Chapter 298 We Are So Good

Qi Huilan grew up in a wealthy family and only suffered some hardships during the war years, but she had no shortage of money, so she did not attach much importance to money.

All the Qi family's property was given to Qi Mengmeng, and Qi Huilan only spent her salary, but she felt very happy.

"Mengmeng, I'll buy some meat tomorrow and I'll cook it for you."

Qi Mengmeng shook her head. It was not that she was reluctant to see Qi Huilan work hard, but she felt it would be a waste of food.

Of course, this cannot be said openly.

"Mom, I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Let's go see Xiaoman." Qi Mengmeng changed the subject.

Qi Huilan's attention was indeed diverted: "It just so happens that I can bring the clothes I made for Xiaoman's son over tomorrow."

While eating, Qi Mengmeng was thinking about what method she should use to make Qi Huilan give up cooking for her.

Thinking about going to work in the afternoon, Qi Mengmeng couldn't come up with a good idea, but she felt that the power of maternal love should be able to make the food taste better.

But when it came time for dinner, she decided to take back her words. Motherly love was great, but it really couldn't make the food taste better.

It was Qi Huilan’s first time cooking spicy dishes, so she didn’t dare to cook meat. She only made scrambled eggs with chili peppers and spicy tofu.

However, the scrambled eggs with chili pepper only had spicy taste but no fragrance, and the spicy tofu only had spicy taste on the surface of the tofu.

Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng expectantly: "Mengmeng, what do you think of the taste of this dish?"

Qi Mengmeng ate a piece of tofu, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

Although she likes spicy food, she doesn't like food that is only spicy but not fragrant.

Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng's expression, the anticipation on her face slowly faded, and she murmured, "Isn't it delicious?"

She looked at the two dishes, picked up a piece of fried eggs with chili pepper and put it in her mouth.

A second later, she quickly picked up a piece of rice with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It was really spicy.

Gu Guizhi took the initiative to say, "Mom, you can't eat this dish, I'll make you something else."

Qi Mengmeng glanced at Gu Guizhi. He was smart. She couldn't eat this dish either.

Gu Guizhi quickly realized what Qi Mengmeng meant, but in front of Qi Huilan, he couldn't say that the food Qi Huilan cooked was not delicious.

Qi Huilan wanted to force herself to eat, but Qi Mengmeng had already moved the two dishes to the side.

Gu Guizhi moved quickly. He made a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and brought over a bottle of hot sauce.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes were placed in front of Qi Huilan, and the hot sauce was handed to Qi Mengmeng.

Qi Mengmeng ate spicy tofu with hot sauce. The tofu mixed with hot sauce tasted much better.

Gu Guizhi ate the dish of fried eggs with peppers along with rice.

From the actions of the two, Qi Huilan realized that the meal she cooked might not be satisfactory, but her cooking skills were just that level, so she planned to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy food, at least Qi Mengmeng could cook a meal that was tasty to her.

The next day they went to Yu Xiaoman's house. Qi Huilan ate the meal prepared by Yu Xiaoman and felt that her decision the day before had been too hasty.

What’s a state-owned restaurant? Compared with Yu Xiaoman’s cooking skills, they’re nothing.

Qi Huilan and her daughter took the things to Yu Xiaoman's house.

Hunzi had already gone to work, and only Yu Xiaoman and his son were at home. When Yu Xiaoman saw the two of them, he immediately got out of bed.

Qi Huilan pushed her back: "Xiao Man, go back and lie down quickly. You can't be exposed to the wind."

Yu Xiaoman’s confinement period has not yet been completed, but she can no longer sit still because the weather is getting hotter and hotter and she can’t sit still on the bed.

"Auntie, please let me get out of bed and walk for a while. I have been lying in bed all day."

Yu Xiaoman was still a little embarrassed in front of Qi Huilan, but he had a lot to say to Qi Mengmeng.

"Meng Meng, you don't know, as long as Hunzi is at home, he won't let me get out of bed, he just lets me lie on the bed. I want to get out of bed and move around, but he says it's bad for my health. I want to wash my rings, but he says it hurts my hands. I want to cook, but he doesn't agree. I'm too tired from sitting in bed during the confinement period."

Yu Xiaoman is a hardworking person, so she was asked to lie in bed all the time. It was okay in the first few days, but more than half a month has passed and she really can't hold on any longer.

Qi Mengmeng listened to Yu Xiaoman's complaints, and then looked at the smile on her face. She felt that she was just showing off, blatantly showing off.

"Okay, I know that the gangster is good to you, so stop showing off." Qi Mengmeng looked at Yu Xiaoman and smiled, which made Yu Xiaoman blush.

"I came to see the little guy. Hey, he's awake and playing by himself. He knows his mother is talking, but he has no brains at all."

When Qi Huilan heard the two people talking, she turned her head to look at the child on the bed and found that the child was lying there, moving his hands and feet but making no noise.

Yu Xiaoman glanced at his son lying next to him and spoke more.

"Luckily this boy is considerate, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to lie down often during this confinement period. At first I asked Hunzi if he was stupid because he looked so quiet, but after trying it twice, I found that he was smart."

Qi Mengmeng didn't ask Yu Xiaoman how he tried it, but she knew from Yu Xiaoman's expression that he must have done something bad.

"It's a blessing to have an obedient child. It shows that the child is filial." Qi Huilan interrupted after hearing Yu Xiaoman's words.

Yu Xiaoman nodded and said, "This child hums when he pees and poops, and when he's hungry. He's not noisy at other times, and he's very considerate."

A guess suddenly popped up in Qi Mengmeng's mind: Could it be that this child still has his previous memories?

She moved closer to the child, observed him carefully, and called him a few more times. The child just moved his hands and feet and smiled occasionally. He looked no different from an ordinary baby.

Qi Mengmeng thought she was overthinking it and teased the child a few more times.

Yu Xiaoman was sitting next to her, looking at Qi Mengmeng's belly. "Speaking of which, our two families are really destined to be together. I gave birth to the child, and you found out you were pregnant."

"The baby must have chosen us to be his mothers because he saw how good we are."

These were the words Qi Mengmeng used to say to comfort Yu Xiaoman, but she didn't expect Yu Xiaoman to take them seriously.

Although Qi Huilan didn't understand what Yu Xiaoman said, she nodded and said, "Xiaoman has a good temper, and she gave birth to a boy. The child is so obedient, and there will be more blessings in the future."

Yu Xiaoman looked at her son on the bed, her eyes full of happiness. She only hoped that her son would grow up healthy. As for other things, she didn't think too much.

Qi Huilan nodded. As a mother, she just hopes that her children can grow up healthy.

Although the Qi family is not as wealthy as before, as long as Qi Zhijun and Gu Guizhi's positions are not demoted, no one will be able to touch Qi Mengmeng in the future.

Perhaps it was fate, Qi Huilan and Yu Xiaoman actually got along very well, and Yu Xiaoman even went out to cook for them personally at noon.

Qi Huilan quickly stopped him: "You are still in confinement after childbirth, how can I ask you to cook? I will do it, I will do it."

Qi Mengmeng, who had not planned to speak, quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me cook."
