Man Lu

Ever since Zhang Yujin sent Mother Zhang to Gu's house, he has been on duty all the time. He didn't even come back for the New Year's Eve dinner, but just called.

Sitting at the dining table, Mother Zhang looked at the happy and harmonious Gu family of six, looked at the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and thought about her son Yujin who was in the hospital, she felt sad.Thinking about the batch of annual gifts yesterday, she felt more and more that their Zhang family was really incomparable with the Gu family.She lived in the Gu family for three days, and the Gu family took good care of her.She also remembered that when Gu's father passed away six years ago, she and Yujin did not lend a helping hand to the Gu family at all. Looking at Man Lu next to Mrs. Gu, the child was originally her daughter-in-law, but now she felt it was a pity.It would be good if I hadn't done that, she thought.This New Year's Eve dinner was spent in her wild thoughts.

Zhang Yujin only got one day off on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.He carried a roast duck, a bag of apples, and a bag of oranges to the door of Gu's house.He sent red envelopes to the four brothers and sisters of the Gu family, ten yuan each, which was considered a big red envelope.

As soon as he entered, except for Weimin and Jiemin who stayed with him for a while, all the Gu family left with excuses, allowing Zhang's mother and son to get together.The Gu family all went up to the second floor, leaving Zhang's mother and son talking in the lobby on the first floor.Zhang Yujin was very grateful to see that her mother was well taken care of by the Gu family.If the Gu family hadn't reached out, maybe he would have thought of quitting his job and returning to Lu'an.Here, it's just the two of them, mother and son, it's too difficult, and if something happens, they don't even have a helper.In the past ten days, like Zhang's mother, he thought about six years ago, when Gu's father passed away, if his family could extend a hand, then he and Man Lu would not be what they are now.

The mother and son of the Zhang family had lunch with the Gu family, and the dining atmosphere was very harmonious.At the dinner table, Mother Zhang proposed to go home with Yujin, and Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu naturally persuaded her to stay.The Zhang family's mother and son saw that the Gu family was sincere, and thinking about going home to recuperate, Yu Jin often stayed in the hospital, and it was really inconvenient to hire a helper for a while, and couldn't find any good ones.In the end, Zhang's mother naturally lived as Mrs. Gu expected, and went back after living until she could walk on the ground without hindrance.

After Zhang Yujin had lunch, he stayed for another hour or so before he left and went back to the hospital.Although he has a day off today, he still wants to get up in the hospital as soon as possible.In the hospital, he has no one to rely on but himself.He worked overtime without any complaints in the hospital, just to find good friends among the directors in the hospital, so that they could bring him into the profession as soon as possible.Over the past two years, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he has achieved initial results since last year.Recently, he has gained the favor of Director Wu. If there is no accident this year, he will definitely become a real surgeon and has the qualification to operate alone.

Zhang Yujin carried a large bag of food and got on the tram to the hospital.As people come and go outside the car, Man Lu's face appears in his mind.He went to Gu's house twice last time. In her eyes, he really became an old friend, and she really lost her love for him.He clenches his fists tightly, he will never give up, one day, her eyes and hearts will be full of him.

In the past ten days, Zhang's mother has been well taken care of by Gu's family, for which she is very grateful to Gu's family.Because of her limited mobility here, she has never been to the second floor.Because the four members of the Gu family and Mrs. Gu stayed on the second floor all day long, although I learned from Mrs. Gu that the four members of the Gu family were studying and the old lady was supervising the work, they were still very curious about the second floor. of.

In addition to being curious about the second floor, there is also curiosity about the cleaning of the Gu family's fourth sibling.Every day unless it rains, Weimin and Jiemin will take care of the garden, water the flowers and trees in the garden, and do cleaning work.Manlu cleaned the building from time to time, but never cooked.Manzhen helps Mrs. Gu cook or clean the dishes from time to time.

The Gu family only hired a little girl surnamed Huang to do daily shopping and laundry.This servant brings vegetables and clean clothes at nine o'clock every day, and then collects dirty clothes for washing.She stayed at Gu's house temporarily, and her clothes were also handed over to this little girl to wash.

The Gu family has only neighbors, the Chen family, and no one else.Zhang's mother was a little curious about the income of the Gu family's family. She knew that the Gu family had no land to rent in their hometown of Lu'an, so now they could afford to live in a mansion, have helpers, and have good meals every day. Everything was an expense.The four members of the Gu family were all in school, and Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu didn't go out to work, and I didn't see them doing any work at home.In the end, she boiled it down to Manlu being a dancer or the money she earned.Especially the New Year's gift on New Year's Eve, could it be from Man Lu's benefactor.This Gu family is supported by these two benefactors.

Zhang's mother didn't think about this floor at first that day. When she went to bed at night, she realized that the Gu family is now supported by Manlu's benefactor. She complained that Mrs. Gu didn't tell her. She felt that the Gu family was dirty and she didn't want to be here. .In the morning of the next day, she called Yujin, who knew that Yujin was busy all the time, and he didn't call back until [-] o'clock in the evening.At this time, Zhang's mother had lost her arrogance, and she had given up her desire to leave the Gu family.Then because of Mrs. Chen's attitude towards the Gu family, she felt that there was nothing wrong with the Gu family. If a family like the Chen family had acquaintance with the Gu family, it would not be out of the ordinary or shameful for her Zhang family to be acquainted with the Gu family.Then, the more she stayed, the more comfortable she became, and she would not move for the time being.

Because Manlu was making nets during the Chinese New Year, a lot of nets were collected, which was enough for sales in the second half of the year.Mrs. Gu no longer asked Mrs. Gu to make contact, but only asked Mrs. Gu to prepare three meals and take care of Zhang's mother during cleaning work.The other thing is that Mrs. Gu has a sense of protection. The zipper is the income of the Gu family, so no one can learn it. She doesn't know that someone imitated her family's zipper.

Most of Mrs. Gu's cleaning work was taken over by Man Lu.Apart from preparing three meals, she was busy with other things. When she stopped suddenly, she was not used to it, so she picked up the insoles she made when she was free, and started to make insoles.Mother Zhang naturally embroidered insoles with Mrs. Gu to pass the time.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Gu and Zhang's mother were making insoles on the sofa in the downstairs hall when the doorbell rang.Mrs. Gu stood up and pressed the door switch before she went out, and saw Ah Ying from the Chen family.Ah Ying rushed in and told Mrs. Gu that there was a stranger at home looking at the nets made by Gu's family, and they wanted fifty sets of six pieces today.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu told Ah Ying to sit downstairs and wait while she went upstairs to get the goods.Mrs. Gu was very excited when she heard that Mrs. Chen wanted so much, and happily went upstairs to look for Weimin.

Man Lu has stopped communicating since yesterday, she is trying to translate a book.Translate foreign English engineering books into Chinese.She heard what Mrs. Gu said from the side. Compared to the happy Mrs. Gu, she didn't have much expression when the Chen family wanted so many goods.In the contract signed between the Gu family's Chinese knot and Mrs. Gao, there is a stipulation that the goods cannot be re-shipped to other domestic merchants.As long as the shipment reaches ten pieces, and these ten pieces refer to single pieces, not kits, then it is a violation of the agreement.

Weimin has always been in charge of the Gu family's business dealings with the outside world. Manlu saw that Weimin asked Jiemin to go downstairs and called Aying upstairs to ask for clarification.Then he knew that Weimin still remembered this, so he relaxed and continued with the work at hand.

Zhang's mother was sitting downstairs. She heard that she wanted something, but she couldn't hear what it was.Looking at Ah Ying who was standing on the side, she didn't sit down as Mrs. Gu said, but sat by the door with a regular distance.She wanted to know what was going on, but she knew that she was an outsider, and the guest couldn't ask if the host didn't tell.

For a quarter of an hour, seeing Jiemin coming downstairs to ask Ah Ying to go upstairs, Zhang's mother really felt that she was an outsider to the Gu family when she saw the two of them going upstairs.With her around, the Gu family would avoid her when talking.She felt a little uncomfortable, but it was normal for the Gu family to say so. She suppressed the discomfort and continued to make insoles.

Weimin carefully asked the Chen family about the situation of foreign guests asking for loans, but Ah Ying couldn't explain clearly, and only said that the foreign guests were foreigners.Weimin told Ah Ying about his shipments, asked Ah Ying to go back, and asked Mr. Chen if he could talk to foreigners.If possible, please trouble Ah Ying to run again.As soon as Ah Ying left, Weimin took two contracts from the bookcase, one in Chinese and one in English, with the same content. This was prepared by Manlu earlier for Weimin to prepare for today's situation.The most important item indicated in the contract is that the purchased Gujia products cannot be sold in the country.

Mrs. Chen saw Ah Ying coming back alone, and after hearing what Ah Ying said, she felt that the Gu family was an honest family.Taking advantage of serving tea again, Mrs. Chen stepped forward to tell Mr. Chen.Mr. Chen immediately communicated with the foreigner in English.When the outsider heard it, he was a little surprised. It was just a small accessory, and there were many conditions.But he just liked it. When he saw the six-piece set in Chen's study, he thought it was a good thing.Anyway, he wanted to go home, and of course the goods were shipped back. There was no conflict, so he agreed to make a light order with the merchant.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen immediately asked Ah Ying to run again.When Ah Ying led Weimin in, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen and the foreigner Jack were surprised that he was the one who made the decision.

After everyone introduced each other, seeing that Weimin's English is very good, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen gave up the study room to his British friend Jack and Weimin for business.The two had no problem talking, and they understood each other's situation at once.Then just sign the sales contract that Weimin brought, and that's it.The two talked for less than 10 minutes, and the business was done.

Weimin came out of the study, first thanked Mrs. Chen and his wife, and then said that the business was completed, and he wanted to borrow Ah Ying and Mrs. Wu from Mrs. Chen to pick up the goods.Then I drank tea and chatted with Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Jack in the living room.

After Weimin and Aying went out, Manlu arranged for the members of the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu went downstairs to pick them up. She, Mrs. Gu, Manzhen, and Jiemin packed fifty six-piece sets.When Wu's sister-in-law Ah Ying came up, the goods in the study were ready.For the four big burdens, Aying, Wu's sister-in-law, took them back to hand over the errands.

The foreigner Jack only inspected one of the sets, and stopped inspecting the goods. He asked his assistant to pay Weimin on the spot a gold bar equivalent to [-] yuan.At the same time, the two sides also exchanged contact information, which of course included phone calls.

After Weimin left, the foreigner Jack gave Mr. Chen a thumbs up and praised Weimin.It was only this day that Mr. Chen saw Weimin clearly. Before that, he was just a friend of his son, a junior.Although his sons kept whispering in his ears how outstanding the Gu brothers were, he didn't agree.But today, he thinks it is. At the age of 16, I talked with foreigners on such a big order alone, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impetuous. Two years later, it will be even more serious.
