Chapter 158 Birthday
The next day, when Jiang Shanqing and Dong Qi came back from the ethnology school, their heads were raised high, and Dong Qi announced the good news as soon as they entered the door.

"Grandmother, Shanqing won the first place in the year-end assessment, and he was awarded five taels of silver by ethnology!"

When Mrs. Li heard the five taels of silver, her old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and she touched Jiang Shanqing's head with her big hand and praised: "If you have the ability, you will know how to make money for the family at a young age, work harder, and try to get the first place in the exam next year. "

After finishing speaking, he spread his hands and asked, "Where's the silver? Bring it to your grandmother for safekeeping, and help you buy land and marry a wife in the future."

Jiang Shanqing wanted to quickly break free from Mrs. Li's "gentle" touch, so she quickly took out the money and handed it to her.

Mrs. Li got the money, and the smile on her face became even brighter. She wanted to touch Jiang Shanqing for a while, but the boy had already run away.

As soon as Mrs. Li was happy, she asked Mrs. Lin to go to Liu Ji to buy a few pork knuckles, and add food to the children at noon.

During lunch, Li Meier happily gnawed on the sauced elbow, and whispered to Jiang Shanqing with some gossip: "You won the first place, so how did Li Yu treat you?"

"What can he do to me, but brother Qi's face turns green from anger." Jiang Shanqing said calmly.

Li Meier immediately looked at Dong Qi again, wondering what was going on.

"I just mocked him severely. Li Yu's eyes are higher than the top, and he always feels that he is a child prodigy. Now he knows that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. It's a pity that you didn't see my sister. He was so angry that his face turned green. .” Dong Qi grinned, looking very proud.

Li Meier couldn't help laughing as she imagined Li Yu's green face, but she suddenly found out that Brother Qi was becoming more and more like Brother Shanqing's dog leg, and Brother Qi didn't seem to notice it, so he did it voluntarily. Follow some dog legs to do.

Brother Shanqing is really too insidious, should she remind Brother Qi?Li Meier's eyes wandered between the two brothers.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shanqing frowned slightly, and put a piece of pig's trotter into her bowl, "Eat vegetables, why are there so many words, if you don't eat pig's trotters, brother Qi will finish it all."

Li Meier quickly grabbed the pig's trotters and started to fight, thinking, Brother Qi is so insidious, he actually snatched her pig's trotters to eat while she was thinking about something, forget it, don't remind him, with his brain, he can do it if he wants to. Can't beat that treacherous old ghost.

After the year-end assessment of ethnology was over, the annual vacation began, and the days were lively and lively, and soon it was Li Meier's birthday, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a rare good day.

Because Zhou Hanyu was going to give birth next month and her body was too bulky, she asked Mrs. Xu to bring a birthday present for Li Meier, along with Jiang Yanzhi's birthday gift from the state government. What Zhou Hanyu sent was a pearl The little pearl hairpin that Li Meier can bring right now, and Jiang Yanzhi gave another Mohale, but this time Mohale is much more exquisite than the one given last year. It is decorated with pearls and gemstones. Great value.

Li Meier was so happy that she wanted to go back to her grandmother's house to see her aunt.

"Mother, the younger siblings are due to give birth next month. Is the mother-in-law ready? Can the elder brother come back before the younger siblings give birth?" Jiang asked concerned about her mother's family.

"Wen Po has been invited a long time ago, and I will receive her home after the Chinese New Year. Your elder brother wrote in a letter saying that he will definitely be able to come back before the year. He will not leave this time. When the weather is warmer, he will come Ready to go to the capital." Xu replied one by one with a smile.

Jiang Yan will participate in Chunwei in the next year. Because they are far away from the capital, it will take several months just to travel, and they have to find a suitable residence in the capital and rest for a period of time, so one year in advance Start, the time will not be too tight.

"Will the younger brother and sister go to the capital with the older brother?" Jiang asked with some confusion, hoping that someone could take care of the younger brother on the way, but the younger brother and sister just gave birth to a child, and the child is so small, so she asked her to take the child with her. It's unrealistic for my younger brother to go to the capital together.

"I've thought about this too." Xu's face was also a little distressed, "I wanted to let Hanyu leave the child and go to the capital with Shunzi. After all, the journey is thousands of miles away, and there is no caring person. I'm really worried about taking care of Shunzi, but I'm worried that the child is so young, and I'm worried that Shunzi won't let it go." Xu sighed after finishing speaking.

"What do you mean younger brother and younger sister?" Jiang felt that it depended on Zhou Hanju's own meaning, so she asked again.

"I haven't asked her yet. I'm thinking of waiting for Shunzi to come back. The couple will discuss it themselves, but I can't make up my mind after looking at Han's appearance." Xu sighed again and said.

"Then let the husband and wife discuss it themselves. Fortunately, there is still more time now, so don't worry too much, mother." Jiang turned to comfort her mother.

"Mother, what does the capital look like?" Li Mei'er had a yearning look on her face when she heard that her uncle was going to the capital to take the exam. In her last life, she really wanted to visit the capital, but her father did not succeed in studying , After taking the exam for many years, she didn't even pass the exam. She hasn't even been to the state capital, and the farthest she's ever been to is the next town, let alone the capital.

"Mother hasn't been there either. It's a very prosperous place anyway. Isn't your aunt Zhen just coming back from the capital? You can ask her in the future." Jiang is also just a country girl who grew up in the Dalian prefecture. I haven't been there before, so I don't know what the capital is like.

Li Meier's eyes lit up, yes, she forgot that her aunt came back from the palace, she must be very familiar with the capital, and she will go to her aunt's class after the new year, so she must ask her carefully.

As a human being, Li Meier II is naturally better at interpersonal communication than ordinary children. She was born under the festival, so she made a small self-made post for her friends. At noon, a group of children came to the He family, all of them were Li Meier. called.

This group of little fellows even imitated the grown-ups and brought Li Meier birthday presents. Some gave leftover fruits at home, some gave flowers picked by the roadside, and some gave beautiful pebbles...

Li Ang is a big dog, and her mother gave him a lot of pocket money on weekdays, and she generously gave Li Meier a silver bracelet.

Li Meier didn't expect to receive such an expensive gift, so she almost didn't dare to accept it. She was afraid that Li Ang's mother would come to settle accounts with her, or Li Ang said that he had informed his mother, so she accepted it with confidence. On Li Ang's birthday, he gave a similar gift in return.

Brothers Dong Qi and Dong Yong also gave very good gifts. Dong Qi didn’t have as much pocket money as Li Ang, but he saved some. He specially bought a plum blossom and silk flower for Li Meier, while Dong Yong gave his beloved nine Serial.

Everyone sent gifts, but Jiang Shanqing didn't express anything for a long time.
