Chapter 143 Looking at him with eyes full of admiration
When Governor Xu heard this, he was disappointed.
Alas, I only looked at the flow of funds in other people's banks, and didn't think that there was also the principal that they had to pay.
Xu Erlong patted his chest and said: "However, it is our people's unshirkable responsibility to support national construction. Without a country, how can there be a family? Without a strong country, how can there be a rich people? If the people have faith, the country has strength... Don't worry,
When I have more funds and can easily circulate them, I will definitely subscribe for treasury bills."
Xu Xingchang's heart lifted and fell again, fell and lifted again, from hope to disappointment, and from disappointment to hope.
Look, Comrade Xu Erlong’s ideological consciousness is different. The slogan he shouted is quite loud, but why don’t he seem to have heard it?
However, now is not the time to worry about this. Comrade Xu Erlong has already stated that he will subscribe for treasury bills.
President Xu held Xu Erlong's hand and shook it excitedly: "Comrade Xu Erlong, thank you very much. Thank you for your contribution to the country's construction. I would like to ask, how much do you plan to subscribe?"
This determines the amount and he can save some worry.
Every bank has its own quota.
"Definitely not less than this number." Xu Erlong raised his palm and waved it.
He did not specify how much this was.
"How much?" asked Mr. Xu.
Xu Erlong laughed: "It would be boring to explain this too clearly. If I don't reach this amount of funds by then, I will be embarrassed, so... haha... it's good for everyone to know what's going on."
This sentence was so vague that Governor Xu didn't know exactly how much he could subscribe for.
However, speak and listen.
President Xu secretly guessed that his daily capital turnover was thousands. He gestured with his palms just now. Could it be that he wanted to subscribe for five thousand?
Thinking of this, President Xu became excited. This was really a big deal.
"Comrade Xu Erlong, on behalf of all the employees of the bank, I thank you." President Xu held Xu Erlong's hand again: "Your support for me is equivalent to supporting the entire bank, and even more so, supporting the construction of the entire country."
"Serious words, serious words." Xu Erlong kept being modest.
Wen Ye was on the side, watching with wide eyes.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong had such a noble spirit. She looked at Xu Erlong with full admiration.
When leaving, President Xu personally escorted Xu Erlong to the gate.
It looked like Xu Erlong was some kind of big backer.
Alas, who makes this treasury bond task so difficult to complete? Each unit has its own target tasks. President Xu has no way to assign it to other units, so he can only make decisions among depositors.
The two came out of the bank, and Wen Ye planned to visit Zhang Jinfang.
"What, are you planning to please your future mother-in-law?" Xu Erlong teased.
Wen Ye lowered his head shyly, his face red.
"When you come to the county town, it would be disrespectful not to visit her." She whispered, as loud as a gnat.
"Okay, I'll take you to meet your future mother-in-law." Xu Erlong smiled and pulled Wen Ye over.
The two of them returned to the guest house together.
Zhang Jinfang is still tinkering with the sewing machine.
Since Xu Erlong was rated as a household worth ten thousand yuan and received this sewing machine, Zhang Jinfang felt as if she had found a treasure.
These days, three turns and one beep is a very advanced thing.
Especially this sewing machine is much more popular than watches in families.
Three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending.
I use a sewing machine too much to sew and mend.
Zhang Jinfang had never even seen a sewing machine before, let alone touched it.
I sent this to her, but she still doesn’t know how to use it.
Even if the ladies at the guest house talked to her about it, she only understood the theory of operation.
When it comes to actually getting started, it's really a rush.
The foot pedal looks very simple. When working, step on the foot pedal, and the crank will drive the pulley to rotate, and the belt will drive the machine head to rotate.
But Zhang Jinfang stepped up and stepped on the pedal in the same way, but the crank never cooperated.
Sometimes forward, sometimes backward.
Zhang Jinfang was sweating profusely.
When Xu Erlong and Wen Ye came in, they saw Zhang Jinfang pointing at the sewing machine and scolding: "You, why are you so disobedient? You are worse than Xu Erlong when he was a child. If you are told to go forward, you have to go backward. If you are told to go backward, you
To move forward..."
Xu Erlong was speechless, who are you scolding?
Wen Ye chuckled and glanced at Xu Erlong.
Zhang Jinfang turned around and saw Xu Erlong coming back with someone, and got up hurriedly.
I felt that the way I was cursing just now was not good for others to see.
It was especially unpleasant to be seen by the future daughter-in-law, who thought she was speaking ill of her son.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" Zhang Jinfang scolded Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong said: "Mom, it turns out that you were scolding me secretly at home?"
"No, no, I was just scolding the sewing machine." How could Zhang Jinfang say that she was scolding her son.
She pointed to the sewing machine: "This pedal doesn't work."
Wen Ye bit his lower lip lightly, trying to suppress his laughter.
She said seriously: "Auntie, stepping on a sewing machine also requires some skills."
She walked over, stood in front of the sewing machine, pointed to the sewing machine pedal and said: "When we step on this, we need to pay attention to the inertia. Come on, sit on it and try this."
Under her guidance, Zhang Jinfang sat on the bench in front of the sewing machine again and stepped on the foot pedal carefully.
Once, once, and again.
"Hey, I really don't step back anymore." Zhang Jinfang said in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crank turned back again.
"Auntie, you are just starting out and are not very proficient. As long as you practice this skill more often, practice will make you perfect soon," Wen Ye said.
Zhang Jinfang slowed down the pace and stepped on the pedal slowly.
Although the movement is slow, the sewing machine really slowly becomes obedient.
Zhang Jinfang was overjoyed and said to Wen Ye, "Thank you so much. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to master such a trick and would still be messing around."
Under Wen Ye's guidance, Zhang Jinfang threaded the sewing machine. Instead of stepping on the empty thread, she took an old piece of clothing that she no longer wore, cut it into an insole shape, and used the sewing machine to thread the thread in circles.
A sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously in Zhang Jinfang's heart.
Ever since she moved to the guest house with Xu Erlong, she has been in a semi-idle state.
The daily routine is to go out to buy groceries, cook and do laundry for Xu Xiaoling and Xu Erlong.
Compared to the days when I was so busy in the Xu family, I really have too much free time now.
She even thought that if she became familiar with using it in the future, she could set up a stall outside to sew clothes for people, so as not to be busy at home.
While joking, Xu Xiaoling came back from school.
Zhang Jinfang suddenly realized that time had passed so long without even realizing it, and it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
"Mom." Xu Xiaoling came in and called her mom first as a habit.
Immediately, she saw a beautiful girl in her home.
Even though she didn't say anything, Xu Xiaoling was sensitively aware that this was probably her future sister-in-law.
