"Okay, let me send the things over first." Qi Mengmeng didn't say no, and Feng Qingqing felt a lot more relieved.
"I knew Mengmeng would be able to help," Zhang Meiling said happily, "is there anything else you need?"
Feng Qingqing certainly needed some things, but her other things were relatively small, so she thought about buying them herself, and then asking others for help if she couldn't find them.
"I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. Can you take me for a walk?" Feng Qingqing took the initiative to say to Zhang Meiling.
The two elderly people, whose combined age was over 100 years old, left hand in hand.
Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi smiled at each other.
"Do you want to go and take a look at the house?" Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head. She had no interest in meeting Grandma Sun.
"Since you have already said that, the house will be rented to your comrade. You will be responsible for handling the house issue." Qi Mengmeng smiled cunningly at Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi smiled dotingly: "Okay, leave it to me. I just found someone to clean up our house. We can move in as soon as we can clean it up."
It is also easy to clean up a house near Kyoto University, which only requires painting the walls, cleaning the toilets and sewers, and buying furniture.
Today’s furniture is all made of wood and contains almost no formaldehyde. If you act quickly, you can move in within five or six days.
Next, Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng had to go to work, so Gu Guizhi left the task of cleaning the house to his comrades.
This comrade was none other than Li Jun, who had rented their house.
When Gu Guizhi came here to attend military school last year, he had already visited Li Jun. His wife Li Li had given birth to another daughter. Fortunately, the family had already separated, otherwise their family of five would have no place to stand in the Li family.
Now, in addition to working, Li Jun occasionally finds some work outside. Gu Guizhi asked him to come and help repair the house because she also wanted to take care of her.
Qi Mengmeng learned about the situation of Li Jun and his wife. Thinking of what Li Li had said at the beginning, that only if the baby was a son, their lives would be better, she couldn't help but sigh.
Not to mention the 1970s, even decades later, the practice of favoring boys over girls could not be completely eliminated.
"After the house is repaired, invite your comrades over for a meal." Qi Mengmeng knew that Gu Guizhi attached great importance to these comrades, so she took the initiative to say.
"Wife, you are so nice." Gu Guizhi's straightforward words made Qi Mengmeng look at him with anger.
Hasn't she always been this good?
The couple returned to the guesthouse chatting and laughing, and Qi Mengmeng told Qi Huilan about buying two houses.
Qi Huilan nodded naturally and said, "Just discuss this with Guizhi."
For the next two days, Gu Guizhi got up every morning to renovate the house. He also ordered a batch of furniture in advance and waited for the house to be repaired so that the furniture could be moved in.
As for the house in Dongcheng District, some comrades have already gone over to help clean it up. Although the whole house is still old, all the broken things have been cleared out, and it looks much tidier.
It is said that when they moved, Mrs. Sun did not want to move, but Director Li had a gloomy face throughout the whole process. In addition, many people went there, all of them were strong young men, and some were wearing military uniforms.
Mrs. Sun wanted to lie on the ground and say that someone was blackmailing her for her house, and the police were also called over.
In the end, Mrs. Sun moved away and Director Li was criticized for his poor performance.
After Li Jun and his team finished cleaning up the Peking University house, they went over to clean up that side.
Some of the furniture over there can still be used, but for those that really can't be used, they will find a way themselves, so Gu Guizhi and the others don't have to worry about it.
The house at Peking University has been renovated, but Gu Guizhi is still in the military academy. Li Jun brings Li Li to find Qi Mengmeng.
"Sister-in-law, the house has been cleaned up. Why don't you go over and take a look? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can clean it up again." Li Jun's attitude towards Qi Mengmeng was very good.
Not only because she was Gu Guizhi's daughter-in-law, but also because she had agreed to rent a house to them so that they could live outside and make a living.
Gu Guizhi introduced him to two big jobs and paid him money, so he didn't ask at all what the house was about or who it belonged to.
If Gu Guizhi hadn't gone to school, it would have been inconvenient for him to come alone to see Qi Mengmeng, and he wouldn't have told his wife.
Li Li looked haggard, but when she saw Qi Mengmeng, she tried her best to smile: "Sister-in-law, when are you going to move? I'll help you clean up the house?"
Qi Mengmeng invited Li Li into the room, but Li Li waved her hand to refuse, saying that she would take Qi Mengmeng to see the house first.
Qi Mengmeng was afraid of delaying their work, so she said something to Qi Huilan and followed Li Jun and Li Li out.
On the way, Qi Mengmeng and Li Li were chatting casually. Li Li expressed her gratitude to Qi Mengmeng for renting the house to them.
"Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, I would probably have no way to survive now. I don't know why my life is so miserable. I gave birth to three girls."
"It's fine if I suffer, but the three girls have to suffer with me."
"Fortunately, we still have a place to live now, thank you sister-in-law."
Li Li kept expressing her gratitude, and later added Li Jun, which made Qi Mengmeng a little overwhelmed. She had an illusion that she was not a landlord, but a kind-hearted person.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought.
Li Li thought Qi Mengmeng didn't believe her, so she quickly said loudly, "Sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth."
"I believe what you said is true." Qi Mengmeng was worried that Li Li would get excited, so she nodded quickly: "We are not going to live in that house now, you can just live there without worry."
Thinking about how people now favor boys over girls, and the state of Li Li's two daughters, she said, "Both boys and girls are our own children. Since they have come to us, we have to treat them better."
Li Li kept nodding: "Sister-in-law is right."
Qi Mengmeng was relieved to find that she was not a patriarchal person, and she thought she could be friends with him.
When she arrived at the house, Qi Mengmeng realized how down-to-earth the couple were. Not only was the house renovated very well, but it was also thoroughly cleaned and the furniture was wiped very clean without a trace of dust on it.
"Li Li, did you clean up all these?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
"I wiped it, sister-in-law. Did I not wipe it clean? I will wipe it again later." Li Li said quickly.
"No, I think you wiped it too clean."
Qi Mengmeng could even see the luster on the furniture. The level of cleanliness was almost as good as that of a modern housekeeper.
The whole yard is very well tidied up and you can move in right away.
"Thank you, Li Jun, the house has been renovated very well." Qi Mengmeng's face was full of gratitude. She knew that Gu Guizhi had already given the money, but from the extent of the renovation of the house, it could be seen that Li Jun had put in a lot of effort.
"Sister-in-law, these are what I should do. The captain gave me the money." When Li Jun said the latter part, he found it difficult to speak.
"That's what I should do. I can't let you work for nothing." Qi Mengmeng said confidently, "You did a great job. If someone wants to renovate a house in the future, I will recommend you."
