Chapter 12 Qibao is not full
Ever since Han Wenzhi and his wife stuffed things into the cracks between the rocks in their yard, he had the idea of sprucing up the yard.
The fence is low and can't block the view, so any little disturbance in the house can't hide the secrets.
Especially their little Qibao is different from ordinary people.
There should be a big wall around the courtyard, and once the gate is closed, no one can see anything from outside.
"Of course it would be great to build a courtyard wall, but will the team allow it?" Su Mingmei's eyes lit up when she heard about building a courtyard wall.
What her husband thinks is naturally what she thinks.
"Of course the team allows it, but we have to pay for building the wall ourselves. Besides, Qibao is growing up and he will definitely need his own room in the future. Why not take the opportunity of building the wall to build Qibao's room in advance?" Gu Jianguo suggested.
When she heard that they were going to renovate her room, Gu Qiqi immediately perked up and stared at her parents with sparkling eyes.
[That’s right, if I have my own room, my parents will be able to give me brothers and sisters.]
Gu Jianguo and Su Mingmei both froze when they heard this, and a slight blush crept up their ears.
Fortunately, I have been busy these days and have not thought about having a baby at all.
Otherwise, if the smart little Qibao heard it, they would be embarrassed.
Build, must build!
Gu Jianguo waved his hand, wishing he could finish building his daughter's room right away...
It just so happened that the yard next door also needed to build a wall, so Gu Jianguo didn’t even have to go to the brick factory. He just reported how many bricks were needed and the troops would bring them back.
Gu Jianguo took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew on it.
The small bungalow they live in now has three rooms connected, with the main room in the middle and one-third of the space behind it being used as a kitchen.
The large hall on the left was divided into two halves: the front room was the couple's room, and the back was the study.
The large room on the right was also divided into two halves, one half was where Gu Jinze lived, and the other half was where the two brothers Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan lived.
Gu Jianguo writes and draws, but no matter how he adjusts it, it's not suitable.
Finally, he slapped his forehead and decided to move the kitchen to the yard. The original kitchen location was used as a study, and the study room made of vines could be used as Qibao's boudoir.
In this way, you only need to tear down the kitchen and paint it. The study is quite clean and doesn’t even need to be painted. You just need to add a few pieces of furniture.
After everything was arranged, Gu Jianguo drew a spot for the kitchen in a corner of the yard.
Gu Qiqi, who was held in Su Mingmei's arms, poked her little head out and watched with great interest.
Maybe the house next door is in a hurry to be occupied.
The next morning, a large truck pulled into the yard carrying a full load of bricks.
Along with the truckload of bricks came a dozen or so workers.
Upon hearing that Gu Jianguo was planning to build a separate kitchen in the yard, Engineer Zhang, who was in charge of the yard next door, decided to build both kitchens together.
A dozen workers, plus Gu Jianguo's soldiers who volunteered to help, a total of more than 30 people, worked enthusiastically.
The courtyard, which had always been quiet, suddenly became lively with the addition of these people.
All Gu Qiqi did was eat and sleep, and no matter how loud the noise outside was, it could not affect her sleep.
There is strength in numbers, and in just a few days, the courtyards on both sides were built.
Gu Jianguo also used the extra bricks to renovate the dry toilet in the yard.
The original kitchen was demolished and white lime was applied. After it dried, the things in the study were moved in.
The courtyard wall was built more than two meters high, and broken glass pieces were inserted on the top to maximize safety.
Gu Qiqi was quite satisfied with the new yard. Once the gate was closed, nothing could be seen outside.
The day after the yard was built, Gu Jianguo invited a carpenter to come.
He gestured and measured in the study and then left.
Since it is going to be my daughter's boudoir, necessary furniture such as a bed and a wardrobe are of course indispensable.
That day, Su Mingmei was sitting in the main room sewing clothes for her daughter. People were coming in and out of the next room, apparently moving things in.
Su Mingmei glanced at her daughter who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, gave up the idea of visiting the next door, and continued with the needlework in her hands.
As the weather gradually got colder, Qibao's clothes became smaller.
During this period, Gu Qiqi's head grew very fast, changing almost every day. His little face became visibly rounder, and he no longer looked skinny as before.
Gu Qiqi has grown fatter and rounder, with fair skin, a rosy little face, and a pair of big watery eyes that are black and bright, making everyone like her.
Su Mingmei never gets tired of watching it even if she watches it a hundred times every day.
Among the pile of bills that the leader gave to Gu Jianguo as compensation, many were cloth coupons.
Su Mingmei was waiting for the day when she could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange some beautiful fine cotton cloth to make clothes for her daughter.
The first three were all brats, and the clothes they left behind were not suitable for Qibao to wear.
Besides, my husband said that no matter who I treat, I should never treat his precious daughter unfairly.
If it weren’t for Qibao, their whole family would have been sent down to the farm. How could they have the good life they have today?
As a contributor to their family, the precious daughter should be pampered.
When Gu Qiqi woke up, she met her mother's doting eyes. She was no longer surprised.
She turned over, blew some bubbles from her mouth, and then fell asleep.
In the evening, Gu Jianguo returned home and started chatting with Su Mingmei.
The appointment of the head of the Seventh Regiment has been made.
It was not him, nor anyone he knew, but someone who parachuted in directly from Beijing.
He had never met the new leader in person, he only knew that the new leader's surname was Xiao, and his name was Xiao Yi.
"No wonder there was a noise next door today. It turns out that this house was prepared for the new team leader." Su Mingmei murmured.
The repairs had already started before anyone arrived at the yard. This Captain Xiao who came from Beijing must be no simple person.
"From now on, our two families will be neighbors, so we'll have to visit each other frequently. Wife, you can prepare some gifts for the new meeting. We're neighbors, so it doesn't have to be too expensive, just a token of our thoughtfulness." Gu Jianguo reminded Su Mingmei.
Su Mingmei nodded in agreement, but she was thinking about what to give as a gift.
You need something that doesn’t look expensive but shows your thoughtfulness.
Gu Qiqi in the cradle looked helpless.
[I'm so hungry, when will my mom remember to feed me? ]
Every time she woke up, Su Mingmei would feed her in time.
But today her father came back and chatted with her mother, so Su Mingmei forgot about breastfeeding.
"Look at my brain. Nothing is more important than my Qibao drinking milk. I'll feed Qibao first." Su Mingmei was startled and picked up Gu Qiqi in the cradle with a guilty look on her face. "My dear girl, mom will feed you milk now."
Gu Qiqi had slept for the whole day and was really hungry, so she started to suck the food vigorously.
As a result, after a while, Gu Qiqi's face frowned again.
[Hmm, I’m so hungry. I’m not full! ]
Su Mingmei was anxious: "What should I do? Qibao has a big appetite now, and my milk is not enough for her to eat!"
"Don't worry, I'll go ask who has milk powder and have a bite first." Gu Jianguo said as he prepared to walk out the door.
