Chapter 265 Calling Home
Her man is naturally the best!
Hearing the praises of her man from others, she felt sweet bubbles in her heart. She looked at Chen Kuo with a smile and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Granny Chen kept praising Chen Kuo in different ways along the way. I guess her own son has never been praised like this by his own mother, right?
Gu Zhenqi and Chen Kuo listened while keeping their eyes fixed on the two little kids jumping in front of them!
After sending them to the kindergarten, the two walked in opposite directions, he went to work and Gu Zhenqi went to the clinic. Before they parted, they made an appointment to call home after lunch to tell them what they had agreed on last night.
At the beginning of the year, a telephone was installed in the home of every village chief in my hometown. If there was anything, people would call the village chief directly, and his wife would go and help call someone to answer the call.
When she arrived at the clinic, as soon as she sat down, a patient who came to see her came in impatiently. She had no choice but to put on her white coat while examining the patient.
After finishing her morning consultation, she checked the time, said hello to the other people in the clinic, and went to a nearby phone booth to call home.
She picked the right time. The village chief's family had just returned from working in the fields. When they received her call, the village chief's wife happily exchanged a few words with her and sent her eldest son to call for help.
This is a phone call from Kyoto. My son and daughter are going to take the college entrance exam next year. If they are admitted to Kyoto, I will definitely take care of them for the sake of our friendship as fellow villagers!
Gu Zhenqi is good-looking and capable, and she married a military officer. The villagers' perception of her changed 180 degrees after she joined the army!
I finally got her call, so I had to say a few words to her. I had no friendship at all, but I was trying to get some attention. The village head's wife said:
"Zhenqi, how are you doing in Kyoto? Is your husband treating you well? How are the children? When will you come back? Don't you know that the villagers miss you so much when you go to Kyoto? We miss you so much here."
Gu Zhenqi had heard too many polite words like this. Now that she was using the words, she couldn't refuse her. She had to wait for her parents and family to come over to answer the phone anyway, so she politely replied:
"Very well. How is the village head's family? Is she in good health?"
"Good, everything is good. Now that the production quota has been assigned to each household, every household has their own land to farm! Now we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore. Every family has some surplus food, and pockets are not so empty. How can we take out ten or eight yuan?
Some young people have gone to work in the county town. Some have gone even further, to Guangdong Province in the south!
I heard that there is gold everywhere over there. We are old and don’t have the brains and energy anymore. We can only live off the land and work hard!
Zhenqi, is Kyoto also full of gold? My two children will take the college entrance examination next year. Then I will send them to Kyoto. You can help each other, right? ”
"Look at what you said. I came to Kyoto to follow the army. I am a woman with two children, and I stay at home all day long. Even if there is gold everywhere, it is not my turn, right?
Chen Kuo and his troops are not in the urban area, so it is very inconvenient for us to go in and out due to the layers of inspection. We are fellow villagers living in the same village, so if I can help, I will definitely help! ”
The village head's wife was also a smart person. How could she not understand the polite words? She smiled and said:
"Look at what you're saying. Even if Kyoto is remote, it's still better than our village, right? You're a soldier now. The army can't just leave your family alone. Even if they didn't arrange a job for you, it's a stable job with public rations. You two are both getting paid, and the company is providing housing. Aren't you living a wonderful life?"
Gu Zhenqi chuckled:
"Aunt, you know that Ruiduo, Fei'an and the others are still young and can't leave their parents alone. There are so many things to do at home!
Besides, I don’t have any qualifications, so how can the army assign me a job?
Originally, I was accompanying the army, which was already taking up organizational resources. Now, if I were to ask for another assignment, I really couldn't do it?
Or maybe your two children are very capable and will become college students next year. The country's development cannot do without talented and capable people like them. They will definitely have a bright future. In the future, maybe I will have to ask your family for help. ”
The village head's wife was overjoyed when she heard this. It must be said that children are always the soft spot of their parents. The village head's wife was a little confused now, and said with a smile:
"Oh, what's the difference? If they are really capable, wouldn't the villagers help them? Well, wait a little longer, your family will be here soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zhenqi's mother Qu Ru came trotting over in a hurry. The village head's wife handed her the phone and stepped aside.
Qu Ru said excitedly: "Zhenqi, is that you?"
"Mom, it's me!"
"Hey, my dear daughter, you haven't contacted your family for a long time, but I'm worried to death. Are you okay over there? How are you and Chen Kuo doing? Have you had any quarrels?
Are Ruiduo and Feian sick? Is it hard for you to take care of them by yourself? Do you want your mother to help you?
You said that you are a child who has never suffered any hardship since childhood, and now you are living alone outside, I am really worried about you? ”
She asked questions like a machine gun, and the others who were waiting on the side looked anxious, eager to step forward and take the phone to talk to Gu Zhenqi.
Gu Zhenqi, who was on the other end of the phone, listened to her mother's caring nagging over the phone, and her eyes unconsciously became red, and her heart was warm. From childhood to adulthood, everyone has loved her like a treasure.
Just as my mother said, no matter how bad the growing environment was or how difficult the times were?
She was the one who was cared for by her family. She had never been cold or hungry. Her voice was trembling:
"Mom, I'm fine. Ruiduo and Fei'an are healthy and have a lot of fun playing in kindergarten every day! Chen Kuo is a very nice person. As long as he is at home, he will cook, wash clothes, and clean the house!
The reason I’m calling you this time is that I’m planning to open a few stores, and I’d like to ask you, dad, brother, and sisters-in-law to come and help. Of course, this depends on your own wishes. I want our family to be together! ”
Qu Ru hasn't recovered from the shock of what Gu Zhenqi said: Chen Kuo cooks, does laundry, and cleans the house at home?
Then she heard the news that her daughter asked her family to go to Kyoto. The amount of information was too much for her to digest. She turned around and looked at the people behind her:
"Zhenqi, wait a minute. I'll ask your dad, your brother, and your sister-in-law to talk to you in person, okay? Mom will listen to you. I don't have any other expectations. As long as you are all well, I won't ask for anything else!"
Qu Ru waved to gather them around her, whispered Gu Zhenqi's general meaning to them, and handed the phone to them. Several people took turns talking to her on the phone.
Fifteen minutes later, they made a decision. They decided to go back and discuss it together. After all, the whole family was going to Kyoto, so they had to make arrangements for everything at home.
Gu Zhenqi followed her family's advice, hung up the phone, and waited for them to arrange everything at home. On her side, she had to deal with matters related to the opening of the shop!
