Chapter 384 Cousins

Li Meier felt that Mrs. Li was a double standard. When Shanqing was going to take the exam for a scholar last year, Mrs. Li agreed a hundred times.When it's my grandson's turn, I just take my time, and it's okay to be a few years later.

Mrs. Li hugged her three grandchildren and talked for a while, and then let their cousins ​​talk together.

Dong Qi is two years older than Li Meier. He is exactly 14 years old this year. In the past two years, he has passed the age that a dog would hate, and he feels that he is an adult.His behavior is much more stable than when he was a child, but he has been thinking of his sister Meier very much for the past two years, and now seeing Li Meier standing in front of her smiling and pretty, there are many things he wants to say to her.I don't have to say anything, I just feel that I haven't seen each other for two years, and my sister is not the little chubby girl she was before, and she doesn't comb her hair anymore. There are fresh winter jasmine flowers on her hair, and she is even more beautiful than the winter jasmine flowers. .

Dong Qi walked around Li Meier, and said earnestly, "Sister Meier, I have missed you these two years. I didn't expect that you have grown so tall, and the flesh on your face has disappeared. You have completely changed your appearance."

Dong Wan is almost eight years old now, her face is still fleshy, and she is fatter than Li Meier's when she was a child. She wears two buns, is wrapped in a red necklace, and wears a bright red jacket and skirt. She is festive and pleasing , also hugging Li Meier's waist, softly calling her cousin.

Li Meier hugged Dong Wan, gave her a piece of cake, then looked at Dong Qi again, and said with a smile: "Cousin Qi has also grown a lot taller, he looks like an adult now."

Dong Yong watched his brother and Li Meier show courteousness, and hurried over without showing any weakness, and said, "Sister, sister, I miss you too, no less than my brother."

"Go aside, didn't you see me talking to Sister Mei'er?" Dong Qi was a little dissatisfied, pretending to be the eldest brother, and taught him a lesson.

Dong Yongcai didn't follow his brother's tricks, and still circled around Li Meier.

Brother Kang on the side looked at the two cousins ​​with some distaste, thinking how the two brothers saw his sister like a bee seeing honey, and kept walking around, like what Brother Shanqing said... ...Lick the dog.

Dong Qi didn't know what his little cousin thought of him, so he still smiled and said to Li Meier, "I brought you a gift. There are also Shanqing, Brother Kang and Brother Jian."

Li Meier smiled, "Thank you cousin."

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.

After talking for a while, Li Meier hugged Jian Geer and took Dong Qi and Dong Yong out to play.Mrs. Jiang and Nanny Lin went to arrange food together, while Li Qingqing and Mrs. Li continued to talk about themselves.

Mrs. Li hasn't seen her two grandchildren for many years, so she said again and again, "Brother Qi and Brother Yong are growing more handsome, especially Brother Yong, who is even prettier than when you were young."

Li Qingqing smiled, "Better than me and his father. But mother, don't always say in front of Brother Qi, this kid is very jealous."

Mrs. Li smiled, "He's still a child. This is his own brother, treat him wisely, and he will never hurt you."

Li Qingqing sighed, "My son is not as sensible as my daughter. You can see Mei Meier's sensible appearance now, which is reassuring."

Mrs. Li smiled, "It's not about men and women, Mei Meier has been sensible since she was a child, she looks like a young adult at a young age, and she is the eldest daughter, so naturally she matures earlier."

"Yes." Li Qingqing smiled, "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."

Mrs. Li said sadly, "That's fine, don't grow too much. Our family is a small family. If this girl is really too good looking, I'm afraid it will attract the covetousness of those who are interested. "

Li Qingqing just comforted her mother, "Mother, don't think too much, this state is so big, there are many good daughters born, and our Mei Meier is not the first one, and it is not because of her uncle and Liangchen's guardian Come on, besides, A Yan is also a candidate now, even if he can't pass the Jinshi exam in the future, it won't be a big problem to get a half-job. By then, our family will become a family of officials, who would dare to call our Mei Meier's attention. "

Mrs. Li thinks about it, and she hopes that her son will be able to live up to his expectations, and come back from the Jinshi examination next year, so that when he becomes a court official, he can also protect the family.

"I haven't congratulated my mother yet, and I have another grandson. Our family is finally thriving. After talking about Li Meier, Li Qingqing talked about Brother Jian again, with a look of relief on his face.

"Who says it's not? Thinking about Ayan's daughter-in-law who gave birth to Mei Meier and didn't move for three years, how could I have thought that she would give me two big fat grandchildren." Speaking of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Li also smiled With folds out, he looked like he was comforted by an old woman.

"I told you mother a long time ago that my younger brother and sister are good. You always thought she was not pleasing to me. As I said, it is really hard to find a daughter-in-law of the Wang family like my younger brother and sister even with a lantern." Li Qingqing continued. It's a compliment to Jiang Shi.

"Your brother is also good. You don't know how much he loves his wife and daughter-in-law, and he is motivated. Ayan's daughter-in-law can marry into our family. She is very lucky." Satisfied, but still did not forget to say something to his son, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Our men are all good, your father and your younger brother are both responsible for taking care of the family. My uncle is also very good, and you are also proud of yourself , have two sons, and live their lives on and off for the rest of their lives."

Mrs. Li sighed and asked again, "When is the son-in-law planning to go to the capital?"

"Everything is packed. I originally planned to leave in March. Hey, mother, you don't know..."

Li Qingqing was very embarrassed to speak, and Mrs. Li thought that there was something wrong with her daughter, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Qingqing whispered, "Our master is going to continue, people are optimistic about it, and the date has been fixed, it will be in May. Originally, we were going to leave for the capital in March, but the master insisted that we wait there to fill in the house and enter the door. Walk."

Mrs. Li spat on the ground at that time, and scolded, "What! A house filling is more important than a son-in-law's future! This is instigating your master to take care of you before you enter the door, but after entering the door, you can still have good things." !"

Mrs. Li sneered, "The soil on your mother-in-law's grave is not yet dry, and your father-in-law is going to continue the string. His speed is not slow!"

"Is there any way to do this? My father-in-law insisted on continuing, and my second uncle said a few more words, and got hit twice."

Li Qingqing sighed, "If the father-in-law just takes in a few people in the room, we dare not say too much, but the sequel is not a trivial matter."
