Chapter 21 Dragon Boat Festival
Early in the morning on the fifth day of May, Li Meier woke up just after dawn. She was so excited last night that she didn't sleep well. She was too excited to go out to watch the Dragon Boat Festival today.

Jiang found out the new clothes she had just made a few days ago, carried Li Meier off the bed, and dressed her.

"You remember you must listen to your father and uncle today, don't run around, come back early, don't play crazy." Jiang's hands kept moving, and his mouth kept nagging.

Li Mei'er rubbed her ears, and said helplessly, "Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I will take care of myself."

"You are only three and a half years old, you are not a child who is a child, don't be poor with your mother, do you remember what your mother said?" Jiang slapped her on the butt angrily, and cursed with a smile.

Li Meier pouted and rubbed her little butt, muttering in her heart: She is already a fifteen or sixteen year old girl, okay, she is not much younger than her mother.How can I still be spanked? It's really embarrassing.

Jiang dressed Li Meier well, washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and tied two cute buns on her head before taking her to Jiang Shanqing.

Jiang Shanqing had just woken up not long ago, but he had already dressed and washed, but he was still yawning, as if he hadn't woken up.

Seeing Jiang Shanqing's well-dressed appearance, Jiang Shi felt pity again in her heart. When the child first arrived, she wanted to help him dress and wash like she did for Meier, but he rejected him verbally, saying It's because he has been doing these things by himself since he was two years old, and even his own mother won't let him help.

Jiang can only lament that the child without a mother is already in charge of the family. If her Mei Meier can be as sensible as Shanqing, she won't have to worry so much.

"Brother Shanqing, you look really good today." Li Meier looked at Jiang Shanqing's new clothes and sighed sincerely.

This dress was also made by her mother. Her mother made four new clothes out of the material her grandmother gave her, and gave two of them to her aunt's two cousins.

The material is crimson, boys and girls of their age can wear it, her mother embroidered different kinds of embroidery on it, she is plum blossom, Jiang Shanqing's is a few bamboos.

Jiang Shanqing's skin is fair, and wearing red makes him even more cute. If it weren't for the boy's hair accessories, he would definitely make people think he is a girl.

Li Meier was a little jealous of him, because she liked to play outside since she was a child, her skin was slightly tanned, and it didn't show when she was alone, but now standing with Jiang Shanqing, she looked like a local girl.

Jiang Shi looked at Jiang Shanqing's appearance, and was stunned for a moment. She knew who Jiang Shanqing's biological mother was, but just by looking at his appearance, she didn't really resemble his mother. There is still a lot of difference. Could it be that this child looks like his own father, then his own father must be a first-class person.

Mrs. Jiang had some guesses about Jiang Shanqing's life experience.

"Brother Shanqing, let's go have breakfast quickly, uncle should pick us up soon."

Mrs. Jiang was still thinking wildly, but Li Meier couldn't wait to go forward and grab Jiang Shanqing, and ran forward.

"Both of you slow down." Jiang quickly caught up and shouted helplessly.

It's still early at this moment, Li Mei'er and the others will have breakfast in Li's house, and then go to Mrs. Li's place after eating.

Li Yan was also forced to get up early today, and was already sitting at the table waiting for them.

Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of egg noodles for each person, plus a few dishes of pickles.

Li Meier didn't care about the heat, so she ate voraciously.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, there is still time." Mrs. Jiang said with a frown, not seeing Li Meier's anxious look.

Li Meier swallowed the noodles in her mouth, raised her head and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that the noodles you cooked are delicious."

"Sycophant..." Jiang Shanqing muttered something in a low voice, causing Li Meier to glare, and she stretched out her chopsticks and snatched a piece of pickled melon that Jiang Shanqing was about to pick up.

Jiang Shanqing glared at her sideways and turned his head away to ignore her.

Li Meier ate the pickles triumphantly, and continued to grab the pickles Jiang Shanqing wanted to grab.

Jiang Shanqing was prepared, and his hand speed was much faster. He didn't let Li Meier succeed again, but it made her depressed for a while.

Regardless of the noise of the two children, Mrs. Jiang carefully served Li Yan some food, and said softly, "If it weren't for my inconvenient health, I would go with the children today, so I can feel more at ease."

Li Yan ate a piece of pickled radish, and said with a smile: "Isn't there me? In other words, we two adults, can't we still look down on our two children?"

Jiang sighed softly, still worried in her tone, "You two big men are not as careful as women."

"Yingying, don't worry, even if I lose myself, I won't lose my two children." Li Yan gently squeezed Jiang's hand under the dining table, and said anxiously.

Mrs. Jiang blushed immediately, seeing that the two children were not paying attention to their side, she broke away from Li Yan's hand and patted him reproachfully.

"It's about to be the father of two children, and it's still so out of shape."

The breakfast ended in such a "joyful" atmosphere, and Li Yan and Mrs. Jiang took their two children to pay their respects to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li has also woken up at this moment, and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law coming, she said to Li Yan: "Ah Yan, remember to bring the children back early. Today is the holiday, and our family will have dinner early."

She also knew that her son was going to take the two children to see the Dragon Boat Festival today. Yesterday, Jiang Yanzhi also invited her old man to go with her. I was too interested, so I declined.

"Mother, don't worry, we will come back soon." Li Yan promised with a smile.

"Grandmother, I will bring you a gift back." Li Meier was in a good mood today, and she didn't mind flattering Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li put on a straight face, and said disapprovingly: "Don't waste money, damn girl, don't buy those useless things and take them home."

Yatou Pianzi thinks about spending money every day, but she doesn't know how hard it is to earn money.

Li Meier curled her lips, thinking that her grandmother didn't want her to spend her father's money, and if she spent her uncle's money, she would be very happy.

"Ayan, you also remember, don't buy things for Mei Er, there is everything at home, don't waste money." Mrs. Li was still nagging Li Yan.

Li Yan could only answer repeatedly, hoping that his mother would say less.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanzhi came over soon, and Li Yanfu led Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing as if he was fleeing, and hurried into the ox cart brought by Jiang Shanqing.
