The baby in Qi Mengmeng's belly is at most two months old, so it's probably still hard to tell whether it's a boy or a girl.
"Mom, can you tell the gender of a baby in just over two months?" Qi Mengmeng wondered if her mother had learned how to tell gender from a doctor?
"Probably not." Qi Huilan shook her head and lowered her voice: "If you want to check the gender, you probably have to wait until more than six months. Mom knows a doctor who can tell, but it's in our place. Will it be convenient for you to go there by then?"
Qi Huilan's face was full of worry, and Qi Mengmeng then realized that Qi Huilan didn't know the gender of the baby in her belly.
Qi Mengmeng asked with some amusement: "Mom, how do you know that the baby in my belly is a girl?"
Qi Huilan glanced in the direction of the door and whispered in Qi Mengmeng's ear, "They say sour and spicy food make for boys and spicy food makes for girls. You ate so many chilies, so it must be a girl."
Qi Mengmeng suddenly thought of a TV show she had watched before, in which someone ate a lot of chili peppers to prove that the baby in her belly was a girl.
"Did you feel it too?" Seeing that Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything, Qi Huilan thought she agreed.
Qi Mengmeng quickly retorted: "I don't feel anything. The child is still so young, he doesn't feel anything."
Even with modern instruments, I have never heard of being able to determine the gender of a baby in more than two months.
Qi Huilan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Did Guizhi ever tell you what to do if you're pregnant with a girl?"
"No." Qi Mengmeng retorted subconsciously. He felt that Gu Guizhi was not that kind of person.
"If Gu Guizhi doesn't like his daughter, let her have the surname Qi." Qi Mengmeng said casually, and Qi Huilan's eyes lit up.
Yes, what's wrong with a daughter? The Qi family doesn't mind boys and girls, as long as they are cute.
Qi Huilan figured it out and immediately felt sleepy. She reminded Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, go to bed quickly. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
By the time Qi Mengmeng got into bed, Qi Huilan had already fallen asleep.
Qi Mengmeng found it a little funny. She didn't expect Qi Huilan to let go so quickly.
The next morning, Gu Guiyi got up early to boil eggs, cook porridge, and make steamed buns.
This is what Qi Mengmeng taught him. Flower rolls are more delicious than steamed buns. With oil and salt, Qi Mengmeng can eat two or three.
When Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng woke up, Gu Guizhi had already boiled water and poured it into the basin.
"Mom, there is some freshly boiled hot water here." Gu Guizhi pointed to the freshly boiled hot water.
Qi Mengmeng naturally bent down to wash her face, and then went into the house to apply skin cream.
Gu Guizhi poured out the water for washing his face and brought a cup of malted milk to Qi Mengmeng.
After wiping her face, Qi Mengmeng picked up the malted milk and drank it in one gulp, just in time to meet Qi Huilan's gaze.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
Qi Huilan watched Gu Guizhi take the cup outside, and came close to Qi Mengmeng and whispered, "Mengmeng, is Guizhi always like this?"
Qi Mengmeng thought she was talking about malted milk and shrugged her nose: "I don't like drinking malted milk, but since it's good for the baby, I have no choice but to drink it."
In fact, Gu Guizhi's original words were to let Qi Mengmeng drink milk powder, and he would find a way to get the milk powder tickets, but Qi Mengmeng shook her head when she thought of the fishy smell of milk powder. She has never liked drinking milk.
Gu Guizhi then took a step back and let her drink malted milk.
Even if she were her own mother, Qi Huilan would say that her daughter would probably be the only one who dislikes the taste of milk powder.
But since her daughter loves to drink malted milk, Qi Huilan nodded and said, "I'll find some more tickets when I get back and send them to you."
Qi Mengmeng quickly waved her hands. It was okay to drink malted milk occasionally, but if you drink it for a few months, Qi Mengmeng thought, forget it, it's too sweet.
Qi Huilan ignored Qi Mengmeng's waving and urged her to eat quickly.
Qi Huilan's cooking skills were not very good, but she knew how to eat. She ate the flower rolls made by Gu Guizhi and praised, "Guizhi's cooking skills are really good."
Liu Dajiang's face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that the man who only had eyes for training could actually lift kitchen utensils.
"It seems that our Mengmeng is still lucky enough to have such a good meal." Liu Dajiang said to Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. He spread a layer of meat sauce on Qi Mengmeng’s steamed bun and handed it to Qi Mengmeng.
"You can't eat chili in the morning, so I smeared some meat sauce on you. It tastes great, try it."
Qi Mengmeng took the flower roll and tasted it, then nodded with a smile: "Well, this sauce is delicious. I'll go help Xiaoman take care of the children in a few days and ask her to make some for me."
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng often communicated with each other. Knowing that Yu Xiaoman and Qi Mengmeng had a good relationship, she even made two small clothes for Yu Xiaoman's son.
"Mom will go with you this weekend. I made two small clothes for Yu Xiaoman's son, so it's a good time to take them over."
Qi Mengmeng chewed a steamed bun and nodded in agreement.
Gu Guizhi placed the cooled porridge in front of Qi Mengmeng, signaling her not to eat only the steamed buns without drinking the porridge.
The more Qi Huilan looked at Gu Guizhi, the more satisfied she became. She didn't expect that Gu Guizhi would be so considerate after marriage. It seemed that this marriage was a perfect choice for Mengmeng.
Liu Dajiang looked at Qi Huilan's expression and suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Would Huilan feel that he was not considerate in the future?
"Huilan, don't just look at Mengmeng, you should eat too." Liu Dajiang gave Qi Huilan another steamed bun.
Qi Huilan glared at him and took another steamed bun before she finished the one in her hand. When did she become so hungry in the morning?
Liu Dajiang, who had flattered someone but failed, felt upset and glared at Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi's attention was all on Qi Mengmeng and he didn't notice Liu Dajiang's actions at all.
Seeing that Qi Huilan didn't even glance at him, Liu Dajiang decided to learn from Gu Guizhi, so that Qi Huilan wouldn't dislike him for being uncaring when she returned.
After breakfast, Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng went to work. Qi Huilan sent Liu Dajiang to the train station and went to buy groceries.
When Qi Mengmeng returned home at noon, she saw a plate of spicy diced chicken and a plate of fried eggplant with peppers on the table.
She smelled the fragrance in the air and always felt that it was somewhat familiar.
"Mom, did you make this?" It's not that she doesn't believe Qi Huilan, but there's too much oil on the dish, and it doesn't look like something Qi Huilan made.
Qi Huilan smiled awkwardly. She wanted to do it, but she really couldn't stand the spicy taste.
"I bought this dish at a state-owned restaurant, and I paid the chef separately."
Qi Mengmeng said, why the smell is so similar to the food in state-owned restaurants.
Qi Huilan served a bowl of rice to Qi Mengmeng, "I cooked the rice."
Qi Mengmeng laughed, took a bite of rice, deliberately opened her eyes wide, and said exaggeratedly: "The rice cooked by my mother is so delicious."
Qi Huilan nodded Qi Mengmeng's head and said, "You, try this dish and see if it tastes good. I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
Qi Mengmeng picked up a piece of diced chicken and ate it, nodded happily, and said casually: "The food in the state-owned restaurant is not cheap. If you buy it every day, your salary may be spent on it."
Qi Huilan said indifferently, "Eat it if you want. You are my only daughter. If not you, who else should I give it to?"
