Chen Xingling laughed and said, "Just because I don't have it now doesn't mean I won't have it in the future! It may not be useful for now, but I may need it every day in the future."
"I hope so." Gu Qi looked at the jeep and explained, "It's much faster to go out with a car. It can protect you from the wind and rain, and you don't have to worry about the scorching sun or the cold wind."
Sometimes the temperature in Chongqing rises suddenly in early spring. For example, the sun is so strong today that it feels like summer has come all of a sudden.
But the sea breeze still makes your body feel cool, so whenever you go to a cool place, you have to put on at least one more coat, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.
He was in a hurry to pick them up, and if he drove faster, they would arrive in ten minutes. Even if they braved the scorching sun, they didn't have to worry about their children enjoying the cool breeze while being scorched by the sun.
"Dad! I want to ride in a car!" Little Tiger shouted excitedly, "I have never ridden in a car before! Mom has ridden in a car, Dad has ridden in a car, but I haven't!"
Chen Xingling smiled and suggested, "How about you drive him around the area and satisfy him a little?"
"Yeah." Gu Qi's eyes fell on her face, and he said softly, "You can come too."
So, the family of three got in the car, drove a long circle around the village, and then went to the beach for a while before slowly driving away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the jeep stopped, a group of nephews and nieces surrounded it with laughter, vying to ask for a ride.
Chen Xingling jumped out of the car and pushed them in one by one with a smile.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone has a share! The older ones should sit down first, and the older ones should hold the younger ones, one by one."
The children were all very excited and shouted to Gu Qi to drive faster.
Gu Qi didn't know which one he should deal with, so he could only smile and nod again and again.
Chen Xingling told the driver: "Come back after two turns. I'll go in and get you a glass of water and some food to eat."
Gu Qida set off again with the children.
The sisters-in-law were still prying oysters. Seeing the children crowded into the car, they hurriedly shouted to them to be careful and not to fall out.
"I didn't expect my brother-in-law could drive! He's really amazing!"
"What a great guy, he seems to be able to do anything!"
"It's a good thing that my sister-in-law loves these little fairies, otherwise they probably won't be able to ride in a four-wheeled vehicle in their lifetime."
The sisters-in-law all thought that their sister-in-law had always been taking care of her parents' home, otherwise when she went to Beijing, Gu Qi would not have brought a lot of gifts during every festival.
This time, my sister-in-law brought gifts here and there, and everything she brought was very special.
She is kind to her brothers and sisters-in-law from her natal family, and loves her nephews and nieces. No wonder her parents-in-law and husband all treat her like a treasure!
Although the sisters-in-law didn't say anything, they all knew it in their hearts and knew what they should do.
After Gu Qi got off the car, he was warmly received by the sisters-in-law. Tea was constantly flowing, and food and drinks were placed in front of Gu Qi like a continuous banquet.
Not only that, they would also bring out any big crabs and prawns they caught at home and ask them to bring them along to eat.
Gu Qi smiled shyly and kept thanking him. As for whether to accept it or not, it was all left to Chen Xingling to decide.
"Brother, my sister-in-law's family is really nice." Gu Yi lowered his voice and said, "As for me, I stayed here for a few days before, and they all treated me like one of their own and were extremely warm and welcoming."
Gu Qi glanced at his brother and whispered, "If your sister-in-law's family wasn't favored, a greeting would have been enough. Have you forgotten the situation at our uncles' families? Huh?"
Forehead!
Gu Yi shuddered and gave two awkward smiles.
Their grandparents’ mother’s home is not too far from the city where they live. It only takes an hour to get there by donkey cart. When their grandparents were still young, they would take them to their grandparents’ home during festivals.
But the old lady is really bad at dealing with people. Not only does she not have any brains, she is also often harsh in her words, likes to take advantage of her mother's family, and likes to instigate quarrels between her grandmother and her aunts.
Because of this, her uncles and aunts hated her and wished she would leave her mother's home forever.
Love the house and hate the house and hate the house and hate the house. The old man's parents were not favored, and even if they visited once a year or two, their uncles, aunts, cousins and cousins never gave them a cold shoulder and ignored them.
One time, my younger sister had a quarrel with a cousin, and the cousin angrily drove them away, shouting that she hated them and would not allow them to come to her house again. Several uncles and aunts pretended not to hear and continued to work with sullen faces.
After their grandparents passed away, they gradually grew up and rarely visited their grandparents' house. When they met their uncle and aunt, they would just say hello at most, and they were not much better than strangers.
After all, it's because their parents don't know how to behave themselves, let alone how to get along with her family, otherwise how could they have fallen to this point!
My sister-in-law is different, she is filial and considerate, very close to my brothers and always chats and laughs with her sisters-in-law.
Whenever my mother's family took something, my sister-in-law would give some back to them. She never took advantage of her mother's family and she truly loved all her nephews and nieces. Just the big bags of gifts she brought back from the capital were enough to show that my sister-in-law was generous and open-minded to her mother's family!
If my sister-in-law didn't know how to gain favor from her parents' family, how could her in-laws and brothers and sisters-in-law treat them so well!
Gu Qi came with an empty car, only bringing a few small boxes of cigarettes for his father-in-law and several uncles. When he returned, the back of the car was filled with all kinds of seafood and food. It could be said that he returned with a full load.
Little Tiger went fishing with his cousins early in the morning and had fun for the whole afternoon. He soon became drowsy in the wobbly car and fell asleep on his mother's lap.
Gu Qi and Gu Yi chatted quietly, explaining: "There will be a commendation meeting in the factory in two days, and the superiors will also be there. Director Guo said that the reward from the superiors may be very generous, and also said that the factory will reward me with three months' salary, in addition to some food coupons, meat coupons and oil coupons. After the commendation meeting, I will start working again."
"Aqi!" Chen Xingling, who was sitting in the back, shouted, "Why don't you take this opportunity to talk to Director Guo about Ayi's work. You don't have to give up the reward, and food coupons and other things don't matter. The most urgent thing is to quickly find a job for Ayi!"
Gu Qi had never discussed this with his brother in detail before. When he heard that he was really determined to return to the city to work, he couldn't help but ask him what his plans were.
"Are you really not going to repeat high school and take the college entrance examination? If you miss it, you may never have another chance in the future."
Gu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, after listening to my sister-in-law's questions, I feel that even if I repeat the year, I have no chance of passing the exam. Forget it, I'd better find a job and work hard."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror.
"In that case, then let's stay at the shipyard and work together. Even though Shangjing is my hometown, it's far away and I may not be able to help you. At the shipyard, I can help more."
"Brother!" Gu Yi asked with shining eyes: "If I work hard, when can the factory give me a house? I - I want to have my own house as soon as possible!"
"A few years." Gu Qi estimated and answered cautiously: "At least five or six years."
When Gu Yi heard this, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he instantly fell down on his seat like a fallen flower.
"Forget it... I'd better go to the capital to find a job."
