Chapter 72: Coming Home Late at Night

Chen Bingxing's chin raised slightly: "What's the hurry?" Work is a lifelong thing, and you will have to be busy in the future! ”

"That's right!" Chen Xingling comforted gently: "Your brother should be able to come back in the near future." If a job is to be truly implemented, it is possible to do it in a short period of time. You don't have to rush. ”

Gu Yi finally lost his embarrassment, and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, then let's go up and clean up first." After lunch, let's go! ”

"Okay." Chen Xingling proposed: "Wait until I cook a few good dishes-"

"There's no trouble." Chen Bingxing turned around and took out a cloth bag from the rectangular stool of the tractor and explained: "This is the rice cake that my mother steamed for you early in the morning, so that we can eat it as lunch at noon, so that my little sister will not be able to make lunch." Mom said, you study so hard, if you can do less, you can do less. ”

Gu Yi's eyes lit up, and he whispered with envy: "The rice cakes made by my aunt are delicious......

Chen Xingling once again experienced the happiness of "having a mother and a child is like a treasure", hugged the rice cake and squinted his eyes.

……

In the middle of the night, a large ship slowly turned into the mouth of the river, and let out a long boat whistle!

The dock of the shipyard was already brightly lit, and the shore was full of workers in dark blue overalls, looking at the black and linen giant ship approaching little by little, with a vague nervousness on their faces.

"It's coming! Wait until my neck is sore! ”

"After tossing and turning at sea for more than half a month, I finally arrived safely - it's not easy!"

"Our dockyard department is working overtime tonight - just for it!"

On the ground, a shout came from the rear: "The factory director is here!" The factory director is here! ”

Soon, a small path was automatically lined up among the workers, and Director Guo and several leaders hurriedly walked over, looking nervous as the "Voyage" slowly drove away, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"I lost contact for two days in the middle! But we're worried! ”

"There is no danger! There is no danger! ”

"More than 100 people are safe and sound! This is the great luck in misfortune! ”

After a while, the tired captain and co-captain were hugged and walked down.

The crowd hurried forward.

Tearful handshakes, excited words of thanks, the happiness of the rest of the life, and all kinds of relief, intertwined in bursts of cheers.

Gu Qi's face was slightly pale, and his tall and handsome figure stood out in the crowd, which was eye-catching.

As soon as Director Guo caught a glimpse of him, he immediately squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward.

"Archie! Archie! ”

Gu Qi's eyebrows and eyes were tired, and he smiled slightly: "Director Guo, hello." ”

Director Guo looked at him with concern and hugged his shoulders affectionately.

"Archie, are you alright? Great work! ”

Gu Qi shook his head indifferently and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life and returned safely." ”

Tears flashed in Director Guo's eyes, and he choked: "In the two days when I lost contact...... But it makes me sad! Luckily it's okay – it's okay! Later, I finally got in touch and I was able to eat and sleep. Later, your lover came to the office to inquire about you, and I didn't dare to say it at all, so as to save her from worrying too much. ”

Gu Qi's bloodshot eyes lit up, and he asked, "Xing'er, she's here?" ”

"Here we are." Director Guo explained: "Let the personnel department give her the spare key to your house, so that she and the child can settle down first." ”

Gu Qi secretly swallowed his saliva, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the tall buildings in the west in the distance.

Director Guo saw it really and smiled lovingly.

"Let's go back and get some sleep tonight. I'll talk about the big things tomorrow, and I'm not in a hurry. ”

Then, he summoned the driver behind him and asked him to send Gu Qi back to the first floor of Linjiang immediately.

The driver hurriedly took Gu Qi's suitcase and smiled flatteringly.

"Engineer Gu, I'll send you back."

Gu Qi nodded, said to the captain, and then hurriedly followed the driver away.

Unexpectedly, his wife really took Xiaohuzi to the south by train!

I don't know if my father-in-law and mother-in-law and several uncles went to the train station to pick her up? Did you receive it smoothly?

How many days have you been here? Have you settled down? Are you used to eating and living?

It wasn't until he twisted his suitcase and walked upstairs quickly that he found that the door was gloomy, as if it was still the cold and deserted appearance before he left, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that Xing'er should have taken her son to live at her parents' house.

Anyway, before the end of the year, he didn't care about packing up the new house, and hurried north to pick her and the child after finishing his work.

Several rooms are empty, the kitchen is a small kerosene stove, food and accommodation are not ready, it is very inconvenient to live here, she and the child first go to her mother's house to settle down is the best policy.

I reached for the key in my pocket and unscrewed the door.

Then, he pulled the lamp rope from the side.

The next moment, he froze.

I saw that the living room had a new look, with a few glasses neatly placed on the coffee table, plus a small hot water bottle, and a beautiful dining table in the corner.

At the entrance is a small wooden shoe cabinet with several pairs of slippers on top of it, plus a pair of beautiful cloth shoes for children.

The kitchen on the other side is not as empty as before, with all kinds of tableware, dishes and chopsticks neatly arranged, and there seems to be a faint smell of food.

Gu Qi was a little incredulous, took out the key and looked at it, then turned his head to look at the dim wooden door of his neighbor opposite, and then walked into the living room - but quickly retreated, replacing his dirty shoes full of engine oil.

He dropped his suitcase and looked around suspiciously, turning on the light, and found that there was a small bed in the smallest room, and an extra bed and two wicker chairs in the other room, all of which were brand new.

He walked to the master bedroom and found that his room had changed a lot!

There are more snow-white curtains on the windows, and there is an extra curtain next to the bed, and I don't know where my wife bought the curtains, the pattern is simple and elegant, and the light blue tones make the room more warm and elegant.

Suddenly, a white note on the desk caught his attention!

Juanxiu's small block handwriting is obviously a practiced font, which looks quite good.

- Archie, I don't know if you'll be back in the next two days. Today is Saturday, the third brother came into the city to pick us up and take us to the fishing village, and will be back by tomorrow evening. If you come back today, you will have hot water on the table and in the kitchen kettle. There are rice cakes in the kitchen and rice porridge in the thermos. If you come back on Sunday, then rest well and wait for us to come home in the evening.

Gu Qi smiled unconsciously slightly, and his eyes fell on the signature.

Miss your wife, Xingling.

Gu Qi's eyes couldn't be taken off anymore, his thumb rubbed the words in the signature, his mind was full of his wife's face, and his heart was warm.

After a while, he opened the drawer, took out his thick notebook, and tucked the note inside, carefully smoothing and straightening it, before closing the notebook and slowly closing the drawer.

He took off his coat and hung it on a beautiful wooden hanger.

Then he went back to the living room and poured half a glass of waterβ€”and found it still hot.

He drank the water and turned to go to the kitchen.

The porridge in the thermos flask is still warm, soft and sweet. He was already hungry, holding rice cakes in one hand and rice porridge in the other, and quickly feasted.

When he was full, he poured out all the hot water from the four brand-new thermos in the kitchen and took a comfortable hot bath.

Then, he changed into comfortable and dry clothes in the closet, wiped his short hair, and looked at the new home that had everything he needed, clean and tidy, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

This is the new home with my wife by my side.

- That's great!
