Qi Mengmeng glanced at her watch. She had just arrived home and the gangster was already back?
Yu Xiaoman followed Qi Mengmeng's gaze and glanced at his watch, then looked at Hunzi: "Why did you come back so early today?"
Hunzi found Shu Xincheng's expression a little funny and told it to Yu Xiaoman as a joke.
Yu Xiaoman used to deliver meals to the gangsters and was familiar with his colleagues in the Public Security Bureau. He shook his head and said, "The captain has always been reluctant to go on a blind date. If he knew that he went on a blind date because of Shu Xincheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't forgive Shu Xincheng."
The bastard nodded: "Although the captain was forced to go on a blind date, I still hope that the captain can succeed."
Yu Xiaoman smiled and said, "If the captain's blind date is successful, the next one will probably be Shu Xincheng."
The captain is Shu Heping, who is six years older than Shu Xincheng and is his third uncle.
The Shu family lives together without separating. Shu Heping has to go to work normally, and the children are taken care of by Grandma Shu. Grandma Shu threatens to stop taking care of the children for Shu Heping, so Shu Heping has no choice but to go on blind dates.
As long as Shu Heping succeeds in his blind date, Shu Xincheng will definitely be the next one.
Whenever the gangster thought about Shu Xincheng, who was usually lazy, having a wife to take care of him in the future, he found it funny.
Yu Xiaoman guessed what the gangster meant from his expression and nudged him with his arm.
Qi Mengmeng watched the interaction between the two and found it very interesting.
Yu Xiaoman has a gentle personality, but the gangsters will basically listen to whatever Yu Xiaoman says.
Before the gangster came, Yu Xiaoman had almost finished preparing the meal. After a few more words, the meal was ready.
Qi Mengmeng took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I know this food is delicious just by smelling it."
Yu Xiaoman's face turned a little red. Qi Mengmeng was very direct every time she praised her, which made her feel very embarrassed.
However, it was also because of Qi Mengmeng's praise that Yu Xiaoman gained confidence.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much.
Hunzi actually has a big appetite. When he is at home, whenever there are two of them eating, Yu Xiaoman always cooks coarse grains to save money. Occasionally, when his comrades come over for dinner, they both almost never eat staple foods. This is the first time he has eaten rice so happily.
They had to eat. Qi Mengmeng put a lot of rice in the rice. She and Yu Xiaoman didn't have big appetites, so after they were both full, there was still a lot of rice left. In the end, all the rice went into the hunk's stomach.
After finishing his meal, the gangster let out a sigh of relief, feeling really full.
Qi Mengmeng could tell from the way Hunzi was eating just now that the two of them rarely ate fine grains, but this kind of thing was enough to know, there was no need to say it out loud.
After the meal, Hunzi just helped to wash the dishes and left. Yu Xiaoman started to clean up the meat from the morning. Qi Mengmeng asked her to take a rest for a while, but she refused.
There was no choice, Qi Mengmeng could only work with her.
When Qi Mengmeng yawned again, Yu Xiaoman suddenly said, "Mengmeng, what do you think I should do if I don't have a child?"
"What?" Qi Mengmeng thought she guessed wrong.
Yu Xiaoman said gloomily, "The doctor said that my health is not good and I need to recuperate before I can have a child. Almost all of my salary has been used for my medical treatment. I thought that if I had a job and took more medicine, I would definitely be able to have a child of my own."
Only then did Qi Mengmeng understand that the reason why Yu Xiaoman and Hunzi had almost no savings was because they had contributed all their money to the hospital.
"I have been married to Hunzi for many years. I told Hunzi that I cannot have children and asked him to find another one, but he refused."
These words have been weighing on Xiaoman's mind for a long time. She has no acquaintances here and cannot tell anyone else.
She knew that Qi Mengmeng had been married for more than a year and had no children, and seeing that Qi Mengmeng had a good personality, she said these words.
"Actually, you are not very old, and medical technology nowadays is much better than before. You will definitely be cured." Qi Mengmeng comforted Yu Xiaoman.
She knew that because everyone's living conditions were poor in the past few years, many people in the countryside lacked food and clothing, and poor health was common, but they would definitely recover after treatment.
Besides, Yu Xiaoman and Hunzi are both young, so it’s not difficult for them to have their own children.
Yu Xiaoman wiped her tears with her sleeve and nodded: "Hunzi said the same thing. He said that his parents had passed away and there were only two of us left in the family. It didn't matter if we had children or not. But I swore in front of my parents' graves that I would definitely give birth to a few children for the Hun family."
Her thoughts represent the thoughts of most people of this era. Everyone believes that having more children means more blessings. Although wealthy families are envied, families with many children feel proud.
"I think you will definitely have children in the future, but you have to listen to the doctor and not take medicine casually." Qi Mengmeng reminded Yu Xiaoman.
After thinking about it, Qi Mengmeng briefly told the story of Li Laidie taking medicine in the family compound, and also said that a military wife had a miscarriage because of taking the medicine.
"We don't know whether the military wife had a miscarriage because of the medicine she took, but she still had to go to the hospital to get the medicine."
After spending so much time in the hospital and seeing no obvious results, Yu Xiaoman was thinking about trying a folk remedy. But after hearing what Qi Mengmeng said, she gave up the idea.
It’s better to continue treatment in the hospital. If she gets pregnant one day and takes the wrong medicine, Yu Xiaoman will be so upset.
After chatting with Qi Mengmeng for an afternoon, Yu Xiaoman felt much more relaxed and no longer as depressed as before. She went to the hospital to get some medicine for a while and continued to regulate her body.
Yu Xiaoman also asked Qi Mengmeng if she wanted to go to the hospital together. Qi Mengmeng smiled and said that they were all fine and they should just let nature take its course.
Although Gu Guizhi said that he could tell others about his illness, Qi Mengmeng, who came from the modern era, valued privacy very much. Qi Mengmeng would definitely not tell others about this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Yu Xiaoman thought that Gu Guizhi was often on missions, so it was normal for the two of them not to have children. She shared with Qi Mengmeng some tips she had collected to make it easier to get pregnant.
Although Qi Mengmeng felt that it would not be of any use for the time being, she still expressed her gratitude to Xiaoman.
It was not until the evening that Yu Xiaoman finished preparing all the meat.
When Gu Guizhi came back, he took Yu Xiaoman and Hunzi to a state-owned restaurant for a meal to express his gratitude.
Yu Xiaoman was a little reluctant to leave, but Qi Mengmeng asked her to try the food in the state-owned restaurant to learn from its strengths, so she went.
Moreover, while eating, Yu Xiaoman was really tasting the food. After finishing the meal, she told Qi Mengmeng that she would go back and study it and would definitely replicate the taste of the state-owned restaurant.
Qi Mengmeng thought it was a little funny, but nodded anyway, encouraging her to do her best and take the chef exam to become a chef in the future.
Yu Xiaoman nodded heavily. Who said women can’t be chefs?
The next day, as soon as Qi Mengmeng got to work, Lu Xiaolan came to her. Qi Mengmeng thought she wanted to talk about finding a partner, but unexpectedly, she wanted to ask about someone.
