Lu Zhenchuan said, "And I remember there's a post office near our home."
Gu Ranzhou looked at his watch and said, "Let's go now!"
"good."
Lu Zhenchuan continued, "After Zhou Zhou sends the telegram, let's make arrangements as soon as possible!"
"good."
The two went to the post office together, and closed the door when they went out. They both got into the car, closed the door, and drove away.
When they arrived at the post office, the two men opened the car door, got out, slammed the door shut, and went inside.
As soon as the two men walked in, the post office staff saw them. Perhaps because it was too early, there were not many people in the post office at this time: "Comrades, what are you doing here?"
Gu Ranzhou said, "I'm going to send a telegram back."
The post office staff didn't realize that the man wasn't here to send a letter, but a telegram. You know, sending a telegram is much more expensive than sending a letter. "Oh, comrade, telegrams here are charged by the word. Three words are 5 cents."
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. I'm a little anxious. Can you send me a telegram now?"
The post office staff hurried over to the colleague who was supposed to send the telegram: "Okay."
Gu Ranzhou suddenly remembered some questions and asked, "Oh, right! Let me ask, do you pick up telegrams like this yourself or have them delivered to your door?"
The post office staff hurriedly explained: "It was delivered to your door, because most of the time telegrams are used for emergencies, otherwise they wouldn't be used."
Gu Ranzhou nodded. "That's true. If it wasn't so urgent, I wouldn't be so extravagant as to send a telegram."
The post office clerk smiled and said, "Comrade, there's one requirement before you send a telegram. Do you have an accurate address?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said, "Yes." Then he took out the letter sent by Gu Jianqiang from his pocket and handed the address to the staff.
Because Gu Hujue's father lived in the provincial hospital and he couldn't fill in his home address if he asked his uncle for help, so he asked the person who helped write the letter to write the address and room number of the hospital where his father lived at the end of the letter, so that he would know where to send the letter.
The post office clerk took the paper from Gu Ranzhou, glanced at it, and then said, "Okay, comrade. How many words do you want to take?"
"Finish the family affairs immediately, buy train tickets and bring fourth brother to the capital." After saying this, Gu Ranzhou attached the address where he currently lives.
After the post office attendant finished typing the telegram, he said to Gu Ranzhou, "Okay, comrade, I'll send you 30 words for a total of 90 cents."
Lu Zhenchuan took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the post office clerk. The clerk took the money and gave him a dime in change.
"Zhouzhou."
Gu Ranzhou nodded, "Well, let's go home!"
"Okay!" Then the two of them walked out of the post office together and got in the car.
Lu Zhenchuan drove the car to the designated parking spot, and the two of them got out of the car and walked home.
Just as Lu Zhenchuan and Gu Ranzhou were about to enter the door, they saw Song Xiong running towards them in a hurry and stopped.
"What's wrong, Master Song? Did something happen?"
Song Xiong wiped the blood from his forehead and said, "Nothing happened. It's just that the other houses we built are almost done. Some are already drying, and a few others have already been dried. I wanted to ask if you guys want to go take a look?"
Lu Zhenchuan was instantly surprised and said, "So fast?"
Song Xiong explained with a smile: "It's already very slow, so we might as well just pick the smaller ones and then move on to the bigger ones after we finish the smaller ones."
After listening to Song Xiong's words, Lu Zhenchuan nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Let's go and take a look now."
"Okay!"
Gu Ranzhou asked, "Master Song, how many buildings are left to be renovated?"
Song Xiong said, "There are only four left. The remaining ones are large houses, so the renovation will be a bit slow. But fortunately, you didn't ask us to make major changes, so it will be completed in two or three months."
After hearing this, Gu Ranzhou said, "That's good!"
Song Xiong led Gu Ranzhou and Lu Zhenchuan into the house on the street. They checked it carefully and found no problems, so they nodded.
Gu Ranzhou and Lu Zhenchuan looked at each other and nodded, then turned to Song Xiong and said, "Master Song, shall we move on to the next one?"
Song Xiong looked at them carefully after they had only walked around the house once. "What? So fast? Comrade Gu, Comrade Lu, aren't you going to take another close look?"
Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and said, "No need, Master Song. We trust you, and you did a great job on the first house you renovated. Let's go look at other ones, shall we?"
Song Xiong was stunned after hearing this, then said, "Okay, let's go now."
Song Xiong took them to look at the renovated and finished small houses and then returned to Gu Ranzhou's house.
Lu Zhenchuan poured Song Xiong a glass of water and said, "Master Song, we've almost finished looking at the houses. After you finish renovating the last four houses, we'll go and settle the balance."
"By the way, let's call Director Wu as well. His final payment should be settled soon."
Song Xiong took the water Lu Zhenchuan handed him, took a sip, shook his head, and said, "That won't work. You must inspect the house before we can collect the final payment. Since you trust us so much, we have to go through the whole process so that we can have a clear understanding."
Gu Ranzhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Master Song."
After Song Xiong finished drinking the water, he felt that he was almost done and stood up and said to them, "Okay, I'll be leaving now."
After hearing this, Lu Zhenchuan hurriedly said, "Master Song, won't you sit for a while longer?"
Song Xiong shook his head and said, "No, no, I have to go back to work."
Gu Ranzhou and Lu Zhenchuan smiled as they sent Song Xiong out the door, and only came back after the people left.
Lu Zhenchuan sat on the stool and thought for a moment, then asked, "Zhou Zhou, what were you doing with the hoe when I first came back?"
Gu Ranzhou pointed to the sapling in the corner and said, "Do you see that sapling? Plant it."
"That's right!"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said, "Well, the other hoe is yours. I'll use it as a good opportunity to clear the land in the yard and plant some vegetables."
"good."
…………
In the Qing Province Hospital, a man in a post office uniform walked to the leftmost ward on the second floor, opened the door and walked in, and saw several beds.
"Hello, which one of you is Comrade Gu Jianqiang?"
Gu Jianqiang, lying pale on the hospital bed, suddenly heard his name and hurriedly said, "Comrade Postman, this is me. What can I do for you?"
The postman hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Gu Jianqiang: "There is a telegram for you."
Gu Jianqiang and Yu Jinhua were a little bewildered when they heard this and asked, "Telegram?"
