Liu Dajiang had a very imposing look on his face. The waiter knew how to read his face and knew he was not someone to be trifled with, so he came out and wrote today's dishes on the small blackboard.
Liu Dajiang turned around and asked Qi Huilan: "Huilan, how many dishes do you think we should order?"
Just now Qi Huilan said something to Liu Dajiang, but Liu Dajiang was not angry at all. He immediately solved the problem for Qi Huilan, leaving Qi Huilan with no reason to be angry anymore.
She glanced at the small blackboard and ordered all the meat dishes on it. The waiter rolled his eyes almost to the sky, but under Liu Dajiang's gaze, he dared not say anything.
After the two ordered the food, they returned to the table. Liu Dajiang told Qi Huilan that they were going out to buy some things.
After the food was served, Liu Dajiang brought back a few lunch boxes.
"Which dish do you like? We can buy an extra portion to take away and save for dinner."
This is so considerate. Qi Mengmeng gave Liu Dajiang a thumbs up in her heart. She didn't know how his mother trained him, but Liu Dajiang's emotional intelligence has skyrocketed since he got married.
To be honest, the chef of this restaurant is really good. The chicken soup is very tasty, the fried tofu is tender and smooth, and the braised pork is fat but not greasy. The chef's level is comparable to that of Yu Xiaoman.
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng thought the same thing.
"Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Call Xiaoman and let's have a meal together. I haven't visited her in the past few days since I came here. I also made a piece of clothing for Xiaoman's son."
Qi Mengmeng nodded: "Xiao Man should be resting, let's go see her together."
The snow has melted in the past few days, and the roads are much easier to walk on. Qi Mengmeng thinks it's okay to go out for a walk.
But Qi Huilan was still worried. Yu Xiaoman's house was close to Qi Mengmeng's house by bicycle, but it was not close enough by walking. She couldn't let Qi Mengmeng walk to Yu Xiaoman's house with a big stomach.
Liu Dajiang borrowed the jeep today because Qi Mengmeng had a check-up. He can't borrow it again tomorrow.
"I'll go to Xiaoman's house tomorrow and pick them up then." Qi Huilan said after thinking for a while.
She can ride a bicycle to Yu Xiaoman's house, and bring Yu Xiaoman and her son with her, so Qi Mengmeng doesn't have to go through the trouble.
Zhang Meiling didn’t know Yu Xiaoman, so she didn’t express any opinion. She picked up some food for Qi Mengmeng from time to time, asking her to eat more.
While Qi Mengmeng was talking to Qi Huilan for a few words, the food in the bowl had already popped out.
"Auntie Ling, stop censoring me and eat more."
Qi Mengmeng also asked Zhang Meiling to eat more.
Mr. Jiang ate a piece of chicken and thought it would be better with some wine. He winked at Liu Dajiang and asked him if he wanted to buy some chicken and have a drink in the evening.
Liu Dajiang looked at Qi Huilan and thought, let it go.
Although a drinking partner is important, a spouse is more important.
Now that Qi Mengmeng is pregnant, Qi Huilan obviously doesn't want him to drink at home, so it's better for him to drink less.
Mr. Jiang usually doesn't like drinking, but he felt very happy drinking and chatting with Liu Dajiang a few days ago, so he wanted to drink a little more.
Since Liu Dajiang doesn't want to, forget it.
Zhang Meiling and Qi Huilan were taking care of Qi Mengmeng and did not notice the affair between Liu Dajiang and Old Man Jiang.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Liu Dajiang went to the window and ordered three more dishes: a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a braised pork, and a sweet and sour meatball.
The waiter served the food to Liu Dajiang's lunch box without any complaints.
With these three dishes, we can just make something simple at home in the evening and eat directly.
When she returned home in the evening, Zhang Meiling inquired about the relationship between Qi Mengmeng and Yu Xiaoman, and gave Qi Huilan a bag of snacks she had brought.
"Huilan, take this snack to Yu Xiaoman's son. Our Mengmeng has a good relationship with that girl, so we can't be stingy."
Zhang Meiling really treats Qi Mengmeng as her niece and even considers her friends.
Qi Huilan accepted the snacks from Zhang Meiling without hesitation.
"Tomorrow I'll let you taste Xiaoman's cooking. I'm not exaggerating, but the dishes that girl makes are the best I've ever eaten."
Zhang Meiling swallowed her saliva to give Qi Huilan face: "Okay, I'll buy more vegetables tomorrow so that I can taste the most delicious dishes before returning to Beijing."
Qi Huilan quickly asked, "Sister Ling, are you going back to the capital?"
"We have been here for a while, and it is almost time to leave. Although I would like to stay here forever, Lao Jiang still has work to do, so we have to go back anyway."
Zhang Meiling's tone was full of disappointment. "If you ever go to Beijing, you must stay at our house for a while."
Nowadays, you need a letter of introduction to go out, and everyone has a job, so Zhang Meiling's idea will definitely not be realized in the short term.
Qi Mengmeng knew how the situation would develop in the future, but in the current situation, she had no basis and certainly could not say this. Even if she did, others would not believe it.
"Auntie Ling, there will definitely be a chance in the future. I'll take the kids over there then. Don't think I'm annoying."
"How could I find you annoying? There's only me and Lao Jiang at home now. I can't wait for you to go back." Zhang Meiling had completely forgotten about her daughter.
But at this time, everyone thought that Qi Mengmeng was just being polite, and no one thought it would come true in the near future.
After finishing the chat, Qi Huilan took out the clothes she had made for Yu Xiaoman's son. It was a grey cotton-padded jacket for children. It was definitely a bit big for a one-year-old child, but it could be worn for two more years.
Zhang Meiling also took out some snacks, and specifically picked out warm ones that were suitable for children.
The next day, Qi Huilan rode her bike to Yu Xiaoman's house with clothes and snacks.
Yu Xiaoman was on a rest day today and did not send Xiaodouzi to the neighbor's house. While washing clothes, she watched Xiaodouzi holding a piece of egg cake and eating it slowly.
Qi Huilan walked up to Yu Xiaoman, and Yu Xiaoman saw her, "Auntie Ling, you're here."
"Xiaodouzi, call me grandma."
Xiao Douzi tilted his head and looked at Qi Huilan timidly, just clenching the egg cake in his hand.
Qi Huilan was just in the mood for children. She took out a snack from her bag and teased Xiao Douzi: "Xiao Douzi, call me grandma and I'll give you this snack."
Xiao Douzi looked at the snacks in Qi Huilan's hand, then looked at his own hand, shook his head and said nothing.
Yu Xiaoman and Qi Huilan smiled shyly: "Aunt Qi, Xiaodouzi is still not speaking clearly, please don't mind it."
Qi Huilan put the snack in Xiaodouzi's hand and smiled nonchalantly: "Xiaodouzi is not familiar with me, so it's normal not to call him. Such a child is smart and not easy to be abducted."
Yu Xiaoman wiped his hands on his body twice, then took Qi Huilan into the house, and Xiao Douzi quickly followed.
At this time, a little boy of four or five years old came in from outside. When he saw the snacks in Xiaodouzi's hand, his eyes lit up. He walked in quickly, snatched the snacks and stuffed them into his mouth.
