Luo Xiangxiang was very sensitive and noticed Qi Mengmeng's gaze. She glanced to the side and sat down next to Qi Mengmeng with a smile on her face.
Yu Jiahe handed a piece of candy to Luo Xiangxiang. Luo Xiangxiang didn't even turn her head. She peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth. Then she leaned close to Qi Mengmeng's ear, winked at her, and looked at Qi Huilan.
She originally wanted to ask the two if there was something going on, but then she remembered that Qi Huilan had just divorced and this was happening in public, and if others heard it, it would have a bad impact.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head slightly. Although they all guessed Liu Dajiang's thoughts, he himself never said it, so they could only pretend not to know.
While eating, Luo Xiangxiang kept staring at Qi Huilan. When she saw Liu Dajiang changed the order of the dishes in front of Qi Huilan, her eyes noticed it and she felt that she must have seen it right.
She looked around. On the right was her eldest son Yu Jiahe, and on the left was Qi Mengmeng. She pulled Qi Mengmeng's sleeve and motioned her to look forward.
In fact, everyone at the table noticed what happened, but they just pretended not to know.
Luo Xiangxiang thought she had eaten the latest melon and was very excited. Qi Mengmeng was afraid that Qi Huilan would feel embarrassed, so she quickly signaled Luo Xiangxiang to eat the meat to avoid it being eaten up.
Qi Huilan was not a dull person to begin with. Luo Xiangxiang's eager look was too obvious, and Liu Dajiang had been taking care of her, so how could she not notice it?
But she had been married twice and had no other ideas for the time being, so she could only pretend not to know.
Apart from this little incident, the whole meal went harmoniously.
After dinner, except for Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng, everyone else had to go to work or school. Several people were standing at the door of the restaurant, when suddenly someone rushed over.
The man first saluted Gu Guizhi, and then said that there was an urgent mission and he needed to return to the team immediately.
Liu Dajiang had already called out the other person's name, then pulled the other person aside and whispered a few words to him, then quickly walked back with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"There's a mission in the army. I called the Armed Forces Department and Guizhi only has half an hour to pack his things."
Liu Dajiang didn't dare to look at Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng when he spoke. After all, no one would accept that a man would leave right after getting the marriage certificate.
Qi Mengmeng was a little confused and didn't react for a while.
Qi Huilan was the first to react. She said to Luo Xiangxiang beside her, "Xiangxiang, please ask for an hour's leave for me. I will go back and help Guizhi pack his luggage."
Luo Xiangxiang's face was not looking good either. She thought that Qi Mengmeng's partner was good just now, but in the blink of an eye, the other party was leaving.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng and said with some embarrassment: "This is a mission, I..."
"Let's go back and pack our luggage." Qi Mengmeng had already reacted and interrupted Gu Gui's next words.
She had a feeling that this marriage was unreal from the beginning. Now that Gu Guizhi needed to go on a mission, it was just the right amount of time for her to buffer.
The others also reacted and the first thing they had to do was to let Gu Guizhi go back and get his things, and they could talk about other things later.
The comrade from the Armed Forces drove them home, and he would take Gu Guizhi to the train in half an hour.
Gu Guizhi went back to the room and quickly packed everything together, which only took a few minutes. He reached out and tucked a strand of hair on Qi Mengmeng's cheek behind her ear, with a gentle tone in his voice.
"I have applied for a family housing, but I don't know if it has been approved. You are living here now. If you have any questions, you can go to Uncle Liu. I also have a comrade named Lu Daban, who is a driver at the machinery factory. He has been away for the past few days. You can also go to him if you have any questions."
Gu Guizhi handed Qi Mengmeng the note with the military address written on it: "This is my address, and this phone number is the office number of our regiment's Political Commissar Liao. If you have any problems that you can't solve, you can also call him."
Time was tight, so Gu Guizhi said everything he wanted to say, and then said apologetically, "Mengmeng, I'm sorry, we just got married and I have to go on a mission."
Qi Mengmeng was not that sad, mainly because they were not familiar with each other. She nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. If there is anything, I will find Uncle Liu and Mr. Lu, and I will also write to you."
Gu Guizhi pursed his lips tightly and hugged Qi Mengmeng tightly: "Wait for me to come back."
Qi Mengmeng was stunned at first, then slowly reached out and hugged him: "I'll wait for you to come back safely."
Gu Guizhi let go of Qi Mengmeng, looked at him again, picked up his bag, went out, and got into the armed forces car.
Soon, the car drove out of their sight.
Qi Mengmeng blinked and could no longer see the car.
"Mengmeng, if you want to cry, just cry." Qi Huilan hugged Qi Mengmeng: "Mom is here."
Qi Mengmeng turned around and said, "Mom, I don't want to cry. You go to work. I want to go home and get some sleep."
As she spoke, she yawned and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. In the past few days, her biological clock had been shaped, and she wanted to sleep as soon as noon came.
Qi Huilan thought Qi Mengmeng was suppressing her inner sadness, and she felt even more distressed, but the marriage had already happened, and no matter how much she said, it would only make Qi Mengmeng feel worse.
"Mom, I'm serious. You should go to work." Qi Mengmeng came back to her senses, locked the door, and was about to go home.
While Qi Mengmeng was locking the door, Liu Dajiang whispered to Qi Huilan, "Let Mengmeng be alone for a while."
Qi Huilan was afraid that Qi Mengmeng would feel upset, so she sent her home, and finally went to work after her repeated requests.
After Qi Mengmeng waited for her to leave, she locked the door and went to sleep.
The sky is big, the earth is big, and sleeping is the biggest.
Qi Mengmeng slept for two hours. When she woke up, the sunlight shone through the window onto the table, making her feel very warm.
Qi Mengmeng couldn't help but smile, and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously.
Although I don't know why we no longer have modern conveniences in the 1970s, life here is easy and not stressful, so it's not impossible to survive.
At least in modern times, she almost never took a nap.
Although she has a profitable cake shop, she is the boss and the chef, so she has to stay in the cake shop all the time. Taking a nap is a luxury.
Qi Mengmeng got up, sat in front of the window, feeling the beauty of the sunshine, and fell asleep on the table in a daze.
Half an hour later, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
She rubbed her numb arm and walked out slowly, but the person outside the door knocked even more urgently.
"Who is it?" Qi Mengmeng walked to the door and asked first.
"It's me." The knocking on the door stopped for a moment, and Ge Tiezhu's voice sounded.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to open the door. Her mother had divorced Ge Tiezhu and the two families had no relationship anymore.
"What's the matter?" she asked, standing behind the door.
"A notice from the street office has arrived, Qi Mengmeng, please open the door quickly." Ge Tiezhu's voice was filled with excitement, and he glanced at Sister Wang next to him.
Sister Wang moved to the side a little and said loudly, "I am Wang Fangfang from the Street Office."
