Qi Mengmeng handed him the things: "I just bought some food."
Qi Zhijun looked at the bag full of food and was very touched. He whispered, "You are back at your own father's house. Why do you need to buy food? Do you have enough money? Dad will give you some?"
Qi Mengmeng quickly stopped him: "I have money in my hand, you don't need to take it."
She winked at him. Qi Zhijun had given her money last time they were in Beijing.
Qi Zhijun then smiled and looked at Gu Guizhi, with the smile on his face fading a little: "Guizhi, Mengmeng is my only daughter, you must treat her well in the future."
"I understand, Captain Qi." Gu Guizhi nodded.
"You still call me Captain Qi. Since you married my daughter, you can't call me Dad." Qi Zhijun was waiting for Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi looked at Qi Mengmeng, and his meaning was very clear: he would only call him dad if Qi Mengmeng called him dad.
Qi Mengmeng looked at the expressions of the two and always felt that they had discussed it in advance.
Qi Zhijun looked at Qi Mengmeng with trepidation in his eyes: "Mengmeng?"
Qi Mengmeng met Qi Zhijun's hopeful eyes and called out, "Dad."
"Hey, hey." Qi Zhijun turned his head, touched his face with his hand, and pulled Qi Mengmeng inside.
Gu Guizhi, who stayed behind, also called out, "Dad."
"Yeah." Qi Zhijun responded casually, and pulled Qi Mengmeng to sit down at the table in the living room: "Mengmeng, are you hungry? I'll make you a cup of malted milk?"
"No, Dad. We'll have dinner soon." Qi Mengmeng called Dad the first time, and it felt much more natural the next time she called him that.
Qi Zhijun thought for a moment, then made half a cup of malted milk for Qi Mengmeng and placed it in front of her.
"Just make half a cup and drink it as water."
Qi Mengmeng could only take it and drink a sip, then showed Qi Zhijun what she brought: "I bought a roast chicken, which I will tear apart and use as a dish later. There is also a piece of meat here, which should be fine until tomorrow."
"The weather is dry now, eating some pears is good for your throat."
Qi Zhijun kept nodding his head, saying, "My daughter is the best. She thinks of me."
Zheng Meili, who came out with a spatula in her hand, stopped when she heard this, and came out after a minute: "Mengmeng is here? The food is almost ready."
Qi Mengmeng called out to Aunt Zheng and said she was going to help Zheng Meili cook. Qi Zhijun pushed her down on a stool and said, "Your Aunt Zheng is almost done, so don't go. I'm going to disassemble the roast chicken."
Qi Zhijun brought the roast chicken and meat into the kitchen and said to Zheng Meili, "Meili, look, we are also enjoying the blessing of having a daughter. This is the roast chicken that Mengmeng bought. We will eat it tonight and the meat tomorrow."
"When you cook meat tomorrow, save some and I'll send it to Meng Meng."
Zheng Meili listened to Qi Zhijun in silence, occasionally saying "hmm".
Qi Zhijun didn't pay attention to Zheng Meili's mood. He put the roast chicken on a plate and took it out, and did not forget to remind her: "Meili, I'll take the roast chicken out first. Hurry up and serve the other dishes."
Zheng Meili nodded and Qi Zhijun walked out.
Qi Zhijun put the roast chicken in front of Qi Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, you eat the chicken leg. This roast chicken looks delicious."
There are plenty of roast chickens in Qi Mengmeng's space. She can eat them anytime she wants. These are specially brought for Qi Zhijun. She is not that greedy. Besides, Zheng Meili hasn't sat down at the table yet, so she won't start eating first. She hates the behavior of eating before the cook sits down.
"Dad, let's wait for Aunt Zheng. I'll go get the chopsticks." Qi Mengmeng didn't want to sit here all the time.
"You sit down, I'll get it." Qi Zhijun went to get the chopsticks, and Zheng Meili followed suit and brought out the dishes.
You can tell at first glance that today's dishes were prepared with great care. There are stewed spare ribs, stir-fried shredded pork with chili, scrambled eggs, and eggplant with minced meat. All four dishes are meat, which is a very high standard.
Qi Mengmeng stood up and said, "Aunt Zheng, thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Meili smiled and said, "You come to my house for dinner, so I should cook something good. If you want to eat something in the future, just come to my house and I will cook it for you."
Qi Zhijun also said: "Yes, if you want to eat anything, just tell your Aunt Zheng, your Aunt Zheng's cooking skills are pretty good."
Qi Mengmeng smiled politely. Qi Zhijun was really enthusiastic, but Zheng Meili was obviously just being fake.
Qi Zhijun first picked up a chicken leg for Qi Mengmeng, and then called everyone: "Everyone, eat your food."
Everyone took a piece of food with chopsticks and praised Zheng Meili for her excellent cooking.
Qi Mengmeng also took a bite of the chicken leg. This was the heavy love of her father and she had to eat it.
At this time, there was a sound of keys turning at the door, and Zheng Yingying appeared at the door. She took a deep breath and shouted, "Mom, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good."
Qi Mengmeng swallowed the chicken leg in her mouth and looked at Zheng Meili. This couldn't be a way for Zheng Meili to show her power, right?
Zheng Meili was surprised: "Yingying, why are you back today?"
Zheng Yingying washed her hands first, then came over, picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I came back today to get some clothes. Mom, what day is today? Why are you eating so well?"
Qi Zhijun coughed, pointed at Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi and said, "Yingying, this Mengmeng, this is Mengmeng's husband, Deputy Head Gu."
Qi Mengmeng stood up and said politely to Zheng Yingying, "Hello."
Zheng Yingying was chewing meat in her mouth. She wanted to reach out her hand, but found that her hands were greasy. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "My hands are greasy, so I won't shake hands with you."
Qi Mengmeng sat down: "It's okay."
Zheng Yingying acted coquettishly to Qi Zhijun: "Dad, why didn't you tell me that Sister Mengmeng was coming? I didn't even prepare in advance."
Qi Zhijun first glanced at Qi Mengmeng, and when he saw that her expression was normal, he said, "Shouldn't you be at work today? We didn't know you were coming back."
"Okay, Dad. If you guys don't come back, you have to treat me to a delicious meal when you come back." Zheng Yingying's attitude towards Qi Zhijun was like her own daughter.
Qi Mengmeng watched the two people talking, smiled, and continued eating.
Zheng Meili looked at Zheng Yingying lovingly, "Okay, you are already grown up, and you are still acting like a spoiled brat to your dad. Your sister Yingying is here so hard, hurry up and sit down to eat."
Zheng Yingying dragged a stool over and sat between Qi Zhijun and Zheng Meili. She first picked up a piece of pork ribs for Qi Zhijun with chopsticks: "Dad, these are your favorite pork ribs."
Qi Mengmeng watched Zheng Yingying's performance without saying a word.
Gu Guizhi grabbed Qi Mengmeng's hand under the table. Qi Mengmeng turned her head and smiled at him, meaning that she was fine.
Not to mention that she is not the original owner, even if she is the original owner, she has no idea about Qi Zhijun, so Qi Mengmeng has no idea about Zheng Yingying's seemingly "provocative" coquettishness.
She ate and drank as she should, and nodded when someone spoke to her.
Gu Guizhi looked a little worried when he saw her. Qi Zhijun also noticed something was wrong and said to Zheng Yingying, "Eat first and stop talking."
