Chapter 151 He Mei is here
"He Mei!" Li Wanqing exclaimed in surprise.
When He Mei saw Li Wanqing, she rushed over like a little butterfly!
"Wanqing!" He Mei hugged Li Wanqing tightly, with Nuonuo sandwiched between them, looking like a pie.
Li Wanqing was also very excited. Although He Mei said she was coming, she hadn't called before or after the Lunar New Year.
She thought something had happened and that he wouldn't be coming.
Unexpectedly, this little girl secretly came to surprise her.
Cheng Baichuan coughed, "You can be excited, but don't crush Nuonuo."
Li Wanqing quickly stepped back, and He Mei also quickly let go of Li Wanqing.
"Nono, your godmother is here!" He Mei cupped Nono's little face and gave her a big kiss.
Nono was a little confused, but she was still very happy and gave He Mei a kiss on the cheek.
He Mei was overjoyed, "Zhou Weifeng, see, I told you my goddaughter still remembers me!"
Zhou Weifeng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I remember you."
Zhou Weifeng looked at Li Wanqing and extended his hand, "Comrade Li Wanqing, it's been a long time!"
Just as Li Wanqing was about to reach out, Cheng Baichuan grabbed Zhou Weifeng's hand first.
"Comrade Zhou Weifeng, thank you for taking care of my wife and daughter when we were in Renxing Brigade," Cheng Baichuan said sincerely.
Li Wanqing glanced at him indifferently, then started talking to He Mei again.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
Li Wanqing led Nuonuo and He Mei into the house, and Cheng Baichuan also invited Zhou Weifeng to join them.
He Mei looked around the room, her smile never fading.
"This house is great, much better than the one in Renxing Brigade!"
Li Wanqing wanted to get up to pour water for the two of them, but Cheng Baichuan stopped her, saying, "You two keep talking, I'll take care of these things."
Li Wanqing did not refuse and sat down to continue chatting.
He Mei glanced at Cheng Baichuan secretly, then gave Li Wanqing a teasing look.
"Well done, you've trained him quite well!"
Li Wanqing chuckled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She didn't train him; it's just that he's feeling insecure right now, so he wants to perform well.
He Mei picked up Nuonuo and teased her, "Nuonuo, did you miss your godmother?"
Nono nodded heavily, she wanted to, she really wanted to.
He Mei was overjoyed and asked Zhou Weifeng to take out a lot of food, clothes, and toys from her bag.
“These are all New Year’s gifts from my godmother,” He Mei said happily.
Nuonuo was overjoyed and gave He Mei a quick kiss on the cheek.
So many gifts! These were the most New Year's gifts she had ever received.
The little guy's fawning manner was almost unbearable to look at. She and the other elders, including Cheng Chi, had given him quite a few gifts before, and this little guy had practically buried himself in them.
"You came all this way, and you brought so much stuff!" Li Wanqing glared at He Mei reproachfully. "These things aren't cheap. How much did they cost? I'll give you the breakdown."
Upon hearing this, He Mei immediately became displeased. "I bought it for my goddaughter. What's the point of making you pay for it?"
"How much is this? You know my family is doing well, we don't need this little bit of stuff."
Since He Mei had already said that, Li Wanqing naturally couldn't say anything more.
Cheng Baichuan poured tea, and they continued chatting, mostly about the Renxing Brigade.
He Mei spoke with great interest, while Zhou Weifeng took meticulous care of her from the side.
Even if Li Wanqing were blind, she could see something fishy now.
"What's going on between you and Zhou Weifeng?" Li Wanqing asked He Mei in a low voice.
He Mei smiled, and nodded with a rare blush.
Li Wanqing was extremely surprised. Although she had heard He Mei mention Zhou Weifeng many times on the phone, she really didn't expect the two of them to get together.
"Does your family agree?" Li Wanqing asked with concern.
He Mei's family is much better off than Zhou Weifeng's, so how could the He family not have any objections?
And she remembered that Zhou Weifeng was from Hunan Province, so would He Mei ever return to Sichuan Province?
He Mei nodded shyly, "We've already met each other's families this year."
Li Wanqing was so surprised she could hardly speak. "So fast?"
She really didn't expect the two of them to progress so quickly.
He Mei nodded. "They both agreed. They said that once they get married, they'll try to transfer back to either Sichuan or Hunan province."
"But I don't really care. Anyway, we're all together no matter where we are."
Li Wanqing frowned slightly. "What about the college entrance exam?"
He Mei explained in a low voice, "Of course we need to prepare, there's no contradiction."
Li Wanqing thought that it was indeed not contradictory, but it would be bad if the two of them couldn't get into the same school in the future.
Long-distance relationships are a real test of a relationship.
Li Wanqing didn't offer any reminders at this time, seeing that the two of them were currently very much in love, and probably didn't have much hope for the resumption of the college entrance examination.
If she were to offer advice at this point, it would actually damage their relationship.
When He Mei heard that Liu Yufen had arrived, her fiery temper flared up immediately.
“I knew the Cheng family would come looking for us, but I didn’t expect them to come here and cause trouble during the Chinese New Year.”
"Where is she? I'll go and scold her for you. I'll make sure she gets scolded back."
Li Wanqing stopped her, "Forget it, I won't let myself suffer a loss anyway."
He Mei glanced at Cheng Baichuan, "I'm just afraid that some people will force you."
Cheng Baichuan's scalp tightened. "No, I will listen to Wanqing."
Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything. If they had really listened to her, they wouldn't have argued last night.
He Mei was unaware of the inside story, so Cheng Baichuan's words were somewhat satisfactory.
"So when are you planning to kick them out?"
Cheng Baichuan explained, "She doesn't have a letter of introduction on her right now. Once the military region issues one, we'll send her away."
He Mei nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it."
He Mei and Zhou Weifeng's vacation was short. They had lunch at the military region and then left in a hurry.
Li Wanqing was very reluctant to part with him, but she couldn't keep him here.
Cheng Baichuan noticed her reluctance to part and comforted her, saying, "This time it's too rushed. Next time we'll go back to Renxing Brigade together, and you can have a proper get-together."
Li Wanqing rolled her eyes at him. "You have a vacation?"
Cheng Baichuan choked, after all, the matter of going back was not yet settled, and he couldn't make a promise to his wife.
Li Wanqing glanced into the distance again before carrying her daughter back home.
Back home, Cheng Baichuan kept staring at Nuonuo, making Nuonuo feel a little uneasy.
Nuonuo ran to Li Wanqing's side and tugged at her clothes forcefully.
"Nono, be good. Mommy will secure the grape seedlings first," Li Wanqing said as she tied the supports to the seedlings.
Nuonuo hid beside her, squeezing between Li Wanqing and the grape seedlings, burying her face in Li Wanqing's arms.
Li Wanqing was afraid of damaging the grape seedlings and also afraid that Nuonuo would fall, so she had no choice but to take Nuonuo back two steps.
"What's wrong?" Li Wanqing asked with concern, cupping Nuonuo's face in her hands.
Nono is a sensible child and wouldn't normally do this.
