"Hello, Grandma Zhang, we are Bai Shuwen's granddaughters. Grandma asked us to come and see you." Bai Jingjing took the initiative to step forward and said.
Zhang Meiling opened her eyes wide and took a closer look at Bai Jingjing, then thought for a moment: "You are Jingjing, right? I held you in my arms when you were a child."
Bai Jingjing nodded vigorously: "Grandma Zhang, I'm Bai Jingjing, and this is my brother, Bai Hao."
Zhang Meiling quickly asked the two to sit down and poured them some water.
"Auntie Ling, we have guests at home, so we'll leave first." Qi Mengmeng stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Although she was anxious about buying a house, she was not in a hurry to do it on this day.
Zhang Meiling hesitated for a moment, but still sent Qi Mengmeng and the others out. At the door, Zhang Meiling whispered, "I've already talked to my friend. She said if you want to buy it, she can sell it to you first. Come find me tomorrow morning and I'll take you there to have a look. It's nearby."
Qi Mengmeng nodded, asked Zhang Meiling to go back to entertain the guests, and left with the child in her arms.
Zhang Meiling waited until they left before turning back to talk to Bai Jingjing and Bai Hao.
However, Bai Jingjing and Bai Hao only sat there for half an hour before leaving. Zhang Meiling even gave them a can of malted milk and asked Bai Jingjing to keep it for herself to drink.
Bai Jingjing's face flushed, and after some politeness, she finally accepted the malted milk.
After leaving Zhang Meiling's house, Bai Haocai said to Bai Jingjing disapprovingly: "Jingjing, you shouldn't take Grandma Zhang's things."
Bai Jingjing's face turned pale. "But, but grandma said that we still have a lot of things that haven't been returned. If we return them, we have to give some to Grandma Zhang."
Bai Hao looked at her and shook his head: "Jingjing, you also said to return it, but we don't know if those things can be returned. We only gave you canned food, and you took the malted milk..."
Although canned food is not cheap either, compared with malted milk, they are definitely getting a bargain.
"But we really don't have much money. If you have to go back, I'll be alone here from now on." Bai Jingjing had tears in her eyes and looked uncomfortable.
Bai Hao looked at Bai Jingjing's unhappy expression and said nothing more. He could only make up his mind that if he could get those things back at home, he would never let Zhang Meiling suffer any loss.
Zhang Meiling didn't take the can of malted milk seriously at all. She sorted out the things that Qi Mengmeng and the others brought, thinking about what to buy for Qi Mengmeng and the two children tomorrow.
My best friend Feng Qingqing just said that she asked Zhang Meiling to help her deal with the two courtyards she has in Beijing. If there is a suitable candidate, she will ask Zhang Meiling to help sell them. She will buy a train ticket back to Beijing today.
Zhang Meiling sighed. Although Feng Qingqing told her to make the decision on everything, they had both been traumatized in the past few days. She could help, but the specific details should be discussed after Feng Qingqing came.
As for Bai Shuwen's request, it would be better to wait for Professor Jiang to come back to discuss it. Her family had no connections, so at most she could just ask which department to go to. She couldn't help Bai Shuwen get the Bai family's things back.
The next morning, Zhang Meiling and Professor Jiang appeared at the door of the guesthouse, carrying steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk in their hands.
After a while, Gu Guizhi came down and saw the two of them. He was surprised and said, "Aunt Ling, Uncle, you guys are here so early?"
Zhang Meiling said cheerfully, "I don't have anything to do today, so I came here early. Here's breakfast, take it up to your mom and Mengmeng."
Gu Guizhi took the breakfast and invited Zhang Meiling and the others to come up and sit down.
Professor Jiang was worried that Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng had not yet finished packing, so he politely declined.
Zhang Meiling also smiled and said, "Guizhi, you guys go have breakfast first, we'll just wait for a while downstairs."
The guy at the front desk just brought some stools for the two of them, so they didn't feel tired sitting there.
Gu Guizhi tried to persuade her a few times but failed, so he took his breakfast and went upstairs.
Qi Mengmeng was folding the quilt and was a little surprised to see Gu Guizhi coming up so quickly, carrying breakfast.
"This was bought by Aunt Ling. Aunt Ling and Uncle are waiting downstairs."
Qi Mengmeng was a little surprised and hurried to wash her face. A vague voice came out from the bathroom: "You eat breakfast first, I'll be done soon."
Gu Guizhi then delivered Qi Huilan's breakfast to the next door.
The three of them ate very quickly. In ten minutes, the three adults came downstairs carrying the two children.
Zhang Meiling immediately took the child from Qi Huilan's hands and looked at the child in Qi Mengmeng's arms.
"This is Kang Kang, he's really good looking."
Kang Kang had just finished breakfast and was smiling at Qi Huilan. When he saw Zhang Meiling, he frowned. He didn't know this person, so he curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.
Qi Huilan hurried to hug Kang Kang.
"Kang Kang is a little heavy now, let me hold him."
When Kang Kang saw that it was Qi Huilan who replaced him, his expression looked better.
Zhang Meiling also noticed the change in Kang Kang's expression and said with some amusement, "Kang Kang is quite clever."
Qi Huilan said helplessly: "Kang Kang's temper is a little more impatient than An An, but An An is more vigilant."
The two children not only look different, but also have very different personalities.
Ge Meiling teased An An again, and An An gave her face and forced a smile. But when Zhang Meiling tried to hug her, An An immediately turned her head away.
That means you are not allowed to hug me.
Zhang Meiling smiled and tapped An An's little nose: "This An An is also very smart."
After teasing the child for a while, Zhang Meiling explained her purpose. She was here to take Qi Mengmeng and the others to see a house.
Feng Qingqing's house is not far from the west gate of Beijing University. If Qi Mengmeng can buy this house, it will definitely be convenient for her to live in in the future.
"Qingqing's house was a betrothal gift from her husband's family. It's not a big house, and they didn't take it seriously. Although the situation is better now, they don't want to come back. If you are willing to buy this house, they will have less worries."
Zhang Meiling first took Qi Mengmeng to the street office to get the house key, and then went to Feng Qingqing's house.
The house was close to Beijing University and was not seriously damaged, except for some broken tiles on the roof. There were not many weeds in the yard, and the house was a little empty without any furniture.
This courtyard has three main rooms, two side rooms, three east and west wing rooms each, and four south rooms. It can be considered a very formal small courtyard.
There are a total of fifteen rooms, with a large yard in the middle. When the children grow up, they can run around in the yard.
Qi Mengmeng was attracted by this house after taking a look around it. It’s so nice.
Gu Guizhi could tell from Qi Mengmeng’s expression.
"You like it?"
Qi Mengmeng nodded: "This house is not bad. When the children grow up, each of them can have a room, and they can run and play in the yard."
