Chapter 171 I'm Back



Qi Mengmeng pointed to another bowl and said, "If you don't like bacon, I've also mixed some eggs and cabbage."

Qi Mengmeng prepared both meat and vegetarian fillings. Feng Lian went to wash her hands and came to help Qi Mengmeng make dumplings.

After putting all the buns in the pot, Feng Lian discovered that the millet porridge had already been cooked in the pot next to it. She opened the pot and took a look. The millet porridge was thick, with dates in it, and it gave off a sweet aroma.

Qi Mengmeng asked Feng Lian to watch the pot while she went back to the room to see if Lei Lei had gotten up.

Feng Lian smiled and nodded. Qi Mengmeng had almost finished preparing breakfast. She just needed to cut some pickles and she could have breakfast.

When Qi Mengmeng returned to the room, Lei Lei was rubbing his eyes. Qi Mengmeng smiled and gave him the clothes.

Lei Lei threw himself into Qi Meng Meng's arms: "Mom, I dreamed about you."

"Oh, really?" Qi Mengmeng nodded with a smile and wanted to help him put on his clothes, but was rejected by Lei Lei, who said he could put them on himself.

"What did you dream about me doing?" Qi Mengmeng asked, looking at him from the side.

Lei Lei paused while putting on his clothes, then shook his head: "I can't remember."

But he remembered that he was very happy in his dream.

"It's okay if you can't remember. Just get dressed and go have breakfast. The buns will be ready soon, and there's also millet porridge."

Qi Mengmeng said as she tidied the bedding.

"Did your mother wrap it?" Lei Lei looked at Qi Mengmeng with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, there are meat buns and egg ones. Go brush your teeth quickly. When you're done, the buns will be ready."

While talking, Qi Mengmeng had already folded the quilt and accompanied Lei Lei to brush his teeth and wash his face.

At this time, the buns were already steamed. Feng Lian just opened the lid of the pot and saw the plump buns lying next to each other in the pot, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Leilei leaned towards the pot and said, "It smells so good. I'm going to eat more today."

Qi Mengmeng was afraid that the steam would burn him, so she asked him to wait outside while she went to serve the porridge.

The porridge and buns were served on the table. Old Feng also got up. He looked at the buns on the table and asked Feng Lian, "Feng Lian, these buns look good today."

Feng Lian handed a bun to Mr. Feng and said with a smile, "Boss, this is not the bun I steamed. This is the bun Meng Meng steamed early in the morning. How do you like it?"

"Oh? Meng Meng steamed it, so she must have gotten up very early." Old Feng took the bun and took a bite, praising it, "This bun tastes good, and the meat inside seems to be very chewy."

Qi Mengmeng handed Lei Lei a bun and asked him to eat it slowly. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I put some bacon in it. I wonder if you can eat it."

Mr. Feng took another bite of the bun and ate it, then said with a smile, "I am a person who can eat anything."

Lei Lei whispered beside him: "Grandpa likes eating buns the most, I like them too."

Qi Mengmeng made about twenty buns, both meat and vegetarian. After the meal, they almost finished them. Even Lei Lei ate two.

When Lei Lei was about to eat the third one, Qi Mengmeng stopped him. He was young and if he ate too much at one time, he would easily get indigestion.

"If you like eating steamed buns, I'll prepare some stuffing later and ask Sister Feng to make steamed buns for you at noon."

Lei Lei touched his stomach and knew he couldn't eat any more.

After hearing what Qi Mengmeng said, he subconsciously said, "I like to eat the buns made by my mother."

Qi Mengmeng had a trace of embarrassment on her face. She had to catch a train soon and was afraid that she would not have enough time to make dumplings for Lei Lei. All she could do was prepare the filling.

Lei Lei's face was full of disappointment. He whispered, "Mom, are you leaving soon?"

Qi Mengmeng didn't want to lie to the child, so she nodded and said, "We only took three days off this time. We'll take the train today to go back and see my mother, and we'll be back tomorrow."

In fact, Mr. Feng had already told Lei Lei about this in advance, but Lei Lei was still a little disappointed.

Qi Mengmeng thought about it and prepared to make a few pies for Lei Lei.

You don’t have to wait for the dough to rise before making pies. You can make pies with hot dough.

After listening to Qi Mengmeng's thoughts, Mr. Feng sighed in his heart that Qi Mengmeng really loves Leilei.

Qi Mengmeng took out some of the black fungus and vermicelli she brought and soaked them in hot water.

She was going to make noodle soup pies with black fungus, cabbage, vermicelli and eggs. She had made it before and as long as the seasonings were right, it would taste very delicious.

The Feng family didn't have enough seasoning, so Qi Mengmeng took advantage of their inattention and added some seasoning from the space.

Qi Mengmeng made a total of twelve pies, each of which was as big as an adult's palm.

Because they had just finished their meal, Lei Lei and Mr. Feng each tasted a small piece, and Hu Daqing ate the remaining half. They all agreed that the pie was better than the bun.

Qi Mengmeng explained with a smile that it was because the pie was spread with oil, but in fact, it was because there was enough seasoning in it.

After making the pies, it was almost time to leave. Lei Lei's eyes immediately turned red. Qi Mengmeng hugged Lei Lei and promised him that when the weather got warmer, she would let him stay over for a while. After coaxing him a few more words, Lei Lei felt less sad.

Hu Daqing was holding a big bag in his hand and said that it contained the New Year gift that Mr. Feng had prepared for Qi Mengmeng.

Qi Mengmeng looked at Mr. Feng, who immediately said, "You brought us so many things. These are our return gifts. You can't refuse them."

"I didn't say no." Qi Mengmeng smiled at Mr. Feng, waved to them, and got in the car.

Leilei shouted from under the car: "Mom, when the weather gets warmer, I'll come over to see you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Take good care of yourself and grandpa at home. I'll write to you when I get back." Qi Mengmeng said a few more words and felt her nose sore. She urged Hu Daqing to drive.

Saying goodbye again and again will only make you feel more sad.

Qi Mengmeng couldn't help but look back. Lei Lei and Mr. Feng were still standing at the door. Her tears fell and she quickly wiped them away.

Gu Guizhi held her hand and said nothing.

The nature of Gu Guizhi's job means that he doesn't have that many holidays. Qi Mengmeng knew this when she chose to marry him.

The main reason is that the current transportation is underdeveloped and it is inconvenient to go anywhere. Qi Mengmeng knows that if she just endures for a few more years, she will be able to travel everywhere without a letter of introduction sooner or later.

Hu Daqing sent Qi Mengmeng and the others onto the train. This time they did not check in any luggage, but carried several large bags into the hard sleeper compartment.

They were lucky this time, as they bought two lower berths, and the berths above them were empty. This train can go directly to Ando City.

They got off the train at around seven in the evening.

Because the train schedule was changed, there was no one outside to pick them up, and the two of them walked for more than half an hour before they got home.

Although all the things were on Gu Guizhi, Qi Mengmeng still felt tired.

In the dark, she knocked on her door.

"Mom, I'm back."
