"Captain Gu is here, come and sit down."
Seeing Gu Chijin, Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling put down the watermelons in their hands and greeted him.
Wang Feng saw Jiang Chen coming in behind Gu Chijin, so he took two pieces of watermelon from the plate and gave one to each of them.
Jiang Chen was thirsty, so he finished his drink in two or three bites, then sat down next to Bai Xiaohua and asked her if she was tired and if she wanted to go back now.
Shi Qi heard the voice, looked up from the account book, and exchanged glances with Gu Chijin, his eyes filled with surprise.
"You guys are here. Sit down for a while. I still have some statistics to collect. We'll go have dinner together later."
Bai Xiaohua, Jiang Ling and the others helped out all day today, and Shi Qi didn't intend to let them go home empty-handed.
I plan to close the store and take them out for a quick meal.
Gu Chijin stared at her face with a smile and said softly:
"You go ahead and do your work. Don't worry. We'll wait for you."
Bai Xiaohua quietly nudged Jiang Ling with his elbow, motioning her to look over there.
During this period, Bai Xiaohua often stayed with Shi Qi, and he also found that Gu Chijin was different from before.
He treated Shi Qi much better.
The couple had a good relationship, and Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling were both happy. They laughed secretly and turned their heads away from looking at them.
Wang Feng didn't open the door all day today. She was so tired that her back and waist ached at Shi Qi's place. Shi Qi called her to have dinner, but she didn't want to go at all.
Besides, they are all a group of young people. They will enjoy the meal, drink and chat later. Why would an old woman like her go along and spoil the mood?
Shi Qi couldn't get Wang Feng to join him in the dinner, and knowing that she didn't want to join the young people's dinner, he could only let her go back first and find an opportunity to invite her alone next time.
Ji Zhang was not around, and Jiang Ling didn't want to go either.
Shi Qi saw her hesitation, thought for a moment and said:
"How about we go to the restaurant, order some food, pack it up and bring it back to the military family compound, and have the kids and Big Brother Ji come over to eat?"
She was tired after a day's work and definitely didn't want to cook when she got home at night. She had said she wanted to invite Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling, so she had to find a way to have this meal.
Gu Chijin had no objection, and neither did Jiang Chen and Bai Xiaohua.
Jiang Ling had even less objection since she could take care of her husband and children.
Shi Qi did it right away. He brought in the flower baskets outside and swept away the firecracker debris scattered on the street.
Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling helped to clean the storefront, while Gu Chijin used his long arms and legs to mop the floor for Shi Qi, finishing it in two or three strokes.
Four or five people quickly packed up, Shiqi closed the door, and went to the restaurant next door to order food.
The three families had dinner together. Shi Qi ordered a wide range of dishes, including some whole fish and braised dishes, as well as three or four stir-fried dishes and a dish of cold-boiled pig ears.
The pig's feet they stewed themselves looked delicious, so they ordered another small bowl.
Drinking ice beer is the most comfortable thing in summer, but department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives don’t sell ice beer.
Shi Qi could only buy some room temperature wine and take it back to the military family compound to make his own wine with well water, which was also chilled.
Finally, they bought a watermelon from an old farmer at the end of the street, and then took the bus back to the military family compound.
The table was set up in the Gu family's yard, so there was no need to worry about the food getting cold in the summer. As soon as the food was served, Ji Zhang brought the children and Jiang Ling.
Gu Chixin was afraid of people to begin with, and when he saw his brother and sister-in-law bringing so many strangers back, he was so scared that he hid in the room and refused to come out.
Gu Chijin explained to Ji Zhang and Jiang Chen. The couple said nothing, but raised their glasses enthusiastically and ate the meat and vegetables happily.
Shi Qi picked out a few pieces of fish and a small bowl of pig's trotters and sent them to Gu Chi's new house.
Seeing the child at a loss, I felt a little distressed:
"Chi Xin, you eat first. If it's not enough, go to the kitchen and get some.
There's no one in the kitchen, so no one can see you."
Shi Qi left the room to entertain the guests for dinner. He was afraid that Gu Chixin would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't say much to him.
Grandpa Gu hadn't touched alcohol for almost half a year. Now when he saw his granddaughter-in-law bought some wine, he secretly had a few drinks.
Being called "uncle" and "uncle" by Jiang Chen and Ji Zhang one after another, Grandpa Gu drank his wine, feeling dizzy and extremely happy.
I feel very happy.
Shi Qi walked out and saw several pieces of fish and pig's trotters in his bowl. He couldn't help but look at Gu Chijin.
Gu Chijin was talking to Jiang Chen and Ji Zhang with a natural expression, as if he didn't notice this at all.
It was not until Shi Qi lowered his head and started eating the fish in the bowl that he glanced over with a smile on his face.
As night falls, the courtyard is filled with stars.
After six or seven people had eaten and drunk their fill, Shi Qi went to the kitchen to take out the watermelon soaked in cold water, cut it, and brought it out on a plate.
Each of them took a piece, and gave one to Jiang Haoyun and Ji Dongdong respectively. Then Shi Qi remembered Gu Chixin in the house, and picked up the biggest piece and brought it into the house.
Seeing the person who used to speak to him in a bad way now giving him delicious food again and again, Gu Chixin’s simple mind couldn’t understand it.
After looking at Shi Qi cautiously, he tentatively took the watermelon in her hand.
The watermelon is bright red with black seeds inside, and it looks very sweet.
Gu Chixin lowered his head and took a bite. He was pleasantly surprised by the sweet juice of the watermelon. His two clean eyes narrowed in satisfaction, like a cute kitten.
Shi Qi chuckled, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his head before stepping back.
The yard is the coolest in summer. After eating watermelon, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The three men had to go to the army early the next morning. Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling held the child, said goodbye to Shi Qi, and went home.
When everyone had left, Shi Qi stood up and cleared the table.
Gu Chijin finished the watermelon in his hand in two bites and came over to take over:
"You go take a shower, I'll do this."
With a push of his arms, he easily picked up a round table. He walked into the house with ease, and Shi Qi followed behind him carrying a few benches.
After entering the house, Gu Chijin went to the kitchen to clean up the pots and pans. Shi Qi stood there and saw that there was nothing she could do, so she boiled some water for a bath.
Shi Qi hadn't washed his hair for two days and his scalp felt itchy, so when he took a shower tonight, he simply washed his head as well.
After washing and changing into pajamas, Shi Qi came out and wiped his hair with a dry towel. Only then did he realize how inconvenient it was to have a hair dryer at home.
When she has enough money, she will definitely find a way to buy a hair dryer.
Otherwise, if you often wash your hair in the middle of the night and don’t dry it, you will get a headache after a long time.
After Gu Chijin washed the pots and pans and put them in the cupboard, he walked out of the kitchen and saw Shi Qi sitting in the living room with half-dry hair, wiping his hair with a towel.
In the light, Gu Chijin saw that her hair was straight and black, as if it had been specially cared for.
In order to make it easier to do things, she has been tying her hair up behind her head during this period.
Not only does it feel cool, but it also makes you look energetic.
At this moment, looking at her with her hair disheveled, her face still flushed from the heat of the shower, and the increasingly bright little mole at the corner of her eye, Gu Chijin's chest swelled.
Seeing him, Shiqi pointed towards the toilet:
"You should go wash up too. It's getting late. Wash up and get some rest."
Gu Chijin lowered his head, not wanting to look at the wet outline of her chest, and said quickly in a muffled voice:
"I see. You should go back to your room and dry your hair."
Most of her clothes on her chest were wet by her wet hair. It would be embarrassing if her grandfather and Chi Xin came out and saw them.
Shi Qi didn't understand what was going on. When he looked down and saw the curve of his chest, his face instantly became hot.
