Peng Li chuckled and said, "If you don't like it, wear it for now. I'll take you to buy a new one when I have time."
Meng Zhenzhen pursed her lips, said nothing, and sat there eating.
She felt that Peng Fei was a problem.
I oppose her every day.
She just wanted his father to divorce her.
Seeing that Meng Zhenzhen was a little angry, Peng Li smiled and handed her fifty yuan.
"You work hard every day, here's some money for you. Your family needs it too, so take it!"
Meng Zhenzhen didn't say anything, but Peng Li placed the money next to her.
The family ate their meal in silence.
Li Dawang has been taking care of his son these past few days.
He and Zhang Hongmei started seeing each other more often.
This was the day the child was discharged from the hospital.
He went to pick up the child early in the morning.
Aunt Li, all smiles, took her son to thank Zhang Hongmei.
After saying a few comforting words, Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "It's alright, Auntie. We already know each other, it's nothing."
"You should go back quickly! The child needs to rest and recover."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Dawang, you take us back first, and when you have time, you can treat Hongmei to a meal."
“Hongmei has been very responsible for the child these past few days, which is our way of thanking her.”
Zhang Hongmei repeatedly refused.
Li Dawang nodded and left with his child and mother.
Zhang Hongmei......!
This is just her job; there's no need to thank her or treat her to a meal.
If everyone did that, she wouldn't even have time to eat.
never mind.
Perhaps they were just being polite.
After all, the families of discharged patients will usually exchange a few polite words.
She didn't take it to heart.
Then I went to work.
She just didn't expect that Li Dawang would actually come the next day at noon.
"Li Dawang, what are you doing?"
Li Dawang carried a large bag of fruit and food and asked someone to call her out.
Li Dawang scratched his head: "My mother told me to come and thank you!"
Zhang Hongmei was stunned. She thought it was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect it to actually happen.
"How is the child? Take all these things back!"
“I have everything here. The child is growing and needs these things.”
Li Dawang smiled and said, "I've already bought the child's. This one is especially for you."
"Take it back. I'll wait for you at the door. I'll treat you to lunch."
After he finished speaking, he placed the items on the table next to Zhang Hongmei.
Then he turned around and left.
Zhang Hongmei never expected him to actually do it.
Looking at the things on the table, my colleague asked gossipily.
"Sister Mei, who sent you this?"
"He's tall and strong, and looks good."
"Is it your boyfriend?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head: "No, don't talk nonsense, it won't be good if others hear it."
Since she said that, no one could say anything more.
Zhang Hongmei put the things away.
I noticed it was already noon.
"Well, I'm going back to eat now."
She left after she finished speaking.
Li Dawang waited for a while, and then Zhang Hongmei came out.
He chuckled and said, "I thought you weren't coming out, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!"
"Did it affect your work?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head: "Actually, there's no need to be so polite. You should leave! It wouldn't be good if someone saw us like this."
Li Dawang smiled and said, "It's only right. If it weren't for you, the child wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"
"It's just a meal, are you scared?"
Zhang Hongmei had no choice, since she and Li Dawang already knew each other anyway.
It's nothing to have a meal together.
The two of them then went to the state-run restaurant.
Li Dawang gentlemanly wiped the table and chairs for her before letting her sit down.
"Please sit down! I've cleaned it all up."
Zhang Hongmei instantly developed a good impression of him.
Back in the village, everyone did farm work, except for those who were rotten and oily, which were easy to spot.
Everything else is pretty much the same.
Unexpectedly, Li Dawang changed completely after arriving in the city.
It seems that Meng Zhenzhen really is not blessed.
What made her think that she would divorce Li Dawang?
Judging from Li Dawang's clothes and appearance, he is obviously doing quite well.
Even the children and Aunt Li were dressed quite nicely.
While she was lost in thought, Li Dawang came over and asked her what she wanted to eat.
"Comrade Zhang, what would you like to eat? What do you like to eat?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky about food. You can make whatever you want, but don't make too much, it'll be a waste if the two of us can't finish it."
Li Dawang nodded and went to order food.
"Braised pork belly, braised spare ribs, and a dish of bok choy with tofu."
Three dishes should be enough for them.
He ordered two more bowls of rice.
He was afraid that one bowl wouldn't be enough, and that people would be too embarrassed to ask for a second bowl, so he made sure to serve the rice very generously.
He pressed it down hard with the rice spoon.
The waiter rolled his eyes.
He placed two bowls piled high with rice in front of Zhang Hongmei.
"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Zhang Hongmei's eyes widened in disbelief; she was certain this was for her.
She pushed herself towards Li Dawang, a little embarrassed.
"This is too much, I can't eat it."
Li Dawang: "Then you eat this bowl first, and we'll talk about it if you can't finish it."
Zhang Hongmei had no choice but to take it and eat it.
Li Dawang thoughtfully took out a small bowl and put some of the food into it.
"I see that's how other young girls eat, it must be pretty good?"
