Qi Zhijun didn't know what Zheng Meili was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't buy it.
Zheng Meili hesitated for a while but ultimately did not say anything. After all, Zheng Yingying was only her niece, and she was worried that Qi Zhijun would not agree to buy a house for her niece.
But she had something on her mind and couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned all night.
Qi Zhijun certainly noticed it, and when Zheng Meili turned over again, Qi Zhijun said, "I have asked someone to inquire about the situation in advance, don't worry."
In order to reassure Zheng Meili, he expressed his guess: "I think Le Kangtai is a simple and honest person. He looks like an honest child. There should be no problems at home."
After hearing this, Zheng Meili became even more worried, but she couldn't object openly, so she could only laugh dryly: "I know, go to sleep."
Two days later, when Qi Mengmeng went to the state-owned restaurant to buy food after get off work in the evening, she saw Le Kangtai and Zheng Yingying again.
The two people were very close to each other, each with a serving of dumplings in front of them. They ate and talked, and seemed to be talking about something happy. Zheng Yingying's eyes narrowed with laughter.
When Qi Mengmeng came in, her eyes met Zheng Yingying's.
The smile on Zheng Yingying's face did not change at all. She stood up and greeted Qi Mengmeng: "Sister Mengmeng."
Le Kangtai also stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Qi, what do you want to eat?"
Qi Mengmeng smiled at them and said, "I got off work a little late today, so I decided to come over for a bite to eat."
Le Kangtai has been with Zheng Yingying for some time and has learned about his family's interpersonal relationships. He knows that Qi Mengmeng is Qi Zhijun's biological daughter, so he treats Qi Mengmeng very well.
While Qi Mengmeng was talking, someone else had already walked to the window and turned to ask Qi Mengmeng: "Comrade Qi, what do you want to eat? Dumplings are ok?"
Qi Mengmeng hurried over. Food was in short supply and everyone was having a hard time. She didn't want to eat Lecontai's food for no reason.
Zheng Yingying grabbed Qi Mengmeng and whispered, "Sister Mengmeng, Teacher Le is my girlfriend, it's okay to treat you to a meal."
Qi Mengmeng had originally guessed that the two were dating, but she was surprised that Zheng Yingying would admit it so readily.
On the other side, Le Kangtai was still waiting for Qi Mengmeng's answer, but Zheng Yingying had already said on Qi Mengmeng's behalf: "Sister Mengmeng, do you want to eat dumplings too?"
Qi Mengmeng was held by Zheng Yingying and it was difficult for her to break free, so she had no choice but to agree, "I'll have vegetarian dumplings."
Le Kangtai ordered a plate of vegetarian dumplings and scrambled eggs with green onions for Qi Mengmeng. He waited at the window for a while, and then a plate was brought up in each hand.
"Comrade Qi, if you don't like meat, just eat some eggs." Le Kangtai pointed the egg side towards Qi Mengmeng, and picked up another egg for Zheng Yingying with his chopsticks.
Zheng Yingying gave Le Kangtai a reproachful look and said, "People say they eat vegetarian food to save you money. You fool, you think they don't like to eat meat."
Le Kangtai looked at Zheng Yingying happily and whispered, "Yingying, if you don't like it, I'll buy something else."
Zheng Yingying knew that Le Kangtai's family was from the countryside and that they had to send five yuan home every month, so the two of them usually ate in the cafeteria and only occasionally went to the state-owned restaurant for a meal.
There was already a dish on the table, so how could she ask him to buy other dishes just because she didn't like it?
Zheng Yingying also picked up an egg for Le Kangtai with chopsticks: "You eat it too."
Qi Mengmeng watched the interaction between the two with a smile on her face. She could tell that Le Kangtai was a really simple person. There was light in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Yingying. He must really like Zheng Yingying.
This time, Zheng Yingying was not wrong about the person.
Zheng Yingying looked up and saw Qi Mengmeng's gaze, then she remembered that there was someone in front of her. She said to Qi Mengmeng with embarrassment, "Sister Mengmeng, you eat too."
Qi Mengmeng picked up a vegetarian dumpling and put it in her mouth, with a smile in her eyes as she watched Qi Mengmeng and Le Kangtai interact.
Today’s vegetarian dumplings are made with cabbage and vermicelli, but they are filled with lard, so they taste good and you can taste the sweetness of the cabbage.
Qi Mengmeng usually eats a lot of meat, so it feels good to eat dumplings like this occasionally, especially when there is a pair of lovers in front of her with pink bubbles popping out.
Zheng Yingying has a small appetite and couldn't finish a serving of dumplings. She wanted to pick a few for Le Kangtai, but Le Kangtai didn't let her. It was not until Zheng Yingying finished her meals that Le Kangtai ate the remaining dumplings.
Qi Mengmeng didn't show it on her face, but she was full of surprise in her heart.
Logically speaking, she was considered Zheng Yingying's family, and Le Kangtai could even think of buying her food and vegetables to please her, but he ate leftovers in front of her...
Le Kangtai finished the dumplings on the plate and ate a few chopsticks of green onions. When he looked up and saw Qi Mengmeng's gaze, his heart skipped a beat.
He was used to eating Zheng Yingying's leftovers, and for a moment he didn't remember that Qi Mengmeng was there too.
Leconte's cheeks flushed slightly, and he tried to explain: "I don't want to waste it."
Qi Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, saving is a virtue."
Zheng Yingying also nodded: "It can't be wasted."
After both of them said this, the embarrassment in Le Kangtai's eyes faded a little.
Qi Mengmeng hadn't finished the dumplings on her plate. She thought for a moment and said to Zheng Yingying, "Yingying, I haven't finished these dumplings yet. Can I take them home?"
Zheng Yingying nodded immediately. The dumplings were originally bought for Qi Mengmeng, so of course she could take them back if she couldn’t finish them.
Qi Mengmeng put the remaining dumplings into the lunch box and reminded Zheng Yingying to put away the uneaten eggs on the table.
Of course Zheng Yingying brought a lunch box, but since it was for Qi Mengmeng, she was embarrassed to pack it up.
"Sister, take this egg home and eat it. It's just the right size for your lunch box."
Qi Mengmeng quickly put away her lunch box, smiled and shook her head: "These dumplings are enough for me to eat. If I put eggs in them, I won't be able to finish them in one meal. Please serve them up."
Having said this, Zheng Yingying didn't refuse anymore. She put the remaining green onions and eggs into the lunch box.
There is a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions on the table. Each person only took a bite of it with their chopsticks. Now there is still half of the plate left. If we buy two steamed buns for lunch tomorrow, we can still have a meal.
Everyone put away their lunch boxes and walked towards the door together.
At this time, it was getting dark and almost dark. Le Kangtai took out a flashlight and said to Zheng Yingying, "Yingying, it's getting dark. Let's take Comrade Qi home."
Although Qi Mengmeng said that it was okay for her to go home alone, Le Kangtai and Zheng Yingying were still worried, so she had no choice but to let Le Kangtai and Zheng Yingying take her home.
Le Kangtai and Zheng Yingying both lived in the school dormitory. They sent Qi Mengmeng back and then returned to school together.
The two of them sent Qi Mengmeng to the door of her house. Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "It's late today, so I won't keep you here. I'll invite you over for dinner next week when you have a day off."
