Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng sent everyone away, and then they went back to the house together.
Things were still scattered on the table in the room, and Gu Guizhi immediately started to clean them up.
Qi Mengmeng was about to take action when Gu Guizhi stopped her: "Didn't you say you prepared crispy fish for Dad? I'll clean up the house, you go and deliver it."
Originally, I planned to let Gu Guizhi deliver it before dinner, but when Gu Guizhi came back with his comrades, I never found a chance. Now it is not too late, so it is a good time to deliver it.
Qi Mengmeng had worked all day and was already a little tired. Since Gu Guizhi said so, she didn't refuse and went to the kitchen to get two lunch boxes and went out.
Gu Gui's family is having a dinner party today. Xu Meili heard about it from others and thought Qi Mengmeng would invite Qi Zhijun. Unexpectedly, Qi Zhijun came back for dinner after work.
She thought Qi Mengmeng was deliberately not clearing up Qi Zhijun, so she didn't dare to speak all night, for fear that Qi Zhijun would be angry.
Just as I finished my meal and was about to wash up and go to bed, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Meili was stunned for a moment. It was so late, who was it?
Qi Zhijun had already stood up to open the door. When he saw Qi Mengmeng outside, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"Mengmeng, come in quickly, why are you knocking on the door again? Didn't I give you a key?"
Qi Mengmeng did not enter the house. She handed the lunch box in her hand to Qi Zhijun: "Dad, this is the crispy fish I made. It's getting late, so I won't go in. Next time, tell Gu Guizhi what you want to eat."
Qi Zhijun's expression couldn't be more satisfied, and he said, "It's so late now, it will be the same if I send it tomorrow."
Qi Mengmeng smiled at Qi Zhijun: "The crispy fish is ready. It's well seasoned now. Put it outside the window. It can still be kept for two days."
Qi Zhijun asked Qi Mengmeng to sit inside, but Qi Mengmeng waved her hand and said, "No, it's getting late. I'll go back first."
"Wait a minute, I'll put the lunch box down and take you there." Qi Zhijun said, quickly put the lunch box on the table, and walked out.
Qi Mengmeng didn't let him send her off. This was the military district's family compound, and there were soldiers on duty outside. Everything was fine when she came here just now.
Of course Qi Zhijun knew this, but he just didn't feel comfortable letting his daughter go back alone.
Qi Mengmeng could only let him send her back. When Xu Meili walked out, she just saw the father and daughter disappear at the entrance of the corridor.
Xu Meili opened the lunch box on the table and took a look. She pinched a small piece of fish and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up. The fish tasted good. She put it away and waited for Zheng Yingying to come back.
After sending Qi Mengmeng off, Qi Zhijun came back and couldn't find the lunch box on the table. He asked Zheng Meili and found out that she had put it away, so he reminded her to put it outside the window.
Zheng Meili had already placed the fish outside the window, as she was worried that the fish would not be released until the day after tomorrow.
"Are there fish in the two lunch boxes that Mengmeng sent?" Qi Zhijun asked.
Zheng Meili smiled and said, "Mengmeng's cooking skills are pretty good. The fish looks delicious. I don't know how to cook fish. Our family has never eaten fish like this."
Qi Zhijun nodded: "We will eat one tomorrow and save one for when Yingying comes back."
The smile on Zheng Meili's face became more genuine. She smiled and said, "It's rare that Mengmeng still cares about us. Next time I see someone selling fish, I'll buy two and send them to her."
Qi Zhijun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you have been here for a long time, you know where the good things are. If you come across something rare in the future, buy one for Mengmeng, and I will pay you."
Zheng Meili knew that Qi Zhijun loved his daughter, so although she was a little unhappy, she still nodded.
As long as Qi Zhijun treats Zheng Yingying well, she can accept it if Qi Zhijun loves Qi Mengmeng more.
Knowing that Qi Zhijun was in a good mood, Zheng Meili tentatively said, "Mengmeng is already married, and Guizhi has been promoted to deputy regiment commander. Good days are still ahead. As for Yingying, although she has a job, she has never had a partner. Do you think you can find one for her in the army?"
Qi Zhijun thought for a moment and said, "There is a deputy battalion commander in our regiment who is about the same age as Yingying."
Zheng Meili immediately shook her head: "Deputy battalion commander? Even someone of this rank cannot accompany the army."
"At worst, we can rent a house for Yingying in the city. Yingying is working in the city now anyway." Qi Zhijun was open-minded about this. "If you think it's okay, I'll go ask him tomorrow if he has a girlfriend."
"Don't ask yet, let me ask Yingying first." Zheng Meili was unwilling, and after enduring for a long time, she said, "Is there anyone with a higher rank, even battalion level or above?"
"There is no such thing in our regiment." Qi Zhijun shook his head. Several battalion commanders in their regiment were already married. He still had to ask about the situation in other regiments.
"Then go and ask tomorrow. Yingying has been with us for so many years, we must find a good partner for her." Zheng Meili's eyes were full of anticipation.
Qi Zhijun looked at her seriously and understood what she meant. She wanted to find a partner of a higher level for Zheng Yingying.
"Mei Li, most of those who have been promoted to the rank of battalion commander are not young anymore, and most of them are married." Qi Zhijun wanted Zheng Mei Li to sober up.
"Didn't Mengmeng marry Guizhi?" Zheng Meili's requirements were not high. She just wanted to find someone who was similar to Gu Guizhi.
Qi Zhijun looked at Zheng Meili suspiciously: "Are you attracted to Guizhi? But he is already married to Mengmeng."
"Look at what you said. I just told you to find someone similar to Guizhi. If I liked Guizhi, I would have told you a long time ago." Zheng Meili gave Qi Zhijun a reproachful look.
"It's no use telling me. Guizhi and Mengmeng are engaged to each other as children. Guizhi has known about this for a long time and he won't look for a partner." Qi Zhijun has great confidence in Gu Guizhi.
Zheng Meili was speechless. How could she not know? She had known it a long time ago.
"I just want you to find a good partner for Yingying." Zheng Meili reiterated her purpose.
"I'll ask for you tomorrow to see if there's anyone the same age as Yingying." Qi Zhijun nodded and lay down.
Zheng Meili originally wanted to say that it didn't matter if she was a few years older, but she was worried that Qi Zhijun would find someone much older. In the end, she swallowed her words and decided to wait until Qi Zhijun had a target before talking about it.
Qi Mengmeng didn't know that because of her, Zheng Meili remembered Zheng Yingying's marriage again. When she returned home, Gu Guizhi had already washed the dishes and boiled a pot of hot water for Qi Mengmeng to wash.
After a busy day today, Qi Mengmeng just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.
After she changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, Gu Guizhi sat down beside her and put his hands on her shoulders, which scared her.
"Let me massage you, so your arms won't be sore tomorrow." Gu Guizhi gave Qi Mengmeng a full body massage. Although it was sore, the effect was very good and she slept soundly.
