Hearing Yang Li's words, Qi Wen looked at Du Feng hesitantly, "Second brother, is mahjong easy to learn?"
"A smart person can learn it in a few minutes, and even a dumb one won't take more than twenty minutes."
"Okay, let's try it today. My brother doesn't know how to do it either. Let's call him over and then the three of us can learn together."
Qi Wen thought that since he was free anyway, he might as well give it a try, maybe it could really help kill the time.
Du Feng nodded and said, "No problem. After we finish cleaning the yard, let Xiao Sen call your brother over."
Qi Wen thought about it for a moment, then said to Du Sen, "You go now. It's just right for you to ask him to come over and help you shovel the snow. More people means faster work. Also, don't forget to ask him to bring money and food. He needs to eat here at noon."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xu and others fell silent.
You let your own brother come to work and don’t even provide him with a meal?
No matter how much you favor your husband's family, you can't do this, right?
Besides, food can be bought in the market now. Although the price is a little higher, it is nothing to the Du family. If they ignore this meal, what will outsiders think of the Du family after the news gets out?
Thinking of this, Du Ming hurriedly reminded, "Xiao Sen, tell your brother-in-law to only bring money and not food. Meals are provided at home."
Du Sen responded and then walked out quickly. No matter how Qi Wen shouted, he pretended not to hear.
He knew exactly what Qi Wen was going to say. It was just asking him to do as she said and tell her brother to bring some food.
This is a joke. It’s the first time I asked my brother-in-law to come to work at home, so how can I not provide food?
Du Sen felt that he could not afford to lose face like this.
Seeing that he ignored him, Qi Wen stomped his foot on the ground angrily, then turned around and said, "Dad, my brother is lazy and doesn't know how much work he can do. Giving him food is too cheap for him."
Du Ming's heart trembled at her stomping. "Qi Wen, please talk nicely and don't get so excited. Besides, he's your brother. Even if he's just visiting our house, we have to provide him with a meal. This is the most basic courtesy."
"It's just a meal, no need to get so excited." Yang Li glanced at the clock in the main room and continued, "It's getting late. We have to go to work. Girl, just stay indoors and don't run around. Do you understand?"
At this point, Qi Wen didn't say much and could only respond, "I understand. The snow on the road is thick and slippery, so you all need to be careful."
"I understand." Everyone responded and then walked towards their respective units.
As he walked along the street, thinking of Du Ming and his wife's behavior just now, Li Xu couldn't help but smack his lips. "Given Qi Wen's temper, I estimate that Uncle Du and Aunt Yang will lose at least ten pounds by the time she gives birth to the child."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm worried."
Hearing this, Du Hong burst into laughter. "Don't tell me, this is really possible. You don't even know. If my second brother hadn't insisted on sending Qi Wen to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, she would have thought it was a stomachache. She didn't take it seriously at all, and even insisted on dragging Xiao Sen to stand in the snow."
Li Xu showed a curious expression and urged, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"Qi Wen has a bad habit of drinking a glass of cold water after practicing martial arts, no matter how cold the weather is. Yesterday, when she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, she had just drunk a glass of cold water a few minutes ago, so she thought it was a stomach upset and didn't take it seriously.
When she regained her strength in the afternoon, she wanted to take Xiao Sen to stand in the snow. Xiao Sen didn't want to get wet, so Qi Wen hit him twice. Because of the rough movements, her stomach felt uncomfortable, so she covered her stomach with her hands. This scene happened to be seen by my second brother. After asking about it, my second brother insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check-up. The check-up found that she was pregnant.
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
According to Qi Wen's previous statement, she has been pregnant for at least two months.
During that period, she practiced martial arts and drank cold water every day, and she did things in a hurry, but the child had no problems. We can only say that this child is really lucky.
Don't compare her with pregnant women in the countryside. Don't think that since they can do farm work as usual during pregnancy, it's normal for her to do so.
But in fact it is not normal at all.
To put it bluntly, even the men in the countryside don't necessarily exercise as much as she does.
As someone who has practiced martial arts and taken medicinal baths since childhood, her physical strength is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even so, she can still train until exhaustion every day. You can imagine how much exercise it is.
Not only does she have to stand still every day, she also has to practice martial arts moves.
Xingyiquan is a powerful and aggressive boxing style with wide movements and powerful actions, and the fetus is unstable during the first three months of pregnancy.
To be honest, even if the baby was lost, Li Xu would still think it was normal...
Thinking of this, Li Xu asked in a low voice, "Does your family worship the Kitchen God?"
"Ji, what's wrong?"
"It just so happens that today is the Little New Year. Tonight, let Uncle Du and the others worship the Kitchen God. If it's not too much trouble, they can also worship our ancestors as well to thank them for blessing the descendants of the Du family."
Du Hong looked at him in confusion, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Seeing that she didn't understand, Li Xu had to explain it again.
After listening to it, Du Hong felt that what Li Xu said made sense. Qi Wen was fine despite all the trouble he had gone through, so he should thank the Kitchen God and his ancestors. So he said in a firm tone, "Just do as you say. I'll tell them when I get home tonight."
Li Xu nodded, then rolled his eyes and asked, "Xiaohong, are you cold?"
"It's not that cold, what's wrong?"
Li Xu chuckled and stretched out his right hand to hold her left hand. "I'm a little cold, warm me up."
Du Hong didn't resist, but just spat softly, "How shameless."
"We are engaged, so it's okay for me to say you are my wife. Can you be called shameless for holding your wife's hand?" Li Xu retorted slightly, and then talked about other topics.
In this way, the two of them walked to the office, talking and laughing, holding hands all the way.
Although the weather was bad and it looked like it would snow at any time, it didn't snow until I got off work.
When he returned home, he found that the snow in the yard had been shoveled almost completely, and the house had been cleaned. Li Xu couldn't help but praise him, "Third brother, you shoveled the snow in the yard, didn't you? You did a good job. You finally know how to help with housework."
He didn't dare to say who cleaned the house, but he could guarantee that it was definitely Li Chen who did it in the yard.
Although I don't know if he did it willingly or not.
But since you have done it, you have to praise him a few words to make him happy.
Hearing this, Li Chen smiled like a bulldog and gave a thumbs up, "Second brother, you have a good eye. You can see it at a glance."
Li Xu chuckled. The yard was shoveled all over, like it was chewed by a dog, full of potholes. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can do the job like this.
