Chapter 121 Regret
Even though I had some connections and someone from the clothing factory came to the station to assist with the transfer, I still didn’t have a seat for the car that night.
If you have to leave that night, you can only sign a standing ticket.
The fact is, if it hadn't been for the comrade from the garment factory who came to help, they wouldn't even have been able to sign the standing tickets for the day.
It would take nearly twenty hours to get from the provincial station to the capital, and Liu Xinyu was scared just thinking about it.
Zhang Hongliang didn't want Liu Xinyu to suffer so much. Anyway, they set off two days in advance. As long as they could sign in for seats, there would be no problem even if they were two days late.
After coordination with the comrades in the garment factory, they were finally given tickets for the next day.
After getting the transferred seat ticket and looking at the seats, Liu Xinyu was ecstatic.
Although it is just a seat ticket, it is in the middle of the carriage. It is relatively far from the toilet. It is not convenient to use the toilet, and it is relatively far away from the smell.
Liu Xinyu was very satisfied and of course wanted to thank the comrades in the garment factory.
The ticket he signed was for the train leaving at 20:00 tomorrow night. There are still more than thirty hours before departure. Zhang Hongliang plans to accompany Liu Xinyu to visit several famous scenic spots in the provincial capital.
In his opinion, although Liu Xinyu came to the provincial capital twice, she was busy working for him both times and had no time to play at all.
Liu Xinyu didn't want to play much.
As Liu Xinyu, she has indeed only been to the provincial capital twice, but the Jiangnan provincial capital is no stranger to her. She has been to basically all the scenic spots. It is really not interesting to say that it is not as beautiful as the beautiful mountains and clear waters of the Minqin Brigade.
The garment factory helped me a lot today. Since I am free now, of course I will report back in time.
Liu Xinyu didn't want to play anymore and planned to go to the clothing factory to have a look. Zhang Hongliang felt a little regretful.
He originally planned to use the opportunity of accompanying Liu Xinyu to play and get to know Liu Xinyu better. Of course, it would be better if they could develop a relationship.
Of course, Zhang Hongliang did not object to Liu Xinyu's opinion, but followed suit: "Okay, since you don't plan to play, then we will go to the machinery factory as you asked and stay in the guest house at night."
The director of the clothing factory was naturally overjoyed to see Liu Xinyu. Now Liu Xinyu is the God of Wealth in his eyes.
Although it's not yet time to wear spring clothes, the children's clothes designed by Liu Xinyu have already become popular in the city from the machine factory.
In the past few days, I have been slow to receive calls from major department stores requesting orders.
Liu Xinyu couldn't help laughing after hearing the factory director's exaggerated words: "No wonder the lines were busy after several calls the day before yesterday!"
Of course Liu Xinyu wouldn't mind giving more advice if someone helped her.
Of course, we can no longer provide the design drawings of the clothing, but some small ideas can still be provided.
Although it is just a small idea, it has brought considerable benefits to the garment factory. Of course, this is a story later.
Mrs. Gu happened to be resting at home today, so she stopped resting after hearing the news and rushed to the factory to invite the two of them to her home for dinner.
Since I came to the machinery factory, of course I couldn't help but meet Master Gu.
However, Zhang Hongliang didn't want to go into the factory, so as not to affect everyone's work, he called Master Gu using the garment factory's internal phone and told them that his wife wanted to invite them to his home for dinner.
Master Gu was very happy when he heard Zhang Hongliang's voice.
Master Gu was even more happy when he learned that he and Liu Xinyu had signed a train ticket for tomorrow and were now at the garment factory.
As for inviting Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu to have dinner at home, that's not a matter of course. There is no need to communicate with him.
Mrs. Gu was listening happily.
After confirming the number of people who would come to the house for dinner in the evening, Mrs. Gu went straight to a nearby farmhouse.
At this time, the small market outside the factory gate had already run out of food. Although the family still had some bacon and sausages brought back from their hometown, it was obviously not enough to treat guests, so they had to buy a chicken, a fish, and some eggs from a nearby farmer.
Liu Xinyu only knew that Mrs. Gu was gone, but she didn't know that Mrs. Gu had gone to the farm to do some shopping. It wasn't until she went to Gu's house in the evening and saw a table of sumptuous dishes that she realized that Mrs. Gu had been busy all afternoon treating them to dinner.
Liu Xinyu felt very embarrassed, looked at Mrs. Gu and said: "We came here to help Mrs. Gu. If we had known earlier, we should have asked Brother Zhang to come here first, so that he could help."
In fact, it was Liu Xinyu who should come to help, but Liu Xinyu kept (this chapter is not finished!)
Being pulled by the factory director and asking questions, Zhang Hongliang’s urging to come here was the result of Zhang Hongliang’s urging.
Of course, Zhang Hongliang was not idle all the time. Under Liu Xinyu's guidance, he helped the garment factory repair several machines.
Originally, he had to come to the factory all the time. When he was about to go out, his children came to him and said that the elderly at home suddenly felt unwell, so the factory director could only rush home to take care of the elderly.
Master Gu actually brought someone back with him, and this person was Director Bai of the second workshop.
When they came in, they happened to hear Liu Xinyu's words. Master Gu laughed, pointed at Zhang Hongliang and said: "Asking him to help will only be a disservice! He, let him repair something or car parts, he can easily get it. Let him
Helping in the kitchen, forget it. Peeling a potato can remove half of the potato."
Director Bai also said two things that caused Zhang Hongliang to go into the kitchen and help him, which made Zhang Hongliang blush with embarrassment, while Liu Xinyu pursed her lips and was happy.
Everyone washed their hands and came out to serve together. Gu Changsheng pointed to the dishes on the table with a smile and said: "Xinyu hasn't eaten the dishes cooked by Mrs. Gu yet. Her cooking skills are quite acceptable. Come on, try it quickly."
As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Gu a piece of fish belly meat, but Mrs. Gu glared at her.
The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host, and Master Gu and Director Bai talked about some allusions to the capital.
These two people have been to the capital many times, especially Master Gu. As a model representative of the working class, he has been to the capital many times to receive commendations.
The next day, Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang continued to go to the garment factory. The old man in the factory director's family was hospitalized and did not come to the factory in the morning. They told him in advance that the deputy factory director would accompany him throughout the whole process.
Everything that needed to be done was done, and everything that could be helped was helped. After having a light meal at the garment factory at noon, Liu Xinyu decided to go to the city in advance.
Although Liu Xinyu doesn't plan to go to any scenic spots, she still wants to go to the mall to take a look, not to buy anything, but to experience the products of this era, especially clothing, which may bring more inspiration.
.
Maybe I will take a different path in this life, and I will no longer do fashion design, but I can treat design as a hobby.
Liu Xinyu kept going to the clothing counter. Zhang Hongliang thought that Liu Xinyu wanted to buy clothes and was ready to pay for Liu Xinyu. As a result, he went to several shopping malls and didn't even buy any clothes.
At almost six o'clock, Liu Xinyu walked out of the largest department store in the provincial capital still unsatisfied.
After walking around for a long time, although he was a little tired, Zhang Hongliang was in a surprisingly good mood. The regret that Liu Xinyu was unwilling to play with him had long since disappeared.
After finding a noodle shop, the two of them had dinner leisurely, bought some bread and snacks for the car at a nearby food store, and got on the bus to the train station.
After taking out her belongings from the bag depository, Liu Xinyu looked at her watch. It was seven forty-five, which was just the right time.
No, as soon as we entered the waiting room, the news came over the radio that "train XX has started checking in and entering the station."
