After listening to Sun Hui's words, Qi Zhijun just nodded, but Zheng Meili was very moved.
"As long as you and Yingying are fine, we're fine with anything. Your uncle has a job, so we don't need you to support us."
Zheng Meili wanted to continue talking, but Qi Zhijun coughed and said, "Eat, eat."
Sun Hui also said, "Yes, let's eat."
Zheng Yingying picked up a chicken leg for Sun Hui. Sun Hui picked up the chicken leg in the bowl and gave it to Zheng Yingying. He glanced at Qi Mengmeng, did not touch the other chicken leg, and picked up a chicken wing for Zheng Meili.
Qi Zhijun nodded with satisfaction and put another chicken leg into Qi Mengmeng's bowl.
Qi Mengmeng ate her meal calmly. She had a clear idea of who she was; she came here just to eat.
Unexpectedly, she wanted to eat quietly, but others refused.
Sun Hui asked Qi Mengmeng where she worked?
Zheng Yingying smiled and said, "My sister is a military wife, so she doesn't have to work."
Sun Hui was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect my sister to be a military wife."
Qi Mengmeng felt very uncomfortable when Sun Hui called her sister. She glanced at Sun Hui and said calmly, "You are older than me, so you don't have to call me sister. Just call me Comrade Qi."
Sun Hui was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward for a moment. Zheng Meili frowned and glanced at Qi Zhijun.
Qi Zhijun said nothing. He felt that what Qi Mengmeng said was correct. Sun Hui and Zheng Yingying had not yet married, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to call her sister.
"Yingying is not old enough to get married. Even if you get married, it will probably be next year." Qi Zhijun said.
Sun Hui didn't know about this yet. He glanced at Yingying and said with a smile, "I thought Yingying was already eighteen years old."
Zheng Meili explained: "Yingying's birthday is in April, so she won't be eighteen until after the Chinese New Year."
People usually say that Zheng Yingying is eighteen years old because she is already working, but in terms of her actual age, Zheng Yingying is not yet eighteen years old.
Moreover, Zheng Meili didn't want Zheng Yingying to get married so early. She also wanted to find someone to inquire about Sun Hui's situation.
Zheng Yingying's face turned red. She looked at Sun Hui shyly before saying, "I, I don't want to get married so early."
Zheng Meili gave her a reproachful look. How could this child say such things at the dinner table?
Knowing that he couldn't get married soon, Sun Hui seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and started talking and laughing.
Qi Mengmeng was concentrating on eating. She only glanced at Sun Hui at the table and thought that this guy was very talkative and was also very good at coaxing people.
Zheng Meili and Zheng Yingying were coaxed into smiling faces by him. Zheng Meili called him "little grandson" all the time and asked him to come over for dinner whenever he was free. She even wanted to let him stay at her house tonight.
Qi Zhijun was still rational. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Sun has to catch a bus tomorrow, so it's not convenient for him to stay at home."
Zheng Meili was a little disappointed. Zheng Yingying looked at the sky outside and asked worriedly, "There are no cars at this time. How can we get back?"
Qi Mengmeng: ...Didn’t you think about this issue when you agreed to have dinner in the evening?
I don’t know if it’s because of preconceived ideas, but Qi Mengmeng always feels that Sun Hui is a little too active.
Sun Hui didn't look embarrassed at all. He looked at Zheng Yingying and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm wearing thick clothes, so I'm not afraid of the cold. I think it will take more than an hour to walk to the dormitory."
Qi Mengmeng: ...Why do I smell tea?
Zheng Yingying became even more worried after hearing what Sun Hui said. She looked at Qi Zhijun and said, "Dad, how about letting Sun Hui stay at home tonight? Mom and I can live in the same room."
Qi Zhijun was not moved at all. He said in a deep voice, "Meili, please take out the bicycle from home and lend it to Xiaosun. Let him ride it back, and let Yingying ride it back tomorrow."
Sun Hui's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stood up to thank Qi Zhijun.
Then I won't stay any longer, I'll go back first, uncle and aunt, I'll come to see you again before the New Year." Sun Hui politely said goodbye to Qi Zhijun and Zheng Meili, and nodded to Qi Mengmeng.
Zheng Yingying put on her coat and went to see Sun Hui off. Zheng Meili took the bicycle key and followed him downstairs. She also took a net bag, which seemed to contain malted milk and canned food.
Qi Zhijun also saw it, but didn't say anything.
Soon, only Qi Zhijun and Qi Mengmeng were left in the room. Qi Zhijun began to put on his clothes: "Let's go, Mengmeng, I'll take you home."
Qi Mengmeng nodded, put on her coat, and followed him out.
"Dad, why did you think of asking me to come over for dinner today?" Qi Mengmeng asked the question she wanted to ask tonight.
"You are dad's only daughter. Do you need a reason to come back to your own home for dinner?" Qi Zhijun's voice was very natural, but Qi Mengmeng understood what he meant.
He wanted to tell Zheng Meili and Zheng Yingying that his biological daughter was Qi Mengmeng, and Zheng Yingying should be ranked behind her.
But judging from the attitudes of Zheng Meili and Zheng Yingying, Qi Mengmeng probably didn't notice it.
As for Zheng Yingying's boyfriend Sun Hui, he may have seen through it, so he tried his best to please Qi Zhijun.
"Dad, have you ever known Sun Hui before?"
Qi Mengmeng felt that she should understand the situation of Qi Zhijun's family, so as to avoid any problems with Zheng Yingying's marriage in the future, which would affect Qi Zhijun's later life.
"You don't have to worry about this. Your Aunt Zheng and I will check it out." Qi Zhijun sent Qi Mengmeng home and watched her close the door before he went back.
Qi Mengmeng first looked at the dumplings in the yard. They were already frozen and could be put away tomorrow morning. She went back to the house to wash up and get ready for bed.
Qi Zhijun returned home with a frown on his face.
Zheng Meili and Zheng Yingying were talking in the room. When they heard the noise, they both came out.
Zheng Yingying went to take the clothes from Qi Zhijun's hand, and Zheng Meili poured Qi Zhijun a cup of hot water and put it on the table.
"Lao Qi, what do you think of Sun Hui?" Zheng Meili asked impatiently.
Zheng Yingying also looked at Qi Zhijun with anticipation.
Qi Zhijun took a sip of water before saying calmly, "Yingying is still young, there is no need to rush to get married for now, we can wait and see."
Zheng Yingying didn't understand. Zheng Meili knew Qi Zhijun, and this meant that he did not approve of the marriage between Sun Hui and Zheng Yingying.
"Lao Qi, Sun Hui, is there something wrong?" Zheng Meili asked this anxiously.
Zheng Yingying's face turned pale, and she trembled as she spoke: "No, that's not possible."
Qi Zhijun's expression was not good. He had some bad guesses in his mind and looked at Zheng Meili.
Zheng Meili's face looked even uglier, and she directly pulled Zheng Yingying into the house.
"Yingying, tell me the truth, how far have you and Sun Hui gotten?" Zheng Meili tried her best to lower her voice, but her impatience was very obvious.
Zheng Yingying's tears immediately fell, and she avoided Zheng Meili's sight: "Mom, what are you talking about? I, I didn't."
