Qi Zhijun picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then nodded: "This tea tastes good."
Qi Mengmeng didn't dare to use the best tea to serve guests at home, so she just used ordinary tea. However, fewer people drink tea nowadays, so this kind of tea is considered pretty good.
Seeing a few people drinking tea, Qi Mengmeng went back to the kitchen and fried the remaining dishes.
Qi Mengmeng asked Zhao Xiaocao to go inside to drink tea, but Zhao Xiaocao shook her head and said, "I don't know how to drink tea. I can help you pack your things here."
At this time, Gu Guizhi had already come out of the house and said, "Master's wife, I'm here. Go sit in the house and drink some water. The meal will be ready soon."
Qi Mengmeng smiled more and more and asked, "Why did you come out?"
"I'll bring some more hot water to Dad and the others, and then I'll come over to help you." Gu Guizhi said as he took the kettle into the house and came back soon.
The surprise on Zhao Xiaocao's face has not yet subsided. She didn't expect that Gu Guizhi, an officer, would actually come to help Qi Mengmeng cook. Looking at Qi Mengmeng's expression, he seemed used to it.
She thought it was rare for Gu Guizhi to help wash the vegetables, but she didn't expect that even though there were guests at home, Gu Guizhi was still willing to help in the kitchen.
"Master's wife, You Guizhi is helping in the kitchen, so you can go sit inside. We both work quickly and we'll be able to eat soon." Qi Mengmeng coaxed Zhao Xiaocao back into the house.
Gu Guizhi asked beside him, "What am I doing?"
Qi Mengmeng pointed at the leeks and the plate: "Go and put the leeks on the plate."
"Okay." Gu Guizhi put the leeks on the plate and cracked a few eggs. He turned around and saw Qi Mengmeng washing the fungus. He took the fungus from Qi Mengmeng's hand and asked Qi Mengmeng to do something else.
Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi have a perfect understanding. As long as Qi Mengmeng stretches out her hand, Gu Guizhi knows what she wants and quickly hands it to her.
Qi Zhijun came out of the house and saw this scene. He stood at the door for a while, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
Back then, it was the same thing with him and Qi Huilan. It can only be said that it was fate that played tricks on them. He disappeared unexpectedly and the Qi family's identity was too special, which led to the current situation.
Now that he sees that his daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, Qi Zhijun feels very relieved.
Xu Meili came out and saw the two people busying around. She was about to go over and said, "I'll go help. How can I let Guizhi work in the kitchen?"
"No need," Qi Zhijun stopped her, "I think Guizhi is doing a good job, let's just ignore it."
Qi Mengmeng heard the noise and saw the two of them standing at the door. She wiped the sweat off her head and said, "Dad, Aunt Zheng, are you hungry? The food will be ready soon."
Qi Zhijun quickly shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
Xu Meili also rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen. Seeing that Qi Mengmeng was too busy, she felt embarrassed to sit in the house.
"Then please trouble Aunt Zheng to bring the dishes to the table." Qi Mengmeng handed Zheng Meili a basin, and she quickly prepared the last dish.
Today's meal is very rich, including braised beef with soy sauce, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, stewed chicken with mushrooms, Mushu pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried pork belly with cabbage, and an egg soup. The staple food is two kinds of rice, which is steamed together with rice and millet.
The aroma of all the dishes penetrated into everyone's nose, and everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Everyone, sit down. Eat while it's hot." Qi Mengmeng took a basin and served rice to everyone.
Qi Zhijun first took a piece of braised beef with chopsticks and nodded: "This meat is really delicious."
Zheng Meili looked at the food on the table, then at the rice in the bowls. She knew that Qi Mengmeng was living a good life, but she didn't expect it to be so good.
The meat dishes on the table cannot be bought just by having money and tickets.
Zheng Yingying glanced at Gu Guizhi, lowered her head, picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth. Indeed, as Qi Zhijun said, it tasted very delicious.
She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Back then, she had thought about marrying Gu Guizhi, but before she could go to Qi Zhijun to tell him, Gu Guizhi refused.
Now seeing that Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi are living so well, she feels both envious and jealous.
Qi Mengmeng ignored everyone's expressions. When she saw Qi Zhijun and Master Li starting to pick up the dishes, she also picked up a portion of scrambled eggs with leeks for herself.
She was not short of money and there was plenty of meat in the space, so she picked the vegetables to eat. The potatoes in the stewed pork ribs were sweet and soft and delicious.
The mushrooms in the mushroom stewed chicken absorb the aroma of the chicken soup and taste better than chicken, and are added with fresh leeks and black fungus in the Mu Shu pork.
Seeing that Qi Mengmeng was only eating vegetables, Qi Zhijun picked up a piece of beef for her with chopsticks and said, "Don't just eat vegetables, eat some meat too."
Before Qi Mengmeng had the time to refuse, the beef fell into her bowl. She frowned slightly because she hated it most when others picked food for her.
Gu Guizhi quickly noticed Qi Mengmeng's abnormality. While Qi Zhijun was not paying attention, he picked up the beef in Qi Mengmeng's bowl and put it in his own bowl.
Qi Zhijun certainly noticed it, but when he saw Qi Mengmeng picked up a piece of pork ribs for herself, he didn't say anything.
At the dinner table, no one spoke much. On the one hand, the food was so delicious, and on the other hand, everyone was unfamiliar with each other and had little in common.
The seven people finished the six dishes and one soup. Zheng Yingying even rubbed her stomach quietly. Qi Mengmeng glanced at them and looked elsewhere with a smile on her face.
Look at the others. Although they didn’t rub their stomachs, you can tell from their standing posture that they ate too much and their stomachs are a little bulging.
Qi Mengmeng stood up to clean up the dishes, but Zheng Meili stopped her and said, "Mengmeng, I'm not as good at cooking as you are, so leave the job of washing the dishes to me."
Zhao Xiaocao also rushed to wash the dishes, but in the end Zheng Meili snatched the loofah flesh, and Zheng Yingying also helped to collect the dishes.
Qi Mengmeng went back to the house and made a pot of tea for Master Li and Qi Zhijun. Master Li waved his hand and said, "I've eaten a lot. I won't stay for tea. I'll take a walk in the yard."
Master Li went for a stroll in the yard. Qi Mengmeng poured a cup of tea for Qi Zhijun, then sat down and took a teacup.
"Mengmeng, you bought a good house." Qi Zhijun looked around. "Although this house is small, it is big enough for the two of you. When you have children in the future, you will also have enough space to live in."
Qi Mengmeng also nodded: "It's mainly because it's rare to find a house that can be bought and sold privately."
It is not popular to buy a house by yourself nowadays. Everyone is waiting to be allocated a house.
"Well, originally I asked my comrades to keep an eye out for you, but now that you have bought this house, I will report to my comrades and they will tell you that you don't have to keep the house." Qi Zhijun told them about his previous plan.
"Which house?" Qi Mengmeng leaned forward, looking interested.
"Haven't you already bought a house?" Qi Zhijun was a little confused.
Qi Mengmeng laughed twice. For those who have experienced the ups and downs of modern housing prices, who would complain about having too many houses?
