Qi Mengmeng directly refused: "No."
She had seen movies about finding children in modern times, in which those parents who had lost their children went crazy searching for their children all over the country. She felt that Lei Lei's family must be anxiously searching for them somewhere, so she hoped that Lei Lei could return to his family as soon as possible.
Gu Guizhi said this because he saw that Qi Mengmeng liked Lei Lei. Since Qi Mengmeng didn't want to, then forget it. Anyway, they were both young and it didn't matter whether they had children or not.
Qi Mengmeng was afraid that Gu Guizhi might misunderstand her, so she patiently explained, "Leilei is obviously from a wealthy family, and he must be very loved at home. If he is lost, his family must be very anxious and want to find him as soon as possible."
Gu Guizhi didn't say anything more. On the issue of children, he fully respected Qi Mengmeng's opinion.
For dinner, several people had it in the hospital. Jiang Shan went to the cafeteria to buy food. After dinner, Qi Mengmeng took Lei Lei back to the family quarters.
They had dinner early, and when Qi Mengmeng returned to the family compound, it was just seven o'clock and the sky was still bright.
Li Lai Di had just brought her daughter back from outside. When she saw Qi Mengmeng, she greeted her with a smile.
"Captain Gu's family, I have vegetables grown in my yard. If you want to eat some, come and get some." Li Lai Di greeted Qi Mengmeng warmly.
Qi Mengmeng had already asked Gu Guizhi in the hospital today. Knowing that he had a good relationship with Xu Daming, she smiled and said to Li Lai Di, "I have been in the hospital these few days and haven't cooked much. If I need it in the future, I may have to trouble my sister-in-law."
Li Lai Di smiled cheerfully: "We are all military wives, what's the problem? Captain Gu and Daming have come to eat here before, you don't have to be polite."
"Well, my name is Qi Mengmeng. You can just call me Mengmeng from now on." Qi Mengmeng felt that she still needed to introduce herself so that she wouldn't always be called "Captain Gu's daughter."
"It sounds really nice." Li Lai Di said with admiration: "Meng Meng, my name is Li Lai Di, but my daughter's name was given by her father, and it also sounds nice, Xu Weiwei."
She lowered her head and called her daughter, "Weiwei, call me auntie."
Qi Mengmeng inexplicably felt that this auntie called her old. She smiled and took out two candies and gave them to the chubby girl across from her: "Hello Weiwei, I live next door to you. You can call me auntie or Auntie Qi."
Xu Weiwei glanced at Li Lai Di first, and when she nodded, she took the candy from Qi Meng Meng's hand: "Thank you, Aunt Qi."
She felt that Qi Mengmeng was different from the aunts in the family compound, so she called her aunt.
Li Lai Di looked at Lei Lei beside Qi Meng Meng and asked curiously, "This is the child you brought back. He looks so good, almost like my Wei Wei."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Xu Weiwei and then at Lei Lei. Sure enough, both of them were white and plump.
She smiled and said to Li Lai Di, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to go home first. You can bring Weiwei to play later."
Li Lai Di watched Qi Mengmeng lead Lei Lei into the house, then she lowered her head and said to Xu Weiwei, "Weiwei, you are so dirty. I have told you so many times that you are a girl and you can't always get dirty."
Xu Weiwei peeled off the candy wrapper, threw the candy into her mouth, unfolded the wrapper, and smiled at her mother: "Mom, this candy is so sweet."
Li Lai Di looked at her daughter's smiling face, and her anger faded. She took her hand to wash her hands, muttering, "You have to be a clean child, or they will talk about us rural people not paying attention to hygiene."
When she said the last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was holding it in her mouth. Xu Weiwei didn't hear it clearly, but she didn't care. She let Li Laidie wash her hands and climbed onto the stool to prepare to eat.
Next door, Qi Mengmeng parked her bicycle, and Lei Lei had already gone to get water to wash his hands and face, and then sat on a stool to pour water.
Qi Mengmeng saw it and picked up the thermos: "Leilei, the thermos is heavy and it's full of hot water. You can't pour it out yourself, do you hear me?"
Lei Lei felt that he had no problem, but since Qi Mengmeng had said so, he nodded obediently: "I heard it, Mom."
Qi Mengmeng poured him some water and then went to boil some water so that he could take a bath.
The weather is still hot now. I am sweaty all over after running all day. If I don’t take a shower, I can’t even sleep well.
After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Lei Lei played jigsaw puzzles on the bed. Qi Mengmeng washed the clothes and came over to coax Lei Lei to sleep.
Leilei obediently put down the jigsaw puzzle and closed his eyes.
As usual, Qi Mengmeng took out the small fan and fell asleep in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took, but Leilei suddenly sat up and started crying loudly: “I’m good, don’t hit me, don’t hit me, Grandpa, save me, Mommy, Mommy.”
Qi Mengmeng woke up in shock, hugged Leilei and coaxed him, "Leilei, mommy is here, here."
Lei Lei seemed to hear nothing and just kept crying. Qi Mengmeng tried to coax him for a long time but there was no response. She went to turn on the light in the outer room and tried to coax Lei Lei again.
After a long while, Lei Lei called out in confusion: "Mom."
Qi Mengmeng immediately replied: "I'm here, Leilei, don't cry."
Lei Lei hugged Qi Mengmeng and fell asleep in a daze. Qi Mengmeng wiped the sweat and tears from his face, turned off the light in the outer room, and then went back to the house.
After waiting for a while, Leilei stopped crying and Qi Mengmeng slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Qi Mengmeng tentatively asked Lei Lei why he cried last night. Lei Lei said with a confused look on his face that he did not cry.
Qi Mengmeng didn't ask any more questions and continued cooking. After eating with Lei Lei, she rode her bike to the military hospital to deliver food to Gu Guizhi.
It was not until Lei Lei fell asleep at noon that Qi Mengmeng told Gu Guizhi about this: "I think Lei Lei was frightened, so he woke up at night."
Leilei has been crying for two nights in a row. We have to think of a solution quickly. We can't let him cry all the time.
Gu Guizhi had no choice as he had never taken care of a child before. Li Zhuang, who was standing beside him, began to ponder.
He looked outside the door and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my sister was frightened when she was a child. She kept crying like Lei Lei. Later, my mother found someone to take a look at her and she was fine."
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng looked at each other. This "see" should not mean seeing a doctor, right?
"Is there any place nearby for children to watch?" Qi Mengmeng asked Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi shook his head. He had only been training and going on missions before, so he had never encountered this problem.
"Why don't you ask Daming's wife when you go back. Her house is next door to ours. I remember Daming once said that his daughter used to cry all the time, but then she gradually got better." Gu Guizhi thought about it for a long time and came up with this idea.
Qi Mengmeng was a little hesitant. The whole country was breaking down feudal superstitions, so how could she ask this so casually?
"How about I go ask Captain Xu?" Li Zhuang interrupted.
"No need. I'll go back and ask Sister Li." Qi Mengmeng felt that it was better not to involve them in this matter.
