Fourth brother called?!
Chen Xingling smiled in surprise and asked, "He's in Country M? What did he say? When will he call?"
Gu Qi looked at his watch and replied, "He said he would call back at 5:30 and asked you to remember to answer the call. There are still ten minutes left. Let's go to the factory communications department and wait."
Zhao Xiaoxing jumped out of the car and greeted Gu Qi.
Gu Qi said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Xing, Mom and Yin Mo are both inside. Go cook first, we will be back in about ten minutes."
"Hey!" Zhao Xiaoxing nodded repeatedly.
Chen Xingling and Gu Qi hurried to the factory and went straight to the Communications Department.
The Communications Department and the Logistics Office have people on duty fourteen hours a day. Because it is off-duty time, there is usually only one person on duty.
Gu Qi greeted the other party and explained that there was an overseas call coming and the content was very important.
The other party quickly answered and carefully put the phone to the window.
Gu Qi brought a high stool and said softly, "Xing'er, sit down and wait."
"Thank you." Chen Xingling asked with a smile: "When did my fourth brother call?"
Gu Qi thought for a moment and answered, "About 3:30 in the afternoon."
Chen Xingling was secretly looking forward to it, and lowered her voice: "I wonder how the sales of the embroidery products are going... I suddenly feel a little nervous."
Gu Qi smiled slightly and said softly, "Fourth Brother should have just arrived not long ago, right? Judging from the time, he should have just arrived not long ago. It's impossible for us to get news so soon."
"It's better not to fight." Chen Xingling muttered.
Gu Qi reminded: "Maybe he has something to ask you to tell Fourth Sister-in-law. The phone at the village committee is sometimes unreachable, and sometimes no one answers, so Fourth Brother calls the factory."
In this era when communication and internet were underdeveloped, telephones were considered an extremely expensive means of communication.
A telephone costs thousands of yuan, and you have to apply for it from a formal department. Not everyone can install a telephone if they have money. Even if you want to install one in your private residence, you have to apply to the telecommunications department, and it is not easy to get approved.
The shipyard is one of the largest factories in Chongqing, and there are only three telephones in the factory: one in the building, one in the logistics department, and this one.
Originally there was only one, but it was the factory director's perseverance in applying for it that later the other two were connected one after another.
The village committee in Huiqiao Village also has one, which was installed just two years ago. Unfortunately, it may be a problem with the line and it often cannot be connected.
In addition, there is not someone on duty at the village committee every day, so most of the calls are not answered even if they are connected.
Chen Xingling had invested a lot of money in embroidery, so she was reluctant to let it go to waste. Although she said it lightly, she was actually very worried in her heart.
"You'll know when he calls. There are still a few minutes."
The couple was in love, and Gu Qi couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he learned that she had been waiting for news about her embroidery recently.
"Xing'er, you said before that you invested all your fortune - does that mean you invested all the money you made before? How much is it?"
Chen Xingling told the truth: "More than a thousand, close to two thousand. Tablecloths are quite expensive, and we bought several hundred of them at once."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but didn't know what to say.
"Wait and see what Fourth Brother has to say."
If it doesn't sell, the money will probably be lost. No matter what, the investment is made, and it's too late to say anything now.
In addition, there is no need to be too anxious. He believes very much in his wife's investment vision and has great confidence in her.
At this moment, she was anxiously waiting for the "result", and he couldn't say anything nonsense to irritate her and make her more anxious and uncomfortable.
Chen Xingling pursed his lips and whispered, "Aqi, if... I mean if... I lose everything, I'll feel really bad."
"It's okay." Gu Qi smiled and comforted: "If you lose, you lose. You can earn it again. The money is earned by you. You can earn it again. If you can earn it once, you can earn it again. As long as you work hard to earn, you will definitely be able to make it back."
Chen Xingling chuckled and said, "That's right. Anyway, I still have money with me, so there's no need to worry about whether I'll make a loss or not."
Gu Qi lowered his voice and said, "There's me too. I can make money too, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."
In fact, with his current salary plus special allowances, he can still support a large family.
It's just that Chen Xingling is not very frugal in normal times. He buys clothes for his family every quarter. The food and drink at home are very good. There are vegetables and meat for almost every meal, and he always buys one or two roast ducks and roast chickens.
If he was the only one earning money, he might have to be a little more frugal and not spend money like this.
In fact, most families have to live frugally, and there are not many people who are as "generous" as Xing'er to buy meat and clothes.
Despite this, he never said a word against her. After all, she earned her own money and she could spend it however she wanted.
All the expenses of the family had to be earned by him, a grown man. Her help had already lightened his burden.
It's not easy for her to earn money to support her family even though she's still in school.
Chen Xingling said coquettishly, "Okay then, I'll rely on you to support me from now on."
"Yeah." Gu Qi nodded.
Chen Xingling smiled sweetly and shook her head: "I make money not so that you can stop supporting me, but because I want to make my life more fulfilling, so that I can spend what I want and buy what I like. I want to give myself enough sense of security and provide better living conditions for my family. Of course, I also don't want you to bear too much and be under too much pressure."
"I know." Gu Qi stroked her hair gently, his voice gentle: "So I have always supported you."
Chen Xingling chuckled and snuggled into his arms.
Gu Qi was slightly embarrassed and whispered, "Yes."
Forehead?
Chen Xingling quickly pushed him away and chuckled.
"I was so busy talking that I forgot about it."
The girl on duty was still reading and didn't notice anything. However, she could hear the two of them talking and laughing from time to time, which made her secretly envious.
After she and her lover had been married for a few years, they gradually became less interested in chatting. Half of the reason was that she was too lazy to chat, and the other half was that she didn't know what to talk about.
Gu Qi and his wife seemed to have been married for about the same time as them, and I wonder if they usually have so much to talk about at home. Since they came in, it seems that they have never stopped talking.
After a while, the phone rang!
Chen Xingling quickly picked up the phone and happily started chatting with his fourth brother.
At this time, the person on duty wrote down the specific time and recorded it, and asked Gu Qiqian to sign it.
Gu Qi nodded and did as he was told.
He had good eyesight and noticed at once that among the names in front of him, there were several "Li Dabing" and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
As far as he knew, Li Dabing was a staff member in the logistics department who was responsible for canteen purchasing. Why did he need to come here to make a phone call?
There is a landline in the logistics department, and there is someone on duty there fourteen hours a day, so there is no need to come here to use the phone.
However, Gu Qi was not a good person, nor would he casually be curious about other people's affairs. He just signed his name as the woman requested.
Chen Xingling didn't talk for long and hung up after three or four minutes.
Overseas calls are very expensive, and my fourth brother has developed a good habit of making quick decisions on the phone. He would speak briefly and ask if everyone at home was safe and well, and then hang up after getting the answer.
Chen Xingling did not tell him about the illness of his fourth sister-in-law a while ago, but only asked him if he had any words to convey to her.
The fourth brother only said that the fourth sister-in-law asked him to help with some chores, and he had completed them all. In addition, the fourth sister-in-law's brothers and sisters brought her a lot of gifts, and I'm sure she will be very happy after receiving them.
After Chen Xingling hung up, he thanked the girl, then left holding Gu Qi's hand.
The girl looked at their very natural hand-holding movements and the happy smiles on their faces, and she couldn't help but feel envious again.
She and her husband are busy with their own things every day. When she gets home, she either works or takes care of the children. Her work is so dull and almost boring that she doesn't even like to talk to him, let alone hold hands sweetly.
I have to say... Gu Qi and his wife have a really good relationship.
When Gu Qi saw his wife smiling happily, he guessed that it was good news.
"Don't worry about it anymore, right? Can the embroidery factory be opened?"
"Open!" Chen Xingling laughed, "Let's find a good day to start work right away! Fourth brother said that as soon as the products were brought to Chinatown, many Chinese rushed to buy them. They were all sold out in less than two days. Many people still couldn't buy them and kept asking where they could be bought. Fourth sister-in-law and elder sister said that we should send as many of these beautiful handmade artworks as we can. She can guarantee that within a few years, the orders will be full!"
“That’s great!”
"Add some more food tonight! Let's celebrate! By the way, I have to go back quickly tomorrow to tell my fourth sister-in-law the good news!
"Okay, okay, watch your step."
"Hahaha……"
