Qi Huilan didn't feel anything when she was on the train, but now that she got off the train, she felt a sense of fatigue.
When he heard Qi Mengmeng say that she wanted to go to the guesthouse to rest, he immediately nodded in agreement.
They came here with their families and would stay in the guesthouse for a few days first, then go to see Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling, and then decide whether to rent or buy a house.
They have no shortage of money, so it is definitely easier for them to buy a house. However, there are not many houses for sale now, so buying a suitable house still depends on luck.
Qi Mengmeng and her friends took a bus at the train station entrance and went to the vicinity of Beijing University.
Gu Guishang is attending a military academy and may not be able to come back every day. It would definitely be more convenient for them to live near Beijing University.
Qi Mengmeng and her family booked two rooms, Gu Guizhi and his wife lived in one with their children, and Qi Huilan lived in another.
Originally, Qi Huilan wanted to live with her child, but she was worried that the child would be unsafe when sleeping at night, so she finally agreed to let Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng live with the child.
Gu Guizhi was in good physical condition, so he let Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng sleep in the house while he went to fetch water, buy food, and inquire about the situation nearby.
Qi Mengmeng fed the children first and coaxed them to sleep before locking the door. She and Qi Huilan each hugged a child and lay down on their beds to sleep.
Gu Guizhi first went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to buy some food, put it in another room, then went to get some water. When he was done with his work, he came and knocked on the door.
Qi Mengmeng yawned and continued to sleep soundly in bed.
Today’s green-skinned trains are not comfortable, even for sleeper berths. You definitely need to catch up on some sleep after getting off the train.
Gu Guizhi put a few lunch boxes on the table, went back to the house to get the thermos, and asked Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan to go to the bathroom to wash up.
The room they booked has a bathroom and the price is relatively higher.
Qi Mengmeng took the thermos and washbasin to the bathroom. Gu Guizhi went to see the two children, touched the diapers skillfully, and went to get new diapers to change for the two children.
After Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan came out of the bathroom, Gu Guizhi took the basin to the bathroom to wash the diapers.
"Guizhi, wait until after dinner to wash." Qi Huilan felt a little embarrassed. The two of them were eating while she let Gu Guizhi change his diaper.
"It's okay, Mom. You guys eat first. I'm quick and will be done soon." Gu Guizhi's voice came from the bathroom.
Qi Mengmeng picked up a piece of meat and gave it to Qi Huilan.
"Mom, you've been working hard taking care of the kids these past two days, you should eat more."
Qi Huilan glanced at Qi Mengmeng in a reproachful manner and lowered her voice: "We can't let Guizhi do all the housework. You have to do some work occasionally."
This is unfair. When Gu Guizhi is not at home, Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan share the housework.
It’s just that after Gu Guizhi came back, he loved to work so much that no one could take his work away from him.
Besides, Gu Guizhi is often not at home, so of course he has to do some work, otherwise how can he have the feeling of raising a child?
Although Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything, Qi Huilan could tell what she meant from her expression.
Gu Guizhi was indeed very fast. It only took him two minutes to wash two diapers.
Seeing that Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng had not picked up their chopsticks, he said, "Mom, you and Mengmeng should eat quickly. The weather is cold now and the food will get cold soon."
"Guizhi, sit down, let's eat together." Qi Huilan waited for Gu Guizhi to sit down before picking up her chopsticks.
Gu Guizhi added an egg to Qi Mengmeng's meal before starting to eat.
Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows at Qi Huilan. Qi Huilan glared at her, picked up a piece of meat for her, and whispered, "Eat it."
Eating more can shut your mouth.
Gu Guizhi didn't know what the mother and daughter were talking about, so he also picked up a piece of meat for Qi Mengmeng: "I think the food at the Beijing State-owned Restaurant is good, you should eat more."
After he said that, he pushed the lunch box towards Qi Huilan.
"Mom, you should eat more too."
Qi Mengmeng stopped winking at Qi Huilan and began to concentrate on eating.
Qi Huilan watched Gu Guizhi eat quickly, looking at the two children on the bed from time to time, and even picked up some meat for Qi Mengmeng.
She withdrew her gaze and thought, forget it, it’s better not to interfere in the affairs of the young couple.
Anyway, these two people are like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. If Gu Guizhi is willing to do more work, then just do it. At least it's not his daughter who is suffering.
After the three of them finished their meal, the two children woke up. Qi Mengmeng fed the children while Gu Guizhi went to wash the lunch boxes.
After returning, Gu Guizhi told Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan what he had heard.
There are not many people renting houses nearby, and even fewer people staying in the guesthouse. It is not like in later generations, when the whole family would send their children to college if they were admitted.
Qi Mengmeng and her classmates are the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Their age span is very wide, ranging from teenagers to people in their thirties, and most of them are married.
In order to save money, everyone comes early, and only a few come as early as Qi Mengmeng and her friends.
"Mengmeng, we're renting a house, I think we should ask your Aunt Ling, they've been back for a while and are more familiar with this place."
Qi Huilan heard the news from Gu Guizhi and said beside her.
Qi Mengmeng was planning to visit Zhang Meiling and the others in two days. Qi Huilan shook her head somewhat disapprovingly: "We have already arrived in Beijing, we should visit your Aunt Ling first. If we go in two days, your Aunt Ling will definitely be angry."
After Zhang Meiling learned about the college entrance examination, she went to the provincial capital to tell Qi Mengmeng. So when Qi Mengmeng came to Beijing, she would of course visit them as soon as possible.
Qi Mengmeng originally thought it was not a good idea to go in the afternoon, but after hearing what Qi Huilan said, she changed her mind.
"Mom, let's pack up and go visit Aunt Ling's house."
After buying winter clothes, Qi Huilan sewed all the money she had into her clothes when she came, and the rest of the luggage could be left directly at the guesthouse.
Qi Mengmeng’s things are all in the space, so there is no need to clean them up. They just need to go buy some things.
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng each held a child, Qi Huilan carried a cloth bag, and the three of them walked out of the guesthouse together.
Gu Guizhi had already inquired about it just now. There was a grocery store on the street next to the guesthouse. They could go there to buy some things for Zhang Meiling and her husband.
There were not many people in the grocery store, only two people were buying things. Qi Mengmeng just glanced at them and didn't look at them any further.
Gu Guizhi moved quickly. He went in, took a quick look, paid the money and the ticket, bought something and left.
The salesperson then looked at the two people who had been picking things up and asked, "Have you two finished your selection?"
The young woman pulled the older man's arm and glared at Gu Guizhi again.
Qi Mengmeng happened to see it at the door. She thought the woman was a little weird, but they still had to go see Zhang Meiling, so they ignored her.
