Chapter 298 Going to the State Capital

Li Meier felt that Mrs. Li must have lost her head with the joy of her grandson, so she gave her and her mother good materials so irrationally, so she thought that before she woke up, she would cut the materials into clothes quickly, so as to save her One day I understand and regret going back!
In order to avoid this possibility, Li Meier devoted herself to sewing clothes during the whole year when she was free, and she also sewed the clothes for Jiang Shanqing. Since last year, she has actually made Jiang Shanqing's clothes.Jiang Shanqing didn't say anything, and seemed quite satisfied.

In addition to making clothes, Li Meier also kills pigs to make sauce meat, sausages, bacon and so on.Brother Jiang Shanqingkang and Jiang Youzhi were taken by He Gong to the relatives of the clan to give New Year gifts. When the new year was approaching, the addition of a baby to the family was such a happy event that Li Yan laughed when he saw everyone.

The Li family really enjoyed this year, and Mrs. Li was also very happy. After this year, she had a second grandson, and the old lady had let go of most of her life's wishes. She felt that she would close her eyes now and go underground. He is also a meritorious minister of the old Li family!

Seeing her second grandson, Mrs. Li was very happy, and praised her again and again, "Tell me, why is he so handsome. This child is not only born, but also born to grow up. When he grows up, he will be even more handsome than his grandfather." For Li Ma'am, this is the ultimate compliment.

Li Meier has never met her grandfather, but she heard from her mother that her grandfather is very handsome. If he is so handsome, then his father must be a handsome man, but his grandmother and her old man have their own filters. Naturally, he is very handsome. .

Kang Geer is now an older brother, and he has one more fun every day, which is to study his younger brother who grows more and more handsome. The little doll is a magical species for Kang Geer who has just become an older brother. He took out one of the New Year's red envelopes for Brother Jian, and touched Brother Jian's head, "Don't worry about it yourself, remember to pay New Year's greetings to brother when you grow up." Then he asked his mother, "When will Ah Jian talk and call brother brother?" what?"

Jiang smiled, "It's coming soon, I'll call someone by this time next year."

Brother Kang counted with his fingers, and felt that it was far away, "There is still one year!" I am really anxious to death!
Li Yan looked at his son's appearance, but was speechless, pretending to be a loving father and asked: "You will be enlightened this year, why are you still so childish, you memorized all the poems I taught you yesterday?"

Because Kang Geer was brought by Li Meier since he was a child, he learned to read early, and now he can memorize the thousand-character text fluently. Li Yan is busy with his studies, but he also finds time to teach his son poems and words. He will check every time he teaches. recite.However, Brother Kang is young and has a good memory. It doesn't take much effort to memorize these things. Li Yan thinks that the eldest son is a good material for reading, and he is determined to train him well. Maybe he will be better than him as a father in the future. Promising.

"I've already learned it by heart. I've already recited it to my sister. Ask my sister if you don't believe me." Brother Kang said proudly, tilting his head.

Only then was Li Yan somewhat satisfied, and decided to teach his son another poem later.This time it will be longer, and it will save face when I drag my son out to show off.

"By the way, Ayan, can you choose the name of Brother Jian?" Mrs. Li suddenly thought of this, and asked quickly.

"After thinking about it, let's call it Li Bin, a polite Bin." Li Yan replied with a smile, the meaning of this word is good, and it sounds good when you read it. Li Yan thought for a long time before deciding.

"Li Bin..." Mrs. Li read a few times before praising with a smile on her face, "That's right, it's very catchy, it's a good name."

Little Li Bin finally has a big name, and this happy year of the Li family is over.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Youzhi was ready to go back to the state capital and continue his studies at Bailu Academy after Brother Jian finished his hundred days.Although he failed in Qiu Wei this time, he was not too discouraged. He still had some confidence in his article. If he worked hard for another three years, he would definitely be on the list.

Li Yan and Mrs. Jiang sent him away together. After returning home, Mrs. Jiang asked her husband, "Husband, since you don't plan to participate in this Spring Festival, what are your plans next?"

In fact, Li Yan already had a plan in his heart. Now when his wife asked, she replied truthfully: "I also plan to study at the Bailu Academy in the state capital. There is a very knowledgeable Xu Daru there. If I can study under him, I will definitely benefit. A lot."

Although Jiang was reluctant to part with her husband, she also knew that his future was the most important thing, so she nodded and said: "Don't worry, husband, I will take care of the family affairs, Mei Meier is grown up now, and can also help me on weekdays. "

Li Yan was reluctant to part with his wife and children, and actually had other plans in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Yingying, I've actually thought about it carefully. What do you think about moving our family to the state capital? It's much more prosperous than Zhangshui Town. , and it is much safer, and I will definitely not encounter the Japanese pirates attack last time, when I think of the last time you were in danger, but I was not by my side, I feel very uncomfortable."

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect her husband to have such an idea, and her first reaction was to shake her head and refuse, "No way, the Li family's ancestors have lived in Zhangshui Town for generations, and my mother has lived here for decades, how can I just move away?" Let's go." At this moment, the common people have a strong sense of clan, and generally they will not leave the clan to live alone.

Li Yan just smiled and said: "You're thinking about it, aren't you? If I really pass the Jinshi exam in the future, there is a high probability that I will go to the outside to become an official. How can I stay in the ancestral land all the time? You see, brother-in-law and In other words, after winning the exam, you will immediately go to the capital to become an official, and the whole family will move there. As long as we are together as a family, we can live well wherever we go, and Yingying, don't you want to see her from time to time? Look at me, if you stay in Zhangshui Town, I can only come back for a few days during the New Year's Eve, but if we move to the state capital, I can go home to accompany you and the children as soon as we have a rest."

Mrs. Jiang was shaken by Li Yan's words, she thought for a while, and then sighed: "Of course I marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog, I will follow you wherever you want me to go." Where, I'm afraid that my mother won't want to, after all, it's hard to leave his homeland, and he has been here in Zhangshui Town for decades."

"You don't have to worry about it, I will tell my mother." Li Yan comforted his wife, apparently already made up his mind.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li did not object as expected by Mrs. Jiang. After thinking for a while, she made a decision: "Go! My old lady has been living in this small place of Zhangshui Town for most of her life, so I should go out and have a look. Look at the market, I'm not only going to the state capital, I'm going to follow my son to the capital to see the big world!"
