"As the saying goes, the old son's grandson is the lifeblood of the old lady. What's more, the old lady's son is gone, so the grandson she cares about most now..."
Zhang Xue had classes in the afternoon, and Chen Lishu had lunch with her and then went home.
Chen Guoping gave her the exact news two days later.
"I've already said hello to you at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. When the time comes, you can just go there with all your documents."
Chen Lishu didn't expect that he would even greet the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and thank her repeatedly before hanging up the phone.
That afternoon she went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with all her documents.
She and Han Shengquan knew each other originally, and Chen Guoping also said hello, so she got the business license the next day.
"Let's take the kids to the children's playground on the weekend. I'll be busy building the factory in a while. I don't know when I'll have time. I don't worry about Mom and Sister Xiaoyue taking three kids out."
"Okay, I'll arrange the work in the next two days. By the way, we need manpower to build the factory, right? I'll tell Xiao Li later and ask him to go over and help you plan it."
Xiao Li is an engineer hired by Gu Xingdong at a high price. He not only understands technology, but can also draw drawings.
Chen Lishu smiled: "I was just about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to mention it. Husband, you are so kind."
Gu Xingdong folded his left leg over his right leg, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and there was a hint of scorn in his eyes: "I don't need to say thank you. I like to express it with practical actions."
Chen Lishu: "..."
Liu Yuemin dragged the remaining basket of vegetables under the counter and put it away. She straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. There was a large bag of potatoes and melons in the aisle. She turned around to look for Gu Xingmin, but found that he had disappeared.
.
By the time she struggled to drag the bag to the counter, her whole body was as hot as if she had just been sweating, and the gray half-sleeve collar had been soaked with sweat and turned dark gray.
Zhang Xiaoju sealed the mouths of all the seasoning bags, then took the bags from the table, pulled down the iron gate of the shop, and took her daughter's hand to walk towards the market entrance.
Today, Saturday, the two families made an appointment to take their children to Gu Xingdong's house and visit her mother-in-law, Li Xiulan.
As soon as the mother and daughter turned out of the store on one side, they saw Gu Xingmin standing with a woman not far away, whispering something.
Zhang Xiaoju knew the woman from another fruit seller in the market.
Zhang Xiaoju didn't think much about it, and was about to call someone when she suddenly saw Gu Xingmin take out a dozen dollars from his pocket and hand it to the woman. It seemed that the amount was not large, and most of it was in cents.
At first the woman didn't want it, but after the two of them pulled for a few times, the woman blushed and put the money away.
Zhang Xiaoju's eyes flashed, she took her daughter forward a few steps, and called out as if nothing had happened: "Second brother."
Gu Xingmin turned his head, and the smile on his face froze for a moment: "Why are you two and the fourth child alone?"
The woman standing opposite Gu Xingmin glanced at Zhang Xiaoju, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"He went to order ingredients and should be back soon."
Gu Xingmin nodded, and the two of them walked towards the door of the store together.
"When it's time to work, I can't see you. I did all these old things. Those three little brats went crazy somewhere. No one knows how to feel sorry for me. I just work hard."
…”
Liu Yuemin was setting up the gate, and when she saw his figure, she immediately pulled up her face and started scolding him.
"I told you to wait until I came back to do it. Come and see, my hands are all red." Gu Xingmin stepped forward with a smile, took her hand and helped blow air.
All Liu Yuemin's anger was blown away by him.
She rolled her eyes at him and her eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoju.
"Fourth brother and sister, what are you carrying in your hands?"
Zhang Xiaoju smiled: "I'm just going over there, so I'll bring some seasonings to Third Sister-in-law and the others. These will probably be enough for a while."
Liu Yuemin saw that she had brought something with her, and the smile on her face was a little sarcastic: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? My door is locked, or I would bring some food."
Gu Xingmin: "What's left is not very fresh. I just saw that the fish shop hasn't closed yet. How about you give me two yuan and I'll buy two fish."
Liu Yuemin was not happy: "My family sells vegetables. Why do we have to buy fish? My mother and my third brother and sister are not stingy people. Besides, I only gave you two yuan yesterday. Why did it disappear so quickly?"
Gu Xingmin didn't explain in detail in front of his sister-in-law. Just as Gu Xingye came in from outside, he stopped buying fish.
"Dad." When Gu Pan saw his father's figure, he immediately let go of Zhang Xiaoju's hand and ran towards Gu Xingye.
Several people walked out of the market gate. Gu Lin, a brother and sister, were playing in a street not far away. They heard an adult calling and ran over.
When the two families arrived, Chen Lishu and Zhao Qiuyue were cooking. Suddenly, there were several more brothers and sisters in the house. Xiaobai and Xiaochengzi were very happy. The children's chirping noise almost pushed the entire roof open.
.
"I think Lin Lin seems to have lost weight during this period and talks less than before. Don't be too busy with business and pay more attention to your children." While eating, Li Xiulan glanced at her grandson whose chin was obviously sharper.
Talk to Gu Xingmin and his wife.
Gu Xingmin took a big mouthful of rice and said nonchalantly: "The child is drawing a strip. Besides, what can happen at school? Mom, you are too worried."
Gu Lin's face almost buried itself in the bowl in front of him.
After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted, while the children talked in the room upstairs.
Gu Ming was envious: "Fourth brother, your home is better. Not only do you have delicious food, but you can also watch TV as you like. I don't want to leave."
Ruirui is the fourth among the uncles and brothers.
Ruirui: "My mother won't let me watch TV until I finish my homework. There is also a time limit. I only let you watch TV for half an hour every day. Watching too much is bad for your eyes."
"I don't want to go to school anymore." Gu Lin said suddenly as he lay on the bed with his head on his hands and looked at the ceiling.
Ruirui frowned: "Why?"
Gu Lin: "My classmates all laughed at me because I came from a rural area. The teacher also helped them. It was obviously their fault. It was me who punished me every time and asked me to apologize to them. It's not good at all in the city."
Gu Ming sniffed and said, "My classmates also laugh at me, but I'm good at marbles, so they're all willing to join me."
Ruirui frowned: "It's not your fault, why do I ask you to apologize? What your teacher did was wrong."
Gu Lin turned over and said, "Next time they dare to laugh at me, I will beat them until their teeth are all over the floor."
Before leaving, Liu Yuemin left the three children behind when she heard that Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong were taking their children to the children's paradise.
"We are busy looking at the store and don't have time to take the children out to play. Third brother and sister, do you have any objections?"
Looking at the longing eyes of the children, Chen Lishu nodded, turned to Zhang Xiaoju and said, "Fourth brothers and sisters, please keep Panpan here too, and you can come and pick her up tomorrow night."
