Zhao Xiaoxing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! If sister-in-law says it's good, then it must be the best. We will listen to sister-in-law."
"We'll try to apply for one then." Gu Qi agreed, "Half-sell and half-pay, it should be enough to add one more unit. Ayi is married and has a family, and is a formal employee. When the time comes, ask Brother Liu for help, and he will probably be able to apply for it."
After the initial construction is completed, the older generation of employees should be able to take care of it. Lao Guo said that the fourth set is for young workers to settle down. To put it simply, if the length of service is not enough, the money will be used to make up for it.
As long as he is willing to take the initiative to pay, there should be no problem. When the time comes, he will quietly ask Brother Liu for help, and Brother Liu will give him this favor.
Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of anticipation and joy.
Little Tiger asked in surprise: "Mom, can you and Uncle Ma build a building?"
"Yes." Chen Xingling replied with a smile: "Next, mom will be busy again! You must follow dad and aunt and study hard, don't run around!"
"Okay!" Little Tiger patted his mother's shoulder with his chubby little hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely get into college and then help you with your homework!"
Everyone laughed.
Li Ying felt warm at heart as she looked at the happy family.
"Hu Zi's mother, if you want to be busy, just go ahead and do it... I'll help you look after the house. That - I'll help you make breakfast and dinner, clean the house and so on. I can't help you with the work outside... I'll try my best to help with the housework. I can't always drag you down with my old bones..."
"Mom, don't say that." Gu Qi interrupted her and said calmly, "We are busy with work outside, especially Xing'er. She goes out early and comes back late every day, and most of the time she can't take care of the family. Please help as much as you can at home. As a family, don't talk about whether you are a burden or not."
Chen Xingling nodded in agreement: "Yes, don't say that."
Li Ying asked with concern: "You have to go to class and go to the embroidery factory - can you still be a contractor? Will you be too busy?"
"Yes." Chen Xingling said truthfully: "The embroidery factory has stabilized. It is not very troublesome at ordinary times. The embroiderers are very conscious and work very seriously. When my fourth brother comes back, he and my fourth sister-in-law will be enough to look after the embroidery factory. Four buildings are a big project, and we have to make a lot of money from it."
Everyone laughed again.
Little Tiger asked happily: "Mom, when you make a lot of money, what do you want to do most?"
Chen Xingling answered without thinking, "Improve our family's living standards, so that we can eat better and live better. Try to buy a car for transportation, and a phone... and so on."
"Wow!" Little Tiger chuckled: "It feels good just thinking about it!"
His intoxicated, innocent and cute look made everyone laugh.
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled and said, "My sister-in-law makes big money, and I follow her to make small money. I also want to improve our living standards."
Gu Yi at the side reminded him jokingly: "Hu Zi is already over four years old, and he doesn't need to worry about his sister-in-law at all. But it's different for you, you still have to give birth to a baby and take care of it!"
Zhao Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her mother was now pregnant, and she might not be able to work behind her father Chen Xingling as she did before.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel secretly disappointed.
Li Ying smiled as she ate dumplings and turned to Zhao Xiaoxing: "I will help take care of the baby after you give birth. You can all go and focus on your careers, and I will take care of the house and the baby... Don't look down on me if I don't do a good job."
Zhao Xiaoxing was flattered and stared, then smiled embarrassedly.
"Thank you, Mom. I don't--I definitely don't mind. I'm so happy! Thank you, Mom!"
Gu Yi and his elder brother looked at each other, both secretly in disbelief and surprise.
During this period, my mother began to change her personality and became more enthusiastic towards her two daughters-in-law. Not only that, she also began to actively help with housework. For example, the dumplings they mentioned were all rolled by her.
I never thought that she would even take care of such trivial tasks as taking care of her grandson!
Unbelievable, even unbelievable!
Li Ying was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I didn't help take care of Hu Zi before... Later I regretted it. If the elderly can help take care of the children and do housework, you can let go and pursue your career. I don't know how to make money. I always thought that the daughter-in-law had to be supported by the son. Now I don't think so. This family has become too fast and too good since Hu Zi's mother made money... So, you young people have to work hard and make money, so that the family will have a better future. I will help you take care of the children. No matter how many children you have in the future, I will help take care of them. You can have as many as you want."
After hearing this, everyone smiled and nodded.
"Okay, thanks, Mom."
"Then I'd like to thank my mother first!"
Li Ying smiled cheerfully and urged her eldest daughter to eat more.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Chen Xingling felt a lot more relieved.
That night, she nervously told Gu Qi that if the old lady truly repented, he should not send her back to her hometown.
"We are worried about her living alone in the old house thousands of miles away. If something happens, the neighbors who don't know will scold you two brothers. If she really regrets her mistakes, let her stay in Yucheng."
Although she didn't like her mother-in-law, she knew she wouldn't treat the old lady harshly, and she didn't want Gu Qi to be caught in the middle. She took the initiative to give Gu Qi a way out so that he wouldn't have to keep his promise and fail to do his job.
Gu Qi smiled softly and whispered gratefully: "She. If she really regrets it, let her stay. I will tell her that you said it and I just listened to you. If she still goes to gamble and play mahjong, I will still send her back to her hometown in Shangjing City, just like last time."
"good."
…
The next morning, Chen Xingling went to the embroidery factory to find Ma Dali.
Ma Dali had no classes in the morning, so he was cleaning the kitchen and boiling water.
The embroiderers kept sewing and chattering. When they saw Chen Xingling coming over, they immediately greeted him warmly.
Ma Dali poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Lingling, my third brother came earlier and brought a bag of scallops. He said your fourth sister-in-law wouldn't come today, so he asked me to tell you."
"Okay." Chen Xingling responded.
There is not much work at the embroidery factory on weekdays. Fourth sister-in-law would not come if she felt it was not busy. It might also be because she missed her husband too much. From time to time, she would take a day or two off to go fishing or take a boat out to sea.
There are two master craftsmen in charge of collecting the finished products. Apart from boiling hot water, there is no other work to do today, so you don't have to come if you don't want to.
Chen Xingling told Ma Dali the good news, and then they both went out excitedly.
They went to find Master Mo, then took paper, pen and ruler and went straight to the shipyard office to find Director Guo.
Lao Guo entertained them warmly and called Liu Xinnian to go to the riverside to measure the land and took out the first draft of the design for their reference.
The three of them worked in the factory until the evening before leaving for home.
In the next two days, the three of them went around the factory to measure things, and also went to the first phase of Linjiang to look at the house types for reference and comparison.
It wasn't until the weekend that Chen Xingling was finally able to take a break.
