When Bai Jingjing was leaving, she was seen by Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng frowned and went to find Professor Jiang.
"Uncle, I just saw Bai Jingjing. Is she here to see you?"
Bai Jingjing had just finished answering a student's question, and when she heard Qi Mengmeng's words, she was stunned for a moment.
"No, I didn't see her."
Qi Mengmeng frowned. What's wrong with Bai Jingjing? Why did she stay in the capital and not leave? Her letter of introduction allowed her to stay in the capital for such a long time.
Thinking about this, her face looked a little gloomier than usual when she returned home that night.
Gu Guizhi saw it when he got home.
"Are you having any difficulties in your studies?" Gu Guizhi asked her.
"No, I saw Bai Jingjing come to school again today. My uncle was in class at the time. I think she came to look for him but couldn't find him."
During this period, Zhang Meiling came to the house every day to help take care of the children. Gu Guizhi knew that, so when he heard Bai Jingjing's name, he frowned.
"I'm just wondering, Bai Jingjing is not a college student, how could she stay in Beijing for such a long time." Qi Mengmeng had no other ideas, she just hoped that Bai Jingjing would leave quickly.
"I'll ask my friends about this." Gu Guizhi took the initiative to take over the matter. "I don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's take mom and the kids out for a walk."
Since coming to Beijing, they have been buying a house, attending classes, and taking care of their children, and rarely go out.
The weather has been nice these days, perfect for taking the elderly and children out for a walk.
Qi Mengmeng immediately nodded in agreement.
I got up early the next morning, dressed the two children, and since there was no cooking at home, the whole family went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Qi Huilan was still a little reluctant.
"Just eat at home, and then we'll go out after dinner."
Qi Mengmeng hugged Qi Huilan's arm and said, "Mom, let's go out to eat. You must be tired from taking care of the children. Let's go out for a walk today and see how people in Beijing live."
Zhang Meiling just heard these words when she walked in.
"What do you want to see?"
"Auntie Ling is here. I just said that I wanted to take my mother out for a walk. Now we just need a guide. So I'd like to trouble Auntie Ling to take us around." Qi Mengmeng turned around and said to Zhang Meiling with a smile.
Since returning to Beijing, Zhang Meiling has gone out twice, but Professor Jiang had to work and other acquaintances had their own things to do, so she went out alone.
It would definitely be fun to have so many people go out now, so Zhang Meiling agreed immediately.
"Auntie Ling, we are all ready. Let's go have breakfast first." Qi Mengmeng pushed the baby's stroller out.
Since you are taking the children out, it is better to use a stroller. These two kids are not light now, and it is too stressful for your arms to hold them in your arms all the time.
Their first stop was to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast.
Zhang Meiling ordered a bowl of soy milk, saying it was the traditional flavor of Beijing.
Qi Mengmeng quickly shook her head and decided to drink soy milk, which was a tradition passed down from ancient times.
Qi Huilan originally wanted to try it, but looking at Qi Mengmeng's expression, she thought it would be better to give up.
Qi Mengmeng ordered soy milk buns and filled the table. Everyone around them looked at them. There were very few people like them who ordered a whole table for breakfast.
"Mom, try this fried dough stick. It's freshly fried and smells really good."
Qi Mengmeng handed a fried dough stick to Qi Huilan.
Oil is hard to buy now, so if you want to eat fried dough sticks, you have to rely on luck. If you are lucky, you can buy it, but if you are unlucky, you will have to wait a little longer. After all, state-owned restaurants do not fry fried dough sticks every day.
Qi Huilan picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. It tasted really good.
Zhang Meiling also ate a fried dough stick and pushed the bowl towards Qi Huilan.
"Huilan, do you want to try this soy milk? It tastes really good."
Qi Mengmeng immediately lowered her head to eat the buns, she was worried that Zhang Meiling would call her name.
Qi Huilan knew Qi Mengmeng best. She knew the soy milk was not tasty after seeing Qi Mengmeng's actions. However, Zhang Meiling was too enthusiastic and she couldn't refuse. She could only scoop a small sip with a spoon and put it in her mouth.
In an instant, Qi Huilan's eyes widened. How could she describe the taste? It just rushed to her head. She held it in her mouth and couldn't swallow it no matter what.
"How is it? Huilan, doesn't it taste great? Don't be polite, drink more. I'll buy more if it's not enough." Zhang Meiling was still introducing enthusiastically.
If Qi Mengmeng hadn't spent a long time with Zhang Meiling, she would have thought that Zhang Meiling was speaking in a sarcastic way.
Qi Huilan swallowed the soy juice in her mouth with difficulty, took a big sip of soy milk, and then started speaking.
"Sister Ling, you can drink the soy juice yourself. I'll just drink the soy milk."
The taste of soy milk is so good that you don’t want to drink a second sip after the first one.
Zhang Meiling was a little disappointed, and looked at Qi Mengmeng again. Qi Mengmeng smiled at Zhang Meiling, drank a big sip of soy milk, and said, "Auntie Ling, I'll just drink soy milk."
She couldn't drink soy milk, and she wanted to have a good day exploring the capital, so she needed to keep a good mood.
Gu Guizhi was taking care of the two children the whole time and didn't even look over here.
He had tasted the taste of soy milk when he first came to Beijing. If his comrades had not assured him that it was fresh, he would have thought that his comrades had used the leftover water from washing the pot the night before.
Although he can endure any bitterness, he will know the taste of soy milk after drinking it once.
Seeing that none of them wanted to drink the soy milk, Zhang Meiling had to drink it all by herself.
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as they really couldn't stand the taste of soy milk.
After the meal, the two boys still stared at the table. Qi Mengmeng maliciously used chopsticks to pick up some soy milk and put it into their mouths.
Originally, they both thought that what their mother gave them was delicious, but when the chopsticks entered their mouths, they realized something was wrong and their faces changed color.
Kang Kang opened his mouth and even wanted to howl, so Qi Huilan quickly broke off a small piece of the uneaten bun skin on the table and put it into Kang Kang's mouth.
"You, why are you so naughty?" Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng helplessly.
Zhang Meiling also looked at Qi Mengmeng disapprovingly: "Mengmeng, most children don't like to drink soy milk."
Qi Mengmeng broke off a piece of bun skin and put it into An An's mouth, which made An An, who had been sticking out his tongue, calm down.
She was just trying to see if the two children could accept the taste of soy milk. As it turned out, they both had stomachs from other places and couldn't stand the old taste of Beijing.
After breakfast, they walked out chatting and laughing.
The first stop, of course, is the square. Decades later, this has become a must-see for outsiders visiting Beijing.
Zhang Meiling introduced the buildings on the square to them. Someone came over and said, "Do you want to take pictures? Take them now and you can get them right away."
Qi Mengmeng looked at the newcomer with some surprise. Can business be done in the square now?
Gu Guizhi nodded: "Let's take a picture. Let's take a picture of the back."
The visitor was very happy, for he knew that these people were well dressed and would definitely be able to take photos.
