The Meng family knew that Shen Qingli couldn't get up in the morning and usually slept until noon, so they didn't call her for breakfast.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the old man became restless and worried, so he asked Ye Qiu to go and take a look.
"It's good to sleep more. When I was in the late stages of my pregnancy, I couldn't sleep all night. It was very painful. But it's already noon, don't starve until dawn. I'll go check it out now."
Ye Qiu comforted the worried old man and was about to stand up.
"I'm here. Mom, Grandpa, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Lin," Shen Qingli walked in with her belly in her hand and called everyone one by one.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Your grandfather misses you, I was just thinking of going to see him.
You've come just in time. We can have dinner soon. I asked Aunt Zhang to make a pot of pork rib soup today. I know you like it, so it's made with crispy bones."
"Thank you, Mom."
Shen Qingli smiled sweetly. Her mother-in-law really remembered all her preferences.
Shen Qingli was helped to sit down by her mother-in-law, and suddenly remembered: "Oh, Mom, after you finish your meal, give my sister and Kexin a call and tell them that I brought back the skin care products they wrote to me a few days ago and they are in their room."
Meng Ning has asked for skin care products several times in the past two or three months. At first it was two sets, and then more and more.
She wrote to Shen Qingli to tell him that the company needed more and more people, and there were also people buying for her family and friends. Even so, she was still hesitant and didn't agree to too many, for fear that Shen Qingli would be overworked.
Shen Qingli gave them 40 yuan per set, and they asked Meng Xiao to remit the extra money back to them.
Meng Ning and Meng Kexin each received 52 yuan from acquaintances and 55 yuan from strangers. They earned a lot of pocket money from this during the post-New Year period.
"These two children are so ignorant. They bother you even though they know you are pregnant. Now I have to have a good talk with them." Old Master Meng frowned.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm not tired at all. I've already prepared everything. Sister and Kexin are helping me make money."
Shen Qingli said with a smile.
What she likes most is the feeling of not having to work and just sitting at home and having money come in.
So happy!
"Hey! How much money can you make from that bottle of facial oil? 80 yuan. If you need money, grandpa will give it to you."
The old man was about to take money out of his pocket as he spoke.
"Grandpa, it's not just one dollar or eighty cents. I sell a set of facial oil for fifty or sixty!"
Shen Qingli was afraid that the old man would really give her money, so she just said it directly.
"What? Facial oil? Fifty or sixty? Don't try to fool me. My monthly pension isn't enough to buy you a few bottles of facial oil?!"
The old man's eyes were wide open, and it was unclear whether he was surprised or shocked.
"So, Grandpa, I didn't lie to you, did I? I'm making money."
Shen Qingli was amused by the old man's somewhat depressed expression. Grandpa is so cute~
"So expensive? Are all you young people so rich nowadays?"
The old man seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly changed his words:
"No, Qingli, Grandpa didn't mean that you sold it too expensively. I meant...it was cheap in the past. Huh? That's not right!
Oh, I can’t tell!”
His face was dark red and he looked quite annoyed.
"Grandpa, I know what you mean. We don't force you to buy this. Whoever wants to buy it can buy it.
Besides, I used only good stuff, and I added a lot of medicine!"
Shen Qingli felt that if he told him what the ingredients were, the old man wouldn't understand, so he simply said that a lot of potions had been added.
When the potion was mentioned, the old man immediately understood:
“Added a lot of potions?
The price is acceptable, the potion is a good thing."
The grandfather and grandson were chatting when Aunt Zhang came over with pork rib soup after cooking.
"It's time to eat."
"It smells so good. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhang."
Shen Qingli smelled the stew as soon as he arrived.
It smells so good! It makes her gluttonous.
"It's not hard, Xiang, just eat more later. I stewed it all morning."
Aunt Zhang has a round face and a very friendly smile.
Ye Qiu and Uncle Lin washed their hands and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Shen Qingli's belly was so big that no one would let her serve the dishes even if she wanted to, so she just sat there and didn't move.
Meng Jianjun doesn't eat at home at noon. The second wife only comes to visit the old man occasionally and stays for a few days during the holidays. Usually, only these few people come to the Meng family for dinner.
After everyone was seated and the old man started eating first, everyone else picked up their chopsticks.
The old man specially served a bowl of pork rib soup. Everyone thought it was for him, but unexpectedly he put it in front of Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli was a little embarrassed: "Grandpa, why are you serving me soup? I haven't served you yet!"
"Hurry up and drink. We are family, so there is no need to be so particular."
The old man waved his hand casually. What was wrong with him serving a bowl of soup to his grandson's wife? Everyone looked at him in surprise!
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Shen Qingli felt warm in his heart.
Grandpa is really a good person. He has been very good to her since she entered the Meng family. That's why she was willing to take the risk of exposing her secret and take out the spiritual spring liquid to save Grandpa.
"After dinner, I'll walk with you outside the door to help you digest your food and get some fresh air. It's not fun to stay stuck in the house all the time."
Ye Qiu picked up a chicken leg for her and said.
"Okay. Mom, if you're free tomorrow, let's go shopping at the department store. I don't have much to do at home, and I stay at home every day at the base. I wanted to go shopping when I came back."
Shen Qingli wanted to relax and buy some maternal and child products for public use.
And if she didn't find something to do, she felt that she might be in the late stage of pregnancy. She had been feeling irritable and anxious recently, especially when Meng Xiao was not around.
"I'm fine, let's go tomorrow afternoon. You can sleep a little longer in the morning."
It was a rare opportunity for her daughter-in-law to speak up, so Ye Qiu naturally had no objections. She wasn't the wicked mother-in-law next door; she wished she could treat her daughter-in-law like her own daughter!
