When Gu Guizhi saw Qi Mengmeng, he noticed that something was wrong on her face and asked carefully, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Aunt Qi?"
"No." Qi Mengmeng shook her head. "My mom asked me to discuss the wedding banquet with you. We don't have many relatives here, and my mom just got divorced, so we are only going to invite close relatives to set up a table together."
Gu Guizhi nodded. Anyway, as long as the two of them got the marriage certificate, they would be officially husband and wife, so the amount of the banquet would be up to Qi Mengmeng.
"I'm going to the post office later to call and ask about the marriage report. Will you come with me?" Gu Guizhi remembered something very important.
Qi Mengmeng still had to go home to pack her things, so she asked Gu Guizhi to go there by himself and tell her if there were any changes regarding the marriage.
Gu Guizhi shook his head. With Qi Zhijun's status in the army, there would be no problem for their marriage.
When Gu Guizhi thought of this, he realized that he seemed to have never mentioned Qi Zhijun's affairs. He did not mention it when he came this time, but he applied for a family housing unit, and he was afraid that Qi Zhijun would know about it soon. He had to tell Qi Mengmeng about this in advance.
"Mengmeng, there is something I haven't told you."
Qi Mengmeng was just thinking about whether she should go home and collect the things of the Ge family father and daughter to repay them for taking care of the original owner, when she heard these words. She tilted her head and Gu Guizhi continued.
"Your real father, Captain Qi and I are in the same unit. He is in the third regiment and I am in the first. I did not inform him when I came this time, but I applied for a family housing, so he will probably get the news soon."
After Gu Guizhi finished speaking, he looked at Qi Mengmeng and said, "Captain Qi lives upstairs. If we apply for a small courtyard, it probably won't be very close."
Qi Mengmeng's face was calm: "It's good to be away from him. I have never heard my mother talk about my father since I was a child. I always thought my father was dead, so my mother married Ge Tiezhu."
"I don't know why we broke up, and I don't know why he never came to see me, but I think he should be married. It's good for us to live our own lives."
Qi Mengmeng remembered hearing a saying in her previous life: the best ex is the one who doesn’t bother each other, as if they were dead.
Captain Qi has done a great job in this regard, just keep it up.
Gu Guizhi obviously misunderstood Qi Mengmeng's meaning. He frowned slightly and said, "Mengmeng, Captain Qi really cares about you. He once showed me a passbook where he saved your dowry. He also warned me that if I treat you badly in the future, he will never let you marry me."
"Oh," Qi Mengmeng sighed, turned her head and looked at Gu Guizhi seriously: "If you treat me badly, I will leave you and won't let anyone vent my anger for me."
Gu Guizhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew Qi Mengmeng was telling the truth. He said as if swearing, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and nodded at him. She believed that what he said now was true. As for the future, she would leave it to time.
"You haven't told me yet, is Captain Qi married? Does he have children?" Qi Mengmeng thought it would be better to get more information to be prepared.
Gu Guizhi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Captain Qi is married. He married Zheng Meili, who retired from the art troupe. The two of them have no children, but only adopted a daughter, who is the child of Zheng Meili's brother. Zheng Meili's brother and sister-in-law are both gone."
Qi Mengmeng felt that her cheap father was quite blessed. Her biological mother was born into a capitalist family. Not to mention her appearance and temperament, she later married a female soldier from the art troupe, so she must have been pretty too. It was a pity that they didn't have any children.
Gu Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Mengmeng didn't ask any more questions. That was all he knew.
Ever since Qi Zhijun remarried and Zheng Meili brought her niece over, he seldom went to the Zheng family. Any matters between him and Qi Zhijun were always discussed in the army.
Qi Mengmeng was not interested in the affairs of the Qi family. As long as Qi Zhijun's remarried aunt and nephew did not make trouble in front of her, she could completely ignore them.
Gu Guizhi didn't know much about Zheng Meili's aunt and nephew, so he didn't comment, but he said, "Captain Qi will definitely side with you."
Qi Mengmeng remained noncommittal. It was hard to say who he would side with between his daughter whom he hadn't seen for many years and his wife and adopted daughter with whom he had always lived.
Anyway, if we can get along well, it’s okay to interact occasionally. If we can’t, just treat each other as strangers. Qi Mengmeng won’t force it.
While the two were talking, Gu Guizhi sent Qi Mengmeng home and went to the post office to make a phone call.
He did not express any opinion on Qi Mengmeng's attitude.
It is a fact that Qi Zhijun has never raised Qi Mengmeng. He respects Qi Mengmeng's opinion, but Qi Zhijun treats him well, and he will also be filial to Qi Zhijun.
It was only two o'clock when Qi Mengmeng returned home. The house was empty. She first went to Ge Tiezhu and Qi Huilan's room and packed out all of Qi Huilan's things.
Then she went to Ge Wenling's room. She remembered that Ge Wenling had borrowed a lot of things from the original owner, such as pencils, erasers, exercise books, and even the clothes that Qi Huilan made for Qi Mengmeng.
Ge Wenling had worn those clothes, so of course she wouldn't wear them, but she wouldn't let Ge Wenling get away with it, so at worst she could just give those clothes away.
She packed two large bags from two rooms.
Ge Wenling pushed the door open angrily, saw the clothes in Qi Mengmeng's hand, and rushed forward to grab them: "What are you doing with my clothes?"
"Your clothes? Your father paid for this? You made this?" Qi Mengmeng pushed Ge Wenling to the ground. "This is clearly the clothes my mother bought for me. I had no choice but to give it to you after you cried and made a fuss."
Qi Mengmeng became a little angry when she said this. She obviously liked this army green fabric very much, but she gave it to Ge Wenling just because she wanted it. Qi Huilan confirmed with her twice, but she said she didn't want it either time.
Of course Ge Wenling knew that Qi Mengmeng was telling the truth, but Qi Mengmeng also wanted to give it to her in the first place.
In the past, she could still fight back arrogantly, but now Qi Huilan and Ge Tiezhu are divorced, and Ge Tiezhu is fully focused on his son outside. If she gets into trouble, he probably won't care.
Ge Wenling stomped her feet and went back to the house, where she saw that a lot of things were missing, all of which she had cheated from Qi Mengmeng. She kicked the table in anger, then cried out "ouch", and sulked, holding her feet.
Qi Mengmeng ignored her. Without Ge Tiezhu's support, she was nothing. If she dared to poke him, he would just break the thorn off for her.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Ge Tiezhu came back, followed by a big man. The two of them rode a tricycle into the yard.
Qi Mengmeng was cracking some melon seeds in her hand and greeted Ge Tiezhu.
"Mengmeng, are you at home?" The smile on Ge Tiezhu's face froze. This was not in line with the plan.
