Qi Huilan knew that Liu Dajiang's words were meant to comfort her, but she still hoped that they would come true.
"If Guizhi doesn't come back, I'm afraid the two children will never be able to walk." Qi Huilan sighed and looked towards the yard again.
Kang Kang and An An are already playing with other children.
Seeing that the two children were adapting well to the nursery, Qi Huilan prepared to go home.
"Da Jiang, you go to work. I'm going to buy some food and go home."
"I'll walk with you for a while."
Liu Dajiang took an hour off today. He looked at the time and found that he could still accompany Qi Huilan for a while.
As they walked to where they were buying groceries, Qi Huilan urged Liu Dajiang, "You should go to work quickly. I'll be back after I finish buying groceries."
"Well, you don't have to cook for me at noon. I've been a bit busy these few days and won't be back for lunch." Liu Dajiang gave some more instructions before leaving.
The vegetable seller looked at Qi Huilan with a smile and said enviously, "Sister, your man is so good to you."
Qi Huilan blushed and hesitated for a few words. She didn't even ask the price of the dishes. She just bought a few dishes and left quickly.
Before she reached home, Qi Huilan realized that she had forgotten to buy meat. She turned around and walked back, and bumped into someone. Fortunately, the other person pulled her up, otherwise she would have fallen.
She bowed her head and said thank you, and the other person shouted, "Mom?"
Qi Huilan looked up suddenly. Was it Gu Guizhi?
"Guizhi, you're back?"
Qi Huilan's face was full of surprise. She had just talked about Gu Guizhi with Liu Dajiang, but she didn't expect that Gu Guizhi would come back.
"Yes, Mom, I'm back. I'm back safely." Gu Guizhi nodded affirmatively with tears in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Qi Huilan kept saying this.
Soon, she discovered that Gu Guizhi was leaning against the wall, motionless.
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Huilan's expression changed. She held Gu Guizhi's arm and said, "Did I bump into you just now?"
Sweat broke out on Gu Guizhi's forehead. He tried hard to ignore the pain in his legs and let out a breath quietly.
"It's okay, Mom. My leg was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious now."
Qi Huilan looked Gu Guizhi up and down, and she felt that Gu Guizhi was not telling the truth.
According to Gu Guizhi's character, he would not stand against the wall if he was only slightly injured.
"I'll help you go home first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Qi Huilan was worried that Gu Guizhi's body couldn't bear it, so she wanted to take her home.
"Boss, I'm back."
At this time, a voice came along with the gurgling sound of a wheelchair.
A young man came over pushing a wheelchair and helped Gu Guizhi sit down, complaining, "Boss, I just pushed the wheelchair, why did you come over? The doctor said that you have shrapnel in your head and legs, so you should walk less."
"What? There are shrapnel on the head and legs?" Qi Huilan's face really changed. She didn't expect Gu Guizhi's condition to be so serious.
The young man thought Qi Huilan was just a passerby and said proudly: "Our leader is a hero who just returned home."
"Li Gang!" Gu Guizhi shouted and looked at Qi Huilan again.
"Mom, I'm almost well now. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Qi Huilan wanted to say something, but Li Gang was still there, so she swallowed her words.
"Forget it, let's go home first and talk about it when we get home."
Qi Huilan wanted to push Gu Guizhi, but Li Gang got there first.
"Auntie, I'll push the leader."
Qi Huilan then tried to pick up the vegetables on the ground, but Li Gang picked them up first and handed them to Qi Huilan.
On the way, Gu Guizhi asked Qi Huilan: "Mom, did Mengmeng go to class today?"
"Yes, Mengmeng had something to do today, so she went to school." Qi Huilan answered casually, thinking about Gu Guizhi's injury.
"Have An'an and Kang'kang been naughty recently? Is Auntie Ling at home taking care of them?"
"An An and Kang Kang went to school."
Qi Huilan and Gu Guizhi arrived at the door of their home while they were talking and answering each other.
Li Gang carried the wheelchair in and entered the house under the command of Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi immediately noticed the two children lying on the bed.
Zhang Meiling was fanning the two children when she saw Gu Guizhi standing up with a look of surprise on his face:
"Guizhi, you're back?"
"Yes, Aunt Ling, I'm back? Whose child is this?"
Gu Guizhi nodded to Zhang Meiling first, then asked.
He didn't think the two children were his at all, as he had only been gone for more than half a year.
"Of course this is your child." Qi Huilan, who came in later, realized that she had forgotten to tell Gu Guizhi about Qi Mengmeng giving birth to a child.
Gu Guizhi froze in his place. The child was his? He had been gone for more than half a year, and the child was already born? In other words, Mengmeng was already pregnant when he left? He was not at home during the entire pregnancy? He was also not there when Qi Mengmeng gave birth?
Gu Guizhi, who felt that he had done his best for the country, was filled with guilt. He felt sorry for Qi Mengmeng.
Seeing that Gu Guizhi didn't say anything, Qi Huilan thought he had misunderstood Qi Mengmeng, so she hurried to explain.
"Guizhi, before you went on the mission, Mengmeng found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't tell you because she was worried about affecting you."
"They are twins, a boy and a girl. The brother is called Pingping and the sister is called Huihui."
Zhang Meiling also said: "The day Mengmeng gave birth to her two children was exactly the day of the final exams. Fortunately, her classmates helped her get to the hospital."
Qi Mengmeng suffered a lot when she was pregnant with these two children, and Zhang Meiling didn't want Qi Mengmeng to be misunderstood.
Gu Guizhi said hoarsely, "Mom, Aunt Ling, I know Mengmeng has worked hard."
He would not doubt Qi Mengmeng's character, he just felt sorry for Qi Mengmeng's efforts.
Li Gang, who was pushing Gu Guizhi, was dumbfounded. He only knew that the leader's wife was a college student and had a pair of twin boys. He didn't expect that in the few months when the leader was on a mission, the leader's wife gave birth to two more children. This was amazing.
Gu Guizhi wanted to get up, and Li Gang quickly helped him sit on the bed.
Gu Guizhi's hands trembled as he tried to touch the two children, but then stopped in mid-air. His hands were covered with calluses, so what if he accidentally rubbed the two children?
Huihui opened her eyes drowsily, glanced at Gu Guizhi, smacked her lips, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
"Mom, Huihui, are you going to wake up?"
Gu Guizhi immediately asked in a low voice.
Qi Huilan took a look and shook her head: "Huihui won't wake up at this time, they need to sleep for a while longer."
Qi Huilan didn't say anything about the two well-behaved children. What if she said it and Gu Guizhi no longer felt sorry for Qi Mengmeng?
Zhang Meiling also thought so. She and Qi Huilan looked at each other and told her about some of the difficulties Qi Mengmeng encountered during her pregnancy and delivery.
"Leader, it's not easy for my sister-in-law."
Li Gang couldn't help but sigh.
Although life is not easy for military wives, Qi Mengmeng was pregnant with twins and not only did she not make Gu Guizhi worry, she also did not complain to the organization. For this reason alone, she deserves his respect.
