Gu Guizhi has never been picky about food. He looked at what Qi Mengmeng took out and finally chose dumplings.

This afternoon, Qi Mengmeng had finished all the malted milk in the kettle, and Gu Guizhi took the kettle and lunch box to get hot water.

The dumplings will heat up quickly after soaking in hot water, just like soup dumplings. Then put the omelet on top of the lunch box. Just wait a while and you can eat them together.

Qi Mengmeng could not eat any more dumplings after eating just a few of them. She rolled the pickles into an omelet and ate one omelet. The rest of the dumplings went into Gu Guizhi's stomach.

Qi Mengmeng was afraid that Gu Guizhi was not full, so she soaked a box of dumplings in hot water for Gu Guizhi to eat.

The others were a little confused when they saw Qi Mengmeng taking out box after box of dumplings. Did the price of white flour drop? Or was this little girl from a wealthy family? She actually brought so many white flour dumplings, which seemed to be filled with meat.

You can tell from the color of the omelet that it is made of pure white flour and quite a few eggs.

People who ride in hard sleepers these days have good conditions, but most people are envious when they see Qi Mengmeng eating fruits and malted milk, and taking out fine grains.

But Gu Guizhi's face was so cold that no one else dared to say anything.

After Qi Mengmeng finished eating, Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to sleep on the upper bunk for a while, and he would call her when they arrived.

It was already dark outside and most of the lights in the hard sleeper car were turned off. Everyone subconsciously became much quieter. Qi Mengmeng nodded, climbed onto the upper bunk, and slowly closed her eyes.

In a daze, Gu Guizhi called her: "Mengmeng, wake up, we're almost at the station."

Qi Mengmeng opened her eyes and was about to stand up, but Gu Guizhi pulled her back. Then she realized that they were on a train and if she stood up too fast she would hit her head.

She climbed down slowly and put on her shoes. Gu Guizhi handed her the kettle and said, "Drink some water and you will be sober."

Qi Mengmeng yawned and looked around. It was quiet and most people were sleeping.

"The conductor just called us and said we'll arrive in five minutes." Gu Guizhi had already put all their belongings into the bag.

Qi Mengmeng slowly drank a few sips of water and became a little more sober. Gu Guizhi also put the kettle into the bag. Qi Mengmeng looked around and there was nothing left.

Gu Guizhi took her to the connection between the carriages, and when the train arrived, they were the first group of passengers to get off.

Qi Mengmeng was held hand by Gu Guizhi as she got off the train. She took a breath of cold air and instantly felt sober.

As expected, the wind is the coldest in the early morning.

Gu Guizhi was carrying a bag, but he still had one hand free to lead Qi Mengmeng, and the two of them slowly walked out of the station.

Outside the station, someone shouted, "Deputy Captain Gu."

Gu Guizhi immediately looked in that direction and saw Yang Zhitao.

Yang Zhitao ran a few steps over here, walked closer, and took the bag from Gu Guizhi's hand: "Deputy Captain Gu, I'm here to pick you up."

Gu Guizhi handed him a bag and asked, "Why are you here to pick us up?"

"Didn't I happen to be there when Captain Qi went to borrow a car? I took the initiative to ask to come." Yang Zhitao nodded at Qi Mengmeng and called her sister-in-law.

Qi Mengmeng opened her mouth but didn't respond. She called Ye Tao sister and Yang Zhitao called her sister-in-law. What kind of generation difference are these?

Neither Gu Guizhi nor Yang Zhitao noticed Qi Mengmeng's expression. Gu Guizhi handed the bag in his hand to Yang Zhitao and asked him to stay with Qi Mengmeng and wait here for a while while he still had to go get the checked luggage.

"My car is over there. Let my sister-in-law wait in the car?" Yang Zhitao pointed in the direction of the car.

"Okay." Gu Guizhi nodded, took the bag from Yang Zhitao, and the three of them walked into the car together.

"Your parents asked us to bring some things and we will give them to you when we get home." Gu Guizhi said to Yang Zhitao.

Yang Zhitao didn't know about this yet. He heard from Ye Tao that his family and Qi Mengmeng's were neighbors, but he didn't expect his own parents to be so friendly.

When he saw the huge package that Gu Guizhi was holding, his face twitched: "Is this something my parents brought for me?"

"No, these are ours. The box your parents asked us to take is in it. We'll give it to you when we get back." Gu Guizhi was carrying two packages, and Yang Zhitao was also carrying one.

After putting down a few bags, there was only a narrow seat left in the back of the jeep, just enough for Mengmeng to sit.

Yang Zhitao felt that next time he picked up Gu Guizhi, he should drive the army’s truck to ensure that there was space for his belongings.

The jeep drove all the way to the gate of the family compound. The soldier standing guard at the gate looked at the packages that Gu Guizhi and Yang Zhitao were holding, and his expression changed.

He asked Gu Guizhi if he wanted to call a few people to help him move things?

Gu Guizhi said no need, he and Yang Zhitao could move it.

Yang Zhitao: ...Is it possible that I can’t move?

But no matter what he thought, Yang Zhitao still helped Gu Guizhi move his things back, and then took the small box prepared for him by his parents to return the car.

Qi Mengmeng looked at the various bags that occupied half of the kang. She also felt that she had brought back too many things, and she didn't know what was inside.

Gu Guizhi went to light a fire and heat the kang. After Qi Mengmeng got a little warmer, she took off her coat, washed her hands, and started to prepare to unpack.

While opening the package, Qi Mengmeng wondered if this was the same feeling as opening a package in modern times. She couldn't wait even a second longer.

When Gu Guizhi returned to the room, he was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you sleepy?"

Qi Mengmeng shook her head: "Today is the first day of the new year. What if someone comes to visit during the day? Should I pack up my things first?"

Gu Guizhi was also about to help clean up, but Qi Mengmeng quickly stopped him.

What a joke. Who likes to ask others to help open the express? She doesn’t like it anyway. She likes to pack it up slowly by herself.

So, Gu Guizhi stood by and watched Qi Mengmeng open one bag after another, take out the things everyone had prepared for them, and put them away one by one in different categories.

Some canned food, milk powder, snacks and biscuits were placed in the cupboard.

The braised pork, pig's trotters and other dishes made by Qi Huilan were all placed in the kitchen.

…

Qi Mengmeng took the things out and started to instruct Gu Guizhi to put them back.

After about an hour, only two bags were left on the kang.

One is the handbag given by Qi Huilan. Just looking at the quality of the bag, you can tell it’s not cheap.

The other one was in the big bag given by Mr. Feng, packed in a military schoolbag.

Qi Mengmeng first opened the military backpack given by Mr. Feng. Inside were various bills, including food bills, cloth bills, non-staple food bills, and even soap bills, and they were all national bills.

These bills added together are equivalent to two or three months of Gu Guizhi's bills. Looking at the dates on them, they are not due soon, so we know that Mr. Feng must have exchanged them in advance.

It seems that Mr. Feng was worried that Qi Mengmeng didn't have enough bills, so he exchanged them specially.

Qi Mengmeng counted them, put the bills back, and then opened the bag given to her by Qi Huilan.
