Chen Bingxing raised his chin slightly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Work is a lifelong thing, and you will be busy in the future!"
"Yes!" Chen Xingling comforted him in a gentle voice: "Your brother should be back soon. It's impossible to get a job done in a short time. You don't have to rush."
Gu Yi finally stopped feeling embarrassed and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, let's go upstairs and pack up first. After lunch, we'll set off!"
"Okay." Chen Xingling suggested: "Wait for me to cook some delicious dishes——"
"It's not worth the trouble." Chen Bingxing turned around and took out a cloth bag from the rectangular seat of the tractor, explaining: "This is the rice cake that Mom steamed for you early in the morning. We can eat it for lunch at noon, so that my little sister doesn't have to make lunch. Mom said that you study so hard, so if I can let you work less, I'll do it."
Gu Yi's eyes sparkled, and he whispered enviously: "The rice cakes made by my aunt are so delicious..."
Chen Xingling once again experienced the happiness of "a child with a mother is like a treasure" and hugged Mi Gao with a smile.
…
Late at night, a large ship slowly turned into the river mouth, emitting a long ship whistle sound!
The shipyard's dock was alight in the morning, and the shore was filled with workers in dark blue work clothes. They raised their heads and watched the huge black ship approaching little by little, their faces showing a hint of nervousness.
"Finally you're here! My neck is sore from waiting!"
"After more than half a month of tossing and turning at sea, we finally arrived safely - it was not easy!"
"Everyone in our dock department is on duty all night long - just for this!"
Suddenly, a shout came from behind: "The factory director is coming! The factory director is coming!"
Soon, a path was automatically formed among the workers. Director Guo and several leaders hurried over, watching the "Exploration" slowly approaching with nervous expressions, and smiles appeared on their faces one after another.
"We lost contact for two days! We were so worried!"
"It was a close call! It was a close call!"
"More than a hundred people were finally safe and sound! This is a blessing in disguise!"
After a while, the exhausted captain and deputy captain were escorted down.
Everyone rushed forward.
Tearful handshakes, excited words of gratitude, relief at having survived the disaster, and all kinds of relief, all mixed together amid waves of cheers.
Gu Qi's face was slightly unhappy, and his tall and handsome figure stood out among the crowd, attracting attention.
As soon as Director Guo caught a glimpse of him, he immediately squeezed through the crowd and came forward.
"Archie! Archie!"
Gu Qi's eyes were filled with fatigue, and he smiled slightly: "Hello, Director Guo."
Director Guo looked him up and down, then put his arm around his shoulders affectionately.
"Aqi, are you okay? Thank you for your hard work!"
Gu Qi shook his head calmly and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and returned safely."
Director Guo's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up: "The two days when we lost contact... I was so worried! Fortunately, everything was fine - fortunately, everything was fine! Later, we finally got in touch, and I was able to eat and sleep. Later, your wife came to the office specifically to inquire about you, but I didn't dare to tell her at all, so as not to make her worry too much."
Gu Qi's bloodshot eyes lit up and he asked, "Xing'er is here?"
"I'm here." Director Guo explained: "Ask the HR department to give her the spare key to your house so that she and her child can settle down first."
Gu Qi swallowed secretly, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards the tall buildings in the distance to the west.
Director Guo saw it very well and smiled lovingly.
"Let's go back and rest first, and have a good sleep tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow, no rush."
Then, he called the driver behind him and asked him to take Gu Qi back to the first floor of Linjiang immediately.
The driver quickly took Gu Qi's suitcase and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Master Gu, I'll take you home."
Gu Qi nodded, said something to the captain and others, then hurriedly followed the driver away.
I never thought that my wife would actually take the little tiger south by train!
I don't know if my father-in-law, mother-in-law and several uncles went to the train station to pick her up? Did they pick her up by the way?
How many days have you been here? Have you settled in? Are you used to the food and accommodation?
It was not until he hurried upstairs with his suitcase that he found the door dark and as deserted as it was before he left that he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It seems that Xing'er should be living with her son at her mother's side.
Well, he didn't have time to prepare the new house before the end of the year, so after finishing work he hurried north to pick her and the child up.
Several rooms were empty, there was only a small kerosene stove in the kitchen, and the food and accommodation supplies were not yet ready. It was very inconvenient to live here, so it would be best for her and her children to stay at her parents' home first.
He took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
Then he pulled the cord of the lamp beside him.
The next moment, he was stunned.
I saw that the living room looked brand new. There were several glasses neatly placed on the coffee table, a small thermos outside, and a nice dining table in the corner.
There is a small wooden shoe cabinet at the entrance, with a few pairs of slippers on top and a pair of beautiful cloth shoes for children outside.
The kitchen on the other side was no longer empty as before. Various tableware and bowls were neatly arranged, and there seemed to be a faint smell of food.
Gu Qi was a little bit incredulous. He took out the key and looked at it, then turned his head to look at the dim wooden door of the neighbor opposite. Only then did he come to his senses and walk into the living room - but he quickly retreated and changed his dirty shoes covered in motor oil.
He dropped the suitcase and looked around in confusion. He turned on the light and found that there was a small bed in the smallest room, and there was an extra bed and two rattan chairs in the other room. The bedding on the beds was brand new.
He walked into the master bedroom and found that his room had changed drastically!
There are snow-white curtains on the windows and a curtain beside the bed. I don’t know where my wife bought the curtain from. The pattern is simple yet elegant, and the light blue tone adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the room.
Suddenly, a red note on the desk caught his attention!
The beautiful small regular script handwriting is obviously a handwriting that has been practiced, and it looks quite nice.
——Aqi, I don't know if you will come back in the next two days. Tomorrow is Sunday. Brother San will come to the city to pick us up and go to the fishing village. He will be back before the evening of tomorrow. If you come back tomorrow, the hot water on the table and in the thermos in the kitchen can be used. There are rice cakes in the kitchen and rice porridge in the thermos. If you come back on Sunday, you can take a good rest first and wait for us to go home in the evening.
Gu Qi smiled unconsciously, his eyes falling on the signature.
Missing your wife - Xingling.
Gu Qi couldn't move his eyes away any longer. His thumb stroked the words at the signature. His mind was filled with his wife's face and his heart was filled with warmth.
After a while, he opened the drawer, took out his thick notebook, put the slip of paper inside, and straightened it carefully before closing the notebook and putting it away, then slowly closed the drawer.
He took off his coat and hung it on a beautiful wooden hanger.
Then he returned to the living room and poured half a glass of water - and found that the water was still hot.
He drank the water and went back to the kitchen.
The porridge in the thermos was still warm, soft, sweet and fragrant. He was hungry in the morning, so he took the rice cake in one hand and the rice porridge in the other and devoured them quickly.
After eating, he poured out all the hot water from four brand new thermos in the kitchen and took a comfortable hot bath.
Afterwards, he changed into comfortable and dry clothes from the closet, and while wiping his short hair, he looked at his new home which had everything he needed, clean and tidy, and looked brand new, and he couldn't help feeling happy.
This is my new home with my wife by my side.
--very nice!
