The person who came was Lin Jianjun. Although Qi Mengmeng had seen him twice, she was not familiar with him, so she had no impression of him.
Gu Guizhi nodded to Qi Mengmeng and said, "Captain Lin is having dinner at our house today."
Qi Mengmeng was a little surprised, but still invited Lin Jianjun to sit inside.
Lin Jianjun said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I talked to Guizhi about something today, so it was a little late, so I shamelessly came to my house for a meal."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "Captain Lin, don't say that. Sit inside. I'll go cook dumplings."
Gu Guizhi asked Lian Jianjun to sit in the house while he went to help Qi Mengmeng cook dumplings.
Lin Jianjun's face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that Gu Guizhi was such a person in private.
Gu Guizhi ignored his surprise and followed Qi Mengmeng into the kitchen: "I'll cook the dumplings, you take a rest."
Qi Mengmeng didn't let him do anything, but just asked him to bring the boiling water from the fire into the house to make tea for Lin Jianjun.
Gu Guizhi was a little unhappy, but still carried the kettle into the house.
Lin Jianjun was looking at the wedding photo of Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng on the table. When he saw Gu Guizhi come in, he smiled and said, "Guizhi, your wedding photo is very good."
When Gu Guizhi looked at the wedding photo, the expression on his face relaxed a little.
"That was taken in my hometown. I haven't taken a photo since I came to the provincial capital."
He opened the cupboard, found the tea leaves, and made a cup of tea for Lin Jianjun.
Lin Jianjun picked up the tea leaves and smelled them, then took a deep breath and said, "This tea leaves smell really good."
Gu Guizhi also smelled it, then shook his head: "I don't usually drink tea, these are all prepared by Mengmeng."
Lin Jianjun knew that Gu Guizhi married Qi Zhijun's daughter. He thought that the tea was given by Qi Zhijun and secretly thought that it was good to have a good father-in-law.
What he didn't know was that all of Qi Zhijun's tea leaves were in Qi Mengmeng's space.
Qi Mengmeng spent a lot of money to buy that, so of course it tastes good.
Gu Guizhi and Lin Jianjun sat together drinking tea and chatting. He really didn't know why Lin Jianjun came to his house for dinner.
The two of them belonged to different groups and were responsible for different matters. They just met by chance today. He didn't expect Lin Jianjun to ask him to have dinner at his house. He couldn't refuse, so he had to take Lin Jianjun back.
The two drank two cups of tea, and Qi Mengmeng first cut a plate of salted duck eggs and a plate of spiced sausages for them.
Gu Guizhi reached out to take the plate and asked if the dumplings were cooked. He then went to take the dumplings.
Qi Mengmeng said she didn't need him, she could serve it by herself.
Gu Guizhi said something to Lin Jianjun, went to the kitchen to bring up the dumplings, and Qi Mengmeng also sat down.
Lin Jianjun was surprised. He didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to have dinner with him.
If Qi Mengmeng knew this, she would spit in his face. She cooked for them, but he actually thought that she shouldn't eat with them.
Gu Guizhi first picked up a salted duck egg for Qi Mengmeng, and then poured vinegar for her. Lin Jianjun was stunned.
"Captain Lin, eat dumplings." Seeing that Lin Jianjun was only staring at him, Gu Guizhi asked in confusion, "Do you want vinegar?"
"No, these are enough for me." Lin Jianjun waved his hand.
"Today we are making dumplings with pickled cabbage filling. I wonder if Captain Lin can get used to it. These salted duck eggs and Chinese sausages are what I brought from my hometown. Captain Lin, please try them."
Qi Mengmeng greeted them with a smile and said a few words, then said nothing else.
After she finished eating the dumplings, she went back to the kitchen to make dumplings with the remaining vegetable fillings.
Qi Mengmeng served each of them a bowl of dumpling soup and returned to the kitchen.
Gu Guizhi took a sip of the dumpling soup, and seeing that Lin Jianjun didn't move, he said, "The original soup dissolves the original food. We all like to drink the dumpling soup when we eat dumplings. If you don't like it, just put it aside."
Lin Jianjun pulled the corner of his mouth, picked up the dumpling soup and took a sip. Isn't it just noodle soup? But he didn't say anything.
Throughout the meal, Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng did not do anything extreme, and their communication was also normal, but in Lin Jianjun's eyes, he felt that the relationship between the two was particularly good.
Lin Jianjun has two wives and two children, but he doesn't feel this way.
In his opinion, women's job is to do housework and keep the bed warm.
But today, after watching the interaction between Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng, he suddenly felt that there is more than one way for couples to get along.
After the meal, Lin Jianjun did not stay long. He thanked Gu Guizhi for the hospitality and said that he would invite him to his home for dinner in a few days.
After he left, Qi Mengmeng entered the room, her face full of confusion: "Are you on good terms with Captain Lin? I haven't heard you say that before?"
"It just happened today. I was going home for dinner, and Captain Lin was still at my place. He said it was late and there was no food at home. Someone asked if he could come to my house for dinner, and I politely said so. I didn't expect Captain Lin to really come."
Gu Guizhi really didn't expect Lin Jianjun to come. The two of them didn't communicate much on a regular basis, and apart from work, they had almost no private contact.
Lin Jianjun suddenly said he wanted to have dinner, and under the circumstances, it was difficult for Gu Guizhi to refuse.
As they were talking, Gu Guizhi had already cleaned up the table. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, the two of them began to wash up and prepare for bed.
Lin Jianjun returned home in confusion. He decided to go to Gu Guizhi's house for dinner today on a whim, but he really had nowhere else to go.
He had an argument with Li Pandyi on New Year's Day, and Li Pandyi found out that he had sent money to Lin Zisheng's grandmother's house.
Although Li Pandi was illiterate, she knew how to count. She had never expected that Lin Jianjun would send 20 yuan to his ex-wife's parents' home every month, even though they had no relationship anymore.
After they got married, Li Pandi kept the house clean and tidy, and even made new clothes for Lin Zisheng and his brother for the New Year. Lin Jianjun was quite satisfied with Li Pandi, so he explained that his wife's family had helped take care of Lin Zisheng and his brother in the past, and the money was for Lin Zisheng's grandmother.
Li Pandi really couldn't understand. He didn't even allow Lin Jianjun to send money to his own parents' home, so how could he send money to his ex-wife's parents' home?
The two had a quarrel on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Li Pandi didn't cook on the first night of the Lunar New Year. Lin Jianjun told her directly that if she didn't cook, she could leave because their family didn't want to keep idle people.
Li Pandi then started to cook, but her face looked so sad, which was really ugly.
Lin Jianjun didn't want to go home, but today was only the second day of the Chinese New Year, and he impulsively said he wanted to go out to Gu's house for dinner. He still regrets it, but he didn't expect Gu Guizhi to agree.
Now that the meal was over and it was dark, Lin Jianjun had no choice but to go home.
With Lin Jianjun's level, he could apply for an apartment, but his ex-wife thought that the small courtyard could be used to grow vegetables, so she chose a bungalow. After a few years, the rooms upstairs were almost all occupied, and there was no room left in the apartment.
As soon as Lin Jianjun entered the house, Lin Zili rushed over and asked, "Dad, why didn't you come home for dinner tonight?"
