Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling followed Qi Mengmeng, listening to Zhao Xiaocao's introduction, knocking on the doors of each house and giving out some candies.
Most of the neighbors were very kind. They only knew that Qi Mengmeng’s husband was a soldier, but they didn’t expect that her family seemed to be extraordinary as well.
The cotton jacket Zhang Meiling was wearing was clean and thick, and the fabric was different from what they usually wore.
Qi Huilan spoke politely and behaved courteously, and it was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.
When the three of them arrived at Gao's mother's house, Gao was complaining to her daughter-in-law Shen Cui about Qi Mengmeng being too stingy. Her family bought so much meat, but she was not willing to share some with her neighbors.
Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Cui frowned and went to open the door, and was stunned when she saw several people.
Zhao Xiaocao and Chen Cui introduced the two people behind them, one was Qi Mengmeng's biological mother and the other was her aunt, who came to meet Qi Mengmeng's neighbors.
Before Shen Cui could say anything, Aunt Gao came over after hearing the noise, holding a few melon seeds in her hand and spitting out the skins while eating them.
Qi Huilan handed the candy to Shen Cui: "We just came to see our cute neighbors. Here are a few candies I brought from my hometown to sweeten your mouths."
Aunt Gao snatched it away, smacked her lips and shook her head, "It's just a few pieces. We usually take good care of Qi Mengmeng."
Shen Cui and Zhao Xiaocao both had dark faces.
Aunt Gao thought that Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling didn't know the situation and talked nonsense. How could Chen Cui and Zhao Xiaocao not know whether she took care of Qi Mengmeng? Even Qi Mengmeng would tell her.
"This is Aunt Gao, right? You just came to my house and wanted to help us cook meat. I know how you usually take care of my little Meng Meng. When my son-in-law comes back, I can tell him in detail and let him thank you."
Qi Huilan said polite words, but her expression was not pleasant.
Zhang Meiling shook her head, "Are you going to Mengmeng's house to help cook the meat? I have to tell Mengmeng when I get back. Every household is having a hard time these days. We buy some meat and keep it at home. How can we ask Aunt Gao to help?"
Aunt Gao tried hard to recall in her mind what kind of help she had done for Qi Mengmeng, and was ready to tell it out loud to slap Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling in the face.
But she had very little contact with Qi Mengmeng, except for the time a few days ago when she almost caused Qi Mengmeng to fall, and the time when she almost made Lei Lei suspicious.
Thinking of this, Aunt Gao felt a little guilty, but she only shrank for a moment and tried to defend herself: "I can't remember what happened in the past. I will go there often in the future."
Qi Mengmeng's family is well-off, so she often goes there and can take advantage of her. When Aunt Gao thinks of this, she feels that she has suffered a lot in the past.
Chen Cui, who was standing next to her, blushed. She didn't know how her mother-in-law could say such shameless words, but she had to explain it to her.
She forced a smile and said, "We are all neighbors, living together. If there is any problem, we will definitely help."
Zhao Xiaocao snorted, "Cui, Mengmeng still has me, her master's wife, here, so I won't bother you to take care of her."
The only thing I’m afraid of is that they have to take care of it and move all of Qi Mengmeng’s things to their home.
Aunt Gao wanted to say something, but Shen Cui pulled her back, meaning that she should stop talking.
Qi Huilan smiled at Shen Cui and said, "I heard that Aunt Gao's son is an apprentice in a furniture factory. It's a dangerous job, so you have to do it well."
Aunt Gao didn't understand, but Chen Cui was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Why was Qi Huilan mentioning her man at this time?
Qi Huilan was afraid that the two of them didn't understand, so she reminded them: "The security captain of the furniture factory is a comrade of mine and my husband. We will ask him to come and see Mengmeng later."
This is almost telling them explicitly that we have people in the furniture factory, and if you dare to bully Mengmeng again, be careful of your family members.
The three of them went out. When Zhao Xiaocao saw that Gao Da's mother's house was closed, she asked in a low voice, "Sister Qi, does your husband really know the security captain of the furniture factory?"
Liu Dajiang also told Qi Huilan about this before leaving. This was because he knew that Aunt Gao's son worked in a furniture factory and he thought of the comrade-in-arms with whom he could best establish a relationship.
"Yes, they are my comrades."
Qi Huilan didn't say much. They were not the type to bully others, but if someone bullied Qi Mengmeng, they would fight back immediately.
Zhao Xiaocao opened her mouth but didn't ask any more questions. She thought Qi Huilan had a good personality, but she didn't expect she was also a strong one.
These were what Liu Dajiang taught Qi Huilan after they got married.
Qi Huilan is now much stronger than before.
If she meets Ge Tiezhu again, she will not forgive her like she did before.
With Liu Dajiang's care, Qi Huilan realized that she had been too negligent towards Qi Mengmeng in the past.
So now that Qi Mengmeng is pregnant, she is trying her best to take care of her.
After leaving Gao Da's mother's house, they went to a few more houses, chatted with each other, gave out candies, and got to know the neighbors nearby.
Qi Mengmeng still had a handful of candy left in her pocket, and she handed them all to Zhao Xiaocao: "Big sister, take this candy back to comfort your grandson."
Zhao Xiaocao waved her hand and said, "Save these candies for Mengmeng."
Qi Huilan stuffed all the candies directly into Zhao Xiaocao's pockets: "There are more at home. If you have nothing to do, come over and sit with us. We are usually bored at home."
Zhao Xiaocao knew that she was just being polite, but she still smiled and nodded.
Qi Mengmeng's house is not big, and there are five people living there now. If she goes there more often, I'm afraid she really won't be able to make her way around.
Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling were in a better mood on their way back. From their previous interactions, it seemed that the neighbors around here, except for Aunt Gao, were all nice.
Qi Huilan just scared Aunt Gao, so I guess she won’t cause trouble for Qi Mengmeng again.
When the two returned home, Qi Mengmeng had already made a cup of malted milk for each of them and handed it to them.
"You kid, I bought this malted milk for you to supplement your nutrition, why are you pouring it for us?"
Zhang Meiling pushed the malted milk in front of Qi Mengmeng and said, "Drink it."
Qi Mengmeng pushed it over again: "Auntie Ling, do you think I'm short of malted milk? You bought all of this, there's nothing wrong with it."
When she saw Qi Huilan was about to speak, she started counting on her fingers.
"Maltese, milk powder, canned fruit, canned meat, you also made meatballs and dumplings. I can't finish all the food in a whole winter. We are a family, you can't just give it to me."
"Okay, I'll drink this malted milk." Qi Huilan picked up the malted milk and took a sip: "Your Aunt Ling said one thing, and you said so many things."
Qi Mengmeng leaned towards Qi Huilan and said, "Mom, you guys are all so nice to me. Be careful that I will become too spoiled."
"It's better to be a little delicate. Girls in our family need to be a little delicate." Zhang Meiling deliberately misinterpreted Qi Mengmeng's meaning.
