Chapter 171: Doesn't Spend Money
The night was dark, and Gu Qi and the others finally returned to the first floor of Linjiang.
Gu Miao's face was slightly pale, and she didn't look serious, except that her spirit was slightly worse, which was about the same as usual.
"I went to the department store, and it didn't take long for me to feel dizzy, sweat all the time, and I felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. I wanted to walk back, but I didn't know where to go. Fortunately, I met the second-rate son of the Chen family...... Otherwise, I don't know what to do. β
Gu Yi scolded angrily: "I usually don't listen to you if you drink more water!" Yesterday it was so hot that I didn't even bother to call if I knew. It's good that you dare to go out in the stove-like weather! The department store is so far away, and only a fool like you dares to go out and buy something on such a hot day! β
Gu Miao glanced at him, knowing that he didn't dare to say anything.
Zhao Xiaoxing asked with concern: "Everyone hasn't eaten yet, right?" Why did you come back so late? β
Gu Yi sighed and explained: "I can't leave until the last bottle of drip is finished, and I have to go to get the medicine." It's only so late to drag around! β
Chen Xingling asked Zhao Xiaoxing to fry noodles and brought out a large pot of seaweed meatball soup.
"You're all thirsty, aren't you? Take a few sips of soup first and eat fried noodles later. β
Li Ying and Gu Miao rushed over.
The little tiger sitting at the dining table shouted: "Grandma, little aunt, you haven't washed your hands yet!" Mom said, wash your hands before eating! β
Li Ying shook her head and muttered: "Your hands are clean, you can't wash them." β
Chen Xingling frowned and reminded: "You are coming back from the hospital, you should pay more attention to hygiene." Even children know how to wash their hands before eating, do adults still need children to remind them? β
Li Ying and Gu Miao ran impatiently to wash their hands, and quickly sat down to eat.
Gu Yi was also hungry, so he scooped a big bowl with his hands, and Ma Li buried his head in eating.
Gu Qi came out of the room, and when he saw that there was no Gu Xuan, he asked his son to call Gu Xuan out for dinner.
The little tiger climbed down and ran into the small room with a puff of smoke.
A moment later, he ran out.
"The eldest aunt said that she couldn't eat, she didn't eat."
Gu Qi was a little worried and asked Gu Xuan what was going on.
Chen Xingling frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"She said it was too hot." Gu Qi replied: "I can't eat it." β
Chen Xingling said: "Archie, I boiled some white porridge. You let Gu Xuan come out to eat, and I'll find her some appetizing plums to eat. β
After listening to this, Gu Xuan came out and ate together.
The living room has a ceiling fan on, and the balcony is blowing a strong wind, which is not as hot as yesterday.
Gu Yi gulped down the noodles and said suspiciously: "The wind is blowing a little fiercely tonight, so it's finally cooler." β
Chen Xingling explained: "This is the wind blowing in a typhoon, which is different from the usual river wind and sea breeze. β
Everyone stared in surprise one by one!
"Typhoon? Is it the kind of typhoon that is in the coastal areas? β
"Mom! I heard that it is a great disaster! No wonder the wind blows so hard! β
Chen Xingling said: "Listening to the radio weather forecast, it says that it will land tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow, the wind force in the center is about 11, and the landing site is a little far away from our side, so don't worry too much." It will rain and wind for a day or two here in Yucheng, and when the typhoon passes, it should rain for a day or two, and then it will clear up. Typhoon days bring rain and coolness, that's for sure. But strong winds can also be somewhat destructive. β
"Soβwhat are we going to do?" Zhao Xiaoxing is a typical inland girl, and asked nervously: "Should we hide?" β
Chen Xingling replied: "Don't be afraid, just don't go to the river and the sea, especially the most dangerous seaside." Buy some things to eat and use at home tomorrow, go out less when it's windy and rainy, and try to stay in the house as much as possible. When the wind and rain pass, it will be fine. β
"How can you say it so easily?" Li Yinghu muttered suspiciously: "I heard that the typhoon is a catastrophe, and it is very dangerous and dangerous. How did it get into your mouth, as if nothing happened. β
Chen Xingling secretly thought it was funny and explained: "If we are farmers, growers or fishermen, we must be too busy to touch the land. When strong winds and rains come, crops can be damaged, and thatched huts or greenhouses can be blown away. It may be necessary to harvest in advance, pile up the pond and fish pond, stabilize the house and greenhouse, etc. Fishermen had to dock their boats in advance, and they could not go to sea or go to sea to fish, at least they had to go ashore and hide for at least a few days. We live in high-rise buildings, so we just need to have candles, flashlights and food, and stay away from balconies or windows. β
"Sometimes there are power outages." Gu Qi reminded: "Especially when the wind and rain are the most violent, power outages are common. If the wind and rain are too strong, the shipyard will most likely stop work and rest. β
Gu Yi also experienced a typhoon for the first time, and asked worriedly: "Will it be flooded or something?" β
"Occasionally." Gu Qi replied; "But the typhoon rain is usually one after another, and the uproar is very violent. When the rain doesn't have time to subside, it will flood. β
Chen Xingling explained: "In recent years, the river embankment has been built very high, and as long as the sea water does not backflow, there is basically no fear of flooding. β
Li Ying listened to it in a cold sweat and asked, "The sea water is pouring in?" What is it? Sounds scary! β
"Hmm." Chen Xingling replied: "It's quite scary, it's flooding." People who live in low-lying areas may be flooded, but in places like ours, which are several stories high, there is no need to worry. β
"Why don't you worry?" Gu Miao's face turned pale, and she asked, "We live so close to the river, and it's also close to the mouth of the seaβis it really okay?" β
Gu Qi replied: "It should be fine." There may be a shutdown on the dockyard side, and there will be little impact elsewhere. When the shipyard was built, it was a few zhang high, which was higher than the nearby places. β
"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of the construction site of Shuiyue Road?" Gu Yi asked worriedly: "Workers can stop work, but can the newly built wall be carried over?" I'm afraid the freshly built wall can't withstand the super wind, right? β
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Don't be afraid, the walls on the first floor were built two days ago, supporting each other, and there is no single wall." The foundation is made of large stones, which should be considered very stable. I asked the master, and they said it was okay, no matter how strong the wind was, it wouldn't blow down. β
Gu Yi asked in surprise: "So fast?" The foundation was just laid a few days ago, and now the first floor is all laid! That's fast! β
Chen Xingling chuckled: "It's okay, there are many workers and masters, and they work fast." When the typhoon has passed, it is necessary to start making wooden stairs and the second floor. β
The salary she gives is five cents or one cent higher than that of other places, and she is never in arrears, and it is settled on a daily basis or every three days, and it will never exceed three days.
The wages are very happy, and they can be five cents higher than other places, and the workers and masters are very happy to come to work on her side, introduce each other to each other, and rush to come.
There are many people, and the progress of the construction site is very fast, fortunately, there is a professional Master Mo in charge, and Ma Dali, who knows how to work as a carpenter, to help, otherwise she will definitely not be busy alone.
"What?" Li Ying couldn't care about eating noodles, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" Which road is Shuiyue Road? What construction site is not a construction site? What are you building a wall for? β
Gu Yi was about to answer, but his brother preempted him.
Gu Qi explained: "Xing'er's fourth brother bought a piece of land for her on Shuiyue Road, and now he is building a house. The north gate of the shipyard is Shuiyue Road, which is very close to this side. β
"Really?!" Li Ying was dumbfounded, and asked with a surprised smile: "Is the place big?" How many houses to build? It's all sent by the fourth uncle? How much is it worth? You don't have to spend money, do you? β
Chen Xingling replied with a cold face: "It's okay, it's not very big." My fourth brother said that we would build two rooms for our family of three to live in, and Archie would not have to spend a penny. β
The money to build the house was earned by her, and she would not spend a dime on Gu Qi, so that her mother-in-law would have to be a demon to emphasize sovereignty, saying that the house was built by her son, and it was natural for her to live in it.
She must insist on this, otherwise she will be glued for the rest of her life.
Li Ying smiled happily, so excited that she didn't know where to put it.
"This fourth uncle is also fine! I bought you land and built a houseβvery generous! That's what your family has to do! Family, he should be so rich to take care of his sister! My brother and sister have to be like this! β
After speaking, the corner of her eyes glared straight at Zhao Xiaoxing.
Zhao Xiaoxing was frightened, shrunk her head and buried herself in eating, and she didn't dare to take a breath.
