This time, Jiang Mengxue was prepared. She took motion sickness medicine in advance and also prepared sour foods such as plums to prevent motion sickness.
Gu Qingbei also brought a net bag filled with several kinds of fruits.
When we arrived at the station, the driver helped tie the bicycles and other people's luggage to the roof of the car.
Jiang Mengxue was still sitting in the window seat where she had been when she came back, while Gu Qingbei was sitting outside.
In just a few days, the relationship between the two went from strangers who had only met once to a confirmed romantic relationship.
Jiang Mengxue couldn't help but sigh, it was really as fast as a rocket.
It was almost twelve o'clock when they arrived in the city. The two went straight to the state-owned restaurant. Gu Qingbei asked his brother-in-law Miao Dingwang to cook two dishes and took ten steamed buns.
Jiang Mengxue planned to go back to the hospital in the afternoon to switch shifts with another doctor, otherwise it would be her turn to work on the 1st. She wanted to watch the National Day gala and wondered if any colleagues were willing to switch with her.
When the two returned to the yard, Xu Dashan had already led his men to start working.
Several aunts in the yard were also sewing shoe soles in the yard.
Aunt Liu from next door looked up and saw someone entering the yard, followed by a stranger. "Dr. Xiao Jiang, why are you back so soon? I thought you'd be home for a few days. Who's that man behind you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others also noticed Gu Qingbei who came in after Jiang Mengxue. They looked him up and down, not quite sure about their relationship.
After all, I didn’t have a partner when I went home two days ago. Could it be possible that I could get engaged just two days after returning home?
"His name is Gu Qingbei. He's my boyfriend. My family introduced him to me."
Jiang Mengxue didn't want to hide it, so as to avoid everyone introducing her to potential partners later.
"What? Doctor Jiang is really quick. I didn't expect that he would find a partner after just two days of returning home."
Obviously, no one expected Jiang Mengxue to find a partner so quickly, especially Aunt Cao Li Xiuying who lived next door.
She has always wanted to match Jiang Mengxue with her youngest son, but there has been no progress. She didn't expect that she already has a partner. It's too sudden.
"Doctor Jiang, this is a really good match. She's tall and strong, and she's also good-looking."
Aunt Ma knew at first sight that Dr. Jiang had found a good partner. He had a straight figure and a righteous face, and looked like a soldier. However, soldiers nowadays all wear military uniforms, so he didn't look like one. She didn't feel comfortable asking when they first met.
Jiang Mengxue also smiled and said: "Maybe soldiers are in good shape."
"That's what I was saying. I was saying he looked a bit like a soldier. That's really good."
"Then aunts, let's go in first. I'll go see what the house looks like."
There was a pile of things at the door, bricks, sand and gravel. Several people were working in the house, building a kang in the outer room. The room partition had already been made, and after it dried in the shade, the partition on the second floor could be made.
All the partitions inside the house have been removed, and a scaffolding has been erected inside to build the second floor's floor, and the sewer for the bathroom is also being prepared below.
Jiang Mengxue took Gu Qingbei for a look outside the house and introduced her plans. After all, if they got married, they would both live here in the future, so it was a way to get familiar with each other in advance.
"I plan to connect the entrance corridor to the small courtyard next to it, and then seal off the entire corridor. This way it will be more convenient to store things."
Gu Qingbei's second sister had told him before that Jiang Mengxue's house was being renovated, and it looked really good. It seemed that she planned to add several rooms, and the space would seem much larger.
"This is really nice. Compared to the current housing shortage, it feels much more spacious."
The two of them took a quick look and returned to the room where Jiang Mengxue was currently living. The bedding on the kang had not been tidied up yet, so they simply cleared the dining table. Jiang Mengxue planned to deal with the rest at night. Anyway, she would not be staying there for long, so she only needed to pack up the daily necessities and pile the rest in a corner.
There was a bowl of chicken soup for lunch. They brought it back directly in a casserole, and it was still warm. I have to say that Gu Qingbei’s brother-in-law is really good at cooking. Jiang Mengxue drank several bowls of soup alone.
"I was planning to ask my second sister to help me look for a house. I'm thinking of buying a place with its own door and yard. It would be more convenient than living in a large compound where everyone would be watching you every day. But I'm worried it's unsafe for you to live alone. So should we still buy it?"
Jiang Mengxue had thought about buying a house with its own house before, but then she thought that she had no roots here and didn't know many people, so she would have no one to help her with any problems.
This is no longer the time to live your own life behind closed doors. If you really dare to be alone, and someone with ulterior motives notices you and reports you, thinking you are a spy, you will be left with nothing but tears.
Although there is no need to worry about this problem with Gu Qingbei, after all, no one dares to suspect the family of a soldier.
"I've already bought this house and have already started renovating it. Wouldn't it be too much trouble to move now? Besides, this house cost just over 300 yuan when I bought it, plus another 300 yuan for renovations. Not many people can directly spend 600 or 700 yuan to buy a house. After all, the company will allocate housing to them, so it's only a matter of time.
