“Get in!” Qin Xiaomin said hoarsely.
At this time, if she still didn’t know that her Uncle’s call was for Li Yong, then she would be a complete fool.
Li Yong took a few steps forward and happened to see Li Lei getting out of the big car.
He said hurriedly. “Big Brother, you should go back first. Don’t wait for me. I might not be going home today.”
Li Lei wanted to return to his father-in-law’s house, so he nodded. “Alright.”
Li Yong couldn’t wait to get into the car. Before he could even put on his seat belt, the car had already rushed out.
“Why is she driving so fast?” Meng Qingxin felt a little strange.
Ji Yuanyuan, however, knew the reason. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Her Second Uncle must have suffered a lot in H City during this period of time. When people were suffering, they would especially miss their loved ones.
And Auntie Xiaomin knew that Second Uncle had gone to the disaster area, so she must have been very worried about him.
Under such circumstances, they must have wanted to find a place with no one around to confide in each other.
Qin Mucheng saw the sly smile on Ji Yuanyuan’s face and asked curiously, “Yuanyuan, what are you smiling at?”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and innocently said, “Because I sat in Grandpa Meng’s car. That’s why I’m happy!”
Qin Mucheng held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and said confidently, “You like this car too? When I get back, I’ll buy you one with my red packet money.”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and then laughed even more happily. “Are you stupid? It’s useless even if you buy it. No one in our family knows how to drive it!”
“Me, me, me! Brother Mucheng, you can buy it. I’ll drive it when I grow up! I’ll take you guys for a ride!” Ji Zi’ang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan glared at him in annoyance. “You think this car is cheap? If you want to open it, buy it yourself!”
He only knew how to join in the fun.
When Ji Zi’ang heard that, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a very strange expression, which made Ji Yuanyuan’s hair stand on end.
“Second Brother, why are you looking at me like that?” she rubbed her arms.
Seeing such a serious expression on Ji Zi’ang’s face was a little scary.
“Ji Yuanyuan, you haven’t even married Brother Mucheng yet, and you’re already feeling heartache over his money?” Ji Zi’ang said in all seriousness.
When she heard this, Qin Mucheng’s face turned red.
He looked at Ji Yuanyuan, and even his ears started to turn red.
Qin Junshan also laughed. “Yuanyuan, you don’t have to save money for Mucheng. He is rich.”
Ji Yuanyuan was thick-skinned and would not be shy just because of a few jokes.
She raised her head and smiled at Qin Mucheng. She said seriously, “Even if you have money, you can’t just spend it like that.”
Li Lei and Meng Qingxin said a few words to Zhang Kun before driving home.
On the way back, Li Lei was a little nervous.
After all, he didn’t tell Meng Xiaoning when he left, and he had promised to accompany Meng Xiaoning to the hospital for a prenatal examination.
“Father, you have to say more good things about me when we go back.” Li Lei reminded Meng Qingxin.
After spending a week together, the relationship between Li Lei and his father-in-law, Meng Qingxin, had improved by leaps and bounds.
Meng Qing, who was driving, agreed immediately, “That’s for sure.”
When they arrived home, Liang Huimei was washing clothes in the courtyard.
Meng Xiaoning was holding her stomach and walking around.
“We’re back!” Meng Qinxin pushed the door open and called out.
Liang Huimei, on the other hand, was quite happy. She quickly sat up from the stool and came up to him.” Ah, you’re back. How is it? Is everything good?”
However, the moment Meng Xiaoning saw Li Lei, she turned around and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Li Lei’s smile gradually faded.
Meng Qingxin saw that he did not move and pushed him anxiously, “Quickly go coax her!”
Li Lei seemed to have just come back to his senses. After shouting “Mom,” he rushed into the house and coaxed Meng Xiaoning.
Meng Qingxin helplessly shook his head, “This silly boy!”
Liang Huimei gave him a punch and said, “He doesn’t know what’s going on, and neither do you? Xiaoning’s pregnant, and you took your son-in-law away. Xiaoning must feel terrible.”
These men had never been pregnant before, so they could not understand the hardships of pregnancy.
Meng Qingxin immediately said, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I’m so sleepy. I’ve been driving all night. Give me some time to sleep. You can scold me when I wake up.”
Liang Huimci’s heart ached when she heard that.
She pulled Meng Qingxin into the house. “Hurry up and get some rest. You’re so old, yet you’re still learning to drive late at night from the young people!”
Meng Qingxin sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, “I can’t help it. Everyone hasn’t had a hot meal for many days. Aren’t they in a hurry to come back for a hot meal? There are only a few hundred miles left, so we might as well rush back in one breath.”
Upon hearing Meng Qingxin’s words, Liang Huimci’s heart ached even more. “Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you!”
Meng Qingxin knew that his boss was a soft-hearted person, so he immediately said, “I have. I ate at Li Lei’s Sister’s place.”
Liang Huimei didn’t say anything. She brought Meng Qingxin back to the house and unrolled his blanket. “Go to sleep. I won’t disturb you.”
Meng Qingxin was indeed very sleepy. He fell asleep within a few seconds after he got on the bed.
Meng Xiaoning sat on the edge of the Kang in another room, silently crying.
Li Lei stood behind her and was at a loss. “Xiaoning, don’t cry. I know I was wrong. I’ll listen to you in the future.”
Meng Xiaoning touched her stomach and said, “You don’t take us, mother and children, to heart. You know my situation, but you still make me worry. I’m already a few months pregnant. How many days have you taken care of me? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have married you no matter what.”
Li Lei was a little flustered when Meng Xiaoning says such a heavy thing. “I’m really sorry. I know I was too selfish this time.”
He turned to Meng Xiaoning and reached out his hand, trying to wipe her tears carefully.
But Meng Xiaoning slapped his hand away in a fit of pique.
Li Lei was a little discouraged, and his tone became low. “When I found out that my old comrades were among the people who went to the disaster area to help, I just wanted to go and take a look. I thought that I might be able to see those comrades again.”
Li Lei’s words made Meng Xiaoning’s expression relax a little.
Although she had never been in the army, she could understand this kind of comradeship.
After all, he was someone who had been fighting alongside her for the past eight years.
He should be very reluctant, right?
When he retired back then, it was not out of his heart.
“Did you see them?” Meng Xiaoning could not help but ask.
“I see them!” Li Lei’s expression suddenly brightened up. “Although it’s only from far away, I feel like I’m fighting alongside them.”
After hearing Li Lei’s words, Meng Xiaoning let out a long sigh and could no longer be angry..
