After successfully borrowing a jeep from the logistics department, Gu Qi went straight out of the city to Huiqiao Village.
As soon as I parked the car, I saw Chen Jixing walking towards me with big strides, and I hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.
Chen Jixing laughed heartily: "Last week, I went to pick up Lingling and Xiaohuzi. She said you were away on a business trip for a few days and didn't know what to do. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to meet you this time!"
When Gu Qi heard the three words "last week", he raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Jixing.
"Just yesterday, Xing'er went to school, and I came to pick up Xiaohuzi. Fourth brother, long time no see."
Qin Tiantian, that woman, is two-faced and misbehaves. When she sees siblings together, she makes wild guesses and believes everything she hears - it's really unreasonable!
Chen Jixing asked him if his business trip went well, and then asked with concern whether his sister was exhausted in the past few days.
"I didn't think much about it at first, but after the order was signed, I started to worry secretly. How could I make so many pieces of fried noodles in such a short time?"
Gu Qi frowned slightly and explained, "She said she stayed up all night for a few days and even took a few days of sick leave from school. She said she asked several people to help her and finally got out."
Chen Jixing stared in surprise, then burst into laughter.
"That's good, that's good! Let me discuss it with my brothers first, and send it to the port the day after tomorrow. The profit should be quite good. After deducting the cost and labor, it should be more than enough to make a few dollars."
This time, Gu Qi was surprised and asked in disbelief, "Is the profit so high?"
Chen Jixing smiled and replied: "Whether it is high or not, only my little sister knows, why don't you go and ask her!"
At this time, Liu Peiyun, who was drying fish maws at the gate, saw Gu Qi and came over to greet him with surprise.
After chatting for a while, Liu Peiyun pointed to the end of the village and explained: "Xiao Huzi went to school with his cousins and didn't come back until noon."
Gu Qi laughed dumbly: "He didn't go to kindergarten, but went to elementary school? A typical case of him filling in the gaps."
"What are you talking about!" Liu Peiyun happily explained to him the various genius performances of the little tiger, "Principal Bai specifically said that he must recommend our little tiger to study in the genius class."
Gu Qi was a little confused and asked, "Really? Genius class?"
"Yes!" Liu Peiyun frowned and shook her head: "But I don't know what your wife is doing. She always says it's not suitable for children and teaches Xiaohu to hide from Principal Bai - I really don't know what that girl is thinking!"
Gu Qi smiled slightly: "No hurry, I'll go and discuss it with Xing'er."
"Hey!" Liu Peiyun smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Little Tiger is your cub, whether you want it or not, you should discuss it among yourselves."
Gu Qi nodded slightly.
Liu Peiyun warmly invited him into the house to drink some water.
"Mom!" Chen Jixing brought out two stools and shouted, "It's cool under the banyan tree. Let's sit here. It's too sunny in the front yard!"
"It's up to you." Liu Peiyun poured two bowls of water and handed them to them.
Gu Qi stood up and took it: "Thank you, Mom."
The mother-in-law narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's hot, drink more. I'll prepare lunch for you."
"Wait!" Chen Jixing shook his head: "Mom, Aqi has a car coming, and I have to ask him to take me to the city to do something. It will probably take until the evening to finish the business, and we have to stay in the city for lunch."
"Ah? What's going on?" Liu Peiyun pointed excitedly in the direction of the kitchen. "Your dad went diving and caught a lobster this morning. It's rare for Aqi to come here, so I have to steam it for him."
"Good news!" Chen Jixing raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Liu Peiyun asked jokingly, "What good thing is that? Can it be better than eating lobster?"
"Of course it's better!" Chen Jixing replied jokingly, "It's more than a thousand times better!"
Liu Peiyun laughed out loud.
Gu Qi, who was standing by, was unconsciously infected by the mother and son and also smiled slightly.
"Mom, you guys can eat the lobsters by yourselves at noon. I'll take my fourth brother to the city to do some work, so I can take advantage of the good fortune. Maybe I can even get a good meal as a driver."
Liu Peiyun nodded hurriedly: "That's great! I must ask him to treat you to a good meal!"
"No." Chen Jixing shrugged with a smile: "The couple should treat me to a meal."
Liu Peiyun asked curiously: "What's wrong? Are you still going to look for your little sister?"
"I usually can't invite Fourth Brother, so today is the best day to do it." Gu Qi suggested with a smile: "Then I'll take you to do your work first, and then we'll go find Xing'er for lunch."
"Okay." Chen Jixing nodded slightly.
Liu Peiyun was confused and patted her son's arm.
"What good news? You need Aqi and the others to treat you to a meal? How can you be so shameless?"
Chen Jixing stood up, put his hands on his old mother's shoulders, and whispered a few words with a smile.
"Really?!" Liu Peiyun was stunned: "Bought it? How wide is it? Have you discussed it with your dad? How many brothers are there?"
Chen Jixing lowered his voice and said, "I talked to them last night, and they all agreed. My dad said that they are all his own flesh and blood, so we should take care of them if we can."
When Liu Peiyun heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded continuously.
“Good…good…very good!”
Gu Qi was not only confused when he saw his mother-in-law with tears in her eyes, but he also politely avoided her and his uncle when he saw that they were whispering.
Chen Jixing hurried into the house and quickly grabbed a small military-colored bag and put it on his back.
"Archie! Let's go!"
Gu Qi had to hurriedly explain to his mother-in-law that he would come to pick up Xiaohuzi in the afternoon, and then took out the key and started the car.
Liu Peiyun smiled and waved: "Okay! Go slowly on the road, don't go too fast!"
The jeep turned around and headed back.
The two chatted about many topics along the way. When they arrived in the city, Gu Qi asked him where to go, and Chen Jixing finally told the truth.
"Let's go to your shipyard! A few days ago, I found that the shipyard has expanded a lot, especially along the river. The large area near the seaport has been occupied by the shipyard."
Gu Qi turned the steering wheel and explained, "It's mainly expanding to the northwest, especially the west. There's a staff dormitory building being built at the north gate, and there are quite a lot of people coming in and out."
Chen Jixing nodded: "The east is Haikou, there is no place to expand, so we can only expand to the west. I asked, and one of the ways is to expand to Shuiyue Road in Chengxi Residential Committee."
"Oh?" Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why is Fourth Brother suddenly interested in these things? To be honest, I don't pay much attention to these."
"Haha!" Chen Jixing laughed, "I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I have to. I bought a few plots of land for you on Shuiyue Road. There's a main road in front of the door, neighbors on the left, and the north gate of your shipyard is a little further to the right."
Gu Qi was a little confused and asked, "Buy land?"
"Yes!" Chen Jixing explained truthfully: "I bought it for my younger sister. Her household registration is still in Yucheng, so the plots of land can be directly registered in her name. Later, I just need to take her ID card, hand it over to the seller, and then go to the neighborhood committee to re-register."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked hesitantly: "Fourth brother, Xing'er doesn't know yet, right? She probably won't accept it..."
"She has to take it even if she doesn't want it!" Chen Jixing emphasized, "It's all been negotiated, and the price has been cut down by my friend and I to 180 yuan per room. He already has a house, and I plan to buy it for him. The housing land in the village is cheap, so our family can buy a whole row at once. This is in the city after all, and the price is much higher. But the room is spacious enough for your family of three to live in!"
Gu Qi: “…”
Chen Jixing smiled heartily and explained, "When I built houses for my brothers, I told them to give each of them a few yuan and they had to pay for the rest themselves. I also told them that my younger sister lived too far away, so when she came, I would give her enough money to buy land. You work in the factory, so she will naturally stay in the city with you. So, I can only come to the city and buy land for the city people secretly."
Having said this, he patted the cloth bag on his thigh.
"I've brought all the money! I'll buy her the land, and when you make money, you can discuss how to build it!"
