Qi Mengmeng stood up generously and followed Gu Guizhi to the window. Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng beside him: "Meng, Comrade Qi, what do you like to eat?"
They came at the right time today, and there were quite a few dishes, including braised pork, spicy tofu, braised fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dumplings, and rice.
"I want a fish and a tofu." Qi Mengmeng looked at the prices and chose two medium-sized ones.
Gu Guizhi said to the waiter, "Broiled fish, spicy tofu, braised pork, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, one plate of each, and two pounds of dumplings. Mengmeng, do you like dumplings or rice?"
Qi Mengmeng had been eating either corn porridge or steamed buns recently. She missed the taste of rice. She replied, "Rice."
Gu Guizhi then said to the waiter, "Half a pound of rice."
Qi Mengmeng stopped him and said, "Gu Guizhi, you ordered too much."
Gu Guizhi had never thought that his name sounded so nice. He whispered, "It's okay. You can take away what you can't finish. I've ordered everything. You can try everything. Don't worry. I have money."
When Qi Mengmeng heard the last word, she glared at him. Who was worried about him? Didn't they just not want the other party to think that they were taking advantage of the situation?
Liu Dajiang and Qi Huilan saw the interaction between the two and both felt that this marriage could be successful.
Soon, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen, and the waiter shouted, "Whose braised fish?"
Gu Guizhi got up to serve the dishes. When he came back, he placed the braised fish in front of Qi Mengmeng. He then took the chopsticks and handed them to the three of them.
Soon, the four dishes filled the table. Braised fish and spicy tofu were placed in front of Qi Mengmeng. Gu Guizhi distributed the dumplings to Qi Huilan and Liu Dajiang, and handed the rice to Qi Mengmeng.
Seeing that he was so caring towards Qi Mengmeng, Liu Dajiang teased him deliberately: "Guizhi, why did you only buy a bowl of rice? I want to eat rice, too."
Gu Guizhi glanced at him and said, "There's a lot of meat in the dumplings, and Uncle Liu likes to eat meat. How about I go buy you some rice and let me eat all the dumplings?"
Liu Dajiang glared at him. This kid is not fun at all.
Gu Guizhi deliberately slowed down his eating speed, but was still the first to finish. Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng couldn't help but speed up their eating.
Qi Mengmeng originally thought that she would not be able to finish the meal, but she ignored the taste of the state-owned restaurant and also ignored the appetite of Liu Dajiang and Gu Guizhi. She and Qi Huilan together only ate one-third of the meal, while Liu Dajiang and Gu Guizhi each ate one-third of the meal.
After finishing his meal, Liu Dajiang said to Qi Huilan, "Gui Zhibu comes here often, how about letting Mengmeng take him around?"
Qi Huilan glanced at Qi Mengmeng first, and only agreed when she saw Qi Mengmeng nod: "Okay, then let Mengmeng take Guizhi for a walk nearby. There is a park nearby with nice scenery."
Gu Guizhi stood up and handed the bag he brought to Qi Huilan.
He said, "Aunt Qi, it's inconvenient for us to carry things, can you help carry them first?"
Liu Dajiang turned his head and looked away. The total weight was less than five pounds, but the military king actually said it was inconvenient to carry it.
Qi Huilan knew that this was a polite statement, and Gu Guizhi meant that these things were given to Qi Mengmeng.
She was a little helpless. She had thought he was a poor talker, but she didn't expect him to be so good at speaking.
"Okay, then I'll thank Guizhi." Qi Huilan took the cloth bag, and Gu Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The four of them walked to the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, and Shitou came over, sweating profusely: "Boss, boss."
"What happened?" Liu Dajiang was stunned.
"Widow Pan is about to give birth. She has been sent to the hospital by the neighbors. Ge Tiezhu has also gone to the hospital." Monkey tried to calm his breathing.
Gu Guizhi then greeted the monkey: "Uncle Hou."
"Yeah," the monkey nodded, then realized, "Guizhi, why are you here?"
Gu Guizhi said, "I'm on vacation and came to see Uncle Liu."
Monkey didn't expect that Gu Guizhi and Liu Dajiang had such a good relationship.
Liu Dajiang patted Monkey on the head and said, "That's enough, stop asking so many questions."
He glanced at Gu Guizhi first, then looked at Qi Huilan: "Huilan, you heard it too, Ge Tiezhu went to the hospital, you can see it if you go to the hospital now."
He didn't say the rest, but Qi Huilan already understood what he meant. As long as they had evidence that Ge Tiezhu had a child outside, the divorce would be much easier.
Gu Guizhi walked a few steps to the side. Although he could still hear it clearly, it at least represented his attitude.
Qi Huilan's face turned pale and blue. She hated Ge Tiezhu with gnashing teeth. His woman actually gave birth to a child while Mengmeng was seeing her. Isn't this disgusting?
But she couldn't bear it anymore and had to get a divorce, so she had to go to this hospital.
She forced a smile at Qi Mengmeng and said, "Mengmeng, I'm going back to the hospital first. You take Guizhi out for a walk. If there's anything, we can talk about it when we get home in the evening."
Qi Mengmeng was a little worried and wanted to go with them.
Qi Huilan shook her head. She didn't know what kind of situation she would face if she went to the hospital. If Ge Tiezhu took action, she didn't want Qi Mengmeng to see it.
Liu Dajiang took the initiative to say, "Mengmeng, you and Guizhi go for a walk, I'll go to the hospital with your mother, if there's anything, I can help."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Gu Guizhi next to her and felt that the other party came at the wrong time.
Miraculously, Gu Guizhi understood what Qi Mengmeng meant, and he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"No." Qi Huilan answered quickly. She didn't want Qi Mengmeng to see such a thing, let alone Gu Guizhi. She emphasized her tone and said to Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, go shopping. If you have anything to say, come home and talk."
After she finished speaking, she left, and Liu Dajiang and Monkey followed her.
"If you really want to go, I'll go with you." Gu Guizhi said when he saw Qi Mengmeng staring at the direction Qi Huilan left.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head. Qi Huilan didn't let her go just now because she wanted her to get to know Gu Guizhi better. She couldn't let Qi Huilan down.
The two of them arrived at the park one after the other. After a few words, Gu Guizhi took out two passbooks from his pocket and handed them to Qi Mengmeng: "This is my allowance and bonus for these years. Now I give it to you."
Qi Mengmeng was a little confused holding the passbook, why was it different from what she expected?
"These two passbooks are my gift to you. I have already prepared tickets for watches, bicycles, and sewing machines. Do you think we should buy them here or go to the army to buy them?"
Qi Mengmeng took a minute to react. She shook the passbook and said, "You gave me all your assets after we just met for the first time?"
Gu Guizhi shook his head: "This is not the first time we meet."
Qi Mengmeng recalled carefully and finally shook her head: "I don't remember meeting you."
Gu Guizhi's eyes wandered for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "We first met ten years ago. At that time, Uncle Qi brought me here."
