What is this? Qi Mengmeng frowned when she heard it.
Li Pandi had already sat down next to Qi Mengmeng. She carefully looked at Qi Mengmeng's face and said with some jealousy, "Mengmeng, you look so good. You don't feel tired at all from work."
"I feel okay." Qi Mengmeng didn't know what Li Pandi meant, so she got up and poured her a glass of water.
Li Pandi took the water cup and drank it all in big gulps. Then she wiped her mouth and let out a long sigh: "This water is really sweet."
Qi Mengmeng just put a spoonful of brown sugar into the water.
"Mengmeng, let me tell you, I asked my aunt for a secret recipe for having a baby, do you want to copy it?"
Li Pandi looked around first, then moved closer to Qi Mengmeng and said mysteriously.
"What secret recipe?" Qi Mengmeng didn't understand for a moment.
"What's there to be ashamed of? You've been married for almost a year and still don't have a child. Deputy Captain Gu, don't worry. I heard that this secret recipe is very effective. As long as you take it for a period of time, you will definitely have a baby. If you're lucky, you can even give birth to a boy."
Li Pandi looked down at her belly, her eyes full of anticipation: "I'm just hoping to give birth to a boy."
Qi Mengmeng then understood what medicine Li Pandidi was talking about. She didn't know whether the medicine was real or not, but she was not in a hurry to have a child, so naturally she didn't need it.
"I'm not in a hurry to have a baby for now." Qi Mengmeng said honestly: "Medicine is poisonous, I don't plan to take it."
Li Pandi waved her hands nonchalantly: "Many people have taken this medicine, it must be fine. If it were someone else, I would definitely not give it to you. Didn't you save me in the past? Why don't you make a copy?"
Li Pandi took out a piece of paper folded into a square from her body and handed it to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng had only heard of this kind of medicine before, but had never taken it. Out of curiosity, she took it and opened it to take a look.
There was a small piece of paper with the names of various medicinal herbs written on it. Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows. This was a Chinese medicine prescription.
"I'm afraid this medicine is hard to buy." Qi Mengmeng reminded Li Pandi.
Nowadays, when people are sick, they usually take Western medicine. Most Chinese medicine practitioners have gone into hiding and are unlikely to come out for consultation. It is not easy to buy Chinese medicine.
Speaking of this, Li Pandi had no choice. This house was brought by Aunt Xu from her hometown, and the older generations used to take Chinese medicine.
"I have a way to buy it. Do you want to buy it?" Li Pandyi looked at Qi Mengmeng with anticipation. She hoped that Qi Mengmeng would take the medicine with her.
Although she got married late, Lin Jianjun already had two sons and did not have much hope of having another child.
Qi Mengmeng has been married longer than her, and Gu Guizhi is an orphan. She thought that Gu Guizhi must have wanted a child for a long time, so she urged Qi Mengmeng to take the medicine with her.
But unexpectedly, Qi Mengmeng was not in a hurry to have a child, and didn't want to take medicine.
Li Pandi wanted to persuade her, but Qi Mengmeng refused directly: "Pandi, we are not in a hurry to have a child, and I don't want to take Chinese medicine. If you want to have a child, you should go to the hospital first."
This secret recipe may not be suitable for everyone.
But Li Pandi wouldn't listen. She had taken care of Lin Jianjun's son for several months and was eager to have a child of her own, so she wouldn't listen to anyone.
"Since you don't want a child, forget it." Li Pandi carefully took the paper from Qi Mengmeng's hand, folded it up and put it in her pocket.
"Come back to me when you need me later."
Qi Mengmeng wanted to say that she would not take this kind of recipe, but Gu Guizhi walked in from outside.
Li Pandi stood up immediately: "I have something else to do at home, I'll leave first."
Qi Mengmeng sent Li Pandi away, and when she came back, Gu Guizhi asked, "Just now I heard her say that she wanted to go find her. What is she doing here?"
Qi Mengmeng did not hide anything and told Li Pandidi that she had a secret recipe for having a child.
Gu Guizhi shook his head: "Mengmeng, don't listen to her nonsense. Most of those prescriptions have some problems. It's even worse if you damage your body."
Qi Mengmeng certainly knew this truth, and she would definitely not take those prescriptions. She was not in a hurry to have a baby, so why would she take such prescriptions?
Gu Guizhi carefully looked at Qi Mengmeng's expression and felt relieved when he knew that she was really not in a hurry to have a child.
He thought that if they still didn't have a child after a year, he would spread the news that his injury would prevent him from having children, so that others wouldn't say anything in front of Qi Mengmeng.
He called Dr. Sun a few days ago, and Dr. Sun told him to go to the military hospital to get new medicine to regulate his body. As for when he would be able to have a child, he would just let nature take its course.
"Don't worry, I won't take medicine casually. Are you done with your work? If you are, let's go back to the city and clean up the house. Will dad and the others come over later?"
Qi Mengmeng saw Gu Guizhi in a daze and pushed him.
Gu Guizhi reacted quickly and said, "I've finished my work, let's go back. Dad has something else to do, so we may have to wait until later."
"Then let's go now." Qi Mengmeng had already packed up everything. She could just hang the clothes in the yard on the clothesline. It wouldn't rain anyway, so she could just put them away when Gu Guizhi came back tomorrow.
Qi Mengmeng hung the bag of clothes on the handlebars of the bicycle. Most of the clothes in the bag were her clothes, as well as the piece of cloth that Gu Guizhi had just given her.
She planned to take it to the city and find a tailor to make a coat so that she could wear it warmer.
Gu Guizhi rode his bicycle and took Qi Mengmeng to the city. He put the bag in the house first and then went to buy meat.
Qi Mengmeng went to Master Li's house. Master Li was also resting at home today. He had promised to treat them to a warm-pot meal, and today was just the right time.
Master Li was sitting in his yard drinking tea. When he heard that Qi Mengmeng was going to invite him and his wife to dinner, his eyes narrowed.
Zhao Xiaocao subconsciously refused: "We can just eat at home."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "We agreed at the beginning that Master and his wife would warm the pot for me. My dad will also be here later, so Master can't refuse."
Master Li knew that Qi Mengmeng's father was the head of the group, and he was a little hesitant at this time, but after Qi Mengmeng's repeated invitations, he agreed.
When Zhao Xiaocao saw that Master Li agreed, he went to his kitchen and took out the cabbage, potatoes, radishes and other things from the kitchen.
"Mengmeng, you just arrived, and there may not be any food at home. Do you think these dishes are enough for dinner?"
"That's enough, Master's wife." Qi Mengmeng did not reject Zhao Xiaocao's kindness. The dishes were not expensive anyway.
Qi Mengmeng said that she wanted to go buy some things first and ask the two people to come over later. Zhao Xiaocao simply washed all the vegetables she had just taken out at home.
Qi Mengmeng walked around outside and brought back a piece of pork ribs and a piece of beef, preparing to make pork ribs stewed with potatoes and beef in soy sauce.
When Gu Guizhi came back, his face was full of surprise: "Where did you buy this? Why didn't I notice it when I bought the meat just now?"
