Zheng Meili was worried that Qi Mengmeng would tell others that she didn't put away the things just now, but Qi Mengmeng said nothing and asked Zheng Meili to take good care of Qi Zhijun.
Zheng Meili nodded quickly and said that she would definitely take good care of Qi Zhijun.
Qi Zhijun noticed that Zheng Meili's attitude was different, but they left immediately and Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything, so he could only pretend not to know.
Qi Mengmeng waited until Qi Zhijun and the others got on the train before going back to work.
Although Qi Zhijun and his friends have left, Qi Mengmeng still goes back once a week.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, few people in the village go out to work. Qi Mengmeng can only go to bring food to Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling at noon.
Once, they were almost seen by the villagers, and Zheng Meiling was so scared that she asked Qi Mengmeng to stay away.
Qi Mengmeng asked Zhang Meiling and others to find a secluded place on the mountain. She would go there once a week to drop off things for the two elderly people.
This way they have less contact and can avoid being seen.
Zhang Meiling couldn't persuade Qi Mengmeng, so she could only find a place sheltered from the wind near the foot of the mountain.
Mr. Jiang dug a hole there and covered it with grass. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it.
Qi Mengmeng would deliver the food there and hide it at 11:30 every two weeks on Sunday, and Grandpa Jiang would go to get it before 12 o'clock.
In order to avoid being discovered, Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling took turns finding excuses to go over there. Fortunately, they usually worked hard and no one noticed.
As July was approaching, Qi Mengmeng received a letter from Lei Lei, saying that Lei Lei would come and stay for half a month at the end of July.
Qi Mengmeng had already told the Feng family her home address, so she planned to take Lei Lei to live in the city.
She calculated the time Lei Lei would arrive, and it was Sunday, so she could play with Lei Lei for a day.
This time, the people who brought Lei Lei here were Feng Lian and Feng Lao's new bodyguard Han Daqiang. As soon as the three of them got out of the car, Lei Lei threw himself into Qi Mengmeng's arms.
"Mom, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"
"I miss you. Of course I miss you." Qi Mengmeng answered Lei Lei with a smile, and greeted Feng Lian and Han Daqiang.
Han Daqiang was not familiar with Qi Mengmeng, so he just nodded, his attention focused on the pedestrians nearby.
Qi Mengmeng came here on a bicycle. She smiled at Feng Lian shyly and said, "We only have bicycles at home. Let Leilei ride the bicycle and I'll push Leilei. Can we walk back together?"
Feng Lian knew Qi Mengmeng's situation, so she naturally had no objection. There were not many families who could afford a car nowadays.
Qi Mengmeng took a few people home first. She had already ordered dishes from the state-owned restaurant before leaving, and now she just had to heat them up slightly.
After they returned home, Qi Mengmeng introduced the situation at home and settled Feng Lian in the next room.
Lei Lei held Qi Meng Meng's hand and said, "Mom, I want to sleep with you."
"Okay, you sleep with me." Qi Mengmeng smiled and tapped his little nose, then took him to the room and let him look around.
When he came out again, Han Daqiang had already put down the bag he had brought with him and said, "This is what the commander asked me to bring. I will come back to pick up Lei Lei in ten days."
Lei Lei pouted when he heard this. As soon as he arrived at Uncle Han's place, he started talking about going back.
Feng Lian then said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Lei Lei here."
When Qi Mengmeng saw Feng Lian, she guessed that she would stay, so she was not disappointed at all when she heard this. After all, she has to go to work now.
Han Daqiang nodded to the two of them and was about to leave.
"Wait, Comrade Han." Qi Mengmeng called out to Han Daqiang.
"I've already prepared the food. Even if you're in a hurry, you should have enough time to eat. Don't worry, it's all ready. You can just heat it up and eat it."
Han Daqiang frowned and said, "No, I can eat on the train."
"We have something ready at home. It won't waste time. Leilei, tell Uncle Han to eat before leaving." Qi Mengmeng felt that it was really rude to let Han Daqiang drop someone off and then leave.
Lei Lei obediently said to Han Daqiang: "Uncle Han, you can stay and have dinner before leaving."
Feng Lian didn't know what Qi Mengmeng had prepared for her, but after being on the train for so long, she wanted to have a hot meal, so she also advised, "Da Qiang, you should stay and eat something."
Han Daqiang hesitated for a moment, and Leilei pulled him out. Qi Mengmeng said to Feng Lian, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go serve the food."
Qi Mengmeng quickly walked to the kitchen, heated up some oil in a pan, stir-fried tomatoes, and poured in hot water. She was going to make some stir-fried noodles. As for the other dishes, they could be eaten after just heating them slightly on the fire.
People nowadays still attach great importance to eating dumplings when getting on the bus and noodles when getting off.
Seeing Qi Mengmeng bringing out a few bowls of white noodles, Feng Lian was slightly surprised, but she quickly concealed it and went to the kitchen to help serve the bowls.
Except for the noodles which were made first, everything else was bought at the state-owned restaurant.
Braised pork, pork ribs stewed with beans, and fried eggplant, three dishes, all in large portions, plus a big bowl of noodles with eggs on top, the meal was really sumptuous.
Feng Lian and Han Daqiang were both very surprised. Feng Lian didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to prepare such delicious meals for them, and Han Daqiang didn't expect Qi Mengmeng's family was so well off. These meals were not cheap.
But Han Daqiang came just to see Feng Lian and Lei Lei off. He ate the food with big mouthfuls and didn't express any opinions.
Feng Lian did say a few polite words: "Mengmeng, thank you for your hard work in cooking so many meals."
Qi Mengmeng said honestly: "My cooking skills are a bit average. These are all bought from state-owned restaurants. You can also try the skills of our chefs here."
Leilei raised his little head and said: "The noodles my mom made are delicious."
Qi Mengmeng found it funny, which meant that Lei Lei had a mother filter for her.
With Lei Lei interrupting, no one else spoke. Everyone ate the noodles in their bowls. Qi Mengmeng kept asking Feng Lian and Han Daqiang to eat.
In the end, everyone finished eating several large plates of food and a pot of noodles. After repeated persuasion from Qi Mengmeng, Han Daqiang ate three bowls of noodles.
Leilei was still clapping his hands: "Uncle Han is awesome. I want to eat as much as Uncle Han in the future, and then I can grow up."
After not seeing each other for a while, Qi Mengmeng found that Lei Lei talked more and was too direct.
Han Daqiang's face was too dark to tell whether it was red or not, but his movements were stiff for a moment, which made Qi Mengmeng aware of his embarrassment.
Qi Mengmeng handed the eggs she had cooked while cooking noodles to Han Daqiang: "Comrade Han, keep these eggs for you to eat on the train."
Han Daqiang had already eaten and said he didn't want any eggs, but Qi Mengmeng said they didn't plan to eat eggs in the evening and the eggs would go bad if left out until tomorrow.
