Qi Huilan guessed the reason, but since it was the young couple's personal hobby, she could only pretend she didn't know.
Gu Guizhi put the dumplings on the table and brought over a bowl of dumpling soup.
"I made a lot of dumplings, enough for two meals, and one more for dinner."
Gu Guizhi didn't stay back for long this time, but he was very busy. Apart from accompanying Qi Mengmeng to take the exam, he was also taking care of the two children.
Now the two children stop crying when they see him and sometimes even give him a smile.
Kang Kang saw Qi Mengmeng eating and told her to stop.
“Ah, ah…”
An An was honest and didn't make any noise, but he accidentally put his hand into Kang Kang's mouth, interrupting Kang Kang's voice.
Qi Mengmeng scooped half a spoonful of dumpling soup and put it into Kang Kang's mouth. Kang Kang smacked his lips and grinned. She scooped another half spoonful of dumpling soup for An An.
An An raised his fist happily.
"You eat first. They have drunk milk and are not hungry now." Gu Guizhi took the spoon from Qi Mengmeng and let her eat first.
Kang Kang's eyes followed the spoon. Gu Guizhi found it a little funny and fed Kang Kang another half spoonful of dumpling soup.
All in all, the two children are almost half a year old and can eat some complementary food.
After Qi Huilan boiled the eggs, she gave the two children the egg yolks to eat. Both children liked them very much, especially Kang Kang. He even wanted to reach out and grab the eggs himself, which scared Qi Huilan so much that she quickly took the eggs away.
Now Gu Guizhi was feeding the two children dumpling soup, and Qi Huilan was watching from the side, afraid that Kang Kang would grab the spoon and scald himself.
Seeing that Qi Mengmeng had finished eating the dumplings, Qi Huilan stopped Gu Guizhi from feeding her.
"I'll go put them to sleep. You two can talk. Mengmeng can go prepare some things for Guizhi." Qi Huilan brought the two children into the house to sleep. Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi also went back to the house to talk.
Gu Guizhi didn't bring any luggage when he came back this time. Qi Mengmeng wanted to prepare some food for him, but Gu Guizhi refused. He was a grown man and couldn't just eat anything casually. All the food at home was prepared for Qi Mengmeng and the two children.
Qi Mengmeng wanted to go and make something for Gu Guizhi, but Gu Guizhi held her back and said, "Don't go. I've cooked dumplings tonight. I'll just bring a lunch box."
Gu Guizhi still has classes to attend, so he probably won’t be able to come back before the New Year. I just don’t know if Qi Mengmeng can go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this time.
Qi Mengmeng was also thinking about this problem. If the results could come out earlier, she would go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with Gu Guizhi. However, these things were not something Qi Mengmeng could decide.
"If the results are not out by the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, I will buy a train ticket and come back."
Gu Guizhi is a cautious person. He doesn't want Qi Mengmeng to go out before the results are out, in case there are any unexpected situations that Qi Mengmeng can't solve without being at home.
After listening to Gu Guizhi's words, Qi Mengmeng also felt that it made sense.
This is the first college entrance examination after its resumption. No one knows when the results will be released or when the admission will be. The safest way is to wait at home.
The two of them only talked for a while before Zhao Xiaocao came. She knew the college entrance examination was over, so she came to see Qi Mengmeng.
However, Zhao Xiaocao was very sensible. He just chatted with Qi Mengmeng and didn't ask any more questions.
At around 4 p.m., Qi Huilan cooked the remaining dumplings, first served a large bowl to Gu Guizhi, and then filled a large lunch box for him.
After Gu Guizhi finished his meal, Qi Huilan handed him the cloth bag that she had prepared in advance.
"Guizhi, there are egg cakes and twisted dough sticks in here. If you get hungry on the train, you can fill your stomach with them."
Ever since Qi Mengmeng started preparing for the college entrance examination, there has never been a shortage of snacks such as egg cakes and small twisted dough sticks at home. It rained in the past two days and it was inconvenient to go out, but fortunately there was a lot of food at home, so we just packed it up.
Qi Mengmeng made another large cup of malted milk for Gu Guizhi, poured it into the kettle, and asked Gu Guizhi to drink it on the road.
Gu Gui got on the car quite late. He was worried that it would not be safe for Qi Mengmeng to come back, so he just let Qi Mengmeng drop him off at the door of her house.
"I'll send you a telegram when I get to the capital. If you know the results or get the admission letter, please contact me as soon as possible."
Gu Guizhi reminded Qi Mengmeng before going out.
Qi Mengmeng nodded and watched Gu Guizhi's figure disappear at the intersection.
"Mengmeng, it's cold outside, please come in quickly." Qi Huilan waited in the room for a few minutes and came out to urge Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng closed the gate and went into the house.
The weather is getting colder now, even colder than when it rained two days ago.
"When your teacher's wife came over just now, she asked me how I did in the exam. I said it was OK. Then she asked me what would happen to your job if you went to college. It seemed like someone asked her to ask that question."
Qi Huilan talked about the purpose of Zhao Xiaocao's visit.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head: "I have already agreed to give the job to Xiaochun. As soon as my acceptance letter comes in, I will go with Xiaochun to complete the formalities."
This was something that had been agreed upon long ago, and Qi Mengmeng didn't want to go back on her word and cause any more trouble.
"Then I'll go over and tell your master's wife tomorrow." Qi Huilan liked Lu Xiaochun very much, but Zhao Xiaocao was Qi Mengmeng's master's wife after all, so she still had to tell her in advance.
Lu Xiaochun was also thinking about this matter, but she didn't come over immediately after the exam, otherwise it would seem that she was urging Qi Mengmeng to change jobs.
Zhao Xiaocao was more anxious. She came after breakfast the next morning.
She first looked at the two children, teased them, and then asked Qi Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, I wonder if your mother told you what I said yesterday. If you get into college, do you want to sell your job?"
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Zhao Xiaocao to be so anxious, and shook her head first: "Master's wife, I'll tell you the truth, I promised Xiaochun to work for me before the exam, if I pass the college, I will sell the job to her."
Zhao Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Oh, I thought I came early, but I didn't expect that they would tell me in advance."
All I can say is that these are all coincidences, and Qi Mengmeng has no choice.
"I asked for this job for my niece from my mother's side. She went to the countryside last year and took the college entrance examination a few days ago. After the test, she called home crying and said that she did not do well in the test and asked her family to find a job for her."
"If it was so easy to find a job, we wouldn't have sent her to the countryside in the first place."
Zhao Xiaocao's mother's family is also an ordinary family. They don't know any powerful people, so they sent their daughter to the countryside. Now, in order to get their daughter back, they have mobilized almost all of their relatives.
Now knowing that there is no hope with Qi Mengmeng, Zhao Xiaocao has to go ask somewhere else.
In the evening, Lu Xiaochun also came, holding a bundle of green onions and a bundle of leeks in her hands.
"Sister Mengmeng, I grew these in my own room. The quantity is not much, please don't despise me."
