Chen Xingling led the bicycle and walked ahead.

Ma Dali followed with anxiety, looking behind him from time to time.

Ling Ling...... Shall we bargain with my uncle again? That- there's always a bargain to be sold, right? ”

Chen Xingling smiled, turned his head and said, "Uncle didn't want to negotiate with us, he just needs to think about it." For an all-inclusive project like this, the average person can't afford such a high price. ”

Ma Dali couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Ordinary houses are only about 200 yuan." The garden is indeed more elaborate, and the wood is more expensive, but - it shouldn't cost so much. ”

"But we're going to make money." Chen Xingling was straightforward: "If it's not to make money, what are we going to do with this big project?" Once that's done, we'll be busy for months. In addition, good stone and good wood are very expensive, and I have been to the mountains with a few brothers before, and the prices are clear. Big gift, I'm really not a lion with a big mouth. ”

When Ma Dali heard this, he quickly understood.

"The three gardens are all the materials you bought, and you think the price should be reasonable."

Chen Xingling laughed and said, "Actually, uncle, he agreed, but he had to hang us, and he didn't want to agree." ”

Ma Dali couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" He didn't think it was expensive? ”

"He thinks it's expensive, but he just knows that we're here to make money, not to do charity." Chen Xingling explained: "He is a businessman himself, so he naturally understands this truth. If he was ten years younger, or if his children were around, he wouldn't have chosen a construction team like ours. But he is too old to buy building materials and hire workers like everyone else, so he supervises and follows up a little by himself. There are no other options on the market, so in the end, we have to choose us. ”

Ma Dali was secretly suspicious, but he instinctively believed in his partner.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer."

The two chatted and soon returned to the gate of the Three Gardens.

Chen Xingling looked at his watch and found that it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"You go and call the two sisters to come over, and they can give me a hand in a while."

"Nope." Ma Dali shook his head and stopped: "I'm embarrassed enough to come alone, how can I still call my sister." They didn't dare to come, and they were embarrassed to come. ”

Chen Xingling glared at him and said, "You can't have a single tendon in your brain?" I may have to open several tables here for a while, and Xiao Xing and I can be busy. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law don't know how to work, and I can't find anyone else except for your brother and sister to help. ”

Ma Dali scratched his hair and had to nod.

“…… Okay, then I'll call them over and help. ”

Chen Xingling urged: "Quick! Hurry up! ”

Ma Dali replied and walked away quickly.

Chen Xingling pushed open the door and led the bicycle inside.

"Archie, where's the little tiger?"

Gu Qi was busy in the living room, and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I was so excited to pack up my little toys last night that Gu was going to move, and he didn't go to bed until eleven o'clock." Earlier, I was so sleepy that I climbed upstairs and staggered into my room to sleep. ”

Chen Xingling had a sense of amusement and explained: "Since he was two years old, he doesn't like napping much. I have been in Chongqing for more than half a year, and today is the first time. ”

Gu Qi said softly: "It's okay, he should go downstairs by himself when he has slept enough." I told him that the kettle on the second floor was hot and cold, and it was all in the corner of the corridor on the second floor. If he wants to drink water, he will pour it himself, and he will pour some out of a pot and mix it to drink. The thermos bottle is heavier, and his arm strength is still small, so I am afraid that sometimes I will accidentally get burned when I go to pour water, so I simply put the kettle on the floor to save him from being able to twist it. ”

"Oooh! Good! Chen Xingling turned around and went to wash his hands.

After a while, she walked out with a large plate, and the faint smell of barbecue wafted out.

Gu Qi was arranging the dining table in the living room, twisting two stools in each hand.

"Xing'er, if you want to hold four tables, will it be too much? We only had a dining table in the kitchen, plus a few wooden stools. Even if you get together upstairs and downstairs, it's enough to hold two tables at most. ”

Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and explained: "Before, Dali made two simple dining tables for workers to drink water and eat, and he was supposed to chop firewood two days ago, but I stopped him. I took them apart and put them behind the bathroom. You go and move in, and you can use it by simply packing it up. ”

"Hey." Gu Qi walked out quickly.

is worthy of a science man with strong hands-on ability, and he quickly cleaned up the dinner table.

"Xing'er, when I go to call my colleagues later, I'll borrow a few benches and come back. The dining table is available, plus a few benches, which are enough. ”

Chen Xingling brought a few roast ducks and barbecue meat to the kitchen, and then walked back quickly.

"Archie, which of your colleagues are you going to invite?"

Gu Qi thought for a moment and replied, "The apprentices in the office are usually close to each other. ”

“…… Why don't you go and ask Director Guo? Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "He has always taken good care of you, and he is both a superior and an elder, so it is still necessary to invite him." ”

Gu Qijian raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to embarrassment and whispered: "Lao Guo, he doesn't like such occasions. In addition, if he is present, the other young people may be restrained and afraid. ”

"Nope." Chen Xingling explained: "If we move in to the first floor of Linjiang, we don't need to invite guests to dinner. But this is our own garden, your new home in Yucheng, so we want to invite family and friends to get together for a lively and lively gathering. Whether he likes it or not, that's his business. Whether you scream or not, that's a matter of your attitude. ”

Gu Qi was slightly stunned, a little incomprehensible.

"If it's called, he won't necessarily come ......"

Chen Xingling shook his head: "You personally invite him to prove that we are sincere in inviting him over." If he wanted to come, it would be better. But if you don't go, he may blame you for not being polite when he finds out. You only invite colleagues, but you don't even say a word to him, an elder, which is unreasonable. ”

Gu Qi understood and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the administrative building first." ”

Chen Xingling looked at the time and said, "It's not time to get off work yet, you go to each office to deliver candy first, and then invite someone to come over." ”

"Candy?" Gu Qi didn't know why: "What do you do with sugar?" ”

Chen Xingling smiled and asked, "Usually there are no other colleagues in the office to send candy?" ”

Gu Qi whispered in embarrassment: "Occasionally, but I didn't pay much attention to it." It seems that a colleague will give candy when he gets married, right? We've sent it before. ”

"More than that." Chen Xingling explained: "No matter what happy events people here in Yucheng do, they have to send a little candy to relatives, friends and colleagues to inform them, so that they are happy and sweet. In the countryside, some traditional kueh food will be made to give away, while in the city, all sugar will be delivered. If the economy is better, send more, and the scope is wider. If the economy is ordinary, send a little to close friends and neighbors and let them know. ”

"Uh-oh." Gu Qi nodded and asked seriously, "How much will you send?" ”

Chen Xingling turned around and went upstairs, and after a while, he wrung two large bags of candy down.

"It's peanut candy. When you see a familiar face, you will give a few to others, and leave a large number in each office, and colleagues will naturally allocate it by themselves. ”

Gu Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked suspiciously: "You-where did you buy so many candies?" ”

Chen Xingling waved his hand: "I bought it a few days ago, and it can be cheaper to buy more, so I gritted my teeth and bought more." ”

Most of the things in her new home were all she moved out of the supermarket, including this evening's treat, and these two big bags of peanut candy.

It's not that I don't know, but I can save at least a few hundred dollars!

Gu Qi rarely goes to the market to buy things, and he doesn't have much idea about the price of things.

In fact, candy in grocery markets and department stores is not cheap, especially rare candies like this, which generally have to be ordered from the candy factory.

Gu Qi thought that she bought it from the candy factory, and did not forget to advise: "The factory is far away from here, and I have bought so much, it will be better for me to do this kind of work in the future." ”

"Alright, alright!" Chen Xingling smiled and pushed him out of the door: "Ma Li Fa Candy go." Remember what I just said! ”

Gu Qi smiled dotingly, twisted the peanut candy and walked towards the door.
