Chapter 233 Filial Piety
Li Meier automatically ignored Li's old lady's dislike of her being fat, and then talked about things in the state capital, "Grandmother, the state capital is very prosperous, and we visited a lot of places, such as teahouses, bookstores, silver houses, and Baiwei. There is also a Baiwei Building in the state capital, which is more grand and better than the one in our town, and we went to climb Siming Mountain yesterday, and stayed in the Taoist temple for one night!" Saying this, she remembered something , and asked Mother Lin beside her, "Mom, have we unloaded everything from the car?"

Sister Lin smiled, "Scholar and Chuaner are watching the unloading." Just as they were talking, the two came in, Shuxiang smiled, "Don't worry, eldest sister, they are all put down the corridor."

Li Meier nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea and said, "Grandmother, we bought you a lot of things, including clothes materials, snacks, and jewelry."

"You guys also bought jewelry! Gold or silver? Oh, how much does it cost!" Mrs. Li began to feel sorry for the money before she saw the things.

Jiang gave her daughter a blank look, told her to shut up quickly, and then took the bait and said: "Mother, you don't know, our books are selling well in the state capital, and this time we must be able to make a lot of money. I just wanted to buy some jewelry when I came back, after all, it’s rare for us to go to the state capital, and the jewelry in the state capital not only has more styles, but also is cheaper than the ones in our town!"

"Did you really make a lot of money? How much did you make?" Mrs. Li's face eased a lot after hearing that the book was selling well, but she still asked in disbelief.

"We won't know the details until this batch of books are sold out, but there must be a lot." Jiang replied with a smile.

"Even if you make money, you can't spend it vigorously. It's serious to save it to buy land." Mrs. Li is used to saving money.

Jiang smiled and said nothing, looked at Li Yan beside him, Li Yan immediately understood, took out a pair of big gold bracelets from his arms, and handed them to Mrs. Li. "Mother, this is my son honoring you."

When Mrs. Li took a look, her eyes were stuck in the big gold bracelet and could not be pulled out.

After a while, she picked it up and bit it into her mouth. Li Meier saw her toothache, and couldn't help but persuade, "Grandma, don't break your old teeth!" At this age, the teeth are not too strong. Bar.

Seeing the gold bracelet, Mrs. Li couldn't close her mouth. She pursed her lips tightly and smiled happily, "If there are always people who respect the gold bracelet, I would rather have my teeth broken!" Then she picked it up and looked at the color of the sky. It was heavy in her hand, and Mrs. Li weighed the weight and looked at Li Yan and asked, "This pair of bracelets is about two taels of gold, so they cost three to forty taels, right?"

"We bought a lot, and the store gave me a discount. Two pairs of gold bracelets cost 50 taels in total." Li Yan replied with a smile.

Mrs. Li's eyelids twitched, and her distressed liver began to tremble. She opened her eyes and asked, "How much did you buy?"

"Grandmother, Dad can't just buy it for you, he has to treat everyone equally, and Mother also got a pair of gold bracelets." Li Meier said with a smile.

Mrs. Li's pink eye suddenly relapsed. Although it is true that her son loves her daughter-in-law, the mother always hopes that her son will put herself ahead of her daughter-in-law.

"I should buy a pair for your daughter-in-law. For many years, your daughter-in-law only has a few pairs of silver, and I haven't seen gold ones yet." Although Mrs. Li said so, her tone was quite sour. .

Li Meier couldn't help laughing, thinking that if she let her grandmother know that her mother got an extra golden step, she would be jealous to death.

Mrs. Jiang pretended that she didn't see Mrs. Li's sore face, and said with crooked eyes, "Mother will wear this bracelet when she goes out in the future. My husband bought it for you, so you can show off to your neighbors."

When Mrs. Li thought of the envious eyes of her relatives and friends, her old face smiled into a chrysanthemum again, but she still pretended to say, "Our Ayan has been filial since he was a child. It's not that those relatives and friends don't know it, so there is no need to make a big fuss about it." Show off."

"How can this not be showing off? Filial piety is also different from filial piety. Those who are filial on the surface but secretly refuse to spend too much money on their parents. They are all fake filial piety for others to see. , my father is truly filial, so grandma, you have to show off your strength and let others know that my father is a filial son, so my father's reputation will be even better." Li Meier said to Mrs. Li with a smile follow her reason.

"Mei Meier, daddy's filial piety to your grandmother is not for fame. If it's for such a false name, then it's not true filial piety." Li Yan felt that his daughter's idea was wrong, so he scolded his face.

"I know father, that's what I said." Li Mei'er immediately admitted her mistake, she knew that her father was upright, and filial piety was a matter of course for him, and she didn't want to rely on utilitarianism.

"I think what the girl said is right. My son is so good. Naturally, I want others to know." Mrs. Li stood on the same front with her granddaughter this time, and put the big yellow gold bracelet on her hand .

Mrs. Li looked at the gold bracelet with a somewhat emotional expression, and couldn't help talking about Gu'er, "When your grandfather was alive, he gave me a gold hairpin and two gold earrings. At that time, I said The song is even better than the singing, it was originally meant to be a bracelet for me, but later your eldest sister fell ill, and the gold bracelet was not finished..."

Seeing that Mrs. Li was about to feel sad again, Li Meier quickly said: "Grandmother, grandfather is really good to you, and given our family's situation at that time, he even gave you gold jewelry. You are really lucky. Now daddy is also buying it for you." Gold jewelry, this is double your luck. When I get rich in the future, I will also buy you a big gold bracelet, then your luck will be tripled!"

Mrs. Li was amused by Li Meier's words, she spat at her and said, "I have to write down what you said, so as not to forget it when you get rich someday."

"How can it be, I can't forget you, grandma!" Li Meier laughed, and the thieves sounded flattering.

Mrs. Li was coaxed to be happy by Li Meier, she didn't care about their waste of money, and asked with a smile: "What else did you buy? Take it out and see, if it's for your family, you can share it by the way." .”

Jiang smiled and asked Mrs. Lin to go outside and bring in the pile of things.I didn't think so when I bought it, but now I see that there are quite a lot of them. The rouge and gouache are all for women, and there are more than a dozen pieces of silk and satin. The more mature colors are for Mrs. Li, and the more stable ones are for Mrs. Jiang herself. The bright ones are for Li Meier, and four horses of lake blue and jade green are used to make clothes for Li Yan and Jiang Shanqing.
