Gu Guizhi saw Qi Mengmeng staring at the dishes on the table with a strange smile, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like these dishes?"
Qi Mengmeng smiled and shook her head: "I just think that there are so many dishes that the two of us can't finish them all."
Kang Kang beside him spoke at the right time. Gu Guizhi looked over and pointed at Kang Kang: "Look, Kang Kang doesn't agree with what you said. If you can't eat it, you can eat it tomorrow."
"If you can't finish it tomorrow, you can eat it the day after tomorrow, right?" Qi Mengmeng really couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
Gu Guizhi nodded as a matter of course, not quite understanding what was so funny about it.
It’s not easy for people to eat some meat nowadays. It’s normal that people are reluctant to eat it all at once and divide it into several meals.
But many years later, people say that eating leftovers is unhealthy and just throw them into the trash.
Gu Guizhi first served two bowls of duck soup, and under the expectant gaze of An An and Kang Kang, he put a spoonful of it in each of their small bowls and then slowly fed them.
An An was a little reluctant, and only after Kang Kang drank it and made a gurgling sound did An An take another sip.
However, there is only this one sip, and there is no more if you want to drink more.
An An and Kang Kang are still young and can't eat too much salt, so because it was New Year's Eve, they were given some soup.
However, Qi Mengmeng specially steamed an apple for the two of them. After steaming it, she crushed it with a spoon to make apple puree, which was sour and sweet. The two children loved it very much.
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng fed the two children first before sitting down to eat.
"I just called Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu has already picked up Mom. Don't worry."
Just now, Gu Guizhi went out to find a place to call Liu Dajiang's office.
Qi Mengmeng had been thinking about this matter just now. Now that she knew Qi Huilan had arrived safely, she felt much more at ease.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. Gu Guizhi poured himself a glass of wine and poured Qi Mengmeng a glass of brown sugar water.
Qi Mengmeng: ...I can actually drink a little.
Gu Guizhi shook the bottle of wine under Qi Mengmeng's gaze and said good-naturedly, "You are still breastfeeding. Drinking some brown sugar water will be good for your body."
Qi Mengmeng suddenly felt a tasteless taste in her mouth.
Even if she couldn't drink alcohol, she wanted to drink lemon juice, hawthorn juice, grape juice, peach juice, happy water...
Except brown sugar water.
Of course, it's just thought.
Gu Guizhi first picked up a piece of chicken for Qi Mengmeng: "This chicken has been stewed since this afternoon, you can taste it."
Pure free-range farm chicken, of course it tastes good.
For the sake of delicious food, Qi Mengmeng didn't care about not having wine to drink.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great tonight. Qi Mengmeng accidentally ate too much, while Gu Guizhi drank too much.
Qi Mengmeng put the unfinished food into the cupboard and rubbed her stomach: "I ate too much tonight. I'll go make some hawthorn water."
She remembered that there were some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets in the space, so she could take two of them.
Gu Guizhi reached out and pulled Qi Mengmeng, pulling Qi Mengmeng into his arms with great force.
Qi Mengmeng bumped into him and touched her nose, feeling a little painful, but Gu Guizhi didn't move at all.
"Don't go, I'll help you digest the food." Gu Guizhi's voice was low and blew hot towards Qi Mengmeng's ears.
"You don't know where the hawthorn is." Qi Mengmeng wanted to push Gu Guizhi away, but Gu Guizhi didn't move, and even pulled the corners of his mouth to smile. With one force, he picked up Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng was so scared that she quickly hugged Gu Guizhi's neck.
"Don't worry, I won't drop you." Gu Guizhi whispered and carried Qi Mengmeng into the house.
The two children were sleeping soundly in the room. Gu Guizhi piled up the quilt to block the two children's sight, and began to help Qi Mengmeng "digest the food".
Two hours later, Gu Guizhi asked in her ear: "How is it, are you still holding up?"
Qi Mengmeng felt sore all over. She glared at Gu Guizhi. It had been so long since she had digested the little bit of food she had eaten in the evening. She even felt hungry.
The lights in the outer room were still on. Under the dim yellow light, Qi Mengmeng's rosy face looked full of infinite charm, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Gu Guizhi felt his body tighten and he moved closer to Qi Mengmeng again.
Qi Mengmeng felt it and patted his shoulder: "Stop making trouble, the child will be hungry soon."
"I'm hungry too." Gu Guizhi hinted at something.
Qi Mengmeng was really tired. She pouted unconsciously, and her voice was soft and tender, "I'm tired."
Gu Guizhi looked at her expression carefully before letting her go.
"I'll go boil some water. We'll have dumplings soon. Are you hungry?"
Qi Mengmeng nodded hurriedly: "I'm hungry, I want to eat dumplings."
That action seemed as if he was afraid that if she was a little late, Gu Guizhi would not cook the dumplings.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng's cute appearance and laughed out loud.
This was the first time Qi Mengmeng saw Gu Guizhi laugh, with a relaxed and comfortable look, in the more than two years she had known him.
In the past, Gu Guizhi's face was often sullen, probably because he had been serving in the army for many years. Even when he smiled occasionally, it was only by moving the corners of his mouth.
Gu Guizhi seemed to have hidden his edge when he went to military school, and people looked at him and he seemed to be much more relaxed.
Qi Mengmeng did it slowly. Gu Guizhi first brought a basin of water and asked Qi Mengmeng to wash, and then went to the kitchen to continue boiling water.
Qi Mengmeng tidied herself up, put on thick clothes, and looked at the two children first. The two children were sleeping soundly, and Kang Kang was smacking his lips, as if he had a sweet dream.
Qi Mengmeng smiled, covered the two children with the quilt, and then went outside.
There were too many dishes on the table for the New Year’s Eve dinner, so Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi agreed not to cook dumplings and save them for eating during the New Year’s Eve.
Nowadays, there is really no entertainment during the Chinese New Year except setting off firecrackers, and the Spring Festival Gala will not be released for several more years.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the time. It was not yet 12 o'clock, but Gu Guizhi had already cooked the dumplings.
The dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork, with less vegetables and more meat, and they are oily when you bite them.
Gu Guizhi cooked a lot and there were five or six plates on the table.
"Mengmeng, eat more." Gu Guizhi handed the chopsticks to Qi Mengmeng.
Although Qi Mengmeng said she was hungry, she couldn't eat any more after eating five or six dumplings, and just stood there watching Gu Guizhi eat.
Gu Guizhi ate a lot for dinner, but he had a poor appetite and only ate one and a half plates of dumplings.
Qi Mengmeng held the dumpling soup, sipped it bit by bit, and talked with Gu Guizhi about their future plans.
"We are going to Beijing after the New Year. I want to go with Xiaochun in a few days to finish my work. But I haven't decided whether to rent out this house."
Now the house has been redecorated inside and out by Qi Mengmeng, and she is reluctant to rent it out.
But she is going to Beijing to attend university, and she will probably come back less often in the future. It would be a pity if the house remained empty.
"If you can't bear to let it go, then don't rent it for the time being." Gu Guizhi saw that Qi Mengmeng was reluctant and took the initiative to say.
