Chapter 14 Bet
Li Mei'er got two packs of dim sum, she immediately beamed, she knew it was the dim sum her grandmother locked in the cupboard, bought from Guanweiju, and she was never willing to give it to her on weekdays, except during the holidays, she only got a few yuan.

"Brother Qi, come here, I'll teach you." Li Meier is a trustworthy person, Dong Qi gave her some snacks, and she taught him how to play backgammon very seriously.

At Dong Qi's age, it was time for him to play a lot. Knowing a new game, he naturally wanted to find someone to play with immediately, so he said to Li Meier: "Sister Meier, let's play a game."

Li Meier always lost when playing with Jiang Shanqing, she wanted to find someone else to practice her hand for a long time, so she readily nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, because of unfamiliarity, Dong Qi lost several games in a row. After the game went smoothly, he and Li Meier played back and forth, and often couldn't tell the winner for a long time.

Li Meier was a little depressed. She admitted that Dong Qi was very smart. In his previous life, he was very good at reading. He passed the examination of scholar when he was 12 years old. He is a famous child prodigy here.But my current actual age is ten years older than him, and it is really a shame that I can only draw with him.

Jiang Shanqing was idle and had nothing to do, and had been watching the battle from the sidelines. Seeing that Li Meier was about to lose, she couldn't help complaining: "You girl is really stupid."

Even a five- or six-year-old child can't compare, it's really useless to grow so many years.

When Li Meier heard Jiang Shanqing's words, she was a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Then you come down!"

Jiang Shanqing immediately pushed Li Meier aside, and said disdainfully, "I'll let you three sons!"

Dong Qi took a deep breath, thinking to himself, did sister Meier's cousin look down on him? He decided to teach him a lesson.

"Cousin Meier, if I beat you, you have to give me back my dim sum." Dong Qi looked at Jiang Shanqing and said unconvinced.

Jiang Shanqing sneered, "No problem, you can return both packages, but what if you lose?"

"Hey, I didn't agree." Li Meier was in a hurry, that was her snack, why would Jiang Shanqing bet on her stuff.

"I'll buy you another ten packs later." Jiang Shanqing replied impatiently.

Li Mei'er curled her lips when she heard the words, and muttered in a low voice: "Liar, how can you have any money..."

Jiang Shanqing ignored her and only looked at Dong Qi.Dong Qi was cruel, and said: "If I lose, I will give you my slingshot."

Jiang Shanqing was not interested in ancient children's toys, but he felt that he wanted to teach the kid in front of him a lesson, so he nodded and said, "Then it's settled."

After deciding on the bet, the two began to play chess.

Backgammon means paying attention to a strategy. Jiang Shanqing was fascinated by it for a while when he was a child, and he also studied it specially. He is also very familiar with some tactics in backgammon. He can beat Dong Qi, a novice, if he picks out any one. .

Sure enough, the chess game lasted only a few minutes, and it ended with Dong Qi's disastrous defeat, and Dong Qi's face turned pale.Thinking that his beloved little slingshot was about to leave him, he felt a burst of heartache.

"Bring it." Jiang Shanqing patted the dust on his hands, stood up and said.

Dong Qi's face was flushed, his eye sockets were a little red, and he didn't move for a long time.

Seeing Dong Qi's appearance, Li Meier quickly persuaded: "Brother Shanqing, forget it, you don't like playing with slingshots." She winked at him while talking, but he was not as bullying to children as he was. Small too!

"Then forget it." Jiang Shanqing said indifferently, he didn't want to bully the child, and if Dong Qi hadn't raised the bet at the beginning, he wouldn't have accepted it.

"I'll give it to you, a man keeps his word." Dong Qi gritted his teeth, took out a small slingshot from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Shanqing.

Jiang Shanqing didn't refuse, and took it, thinking that this kid didn't play tricks just because he was a child, but thought he was a little higher.

Dong Yong, who was on the side, quit, crying and said: "Brother, you agreed to lend me the slingshot to play with, I'm going to tell mother, you lied to me!" After speaking, he ran away crying.

"Damn it!" Dong Qi was afraid that his stupid brother would really complain to his mother, so he immediately ran after him.

"Let's go after them too!" Li Meier was afraid that they would suffer disaster, so she pulled Jiang Shanqing to chase them forward.

Although Dong Yong said he had short legs, he ran quite fast. Dong Qi didn't catch up. When he caught up to the front hall, Dong Yong was already sobbing and complaining to Li Qingqing.

Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing hid behind the door, looking inside.

After listening for a long time, Li Qingqing finally understood the cause and effect. She couldn't laugh or cry, and slapped Dong Yong's butt, "You boy is really worthless. You still cry about such a trivial matter, and you still complain to my mother. If you have the ability, you can find your brother yourself." to come back."

Dong Yong became more aggrieved, and cried loudly, "Brother, he's always lying to me!"

Dong Qi stood aside awkwardly, and defended in a low voice: "I didn't intend to lie to him, I didn't expect to lose the slingshot to Sister Meier's cousin..."

Mrs. Li also understood at this moment, knowing that her granddaughter and Jiang's boy had cheated the snacks and toys of the two grandchildren, and immediately scolded angrily: "Where are those two little bastards, go and get them back to my mother." Come on, why are you just doing some deceitful things at such a young age."

"Mother! No, it's just a play between children." Li Qingqing said dumbfounded, and then asked with some doubts: "Who is Mei'er's cousin?"

Mrs. Li was still a little angry, and replied angrily: "It's the illegitimate son of my uncle, who looks honest and honest, but I didn't expect him to be thoughtful."

"It's that child, why is he in our house?" Li Qingqing looked surprised, wondering why the Jiang family's illegitimate child came to their house.

"Your younger brother and sister brought them back. I thought the little guy was pitiful, so I agreed with him to stay. Anyway, it's just a matter of extra chopsticks. It's also a favor for my in-laws." Once Mrs. Li paid me, it was all for helping The in-laws are busy.

Li Qingqing knew that Jiang's family must have contributed money, otherwise, with her mother's temperament, how could she help others raise children for nothing.

"Where is that child? Let me meet him. I'm also his elder, so I should give him a gift." Li Qingqing was curious about Jiang Yanzhi's illegitimate child, and wanted to see what he looked like.

Li Mei'er had been hiding outside and eavesdropping. Now that she heard her aunt's question, she thought it was a good time to go out, so she dragged Jiang Shanqing into the front hall.

"Auntie, Auntie, this is my brother Shanqing." Li Meier pushed Jiang Shanqing in front of Li Qingqing and said proudly.
