Chapter 103
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li raised her face in displeasure, "Stinky girl, when did I forget you, I don't think of you every time I have a good snack. Chestnuts are specially bought for you."

Li Mei'er looked at Mrs. Li suspiciously, thinking that her grandmother's generosity was really a discovery of conscience.She walked over to the table and saw that they were really fried chestnuts, so she took one and peeled it.

The fried chestnuts are just right, soft, glutinous and sweet. They should be Liu Ji’s chestnuts. His family usually sells cooked food, and also stir-fries chestnuts in winter. The sugar-fried chestnuts in his house are more sugar than those in other houses, but the price is also twice as expensive. , Grandma was willing to buy it for her to eat. I guess she really felt that she was treated badly these days.

"Aren't the chestnuts sweet?" Mrs. Li squinted at Li Mei'er eating chestnuts, thinking of the girl, she didn't know how to peel one for her old man.

"Sweet, it's sweet, grandma, do you want to eat it?" Li Mei'er opened her big eyes, pretending to be ignorant, pretending not to understand Mrs. Li's eyes.

"Eat less sweets, be careful not to break your teeth!" Mrs. Li said bitterly, a dead girl has no filial piety.

"Grandma, don't you want to eat?" Li Meier asked knowingly.

"I don't eat, my old man's teeth are bad." Mrs. Li said pretendingly.

"Then I'll take it back and give it to my mother, she said that her mouth has no taste these two days." Li Meier picked up a plate of chestnuts and walked out the door.

"Damn girl, come back to me and put down the old lady's chestnuts!" Old lady Li was so angry that she almost jumped up from her chair to arrest him.

Li Meier's legs and feet were faster, she ran out of the room with her short legs and disappeared in a flash.

Mrs. Lin couldn't hold back her laughter, but she didn't dare to laugh because of Mrs. Li's face.

"Damn girl, I'll take her surname when I buy fruit for her again!" Mrs. Li cursed out of breath, then turned and went back to her room and said to Mrs. Lin: "Bring me the other half bag of chestnuts. I put half a pack in, if this girl took all of it, I'd be so heartbroken!"

Mrs. Li was so angry that she ate half a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, and she didn't even eat dinner that night. It also made Li Yan worried, thinking that her mother was getting old and had a bad stomach, so she almost asked the doctor to come over .

After Mrs. Li arranged for the annual ceremonies of each family, the first month is approaching. At this moment, the ethnology is on holiday. Li Yan spends most of his time at home, teasing his son, and the rest of the time. It's reading, and the year after next will be the year of Qiu Wei, and he has decided to give it a try this time.

Master Liu, who taught Jiang Shanqing Kungfu, also returned to the county because of the New Year's holiday, and he will not come back to teach Jiang Shan until the New Year is over.But even if the master is not around, Jiang Shanqing still gets up early to exercise every day, no matter how cold the weather is, he does not stop, it can be said that he has great perseverance.

Dong Qi is on vacation because of ethnology, and recently he often comes to Li's house to play with Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing. When he comes, Dong Yong will naturally follow him. He has always been his brother's little follower.

Coupled with the addition of Li Yuan who often came to play with Li Meier next door, the Li family had more children. Although it was noisy, it was also lively.

"Brother Aqi, if you come here every day, won't aunt talk about you?" Li Meier sat on the swing and asked Dong Qi who was pushing her behind.

"My mother is all focused on my younger sister now. Sometimes she doesn't know when I go out for a day. Besides, it's the Chinese New Year. Father and mother are very busy, so there is no time to watch me." Dong Qi said indifferently .

"Sister Xiaoxiao is in good health?" Li Meier asked again when she thought of Dong Wan's illness a while ago.

"It's almost okay, but there are many rashes on my body, which have almost disappeared now. My mother is always worried that her girl's family will leave scars. It's not a big deal. My father said that I had one when I was young. Many Children had it when they were young." Dong Qi didn't worry much about his sister, so he replied indifferently.

"I didn't have any when I was young. My mother said that I was very white when I was born." Li Meier said very proudly.

"That's why I said, Sister Mei'er, you are different from other people. If only you were my own sister." Dong Qi said in a very doggy manner.

Li Meier was very flattered by this flattery, and very generously gave Dong Qi a nougat.

Over there, Dong Yong saw the nougat in Li Meier's hand with sharp eyes, and immediately pulled Li Yuan over and said eagerly, "Sister Meier, I also want to eat nougat."

Li Meier powder generously gave Dong Yong and Li Yuan one each, "Eat it, I have some more here after eating."

Jiang Shanqing bought this nougat with his own money. He didn't eat it himself, so he gave it to Li Meier.

Li Yuan put the candy into her mouth carefully, sipped it bit by bit, and said enviously while eating: "Mei'er, your family treats you so well, and even bought you milk candy. My family has Good sweets and snacks are reserved for my brother, and my grandma is reluctant to give me good food."

Li Meier plays with Li Yuan the most on weekdays. Naturally, she knows that her grandmother is patriarchal. Basically, she only has her grandson in her eyes, and she doesn't treat her granddaughter as a human being at all. Although patriarchy is common nowadays, her grandmother is also patriarchal. The girl is pretty, but compared to the second grandmother next door, her grandmother is really very conscientious.

"Didn't your brother stop studying at the ethnology school? I heard that he went to be an apprentice in the grain shop?" Dong Qi asked after listening to Li Yuan's words, he suddenly thought of his brother Li Jing.

Li Yuan nodded and replied: "My brother is unwilling to go to study in ethnology any more. My mother will not beat him no matter how hard she tries. In the end, my mother has no choice but to let him go to my uncle's shop as a pawnbroker." apprentice."

Li Jing has become the laughing stock of ethnology since the last dog bite incident. Boys of his age are the most face-saving, how can they stand the ridicule of their classmates, and those brothers who played well in the past are also All alienated him, so he simply stopped studying.

"It's okay not to study, but with his qualifications, it's a waste of money to continue studying. It's better to go out and earn money earlier." Dong Qi didn't like Li Jing, so he couldn't help but sneer at this moment.

Li Yuan glanced at Dong Qi and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak for her brother, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"Sister Yuan, let me push you on the swing," Dong Yong immediately comforted his little friend when he saw that his little friend was in a low mood.

Li Yuan is a child, her emotions come and go quickly, she put down the little bamboo horse in her hand, and went to play on the swing with Dong Yong.

Dong Qi and Li Meier walked to the side of Jiang Shanqing who was practicing calligraphy on the sand. Dong Qi looked at Jiang Shanqing's writing on the sand table and said speechlessly: "Shanqing, don't practice calligraphy in such a cold day. Be careful." Chilblains."
