Chapter 162 Father and Son
Li Yan's talent in reading is only average, but his diligence lies in his diligence. In addition to teaching ethnology to schoolchildren, he also studies at home, and he never slacks off for a day.

When Jiang Yanzhi read Li Yan's articles, he found them to be well-regulated. He could see that his knowledge was very solid, but he lacked some literary talents. He would inevitably suffer from some examiners who liked colorful articles.

"Brother-in-law can give it a try this time, but it's between two choices." Jiang Yanzhi said in a rather tactful way, but in fact, he felt that Li Yan had little hope of winning this time.

Li Yan knew about his own family affairs, so he just smiled helplessly: "Speaking of which, don't comfort me, I know there is little hope, I just want to explore the way first, and feel the atmosphere of Qiu Wei, so that next time I end up, I will be happy." Thank you for grasping."

Jiang Yanzhi smiled and comforted, "Brother-in-law don't have to be so discouraged. For scientific examinations, read the article and see some luck. Maybe the chief examiner of this department, Qiu Wei, likes your article. Brother-in-law relax and dare to say something." Just try it!"

"Then let me borrow your words." Li Yan laughed a little more confidently after being told by Jiang Yanzhi.

When Jiang Shanqing came back, Jiang Yanzhi hadn't left yet, and the father and son finally met.

Jiang Shanqing was invited to Li Ang's home today.He didn't want to go at first, he just had a fight with Li Ang, and he didn't have a deep friendship, but this is the third time Li Ang invited him, and he refused the first two times, if he refuses again, it will be unavoidable It's too disrespectful to Li Xin's family. After all, Li Xin and Li's family are clan brothers. Jiang Shanqing has to go once just to see Li's old lady and uncle's face.How did he know such a coincidence that the adoptive father gave his family a new year gift today.

"I've grown taller and stronger. It seems that the money to hire a master is not in vain." Jiang Yanzhi patted Jiang Shanqing's shoulder with satisfaction, and his tone was very gratifying.

Jiang Shanqing may not have seen Jiang Yanzhi for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart. After seeing him, he first asked with concern, "How is foster father?"

"Okay! I'm fine." Jiang Yanzhi nodded back, and then asked him again, "I heard that you have excellent grades in ethnology, and you still got first-class in this year's year-end assessment?"

Jiang Shanqing nodded, but still replied very modestly: "It's just a small achievement, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Yanzhi was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded his head and said in praise: "You are young, and you understand the principle of being full of losses and modest benefits. It is very rare, but if you have achieved results, you should be rewarded. I am going to the state capital this time. , I got an inkstone from Xu Daru of Bailu Academy, and I will give it to you to urge you to study better in the future."

"Thank you foster father for the inkstone." Jiang Shanqing gratefully accepted it.

Li Meier, who had been watching the two of them talking, almost lost her sour teeth, and couldn't help but complained: "Uncle, Brother Shanqing, why are you two talking so sourly? It's hard to hear. I'm talking to Daddy It's never been like that."

Jiang Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, perhaps because Jiang Shanqing was too mature, and he would treat him as an adult unconsciously.

Jiang Shanqing was also a little embarrassed, even after wearing it for so long, he was still not used to pretending to be a child, and when he was talking to his adoptive father, he unconsciously became like that just now.

"That's right, don't put too much pressure on Shanqing. How old is he? When you were your age, you just went to the school to get enlightened." Jiang Shi also echoed from the side, and then called Jiang Shanqing in front of him, and made sense of him The skirt of the shirt said again: "Shanqing is tired, wash your face and go back to the room to have a rest, after a while aunt will cook for you supper."

"It's getting late, so Youzhi and I will go back first. Parents and Hanyu are still waiting for us at home." Jiang Yanzhi stayed so late to see Jiang Shanqing, and now that people have seen him, it is Time to say goodbye.

"I'll see you off." Jiang stood up and said.

Jiang Yanzhi waved his hand, "My sister should rest earlier, you are all from my own family, so you don't have to be so polite." After speaking, he took Jiang Youzhi, who was still in a coma due to drunkenness, and left.

"Mother, brother Shanqing and I are going to see off uncle." Li Meier said and ran out with Jiang Shanqing.

"Wait, put on the cloak before leaving, it's cold outside!" Jiang took the cloak and shouted anxiously behind them, but they were no longer seen.

Jiang Yanzhi put Jiang Youzhi into the bullock cart at the door, and then he turned his head and said to Li Meier and the two of them, "Go back quickly, it's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold."

Li Meier looked at Jiang Yanzhi reluctantly and said: "Uncle, I will go to my grandmother's house during the Chinese New Year, you and my uncle will wait for me, I wonder if my little nephew will be born by then.

Hearing this, Jiang Yanzhi pinched Li Meier's little nose, and said with a smile, "It shouldn't be so soon, but when your little nephew is born, wouldn't you still be able to stay at home for a few days?"

Li Meier thought about it, so she became happy again, and waved off the two uncles.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year really began, and on this day, Aunt Zhuang came with the New Year gift-giving convoy.

Because Yu Susu moved out of the Li family a month ago, and the Li family was busy with Chinese New Year, they almost forgot about their mother and daughter.

Mrs. Li's face darkened immediately when she heard that Aunt Zhuang was coming, and she said to Mrs. Lin, "I don't like to see her. You can ask Meier's mother to tell her her daughter's current address, and let her leave her things and leave." .”

Although Mrs. Lin felt that this was not good, but seeing Mrs. Li's disgusted appearance, she had no choice but to talk to Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang felt helpless, so she could only help her mother-in-law to see Aunt Zhuang.

Aunt Zhuang already knew from Mrs. Lin that her daughter was no longer living in the Li family. Seeing Mrs. Jiang, she immediately asked, "Daughter-in-law, my daughter..."

"Auntie, don't worry, my cousin is fine now, and she gave birth to a fat boy." Jiang said directly without waiting for Aunt Zhuang to finish asking.

Aunt Zhuang's complexion immediately calmed down, followed by ecstasy, she said again and again: "Good! Good! It's really God's blessing, let Susu get a man in one fell swoop!"

Aunt Zhuang was agitated for a while, finally calmed down, and asked anxiously: "Where is Susu now?"

"Don't worry, aunt, my cousin is confinement in a family in our town. I'll take you there in person in a while." Said Jiang, the place where Yu Susu lived, Jiang didn't let too many people know, so as not to cause trouble.

"Okay! Okay! Then let's go now." Aunt Zhuang stood up from the chair as she spoke.

Jiang was a little helpless, and softly persuaded: "Auntie, you have been exhausted all this way, at least take a rest and eat something before going."

"No, I'm not tired at all. My daughter and grandson are the most important thing now." Aunt Zhuang was still very tired, but after hearing that her daughter had given birth to a son, she became energetic.
