Qi Weidong looked at Ying Xixi with his deep eyes, and when he heard her say the word "family", the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.
"Yes, the heart of the family should be at home."
“So there was too little furniture in the house, there was only a single bed, which was not enough for the three of us to sleep in, and there were not enough cupboards, chairs, or tables.
I originally wanted to ask Sister Li to help me find someone who knows carpentry to make furniture, but Sister Li said that your carpentry skills are also good, so she asked me to wait for you to come back and let you make time to do it. Can you make these furniture?
Qi Weidong nodded immediately, "Okay, of course I can, a man can't say no!
Leave these to me, and see what you need. I can make most of the wooden items, and you can buy the rest in town or in the county."
Ying Xixi agreed and began to count the things missing at home, and Qi Weidong memorized them one by one in his mind.
The two of them sat and chatted until it got dark.
Guigui covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, "Mom, Guigui is sleepy and wants to sleep."
Ying Xixi suddenly realized that it was getting late and it was almost time for Guibao to go to bed.
"Mother, take your precious baby to wash her face and feet."
Ying Xixi clapped her hands and reached out to take the little girl from Qi Weidong's arms.
The mother and daughter went to wash up. Qi Weidong got up and walked into the bedroom, and saw the single bed where he had slept alone.
In addition to his pillow, there was also a small pillow.
Just by looking at these two pillows, he could imagine the scene of the mother and daughter snuggling together and sleeping on this single bed these past few nights.
Qi Weidong felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but more than that, his heart seemed to be burning.
His wife and daughter were sleeping and resting in his single bed.
His wife and daughter...
He has a wife and a daughter...
He didn't know if his bedding smelled bad. He remembered that he had just changed it a few days before he went on a mission, so it shouldn't be dirty or smelly.
Fortunately, he likes to be clean and takes a shower every day.
In his previous home, even when he was the only one living there, he would clean the house and not make a mess.
His wife and daughter shouldn't dislike him.
When Ying Xixi finished washing up and came over with Guigui in her arms, she saw the tall Qi Weidong standing at the door of the room, staring at the single bed in a daze.
"Qi Weidong?"
Ying Xixi called out to him in confusion.
Qi Weidong came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.
Ying Xixi didn't think much of it. "There's only one single bed at home, which isn't enough for the three of us. How about you go and stay at a single gay man's house tonight?"
Qi Weidong thought the same thing. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find some wood to make the bed tomorrow. I have three days off after I return from my mission."
"Okay, there's not much firewood left at home."
Ying Xixi was talking to Qi Weidong, while Guigui, nestled in her arms, raised her little face and looked at her father and then at her mother.
In a baby voice, he asked, "Mom, Dad, why don't you sleep with us? We can squeeze into that bed."
Ying Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Baby, look at that bed, it's so small. Your dad is so big, the bed is not even big enough for him to sleep on, let alone us.
Wait until your dad makes a big bed, then you can sleep with him, okay?"
Guigui said with a disappointed tone, "Okay, then, Guigui will sleep with mom and dad."
Ying Xixi and Qi Weidong subconsciously looked at each other because of Guigui's words.
Then the two of them remembered something and looked away at the same time.
There seemed to be an indescribable emotion spreading in the air.
The next morning, the mother and daughter, both still sleepy, smelled the aroma of food as they came out of the room, and subconsciously followed the scent to the kitchen.
The stove in the kitchen was steaming, and the aroma of meat made the mother and daughter swallow their saliva.
Hearing the noise, Qi Weidong turned around and saw the mother and daughter with confused faces, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"I made some meat buns and cooked some porridge. Come and have some after you wash up."
The sunlight outside shone through the window and fell on Qi Weidong. He was bathed in the sunlight, which amplified the gentleness emanating from his body.
Ying Xixi, who was still half asleep, became even more dazed after watching this scene.
The family of three sat around the table eating the meat buns and porridge that Qi Weidong had made for the first time.
Ying Xixi took a bite and her eyes lit up.
“It’s delicious!”
It’s fatty but not greasy, and the gravy bursts in your mouth when you take a bite, and it’s also a crispy bun!
"Good Seven!"
Guigui also agreed incoherently, holding the meat bun in her two little hands and eating it with grunts.
"As long as it tastes good, I learned this from the cafeteria chef. I've also learned other dishes, and I'll make them for you when I have time."
Qi Weidong spoke in a low voice.
He looked expressionless, but if you looked closely you could see the corners of his mouth were curved upwards.
Those deep eyes were filled with tiny smiles.
After eating and drinking, Qi Weidong started to work.
Ying Xixi had just told him last night that he had gotten the wood this morning and was ready to make the big bed first.
He was doing carpentry work in the yard, Ying Xixi was picking vegetables beside him, and Guigui also followed her mother to help pick vegetables.
Although the family of three didn't talk when they were together, the atmosphere looked very good.
"By the way, Qi Weidong, when are we going to take Guibao to the military hospital?"
What Ying Xixi was most concerned about was the little girl.
"You can go tomorrow. I've already said hello to Doctor Zhang."
"That's great, is this Doctor Zhang a doctor who can perform reconstructive surgery? Does he have any successful cases?"
Otherwise, the doctor I met wouldn't have been so decisive when talking about this matter. However, their surname is Zhang...
Does Dr. Zhang have a daughter?
Ying Xixi was a little curious.
"I hadn't specifically learned about the surgeries Dr. Zhang performed, but I've heard he's very skilled.
After you mentioned it last time, I specifically looked into it. The surgery Dr. Zhang performs is cleft lip and palate repair surgery.
Doctor Zhang seems to have two daughters, but I don’t remember their names. I don’t pay much attention to them.”
As he spoke, Qi Weidong had already made the frame of the big bed.
"The doctor I met last time was called Zhang Ying. He was very handsome, tall and thin. I wonder if she was Doctor Zhang's daughter."
Qi Weidong paused, "Zhang Ying, right? That should be Doctor Zhang's eldest daughter. I've met her."
When Ying Xixi heard this, she just wanted to sigh that the plot really revolved around the male protagonist.
She asked how she could have met such a kind doctor, and it turned out that he knew the male protagonist.
