Chapter 59: The Eleventh Holiday is over
Guo Degui and Shi Xiucui had breakfast and got on the bus to the county. They had to go to the county and take a train to return to the provincial capital. Back in the provincial capital, he and Shi Xiucui went directly to the rental house with a bathtub.
"Xiao Guo, why do you say that damn mosquito always bites me and not you."
"Needless to say, you're more humane than me." Guo Degui laughed.
"I thought it would be better after taking a shower, but it got more and more itchy." The place on Shi Xiucui's body that had been bitten by mosquitoes was a little swollen.
"You probably have allergies, I'll go downstairs and buy you some medicine." Guo Degui said with concern.
"You're so good to me!" Shi Xiucui seems to be fully committed to the relationship in front of her. After that, he stepped forward and kissed Guo Degui.
"Alright, alright. You wait at home, I'll be back in a moment, and I'll buy some vegetables for the family. Guo Degui said and left.
Walking out the door, Guo Degui found a public phone booth. There, he dialed the phone number that Guo Deguang had left for him.
"Brother, I'm Degui." Seeing that someone over there answered the phone, Guo Degui couldn't wait to take the lead.
"Oh, you're calling the wrong person, you're looking for Guo Deguang Guo Zong, he went to the Soviet Union, and he wasn't there. Brother, what's the matter, I'm your brother's deputy and the deputy general manager of our Datong Group, my name is Li Jianmin. Li Jianmin heard the caller claiming to be Degui, and he had heard Guo Deguang say that there was such a cousin.
"Ao, Mr. Li, I'm fine, just make a phone call, is it a holiday, greetings. That's a happy holiday for you, too. Guo Degui didn't want to continue with Li Jianmin, so he planned to end the call quickly.
Li Jianmin is also a little strange, this is the eleventh day, and he still says happy holidays. But thinking about it the other way, it may be that people have something inconvenient to say to you, people are looking for their Deguang brother to have something, not looking for themselves, it seems that they are self-inflicted.
In fact, the purpose of Guo Degui's call is to see where Guo Deguang is, whether he will come to the provincial capital, you must know that Tasha of the Graduate School on National Day is also on holiday, if Guo Deguang really came to meet Tasha, maybe he will collide with him and Shi Xiucui. Another reason is that he wants to tell Guo Deguang that he has finished the things entrusted to him, and he has seen Uncle Guo for him, which can be regarded as doing his filial piety for you Guo Deguang.
When all this was over, he went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of toilet water, bought some mosquito repellent ointment, and then went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, and when he came back, it was almost noon.
"If you're hungry, let's eat some fruit first. The fruit I bought for you and the ointment you used to treat the mosquito bites, you can take some medicine yourself. Guo Degui entered the house and saw Shi Xiucui watching TV alone.
"I'm not hungry, I'm at home alone, I always miss you, and I'm always afraid that you won't come back." Shi Xiucui spoke with a little crying.
"What are you thinking, I'll wash the apples for you, and you can go inside and take medicine yourself." Guo Degui said and handed the ointment to Shi Xiucui, and went to the kitchen with the apple.
"Xiao Guo'er, are you okay, come and help." Shi Xiucui shouted from the bedroom.
"Okay, okay, I'm here." Guo Degui walked into the bedroom with a fruit bowl of apples, and he saw Shi Xiucui trying to reach the mosquito bite on her back.
"I'll paint it on you, you can't reach it here." When Guo Degui said it, the corners of his mouth were still a little complacent.
"Xiao Guo'er, I don't like that wood, and I don't like the houses in the countryside, so I like to be here with you." Shi Xiucui said very emotionally, and Guo Degui's hand was not restless.
……………………
Speaking of Guo Degui, I have to talk about Guo Deguang. Guo Deguang went to the Soviet Union at the end of September, and some of the people he recruited also arrived one after another.
The main purpose of their visit to the Soviet Union was to renovate some dilapidated churches scattered throughout the Soviet Union. Guo Deguang didn't know anything about churches and Orthodox Christianity, and he didn't want to or want to know about those things, and the purpose of his visit to the Soviet Union was to make money. Fortunately, with Qin Xiangyun's help, their communication and contact with the outside world are quite smooth.
He knows that there are many so-called engineering teams like them, and foreigners are not stupid, mainly depending on the quality of your project. The first business he took over was in a relatively remote mountainous area, where a number of farmers and estates were scattered around, and it looked very peaceful.
They first took a train to a small town, and when the personnel were in order, the Soviets picked them up and put them on a bus. After Qin Xiangyun asked the Soviet elder brother who was traveling with him, he pointed to a building in front of him and said that it was where we were going.
From afar, Guo Deguang saw the building surrounded by mountains. When they got out of the car, he couldn't wait to look at the complex.
In that empty valley, in Guo Deguang's eyes, those onion-headed buildings are like sky-blue domes bulging high, high and low, beautiful and paralyzed. Underneath those onion heads, high walls are usually decorated with mainly white components. The whole building is full of mystery and exotic atmosphere, which always forces passers-by to cast envious glances. Guo Deguang couldn't help but look up, but at the moment he was thinking of Tasha, and he wondered if Tasha's beauty would have something to do with the beautiful scenery of her hometown.
Walking closer, Guo Deguang could see that this church was really a little dilapidated, maybe because no one had been here for a long time, the wooden structure inside was a little rotten and old, only the brick structure outside was still strongly supporting this beautiful building.
Qin Xiangyun asked the person who led them here who was said to be a priest, and he said that this place had just been painted, but the interior decoration depended on Guo Deguang and them.
Guo Deguang asked the pastor for the drawings of the internal facilities, and the pastor was very embarrassed, saying that the church had been completed for a long time, and the drawings were difficult to find, but he could report this matter to his superiors.
Soon after, the priest brought a large pile of copy paper, some copies of drawings of parts, and some copies of pictures. I could see that the priest was a little impatient. After Qin Xiangyun's translation, Guo Deguang knew that this pastor was disgusted that Chinese things were too cumbersome. Guo Deguang took out a jade pixiu and said that this is a statue of a son of a Chinese dragon, which can attract wealth and treasure. Qin Xiangyun translated it to the priest, and the priest looked at it and carefully asked if it was a cultural relic, and Guo Deguang told him that it wasn't yet, but maybe it would be in a few years. The pastor happily accepted it, and said that when he asked the bishop for the relevant information, the bishop said that he would come and see the work here. Before leaving, he specially told Qin Xiangyun that they should pretend not to know about the bishop's coming, otherwise he would be punished for leaking the secret.
"Oh, I said Xiao Guozi, you have brought all the domestic gifts to our big brother?" Qin Xiangyun began to make fun of Guo Deguang.
"Aren't we keeping pace with the times, you see how happy he is, if I knew that he was so shallow-eyed, I wouldn't have to let Li Jianmin prepare such a good jade in the future, this Pixiu old Li asked me to be fifty, and it would be enough for him to get me more twenty in the future." Guo Deguang said that it was very enjoyable.
"You can be careful, the most taboo thing for foreigners is that you lie to him, if he finds out that you lied to him once, he will never do business with you again in his life." Qin Xiangyun said very seriously.
"Is it the same for foreign women, if they find out that their husbands have someone outside, will they turn against their husbands?" Guo Deguang was thoughtful.
"You can't ask me about this, you go home and ask Tasha, and see what she has to say to you." Qin Xiangyun immediately shook off the pot.
………………
Uncle Quan Bao and I watched them all leave, and we continued to eat and drink.
"I said Dunzi, you said that the one named Li Hongyan is not a small boss, what are you running around with all day long! There's no one in her house to take care of! "Uncle Quan Bao saw that it was just the two of us, and he didn't have so many scruples and considerations when he spoke.
"He lives alone now, maybe last year, something happened to her boyfriend, and she has some problems here." I pointed to my head as I spoke.
"So that's the case, then she shouldn't get sick, if you really cause something, you can't eat melons with her! Besides, she is a young woman, isn't she afraid to live alone? "Uncle Quan Bao still doesn't feel at ease with me.
"She has kung fu in her, and I don't think ordinary people can get close to her." I also want to appease Uncle Quan Bao first, so that he won't have to worry about me again.
We chatted for a while, no matter how I asked, Uncle Quan Bao just didn't say anything about my mother, which made me very helpless.
In the afternoon, my mother came back, and she came back with Li Hongyan.
"Sister Hongyan, why are you back again!" I asked directly.
"What's wrong with coming back, she went with me to sell vegetables today. We are all surnamed Li, aren't we all family? "I think the person who can make my mother praise must be the person who is willing to work hard for her.
"I have nothing to do at home, so when I arrived, I went to Aunt Li to watch her sell vegetables, and I didn't do anything for her." When Li Hongyan heard my mother say this, her face turned a little red and she was embarrassed.
"Everyone hasn't eaten yet, I have boiled bud rice, pork ribs and stewed beans, but it's delicious." Uncle Quan Bao didn't slam the door so much this time, because these were the 500 yuan that Guo Deguang gave him to entertain Guo Degui, and Uncle Quan Bao didn't say anything about being a person, if he didn't spend all the 500 yuan, he wouldn't feel good in his heart.
After eating, the time for the tricycle to pick up the food is almost up, and today my mother said that there are not many dishes to be delivered back. Because people have bought a lot of vegetables in the past two days of the festival, and if they take the vegetables back at this time, they will become rotten if they can't be sold.
The tricycle is much more bumpy than a passenger car, and it is tiring to think about my mother riding this tricycle back and forth between the city and the countryside all day long.
My mother deliberately sat between me and Li Hongyan, so that we couldn't speak, and it wasn't until we got home and moved all the dishes into the house that Li Hongyan had the opportunity to talk with me alone.
"Dunzi, you said you wanted to help me, but you have to take it seriously!" Li Hongyan said with a serious face.
"What's the matter, I really can't remember what you told me." I was deliberately teasing her.
"You, you dare to lie to me, you see that I don't ,,,," Li Hongyan said, and really raised his hand.
