Qi Mengmeng asked Gu Guizhi if he wanted to do some more, but Gu Guizhi shook his head: "I'm full."
Gu Guizhi even deliberately puffed out his stomach: "I'm really full."
Qi Mengmeng couldn't help laughing when she didn't expect Gu Guizhi to be so cute.
Gu Guizhi's ears felt a little hot, and he hurried to collect the dishes: "I'll go wash the dishes."
Qi Mengmeng let him go out. She cooked and he washed the dishes. It was very fair.
After washing the dishes, Gu Guizhi started to boil water. It was inconvenient at the guesthouse yesterday, and today when he returned home, he knew that Qi Mengmeng would definitely take a shower.
Qi Mengmeng watched him busy sorting out the things he brought back, and the atmosphere was very warm.
The situation next door is the opposite of theirs, very tense.
Li Lai Di brought Aunt Xu and Pan Di into the house. Xu Weiwei threw herself into Aunt Xu's arms and said, "Grandma, you came to see me. I missed you."
Aunt Xu couldn't stop laughing, but she still gently pushed Xu Weiwei away: "Weiwei, grandma has been sitting on the train for a long time, and her body stinks. I will come to hug you after I clean myself up."
Xu Weiwei obediently sat next to her and looked at Li Pandi again.
Li Lai Di pushed Li Pan Di and said, "Pan Di, help me look after Wei Wei. I'm going to cook."
She looked at Xu Weiwei again: "This is my second aunt, have you forgotten?"
Xu Weiwei tilted her head and called out, "Second Aunt."
Li Pandi responded hesitantly.
Aunt Xu sighed and said to Li Lai Di, "I'll go with you to cook, and let Pan Di look after Wei Wei."
Li Lai Di wanted to say no, but Aunt Xu gave her a look, and she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. The two of them went to the kitchen together.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Li Lai Di couldn't wait to close the door and asked anxiously, "Mom, what happened to Pan Di?"
Aunt Xu frowned tightly and lowered her voice, "Pandi is eighteen this year. Your mother married her to Lai Quezi's family in the neighboring village."
"What?" Li Lai Di covered her mouth tightly, fearing that her voice would be too loud. "How dare my mother? Doesn't she know that Lai Quezi beat people?"
"Lai Quezi gave your mother 80 yuan as a betrothal gift." Aunt Xu didn't know what to say to her relative-in-law.
That's not marrying a daughter, it's simply selling a daughter.
"Pandi ran away from the marriage?" Li Lai Di thought it was impossible. Pandi was not that bold, and her mother would not allow it.
"Alas, I don't know whether Pandi's life is good or bad." Aunt Xu sighed again and told the story of Li Pandi again.
On the first day Li Pandi married into Lai Quezi's house, Lai Quezi went out to gamble and then died at the gambling table.
Lai Quezi's family has already split up, but Lai Quezi's original wife left behind a son. Lai Quezi's eldest brother asked Li Panddy to return the betrothal money, saying that they could raise Lai Quezi's son but not Li Panddy.
Li Pandi was still a grown-up girl, and when she heard that she could go home, she went back immediately, but her mother refused to give her money.
In the end, Li Pandi stole the money and gave it to Lai Quezi's brother, saying that if her mother married her off again, she would not live.
In fact, she really cut her wrists, but the sickle she used was a bit blunt, so she was rescued.
In the end, Aunt Xu couldn't stand it anymore and suggested sending Li Pandi to the army. She was still a grown-up girl and should be able to find a partner in the army.
Li Pandi was trying to commit suicide at home, and her mother was afraid that she would really die and lose both her money and her life, so she agreed to let Li Pandi come over. However, she required Li Pandi to get married within three months at most, and to bring home a betrothal gift, which must not be less than eighty yuan.
Aunt Xu knew that this was a high request, but Li Pandi agreed immediately and said that after giving the betrothal gift, they would not be able to contact Li Pandi anymore.
Li's parents would definitely not be happy about this, as they were thinking of asking their sisters to help raise their son.
Li Pandi said that if she didn't agree, she would die and drag her whole family with her. Only then did Li's mother let her go.
After listening to what Aunt Xu said, Li Laidie gritted her teeth and made a clattering sound.
"Your mother has that kind of temper. It's useless for you to get angry. The key now is that you have to find a partner for Pan Di in the army. Pan Di has also agreed to your mother giving her 80 yuan as a betrothal gift."
After saying this, Aunt Xu wanted to sigh again. Li Pandidi was just pretty. She was very different from Li Laidi. She had never been to school and just learned a few words from Li Laidi.
Although Li Pandi works efficiently, nowadays girls, except those from particularly wealthy families, have no problem working.
Li Lai Di was also a little angry when she heard this, but she guessed that if Pan Di did not accept her mother's conditions at that time, Pan Di would definitely not be able to leave.
Eighty dollars, at worst their family can help out a little.
Aunt Xu guessed what Li Laidie was thinking from her expression. Although she was not very happy, she didn't say anything. She couldn't just watch Li Pandi die.
"Mom, let me make you some dumpling soup. That will be quick."
After the matter was discussed, Li Lai Di thought about arranging meals for the two of them.
"No need. We still have buns in our bag. You can heat them up. We just need some hot water." Aunt Xu went to get the buns.
Li Lai Di took the buns and put them on the pan to heat them up, then asked, "Did you buy these buns on the train?"
Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "This was bought by the police station staff. Comrade Gu and his wife across the street didn't want it, so they gave it all to us."
Aunt Xu told Li Lai Di what happened on the train again. Li Lai Di was stunned and murmured, "Mom, this is all thanks to Meng Meng."
"That's right, Mengmeng is a good girl, and her husband is also good." Aunt Xu said this before asking about Xu Daming.
Li Laidi said that Xu Daming was out on a mission these days.
Aunt Xu sighed: "I wonder if I will get hurt this time?"
Li Lai Di didn't know about this. Xu Daming was a soldier and that was their job.
Li Laidie made another egg soup and served a bowl to Aunt Xu and Li Pandie respectively.
Li Pandi took the egg soup and gave it to Xu Weiwei to drink first. Li Laidi said there was no need to give it to Xu Weiwei as she had already eaten.
Aunt Xu had been with Li Pandi for a few days and had figured out her personality. She handed a bun to Li Pandi and said, "Pandi, eat the bun. It will go bad if you don't eat it."
Li Pandi took the bun without saying a word and ate it slowly. However, she gave all the eggs in the egg soup to Xu Weiwei and only drank the soup herself.
Seeing this, Li Lai Di wanted to take Xu Weiwei to bed. Aunt Xu said that she hadn't seen her granddaughter for a long time and wanted to kiss Xu Weiwei. In fact, she wanted the two sisters to talk at night.
Xu Weiwei also obediently snuggled into Aunt Xu's arms, saying that she liked her grandma. Aunt Xu was so happy that she wanted to feed her eggs. Li Laidie quickly took Xu Weiwei away and went to get a quilt for Aunt Xu.
After Aunt Xu and Li Pandi finished their meal and washed up, the two sisters sat on the bed.
Li Laidi looked at the old and torn clothes on Li Pandi, went to the closet and took out one of her own clothes and handed it to her: "Pan'er, tell me, what do you think?"
