Xu Qiang clearly wanted to create an opportunity for Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi to be alone.
"Why don't you go pick out some furniture with me sometime? You don't have enough stuff in that house."
Meng Xunzhou thought that after Song Shishi bought a house, she had no time to decorate the new house, so she couldn't move. He thought of taking Song Shishi to see furniture first.
In the past, when he spent money on Song Shishi, he could only say that he was lending it to her. Now that they have established a relationship, he certainly doesn't have to worry so much anymore.
If he hadn't been afraid that Song Shishi wouldn't like the things he bought, he would have decorated the house long ago.
"I don't have the money to buy one for now, but I received a cabinet from Huaiqing that I can use as a makeshift."
Song Shishi remembered that the cabinet was the one she ordered from Carpenter Zhao on her first day in Huaiqing.
Because she thought it had commemorative significance, she took the cabinet with her when she left.
"I fixed the smoke problem last time. I've been busy these past two days and don't have time to go again. Next time I'll buy some new tiles and fix your roof again."
...
...
Roof? The last time she went to the house, Song Shishi didn't notice the problem with the roof.
Sure enough, some things still have to be done by men.
With Meng Xunzhou around, Song Shishi saved a lot of energy.
"Are you free tomorrow? I'll go take a look after get off work. I won't buy furniture for now. As long as I can live in it and it doesn't affect my life, that's fine."
At most, it would be just her and Xu Li who would live there.
Li Haoyang has been living in the compound recently, so she and Xu Li will definitely not move. They will wait until Li Haoyang returns before moving.
As for Meng Xunzhou, Song Shishi had already accepted his feelings and agreed to be with him.
She will take this relationship seriously.
She hopes that both she and Meng Xunzhou can develop in a good direction, rather than letting Meng Xunzhou just give blindly.
Feelings should be mutual, not one-sided.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll pick you up when you get off work in the evening."
Although Meng Xunzhou may have many ideas, as long as it is Song Shishi's wish, he will choose to respect it.
"good."
They also think that they are already used to each other being around, so even if the two of them are really together now, they get along very naturally.
Song Shishi put her arm around Meng Xunzhou's waist. Although the wind was cold, her heart was warm.
"Yeah! Brother Qiang, I won, I won."
Meng Xiaoqi's cheers came from afar.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask for?" Xu Qiang looked back and asked with a smile.
Meng Xiaoqi raised her chin proudly, "I hope we can go out and play together during the summer vacation this year. I haven't been out of Beijing yet."
"Aunt Qiqi, you can come to my house to play. My house is so much fun. I'll ask mom to buy you delicious food."
Seeing that everyone was laughing, Li Haoyang also laughed, and at the same time took the initiative to invite Meng Xiaoqi to his house to play.
"Really? That's great."
As long as they leave Beijing, Meng Xiaoqi doesn't care where they go.
Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi also followed at this time.
"It's too late, let's go back quickly."
After Meng Xunzhou finished speaking, he looked at Meng Xiaoqi and said, "Only if you do well in the final exam will our mother agree to let you go out, so it's useless even if Qiangzi agrees to your request."
Xu Qiang scratched his head in embarrassment.
Xu Qiang has a good relationship with Meng Xunzhou. He has also dealt with Fu Shuxian and has seen with his own eyes how Fu Shuxian manages Meng Xiaoqi's studies.
So when Xu Qiang heard Meng Xiaoqi's request just now, he did not agree immediately.
Meng Xiaoqi pouted in grievance and didn't respond.
Although it was already late when they returned to the compound, Meng Xunzhou and Xu Qiang had things to do in the army the next morning, so after sending Song Shishi and the others back, the two of them changed to a car and drove back to the army.
On the way, Xu Qiang drove the car. After holding back for a long time, he finally asked, "Boss, did anything good happen to you at the Lantern Festival today?"
"Um."
From the moment Song Shishi agreed to him, Meng Xunzhou's smile has never been frowned.
Xu Qiang turned his head to glance at Meng Xunzhou, and suddenly an incredible idea popped up in his mind.
"Boss, did you receive another gift from Comrade Song?"
Meng Xunzhou frowned slightly and looked at Xu Qiang in confusion.
Xu Qiang looked ahead, not noticing the change in Meng Xunzhou's expression, and continued, "The last time you received the scarf knitted by Comrade Song, you looked just like now, with the pride and happiness on your face, unconcealed, and it made people jealous."
"If you really want to be jealous, go find yourself a wife. I remember the battalion commander said last time that he would introduce one to you. If you're in a hurry, I'll talk to the battalion commander for you."
Meng Xunzhou spoke slowly, and although his tone did not hold any intimidation, his words made Xu Qiang break out in a cold sweat.
"No, no, no, Boss, I was wrong. I'm not jealous. I wish you and sister-in-law a happy marriage."
Last time, the battalion commander said he wanted to introduce a girl to Xu Qiang, but when the girl heard that Xu Qiang had no parents and was from the countryside, she started to mock him.
This incident made Xu Qiang start to dislike blind dates.
The word "sister-in-law" immediately pleased Meng Xunzhou.
…
The next day, Song Shishi went to work, and He Xiangzhe and Mo Mingfei were all as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Although Mo Mingfei knew the reason why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a different attitude towards Song Shishi, he still felt somewhat unconvinced.
But their influence is insignificant and they are powerless to change anything.
He Xiangzhe had no idea what Mo Mingfei talked about in Xie Yushan's office.
He just thought that Mo Mingfei was incompetent. He gave him a chance but nothing happened. Song Shishi was even unaware of it.
But given He Xiangzhe's character, he would never do anything to offend others in public.
Even if he wanted to take action, He Xiangzhe would not give others the opportunity to catch him.
Xie Youan looked at Song Shishi from time to time. He always felt that Song Shishi was a little different today, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Song Shishi was so focused on her work that she didn't notice that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange.
After finally waiting until the end of get off work, Xie Youan stood up and was about to talk to Song Shishi, but he saw Song Shishi leaving with her bag.
He walked to the window and soon spotted the familiar car parked at the gate.
Xie Youan frowned, turned and walked towards Xie Yushan's office.
As soon as he opened the door of Xie Yushan's office, Xie Youan frowned and asked, "Dad, didn't you promise to help me last time? If you don't take action, someone will kidnap her."
Xie Yushan frowned and put the cap back on the pen in his hand. "Focus on your work. If you can't do it, there are many people who will do it."
"Of course I care about work, but do you not care about your son's lifelong happiness?"
Xie Youan was a little depressed.
What's wrong with this old man?
His attitude was quite good last time I talked to him about Song Shishi. Why did he completely change today?
"Comrade Song, don't even think about it. I asked Old Song, and his daughter has had a childhood sweetheart since she was a child. We in the Xie family will never do anything to destroy other people's feelings."
Xie Yushan's attitude was very firm.
"What's wrong with child marriage?" Xie Youan didn't care about it at all.
