The two-day exam ended successfully in cold weather.
Qi Huilan cooked a large table of dishes in the evening and stewed a pot of chicken soup.
"Mengmeng has worked hard these past few months, and Guizhi must be tired after rushing back all the way. Let's eat something better today."
Qi Mengmeng hadn't drunk much water during the exams in the past two days and was already thirsty. She went over to pour herself a glass of water and drank it without stopping.
"Hey, why did you drink so much water? You should drink chicken soup." Qi Huilan held the bowl of chicken soup and did not stop Qi Mengmeng.
"Mom, drinking water doesn't affect my chicken soup." Qi Mengmeng put her arm around Qi Huilan's shoulders and said with a smile in her ear.
Ever since Qi Mengmeng came in, Qi Huilan had been staring at the expression on her face. Now seeing her so happy, she immediately relaxed. It seemed that Qi Mengmeng had done well in the exam.
Gu Guizhi thought so too. He originally wanted to ask Qi Mengmeng how she did in the exam, but when Qi Mengmeng came out after the exam, she had a smile on her face, so he simply didn't ask.
Everyone else came out with gloomy faces after the exam, only Qi Mengmeng came out with a smile, the joy on her face was too obvious.
Qi Mengmeng did well in the exam and knew the answers to most of the questions, but the main reason she was happy was that she finally finished the exam.
One of her important goals after coming here was to take the college entrance examination. Later, she studied with Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling, and it can be said that she has always been obsessed with it.
Now that the exam is over, I feel relieved.
She applied for three college entrance examination choices. The first one was the Economics Department of Capital University. This was requested by Mr. Jiang. He was currently teaching at Capital University and hoped that Qi Mengmeng could study at Capital University.
The other two choices were for the Chinese Department and the History Department.
Qi Mengmeng is now in a state of lightness and relief. When she eats, she feels that her hand holding the chopsticks has become lighter.
"Mengmeng, eat more." Qi Huilan kept picking up food for Qi Mengmeng.
"Mom, you and Guizhi should eat too. You have been helping me take care of the baby during this period. You have worked hard. Just bring the baby to our room tonight and I will take care of him."
Qi Mengmeng put the plate of stewed chicken towards Qi Huilan.
Qi Huilan glanced at Gu Guizhi, smiled and shook her head: "The two children are used to sleeping with me, and they are not used to sleeping in a different place. You can take care of them in a few days."
Qi Mengmeng wanted to say something, but Gu Guizhi thanked Qi Huilan first: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Qi Huilan smiled and said, "They are all my own children, so why should I worry about it?"
The weather was cold, so they ate quickly. They finished in less than half an hour. Gu Guizhi went to wash the dishes while Qi Mengmeng held the baby and fed her.
Qi Huilan looked outside and said to Qi Mengmeng, "You silly child, Guizhi will be back tomorrow, why don't you stay with him for a while? You also have to take care of the child. The child is at home, so you can't watch him anytime."
Qi Mengmeng finally realized what Qi Huilan meant, and her face turned red. "Mom, given Guizhi and I's situation, I'm afraid it won't be easy to have another child."
Qi Huilan raised her hand, wanting to pat Qi Mengmeng more, but looking at the child in Qi Mengmeng's arms, she nodded her head: "I'm saying, are you stupid? Who said that couples get married just to have children?"
"Guizhi is still so young, and he's attending a military academy. When he graduates, he will at least be a regiment commander. In the future, his position will definitely be higher than your father's. He was on a mission before, so you two didn't have much time to spend together."
"Now that you both have to go to school, you'll have more time to spend together, and your relationship will improve."
"You two already have two sons, so there's no rush to have children. You'll be happy if you have more in the future, but even if you don't, two children will be a companion in the future."
Qi Huilan was almost telling Qi Mengmeng to capture Gu Guizhi's heart.
Qi Mengmeng really didn't think about it that way. She felt that this was the 1970s and they were a military marriage, so there would be no problem. But what Qi Huilan said made sense. A marriage with love is more interesting.
At night, Gu Guizhi felt Qi Mengmeng's "enthusiasm."
The two of them tossed and turned for more than two hours before they stopped. Gu Guizhi hugged Qi Mengmeng and felt steam coming out of his head.
"Mengmeng, I'm leaving tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work at home. When your notice comes, we'll rent a house in Beijing. It will be convenient for me to go home then."
Qi Mengmeng also felt hot and exposed her arms. Gu Guizhi quickly covered them for fear that she would get cold. Qi Mengmeng did not break free, but she could not help but say, "It's hot, don't hold me so tight."
Gu Guizhi pulled the quilt open a little, but hugged her arms even tighter.
Qi Mengmeng felt a little cooler, and then she said, "We are going to live in Beijing for several years. If there is a chance, I want to buy a house. It is more convenient to live in my own house."
The most important thing is that houses in Beijing are valuable.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go look for it when I have the chance." Gu Guizhi had no opinion about the house and listened to Qi Mengmeng.
"It's better to buy a bigger one." Qi Mengmeng felt that there should be at least three rooms to live in.
The couple needs to stay for one day, and Qi Huilan also needs to stay for one day while she goes to take care of the children. When the children grow up, they will need their own rooms.
So, there are not three rooms, but four.
Gu Guizhi put this matter to heart and prepared to return to the capital. He would go out to look for a house when he had no classes on weekends.
The couple talked slowly until Qi Mengmeng fell asleep.
Gu Guizhi tucked the corner of Qi Mengmeng's quilt inside before going to sleep.
The next day, Qi Mengmeng almost didn't get up. Qi Huilan wanted to call her, but Gu Guizhi didn't let her.
"Mom, Mengmeng has been studying a lot recently. Now that the exam is over, let her sleep a little longer."
The most important thing is that Qi Mengmeng was also very busy last night.
Qi Huilan was originally worried that Gu Guizhi would have an opinion, since he thought it was no big deal for Qi Mengmeng to sleep in, and since Gu Guizhi was her biological mother, of course she wouldn't care.
Gu Guizhi was not idle in the morning. He washed the clothes that the two children had taken off, went out to buy a lot of meat, and then helped Qi Huilan take care of the children.
When Qi Mengmeng woke up, it was almost noon. She yawned and went out of the house. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Qi Huilan.
"mom."
Qi Huilan was coaxing the child and said casually, "Guizhi has made dumplings. You come and look after the child. I will go and cook dumplings for you."
Gu Guizhi heard the noise in the kitchen and shouted, "Mom, I'll cook."
Qi Huilan urged Qi Mengmeng to wash up, and tapped An An's little nose: "An An, mom is a lazy bug, we don't want to learn from her."
Qi Mengmeng: ...I heard it. I didn't get up late on purpose. I was just tired.
When Gu Guizhi cooked the dumplings and brought them into the house, Qi Mengmeng glared at him, looking a little puzzled.
"What's wrong, Mengmeng? You don't want to eat dumplings? I'll make you something else?"
Qi Huilan was watching from the side. Qi Mengmeng couldn't tell the reason yet, so she could only hold her breath and say, "No need."
