Chapter 300 I'll take care of the child
With Qi Huilan's help, Yu Xiaoman had a good time during the remaining days of her confinement, and she smiled more often.
Qi Huilan went to Yu Xiaoman's house during the day, and went back to cook for Qi Mengmeng at dinner time.
At the weekend, Qi Huilan made another spicy tofu dish, and the taste was almost completely different from the previous one.
"Mom, you're attending a cooking class. The dishes you make are much more delicious than before."
Qi Mengmeng scooped a large spoonful of tofu and rice and found it tasted so good that she couldn't stop eating it.
Qi Huilan watched Qi Mengmeng eat, scooped another spoonful for her with a spoon, and said with a smile: "I learned this from Xiaoman. What's more, with Xiaoman's guidance, the dishes I cook taste especially good."
What she didn't say was that in the past few days, she had only learned how to cook this one dish, and she was also sure that she had no talent for cooking.
Seeing Qi Mengmeng eating with relish, Gu Guizhi also took a bite. The taste was not too spicy, but more of a chili aroma. There was also minced meat in it, which should be in line with Qi Mengmeng's taste at this time.
From the speed at which Qi Mengmeng eats, you can tell how delicious this dish is.
Gu Guizhi silently moved his chopsticks to the stir-fried vegetables next to him, then paused.
Well, the taste of my mother-in-law’s cooking hasn’t changed much. It seems she has only learned how to make spicy tofu.
Qi Mengmeng also ate a few bites of vegetables, but they were mixed with chili peppers, so she didn't notice the difference at first.
After Qi Mengmeng finished her meal, Qi Huilan said, "Mengmeng, I plan to go back the day after tomorrow."
"Why are you going back so soon?" Qi Mengmeng was a little reluctant. She thought Qi Huilan would pay more attention this time.
"I've been here for more than ten days. If I don't go back, I'm afraid my company won't agree." Qi Huilan's face was full of reluctance.
"I've thought about it. When you're about to give birth, I'll quit my job, sell my job, and come help you take care of the baby."
"This," Qi Mengmeng answered for a moment. Although she knew that society would develop and times would progress, she felt that asking Qi Huilan to resign to help her take care of the children was a bit too much.
"Mom, are you unhappy with your job?"
If Qi Huilan doesn't want to work, it doesn't matter if I come and accompany her.
Qi Huilan smiled and said, "I have been doing this for so many years. I don't care whether I am happy or not. I am thinking that when you have a baby, someone will have to take care of it for you. Look at Xiaoman. Because there is no one to take care of her baby, she can't go back to work after the confinement period."
Yu Xiaoman's baby was one month old yesterday, but Hunzi was worried about her taking the baby to work, so he asked her to take another month off and find someone to help take care of the baby before letting Yu Xiaoman go back to work.
Yu Xiaoman wanted to take her child to work, but she was in the kitchen. Hunzi was worried that the child might get hurt, so he didn't agree.
Qi Huilan felt distressed when she thought that Qi Mengmeng would face the same situation in the future.
Yu Xiaoman and another guy help take care of the child, but Gu Guizhi is often on missions. After Qi Mengmeng gave birth to the child, she had to go to work and take care of the child by herself. The thought of it makes her tired.
Qi Huilan felt sorry for Qi Mengmeng and was ready to resign.
She can save more money during this period of work and come over before Qi Mengmeng is about to give birth.
Qi Mengmeng had heard Zhao Xiaocao talk about this issue before, and now after hearing Qi Huilan talk about it, she began to think seriously about who would take care of the child after she gave birth.
Not to mention that she has a job now, even if she wants to go to college, someone needs to take care of the child.
For a moment, she felt that the child's arrival was not at an appropriate time.
"What are you talking about, kid? I'm the grandmother, so of course I should take care of the child." Qi Huilan patted Qi Mengmeng's arm.
It turned out that Qi Mengmeng spoke out what was in her heart.
Qi Mengmeng quickly smiled and said, "Mom, I just said that. This child is our baby, so of course I don't think it's inappropriate."
Qi Huilan and Gu Guizhi were staring at her, so how could she dare to say it was inappropriate? Besides, the child was already there, so there was no point in saying anything now.
Qi Mengmeng said a lot of nice things before Qi Huilan let her go.
When they went to bed at night, Qi Huilan glared at Qi Mengmeng and said, "What did you say while eating just now? What would Guizhi think if he heard it?"
Qi Mengmeng just said it casually, and when she saw Qi Huilan and Gu Guizhi's faces changed, she knew she was wrong.
Now she could only beg for mercy.
"Mom, I just said it casually. I didn't mean it that way."
She didn't know why, but since she became pregnant, she felt like she had become a little stupid.
Qi Huilan sighed and held her hand: "Mengmeng, I can see that Guizhi cares about this child very much. Don't say these things in the future."
If Gu Guizhi knew that Qi Mengmeng didn't want this child, he would probably have some thoughts.
"Mom, I know. I don't dislike this child. I really just said that."
"That's good." Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng seriously, "Mengmeng, being a military wife is very tiring. Guizhi is often on missions, and I may not be able to be at home with you during your pregnancy. If you feel uncomfortable, call your uncle Liu's office and I will ask for leave to come over."
Qi Mengmeng nodded. She knew that Qi Huilan was doing it for her own good, so even if Qi Huilan said the same thing several times, she listened carefully.
During the time Qi Huilan was here, she made several small clothes for Qi Mengmeng's child, and even made a small mattress using cotton from home.
It was spring when Qi Mengmeng gave birth to her child. Although the weather was getting hotter, she still had to prepare some bedding.
Qi Huilan's family is wealthy and she doesn't want to let her future grandson suffer.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Qi Huilan to leave. Qi Mengmeng took half a day off and prepared a lot of food for her to eat on the train, despite Qi Huilan's objections.
As soon as the mother and daughter went out, Yu Xiaoman came on a bicycle.
"Aunt Qi, this is the food I prepared for you. You can eat it on the train. There are pickles and meat sauce. Try them all. If you like the best, I'll send you more."
Yu Xiaoman had a close relationship with Qi Huilan, and she was reluctant to let her go when she knew that Qi Huilan was leaving.
"Okay, thank you Xiaoman. Now that you are here, who will look after the child?" Qi Huilan took the things and asked with concern.
"Hanzi, take a half-day break today and look after the kids at home." Yu Xiaoman came specially to see Qi Huilan off.
Qi Huilan took the bag prepared by Yu Xiaoman, and her hand felt heavy. She opened it in surprise: "Xiaoman, what did you prepare? Why is it so heavy?"
Yu Xiaoman chuckled twice: "Nothing, just two lunch boxes and a few cans. Aunt Qi, wait and see after you get on the train. If you don't leave now, will the train be late?"
