Chapter 104: Leaving Qingcheng County
"Oh, let's do this for today. I'll go to your Banlangen workshop tomorrow to handle specific problems." Gu Xiaoyou said with a dry mouth and some impatient words.
Zhu Cheng poured a glass of water for Gu Xiaoyou and said apologetically: "Boss Gu, don't worry, I will study it carefully tonight."
Gu Xiaoyou drank all the water in two or three gulps: "It's okay, you won't leave until I teach you."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, I'm leaving now. I'll see you at the door of the workshop tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Zhu Cheng nodded in agreement and sent Gu Xiaoyou to the door. He watched her back disappear at the door before slowly looking away.
He looked at the planning book in his hand and sighed, with a bit of reluctance in his tone: "I didn't expect Boss Zhou to leave too."
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
The entrance of the workshop.
Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou stood at the door and saw Zhu Cheng's carriage approaching from a distance.
Zhu Cheng stopped the carriage and was about to get out of the carriage when he heard Gu Xiaoyou's call.
"Lao Zhu, you're here!"
Zhu Cheng stumbled and almost fell off the carriage.
Zhou quickly walked a few steps forward to support Zhu Cheng and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Zhu Cheng blushed, but fortunately his skin was dark and he could not be seen. He said softly: "I'm fine. Thank you, Boss Zhou, for your concern."
Mrs. Zhou waited until Zhu Cheng stood up before letting go, and looked at Gu Xiaoyou angrily: "You are really naughty."
Gu Xiaoyou secretly stuck out his tongue: "I was wrong, let's go in quickly."
With that said, she hurriedly walked towards the workshop, for fear that Mrs. Zhou would talk about her.
Zhou shook her head helplessly, looked at Zhu Cheng, and said softly: "Let's go in."
"Well, you go first."
Zhou nodded and followed Gu Xiaoyou through the door.
Zhu Cheng's face was still hot, he didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Zhou, and walked in silently.
"Lao Zhu..." Gu Xiaoyou opened his mouth carelessly, and was glared at by Mr. Zhou.
She touched her nose awkwardly and changed her words: "Zhu Cheng, this is Banlangen's workshop, this is the processing room, this is..."
Gu Xiaoyou briefly explained each room, and then dragged a kind-looking woman over.
"This is Sister Zheng. She is an old employee of the workshop. If you have any questions, you can ask her."
"Hello, Boss Zhu." Sister Zheng already knew Gu Xiaoyou's arrangements and knew that Zhu Cheng would be her future boss, so she greeted her respectfully.
Zhu Cheng waved his hand: "Don't call me the boss yet, I'm not one yet."
After saying that, he glanced at Mrs. Zhou quietly and saw that she had no expression on her face, which made her feel a little depressed.
"Sister Zhou knows more about the workshop than I do, so I'll leave you to her." Gu Xiaoyou patted Zhu Cheng's arm and pushed him in front of Mrs. Zhou.
Zhu Cheng stood in front of Zhou in a daze, and Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, come with me."
"Oh." Zhu Cheng responded naively and followed Zhou's side obediently.
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at Zhu Cheng several times, always feeling that he was acting strange today, but his dark face looked either stupid or stunned. She really couldn't tell anything, so she withdrew her gaze out of boredom.
"Sister Zheng, how many isatis roots are there now?"
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and replied: "About seven hundred copies."
"More than seven hundred..." Gu Xiaoyou touched his chin: "Keep them all for me. Once you have saved a thousand copies, pack them up for me. I will take them to the capital."
"Okay, I'll go get ready right now." Mrs. Zheng nodded, bowed and walked towards the warehouse.
Gu Xiaoyou walked around the workshop with her hands behind her back. Seeing the women in each room working in an orderly manner, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.
After all, we lived through the days when mumps was prevalent together, and we can be considered comrades who have fought together.
Gu Xiaoyou patted her cheek gently to drive the sadness out of her mind, took one last look at the workshop, and strode away.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten days passed.
Gu Xiaoyou finally handed over all the business in Qingcheng County, and Zhou also packed her bags and could leave Qingcheng County at any time.
Gu Xiaoyou let the truck transporting Banlangen and the bulky luggage go first, and she chose a sunny day to set off.
In Ruining Hutong, at the entrance of the black painted house.
A carriage stopped in front of the door. Gu Xiaoyou put the last piece of luggage on the carriage and took out a key from his pocket.
"Yang He, my house has been repaired and no one lives in it. If you don't mind it, please take your mother to live in it."
"This is impossible, I can't accept it..." Yang He's delicate face turned red and he shook his head in refusal.
Gu Xiaoyou took his hand and put the key into his hand: "The house is close to the paper shop, so it is convenient for you to commute to and from get off work, and it is also vacant, so you can live here."
Yang He opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Gu Xiaoyou patted the back of his hand gently: "You just look after the house for me, please."
Yang He's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly lowered his head: "Okay, I will take care of the house for you."
"That's right." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and patted his shoulder.
He turned around and looked at Zhu Cheng: "Lao Zhu, do your best. If you have goods sent to the capital, you can drive to see us."
"Okay, I will definitely come to see you." Zhu Cheng said solemnly and glanced at Mr. Zhou who was sitting in the car.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhou was arranging Liang'er's clothes and did not look at him. Zhu Cheng looked away in despair.
"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. Let's go. See you again." Gu Xiaoyou took one last look at the house, waved to Zhu Cheng and Yang He, and stepped onto the carriage without looking back.
"Let's set off."
Boss Liu, who was on the carriage shaft, nodded and raised his whip: "Drive!"
The carriage moved forward slowly, leaving Ruining Hutong and soon exiting Qingcheng County. The road suddenly became much wider, and the carriage rolled forward on the road.
Ancient roads were not as good as modern expressways. Although the road was smooth and smooth, the bumpy terrain caused Gu Xiaoyou to suffer a lot.
The carriage ran over a stone and jolted a few times. Gu Xiaoyou's head almost hit the carriage. He finally managed to steady himself, but there was another bump. Gu Xiaoyou protected his head, but failed to protect his butt, and was thrown down.
Upright.
Gu Xiaoyou rubbed the sore area and complained dissatisfiedly: "Boss Liu, do you know how to drive? You are going to kill me."
Boss Liu said apologetically: "Sorry, Boss Gu, the road near Qingcheng County is a bit broken. It will be fine when we get on the official road."
"How long does it take to get to Guanlu?" Gu Xiaoyou asked hopefully.
"It takes two hours if it's fast, three or four hours if it's slow."
"Three or four hours!" Gu Xiaoyou exaggeratedly shouted: "Heaven is going to kill me!"
Gu Xiaoyou suddenly missed airplanes, high-speed trains and trains. No matter how hard it was, taking a bus was better than taking a horse-drawn carriage.
