Qi Zhijun and Liu Dajiang handled Meng Laosi's funeral together, and the body was kept at Qi Huilan's home.
The cemetery site had been chosen before, and it is next to Grandpa Qi's grave.
At that time, Grandpa Qi thought that Meng Laosi was dead, so he built a cenotaph for him. After Meng Laosi came back, Liu Dajiang hired someone to tear down the cenotaph.
Meng Laosi said some time ago that when he died, he would be buried in this location of the cenotaph, which was chosen for him by Grandpa Qi.
Qi Huilan cried at that time and asked him not to say anything unlucky. Now it seems that Meng Laosi was in a bad situation at that time.
Qi Mengmeng was the filial son who buried Meng Laosi. Originally, Li Laowu wanted to find a grandchild from his family to break the basin and beat the banner for Meng Laosi, but Qi Huilan did not agree.
When they were in the capital, Qi Mengmeng had already taken Meng Laosi's things. Now they were asking others to throw things overboard. They couldn't do such a thing.
Besides, Meng Laosi has only been back for a few months. If he wanted to adopt Li Laowu's grandson, he would have done it long ago, instead of waiting until his death to say nothing.
Li Laowu didn't originally want to take away Meng Laosi's things. He just felt that Meng Laosi had no children and couldn't leave alone. Since Qi Huilan didn't want to, it was fine.
Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan had the same idea on this matter. They didn't care about Meng Laosi's things, but since Meng Laosi had already given the things to Qi Mengmeng and asked Qi Huilan to call Qi Mengmeng back, it meant that he recognized Qi Mengmeng.
Under such circumstances, it is feasible for Qi Mengmeng to be a filial son to Meng Laosi.
Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan agreed on this matter, and no one else said anything.
The Qi family does not have many relatives in the local area, and given Qi's grandfather's status at the time, not many people came to pay their respects. There were only a few neighbors and colleagues who had a good relationship with Qi Huilan and Liu Dajiang.
Three days later, Meng Laosi was buried and Qi Mengmeng was about to prepare to go back.
Qi Huilan looked unhappy, but she forced herself to pack Qi Mengmeng's things.
"Mom, don't pack anymore. It's just a few pieces of clothes. I can pack them myself." Qi Mengmeng took Qi Huilan's hand and let her rest for a while.
Qi Huilan kept folding clothes. She went to the cupboard and took out a piece of cloth. She said with a choked voice, "This is what my fourth brother asked his friend in Beijing to buy for you."
"Fourth brother said that he couldn't take advantage of you. After eating so many good things from you, he had to buy you something. This fabric is perfect for making skirts. It's a pity that Fourth brother can't see it."
It was a piece of cloth with small floral patterns on a white background. It was very simple and elegant, and felt soft and comfortable to the touch. It was definitely not like the stuff in Andu.
"Fourth uncle is very good to me." Qi Mengmeng said this from the heart. She and Meng Laosi had never spent much time together, but as soon as they met in Beijing, Meng Laosi gave her all the family property and the things he had hidden.
Qi Huilan Mosuo held the cloth in her hand and said softly, "Back then, when my father brought my fourth brother back, he wanted to change his surname, but my father did not agree. However, he decided in his heart that he was a member of the Qi family."
In other words, the reason why Meng Laosi is so good to Qi Mengmeng is because she is the only descendant of the Qi family.
Therefore, Qi Huilan did not agree with Li Laowu's wish to have his grandson recognize Meng Laosi. If Meng Laosi really wanted a grandson that much, he would have told Li Laowu long ago.
Since Meng Laosi came back, Li Laowu has visited Meng Laosi several times.
Qi Mengmeng listened to Qi Huilan's past, nodding from time to time and occasionally humming.
It was not until Qi Huilan stopped talking that Qi Mengmeng put the piece of cloth on the clothes and put it into the bag.
"I will cut this piece of cloth and make clothes when I get back. When I come back, I will wear it for my fourth uncle to see."
Qi Huilan nodded vigorously, then looked outside and then looked at Qi Mengmeng's belly.
"Mengmeng, you and Guizhi..."
Qi Mengmeng knew what Qi Huilan meant. She shook her head and said, "Mom, Guizhi and I have discussed the matter of the child. Let everything take its course."
Qi Huilan asked worriedly, "Did you tell Fourth Brother that the child will have the surname Qi?"
Qi Mengmeng nodded confidently: "I have discussed this with Guizhi, and the second child will have the surname Qi."
When Gu Guizhi agreed to this, he didn't feel any psychological burden at all. He didn't even know whether he could have a child in this life.
As long as one of them has the surname Meng, it will be enough. If you are lucky enough and have two children, it is okay to have one of them with the surname Qi.
But in the eyes of the Qi brothers and sisters, this matter is very important.
One of the reasons why Grandpa Qi adopted several sons was because he had no sons, but Qi Huilan only gave birth to one child, a daughter.
Qi Huilan loves Qi Mengmeng very much, but she still feels a little regretful.
Now Qi Mengmeng has agreed to give one of her children the surname Qi, so that Qi Huilan will have no regrets.
Qi Mengmeng took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I bought two houses. How about you stay with me for a while?"
Qi Huilan shook her head: "I still have work to do, so I can't go there. Besides, your uncle Liu is usually busy, and I have to cook for her."
Although this answer was within Qi Mengmeng's expectations, Qi Mengmeng still wanted to fight for it.
"Mom, please take a few days off and stay over there for a few days. You haven't been over to see me get married yet."
It’s true that Qi Huilan has been in a bad mood these days, and Qi Mengmeng is worried.
Qi Huilan forced a smile and patted Qi Mengmeng's arm: "It doesn't make sense for a mother to live with her daughter. When you get pregnant, I'll go over and take care of you."
No matter what Qi Mengmeng said, Qi Huilan refused to go to Qi Mengmeng's place.
At this time, Liu Dajiang walked in from outside carrying a net bag.
"Mengmeng, this is what I bought for you. Take it with you and eat it on the train."
In the net bag were two barrels of milk powder, two barrels of malted milk, two boxes of snacks, White Rabbit milk candies, as well as canned fruit and canned meat.
Before Qi Mengmeng could say anything, Qi Huilan had already started packing the food into her bag: "You can't finish these on the train, so eat them slowly when you get back. I'll buy more and send them to you later."
"Your uncle Liu and I both have jobs, so we have more money than we can spend at home. You don't have to keep buying things for us."
Qi Mengmeng wanted to take out the milk powder, but Qi Huilan wouldn't let her.
"Mom, I have a job now and I have tickets. I'll keep these things for you and Uncle Liu to replenish your bodies."
Qi Huilan knew that Qi Mengmeng had a job, so she wrote a letter to praise Qi Mengmeng. However, Qi Mengmeng has not been hired as a regular employee yet and her salary is not high, so she wanted to give Qi Mengmeng more subsidies.
Qi Mengmeng had no choice but to accept the things, but before she left, she put 20 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of millet, 5 kilograms of dates, 5 kilograms of walnuts, and 5 kilograms of brown sugar into the kitchen.
If putting meat in there wouldn't easily arouse suspicion, Qi Mengmeng would have wanted to give a portion of everything in the space to Qi Huilan.
When Qi Huilan saw the kitchen full of things, her eyes immediately turned red. Liu Dajiang put his arm around Qi Huilan's shoulders and said, "Let's save more money for Mengmeng in the future."
