Second Sister Gu's house to ask. Second Sister Gu was a straightforward person. When she heard what had happened, she said that she could take care of Third Sister during her confinement period.

She hadn't seen her kids and parents at home for a long time, so she took this opportunity to visit them.

"Thank you, thank you so much, second sister." Team leader Wang quickly thanked her.

Gu Erjie, "You are such a trouble, and you even brought a gift. We are all family, so why should we be polite?"

As a family, we should be polite to each other and not take things for granted. Team leader Wang said with a smile, "So, when are you going over, second sister? I'll call Jianhua and let them pick you up at the station."

Sister Gu thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, we will set out tomorrow."

Team leader Wang said, "You will set out tomorrow. You will arrive in the city in the afternoon. You will take the train to the capital and should arrive the day after tomorrow morning."

"almost."

Gu's second sister had never been to the capital, so she didn't know the exact time, but she saw the children at home going back and forth several times, and they were all at about the same time.

That was the settlement. When they arrived at the county, Team Leader Wang used the factory phone to call Su He and his team and explained the whole story.

We heard that Second Sister Gu was coming. We were all very happy as we hadn't seen each other for almost two years.

Mother Gu muttered, "The third child doesn't even pay attention when he walks. He's almost fifty, but he's like a child."

Su He felt that time passed so quickly. The Gu family had four children, all of whom were two years older than each other.

Today, the eldest sister Gu is 51 years old, the second sister Gu is 49 years old, the third sister Gu is 47 years old, and the youngest sister Gu Jianhua is also 45 years old.

I am really not young anymore.

When she married Gu Jianhua, her three aunts were still quite young. The third aunt was less than 30 years old. Time flies, and now they are almost 50 years old.

Time is really unforgiving. Just think about it, she was just pregnant with two children at that time, and now both children are in college.

This year, Chinese New Year is also my twentieth birthday.

Time flies so fast!

At this time, Gu's second sister was coming over, and Hong Jun, as her own son, felt a little conflicted.

His mother is coming over, so should he bring his girlfriend to his mother? He hasn't told his family about his girlfriend. His eldest sister and third sister know about it, but they probably didn't mention it to their family either.

But now that his mother is here, it’s not something that can’t be mentioned. His grandma, grandma, uncle, mother, cousin and many others know about it.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean they won't say it.

If you tell her, his mother will definitely say that she wants to meet the girl. In fact, you can meet her even if you don't say it. His mother will stay here for a month and she will definitely go to the clothing store to look. Then you can meet her then.

The Red Army is in a state of disarray!

Zhang Ning always liked to make fun of Red Army. Seeing that he didn't eat or drink and was just standing there in a daze, he asked, "Red Army, my second aunt is coming over. Do you want to bring your partner to see her?"

As soon as Zhang Ning said this, everyone at the table looked towards the Red Army.

The Red Army swallowed and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Mother Gu, "I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. Are you serious about dating Xu Ying?"

Hong Jun nodded wildly, "Serious, grandma." No one could doubt his love for Yingzi.

Mother Gu asked, "Then you should tell your parents about this. Do Xu Ying's parents know about it?"

At this point, the Red Army hesitated and said, "I didn't ask."

They had only been dating for a short time, only three months.

"Ask Xu Ying about this."

In Gu's mother's opinion, the person you are talking to should ask their parents. If the parents do not agree, there is no need to continue the discussion, especially for girls.

If the parents don't agree, the two of them can't get married, and it's just a waste of time and emotion no matter how long they date.

Hongjun nodded. He was also afraid that Xu Ying's parents would not agree. After all, he was from another place and was just working in his aunt's shop. He didn't even have a proper job.

But he really likes Xu Ying.

He wanted to wait until tomorrow to ask Xu Ying.

The next day.

Hongjun thought the answer he got was that Xu Ying's parents didn't know who they were dating.

Hongjun was shocked that they knew about it. "Your parents knew about it? When did it happen?"

"Why don't I know?"

Xu Ying, "I told you this after I talked to you for a month!"

Hongjun hesitated, "Then... do they agree to our relationship?"

Xu Ying sat on a stool, crossed her legs, and said nonchalantly, "I agree!"

Hongjun's eyes widened. "Uncle and aunt, don't you mind that I'm from another place? Don't you mind that I don't have a proper job?"

Hearing this, Xu Ying frowned, "What are you talking about? How can you be from another place? You are from Beijing, and you are the owner of a clothing store."

“It’s just not ready yet.”

The Red Army was confused by this, "Yingzi, this clothing store is owned by my aunt."

Xu Ying stood up and slapped him hard, "You idiot!"

"Are you going to work for Aunt Su for the rest of your life?"

The Red Army shook his head, "No?"

Xu Ying, "That's great. We can work for a year at most, and then we can set up a street stall like Zhang Ning and her husband, make some money, and then buy a shop and open our own store."

"You are no longer a clothing store owner. During this period, we transferred our household registration to Beijing. You are no longer a Beijing resident."

"I'm telling you about the Red Army. I can only stay in Beijing. I won't go back to the village with you."

"If you want to be with me, then you should follow my instructions from now on. We should have plans for our future and not live in a daze."

"From now on, we should save all the money we earn and not spend it all every month."

She was serious about her relationship with Hong Jun, and her parents would know about it sooner or later, so after talking for a month she took the initiative to tell her parents.

Her parents were reluctant at first, but she talked about her Red Army uncle and aunt's family, her eldest and third sisters' families, and her plan to open her own shop in the future.

Her parents didn't say anything after hearing this.

In Xu Ying's opinion, the Red Army family was quite impressive. Although they were from the countryside, the eldest and third sisters were both college students, and their families had settled down in the capital.

Although Hongjun has nothing now, according to her plan, the two of them will work in Aunt Su's clothing store for a year, and then set up their own stall next year like Zhang Ning and his friends.

In a year, the money from opening the shop was earned back. Then I transferred my household registration here and bought the shop. It was like a business that could make a living.

The Red Army’s educational level was not low, they only graduated from junior high school.

Xu Ying thought that as long as they worked hard in the future, they could have anything.

They will have a shop for business and a house to live in within five years, and if they really get married, they can live in her parents' house.

This is no big deal.

Hongjun nodded after hearing this, and moved closer to Xu Ying, laughing, "Wife, I will listen to you."

Xu Ying blushed instantly and was furious. "Who is your wife?"

Hongjun pulled her hand and said, "In the future, yes."

Xu Ying felt like she had just dropped a rock on her own feet. She snorted, "You're such a snob."

Hongjun smiled foolishly for a while and told Xu Ying that Gu Erjie was coming over. Xu Ying suddenly became nervous, "What, your mother is coming over?"

"Yes, Hongxing's wife gave birth. My aunt was supposed to come over, but she broke her hand on the way. So my mom had to come."

Hongjun felt very sorry for his aunt. How could his aunt be so unlucky that she fell and broke her bones.

"Then should I go to meet your mother?" Xu Ying asked.

She really didn't expect to meet her parents so soon.

Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange a meal for our family. I'll take you there and my mother will naturally see you."

Her eldest sister and third sister had met Xu Ying, but at that time they didn't know they were dating. They found out later.

"Okay, how long will your mom take?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Xu Ying: "Okay." There are still a few days left, so let her prepare.

The day after tomorrow, it was Gu Jianhua who went to the station to pick up Gu's second sister.

My second brother-in-law also came along. Originally, my second sister Gu planned to come alone, but it was her first time traveling far away, and she was a little timid, so it was better to have someone accompany her in case she got lost.

Besides, since I had finally had the chance to visit the capital, my second brother-in-law also wanted to see the capital of our motherland, so he came along.

He handed the household over to his elder brother Wang Dahu, Ge Cuilan's husband.

Of course, my second brother-in-law only stayed for two or three days and then went back.

"Jianhua, you've gained weight." The second brother-in-law teased Gu Jianhua.

It can't be said to be a joke, Gu Jianhua is indeed fatter than when he was in his hometown.

Gu Erjie, "It's also white."

The second brother-in-law smiled and said, "The land and water in Beijing are good for people."

Gu Jianhua himself didn't notice that he had gained any weight, but he had gained ten pounds. Ever since he started working as a chef in a bakery, he had gained weight without noticing.

Second sister Gu came closer and sniffed Gu Jianhua, "Why do you smell like food?"

"Is there?" Gu Jianhua himself couldn't smell it.

Sister Gu said, "Yes, it's very obvious."

Gu Jianhua was helpless. "I was in the kitchen cooking, so I might have smelled the fumes, but I took a shower last night."

Since he became a chef, he takes a bath before going to bed every night for fear of smelling of cooking fumes.

It still has flavor. Could it be that it’s been marinated?

“How’s the bakery business?”

"Not bad."

The three of them chatted as they arrived at the pancake shop. Gu's second sister was coming over today, so Su He got up early and went to the pancake shop with Gu Jianhua.

"Oh, Xiao He, you are getting younger and younger. You are growing backwards. Look at your fair skin."

"Second sister and second brother-in-law, long time no see."

A few pleasantries were exchanged between the two parties.

The four elders were also there, and Gu's mother made some pancakes for them. "You two didn't eat any, did you?"

The second brother-in-law looked at Gu's parents and said with a smile, "Beijing is really a good place. Mom and Dad, you look a lot younger."
