Lei Lei saw Qi Mengmeng eating the bun, and then he happily took the bun and started eating.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Lei Lei eating with a smile on her face.
When Feng Lian came in from outside, she saw the mother and son sitting together. Lei Lei held the bun in his hand in front of Qi Mengmeng. Qi Mengmeng smiled and shook her head, asking Lei Lei to eat it himself. Lei Lei insisted on letting Qi Mengmeng take a bite before taking it back to eat.
Ever since Lei Lei was born, it has been Feng Lian who has been taking care of him. However, even at the best times, the relationship between Lei Lei and Feng Lian was not as good as that between Qi Mengmeng and Lei Lei.
Lei Lei seemed to really regard Qi Mengmeng as his mother.
Qi Mengmeng waited until the second pot of buns on the fire was cooked, then asked Lei Lei to step back while she picked the buns out of the pot.
Leilei pointed at the deformed bun and said, "Mom, I made that."
Qi Mengmeng picked out the buns that Lei Lei had made, put them in a bowl, and said to Lei Lei with a smile, "I'll save this bun for later."
Lei Lei nodded heavily. He packed that specially for his mother.
Qi Mengmeng picked up a plate of buns and put them in the basket.
Leilei was a little confused: "Mom, where are you going with the buns?"
"The squash used to make dumplings was given to me by Grandma Zhao. You saw it today. Mom will go over to thank Grandma Zhao."
"Mom, I want to go too. I also want to thank Grandma Zhao." Lei Lei pulled Qi Mengmeng's clothes, fearing that Qi Mengmeng would not take him.
"Okay, mom will take you there." Qi Mengmeng walked out holding the basket in one hand and holding Leilei's hand in the other.
She walked to the door and told Feng Lian that the buns were ready and asked her to eat them first while they went to the next door to deliver the buns.
At the Li family, Zhao Xiaocao had just put the rice in the pot to cook porridge when she saw Qi Mengmeng leading Lei Lei in with a smile on her face.
"Leilei is here? Are you awake? Can we have dinner at grandma's house today?"
Lei Lei pointed at the basket in Qi Meng Meng's hand and said in a clear voice, "Grandma, my mom and I are here to bring you some buns."
Qi Mengmeng handed the basket in her hand to Zhao Xiaocao and said, "Master's wife, this is the squash you gave me. I made some buns with it. You can try some too."
Zhao Xiaocao knew Qi Mengmeng's character, so she didn't refuse. She took the basket from Qi Mengmeng, looked at the full plate of buns, and shook her head: "Look at you, you steamed buns once, but you gave us so many. It's just right. I said I would give you some tomatoes. Leilei, come with me to pick them."
She put the buns back in the kitchen first, then came out with the basket and waved to Leilei: "Leilei, have you ever picked tomatoes?"
Lei Lei shook his head. He had never been to the vegetable garden.
Zhao Xiaocao held Leilei's hand and walked towards the vegetable field: "You have to pick the red tomatoes. Go and take a look, pick the red ones."
Lei Lei looked back at Qi Mengmeng, and Qi Mengmeng followed him.
Zhao Xiaocao saw Qi Mengmeng catching up from the corner of her eye, so she also slowed down her pace.
At the beginning, Lei Lei was very embarrassed to follow behind Zhao Xiaocao, but when Zhao Xiaocao let him try to pick a tomato, his expression began to relax. After picking two more tomatoes, his eyes began to stare at the red tomatoes, and he shouted from time to time.
"Grandma Zhao, here is a big tomato, it's really red, and here is a cucumber, it looks really long, it must be really delicious."
Qi Mengmeng listened to Lei Lei's cheerful voice outside the vegetable garden and found a small stool to sit down.
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhao Xiaocao came out with Leilei, who was holding a tomato in his hand. He raised it to Qi Mengmeng happily and said, "Mom, this is the tomato I picked."
Qi Mengmeng took out a handkerchief to wipe Lei Lei's sweat, and praised him with a smile.
Lei Lei put the tomato in Qi Meng Meng's hand: "Grandma Zhao said that this tomato is delicious when eaten raw."
Zhao Xiaocao said happily in the back: "Yes, the tomatoes I grow are sweet and juicy, and they are delicious."
As she spoke, she scooped a bucket of water from the large vat in the yard, washed a tomato for Lei Lei, and handed it to Lei Lei: "Try it."
Lei Lei asked Qi Mengmeng to wash his hands with water first, then he took the tomato and couldn't wait to eat it.
Zhao Xiaocao and Qi Mengmeng stood together and said with a smile, "This child is quite hygienic."
That’s right. Most children put food directly into their mouths when they see it. Few children know to wash their hands before eating.
From this point, we can know that Leilei has good family education.
After eating the tomatoes, Lei Lei thanked Zhao Xiaocao and praised the tomatoes she grew for being delicious.
Zhao Xiaocao was so happy that she wanted to go to the vegetable garden to pick other vegetables for him, but Qi Mengmeng stopped her.
Zhao Xiaocao had already delivered a basket of vegetables during the day, so there was no need to take so many vegetables.
"Master's Wife, we can't order any more. There are so many dishes that we can't finish them all at home."
"Then take these back. These were all picked by Leilei himself." Zhao Xiaocao handed over half a basket of cucumbers and tomatoes.
Lei Lei touched his body, handed Zhao Xiaocao two pieces of candy, and said with a smile: "Grandma Zhao, you treated me to tomatoes, and I will treat you to candy."
Zhao Xiaocao held Lei Lei in her arms and wanted Lei Lei to stay here at night. She also told Qi Mengmeng to leave Lei Lei with her during the day.
Qi Mengmeng smiled, touched Leilei's little head and shook her head: "Leilelei's aunt is here, she will watch over him during the day."
Although Zhao Xiaocao was disappointed, he didn't say anything. He sent Qi Mengmeng and Lei Lei back. Zhao Xiaocao also told Lei Lei to come over and play during the day.
Leilei agreed readily.
Feng Lian waited at home for a long time and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two people come back.
"What took you so long? It's almost dark."
She wasn't complaining, but she was a little worried that they hadn't come back for such a long time.
"My master's wife gave Lei Lei some vegetables. These were picked by Lei Lei." Qi Mengmeng showed Feng Lian the tomatoes and cucumbers in the basket.
Leilei also puffed out his chest and said happily, "Auntie, I picked these."
Feng Lian looked over and praised, "These dishes are quite fresh."
Lei Lei immediately took a tomato and gave it to Feng Lian: "Auntie, this is for you."
Feng Lian smiled and praised Lei Lei, then held the food in her hand without eating it.
Qi Mengmeng said to Lei Lei: "How about we make a dish out of these tomatoes and cucumbers?"
Lei Lei immediately followed Qi Mengmeng into the kitchen happily.
Qi Mengmeng cut the tomatoes into pieces, sprinkled some sugar on them, and gave one piece to Lei Lei first. Lei Lei squinted his eyes happily and said, "Mom, it's so sweet."
Qi Mengmeng smacked the cucumber a few times, cut it into small pieces, mixed it with vinegar and made a tomato and egg soup. Tonight's dinner was ready.
"We have to thank Leilei today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious cucumbers and tomatoes."
Qi Mengmeng took a bite of tomato and immediately praised Lei Lei.
