Qi Mengmeng was about to speak when Gu Guizhi came over and asked, "Is the wind from this fan a bit too strong?"
Xu Xiaoyue looked at Qi Mengmeng with a teasing look.
Qi Mengmeng's face turned a little red, but she pretended not to see it.
Zhou Qingqing ran over and asked Xu Xiaoyue: "Mom, this electric fan is really cool, should we buy one for our family?"
Xu Xiaoyue paused in laughter and did not answer immediately, but confused Zhou Qingqing with vague answers.
This electric fan doesn't look cheap at first glance, and it's not something an ordinary family can afford. There are four children in the family, and she doesn't have a job. Both her husband's family and her own family rely on them for financial support. The little money they have saved is very limited, so how could they dare to use it to buy an electric fan?
Xu Xiaoyue didn't even ask about the price of the electric fan.
Qi Mengmeng understood Xu Xiaoyue's attitude from her attitude, so she stopped talking about the electric fan and continued the previous topic.
However, Xu Xiaoyue kept looking at the electric fan, and then left early with her two children.
Gu Guizhi then walked over to Qi Mengmeng and said, "I wanted to buy three today, but there are only two left in the department store. Let the children sleep in our room tonight."
Qi Mengmeng felt the coolness of the electric fan and felt relieved. She closed her eyes comfortably.
"Our bed can't accommodate so many people."
"It's okay, I'll sleep on the floor." Gu Guizhi responded immediately. When he was on a mission in the past, it was common for him to find a place to lie down.
"The floor is so hard. No, we have to put the electric fan in the children's room. We'll buy another one another day." Qi Mengmeng opened her eyes and looked at Gu Guizhi.
There is no other way when I am on a mission, but now I can’t sleep on the floor at home, it is too hard.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng with some heartache. He bought the electric fan to make Qi Mengmeng cooler when she slept at night. He couldn't buy the electric fan and then it would still be hot at night.
"Put the electric fan in our room at night. The children are young and cannot be blown by the electric fan too much."
Gu Guizhi made the decision immediately.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the children who were happily enjoying the electric fans and a smile appeared on her face.
At night, when Gu Guizhi moved the electric fan to Qi Huilan and the others, Qi Huilan said that she was not feeling well and could not be exposed to cold wind, so she asked Gu Guizhi to move the electric fan to their room.
Liu Dajiang also said they didn't need electric fans.
The last two electric fans were placed in the main room.
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng certainly knew what Qi Huilan and Liu Dajiang meant. They were reluctant to use the electric fan.
Qi Mengmeng counted the money she had and prepared to buy another electric fan, a refrigerator, and some popsicles to put in it.
Anyway, her cake shop is doing good business now, and she can afford to use all the profits to buy these appliances. She talked about this with Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi agreed immediately and said that he would buy a refrigerator for the cake shop as well. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he was afraid that some ingredients might not be able to be replenished.
Qi Mengmeng patted her head, thinking how busy she was. She had to buy a freezer for the cake shop, as an ordinary refrigerator couldn't hold much.
It’s just that department stores sell refrigerators, but not freezers.
Gu Guizhi told Qi Mengmeng not to worry, he would find a solution.
A few days later, Gu Guizhi bought both the electric fan and the refrigerator.
The neighbors nearby couldn't help but come over to see.
"Hui Lan, you bought three more electric fans?"
"There are so many people in their family working, so they are not short of money."
More and more neighbors came over and said all kinds of things. Qi Huilan, on the other hand, was in a good mood and stood in the yard talking to everyone.
Gu Guizhi opened the box, installed everything, and placed the electric fan in Qi Huilan's room.
"Mom, put this electric fan in your room. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. With the electric fan, you can sleep better at night."
Qi Huilan was of course very happy and praised Gu Guizhi for his filial piety.
The envy on the faces of the neighbors nearby almost turned into reality. Not to mention the son-in-law, even his own son is not so filial.
In the next few days, there were occasional noises coming from the neighbors' homes. Either the children wanted to buy electric fans because they felt too hot, or they wanted to buy refrigerators because they wanted popsicles.
After a few days of commotion, two families actually bought electric fans, but no one bought a refrigerator for the time being.
Qi Mengmeng bought a large freezer in her cake shop. Qi Mengmeng also developed an ice cream cake and only made two every day.
Although the quantity of ice cream cakes is limited and they can only be sold in the store, they attract many people because of their good taste.
Some customers who didn’t buy the ice cream cake would always buy something else.
Normally, summer is not the peak season for snacks and cakes, but since the introduction of ice cream cakes, Qi Mengmeng's cake shop has not been affected at all.
After summer, the turnover was calculated and it turned out to have increased by one third compared to spring.
The cake shop opened by Qi Mengmeng has established a foothold in Beijing and has a group of loyal customers.
Such a good business will naturally be discovered by some people, and some people will envy and be jealous.
Summer had just passed, and someone introduced a boy to Du Yuanyuan. Originally, Du Yuanyuan was just going through the motions to save face, but she didn't expect the other party to be very good and very enthusiastic about Du Yuanyuan.
Qi Mengmeng originally thought that Du Yuanyuan was about to get married, but unexpectedly, Du Yuanyuan directly rejected the other party's proposal of marriage, and even told Qi Mengmeng and Ding Xiang that she would never get married in the future.
The accident happened so quickly that Qi Mengmeng couldn't react. How could things break up like that?
Facing the concerned looks of Qi Mengmeng and Ding Xiang, Du Yuanyuan told the truth. It turned out that they had a sister-in-law who had just graduated from high school and wanted to learn a craft from Du Yuanyuan. She also said that after Du Yuanyuan got married, she would rent a shop for them to open a cake shop.
Before they even got married, he started plotting against Du Yuanyuan's job. Du Yuanyuan sensitively realized that the other party chose her just to open a shop for his family.
If they had told the truth at the beginning, Du Yuanyuan would not have been so angry, but this obvious calculation was laid out on the table, and Du Yuanyuan's partner refused to admit it, and even said that this was all for the good of both of them.
Du Yuanyuan simply said that she would continue to work in Qi Mengmeng's cake shop after they got married and that her skills would not be shared with others. This made the other party angry.
The young man is a worker in a bicycle factory. He is tall and looks very energetic. The main reason he chose Du Yuanyuan was to let Du Yuanyuan open a shop for his family. Now that his hope has been dashed, of course he is unwilling to do so.
Du Yuanyuan went directly to the introducer and said that they were not suitable.
The introducer wanted to persuade the young man further, but Du Yuanyuan told him their plan and said that if the other party continued to pester her, she would go directly to the bicycle factory to ask the young man's leader. Only then did the matter fall through.
Qi Mengmeng and Ding Xiang looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade them.
