Gu Guizhi really couldn't bring himself to let go, but he would try his best to protect Qi Mengmeng and prevent her from being talked about by others.
Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows. Gu Guizhi was very thoughtful. Even if a man like this couldn't have children, there would probably be many people vying for him.
"I'm not interested in raising children for other people, so forget about adopting one." Qi Mengmeng was speaking from the heart.
If it was her own child, she would raise it reluctantly, but for someone else's child, forget it. What if she ended up raising an ungrateful child? It would make her angry enough.
Gu Guizhi nodded. He had no obsession with the child and listened to Qi Mengmeng in everything.
"You are so honest. Aren't you afraid that I will find out the news and regret marrying you?" Qi Mengmeng looked at Gu Guizhi's relieved expression and felt that this man was quite honest.
"I will treat you well all my life, and you will definitely not regret it." Gu Guizhi rubbed his hands under the quilt on his body. He was sweating too much.
Qi Mengmeng looked at him with a half-smile, and Gu Guizhi quickly changed the subject: "I have already applied for a family housing unit, and I think it has been approved by now. When I get better, we can move there."
When Li Zhuang and Jiang Shan came back, they were talking excitedly about the layout of the courtyard.
"Li Zhuang, go and ask later whether the house I applied for has been approved." Gu Guizhi said to Li Zhuang.
"Yesterday I met Xiao Wang from the logistics department, and he said that his application has been approved. He is in the last row of the family compound, and he can go and get the key when the battalion commander is ready."
Li Zhuang said this, but in fact he went to the logistics department specifically to ask.
They originally only knew that Gu Guizhi had a fiancée, but never knew that this fiancée was the daughter of Captain Qi. Seeing how attentive Captain Qi was to Qi Mengmeng yesterday, Li Zhuang felt that he should first ask about the family quarters for his own battalion commander. Unexpectedly, the battalion commander woke up today.
"Battalion Commander, do you need me to go to the logistics department in advance to get some furniture, so that you can move in after your injury is healed." Li Zhuang said, looking at Gu Guizhi's expression.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, what do you think? Do you want to stay at Captain Qi's house for a while, or should I ask Li Zhuang and the others to clean up the courtyard first?"
He knew that there were only two rooms in Qi Zhijun's house, one of which was occupied by Zheng Yingying. If Qi Mengmeng moved in, she would probably have to live with Zheng Yingying. In order to prevent Qi Mengmeng from being wronged, he thought it would be better for Qi Mengmeng to live in his own house.
But if Qi Mengmeng is willing to go to Qi Zhijun's house, he will not stop her.
Qi Mengmeng chose to decorate her own courtyard without any hesitation. Who would want to live in someone else's home when you can live in your own home?
Gu Guizhi asked Li Zhuang to clean the courtyard first, and then asked Qi Mengmeng to go and see what furniture needed to be arranged in the afternoon.
Li Zhuang happily agreed and promised to clean the yard very well. Jiang Shan also said that he would help clean up.
Gu Guizhi simply asked the two to go back first and come back to pick up Qi Mengmeng in the afternoon.
After the two of them left, Qi Mengmeng asked why she was not allowed to go with them.
"Li Zhuang hates to owe favors to others. I saved him this time, so he must feel really guilty. But I asked him to do some work, and he was happy instead."
"I guess Li Zhuang will put the beds in place for us. If you don't want to stay at Captain Qi's house, I'll have Li Zhuang move my bedding over there and you can just stay there tonight."
Of course Qi Mengmeng is willing to live in her own house, but how does Gu Guizhi know that she doesn't want to live in Captain Qi's house? This man's ability to predict things is a little too strong.
"My allowance is in the dormitory. When Li Zhuang and the others come back in the afternoon, I'll ask them to bring it over. Just go buy whatever you want to eat. My allowance is enough for both of us."
Gu Guizhi also told Qi Mengmeng about Qi Zhijun's family situation.
Qi Zhijun's later wife, Zheng Meili, is popular in the staff housing estate and almost raises her niece as her own daughter. After graduating from high school last year, Zheng Yingying was admitted to a primary school in the city and is now a primary school teacher.
Qi Mengmeng was not very interested in Qi Zhijun's family affairs. She nodded casually to show that she understood.
As long as Zheng Yingying doesn't bother her, she won't care about Qi Zhijun's family affairs.
Qi Mengmeng picked up the ceramic jar on the table and tested the temperature. It was not hot anymore, so she handed it to Gu Guizhi and asked him to moisten his throat. She told him that they could talk about it later if there was anything. He had just woken up and needed to rest well.
Gu Guizhi had a head injury and was indeed tired after talking for so long, but he looked at the water cup and didn't drink it. Li Zhuang and Jiang Shan were not around now, and if he wanted to go to the toilet, it would be inconvenient.
Qi Mengmeng saw that he didn't hold the cup and asked in confusion, "Is it inconvenient to hold it to drink? I'll go ask the nurse if there is a straw."
"Don't go." Gu Guizhi called Qi Mengmeng, coughed, and looked away: "I'm not thirsty."
How could he not be thirsty? Qi Mengmeng clearly saw that Gu Guizhi's lips were a little chapped.
At this time, Gu Guizhi already regretted letting Jiang Shan and Li Zhuang leave. Now he suddenly felt the urge to urinate, but it was not convenient for him to get out of bed. He felt embarrassed just thinking about asking Qi Mengmeng to help him.
Qi Mengmeng thought Gu Guizhi was embarrassed, so she turned around and went to the nurses' station.
There was no straw at the nurses' station, but the nurse gave her a section of cleaned IV tubing to use as a straw.
Qi Mengmeng took it to the bathroom to rinse it several times before taking it back to the ward.
Gu Guizhi lay straight on the bed. Qi Mengmeng thought he was asleep, so she put the infusion tube into the ceramic tank and sat down beside him.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Qi Mengmeng went to open the door, and Qi Zhijun was standing outside.
"Mengmeng, how is Guizhi now?" The concern on Qi Zhijun's face was genuine. He and Gu Guizhi had a very good relationship over the years. Now that Qi Mengmeng was married to Gu Guizhi, he naturally treated Gu Guizhi as his own son.
"I fell asleep again just now." Qi Mengmeng let Qi Zhijun in.
"Uncle Qi, you're here." Gu Guizhi opened his eyes and greeted Qi Zhijun.
Before Qi Zhijun could speak, Gu Guizhi said to Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, can you help me get some water? I want to wipe my face."
Qi Mengmeng nodded and took out the basin from under the bed. Qi Zhijun went to grab the basin: "I'll do it."
"Uncle Qi," Gu Guizhi raised his voice, "Let Mengmeng go."
Qi Mengmeng glanced at Gu Guizhi, then went out with the basin.
Qi Zhijun raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Guizhi: "What the hell are you doing, kid? Why do you have to let Mengmeng fetch water?"
Gu Guizhi whispered, "Uncle Qi, I'll go lock the door first, and then see if there's... a pot?"
Although his voice was low, Qi Zhijun already understood what he meant.
Qi Zhijun closed the door and took out the urinal from under the bed: "Boy, do you need my help?"
