Chen Xingling had just unscrewed a small box and was about to get out, but Chen Jixing was so scared that he grabbed her head and pushed it inside.
"Hurry...hide!"
Chen Xingling was careless for a moment and was pushed by him, stumbling and falling. Fortunately, the ground was covered with grass, so she was lucky enough not to get hurt. However, the oil on her hands was a bit heavy, and her posture was wrong, so her wrist was pulled and hurt!
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?"
Chen Jixing quickly stood aside to block the door, staring at the military-colored jeep vigilantly, with panic in his eyes and face.
"Don't come out...it seems like someone is coming."
Someone? Who?
Chen Xingling didn't care about his wrist and quickly threw the box away. He leaned out and looked around carefully, almost revealing a smile of surprise.
Then, she came out from behind her fourth brother and quickly ran down the stairs.
"Archie? Is Archie back?"
At this time, the door of the jeep was pushed open, and Gu Qi stepped down with his straight long legs. He was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, and he looked elegant and rigorous, with a particularly outstanding refined temperament.
Gu Qi stepped out of the car, carrying a luggage bag in one hand and a black briefcase in the other.
"Aqi!" Chen Xingling rushed forward.
Gu Qi smiled happily, threw the luggage bag away, and hugged his wife who rushed over.
When Chen Jixing saw that it was Gu Qi, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared..."
The people in the jeep saluted Gu Qi, then turned the car around and quickly left, disappearing at the end of Shuiyue Road.
Chen Jixing introduced him to Lao Luo with a smile: "Don't be afraid, that's my brother-in-law. He works in the shipyard ahead and is one of the best engineers there!"
Lao Luo was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You scared yourself... that's terrible."
Gu Qi put his arm around his wife's shoulders, looked around, then looked at Chen Jixing, and greeted him with a smile: "Fourth Brother."
Then he looked at Lao Luo and nodded politely.
Chen Jixing laughed and asked, "Why are you back at this time? We were just busy, and when we saw a military vehicle coming, we wondered who it was. Oh, right! This is Lao Luo, the leader of our shipping company."
Gu Qi explained in a gentle voice: "It's inconvenient to be on a business trip. Get things done quickly and try to come back early. Fourth brother, Mr. Luo, please come in for tea."
“No, no.” Lao Luo secretly winked at Chen Jixing and said, “Thank you very much! We have something else to do, so we won’t come in to bother you anymore.”
Chen Jixing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! We have to move these - these water tanks into the car - we have other things to do later!"
The ship was about to go out to sea, and the things in the warehouse had to be prepared and checked. Lao Luo had been anxious for half a month about this batch of oil, and finally got it done. He had to transport it back and register it quickly, otherwise he would not feel at ease at all.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and seeing several boxes on the tractor and a few more in his yard, he handed the black briefcase to his wife.
"What are these? Come, I'll help carry them."
Chen Jixing turned his eyes slightly and looked for help at his younger sister who was staring at her husband with a "crazy" smile on her face, motioning her to help explain.
The oil is too eye-catching and there is too much of it. If you don't talk about it on the street, it will be bad if someone accidentally hears it.
The transaction was very successful and we didn't want to cause trouble to the other seller. After all, it's not easy to do business these days.
Just deal with it first, and once they enter the house, the young couple will explain everything clearly.
"Oh oh!" Chen Xingling reacted quickly and lied, "This is water. There is a water shortage at the factory, and the river water brought in is a bit dirty, so it's not suitable to drink directly. I asked my fourth brother to come to my house to get some clean water to drink first. When the house is built, we can connect the water pipe and drink it."
Chen Jixing: “…” Anyone who believes it is a fool!
"That's it." Gu Qi nodded and quickly helped to carry it.
With one more person helping, everything can be loaded onto the tractor in no time.
Chen Jixing looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back first. Aqi, you take a rest first. We can have tea and chat together tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when we are free."
"Yes." Gu Qi smiled and nodded: "Drive carefully."
Lao Luo politely shook hands with Gu Qi and then with Chen Xingling.
"Thank you for your help. Goodbye!"
Chen Xingling flicked his wrist quietly and said with a smile: "Come over for tea next time when you are free. You already know the place, come and patronize it more often in the future."
"Yes." Lao Luo got on the tractor happily.
Soon, the tractor rumbled away.
Gu Qi walked into the house with his bag in his hand and asked with concern, "Xing'er, what happened to your hand?"
Chen Xingling closed the door and smiled bitterly: "My fourth brother pushed me just now, and my wrist seems to be twisted. It hurts a little when I move."
"Come, let me help you." Gu Qi pulled her into the house and saw that her wrist seemed to be slightly swollen. He said softly, "It looks like it's okay. I'll pour some medicinal wine for you to rub."
Chen Xingling sat lazily in the recliner, watching him wash and wipe his hands, pour medicinal wine and move the small stool over, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qi lowered his head to pinch her wrist and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and pouted, "Are you still pretending? You're not going to ask? Really? Don't tell me you can't find out - I don't believe it!"
Gu Qi laughed dumbly and said softly, "If you say it's water, then it is water. Water and oil have different densities. Clean water has no color, but oil has color. Even if I'm not smart, I still have some common sense."
Those buckets were clearly full of oil, but she said they were water.
She must have her reasons for saying that, so he believed it was water.
Chen Xingling held her chin up and asked with a sweet smile: "If I said it was full of money, would you believe it?"
"Trust." Gu Qi smiled and whispered, "The most important thing between husband and wife is trust. I believe you won't lie to me for no reason, so whatever you say is what it is."
He thought he had a good eye for observation. Before he got off the car, his fourth uncle and Lao Luo both looked terrified, obviously afraid of something.
After the jeep left, he suddenly smelled a faint scent of sesame oil and quickly guessed what it was.
Oil was a rare commodity, and a family was only allocated half a pound of oil coupons per month. Even if you wanted to buy more, you couldn’t, unless you went through special channels.
Chen Xingling narrated the whole story to him in a low voice, explaining: "I helped with the introduction and earned a little commission as a middleman. Of course, I also put in some work - helping with the packing."
Gu Qi smiled dotingly, and then asked, "How much is the referral fee? Can I have a little?"
"More than that." Chen Xingling chuckled proudly: "More than a dollar. That... probably about one or two hundred yuan."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "So many?"
"The price is high, the more you buy, the more you earn." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "Two hundred kilograms - this is a big customer. Besides, I've been busy all day. And, I'm still injured at work, right? I have to pay a little more."
Gu Qi was amused by her and pinched her wrist.
"The work injury has been treated. Come back in half an hour."
Chen Xingling snuggled into his arms and acted coquettishly: "I've given you my whole self, how can you still be greedy?"
Gu Qi hugged her tightly and kissed her lovingly.
"It's been a few days since I left, and you've been busy all over the house and outside. Xing'er, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xingling hugged his neck and shook his head: "Not that hard. Today is a great day. I made a lot of money and you came home. Double happiness! Hehe! I can't be too happy!"
Fourth brother didn't have much money, and fourth sister-in-law had to invest her money in building a factory, so the first batch of embroidery products purchased this time were all paid for by her.
There weren't many types of embroidery. The handkerchiefs and pillowcases were not expensive. The fabric of the tablecloths was good, and the embroidery was intricate and exquisite. The quantity purchased was large, and the price was the most expensive, so almost all the money she had was invested in them, leaving only a little for her to spend.
I thought I had to save some money, but unexpectedly, another opportunity to make money came up and I made another 900 yuan in one go!
Excluding the money spent on buying the plastic boxes, I can probably make more than 800 yuan this time!
Gu Qi had been busy outside for a few days and his head was aching. When he came back and saw the house was clean and tidy, and his beloved wife had made a lot of money again, he felt very relieved.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. The two of them were affectionate with each other for a while before they were willing to let go of each other.
Gu Qi kissed her cheek and hugged her gently.
"Little Tiger, has school started? I vaguely remember it was today."
Chen Xingling leaned lazily on him and hummed softly.
Suddenly, she sat up straight!
Gu Qi was startled by her sudden action and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I... forgot to pick up my son from school! It's almost dark!"
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows, then smiled dotingly.
"It's okay. I'll take it."
