Gu Guizhi paused as he handed her the chopsticks, frowning slightly: "What commander?"
Qi Mengmeng sat down and repeated what Grandpa Feng had just said, then smiled bitterly: "Do you blame me for rejecting Grandpa Feng?"
"You are right. I didn't join the army to become a corps commander." Gu Guizhi's expression returned to normal: "You were right to refuse."
A smile appeared on Qi Mengmeng's face. She knew Gu Guizhi's character, which was why she said that in front of Grandpa Feng.
"Don't worry about what Grandpa Feng says. My promotion to a higher rank in the future will be based on my military merits, not my connections." Gu Guizhi picked up a piece of braised pork for Qi Mengmeng.
The connections his father left him were enough for him to use, and there was really no need to involve any other relationships.
Feng?
In his impression, there really was an old leader who applied for retirement after his only son died on the battlefield. It was said that he only left behind a little grandson. Could it be the Grandpa Feng that Qi Mengmeng met?
If it was that person, what he said might actually be possible.
However, Gu Guizhi wanted to move up with his own abilities.
Seeing that Gu Guizhi's attitude was calm, Qi Mengmeng didn't mention the matter anymore. Although she felt that Lei Lei was rather pitiful, she decided to forget about this kind of exchange of family affection.
Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng are open-minded, but it's just the opposite with Grandpa Feng.
Lei Lei asked Grandpa Feng as soon as he entered the room: "Grandpa, can I sleep with my mom tonight?"
Facing his grandson's eager eyes, Grandpa Feng shook his head: "Leilei, she is not your mother."
Lei Lei's eyes immediately had tears, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Grandpa, I want to sleep with Mom."
Although Lei Lei has been sensible since he was a child, he is still young after all. Even though he knows that Qi Mengmeng is not his biological mother, he still insists on calling Qi Mengmeng "Mom".
What Grandpa Feng said to Qi Mengmeng just now was a test, but now he really wants Lei Lei to recognize Qi Mengmeng as his godmother.
He is getting older and older. He was injured in his early years and his health is not very good. If something happens to him in the future, Lei Lei has a godfather and godmother who can take care of him.
If Qi Mengmeng had agreed just now, he might still hesitate, but Qi Mengmeng did not agree, which shows that this person has good character. He is now considering entrusting Lei Lei to Qi Mengmeng and his wife.
Knowing that it was Qi Mengmeng who saved Lei Lei, he had already checked the family situation of Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi, and even asked someone to check the situation of Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan.
Overall, he was satisfied. Although Qi Huilan's background had some flaws, he knew that the darkness would soon pass and these would not be a problem.
He was thinking about something, Leilei shook his arm: "Grandpa, can I sleep with mom?"
"Leilei, your mother has to take care of Captain Gu and is not available to take care of you. You should sleep with Aunt Feng first." Grandpa Feng came back to his senses.
Lei Lei was a little unhappy, but he still knew his limits. After his meal, Feng Lian coaxed him to play for a while and then he went to the next box to sleep.
Grandpa Feng looked out the window for a while and suddenly said, "Daqing, what do you think of Qi Mengmeng?"
Hu Daqing was Grandpa Feng's bodyguard. He took out the medicine bottle and poured a glass of water for Grandpa Feng: "Leader, you need to take medicine."
Grandpa Feng took the medicine and shook his head at him: "You."
Hu Daqing has been with Grandpa Feng for about ten years. Apart from protecting Grandpa Feng's safety and taking care of Grandpa Feng's life, he hardly expresses his opinions on other matters.
Hu Daqing just touched his head and chuckled twice.
Grandpa Feng is actually very satisfied with Hu Daqing. He is a man of few words but has a keen eye. It has been very good having followed him for so many years.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hu Daqing went to open the door. Doctor Sun put a handful of money on the table and said respectfully, "Old leader, this is what Comrade Qi gave me."
Grandpa Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for coming along this time."
Doctor Sun quickly said, "What the old leader said is wrong. Captain Gu was also injured for the country. As a doctor, it is my instinct to save the dying and heal the wounded."
The two men exchanged a few more words, and then Dr. Sun said goodbye and left.
Grandpa Feng looked at the money on the table, put it away, and lay back on the bed.
Although Hu Daqing was also lying on the bed, he was not asleep and was always paying attention to the movements outside.
Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi had no such concerns and both slept well.
The next day after breakfast, Feng Lian brought Lei Lei over. Lei Lei looked at Gu Guizhi lying on the bed and handed him the candy in his hand: "Dad, this candy is for you. You will be fine after you eat it."
Hearing this address, Qi Mengmeng glanced at Feng Lian, who lowered her head and said nothing.
Qi Mengmeng didn’t know what Grandpa Feng said to Feng Lian, but Leilei was just a child. If he came over, Qi Mengmeng couldn’t push him away.
Qi Mengmeng played with Lei Lei with toys and even took out some White Rabbit milk candy for him to eat. Lei Lei smiled happily in Qi Mengmeng's arms.
It was not until the conductor came to inform them to get off the train that Lei Lei followed Feng Lian and left reluctantly.
"Mom, I will come to see you and Dad." Lei Lei said to Qi Mengmeng when he left.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and nodded.
After Leilei left, Gu Guizhi said, "It seems that we can't avoid this godson."
Lei Lei kept calling them mom and dad, but Feng Lian didn't say anything to refute it. It was obvious that Grandpa Feng agreed to this.
Unless the two of them can refuse to be called Lei Lei, but Qi Mengmeng has raised Lei Lei for a few days and he has never refused, and it is unlikely that he will refuse in the future.
Grandpa Feng's move was an open conspiracy, and neither Gu Guizhi nor Qi Mengmeng could refuse.
Qi Mengmeng also realized it, but she was still a little surprised: "I rejected him yesterday, why is Grandpa Feng still so persistent?"
Gu Guizhi didn't know the reason, but he felt that it was not bad to have a godson. In case he couldn't have children in the future, Qi Mengmeng would have someone to rely on.
It can be said that Grandpa Feng and Gu Guizhi’s ideas are consistent from a certain perspective.
When the train arrived at the station and Qi Mengmeng pushed Gu Guizhi's wheelchair slowly out of the exit, Grandpa Feng was no longer there.
Jian Tianhao walked forward and helped Qi Mengmeng push the wheelchair, and told them that they would take a car to the hospital first, and Dr. Sun was already in the car.
Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi followed Jian Tianhao into the car. Sure enough, Dr. Sun was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and resting.
With the help of Jian Tianhao, Gu Guizhi got into the car. The driver put the wheelchair in the trunk. Qi Mengmeng took the initiative to get into the car carrying the luggage.
There was a flash of surprise in Jian Tianhao's eyes. Most people would be a little reserved when seeing a car, but why was Qi Mengmeng's movements so natural?
The driver winked at Jian Tianhao. Without having time to think, he sat in the passenger seat and the car drove towards the hospital.
