Zhang Meng stuck out her tongue awkwardly and smiled sheepishly, "I was so happy that I forgot for a moment."
Gu Mingtai snorted softly. In order to prevent this little woman from hitting him again, he had to hold her hand tightly.
After the young couple finished talking about these things, they heard Grandma Zhang's voice outside calling them to have breakfast.
Now that everything has been resolved, the couple naturally has no reason to stay in this room any longer.
When they came out of the room, the family members were already sitting at the dinner table waiting for them.
"Mom!" As soon as the little zombie saw Zhang Meng's figure, his little mouth immediately pouted, and he jumped down from the chair and ran to Zhang Meng's legs and hugged her tightly.
"Wow, Mom, where have you been? I miss you so much. Why don't you come home?" Xiao Zhuang said while crying.
Zhang Meng looked at Grandma Zhang for help.
Grandma Zhang spread her hands and said helplessly, "Don't look at me. Even though this kid is the same age as Xiao Tao and the others, he's just hard to take care of. He's like a little baby, crying at the slightest provocation. I've been terrified of taking care of him these past two days."
Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu looked at the crying little zombie hugging Zhang Meng's breasts. The two little guys nodded together like adults and said, "That's right, nephew Xiao Zhuang is obviously the same age as us, but he always likes to cry. It's so annoying."
Seeing this, Zhang Meng understood a little bit about Xiao Zhuang's current situation. In fact, the little guy's mind probably hasn't kept up with the growth of his body.
Zhang Meng smiled, bent down, picked up the little zombie on the ground and comforted him, "Don't cry, mom is back, what's there to cry about? Look, your two uncles are laughing at you, are you embarrassed?"
When Xiao Zhuang heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu. After sticking out his tongue at them, he immediately turned his head back to Zhang Meng and leaned on her chest, "Mom."
"Okay, let's eat, eat. If you continue talking, the food will get cold." Monk Jingchen, who had been staring at breakfast, shouted.
Soon everyone sat down to eat.
Zhang Meng originally wanted to feed the little zombie, but the little guy insisted on eating by himself.
Halfway through breakfast, Grandma Zhang suddenly told me something. "By the way, not long after you two left the day before yesterday, a man and a woman came to visit you. They brought a lot of gifts and said they came specifically to thank you."
Zhang Meng didn't think much about the visitor and casually asked Grandma Zhang, "Grandma, did he tell me what their names were?"
Grandma Zhang took a sip of porridge, paused, thought for a moment, and quickly continued, "I remember now, they said their last name was Chen!"
Zhang Meng put down the spoon and immediately had an idea of what this man and woman were like.
"Look, those things in the corner were sent by them. I didn't touch them. Wait until you finish eating and take a look. If they don't want to accept them, just return them to them." Grandma Zhang said, pointing to the pile of gifts in the corner.
The family finished breakfast quickly.
After breakfast, Zhang Meng went to the pile of gifts in the corner and found that the gifts given by Mayor Chen and his wife were all quite valuable.
Zhang Meng found Gu Mingtai who was helping wash dishes in the kitchen. "Gu Mingtai, Mayor Chen and his family sent us some valuable gifts. Should we go over and thank them?"
After listening to the names of the gifts Zhang Meng mentioned, Gu Mingtai quickly said, "Go."
When the young couple was discussing in the kitchen what to send back to Mayor Chen's house, they suddenly heard Grandma Zhang's voice calling from the living room, "Xiao Meng, come out quickly, Yi Yi is here to see you."
When Zhang Meng heard this, she immediately walked out of the kitchen.
"Sister Xiaomeng, why did you come back just now!" As soon as she came out, Zhang Meng received a warm hug from Tang Yiyi.
Zhang Meng smiled and patted her arm. "Come on, stop being so cheesy. Be careful that your Captain Niu sees this and gets jealous."
Tang Yiyi blushed and twisted her body, saying, "Sister Xiaomeng, why do you like teasing others like Sister Liu and the others? If you continue like this, I will ignore you."
Zhang Meng smiled, took her hand and sat on the sofa, "I heard from my grandma about your marriage to Captain Niu. I wanted to come to see you, but I've been a little busy lately, so I postponed it. I'll give you your wedding gift now. Come on, follow me to the room." Zhang Meng took her hand and stood up.
Tang Yiyi grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Xiaomeng, let's talk about this later. I'm not afraid that you'll deny your debt. I came here this time to remind you of something!"
Seeing her serious expression, Zhang Meng had no choice but to sit back down. "What's wrong?"
Tang Yiyi immediately said angrily, "It's all because of the women in this building. They're so mean. Do you know that you brought a child back this time? Some people said they heard the child calling you mom, so some people started saying that the child must have been born by you and another man. Even more outrageous is that some people said it was left by Captain Gu's ex-wife. Don't you think those words are infuriating?"
After listening to this, Zhang Meng kept smiling, "So you are angry about these words, what's so good about it?"
Seeing that she was not angry but still smiling, Tang Yiyi anxiously asked, "Sister Xiaomeng, why are you still laughing here? Those people said such hateful things about you, aren't you angry?"
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "What's there to be angry about? Besides, some of their words were not wrong. The child did call me mom."
Seeing her dazed, Zhang Meng smiled even more happily, "But he's not Gu Mingtai's or mine. We picked him up while on a mission. I felt sorry for him, so I kept him with me. That child must have been without a mother since he was a child. Seeing how attentively I took care of him, he recognized me as his mother. That's it."
After hearing this, Tang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a look of relief, "So that's how it is! I'm scared to death. No, I have to tell those gossipy women about this so that they won't dare to spread such bad things about you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yiyi immediately stood up and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng shook her head and smiled, then pulled her back. "Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't had a good chat yet. Come on, sit down and let's talk. How have you been lately? After you married Captain Niu, that Zhang Lihua hasn't come to bother you again, right?"
Tang Yiyi immediately curled her lips and said with a fighting spirit, "If she dares to come, I will beat her up, humph."
Zhang Meng immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at her closely. "Alright, Tang Yiyi, after not seeing you for a few months, you're becoming more and more like the military wives here."
Tang Yiyi's face immediately turned red, and she gently pushed Zhang Meng, "Sister Xiaomeng, are you praising me or insulting me?"
Zhang Meng smiled and waved her hands, saying, "I'm praising you, praising you."
