Old Feng was very surprised. He didn't expect them to be so anxious. Lei Lei even held Qi Mengmeng's hand tightly and said, "Mom, please stay a few more days."
Qi Mengmeng patiently said to Lei Lei: "Dad still has work to do, so we can't stay in Beijing forever. But when Lei Lei is free later, he can come visit us, okay?"
Mr. Feng immediately understood that Gu Guizhi was anxious to go back.
He had already learned about Gu Guizhi's condition from Doctor Sun, and reminded him to take care of his health after returning home and not to overwork himself. He didn't say anything else.
People who have come out of the war years value work more than anything else. Mr. Feng even thinks that Gu Guizhi's approach is correct.
Although Lei Lei was reluctant, he had been taught by Mr. Feng since he was a child, and he had heard a lot from Mr. Feng before coming this time. He knew that Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi were leaving and that could not be changed, so he held Qi Mengmeng's hand tightly.
Qi Mengmeng also felt a little bit reluctant, so she asked Mr. Feng for advice and planned to take Lei Lei to the park for a walk in the afternoon.
Lei Lei immediately smiled and looked at Old Feng: "Grandpa, can I go to the park with Mom and Dad?"
He had heard from other children in the compound that it was great to go to the park with their parents.
Mr. Feng looked at the expectation on Lei Lei's face and agreed without hesitation.
He told Qi Mengmeng his home address and asked them to send Lei Lei back home after visiting the park.
The two groups parted at the entrance of the state-owned hotel. Mr. Feng took Hu Daqing and Feng Lian home first, while Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi took Lei Lei to the park.
However, Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi had made an appointment with Li Jun's family to move their things home after lunch, so they had to go back.
They have already packed up their own things and just need to see that Li Jun's family is settled.
Qi Mengmeng took Lei Lei to the park first, and Gu Guizhi went back to see that Li Jun's family was settled and to pick up some things.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng somewhat aggrievedly. He also wanted to go to the park with Qi Mengmeng.
To be honest, it's quite scary for someone who always has a stern face to suddenly have this kind of expression.
Qi Mengmeng said soothingly, "Leilei and I will go to the park to wait for you. When you are done with your work, come and find us."
Because Leilei is young and doesn't have that good physical strength, of course we should take him out to play more while he has good physical strength.
Gu Guizhi also knew this truth, so he just hesitated for a while and then returned to the courtyard.
Qi Mengmeng took Lei Lei to a nearby park and bought two bottles of Arctic Ocean at the park entrance, one for each of them. Lei Lei's eyes narrowed as he drank.
"Mom, it's delicious."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "This soda is a little cold, drink it slowly."
Lei Lei smiled at her, stopped drinking, and held the soda in his hand.
The soda seller praised him, "What an obedient kid."
Lei Lei leaned closer to Qi Mengmeng. Ever since the last kidnapping incident, he had become more wary of strangers.
Qi Mengmeng nodded to the old man and took Lei Lei into the park.
The newly-married mother and son were admiring the blooming flowers in the park, while Lei Lei chattered about the history of the park.
Qi Mengmeng listened to him with some amusement, and praised him from time to time: "Leilei knows a lot." "Leilei knows all this."
Leilei spoke even more excitedly, his little mouth chattering non-stop all the way.
The two of them walked around for an hour, and Qi Mengmeng pulled him to the bench and asked him to drink some water before talking.
Lei Lei drank half a bottle of soda in one breath. He was really thirsty.
Qi Mengmeng was a little amused. She looked at her bag and took out an apple from it: "Just drinking soda won't quench your thirst. Eat an apple."
Lei Lei took the apple and held it to Qi Meng Meng's mouth: "Mom, eat first."
"Mom is not thirsty, this is for Leilei." Qi Mengmeng shook her head. There were plenty of apples in her space, and she didn't want to snatch them from the child.
Lei Lei insisted that Qi Mengmeng take a bite before he would eat it.
Qi Mengmeng had no choice but to take a small bite. Lei Lei then happily started to eat, saying, "Mom, this apple is delicious."
What she took out was an apple from the space, of course it was delicious.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and coaxed Lei Lei: "You are with your mother now, so you think everything tastes good."
Lei Lei thought about it and nodded: "Yeah, everything tastes good when I'm with my mom."
Qi Mengmeng touched Leilei's little nose and felt that after not seeing him for a while, he became more talkative than before.
Lei Lei finished eating the apple, looked at the lake in front of him, looked at Qi Meng Meng, and asked hesitantly: "Mom, can we go boating?"
Rowing? Qi Mengmeng looked around. The lake was quite large, and she didn't know if there was any place for rowing.
Lei Lei said to Qi Meng Meng happily: "Mom, I know where I can rent a boat. Uncle Hu and I saw it when we came here."
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to spoil Lei Lei's fun, but now it was almost time for the appointment with Gu Guizhi.
"How about we go to the door to pick up dad first, and then go boating?" Qi Mengmeng discussed with Lei Lei.
"Okay." Lei Lei agreed without even thinking about it.
The two of them walked leisurely to the door and waited for a few minutes. Gu Guizhi came over with two bags.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Qi Mengmeng handed him a handkerchief and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We can wait for a while."
Lei Lei also handed the soda in his hand to Gu Guizhi and asked him to drink it.
Gu Guizhi looked at Lei Lei's reluctant eyes, smiled, and raised the kettle in his hand: "I don't like soda, I just drink water."
He then raised his kettle and took a long sip.
Lei Lei was young after all, and after seeing Gu Guizhi's actions, he thought that he really didn't like drinking soda, so he happily took the soda bottle.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and shook her head, and accompanied Gu Guizhi to put the bag in her hand at the park management office. The three of them walked towards the place where Lei Lei mentioned boating.
At this time, the staff of the management office were still relatively responsible. Things would generally not be lost if they were left there. Of course, there were no valuables in the two large bags that Gu Guizhi put down.
All the money and bills in their family were on Qi Mengmeng, and Gu Guizhi only had some change on him.
Lei Lei excitedly took them to the boating area, and Gu Guizhi rented a hand-rowed boat.
Qi Mengmeng held Lei Lei's hand and helped him get on the boat, reminding him that he could not get up and could only sit on the boat obediently.
Lei Lei stared at Gu Guizhi and nodded continuously.
Gu Guizhi simply let Lei Lei sit in front of him, held his hand and slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.
Today is a weekday and not many people come to row boats. Apart from them, there is only one small boat on the lake. An old couple is sitting on the boat. The two of them are sitting quietly in the boat, seemingly in a daze.
Qi Mengmeng even took a special look at it. She didn't expect that there would be elderly people who were interested in this.
Gu Guizhi rowed forward a few hundred meters with Lei Lei, and then started rowing back. When passing another small boat, Qi Mengmeng discovered that there was no one on the boat.
