Zheng Meili's face became even uglier. She grabbed Zheng Yingying's hand and spoke with a trembling voice: "Yingying, talk to mom, how far have you and Sun Hui come?"
When she asked this question, her mind was full of bad thoughts. What if, what if Zheng Yingying and Sun Hui... what should she do then?
Fortunately, although Zheng Yingying's face was pale, she still said the words that Zheng Meili expected.
"Mom, nothing happened between Sun Hui and me. At most, he just held my hand. Believe me."
Zheng Yingying has been warned by Zheng Meili since she was a child not to get too close to boys, so Zheng Yingying is very careful about this aspect.
Zheng Meili finally breathed a sigh of relief. She fell down on the bed and glared at Zheng Yingying: "You kid, it's okay. You looked so ugly just now."
Zheng Yingying said embarrassedly, "I am worried about Sun Hui. Why do you think my father doesn't like Sun Hui? Sun Hui has two brothers, and his elder brother already has a child. If I marry Sun Hui, he can take care of you together with me, how great."
Zheng Meili didn't know the reason either, so she asked Zheng Yingying to have a good rest and she went over to ask.
"However, you have to keep your distance from Sun Hui and wait until your father agrees." Zheng Meili reminded Zheng Yingying.
"Okay, I understand." Zheng Yingying nodded obediently and added, "Sun Hui has returned to his hometown. I can't see him even if I want to."
"Even if we meet, we have to keep our distance." Zheng Meili looked at Zheng Yingying seriously.
Zheng Yingying had no choice but to nod.
When Zheng Meili returned to the room, she saw Qi Zhijun leaning against the head of the bed, seemingly thinking about something. She went out and brought a basin of water and placed it on the ground.
Qi Zhijun's leg was injured a few years ago. When the weather got cold, he got used to soaking his feet in hot water every night. Zheng Meili would remember to pour him some water every day.
Qi Zhijun put his feet in the basin and let out a long sigh.
Zheng Meili sat down next to him and was silent for a while before asking, "Old Qi, do you think there is anything wrong with Sun Hui?"
Qi Zhijun shook his head: "No."
"Then why don't you agree to their marriage?" Zheng Meili was a little anxious.
"It's not that I disagree, I just feel a little anxious. Yingying has just started working, and Sun Hui is just an ordinary worker. If they get married now, where will they live? If they rent a house, can their salaries afford it?"
"Sun Hui only has his brother and sister-in-law at home. Once Yingying has a child, who will take care of the child?"
"Besides, you have to consider Sun Hui's relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, and also Sun Hui's character."
Qi Zhijun said these words truly for Zheng Yingying's own good. Although he would not leave all his connections and property to Zheng Yingying, Zheng Yingying had called him dad for so many years, and he also wanted to choose a reliable partner for Zheng Yingying.
Zheng Meili finally breathed a sigh of relief. She also came from the countryside and knew that most people in the countryside favored boys over girls. If Zheng Yingying had not fallen in love with Sun Hui first, she would definitely not agree to this marriage.
But now Zheng Yingying likes Sun Hui, and Sun Hui is willing to honor them both in the future, so this marriage is worth considering.
As for the practical problems mentioned by Qi Zhijun, she still had some savings. At worst, she could find a way to buy a small house in the city for Zheng Yingying as a dowry.
Of course, she planned this secretly and did not let Qi Zhijun know.
Houses in the city are not cheap. Qi Zhijun didn’t buy a house for his own daughter, but she bought a house for Zheng Yingying first, which was not good-looking after all.
Now knowing that Qi Zhijun had no problem with Sun Hui, she couldn't wait to go to Zheng Yingying's room and tell Zheng Yingying.
Anyway, Zheng Yingying will not turn 18 until April next year. Before that, let Sun Hui visit her more often and make Qi Zhijun happy, and everything else will be easy.
After Zheng Meili left, Zheng Yingying took out a head flower that Sun Hui bought for her and fell asleep happily.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and in the middle of the night, snowflakes began to slowly fall.
Qi Mengmeng was sleeping in the middle of the night when she suddenly woke up. She heard someone opening the door outside, and she sat up suddenly.
This is the military families' compound. Who is so blind as to dare to come here?
At this time, the door outside had opened and a dark shadow walked in.
"Who?" Qi Mengmeng's voice trembled a little as she picked up the flashlight at hand.
"It's me." The black shadow spoke. It was Gu Guizhi who came back.
"You're back?" Qi Mengmeng turned on the flashlight, and it was indeed Gu Guizhi.
"Why are you back at this time?" Qi Mengmeng put on her clothes, got out of bed, and lit a candle. "Is it cold outside? Have you eaten?"
"Don't come over. I'm cold and it's snowing outside. I'll just eat some biscuits later." Gu Guizhi went to the closet to get clothes.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the dirty clothes on Gu Guizhi and frowned. What kind of mission had he completed that he had to go home like this?
Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to go back to bed and lie down while he went to look for clothes.
"I'll go boil some hot water for you to take a shower, and then cook something to eat. You can't go without food in this kind of weather." Qi Mengmeng said as she walked out, first putting the kettle on the fire before going to the yard.
Sure enough, snowflakes were falling outside, and there was a light layer of snow on the ground. Qi Mengmeng went under the wall and brought back a bag of dumplings.
The weather is so cold, eating a bowl of boiled dumplings and drinking some dumpling soup will definitely warm you up.
Qi Mengmeng boiled another pot of water and started cooking dumplings.
Gu Guizhi found the clothes and came out. Qi Mengmeng asked him to wait a moment and went to wash them with hot water.
Although it can only be cleaned briefly, it will definitely be much better than it is now.
Gu Guizhi waited for the water to boil, fetched the water and the wooden bucket, and went to the side to wash up.
Qi Mengmeng cooked soup dumplings for Gu Guizhi and added an egg to them.
Although it was dark and she couldn't see clearly, Qi Mengmeng could tell that Gu Guizhi had lost a lot of weight. There was still food at home, so she had to give Gu Guizhi some supplements.
When Gu Guizhi changed into clean clothes and came back, Qi Mengmeng had already cooked the dumplings.
It was a big pot full of dumplings, with about forty or fifty of them.
Gu Guizhi held the big bowl and took a sip of the dumpling soup before starting to eat the dumplings. He ate very quickly and finished a bowl of dumplings in just a few minutes.
Qi Mengmeng stood up, Gu Guizhi asked her to sit down, and he went to serve the dumplings and poured a spoonful of hot soup into them.
Gu Guizhi put down his chopsticks only after he had eaten three bowls of dumplings.
There were only a few dumplings left that Qi Mengmeng had cooked. She couldn't help but ask, "How long have you not eaten?"
Gu Guizhi paused as he cleaned up the dishes: "From yesterday noon till today I only ate dry food."
"You didn't prepare anything to eat?" Qi Mengmeng found it unbelievable. How could they survive in such weather without eating?
"I ate some dry food." Gu Guizhi said seriously.
Qi Mengmeng: ...Okay, she won’t ask anymore.
Gu Guizhi urged Qi Mengmeng to go to the house and sleep. He washed the dishes and wanted to do the laundry.
Qi Mengmeng quickly pulled him back: "It's still snowing outside, let's talk about it tomorrow."
