Chapter 13 Cousin
Because Jiang had just conceived a child, less than three months old, and the fetus was not seated, Mrs. Li couldn't talk about it, but she couldn't help it, so she told her daughter about it.

Li Qingqing was very happy when she found out that Mrs. Jiang was pregnant, and returned to her mother's house with her two sons.

When Mrs. Li saw her two grandchildren, she became more and more happy. She took out the snacks from Guanweiju that she had treasured and gave them to her two little grandchildren.

"Mother, we want to play with sister Meier." Li Qingqing's eldest son, Dong Qi, looked at Li Qingqing and said.Li Qingqing's two sons are five years old and three years old, both older than Li Meier.

"Go, go, your sister Mei'er should be in the yard right now." Mrs. Li said with a smile on her face.

Dong Qi took his younger brother Dong Yong and ran to the backyard excitedly.

"Aqi, slow down, watch your brother closely, don't let him fall." Li Qingqing watched the two boys running fast, and warned behind him worriedly.

"Understood, mother!" Dong Qi disappeared without turning his head.

Li Qingqing was a little tired and sat down on the chair with her stomach in her hands, sighed and said: "I just hope this baby will give birth to a daughter, the boy is too naughty, and having these two is enough for me."

"It's good to have a daughter, it's caring." Mrs. Li agreed with a smile. Her daughter already has two sons, and her waist is already strong enough. It is a blessing to have a daughter and have both sons and daughters.

"It's best to give birth to someone like Mei Meier. If he gives birth well, he will find a husband's family in the future."

"I'm not boasting. The children in our family are all first-class in appearance. Look at you and your brother. When you were young, as long as I took you out, who would not praise you for being a good boy? Memeer even She is a well-known symbolic girl in these ten miles and eight townships. The Wen woman who delivered our Mei Meier said that she has delivered so many children, and none of them are as good as our Mei Meier. This is all inherited from me. The old man's good looks." Mrs. Li boasted endlessly, completely unaware of thick-skinned.

Li Qingqing smiled and didn't say anything. She was actually quite self-aware. She and her younger brother looked handsome at best. She was better than her younger brother because she looked more like her late father. Her younger brother was not like her mother. It was carved out of a mold, if it wasn't for his brother's good stature, he would be a passerby's face.Being able to marry beauties like his younger siblings can be regarded as improving the genes of their old Li family.

Fortunately, Mei Mei'er looks like her mother. If she really looks like Mrs. Li, it may be difficult for her to find a husband's family when she grows up.

"My younger brother and younger sister are finally pregnant, mother, you can finally rest assured. I brought some bird's nests here to make up for you and your younger siblings." Li Qingqing changed the subject and took out a wooden box from her luggage.

"Yo! I know this stuff. It's something rich people often eat. I heard it's very expensive." Mrs. Li always judges the luxury of a thing by its price.

"The big family eats high-quality bird's nest, but mine is low-grade. It's not that expensive. It's a gift from a friend who sells north-south goods on Liangchen. Mom, remember to pick out the bird's nest before eating it." Li Qingqing smiled. He reminded Mrs. Li.

"It's good for you to keep this thing for yourself, and you should make up for it." Mrs. Li carefully opened the wooden box, looked at the white bird's nest inside, and thought about how to eat this thing.

"I still have some at home. It's just for you and your siblings." As she said this, she asked again, "Where are your siblings? Resting in the house?"

Li Qingqing came here after lunch, and it's just after the end of time.

"After lunch, I asked her to go back to her room to rest. She is just pregnant, so she is very sleepy." Mrs. Li replied with a smile.Li Qingqing nodded, and said like someone who came over: "It is necessary to rest more. This is the most critical time. After three months, it will be safe."

"If everything goes well, I will be able to hold my grandson in October." Mrs. Li counted the days, smiling blindly.

"It's a good day, it's not too cold at that time, and my siblings don't have to suffer." Li Qingqing said with a smile.

Mrs. Li also thinks this day is a good day. Anyway, in her opinion, as long as the grandson is born, no matter what month it is, it is a good day.

Mrs. Li's mother and daughter are chatting here, Dong Qi and Dong Yong have already found Li Mei'er in the yard.

She is playing backgammon with Jiang Shanqing. Jiang Shanqing taught her this backgammon. It is easy to understand and very interesting. It is also convenient to use local materials. Just draw a grid with charcoal on the ground and find some small stones of different colors. can play.

Dong Qi saw Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing squatting on the ground, and asked very curiously, "Sister Meier, what are you doing?"

Li Meier saw Dong Qi brothers now, stood up and smiled and said to them: "Brother Qi, Brother Yong, you are here, I am playing backgammon."

"What is backgammon?" Dong Qi is about five years old and almost six years old. Dong Liangchen has already taught him at home. He knows go, but he has never heard of backgammon.

"I can't tell. Brother Shanqing taught me. It's fun." Li Meier pulled Jiang Shanqing aside and said.

"Who is he? Is he your new neighbor, Sister Mei'er?" Dong Qi had never met Jiang Shanqing, and only thought he was the child of Li's neighbor.

"Brother Shanqing is my cousin." Li Meier introduces Jiang Shanqing like this now, anyway, he also calls her uncle and adoptive father.

Dong Qi nodded without thinking too much, he was more interested in the backgammon that Li Meier was talking about at the moment.

"Sister, teach me how to play backgammon, and I'll give you this cloud cake." Dong Qi took out the cake that Mrs. Li gave him, and prepared to bribe Li Meier.

Li Meier looked at the cake in his hand, hesitated and said: "One bag is not enough, brother Shanqing taught me this backgammon, if I taught you, you have to give him a bag too."

Jiang Shanqing, who squatted aside and said nothing, showed a look of disgust on his face, thinking to himself, who wants this little kid's cake.

Dong Qi was a little embarrassed, and immediately looked at Dong Yong beside him.

Dong Yong vigilantly hid the pastry behind him, shook his head and said, "I don't want to play chess, I want to eat some snacks."

"Second brother, be good, big brother will buy it for you in two days, and buy you your favorite crab shell yellow." Dong Qi smiled and coaxed his little brother.

Dong Yong was still a little reluctant, his brother's words were never reliable, and he didn't have the money to buy crab shell roe for himself.

"It's a big deal, I'll lend you my slingshot for two days. It's okay." Dong Qi said again after paying a lot of money.

"Then let's make an agreement, don't renege on your debt when the time comes." Dong Yong immediately handed the pastry to Dong Qi, for fear that he would go back on his word.
