Chapter 139: Thank you
"No way!" Chen Xingling shook his head like a rattle: "This gift is too expensive, we can't ask for it." β
It was almost eleven o'clock when Gu Qi and Chen Jixing arrived in the city, so they went to the school to find Chen Xingling first.
After listening to the "gift" that the fourth brother was going to give, she said that it was too expensive to ask.
Chen Jixing glared at her and whispered: "The three elder brothers and the fifth brother are all there, so you are left alone." I'll pay them about the same amount of money to build a house and a tractor as I would buy you land. β
"Fourth brother, I can buy it myself!" Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "This time, if you introduce such a big business to me, I can make a lot of money." One room is one hundred and eighty yuan, and six rooms are a little more than a thousand yuan. I can pay for it myself. β
Chen Jixing snorted coldly: "Keep your money to build a house, and I'll buy you land." Silly girl, you can't sell the places in the city, people's land is handed down from their ancestors, and the people in the family have gone overseas decades ago. This trip back to his hometown, he plans to rebuild the old mansion and sell the rest of the land. My friend inquired for a long time, but finally found it. I even negotiated the price, are you embarrassed to tell me no? Are you embarrassed to make me angry? β
"Hee-hee!" Chen Xingling laughed and excused himself: "Fourth brother, my brothers used to need your help, it was because of lack of money, but I don't lack it." It's not easy for you to make money, you live all over the world all day long, and you still keep the money-"
"Enough left." Chen Jixing interrupted her, quietly looked at Gu Qi, who was discussing ordering with the store, and turned to a low voice: "Silly girl, I know that you and Archie are both rich, but the meaning of me and you is different." The suite is quite spacious, but your brother-in-law lives with a small family, in case your mother-in-law comes to live for a long time, and two sisters-in-law also come, can it still be spacious? β
Chen Xingling understood it at once, and his heart was moved again and again, and his tears flashed slightly.
Chen Jixing whispered: "I paid for the land, and then you quietly used the money you earned to build it, and told your mother-in-law's family that it was given to you by your mother's brother." Whoever buys it with Gu Qi's money, they will live justifiably. But if it's your mother's family who bought it, you can rush it if you want, and you don't have to show mercy to them. Am I not - leave you a way back? β
After a pause, he added, "Of course, we all hope that you don't have to have any back roads, but what if? Right? Gu Qi is very good, but he can't get rid of his old mother for the rest of his life. What his mother is doing to you, you already know in your heart. β
Originally, the Gu family had a big house to live in Shangjing City, and her mother-in-law couldn't afford to come here. But now the two sons have to stay here to work, and there are two daughters over there, and the old man will have to come here sooner or later to join his son.
In case the old man goes too far, my sister can move out by herself, and she can't live without looking at her face.
After hearing this, Chen Xingling sniffed and smiled happily.
"Okay, then I-I won't be polite to the fourth brother!"
Chen Jixing smiled in relief and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Stay close to your mother's house, so we can take care of you. Remember, your mother's family will always be your backing, and there is no need to let yourself be wronged. β
Chen Xingling whispered gratefully: "Thank you, Fourth Brother." By the way, I have a gift for you too. When you go to sea, I'll carry it back to you. β
"Yo? What? Chen Jixing asked with a curious smile: "Do you still need to carry it?" β
Chen Xingling blinked his eyes and smiled mischievously and mysteriously.
"Keep it secret for now, and I'll tell you later. Rest assured, you'll love it! β
Chen Jixing poked her head lightly and scolded with a smile: "It's better to like it, otherwise I will be thrown into the sea from the boat!" β
"Ahhhhh Chen Xingling nodded: "You really have to throw it into the sea to use it." β
Chen Jixing suddenly became very interested, and asked what his sister was.
"Eat, eat, eat." Chen Xingling deliberately hung his appetite: "My stomach is hungry, Mali eats first." β
That afternoon, Chen Xingling asked the teacher for leave and worked with Chen Jixing and Gu Qi to handle the land affairs.
A few of the plots are on Shuiyue Road, very close to the north gate of the shipyard, about an acre or so, and next to them are other residential houses, most of which are two-story or one-story traditional southern buildings.
"It's the road in front of the door, so it's very easy to get in and out." Chen Xingling was very satisfied, and couldn't help but be fascinated to plan: "Building three rooms with two floors is enough to be spacious, the first floor is more than 200 square meters, and the second floor can double the space." The remaining three have a small garden or vegetable garden, and some fences can be added outside, and vines or roses can be planted with ......"
Gu Qi doted on her and whispered, "It's okay." I will work hard to make money, and when I have saved enough money, I will immediately build it according to your arrangement. β
"Hee-hee!" Chen Xingling blinked: "Maybe you don't have to wait too long!" β
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You...... You got it? β
"Know what?" Chen Xinglinghu asked, "Do you know what I'm talking about?" β
Gu Qi asked rhetorically: "Didn't you already know that I would have a special allowance starting next month?" β
Forehead?
Chen Xingling smiled in surprise and took his hand excitedly.
"Special allowances? It's true? Starting next month? β
Gu Qi chuckled: "What?" Aren't we talking about the same thing? β
Chen Xingling shook his head: "I mean-I can make a lot of money by making fried noodles." What about you? What is a special perk? β
Gu Qi smiled and whispered: "This business trip went quite smoothly, I helped solve several problems, and later I was appreciated by the superior leaders." Before leaving, the leader told me that he had helped me apply for the special allowance for experts, and it would be approved next month. An additional allowance would be remitted to me from the post office every month until I retired and died. β
"Wow~~!" Chen Xingling smiled excitedly, "Archie, you are really amazing!" β
Gu Qi smiled when he saw her, his eyebrows and eyes were full of affection.
"No matter how many, it's all stored in our big shell. When the money is almost enough, build a new house the way you like. β
"Hee-hee!" Chen Xingling smiled noncommittally, and only said, "It's okay, it's okay, save it first." β
β¦β¦
The next morning, Chen Jixing took his eldest brother and second brother into the city in a tractor, and after explaining to the doorman, he went straight to the downstairs on the first floor of Linjiang.
Gu Qi, who had not yet gone to work, led them upstairs, and then the four men moved up and down several times, and finally moved all the fried noodles in the house onto the tractor.
Tied with thick ropes, the four of them set off for the harbor.
Chen Jixing patted the big snakeskin bag at his feet and said with a smile: "This is an extra made for me by my little sister!" She bought so much in the ship's restaurant, and she did so much moreβI might have to vomit! β
Everyone laughed.
When I arrived at the port, I soon came to the big freighter where Chen Jixing went to work.
All the fried noodles were unloaded and loaded onto the freighter.
After Lao Luo counted the number, he quickly wrote a bill of goods, and then settled the balance.
Chen Jixing put the money in an envelope, and then handed it to Gu Qi for him to pass it on to his sister.
Gu Qi took it and stuffed it directly into his pocket without opening it.
"Fourth brother, when are you leaving? When the time comes, Xing'er and I will come to see you off. β
Chen Jixing squinted his eyes with the wet sea breeze blowing, and replied with a smile: "It should be two days later." Don't come, go to school when you should go to school, go to work when you need to work. I'll probably be back in a few months, so don't make it look like it's going to take years. β
Gu Qi just smiled slightly, and didn't make it clear whether he would come or not.
Two days later, in the morning, the whole family did not go to the sea, and squeezed into a tractor to send Chen Jixing to the port.
"Fourth...... Go home early. β
"Fourth! Bon voyage! β
"Fourth uncle! Bon voyage! β
Chen Jixing's eyes swept over a large group of close relatives, smiling and waving his hand, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Let's all go back! Mom, Dad, take care! Rest assured, I'll be back soon! β
As soon as he was about to step on the slope, he heard the familiar shout of the little sister!
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! β
I saw Gu Qi riding a bicycle, with a fat son in front and a wife in the back, and a family of three hurrying here.
