Chapter 539 Red Envelope Meeting Gift

"No!"

Talking about this trip, Zhou Zhongwei was also quite helpless. "When I came here, I thought my mission would be completed in half a month at most. After I got here, I found that it might take three months, let alone half a month."

Qin Jiu was still very sympathetic. He smiled and comforted him, "Uncle, think positively. Just think of it as a public-funded trip."

Yi Chichi and Wen's mother looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing.

Zhou Zhongwei was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"You have a sharp mind. When I return to the capital, I will treat you to braised fried dough sticks and soy milk."

Qin Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, braised pork, fried dough sticks and soy milk were all foods he didn't like.

But good intentions count.

So, he smiled and thanked her, then took the initiative to change the subject.

Zhou Zhongwei has been to many places. Due to work reasons, he has been to cities with machinery factories in the east, south, west, north and central China, and has a certain understanding of the local customs and cultures.

When it comes to local specialties and features, he is very knowledgeable.

At first, only Yi Chichi and his family chatted with him. After he talked about the interesting things he encountered during his business trip and the local delicacies he tasted, the passengers who were originally on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and the sea view and had no intention of responding to the conversation, could not hold back their curiosity and came over to talk to him.

Wen Yi is a king of supporting roles. He listens carefully to whatever others say with his big black eyes. He laughs when others laugh and claps his hands.

If someone talked to him, he would respond with babbling words and chat with people.

Someone praised him for being smart. Before his mother Yi Chichi could say anything, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu nodded and said without any modesty that their child (brother) was indeed smart.

Amidst laughter and joy, we arrived at the port.

Zhou Zhongwei was traveling with them and both needed to go to the station to buy tickets to Guangzhou.

Coming out of Yangcheng Station, Qin Jiu and Zhou Zhongwei reluctantly said goodbye to the people and picked up the luggage on the ground, "Aunt, shall we go buy tickets now?"

"The tickets are ready, let's go get them now."

Trains nowadays are not like those in later times where you can buy tickets for the same day or the next day. You need someone to help you buy them in advance, otherwise the time will not be right.

"We're going to the Friendship Store now, staying at the guesthouse tonight, and leaving tomorrow morning."

"Did you ask Xiao Ning to help buy the ticket?"

"Yes."

Yi Chichi nodded. There were many people who could be found, such as Wen Shi’s comrades-in-arms Hou Dahai and others, and Nan Juhong and others who had always been in contact with her.

But she didn't look for any of these people, she went directly to Ning Jiandong.

There is no other reason, we are just familiar enough, and we are both good partners, and there are enough interests involved.

You don't have to rack your brains to repay favors when you go to him.

The most important thing is to find Ning Jiandong, who can buy a sleeper ticket.

She explained softly, "We have a baby with us, and both the hard sleeper and hard seat are too tiring, so the soft sleeper is more convenient."

"Auntie, did you buy all the soft sleeper berths?"

Qin Jiu's eyes suddenly widened. Yi Chichi hummed. He began to calculate how much money he had spent. After he finished, he sighed, "What a waste. Just buy one for you and your brother to sleep on. Grandma and I don't have to sit."

Mother Wen also felt it was a waste, but she knew Yi Chichi's personality very well, and was also worried that Qin Jiu's words would upset her, so she joked, "Your grandma and I are already so old, we can suffer less."

"Your grandma is right. She has reached the age where she can enjoy her life."

She said this in a low voice. In this age where hard work is considered an advantage, you can stay at home and enjoy yourself and indulge in luxury.

The only thing is that you can't bring it up openly in public, as it's easy to be criticized.

Before the overall environment changes completely, we still need to pay attention to what we should pay attention to.

"the same as you."

Glancing at Qin Jiu, she said, "When growing up, adequate good sleep and nutritious nutrition are very important."

"You don't want to wait until you grow up and still be taller than me, right?!"

This sentence is absolutely fatal. No matter whether they are big men or small men, they all care about their height. Qin Jiu is no exception. When he thinks that he is the shortest in the family, he shudders.

"No matter where I go in the future, I will definitely eat well and sleep well."

"Ah."

After coming out of the station, Yi Chichi led everyone to the station to take the tram, but he didn't expect -

"Xiao Yi, this way!"

A familiar voice came from the left. Yi Chichi turned around when he heard the shout and saw Gu Xinghua's grinning face coming into his sight.

She was stunned for a second, then she smiled and called out "Uncle Gu", and then led Wen's mother and Qin Jiu towards where he was.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"The train is leaving tomorrow morning. Lao Ning said you would definitely come today, so he asked me to pick you up."

As he spoke, he reached out to take the luggage.

Yi Chichi thanked him quickly and handed him the luggage. "Uncle, how long have you been here?"

"Not long. I arrived about ten minutes earlier than you."

Gu Xinghua didn't lie. There are only a few ferries leaving the island. It won't work if you leave too early because it may take too long to get there, and it won't work if you leave too late either.

It is easy to miss the last bus to Guangzhou and thus miss the train tomorrow morning.

Therefore, by taking the median time of the remaining ferries, we can roughly estimate the arrival time of her family.

Then wait outside the station, and wait for it to come.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

He greeted Wen's mother with a smile, and also stuffed a red envelope into Wen Yi's hand, "Yi Yi, it's our first meeting, so grandpa will give you a red envelope to buy candy."

Wen Yi had no idea how to buy candy, but the thing stuffed into his hand was his.

Naturally, you have to hurry up.

He grabbed the red envelope and said "ah" to Gu Xinghua. Gu Xinghua laughed and said, "Our Yi Yi is really polite. He knows how to say thank you at such a young age."

Yi Chichi, "..."

Uncle Gu’s filter is really outrageous.

She smiled and thanked Wen Yi on his behalf, and introduced Qin Jiu to him.

Gu Xinghua, who had been prepared, took out another red envelope and gave it to Qin Jiu. "Young talent, study hard and become a pillar of the country when you grow up."

Qin Jiu looked at Yi Chi Chi and saw her nod. He took the red envelope with a "hmm" and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Gu. I will."

"Come on, get in the car, we'll go back first."

Gu Xinghua came by car, a military green jeep. The car was very old and noisy, but it was more convenient and faster than the tram.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the warehouse of the Friendship Store. Xiaoyu, who had been sitting in front of the embroidery room for a long time and was tired, came out to stretch her muscles. When she saw Yi Chichi coming down holding a chubby baby who was looking around, her eyes lit up.

"Sister Chi Chi, is this Wen Yi?"

She ran over excitedly, her voice a little loud. Master Qian and the others who were sitting in front of the embroidery frame in the room heard this and looked at each other. Master Qian was the first to stand up.

"Xiao Yi brought the baby here, I have to go see him."

Master Tang stood up and said, "I have to take a look too."

As she spoke, she touched her pocket and found it was empty. She stopped immediately and asked, "Who of you brought money?"

"What do you bring money for?"

They lived in dormitories and ate in the cafeteria. The Friendship Store also paid them wages and various receipts as subsidies on a regular basis. If they were in financial difficulty, the money could be deducted from their wages.

There's no point carrying money.

"Give Chi Chi's kid a red envelope as a meeting gift."

It would be embarrassing to come empty-handed; after all, they are our elders.
