Chapter 159 Plum Blossom Hairpin

Li Meier was a little angry in her heart, so she deliberately ignored Jiang Shanqing, and only greeted other friends.

Li Yan looked at his daughter's decent appearance from the side, smiled from ear to ear, and quietly said to his wife: "My family has quite a lot of girlfriends."

Seeing her daughter imitating herself to greet guests, Jiang couldn't help laughing, "They are all brothers and sisters who usually play together, but I didn't expect her to have a lot of communication."

After eating Li Meier's birthday noodles at Li's house, the children went out to play together.

Li Meier returned home in the evening, and Jiang saw that grass clippings were still hanging on her skirt, and asked, "Where did you go to play?"

Li Meier replied, "It's playing hide-and-seek in the alley outside."

Mrs. Jiang ordered Baozi to come in with water, wash Li Meier's face and change her clothes, and muttered, "You can go out and go wild. If you don't stop for a moment, you can't always go out and run wild in two years, making people laugh at you."

Li Meier raised her head and said indifferently: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be a lady when I grow up."

"You are still a lady, don't be a wild girl and I will be Amitabha." Jiang said while rubbing the ointment on Li Meier.

"Mom, you have too little confidence in your daughter, it's not good." Li Meier was depressed.

Jiang couldn't help scolding her, "There's never been a time when an adult said something and you knew to shut up."

Li Meier replied in her stomach: It's not dumb.

Jiang narrowed her eyes, "What bad things are you saying about me?"

Li Meier died unjustly, "Mother just told me to shut up, but now she thinks I don't talk. Why is it so difficult to be a filial daughter~" Fake crying twice.

Jiang Shi was overjoyed, changed her clothes and slapped her butt, "Go and ask your brother Shanqing to come over for dinner."

Li Meier responded and ran out happily.

Jiang Shanqing didn't bother to play with little kids a long time ago. When she entertained her little friends today, he showed his face at the beginning, and went back to his room after eating birthday noodles. My son is reading a book in his own room.

"Brother Shanqing, mother wants you to go over to eat." Li Meier called directly at the door.

"Why can't you learn how to knock on the door?" Jiang Shanqing put down the book and looked at her with a frown.

"You haven't done anything shameful, are you still afraid that I'll break in suddenly?" Li Mei'er always has a lot of fallacies.Jiang Shanqing didn't bother arguing with her and got up to go out.

"Brother Shanqing, where's my birthday present?" Li Meier stood in front of Jiang Shanqing and asked with puffy cheeks and hands, with a bit of resentment in her tone.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shanqing couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed her bun head, "I'll give it to you at night."

Li Meier was happy in her heart, but she also became more and more curious, wondering what kind of birthday gift Jiang Shanqing had prepared for her.

Because she was thinking about her birthday present, Li Meier ate dinner absent-mindedly.After finishing the meal, she took Jiang Shanqing back to the room, waiting expectantly for him to take out his birthday present.

Jiang Shanqing was a little speechless seeing her anxious appearance, turned around and took out a thing wrapped in white cotton cloth from the cabinet, and handed it to Li Meier.

Li Meier quickly took it, opened it, and saw a plum blossom wooden hairpin lying on the white cotton cloth. The hairpin was carved from some kind of wood, and it was polished very smooth. Although the dots of plum blossoms on the head of the hairpin were not lifelike, they were still very beautiful. Exquisite, it can be seen that the person who carved it took a lot of thought.

Although this hairpin looks ordinary, for some reason, Li Meier likes it very much, even more than those expensive gold hairpins and jade hairpins.

Seeing her happy appearance, Jiang Shanqing turned up the corner of her mouth slightly, coughed lightly, and then said: "It's my first time making this, maybe I didn't do it very well, you just use it first, and I will be proficient in the future , and send you better ones."

When Li Meier heard that the hairpin was made by Jiang Shanqing himself, her eyes widened and she asked in a joyous and complicated tone: "Brother Shanqing, did you really carve this hairpin yourself?" When did he carve it? Why don't know at all.

Jiang Shanqing felt a little embarrassed, coughed again to cover up his embarrassment, and then said with wandering eyes: "It was just done casually, and it didn't take much effort."

Li Mei'er didn't believe Jiang Shanqing's words. Although the wooden hairpin looked ordinary, it took a lot of effort to carve all the small plum blossoms.

"Thank you, I like it very much. This is the best birthday present I have received this year." Li Meier's smile became brighter, her little hand tightly grasped the hairpin, and she was very happy in her heart. Gifts don't care how much they are. It is precious, but cares how much thought the person who gave the gift put into it.

Jiang Shanqing was even more embarrassed by Li Meier's words. He forced his expressionless face and started to chase people away, "You have received the gift too, go back quickly, I still have to read."

Li Meier was very speechless, and couldn't help complaining: "It's almost Chinese New Year, why can't you rest for a few days, it's okay to miss a few days of reading books, right?"

"What do you know? Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. As long as you slack off for a day, what should you do if you think about rest every day?" Jiang Shanqing immediately straightened his face and said very seriously.

Li Meier couldn't help scolding a nerd, and reluctantly left.I thought to myself, this guy must have been an old man before, otherwise why wouldn't he be a little cute like a young man? Look at brother Qi, how could he just take a chance and take a rest, old antique is indeed old antique.

Jiang Shanqing didn't know that Li Meier was slandering him in her heart. After confirming that she had left, she took out several unfinished wooden hairpins from the cabinet. He decided to find an opportunity to destroy all these waste products tomorrow, but he couldn't let the stinky girl find out, otherwise he would definitely laugh at him in his heart.

After Li Mei'er's birthday, the Chinese New Year is coming. Before the Chinese New Year, both Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Youzhi rushed home.The two also came together to give the Li family a new year gift.

Li Meier was very happy to see the two uncles, and after following the two at the door, she hung on Jiang Yanzhi and couldn't get off.

Jiang Youzhi looked a bit appreciative, and said sourly from the side: "Mei Meier really likes the second brother more, little uncle is so sad."

Li Meier knew that his uncle was not really jealous, but just said some weird words to tease her, so she just smiled and said: "Don't be sad, little uncle, when you find a wife, someone will naturally like you."

"How old are you, and you know what a daughter-in-law is." Jiang Youzhi was speechless when Li Meier said it. He was only 14 years old, and he was still too early to get married.

"Of course I know that my aunt is my uncle's daughter-in-law. Since my uncle has a daughter-in-law, he smiles a lot more than before." Li Meier said that she knew everything.
