Qi Huilan smiled bitterly, her lips trembling, and said, "Ge Tiezhu has always wanted a son. I don't want to have one, so he can only find someone else to have one."
Originally, she wanted to hide something for Ge Tiezhu, but Ge Tiezhu not only wanted the Qi family's house, but also wanted to push the divorce issue onto her, so why should she hide it for him.
If you have the courage to do it, you must have the courage to admit it.
"What?" Luo Xiangxiang's hair stood on end. "Ge Tiezhu is looking for someone outside? Look at you, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? If I had known, I would have found someone to beat him up."
Luo Xiangxiang's parents are both working, her two brothers are workers and one brother works for the government. As the only daughter in the family, she never suffers any bullying.
Qi Huilan held Luo Xiangxiang and said, "Keep your voice down."
Luo Xiangxiang also knew that divorce was not an honorable thing now, but she still felt sorry for Qi Huilan. She lowered her voice and said, "Speaking of which, it's all Qi Zhijun's fault. If he hadn't disappeared that year, how could you have married Ge Tiezhu?"
Qi Huilan's expression changed instantly. She lowered her head, clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and said in a faint voice, "Let's not talk about the past."
Luo Xiangxiang also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She pulled the corner of her mouth and added: "In fact, your life is pretty good. You still have Mengmeng. I think Mengmeng is very filial. Your good days are still ahead."
Qi Huilan twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing more.
Luo Xiangxiang didn't dare to say anything else. She looked around and, using the excuse that there was a patient, ran to the ward as if escaping.
Qi Huilan put away the smile on her face. She knew that Luo Xiangxiang meant no harm, but there were some things she didn't want to mention again.
After receiving the divorce certificate, Qi Huilan did not feel sad, but just empty and uncomfortable, so she did not want to talk much.
After Qi Mengmeng came out of the hospital, she went to the state-owned restaurant.
Gu Guizhi had already ordered the dishes and was waiting for her. Qi Mengmeng walked over quickly, sat down, and said a little embarrassedly, "Did you wait a little too long?"
"I just got here too." Gu Guizhi pushed the soda on the table towards her: "It's hot, drink some soda to cool down."
Qi Mengmeng took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her head, picked up the soda and took a big sip, and indeed she felt much more comfortable.
"There's no braised fish today, so I ordered braised pork for you." Gu Guizhi handed her the chopsticks.
It’s all meat anyway, Qi Mengmeng is not picky, and the best dish made by state-owned restaurants is braised pork, which tastes amazing.
Qi Mengmeng didn't hesitate. She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After swallowing it, she realized that Gu Guizhi had been staring at her. She swallowed the meat in her mouth, touched her face, and asked, "Are there rice grains on my face?"
"No." Gu Guizhi shook his head, "I eat too fast."
He heard from his comrades that when eating with female comrades, they should try to let them eat first, otherwise they would eat too fast and the other party would have nothing to eat.
Qi Mengmeng found Gu Guizhi's explanation a little funny: "There are two dishes on the table, eat them together, and go buy more if they're not enough."
She thought for a moment and added, "I brought food coupons."
"I have it too, so you don't have to pay for it." Gu Gui said subconsciously.
"Why don't you eat quickly? Aren't you tired after walking around for the whole morning?" Qi Mengmeng gave Gu Guizhi a reproachful look.
The portions of rice served in state-owned restaurants were usually quite large, so Gu Guizhi ordered two large bowls of rice. She would only eat half a bowl at most, and the rest would be given to Gu Guizhi, so that he would always be full.
Qi Mengmeng guessed that the situation that Gu Guizhi just described might be that the two people ordered fewer dishes, and the man ate fast and didn't notice that he had eaten all the dishes.
Gu Guizhi then started to pick up the dishes. At the beginning, he paid attention to the speed, but then he went faster and faster, which made Qi Mengmeng speed up as well.
The last time I ate so quickly was when I was in high school. It only took me ten minutes to walk out of the classroom, get the food, and eat.
Qi Mengmeng had to eat at the same speed as before to barely catch up with Gu Guizhi.
It was only when Gu Guizhi discovered that Qi Mengmeng was not eating the vegetables and was only focused on eating that he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Qi Mengmeng quickly put down the bowl and smiled at Gu Guizhi who was holding the bowl: "I'm the first one to finish eating, hiccup, hiccup..."
Too much joy leads to sorrow, Qi Mengmeng started to hiccup uncontrollably.
Gu Guizhi quickly stood up and wanted to burp her, but as soon as he put his hand on her back, he noticed that everyone eating in the state-owned restaurant was looking at him, so he withdrew his hand.
Even if they were to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, they were not husband and wife today.
He thought for a moment, walked to the food window, and asked the waiter to help him get a bowl of water.
"Drink some water, and maybe you won't hiccup anymore." Gu Guizhi handed the water to Qi Mengmeng.
"Um, burp," Qi Mengmeng wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it. It was too embarrassing.
She buried her face in the bowl and began to drink the water in small sips.
A smile flashed in Gu Guizhi's eyes. He didn't expect that Qi Mengmeng would be so fun when she grew up.
Qi Mengmeng finished drinking a bowl of water and slowly felt it. She found that she was no longer burping and the blush on her face faded a little.
"I bought dumplings for Aunt Qi. Shall we send them over now?" Gu Guizhi raised the lunch box in his hand.
Qi Mengmeng nodded quickly and stood up. She felt that everyone in the hotel was looking at her, which was so embarrassing.
When they arrived downstairs at the hospital, Qi Mengmeng brought the lunch box upstairs herself.
Qi Huilan asked her to discuss the wedding banquet with Gu Guizhi and see whether they should notify Gu Guizhi's uncle.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head: "Gu Guizhi said that there is no need to inform his uncle, because he is busy in the fields and has no time to come. You can arrange the wedding banquet. Once the time is confirmed, he will inform Uncle Liu."
Qi Huilan thought for a moment and said, "If you get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning, then we can set up a table at the state-owned restaurant for lunch, invite your aunt Luo's family, and your uncle Liu, and we can have a meal together."
At this time, it is not popular to have a grand wedding, and Qi Huilan has just divorced, so some people are very taboo about this, so they only invite close people to dinner and give a few pieces of candy to others.
Qi Mengmeng was more familiar with Luo Xiangxiang and Liu Dajiang, so she nodded cooperatively: "I'll discuss this with Gu Guizhi later."
Qi Huilan reminded Qi Mengmeng to go home and pack up her things. She and Ge Tiezhu had already arranged to change houses, and it was estimated that the father and daughter of the Ge family would have to move today.
Qi Mengmeng nodded in understanding. Although there was not much at home, it couldn't be given to Ge Tiezhu and his daughter for free.
She still remembered that if it weren't for Ge Wenling, she wouldn't have come here.
Qi Huilan wanted to say a few more words when a patient called her. She told Qi Mengmeng not to get into conflict with them and left in a hurry.
Qi Mengmeng squinted her eyes and went downstairs, wondering what kind of gift she should prepare for the Ge family father and daughter to repay them for their "care" over the years.
