After eating the bread, the two chatted one after the other.
Liu Chennian lowered his voice and said, "I know I can't say this, but I still hope you won't be transferred. The factory really can't do without you."
"I'm not that important yet." Gu Qi said calmly, "I'm just helping calculate some data, not that important."
Liu Chennian couldn't help but mutter, "Old Guo was very worried recently. He kept explaining to his superiors that most of the shipyard's design drawings were drawn by you, and they would be in trouble without you. He even said that without you, they would not be able to build ships in the future, and they must not transfer you away."
"Don't worry." Gu Qi smiled: "I'm just helping to draw a few pictures and calculate some small data. I don't want to be transferred. My wife and children are all here. I don't want to go anywhere else."
He was unable to take his wife with him when he went abroad to study, which caused them to be separated for three years. Although she didn't say it, he knew she suffered a lot during that time.
He had missed it once and couldn't make the same mistake again. You can find another job, but you can only have one family.
If he really wanted to be transferred, he would definitely refuse. No matter how bright the future was, it couldn't compare to a family living together in harmony and happiness.
When he can't have his cake and eat it too, he would rather choose the simplest happiness.
Liu Chennian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it. The factory's technical department really can't do without you now. Occasionally, when you're not here, those apprentices can't do anything. Old Guo would rather let them wait, fearing that the final effect will be wrong, wasting resources and manpower and material resources."
Gu Qi said calmly: "It's not that exaggerated. Anyway, I don't want to be transferred. I can just borrow it temporarily."
Just then, car lights came on ahead on the road and slowly came towards this side.
Liu Chennian said quickly: "Someone should be sent to pick you up! Everything is ready, come back quickly!"
At this late hour in the evening, there wasn't even a single car on the road. One could tell at a glance that it could only be a car sent by the higher-ups.
"Yeah." Gu Qi whispered, "Please come visit my house when you have time. If my wife encounters any problems, try to help solve them. My other relatives all depend on her for care. She has to go to school, make money, and take care of the family. It's not easy."
Liu Chennian agreed immediately: "No problem!"
While they were talking, the other party's car had already come up to the side.
Then, a man hurriedly got off the car, stood straight and saluted.
Gu Qi got out of the car and quickly changed to another one.
Soon, the car turned around and drove quickly into the dark night.
…
The next morning, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing came over.
"What?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked in surprise, "Brother is on a business trip? When did it happen? Didn't he want to go with us to look at the house this morning?"
Chen Xingling shook his head. "There was nothing he could do. The factory car came to pick him up at about ten o'clock last night and ordered him to leave immediately. He packed a few clothes and got in the car and left."
Gu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother goes on business trips from time to time - where exactly does he go? What does he do?"
"You can't ask." Chen Xingling replied: "He has to go wherever his superiors assign him to go on business trips. He said not to ask or talk, so we shouldn't ask anything. It's enough to support him silently."
Although Archie didn't say anything, she still guessed something secretly, but she never asked Archie and never told outsiders about it.
She trusted Archie and knew that what he did was definitely beneficial to the country and the people. She was proud of him.
Whenever her superior needed his help, she would silently support him.
Gu Yi's face was full of worry, and he frowned and said, "We are still waiting for Big Brother to help us look at that house! Sister-in-law, the other party said it is very urgent. If you want it, you have to buy it in the next two days, otherwise they will go away. The location of the house is really good, not far from the shipyard, and also close to you."
"There's no rush." Chen Xingling said, "I'm going to buy river sand and cement with my fourth brother this morning. I'll try to help you check it out in the evening. We need to ask carefully."
"Sister-in-law, but..." Gu Yi shook his head in embarrassment: "Isn't it too late? They said they will be traveling far away by car in the next two days - what if they can't make it in time?"
Chen Xingling said: "Be careful when buying a house, don't agree easily."
After a while, Chen Jixing and his brother came driving a tractor.
Chen Xingling hurried out and shouted, "Wait until I come back in the evening, then we can discuss it together!"
After saying this, she got on the tractor and left.
Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing looked at each other, both feeling quite anxious.
"What should I do? My sister-in-law said to wait and see in the evening - but it will take at least the day after tomorrow to decide."
"What if they sell it to someone else?"
"Let's go over and ask first."
The two men closed the gate and walked down along the water.
…
Early in the morning, there was a crowd of people at the gate of Chongwen Middle School, all of whom were young people.
Ma Dali rode his bicycle with his brother to the outermost edge and shouted, "Erli, take a look! Look at the first big red paper! Come quickly!"
Ma Erli hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and moved forward with difficulty.
After a while, he came back with a smile on his face.
"Brother! I saw it! My name is the seventh in the second row!"
Ma Dali smiled happily and said, "Oh, it's finally done. Let's go back home and sign up for class on the morning of the Lantern Festival."
"Yes!" Ma Erli explained, "That's what it says on the books. Sign up and get the books on the morning of the Lantern Festival, and classes will start the next day."
Ma Dali smiled happily: "Teacher Lin is the director of the senior class. I have remembered what she said a long time ago. I will send you over and introduce you to her. She is a very kind teacher. If you encounter any trouble here in the future, no matter how big or small the matter is, just ask her for help. She is warm and generous and is willing to help others. As long as you find her, she will definitely help you."
Ma Erli nodded: "Yes."
"Get in the car." Ma Dali said, "I'll take you to the village entrance. I have something to take care of later."
Ma Erli said quickly: "Brother, no need, I can walk back by myself."
"Come up." Ma Dali said, "I want to find Master Zhang. It's half way here, so I'll take you to the village entrance. You must study every minute now. You don't have to do other work for the time being, but you can't relax at all in your studies."
"Tuo." Ma Erli responded.
Since the bike gradually stabilized, Ma Dali has been able to control the speed and balance skillfully, and his riding skills are getting better and better.
"I have asked Lingling and his wife to buy me a bicycle ticket if anyone is selling it. I plan to buy a bicycle."
There are not many bicycle tickets on the market, and it is very difficult to buy one. Generally, one ticket can cost more than ten yuan, or even twenty yuan. But with a ticket, you can save dozens of yuan when buying a bicycle.
The shipyard would occasionally have bicycle tickets, and he had told Gu Qi and Ling Ling that if they heard someone wanted to sell tickets, they must find a way to buy them, because he planned to buy a bicycle next.
Ma Erli was surprised and asked, "Brother, you-you want to buy a bicycle? Really?"
"Yes." Ma Dali lowered his voice: "The money I have on hand is barely enough for me to spend. I have to go to class and work, so I must save some time and not waste too much time on the road."
In the past, Uncle Liao's garden was very close to Chongqing University, so he could run back and forth between the school and the construction site every day. But in the future, the location of the construction site could not be determined, so the transportation tools had to be obtained in advance.
Lingling is right, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
The communication tool is also one of his tools. He has to make good use of the money he has and get this done quickly.
Ma Erli asked in disbelief: "Brother, where do you get so much money? Do you really make that much money by contracting work at the construction site?"
"It's just so-so." Ma Dali replied, "It's enough to make a living. The main thing is that my partner is very capable and can always make money in various ways. The money I have on hand is all earned thanks to her. I plan to work with her in the future and make sure I can make a lot of money in the future."
Most of the money he had was spent on building a house, and there was not much left. But Ling Ling's trick of "selling blue crabs" helped him get out of poverty again in just two days!
Part of the money will be used to buy a car, and the rest will be saved for living expenses and the tuition of my younger siblings.
Ma Erli asked in surprise: "Brother, how about -- how about adding me, please?"
