When they arrived at the post office, Gou Lijuan personally helped her dial the phone, watched her get through, and then told her family the news word by word. She heard with her own ears that Xu Hongxia's team would let Gu Meili join the art troupe and be the lead singer.
Finally, I clearly heard the voice of agreement coming from the phone.
Gou Lijuan was so excited that her heart was about to jump out, and she was in a state of euphoria.
Xu Hongxia hung up the phone, and the post office staff said to the outside: "The phone bill is 2.2 yuan."
Gou Lijuan rushed to take out the money from her pocket and handed it over, "Comrade, here you go."
Xu Hongxia looked at her with satisfaction, and walked out with her head held high. Her stomach growled, so she touched her flat belly and said proudly:
"I'm starving. I'm going to the state-owned restaurant in front to have lunch."
"Okay, okay, Lijuan, you go first. Auntie will call Meili to let her know she's safe."
Gou Lijuan was digging out the phone number in her wallet. When she found it, she looked up and saw Xu Hongxia still standing there, touching her belly and staring at the wallet in her hand with a half-smile in her eyes. She didn't say anything, and her face was smiling but not smiling.
Well, this is to ask her to pay for the meal.
Gou Lijuan resisted the urge to curse, and took out two national food coupons worth one kilogram from her wallet, and then took out two yuan to hand it over, pretending to be happy and forcing a smile:
"Hongxia, Auntie is treating you to a meal. You have helped Auntie so much, and Auntie must thank you very much. Go to the state-owned restaurant and order the food first. Auntie will call Meili and come to find you."
"Oh, Auntie, you are so polite. Okay, I will go to the state-owned restaurant and order some food for you. You go ahead and do your work."
Xu Hongxia's face immediately broke into a smile, and she took the money and ran towards the state-owned restaurant without stopping for a second.
After Gou Lijuan and others walked away, her face suddenly fell and she spat on the ground.
"Bah, you really think you're some rich girl. How dare you do that."
He made a phone call while cursing.
As soon as the phone was connected and I heard the voice on the other end, I immediately started laughing again.
"Hey, girl, it's me, mom, we've arrived. Xu Hongxia just called her mom and she agreed."
Gu Meili's excited voice came from the phone:
"Mom, I just received a call. Xu Hongxia's mother asked me to report this afternoon. Thank you, mom. Haha, I will be the lead singer of the art troupe in the future. Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go and get myself ready."
"Okay, okay, that's good. They are trustworthy. Let's go. Mom has to go eat too."
Gou Lijuan finally felt relieved and hung up the phone contentedly.
"I still have some conscience. The money was not wasted."
She paid the phone bill and happily walked towards the state-owned restaurant in front. Seeing Xu Hongxia sitting with her back to her in the hotel lobby, she rubbed her hands and sat down to prepare to eat.
When she sat down and looked at the table, she saw that the plates on the table were empty. There was no food left for her. Everyone had eaten it all up. Oh no, Xu Hongxia was still holding the last steamed bun in her hand and chewing it.
"Auntie is here. I just finished eating. You should go to the window over there to get your food. If you don't go now, there will be no food. The staff over there just said that they will close the window in a while."
Xu Hongxia burped and looked at her watch to see the time.
"There are only two minutes left before the window staff will close the window. Auntie, go and take a seat."
Her tone was urgent and her face was full of genuine worry.
Gou Lijuan continued to endure, swallowed her anger, stood up with a smile, and said, "Okay, Auntie will go and beat him right away."
When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared and he cursed in his heart with his mouth moving.
What an uneducated person! No wonder Gu Xingzhou looks down on this man. If she were Gu Xingzhou, she would also look down on him.
Fortunately, it’s not my own son who is getting married.
Hold on, these two days will be over. This is not only for beauty, but also for a good future for your son who stays with your ex-husband.
Xu Hongxia has a pair of good parents. Her son works in the steel plant managed by Xu Hongxia's father. These days are the critical period for promotion evaluation. Whether he can become the director of the purchasing department depends on these few days.
You have to endure it, even if it means you become like a turtle.
After preparing the meal, Gou Lijuan put on a smiling face again and sat down to eat. After eating, she had to help the young lady Xu Hongxia to move the luggage without complaint, and then she affectionately took Xu Hongxia to report to the commune.
"Okay, everyone is here. The four of you are all educated youth from the Haha Brigade. Wait over there. Your team leader is on the way."
Xu Hongxia was quietly getting angry at the side, "What? He hasn't come yet. Really, how long will it take before I can see Brother Gu? I'm so annoyed!"
The commune staff glanced at Xu Hongxia, walked straight into the office, went to the phone and started making a call.
"Hello, is this Zhao Xiangdong? The educated youth from your team has arrived early. Please pack up and come over to pick them up. By the way, please tell the director that they are here."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Zhao Xiangdong hung up the phone, closed the door and walked towards the Youth League Home.
It's still lively here, many people haven't left yet, three or five people are sitting in a group in the yard, drinking tea and chatting, playing chess, or playing mahjong for fun.
Yang Mumu was leaning in a chair drinking scented tea. When she saw the captain coming, she brought a bench over.
"Captain, sit down."
Gu Xingzhou handed over a cup of tea, "Have some tea."
"No need to sit down. The new educated youth have arrived." Zhao Xiangdong just took the tea and took a sip. He turned to look at Shen Xingci who was playing mahjong over there. "Director, I came to tell you that the new educated youth are waiting at the commune. I have to go pick them up. Secretary Wang over there asked me to bring you a message."
"arrive?"
Shen Xingci handed the cards in his hand to He Yuan who was sitting next to him and walked over.
"Okay, then you go pick them up and let them walk. It's the busy farming season now and no one is free. Let them fend for themselves. In the past, they all walked to the team. Look how hard they can endure now. This is the effect of training."
Zhao Xiangdong deeply understood and agreed that tractors were so precious and should be taken good care of. He had originally planned to let the new educated youth go, but now his idea coincided with the director's, which made him very happy.
"Director, you are right. We need to exercise more. If we can't even stand this little road, then we can forget about going to the countryside to support rural construction. OK, I'll go pick him up now."
"Captain, wait."
Yang Mumu called the captain and gave Gu Xingzhou a look. Gu Xingzhou went to push the bicycle parked at the edge of the yard in front of the captain.
"Captain, just ride your bike. Don't tire yourself out. Remember to have dinner at 5:30 p.m. We'll play cards after dinner."
Yang Mumu handed the key to the bicycle lock to the captain, and Gu Xingzhou also put a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda in the bicycle bag.
This was also obtained from the money I had stolen from Lu Qianyao before. There are still several boxes of soda in the house, and I will leave soon to clear out the stock.
"Captain, I'm thirsty on the way."
"Uncle, remember to come and eat!"
"Okay, I'll remember it. Thank you Mu Mu and Xing Zhou. Uncle will leave first." The captain rode away on his bicycle with a smile on his face.
Zhao Xiangdong thought happily in his heart: This is great, I can keep an eye on those newly arrived educated youth. When they are tired and thirsty, I will definitely bring out soda, and then ride my bike leisurely and watch them walk around exhausted and having to carry their own things.
Shen Xingci looked at the receding figure, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he chuckled, and then retracted his gaze.
He walked briskly to Gu Xingzhou and Yang Mumu with a playful smile on his face.
"People are coming, are you ready?"
"Just waiting for people to come." Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou said at the same time. They looked at each other with meaningful smiles on their faces.
