Chapter 287 Forgot to Look After the Child



In the evening, Qi Mengmeng brought some things to see Zheng Yingying.

In the ward, An Jing was holding a bowl of chicken soup and drinking it slowly. Even Zheng Yingying was drinking chicken soup.

Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows. A woman in a Mao suit enthusiastically pulled Qi Mengmeng's hand and said, "You are Mengmeng, right? I heard from my Xiaojing that you helped send her back."

"Except for her bad marriage, Xiao Jing has very good luck in other aspects. Although we didn't get here in time, isn't it good luck that we met you? Thank you so much."

An's mother smiled the whole time, but what she said made the old lady next to her very dissatisfied. Wang Jun quickly explained: "Mom, when Xiaojing came out, my mother and I took the child back to the ward."

Mother An pretended not to hear and said to Qi Mengmeng, "You and Xiaojing are about the same age. When Xiaojing returns to the city, you should go out more often."

Wang Jun's originally stiff smile immediately became bright. He bent over and said to An's mother, "Mom, Xiaojing still has to recuperate after giving birth, so she can't come back right away. Otherwise, I'll come back first, and then pick them up when the baby is older."

The old woman also said: "Xiao Jing can't work even if she returns to the city, let Junzi come back first."

An Jing suddenly said, "Mom, I'm fine in the countryside. I don't need to go back to the city."

Wang Jun rushed to say, "Mom, don't listen to Xiaojing. I'm going back to the city first. I have a job and I will definitely take good care of Xiaojing."

An Jing frowned and insisted that it was not necessary.

An's mother's chest heaved up and down, and she was obviously angry. She was angry that An Jing found such a thing, and she was also angry that An Jing refused to compromise with her family.

Father An noticed that Mother An was acting strange, and immediately said, "Xiao Jing is still in confinement after giving birth. We'll talk about returning to the city later."

Mother An looked at Father An and nodded in his gaze: "Well, I will stay for a while to help Xiao Jing with the confinement period."

"Mom..." An Jing just spoke, and An's mother looked at the swaddling clothes on the bed and whispered, "Are you sure you can take good care of the child?"

An Jing didn't have milk yet, and seeing that her mother had something in mind, she had to shut her mouth.

Only then did An's mother take Qi Mengmeng's hand and say a lot of polite words, and also gave some of the things they brought to Qi Mengmeng.

The old woman looked at those things and wanted to reach out to take them, but Wang Jun noticed her and grabbed her hand in time.

These things were brought here by An's mother. If they stop them, An's mother will definitely be unhappy.

Wang Jun wanted An's mother to arrange a job for him in the city, so he didn't dare to offend An's mother.

Qi Mengmeng didn't even look at the food that An's mother gave her, and pushed it back: "Anjing is in confinement now, and it's the time when she needs to replenish her nutrition. Keep these things for her."

An's mother wanted to give the gift to Qi Mengmeng sincerely, but Qi Mengmeng had nothing else in her hands and did not accept it. An's mother could only give the gift to Zheng Meili and praised Zheng Meili for being able to raise a child.

Zheng Meili glanced at Qi Mengmeng, but she didn't dare to take credit for it.

Fortunately, Zheng Meili was a person of propriety. Although she accepted some of the things given by An's mother, she also gave gifts in return.

At this time, the two children in the ward began to cry. Qi Mengmeng did not stay any longer. She said something to Zheng Meili and prepared to go home.

As soon as she walked out of the ward, An's mother followed her out. She really wanted to make friends with Qi Mengmeng and wanted to find out everything about Qi Mengmeng.

Qi Mengmeng talked about her work unit and didn't say much about other things.

An's mother said that she worked in the street office, and if Qi Mengmeng had any problems in the future, she could come to her.

Although Qi Mengmeng had no plans in this regard, she still agreed with a smile, and only then did An's mother return to the ward with peace of mind.

The weather is still cold and it gets dark early. When Qi Mengmeng returned home, it was already dark, but the door was open.

Qi Mengmeng pushed the door open and Gu Guizhi walked out of the room.

"You're back? Have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten." Qi Mengmeng smiled when she saw Gu Guizhi. "You came back so quickly this time. Have you not eaten yet? I'll go make you something."

Gu Guizhi held Qi Mengmeng and said, "I've already eaten."

Almost as soon as Qi Mengmeng left, Gu Guizhi came back. He checked the house and guessed that Qi Mengmeng had gone out for something.

Gu Guizhi cooked himself some noodles and waited for Qi Mengmeng in the house.

The two of them went into the house together, and Gu Guizhi asked what Qi Mengmeng was doing.

Qi Mengmeng sat on a chair, poured herself a cup of hot water and drank it before telling her about Zheng Yingying giving birth.

Hearing the word "child", Gu Guizhi looked carefully at Qi Mengmeng's expression, hoping to see envy from it.

"I think Aunt Zheng will be leaving in two days. I have already sent the gift today. I can go and see her again when the full moon comes."

Qi Mengmeng didn’t know that Zheng Yingying was Zheng Meili’s biological daughter. She thought that since she had accompanied her for a day and given her gifts, that should be enough.

Gu Guizhi suddenly asked, "How is Zheng Yingying's child growing up?"

Qi Mengmeng was stunned. She didn't seem to be looking at the child seriously.

She smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to look after the child."

It really couldn't be blamed on her. She had been there the whole day and had gone with Zheng Meili to buy food, so she had forgotten to go see the child.

Gu Guizhi thought of several answers, but he didn't expect that Qi Mengmeng didn't see the child.

Qi Mengmeng quickly made amends: "I'll go see it when the baby is one month old. I think it will be better by then."

Little girl, you should look better when you are one month old, right?

A smile flashed in Gu Guizhi's eyes. He was sure that Qi Mengmeng didn't seem to be so envious of the child born to Zheng Yingying.

Maybe, because it was someone else's child.

When Gu Guizhi thought of this, his heart suddenly warmed up. He looked at Qi Mengmeng and asked, "Are you still taking a shower today?"

Qi Mengmeng shook her head: "I washed my feet yesterday, I'll just boil some water and wash them later."

The weather is still cold now, and it is easy to catch a cold if you take a shower indoors. When Gu Guizhi is not at home, Qi Mengmeng goes to the space to take a shower.

Gu Guizhi immediately went to the kitchen to bring back some foot washing water and urged Qi Mengmeng to wash her feet.

Even though she didn't react just now, after seeing Gu Guizhi's attentive look, Qi Mengmeng also reacted.

She originally wanted to say that she was tired today, but Gu Guizhi didn't give her a chance to speak.

Qi Mengmeng, who was tired after a day of work, was forced to work overtime for half a night.

In a daze, Qi Mengmeng heard Gu Guizhi say in her ear: "Our children will definitely be good-looking, both boys and girls."

Qi Mengmeng rolled her eyes. She really had no obsession with having children, but why did Gu Guizhi seem to not understand?

Gu Guizhi, who had been busy for half the night, finished cleaning Qi Mengmeng before closing his eyes and going to sleep.

Gu Guizhi wants a child of his own, but if not, it’s also good to live like this with Qi Mengmeng.

Gu Guizhi, who only knew how to train for missions before marriage, had already fallen into it unknowingly.
