Qi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Hu Daqing meant. He must have something to say to Gu Guizhi.
She picked up the basin, put two more clothes in it, and said with a smile: "The water in the kettle was drawn early this morning. Comrade Hu, please accompany Guizhi to talk. I will go wash two clothes."
Hu Daqing watched Qi Mengmeng go out, then closed the door before returning to the bed.
Qi Mengmeng listened to the sound of the door closing behind her and walked naturally towards the bathroom.
She would not eavesdrop on their conversation. She could tell with her toes that it was related to spies. It was better to stay away from such things as far as possible.
In order to give the two more time to talk, Qi Mengmeng slowly washed the two pieces of clothes in the bathroom and hung them up before returning to the ward.
The door of the ward was open. Qi Mengmeng walked in and found that Hu Daqing was no longer there.
"The matter has been resolved." Gu Guizhi took the initiative to speak after seeing Qi Mengmeng looking around the entire ward.
Qi Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.
Gu Guizhi waited for Qi Mengmeng to sit next to him before he whispered, "You have made a contribution this time, but because it involves some secrets, it may not be made public."
"No need to announce it." Qi Mengmeng waved her hand and went to close the door before coming back to ask in a low voice, "Is there a reward?"
Since this is a secret, there is no need to praise him, just give him a reward.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng's money-grubbing look and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Of course there are rewards, and quite a lot. They are all some banknotes. Hu Daqing will send them over in a few days."
Qi Mengmeng laughed immediately. Although she didn’t know how much, since Gu Guizhi said a lot, it was probably quite a lot.
Qi Mengmeng was halfway through laughing when she suddenly thought of Qi Lingling. She asked, "I wonder if this will have any impact on the family members?"
Gu Guizhi just specifically asked Hu Daqing this question.
"There's something wrong with that girl named Xiaoyun, but her boyfriend didn't reveal anything. Although she will be transferred, she can still keep her job."
Fortunately, Xiaoyun’s boyfriend never told Xiaoyun about his work, otherwise, not only his job, but also the jobs of his family members might not be kept.
Knowing that this was the one who took over, Qi Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Gu Guizhi and knew that there would be no problem going out next, so she wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant.
Gu Guizhi did not stop her, but only asked her to be careful and not go to places she had never been to.
Qi Mengmeng agreed readily.
When she went out this time, her attention was always on the back. She first went to the department store to buy some candies, and then bought a lot of snacks. She even found a backpack in a corner and she immediately bought one.
Qi Mengmeng put all the things she bought in before taking the bus.
It was only 4:30 when she arrived at the state-owned restaurant. The restaurant had just opened its doors, and a fat aunt asked Qi Mengmeng to come back later.
Qi Mengmeng looked inside and asked Qi Lingling if she was at work today.
The fat lady looked at Qi Mengmeng carefully before saying, "I know you. You are Lingling's friend. She went to her sister's house today and will come to work tomorrow."
Qi Mengmeng asked Qi Lingling's sister worriedly what happened?
The fat aunt sighed and said she was sick and refused to say anything else.
Qi Mengmeng took out two pieces of fruit candy from her pocket and handed them to the fat aunt, saying with a smile: "When Lingling comes tomorrow, tell her that I will come to see her tomorrow."
The fat lady took the candy and quickly put it in her pocket, promising to pass it on.
Qi Mengmeng turned around with a sad look on her face. She had a hunch that Qi Lingling's sister must have been implicated in Xiaoyun's affairs.
Qi Hao did not go to work today. All the dishes were prepared by Qi Hao's apprentices. Qi Mengmeng was in a bad mood and did not buy anything. She went straight back to the hospital.
The next day, Qi Mengmeng went to the state-owned restaurant after breakfast. At this time, there were fewer people in the state-owned restaurant, with only a few people eating.
When Qi Lingling saw Qi Mengmeng, she curled the corners of her mouth and waved at her.
The two went to the back door to talk.
"I heard from Aunt Li that you were coming to see me today. Why did you come so late? There is nothing to eat in the restaurant now?" Qi Lingling said.
"I came here after dinner. I just came to tell you that the dates have been sent. Let's see when you want them." Qi Mengmeng found an excuse.
"Really? That's great. I'll take as many as you can get." Qi Lingling's eyes were full of surprise. She held Qi Mengmeng's hand and said, "My sister is living back at her parents' home now. If you have jujubes, it's just right for her to replenish her body."
"My sister accidentally fell and is now confined to bed. The doctor told her to eat better. Although my uncle is a chef and can at most help my sister eat better, nutritional supplements are really hard to buy."
Qi Lingling's words were three parts of testing and seven parts of confession.
She couldn't tell everything about Qi Jing, but Qi Jing's condition was indeed not good. If she wasn't taken care of properly, both the adult and the child would be in danger.
During this period, the whole family was looking for nutritional supplements for Qi Jing everywhere, even the black market, and Qi Hao went there several times.
"Mengmeng, do you have any help? My sister is in bad condition and needs to eat more nutritious food?" Qi Lingling held Qi Mengmeng's hand, with a pleading tone in her voice.
Qi Mengmeng lowered her eyes slightly, then quickly raised her head and said, "Someone gave us some milk powder, I can give you a bag, I can give you all the red dates, and I can give you some brown sugar, but there is no more."
Qi Lingling's eyes were full of surprise, and she nodded continuously: "That's enough, that's enough, thank you, thank you, Mengmeng."
"I only brought dates today. I'll bring brown sugar and milk powder tomorrow." Qi Mengmeng handed the bag in her hand to Qi Lingling.
The bag she carried today was one she sewed herself, and contained three pounds of dates.
Qi Lingling opened it, took a look, and closed it immediately.
"I'll take it in first and I'll give you the money later." Qi Lingling said as she was about to go in.
"Wait, Sister Ling," Qi Mengmeng stopped her, "I'll give you some more meat and food coupons, can you exchange them for food?"
"You changed them all?" Qi Lingling was a little surprised: "That's a lot, can you finish it?"
"I'm not buying this for myself. I'm buying it for others. It would be best if they could exchange it for some meat, buns, steamed buns, etc." Qi Mengmeng didn't say much.
Qi Lingling had experienced the fickleness of human nature in the past few days, and thought that Qi Mengmeng was unwilling to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to ask my uncle how much I can get in exchange."
"It's okay, you can discuss it with Uncle Qi, and just tell me when I come in the afternoon." Qi Mengmeng trusts Qi Lingling very much.
"Don't worry, Mengmeng. You've helped my uncle so much, we definitely won't let you suffer any loss." Qi Lingling almost patted her chest to make the promise.
