Qi Mengmeng thinks the bathroom can be built later, but the toilet needs to be built faster.
Although there is a toilet in the family compound, some family members do not pay attention to hygiene, so she would avoid going there if possible.
When Gu Guizhi was hospitalized, she would wait until she got to the hospital before going to the toilet, but now that she has to stay here for a long time, she must make the house more comfortable.
Gu Guizhi measured the corner with his feet and went to work. He also had to find someone to buy some bricks so that the toilet would be clean.
After Gu Guizhi left, Qi Mengmeng took a backpack and rode her bicycle into the city. She sent the letter to the address given by Gu Guizhi, and then sent the food that had been distributed in advance to the address.
After leaving the post office, Qi Mengmeng went to the department store again. She knew that Li Zhuang and Su Meng were married, so this time she went to the department store to deliver a gift.
A set of four-piece bedding sets is a very prestigious gift.
Su Meng was at work today. She was wearing a pink blouse and her hair was braided into a big braid hanging on one side of her head. She looked very youthful and sunny.
It turns out that married people are different.
Qi Mengmeng walked over, and Su Meng greeted her warmly: "Sister-in-law, you're back? I saved the brightly colored wool you asked for last time. I'll give it to you."
Su Meng took out a paper bag from under the counter. Inside was bright red and goose yellow wool, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at it.
Qi Mengmeng only glanced at it, put it away, and took out the money: "Su Meng, give me the ticket."
Su Meng blinked and whispered, "These have already been issued. They are the matchmaking red envelopes that Li Zhuang and I are giving to my sister-in-law."
Qi Mengmeng just touched it and found that the wool yarn was all pure wool. The two colors together were not cheap, costing dozens of yuan. The red envelopes given by matchmakers nowadays are not that expensive.
Qi Mengmeng roughly estimated the price, took out the money and stuffed it into Su Meng's pocket.
Su Meng pushed back, and Qi Mengmeng held her hand: "I didn't give you a ticket, and you still think I'm taking advantage of you."
Su Meng knew that what she said made sense, and after a moment of hesitation he took the money. The salesperson next to him curled his lips when he saw this.
Qi Mengmeng took out four sets from the basket and placed them on the counter: "We didn't have time to attend your wedding, so these are our gifts to you."
The bright red back immediately attracted the attention of people around. A young wife immediately came over and wanted to touch it.
"This color is really nice, I want it."
Su Meng quickly collected it, and Qi Mengmeng frowned and looked at him: "This is a gift from me, how can you just come up and touch it."
"Are you giving it away as a gift?" The young wife's eyes lit up: "Do you have any left? Give me one set."
Qi Mengmeng had no idea who she was, so she immediately shook her head and said, "No, there's only this set. I brought it back from the capital as a gift."
The young wife's eyes lit up even more. If it came from the capital, it must be a good thing. If her sister got a dowry like this when she got married, it would be so face-saving.
"Give this set to me." The young wife said to Su Meng.
Su Meng frowned: "This is a gift from my sister-in-law."
The young wife looked unhappy. There were not many people who could refuse her. She suppressed her unhappiness and said, "I won't let you give in for nothing. No matter how much money you spent on the ticket, I will give it to you."
After she said this, she winked at Su Meng, meaning that she could give more.
But this thing was just given to her by Qi Mengmeng, how could she give it away immediately? She shook her head like a rattle and firmly disagreed.
The young wife's face looked unhappy, but she did not force the sale, which made Qi Mengmeng have a good impression of her.
It can be seen from the way the young wife dresses that her family is well-off, but she always spoke to Su Meng in a kind voice and did not say anything unpleasant when she was rejected by Su Meng.
If there weren't so many people around, Qi Mengmeng really wanted to say a few words to her young wife and buy her another bed.
But the current situation is that Su Meng is determined not to give it, and the young wife keeps saying nice things to him, and finally Su Meng gets angry.
"This is a wedding gift from my sister-in-law. How could anyone come up and ask to buy it like you do?"
The young wife did not insist any longer, but her eyes looked inside the counter with full reluctance.
Qi Mengmeng didn't feel comfortable talking to Su Meng at the counter anymore, so she said goodbye to Su Meng and went to find Su Mei.
There were fewer people in front of Su Mei's counter. Su Mei was knitting a sweater while talking to her colleague next to her.
Qi Mengmeng walked to her counter and took out a net bag from her backpack, which contained a bag of red dates and a bag of pears.
"Sister Su Mei, I'm back from the capital and came to see you. Give half of this to Su Meng after work."
Qi Mengmeng handed the net bag to Su Mei and smiled shyly: "I brought a set of four-piece bedding sets from Beijing for Su Meng, but I was almost blocked by someone, so I didn't have time to give it to her."
Su Mei took the net bag and said, "Okay, I'll give it to her later. What kind of four-piece suit did you bring for Xiao Meng?"
Qi Mengmeng gestured and said, "It's just a quilt cover, a bed sheet, and two pillowcases, but in more festive colors."
She also pointed at the young wife who had been following her and smiled bitterly: "Did you see the person behind me? She insisted on buying Su Meng's four-piece suit. Su Meng was angry before she left, but I didn't expect her to follow me all the time."
That young wife was really persistent, which made Qi Mengmeng feel helpless.
Su Mei looked in the direction of Qi Mengmeng's hand and paused. She actually knew that person.
"Mengmeng, tell me the truth, do you still have that four-piece set?" Su Mei asked Qi Mengmeng closer and lowered her voice.
"Sister Su Mei, do you know that person?" Qi Mengmeng asked instead of answering.
From her answer, Su Mei knew that she must have something else in her hand.
"Mengmeng, if you have it, please give it to me. I actually know that person. Her father-in-law is an accountant at a machinery factory, and her biological father is the director of another department store."
After hearing the man's background, Qi Mengmeng finally understood why she was so persistent in getting the four-piece set.
"Sister Su Mei, I'll ask about this later and let you know in a couple of days." Qi Mengmeng wanted to sell the four-piece suit, but she didn't think of selling it herself. After all, she was a military wife and she had to be careful.
When Su Mei heard this, she immediately laughed. It seemed like there was hope.
Qi Mengmeng didn't stay any longer. She went to the candy and biscuit counter and bought some cookies and pastries, intending to take them with her to Qi Zhijun's house for dinner in the evening.
She took out a piece of pork belly from the space, added some pears, thought for a while, and then took out a roast chicken.
Qi Mengmeng waited at home for Gu Gui to come back from get off work, and the two of them took their things and went to Qi Zhijun's house together.
Qi Zhijun came to open the door himself. When he saw the two of them, he let them in. His eyes were all smiles as he said, "Mengmeng is back? Come in quickly. You brought something with you. What are you going to bring back home?"
