The two of them strolled around for an hour, went back to the courtyard to get the things they had prepared for Lei Lei, and then went to the state-owned restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the dishes written on the small blackboard and wished she could buy a little of each.
Or maybe it’s because Beijing is so big that there are many state-owned restaurants. This is the third state-owned restaurant they have been to in Beijing.
Just as Gu Guizhi was about to ask Qi Mengmeng what she wanted to eat, Hu Daqing walked out of the private room.
"Comrade Qi, Comrade Gu, here you are."
Qi Mengmeng withdrew her gaze and followed Hu Daqing to the private room.
Leilei was the first to rush over: "Mom, I miss you so much."
Qi Mengmeng also smiled and said, "I miss you too, so now as soon as I have time, I will come to see you."
Leilei smiled immediately, and Qi Mengmeng greeted Mr. Feng: "Hello, Grandpa Feng."
Mr. Feng nodded, asked them to sit down, and said, "Leilei can call you mom. I'm definitely older than your parents, so you can just call me uncle."
These words carried a lot of weight, and Feng Lian looked at Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng had already figured it out, so she naturally wouldn't support a big boss's show of goodwill. She smiled and called out, "Hello, Uncle Feng."
Gu Guizhi also shouted, "Hello, Uncle Feng."
"Okay, everyone is fine. Daqing, go and ask them to serve the food." Old Feng said to Hu Daqing beside him.
Hu Daqing immediately stood up and left. Feng Lian followed suit and said, "I'll go with Daqing."
Mr. Feng nodded and agreed.
Qi Mengmeng took the bag from Gu Guizhi, took out a red cloth and put it on the table, and then took out milk slices, beef jerky, and various snacks...
Mr. Feng only glanced at the food and didn't take it to heart. He looked at the red cloth and asked Qi Mengmeng, "What is this?"
"I got this by chance. We don't need it for now, so I'm giving it to Uncle Feng."
Mr. Feng opened it and took a look. He was very surprised to find that there was ginseng inside, but it should not be very old.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Guizhi's eyes. He never knew that Qi Mengmeng had this thing on her.
He felt that this thing didn't seem to be given by Qi Zhijun or Qi Huilan, and was probably bought by her herself.
Mr. Feng only took a look and covered it with a cloth, then handed it to Qi Mengmeng: "Keep this thing."
Qi Mengmeng pushed it back: "Uncle Feng, we don't need this thing yet, so I'm giving it to you. Since we have become godparents with Lei Lei, we will be family members in the future. You should take good care of yourself, watch Lei Lei grow up, and then choose a good wife for him in the future."
Mr. Feng was a little hesitant. He had never accepted anything from others in all these years.
Qi Mengmeng took out the clothes she bought for Lei Lei from her bag and tried them on Lei Lei.
"Leilei, this is the dress I bought for you, do you like it?"
"I like it." Leilei nodded happily, took the clothes and tried them on himself twice, then asked Old Feng: "Grandpa, do you think I look good in this dress?"
"It looks good." Old Feng looked at Lei Lei's smiling face and put away the red cloth on the table.
He also hopes to see the day when Leilei grows up.
When Qi Mengmeng saw him accept the ginseng, she said happily, "Uncle Feng, these two ginsengs are not very old. You can use them as you like. I will send them to you next time I see them."
These two ginseng plants were not bought by her. They were bought by her best friend and given to her, and then exchanged for a lot of wine in her house.
She wasn't sure how old the ginseng was, but judging by its size, it couldn't be very old, maybe fifty years at most.
Elder Feng was shocked by her words and whispered, "My health is still good, so I don't need these things for now. Don't take any risks."
It is not easy to buy ginseng in pharmacies nowadays. Mr. Feng guessed that the ginseng was bought on the black market. Although he had never been there, he had heard of it. If Qi Mengmeng was caught for buying this thing, he didn't know whether he should rescue her.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and did not explain the source of the ginseng. She pointed at the milk slices and beef jerky and said, "Uncle Feng, keep these milk slices for you and Leilei. Meat is hard to buy now, and there is not much meat jerky."
Now Mr. Feng believed that Qi Mengmeng had gone to the black market, otherwise where would she have gotten these rare things.
He looked at Gu Guizhi and said, "You should take good care of Xiao Qi. I heard that you will be promoted to deputy regiment commander when you return this time. If you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will find a solution."
Gu Guizhi was also surprised when he saw what Qi Mengmeng took out. Naturally, he understood what Mr. Feng meant. He immediately stood up and assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Feng. I will take good care of Mengmeng."
"Sit down, sit down. I told you to call me Uncle Feng." Old Feng was quite nice to Gu Guizhi and asked about his usual training.
Gu Guizhi sat up straight as if he was being inspected by his leader, and answered questions in a serious manner.
Compared to this, Qi Mengmeng was much more relaxed. She grabbed a few milk slices for Lei Lei, put them in front of him, and let him eat them.
Leilei ate milk tablets for the first time, and his eyes lit up: "Mom, these milk tablets taste the same as milk powder."
This milk tablet is one of Qi Mengmeng's favorite snacks. Although it contains some additives, relatively speaking, it contains the most milk powder.
"If you like it, eat a few every day. When you finish, I will send you more." Qi Mengmeng handed Lei Lei another piece.
Lei Lei paused for a moment. He glanced at Mr. Feng before asking in a low voice, "Can I go home with my mother?"
Qi Mengmeng looked at Lei Lei's expression and knew that his idea did not meet with Mr. Feng's approval.
"Leilei wasn't home for a while. Grandpa must have missed him. Leilei, why don't you stay at home with grandpa for a while and come to my place when you are free later?"
Qi Mengmeng coaxed Lei Lei and took another piece of beef jerky and let him taste it.
Although Leilei was unhappy, he felt better after being comforted by snacks.
Mr. Feng had finished talking to Gu Guizhi, and Qi Mengmeng took the opportunity to tell him what she and Gu Guizhi had discussed.
In the future, Lei Lei can live in two places, so that he can develop feelings with Qi Mengmeng and his wife, and accompany Mr. Feng.
This was actually what Mr. Feng was planning. Now after listening to Qi Mengmeng's words, he felt that the mother he found for Lei Lei was really good.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement on Lei Lei's future lifestyle, and Hu Daqing and Feng Lian brought back the meal.
At the dinner table, Qi Mengmeng carefully picked out the bones from the braised fish before putting it on Lei Lei's plate. Mr. Feng nodded continuously.
Qi Mengmeng complained in her heart that this braised fish had too many bones. She decided not to let Lei Lei eat this when he came to see her next time. It was too troublesome, but she was also afraid that if the bones were not removed cleanly, they might prick his throat, which would be troublesome.
The meal took more than an hour to finish, and Mr. Feng invited Qi Mengmeng and others to his home.
Qi Mengmeng politely declined, saying that they had already bought tickets for the evening train.
