The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king
Chapter 35: The fickle Qin Guizhi
Before dinner, Li Mingzhong was thinking about where Gu Xiaoqi could move to. It would not be acceptable for a female educated youth to live in someone else's home, no matter if there were any unmarried or married men in the family, because she had to avoid suspicion and was afraid of accidents.
Li Mingzhong was very worried. He couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while and planned to go out for a walk.
"Dad, it's almost time for dinner, what are you going to do?" Aunt Fu said.
"There's a new educated youth who wants to move out. I'm going to see if there's a suitable family in the village!"
"Don't all the educated youth live in the educated youth camp? It's the one who came yesterday, right? That girl is very capable, but she's so pretty, don't let anyone take notice of her! It's hard to find her!"
There are many young people of marriageable age in the village who have not yet gotten married, as well as old bachelors who cannot find wives.
If there is such a ruthless person, it will ruin a woman's life. She is an educated youth from the city! Who doesn't like her?
"Don't I know this? Don't you know that the higher-ups have set a target of another batch of educated youth coming here next year? Don't worry, I'm going to be out for a while and will be back soon!"
If it were that easy, would he still have to worry?
On the one hand, there were instructions from above that more educated youth would arrive in the near future and that there would not be enough accommodation for them. Gu Xiaoqi's request to move out was exactly what he wanted, and it was like he was giving up a bed for one of the educated youth.
On the other hand, this Gu Zhiqing was capable and had a high level of ideological awareness. It was not tiring to talk to such a person, so he was willing to do him a favor.
Li Mingzhong wandered around the village for a while. He rejected several houses that had vacant rooms but were not suitable in their circumstances. He sighed and prepared to go home.
"Captain? What are you doing here?"
Qin Guizhi had just shared three taels of pork from her neighbor's house, thinking that she would feed it to her youngest son. She would buy some more when she went to the county in a few days to pick up the allowance sent by her eldest son.
"Aunt Guizhi, this new female educated youth wants to move out, so I came to see if anyone has a vacant room. I looked around and couldn't find a suitable one, so I'm about to go back!"
After Li Mingzhong finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an empty room in Qin Guizhi's house. Her eldest son was not at home all year round and had not returned for several years.
At the beginning, Qin Guizhi's family was only allocated a shabby thatched hut, and the three of them, mother and son, lived a hard life. Those years were really difficult!
Fortunately, the eldest son Gu Jingze worked hard and earned enough money to rebuild the brick house.
Although the area is not large, the materials used are all good quality. People from the village were invited to help with the construction, and those who helped made a lot of money.
Her eldest son Lu Jingze hasn't been back for several years, so there is an empty room. There is only Lu Jingan at home, and he is still a child, so it would be perfect for Gu Zhiqing to live there.
Moreover, the wall outside Qin Guizhi's house was high. At the beginning, Lu Jingze was worried about the safety of his mother and brother, and he was away from home all year round, so he thought of building the wall higher.
This also greatly improves security. With the sign "Martyrs' Home" hanging at the door, no one would dare to cause trouble for Qin Guizhi's family.
Thinking of this, Li Mingzhong slapped his forehead, turned around and asked Qin Guizhi: "Aunt Guizhi, I just realized that Lu Jingze hasn't been back to your house for several years!"
Qin Guizhi couldn't help but understand Li Mingzhong's intention when she heard it. He was planning to take advantage of her family. She said quickly:
"Captain, we are an orphan and a widow living well and comfortably! I have to keep Jingze's room for him. If he comes back one day and has no place to live, that would be too unreasonable!"
Li Mingzhong smiled awkwardly, and it was also his fault that he was rude.
"Aunt Guizhi, don't think too much. I was just too busy. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll reply to Gu Zhiqing tomorrow. It's really hard to find a suitable vacant room. It's better to let her live in the Zhiqing camp for safety first!"
Qin Guizhi was originally dissatisfied with Li Mingzhong for renting her family's empty house to the educated youth.
As soon as he heard the three words "Gu Zhiqing", his eyes lit up instantly!
"Wait a minute, Captain! The one who is going to move out of the Youth League Center is Gu Zhiqing? The one with the big eyes and the pretty face?"
Li Mingzhong: "Yes, it's her. Oh, that's right! It's Gu Zhiqing who asked you to help her pick corn today!"
Qin Guizhi suddenly showed a happy smile, the difference between before and after was so great that Li Mingzhong was completely confused.
"Captain, I think you are right. It won't work if it's not safe. If Gu Zhiqing lives in my house, it will be absolutely safe. My house has high walls and it is a home for martyrs. You can rest assured to let Gu Zhiqing live here. Just live in the room where my eldest son used to live!" Qin Guizhi said enthusiastically.
"Aunt Guizhi, didn't you just say that you were afraid that Lu Jingze would have no place to live when he came back?" Li Mingzhong was full of doubts.
"I have a utility room at home. You can live there when you come back. How can a young man like you fight with a girl for a room? From now on, that room will be Gu Zhiqing's room! Don't worry, Captain!"
Lu Jingze, who was far away in the army, sneezed twice in succession!
Who scolded him??!
Li Mingzhong: That’s not what you just said! You’re too fickle!
Li Mingzhong didn't react for a moment. Qin Guizhi thought that Li Mingzhong was still hesitating and continued, "Captain, I dare say that there is no better place in our village than my family. Gu Zhiqing looks like a fairy. If she lives in someone else's house, she will be noticed! It's too unsafe! My family is different! There are only Jing'an and I at home. As you know, my eldest son is in the army all year round and has not come back for the New Year in recent years!"
"Okay, okay, I'm just worried about this. If I really live in your house, I will be relieved. However, Aunt Guizhi, I want to discuss something with you. Tomorrow I will let Gu Zhiqing find you and say that she found you herself. You also know the rumors these past two days, so I'd better avoid suspicion. These educated youths are very noisy!"
Li Mingzhong implicitly expressed that other educated youth were prone to mischief, so just let the two of them contact each other, and he just needed to nod!
After Li Mingzhong and Qin Guizhi made the deal, they went home contentedly.
What Li Mingzhong didn't know was that after returning home, Qin Guizhi quickly cooked a meal and sent Gu Jingan to wash the dishes.
Taking a rag and a basin of water, she cleaned Lu Jingze's room thoroughly, and Qin Guizhi threw Lu Jingze's things into the storage room!
Seeing the newly renovated house, Qin Guizhi's eyes were filled with smiles.
If Li Mingzhong saw this scene, his heart would definitely beat fast. Qin Guizhi was so enthusiastic that it shouldn't be a problem for her to let Gu Zhiqing live in her house!
On the other side, Gu Xiaoqi didn't know that his move out of the educated youth center was a foregone conclusion, and was sleeping in the warm bed!
I had a good sleep last night. I was woken up by the crowing of a rooster in the morning, so I turned over and continued to sleep.
She doesn't have to cook today and plans to stay in bed.
I was taking a sound nap when I heard some laughter. I looked at my watch and it was time to get up.
She tidied herself up leisurely before entering the kitchen.
