Qi Mengmeng didn't stay in the cowshed for long. She left quickly after she finished talking about what happened. This time she came and put down some common medicines and a bottle of wine because she was worried that something might happen to the old couple during the time she was away.
As time entered the twelfth lunar month, Qi Mengmeng was concerned about Gu Guizhi's injury and wanted to discuss with him about going to Beijing for a follow-up examination.
Gu Guizhi just got married this year and then divorced. Normally, he had no leave, but he completed his tasks very well these two times and went to the hospital for a check-up, so he was granted three days of leave. Gu Guizhi calculated the time, took the evening train, changed trains, finished the check-up in Beijing, and could also go back to his hometown.
Qi Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she listened to Gu Guizhi's arrangements. That meant that they would have one day to go home and see Qi Huilan.
Gu Guizhi corrected her: "It's half a day."
I took the train back the night before and arrived in Beijing in the evening of the first day. After the examination on the second day, I immediately took the train and arrived home in the early morning. I stayed at home for half a day and took the afternoon train back.
The time is particularly tight, but can we at least squeeze out some time to go home?
Since coming to this world, Qi Huilan has been very good to Qi Mengmeng. They only met briefly in Beijing last time. Now that she has the opportunity to go back and see her, Qi Mengmeng of course wants to go back.
Gu Guizhi's expression was gentle: "Maybe we can spend New Year's Eve with Mom."
"What?" Qi Mengmeng's face was full of surprise.
Gu Guizhi nodded. The leave he applied for was before the New Year, which meant that they would spend New Year's Eve in their hometown and rush back on New Year's Day.
"But we have to spend New Year's Eve on the train, and we have to change trains." Gu Guizhi was worried that Qi Mengmeng would be afraid of the hardship.
Today's trains are slow and there are few direct trains. In order to squeeze out time to go back to his hometown, Gu Guizhi took great pains to make a timetable, but it required changing trains back and forth.
In order to avoid delays of the previous bus, you should leave enough waiting time.
Gu Guizhi really put a lot of effort into accompanying Qi Mengmeng home, so he will be very busy in the next few days as he has to finish all his work.
Qi Mengmeng made a list and prepared to go to the department store to buy some things for Qi Huilan and the others. If she bought them now and sent them over, they would be received almost before the New Year, so Qi Huilan wouldn't have to worry about it.
It snowed a few days ago, and the snow near the housing estate had been cleared, but Qi Mengmeng didn’t know what the situation was like in the city, so she didn’t ride a bicycle and instead took the bus at the gate of the housing estate.
Qi Mengmeng habitually went to Su Meng to see if there was any new wool. She wanted to buy some more wool. All the wool she bought some time ago had been used up. If there was any, she wanted to buy some more and knit a pair of woolen trousers for Gu Guizhi.
She definitely wouldn't wear that, but Gu Guizhi was outside every day, so it would be warmer if he wore an extra pair of woolen pants.
Su Meng winked at Qi Mengmeng, meaning to ask her to wait a moment.
After the people who were buying yarn left, Su Meng said something to her colleagues. She came out and happily took Qi Mengmeng's arm. "Sister-in-law, are you here to buy yarn? We just received a batch of defective yarn. I haven't received it yet. I'll take you to choose."
Qi Mengmeng followed her to the warehouse, and then looked at her clothes. She always felt that Su Meng seemed to have gained some weight.
Su Meng saw her scrutinizing look and her face immediately turned red. She covered her belly with her hands to hide it. Qi Mengmeng immediately reacted and asked in a low voice, "Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah, I just found out." Su Meng's voice was very low, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Qi Mengmeng immediately congratulated her. She didn’t know if it was the right season, but so many people were pregnant, Li Laidie was pregnant, and Su Meng was also pregnant.
"I have some dates. I'll give them to Li Zhuang when I get back. You can eat a few of them on a daily basis." Qi Mengmeng had a good impression of Su Meng and took the initiative to say so.
Su Meng's face was full of surprise, and he nodded continuously: "Thank you, sister-in-law. The doctor said that I have some anemia. Although I bought some brown sugar, these jujubes are really hard to buy."
Qi Mengmeng winked at her and said, "I have a way. Tell me when you've finished eating and I'll find a way for you."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you." Su Meng couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The two of them went to the warehouse, and Su Meng picked out the wool yarn with good color and quality, and gave a lot to Qi Mengmeng. She even gave the money without asking Qi Mengmeng to pay.
Qi Mengmeng didn't stop him and thought about going back to prepare more dates for Su Meng.
After buying the wool, Qi Mengmeng wanted to go look at the fabrics, so Su Meng went back first.
Qi Mengmeng wanted to see if there was any softer fabric and give some to Su Meng and Li Laidi.
In front of the counter, she seemed to see Zheng Yingying's boyfriend Sun Hui. He was choosing fabrics with another thin woman, and their postures seemed very intimate.
Qi Mengmeng frowned. She waited until the two of them left before going to buy the fabric.
She pointed to the fabric that the two of them had just chosen and asked the salesperson to get her some, and then took the opportunity to inquire whether such fabric was suitable for a newborn baby.
The salesperson nodded confidently: "Our fabric feels very soft and is most suitable for newborn babies."
The cloth that Qi Mengmeng saw was sky blue and could be used regardless of whether the baby was a boy or a girl. She asked the salesperson to tear off six feet of cloth for her and divide it into two parts.
The salesperson happily measured the fabric for Qi Mengmeng and issued an invoice.
Qi Mengmeng pretended to be curious and asked the two people just now if they were also buying fabric for their children.
The salesperson pouted, "They said their child was sick and in the hospital. They didn't have enough diapers, but they didn't want to buy more, so they bought one foot of cloth. One foot of cloth is enough for many things."
"Are those two a couple?" Qi Mengmeng was a little surprised.
The salesperson was even more surprised than she was: "I heard them talking about their son. What else could they be but a couple?"
Qi Mengmeng forced a smile and took the cloth.
She was a little confused. If Sun Hui and that woman were a couple and had a son, then why would Sun Hui be dating Zheng Yingying and want to get married?
What is going on?
Qi Mengmeng thought about it and decided to go to the hospital. In case Sun Hui was really a marriage fraud, she had to tell Qi Zhijun.
If Zheng Yingying is not having a good life, Qi Zhijun will definitely be affected.
Qi Mengmeng thought it through and walked quickly in the direction where Sun Hui and the others had just left, hoping to catch up with them.
She was lucky enough to catch up with Sun Hui and the other man at the gate.
There were many pedestrians on the road. Qi Mengmeng had a big scarf on her head. Sun Hui did not recognize Qi Mengmeng, so they walked one after the other all the way to the hospital.
The two entered the hospital and stayed in the lobby for a while. Sun Hui asked the woman what she wanted to eat for lunch. The woman said she wanted to eat meat dumplings.
Sun Hui asked her to go back to the ward to take care of her son first, and he would go back after buying some meat dumplings.
