Chapter 105

Because of the addition of Ding, the Li family had a very happy New Year. Mrs. Li, who had no good looks towards her daughter-in-law in the past, was also amiable this year, and she rarely praised Jiang for her hard work at the New Year's Eve dinner.

Brother Kang's three-month-old life has become more mellow and fatter, and Mrs. Li has become more and more rare. He has always been stingy, and he gave a whole penny in the New Year's red envelope.

Li Meier also followed suit, and rarely received a heavy red envelope from Mrs. Li.

During the Chinese New Year, it is natural to go to various houses to pay New Year's greetings, and many people go to Li's house to pay New Year's greetings. At this moment, the advantages of being a child are highlighted, and the hands of the red envelopes are weak!

Li Meier is a small money fanatic. During the Chinese New Year, the most important thing to do every day is to count the red envelopes. That is to count the red envelopes once in the morning, once at noon, and again at night, three times a day, with the same frequency as eating.

Jiang Shanqing really couldn't see Li Meier's money-losing behavior, and said contemptuously: "If you count the red envelopes any more, you'll be scratching your head."

"What do you know, this is the end of the year, and this is the only time when I will have some fortune, of course I have to count it out." Li Meier is confident, it is rare to have her own small treasury, but she is very concerned about it.

Hehe, I don't think the money will stay in your hands for long.Jiang Shanqing thought gloatingly in his heart, he could already see that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang were both eyeing the girl's new year's money.

As Jiang Shanqing expected, Mrs. Li first launched an offensive against Li Meier's lucky money.

Mrs. Li first bought some red bean buns, asked Li Meier to eat at her place, gave a sweet date, and then revealed her purpose. "Girl, I see that you have collected a lot of New Year's money recently. You are a child and it is not safe to hold so much money in your hands. Why don't you let me save it for you, and buy land for you as a dowry when you grow up."

Mrs. Li had a rare smile and said to Li Mei'er in a coaxing tone.

Li Mei'er is not a real brat, so naturally she wouldn't hand over the New Year's money with a few words from Mrs. Li. She gnawed on the warm red bean buns and pretended to be ignorant and replied: "Ah, I will give all the New Year's money to my mother." Keep it."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was so angry that she thought of a heartless girl's film, and as soon as she had something, she would give it to her mother first, and her own fruit snacks could be regarded as feeding dogs!

"Eat, eat, eat! I know how to eat. Seeing how fat you are, you should eat a little bit more." Angrily, Mrs. Li took away the red bean bun in front of Li Meier. She wanted to take it away from her The one she was holding, but Li Meier was such a chicken thief, she stuffed it into her mouth in two or three strokes, and spread her hands to show that she had finished eating.

Mrs. Li scolded again angrily, but Li Meier didn't stay with her to be scolded, she covered her ears and ran away.

But when she returned to the room, Mrs. Jiang was waiting for her there. She looked at Li Meier with a smile, spread her jaded hands and said, "It's the lucky money, bring it here."

Li Meier immediately made a bitter face, and she walked up to her mother and said coquettishly: "Mother, I promise not to spend money indiscriminately, just let me keep it myself."

Jiang was very determined, "It's not enough now, you are too young, when you are six years old, mother will let you manage the money yourself."

Li Meier struggled for a while, seeing that her mother would not let go, so she could only dawdle and take out the lucky red envelope.

Jiang took the red envelope, counted it carefully, and then looked up at Li Meier again, "Are there still three missing?"

Li Meier's small face was almost wrinkled into a bun, and she begged, "Mother, please save some for me."

"I'll only leave one for you, and there are more; bring two." Jiang Shi finally showed mercy and took a step back.

Li Meier thought it was better than none, so she could only compromise, and gave the remaining two to Jiang.

After collecting the New Year's money, Mrs. Jiang left contentedly.

Li Mei'er looked at the only red envelope left in her hand, and wanted to cry but had no tears.I really couldn't make it through, so I ran to the next door to cry with Jiang Shanqing.

"Brother Shanqing, why do adults go too far? We children don't have much money, and they still want to search. Don't children have human rights!" Li Meier was very angry at this moment, and she didn't hide what she said.

Jiang Shanqing was listening, thinking that you are a quick learner, I just mentioned human rights once, and you will remember it.

"In the eyes of adults, children have no human rights. When you can earn a lot of money for the family, you can have a little say in this family." The old god Jiang Shanqing taught Li Meier his experience on the ground.

Li Meier sighed for a long time, and asked very melancholy: "Will that mother really return my lucky money to me in the future? Mother said that after the age of six, I will let me manage the money myself."

Jiang Shanqing smiled, and replied slowly: "The biggest lie of adults is, 'I will save the lucky money for you, and I will return it to you when you grow up. How can I use your money.'

Adults who say these words, when you grow up, you ask them for New Year's money, and they will say, 'How much did I spend to raise you to such an age, what's the matter with your New Year's money? "

"Anyway, adults will always have their own opinions." Jiang Shanqing patted Li Meier's little head, "You're not upset, at worst I'll just give you my New Year's money."

It was rare for Jiang Shanqing to talk to her so thoughtfully, and Li Meier was not used to it, but she was still very touched.

Knowing that she might not be able to get her lucky money back, Li Meier also gave up. She sniffed and said to Jiang Shanqing, "Brother Shanqing, you are still welcome. Neither mother nor grandmother asked you for lucky money."

In fact, Mrs. Li asked him if he wanted to live, and her rhetoric was similar to Li Meier's, she just helped him save it for him to marry a wife later.

Jiang Shanqing is such a shrewd person, he directly gave the red envelopes he had prepared to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li gave him several snacks, but when she saw the big money in the red envelopes, she probably killed Jiang Shanqing's heart have it all.

Li Meier was really depressed for a few days because of the red envelope incident, but seeing that the [-]th day of the first lunar month is coming, Shangyuan Festival is a good festival. Anyway, Li Meier likes your festival very much, and you can go out to play in a fair manner again. Shangyuan Lantern Festival, That's a must-have festival every year.

"Mother, let's go out to watch the Lantern Festival together on the Lantern Festival." Li Meier said to Jiang Shi excitedly.

"Not this year, Brother Kang is too young, I have to watch him at home, wait until next year, let's go together next year." Jiang smiled to comfort her daughter.

"Then let dad accompany us, and uncle, uncle and aunt just got married this year, so they definitely want to go to the Lantern Festival together." Li Meier said coquettishly, not wanting to miss the chance to go out to play.

In the end, Mrs. Jiang couldn't stand her daughter's torture, so she decided to ask someone to ask her younger brother.
