Chapter 240
Li Meier took Dong Qi, Dong Yong, Dong Wan and Kang Geer to play in the yard.Dong Qi will be twelve after the new year, and he has long lost his previous white and chubby appearance, and now he is also slack, and looks like a young scholar with a white and clean appearance. He looks at Li Meier carefully, and tsk-tsk from time to time.

Seeing her appearance, Li Meier asked amusedly, "What is cousin doing?"

Dong Qi said, "I'm surprised to see that my sister has changed so much that she's no longer the chubby girl she used to be."

"Isn't it the same for you? You used to be a little fat man, but now you have become a handsome young man." Li Meier praised Dong Qi politely when she heard Dong Qi praise herself.

Then she ran to hug little Dong Wan. Little Dong Wan is now four years old, half a year older than Kang Geer, but younger than Kang Geer's. Li Meier hugged her very easily , the funny little girl giggled and laughed, she likes children the most, kissing and kissing again and again, Dong Qi and Dong Yong who are watching aside are a little bit savory.

Kang Geer was even more alarmist. Seeing a little girl who wanted to snatch her sister from him, he hurried to Li Meier and stretched out his chubby hand to her for a hug.

Li Mei'er can only hold one in one hand, but fortunately she is strong enough to be able to move in this way.

"Sister Meier, you used to only kiss me." Dong Yong said resentfully, he was a few months older than Li Meier, and now he is nine years old.I don't know if the food in the capital is too good, but now there is a trend of developing like a ball.Because her mental age is much older than Dong Yong, Li Meier has always regarded Dong Yong as her younger brother. Hearing what he said, she smiled and said: "Cousin Yong is a man now, so naturally I can't be as close as I used to be." Kiss you, I will treat you like Cousin Qi from now on, I want to respect you!"

Hearing what Li Meier said, Dong Yong felt a sense of responsibility as an older brother, and he patted his chubby chest and assured him, "Don't worry, sister Meier, brother, I will definitely protect you."

Li Meier gave Dong Yong a small look of admiration, thinking that Brother Yong is still so easy to fool, so innocent and cute.

Dong Qi gave his younger brother a disgusted look, pushed him aside, and smiled at Li Meier: "Sister Meier, I brought you a gift from the capital. There are also Brother Kang and Shanqing."

Li Meier smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Cousin Qi."

Dong Qi said, "You should call me Brother Qi like you used to, I like to hear you call me that."

Li Meier said, "That's what children call like that."

"You're not that old now, you're younger than me." Dong Qi insisted, and Li Meier called him "Brother Qi" again.

"By the way, did Shanqing go to school?" Dong Qi asked without seeing Jiang Shanqing.

"Yeah, brother Shanqing can study hard now, I knew you guys were going to come back, so I went to Mrs. Zhengu to ask for a day off, but brother Shanqing didn't want to ask for leave, saying that you didn't want to leave right away, come back in the afternoon It's okay to catch up with you again." Li Meier nodded and replied.

"Shan Qing has always been diligent, and he is so smart. I think his current knowledge must be higher than mine." Dong Qi nodded and said, with a little admiration in his tone, and then shook his head regretfully, "Originally, this year, my father still has a lot of knowledge. I was going to let me try it as a boy, but unfortunately my grandmother passed away suddenly, so I can only postpone it to three years later."

"Brother Qi is also very good. If you take part in this year's boy's test, you will definitely be a scholar." Li Meier encouraged Dong Qi with all her strength.

Dong Qi was very moved, took Li Meier's hand and said, "Sister is so kind, if only you were my real sister!" How could she look like her sister, she was four years old and stupid, nothing but food all day long? Sleeping and urinating on the bed, she remembered that sister Meier was so smart when she was her age.

Dong Wan, who was still in Li Meier's arms, looked at her brother in confusion, why did she feel that she looked at her with disgust?It doesn't matter, she doesn't like her brother anyway, how can a brother smell like a sister, the cousin smells so good, even better than her mother's smell!

Li Mei'er was in the courtyard to communicate with her cousins. Over there in Mrs. Li's room, Li Yan had already dragged Brother Dong to the study to talk, and Mrs. Jiang also said very wittily that she was going to the kitchen to see the lunch. Mrs. Li and Li Qingqing's mother and daughter were left alone to talk.

"Brother Qi is growing up now, and he looks much more handsome than before." Mrs. Li said with a smile, thinking about the appearance of her eldest grandson.

"In the past two years, he has grown white a lot. Before, I was worried that he would not be able to find a wife if he continued to be so dark and fat." Li Qingqing was also very satisfied with his son's appearance now, and said with a smile.

"Brother Qi looks like me, so it won't be ugly, but Xiaoxiao looks like her father, but it's not ugly." Mrs. Li still said with a smile, very confident in her genes .

Naturally, Li Qingqing didn't like to offend his old lady, so she immediately changed the subject and said: "I think Mei Meier is getting better and better. When I was young, I said that I would be a beauty in the future. Look at her current appearance, she is really one in a million." .”

"That's right, Mei Meier was born like me. When I was young, I was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Back then, your father saw that I was born beautiful, so he asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage." Mrs. Li is very thick-skinned He took the credit for himself again.

Li Qingqing just smiled and said nothing, thinking to herself: Mom, it’s not that I don’t know what you looked like when you were old and young. Wouldn’t your face hurt if you said that?
Mrs. Li boasted for a while, then she thought about the business again, looked at Li Qingqing seriously and asked: "This time when I go back to my hometown, my son-in-law will have to observe filial piety for three years before returning to the capital, and then the officials in the capital will still be able to return to the capital?" Continue to do it?"

Li Qingqing sighed after hearing the words, and said: "I'm afraid the Imperial Academy will not be able to go back when the time comes, there are only a few vacancies, and there are so many new Jinshi staring at each year, I guess they will seek out vacancies."

"Outside? Will he be assigned to be an official in a remote area?" Mrs. Li also asked very worriedly.

"It's hard to say, it depends on how the officials are assigned." Li Qingqing frowned and said worriedly.

Mrs. Li couldn't help complaining again, "Oh! You said that your mother-in-law is too careless. You can fall off the bed, and you are not a three-year-old child. This is really..." After a pause, Mrs. Li said, "It's really eye-opening."

"I'm so useless, and you're going to make all these troubles." Mrs. Li is really annoying her in-laws right now.
