096 The Time Has Come
"Xiao He, phone call!"
Auntie leaned on the counter and shouted outside.
Gao Qinghe had to answer two or three calls from Jiang Baohai every day these past two days. In order to avoid running around, he would go to the convenience store when he had nothing to do.
Now he has successfully entered the gossip group of Shanghe Village and become one of it.
Hearing the grandma's cry, the members of the group next to them cast teasing glances at Gao Qinghe.
Even Gao Qinghe subconsciously thought that it was Jiang Baohai calling.
She nodded to the old lady, slowly cracked the melon seeds in her hand, threw away a handful of melon seed shells, and walked into the convenience store as usual to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
Gao Qinghe's voice is sweet, the kind that makes you feel sick.
Lu Gaoming was so scared that he got goosebumps all over his body!
"Gao Qinghe?"
A cold and majestic mezzo-soprano voice came from the other end of the phone, and Gao Qinghe felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Ahem!" She quickly adjusted her tone, and her lazy body posture immediately became straight.
Seriously: "Director Lu, it's me, it's me."
Lu Gaoming thought this person was strange. Why did his tone change so drastically every time?
He asked Gao Qinghe about her health. "It's easy to catch a cold when the weather changes from spring to summer. Are you okay?"
Gao Qinghe: "Hahaha, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Lu Gaoming then said, "Come to the factory when you have time. Your commission has been paid and the check has been sent to me."
Gao Qinghe had some guesses just now, but now when he heard the confirmed answer, a smile appeared on his tone.
"Okay, I'll come as soon as possible."
Lu Gaoming notified everyone and hung up the phone without any greetings.
As soon as Gao Qinghe walked out of the store, Auntie and others came up to her and asked her why she knew the factory director and which factory he was from.
Gao Qinghe thought about what he was going to do next and said half-truthfully:
"Oh, nothing much. It's Director Lu from the button factory in the county town. I helped her get a button order, so she asked me to go to the city to collect the thank-you fee when I have time."
Auntie was surprised and said, "Xiao He, you even know the factory director. You are really capable!"
Others also asked, "Do we get paid for helping the factory get orders? Is it a lot? How much?"
"Of course I have to pay them for buying things for them, but I don't know how much. It should be quite a lot. Director Lu is a generous man. I'll see when I go to the city."
Everyone was envious and praised Gao Qinghe for not only her beauty but also her great abilities.
Some people even tried to ask Gao Qinghe to help them make money.
Gao Qinghe neither refused nor agreed, she just said that she would go and ask, and if the factory still wanted to sell it, she would take everyone to try it out.
Regardless of whether this was true or false, everyone felt comfortable after hearing it, and felt that Gao Qinghe was a man who did not forget his roots.
After making it big on his own, he still didn't forget to help the villagers.
Gao Qinghe responded eloquently and won a wave of admiration.
He bought two bags of brown sugar and a bag of nutritious milk powder from the canteen, waved to everyone, and walked towards Team One.
Someone wondered: "Where is she going? Isn't this the way back to Gao's house?"
"I guess he went to Zheng Laowu's house to look for Yanqiu. These two have been together every day these days." Auntie speculated.
The direction of Zheng Laowu's house is the direction Gao Qinghe is going.
Everyone nodded, that was probably it.
Gao Qinghe was not surprised at all that the destination was guessed.
Carrying the things, he went straight to Zheng Laowu's house.
It was mid-afternoon, and the busy people were still in the fields or working in the construction team.
Gao Qinghe was not sure whether Huang Yanqiu was at home.
But she knew that there must be someone from the Zheng family.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the gate and yard of Zheng's house, I saw Zheng's mother feeding chickens with crushed corn.
After shouting "cluck, cluck, cluck" a few times, soon there were more than a dozen roosters and hens surrounding him.
Zheng Laowu's family has not yet split up, and since there are so many people, they need as many rooms as possible.
So there are two earthen houses next to each other, surrounded by half-person-high blue brick walls, which makes them look better than other houses.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to afford the 1,800 yuan dowry for my youngest son to marry.
"Aunt, where is Yanqiu?"
Gao Qinghe walked straight into the yard and asked with a smile.
When Zheng's mother heard the voice, she turned around and looked at the person first, and then looked to see if she brought anything.
Seeing that she was holding something, including a bag of nutritious milk powder in bright packaging, Zheng's mother immediately showed a warm smile on her face.
"Hello! What a rare guest! Come in and sit down!"
Mother Zheng quickly put down the chicken feed in her hand, scooped some water to wash her hands, and led Gao Qinghe into the house.
While making her some sugar water, he said politely, "Look at you, you just came, why are you bringing anything? You're really polite."
It’s no wonder that Zheng’s mother is so enthusiastic. Who in the village doesn’t know that Gao Qinghe has a coal boss boyfriend?
A few days ago, he came to the village to donate money to repair the tap water, which was a very impressive thing.
Don't judge by appearances, judge by appearances. You never know when you may need help from someone in the future, so you naturally want to leave a good impression.
On another level, Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu are cousins, so she can also be considered as the new bride's family member.
As for Huang Yanqiu's dear brothers and sisters, none of them have come since that incident.
Mother Zheng didn't even want to mention them. She put the sugar water in front of Gao Qinghe, sat down opposite her, and asked with a smile:
"It's really unfortunate that you came to see Yanqiu at this time. Today it's Laowu's turn to help out at the construction team. His leg hasn't healed yet, so he sent Yanqiu. Laowu was worried about his new wife, so he went with her. I guess the two of them won't be back until the evening."
What are you worried about?
To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that people will run away again.
Gao Qinghe smiled politely and said nothing.
Mother Zheng tried to test him: "How about this? You wait at home. I'll kill a chicken and we can have dinner at my house tonight!"
"No."
Gao Qinghe put down the things he brought and stood up.
"Aunt, please wait for Yanqiu to come back and tell her that the thing I promised her before has come to fruition. Tell her to get ready and leave tomorrow if possible."
Leaving tomorrow!
Where are you going?
Mother Zheng was a little confused. How come she didn't know what Huang Yanqiu had asked Gao Qinghe for?
But before she could ask, Gao Qinghe had already left.
He looked like he didn't want to say much and was very mysterious.
Zheng's mother can't stand to hear the word "leave" the most now. She has been traumatized by Huang Yanqiu's previous escape from marriage.
I couldn't wait for the young couple to finish work in the evening.
As soon as Gao Qinghe left, Zheng's mother locked the gate and rushed to the construction team's work site.
After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the work site panting.
When he saw his little son sitting on the roadside waiting for him and Huang Yanqiu working, his pounding heart finally calmed down a little.
"Mom, why are you here?" Zheng Laowu was surprised.
Zheng's mother ignored him and walked straight towards Huang Yanqiu.
Huang Yanqiu was busy when she saw her mother-in-law walking towards her angrily. She felt confused.
But the next moment of doubt, I heard Zheng's mother say:
"What did you discuss with Gao Qinghe? What about whether to leave tomorrow? Where are you going?"
Huang Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.
This is the signal given by Gao Qinghe, the time has come!
