Chapter 145
The relatives and friends who came to the banquet all praised the good looks of the Li family's children, and Mrs. Li's eyes almost disappeared from laughing. She thought to herself, in the future, if you want to find a wife for your grandson, you must also find a good-looking one. Such great-grandchildren must look good.

Mrs. Xu, who came here specially to attend her grandson's birthday party, looked at her grandson and granddaughter with pride, and said to her daughter, "Brother Kang will be one year old in a blink of an eye, and you and your son-in-law will work hard to give me a grandson. "

Mrs. Li liked to hear these words, and immediately echoed from the side: "Yes, our Li family is weak, please work harder, Meier, if you can give birth to more children, then they will be a great contribution to my Li family. "

Mrs. Jiang's cheeks were flushed by the words of the two old ladies, and even Li Yan, who had always been prudent, coughed in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "Mother, mother-in-law, the auspicious time has come, Brother Kang should catch up."

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li stopped talking, and turned their attention to grasping Zhou.

The Li family is just a little rich, Brother Kang is the eldest grandson of the family, and Mrs. Li treats him as her sweetheart, so the things for Zhou Li are quite complete.

There is everything on a square table. It can be said that what other people have to catch the Zhou ceremony is on the table, and what others do not have is also on this table.Seals, scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, copper coins, account books, food, toys, and drinking utensils are all available.There is even a violin, a chess piece, and even a box of paints for painting.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu was very satisfied, and said to Mrs. Li: "The wife in-law has really prepared everything."

Mrs. Li laughed and said: "It was all prepared by Meier's mother, she has always been a meticulous person." At this moment, her relationship with her daughter-in-law is in the honeymoon period, and she doesn't care about complimenting her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Jiang smiled sheepishly, put her son on the table in her arms, and told him softly to grab things.

Brother Kang could already understand what the adults said now, and excitedly crawled towards the objects on the table, brushed his paws, grabbed a seal and a violin, and then did not let go.

Mrs. Li was overjoyed immediately, she smiled happily, and said, "To be rich and powerful is the fate of being an official."

In fact, catching Zhou's things and catching everything is just for auspiciousness, not to mention that Kang Ge'er is really good at catching, and there are rave reviews for a while.Needless to say, Li Yan and Jiang Shi are also very happy.

Mrs. Jiang held her son in her arms, straightened her little clothes, and only smiled gratifiedly, "I just hope that his life will be safe and happy."

Mrs. Xu smiled and rolled her eyes, "Brother Kang is a blessed one at first glance, you will definitely get your wish."

Li Meier watched her younger brother's catching week, and she was still a little envious. Not long after she was born, her grandfather passed away. Because of the filial piety at home, she didn't do the full moon and one year old. Of course, she didn't catch this week. Although she knew that this was just an auspicious ceremony, she still felt a little regretful in her heart.

"I haven't caught Zhou either." Jiang Shanqing suddenly whispered in Li Meier's ear.

Li Meier looked at her in surprise, but she didn't expect her to see through her feelings.

"We don't like this there, that is, you ancients are too superstitious, so you don't have to be too sorry." Jiang Shanqing said lightly, but the words were obviously comforting.

Li Meier suddenly felt better, looked at Jiang Shanqing and smiled, "I know, thank you." The corners of Jiang Shanqing's lips twitched slightly, and he didn't speak any more.

After the catch-up week, the banquet started, and all the guests ate and talked and laughed. After noon, all the people dispersed and went home.

Mrs. Jiang personally sent Mrs. Zhengu out, and when she reached the door, Mrs. Zhen said, "Go home, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to take care of at home."

Jiang Shi was not hypocritical, and nodded, "Then I will take Mei Meier to talk to you in a few days."

After Mrs. Jiang sent off all the guests, Mrs. Jiang took her maid to clean up the leftover seats, even the chicken bones and fish bones gathered together. If a frugal family can feed dogs and cats, it will never be wasted. Naturally, Li Meier is also with her mother. Help around.

After tidying up everything, Mrs. Li took Li Mei'er to Mrs. Li's place.

Mrs. Li is getting old after all, she is not in good spirits, she also looks tired at the moment, when she saw Mrs. Jiang coming, she asked, "Have all the guests been sent away?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded as an answer, and said to Mrs. Li: "Mom has been tired all day, let's rest earlier."

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, just take a plate of today's gifts."

Mrs. Lin at the side immediately understood, and went inside to take out all the gifts from relatives and friends.

The Li family is a small family, and most of the gifts from the clan members are ordinary, such as three-foot cotton cloth or eggs and fruits produced by the family. For example, the patriarch's wife is a famous family in the race, and the gifts are particularly high-grade. .The patriarch's wife sent two bolts of bright silk and satin.

"What did Mrs. Zhen give?" Mrs. Li thought that Mrs. Zhen came back from the palace, and the gift must be unusual, so she asked deliberately.Mrs. Lin hurriedly picked out a beautiful box from a pile of gifts. The box was not big, and she could tell at a glance that it contained something like jewelry.

Mrs. Li quickly took it over, opened the box and looked, her small eyes lit up immediately, and then her mouth grinned to the base of her ears.

Li Meier was also very curious, she went over to have a look, and it turned out to be a small golden lock.

Mrs. Li picked up the golden lock and weighed it in her hand, her smile widened immediately, and she said with great satisfaction: "There are more than one or two golden locks, the ones who come back from this palace are different, they are so generous."

"This gold lock is exquisitely crafted, and it costs a lot of money." Jiang looked at it from the side, and said in admiration. She didn't expect Mrs. Zhengu to give such an expensive gift, and she felt a little sorry, after all. When she went to Mrs. Zhen's place, most of the food she took was worthless food.

Mrs. Li looked at it for a while, then carefully put the golden lock back into the box, handed it to Mrs. Lin, and said: "You lock things in my old camphor box, and put it at the bottom."

When Li Meier heard this, she was dissatisfied and said, "Grandmother, Mrs. Renzhen gave this to Brother Kang, how could you put it away by yourself?"

Mrs. Li glared at Li Meier and scolded: "I am saving for my eldest grandson. Those things of mine will not be given to him in the future. I am already old and old. What do I need so much money for? It’s not for the children and grandchildren.”

Jiang also gave Li Meier a sneaky look and told her to shut up. Li Meier had no choice but to keep silent, but she was still a little unconvinced. Grandma wanted to take all good things into her house, but she was a master who could only get in and out. , a cheapskate one.
