Chapter 33 Learning Kung Fu

When Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Jiang and the others coming, she didn't have a straight face as usual, and asked in a mild tone: "How is that boy Shanqing?"

"Mother, you are worried, you have just woken up, and the fever has subsided a little, and you should be fine after taking a few more medicines." Jiang replied with a smile.

Mrs. Li nodded, and couldn't help but sighed, "Shan Qing is not strong enough, I think his father is quite strong, it seems that he followed his mother."

I hope this kid won't be a short-lived ghost like his mother, otherwise her old man's investment will be a loss, Mrs. Li secretly cursed in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't answer these words, so she could only smile sarcastically, but Li Yan interrupted and said: "Mother, the doctor said that Shanqing needs to work hard to keep his body strong, so he probably needs to hire a master to teach him kung fu. "

"Who please?" Mrs. Li asked with some vigilance.

It cost a lot to hire a master, and Mrs. Jiang only gave her 50 taels. If she hired a master, there would not be much left.

"Yanzhi said that he will find a way." Li Yan didn't think too much about it, so he just mentioned it casually.

Hearing that it was Jiang Yanzhi who was going to invite someone, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If the master is really invited back, Ayan, can you also practice with me? You are not very good, and you have to take the imperial examination , how can I do without a good body."

Mrs. Li has always been adhering to the idea of ​​being a bastard if you don't take advantage of the advantages, so naturally she wants to squeeze out every penny of this master's value.

"I'm such an old man, how can I practice with a child? It's almost the same for Mei Meier to practice with Shanqing." Li Yan was a little speechless and said disapprovingly.

Mrs. Li thought about it for a while, and thought it would be okay, her girl Pian is strong, if she learns some kung fu to defend herself, she won't be bullied by her in-laws in the future.

"Don't talk nonsense, girls from every family, what kind of boxing kung fu should you learn?" Mrs. Jiang glared at Li Yan, thinking that he had come up with a bad idea.

"Mom, I want to learn, I want to learn, Kung Fu is so majestic!" Li Meier jumped up excitedly, thinking of her previous life because of illness and early death, she felt that it is imperative to exercise her body.

"Don't join me in the fun, you are not a girl anymore, if you learn kung fu again, be careful that you won't find your husband's family later." Jiang said threateningly.

"Then I won't get married and stay with my parents and grandmother." Li Mei'er said with a smile on her face.

"How can that be done!" Mrs. Li disagreed at first, and the girl wanted to stay at her mother's house forever, which is not acceptable.

"There's no girl who doesn't get married, and if she tells it, people will laugh at her." Mrs. Li taught the lesson with a straight face, and then looked at Jiang Shi after speaking, "Let the girl follow her for a few years, first train her body, and wait until she grows up. Don't let her practice."

The mother-in-law spoke, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't refute, so she could only nod her head first. Of course, she also knew what Mrs. Li was thinking, and she just wanted to take advantage of it, but after thinking about it, it would be a good thing if she could really improve her health.

Today is the holiday, and the dishes prepared by Li's kitchen are much richer than usual. If it was in the past, Li Meier would definitely salivate, but she just had a big meal at Zhou's at noon, and now she is facing her Ordinary meals, a little lack of interest.

Seeing that her daughter didn't move a few chopsticks, Mrs. Jiang thought she was not feeling well, so she immediately asked concerned: "Mei Meier, why don't you eat vegetables, what's wrong with you?"

Li Meier shook her head, sighed and said, "Mother, Zhou's family invited us to dinner at noon today. You don't know that the dishes on the table are delicious, including Bazhen duck from Baiweilou, and lion meat with crab noodles. The head, the lion head, not to mention how delicious it is!" Li Meier said, with a look of aftertaste.

"Zhou's? Didn't you go to see the dragon boat race? Why did you go to Zhou's again?" Mrs. Li immediately asked after hearing this.

"Mother, we just met by chance. The Zhou family also went to watch the dragon boat race. They and my mother-in-law's family will soon become in-laws, so they invited us to be guests on their boat." Li Yan didn't tell Mrs. Li that Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing fell into the water. I'm afraid that the old man will worry about her.

"Tsk tsk, the Zhou family is really rich and powerful. The noodles in Baiweilou cost a few taels of silver." Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh, with a strong envy in her tone, why didn't such a good thing let her old man I met you, I knew it earlier and went with me.

The son and the girl Duanzi are also not filial, so they don't know how to bring some back to her old man. She hasn't eaten the crab meat and lion head in Baiweilou yet.

Seeing Mrs. Li's regretful expression, Li Meier said without hesitation: "Grandma, what's so great about the rice noodles in Baiweilou? When I make money in the future, let's go to Baiweilou for dinner every day, and treat it as our family's meal." Hall."

"It's enough for Mei Meier to have this kind of filial piety." Li Yan touched his daughter's head in great relief.

"You are not very young, but your tone is not small. If there is such a day, my old man can wake up from his dreams with a smile."

Mrs. Li obviously didn't take Li Mei'er's words seriously, she didn't know what she thought of, she stared at her with burning eyes and asked, "By the way, the Zhou family gave you a meeting gift, what is it?"

Li Meier didn't say anything, she only glanced at Li Yan beside her, then lowered her head to pick up the rice.

"I asked you something, why are you dumb?" Mrs. Li asked again in a high voice.

"Mother, Mei Meier gave me something, it's a gold bracelet." Li Yan immediately helped his daughter out.

"Bring it here, I will keep it for you, you youngsters can't keep it."

When Mrs. Li heard that it was a gold bracelet, she didn't eat, so she spread her hands and asked Li Yan for something. Gold, the Zhou family is really rich, and they gave such a precious thing when they first met.

Li Yan was a little embarrassed, "Mom, we can keep it for ourselves..."

Mrs. Li glared at Li Yan when she heard the words, "Why, you still don't believe me, I want your things, and I save them for you. In the future, when you buy a house or land, you don't want me to pay for it."

"Mother, I've put away the bracelet. Although the girl from the Zhou family is engaged to my second brother, she hasn't been married yet. We can't accept such a valuable thing from her. I plan to give it away when my second brother is hired. Go back." Seeing Mrs. Li's aggressive appearance, Mrs. Jiang immediately helped her husband out of the siege.

Mrs. Li was not happy when she heard it, "You are stupid, since they gave it away, they don't care about this little thing. The Zhou family is a well-known wealthy family in our town, and one or two gold bracelets can still be seen in their eyes, hurry up Take the things out, I will keep them for Mei Meier, and I will give them to her as a dowry in the future."

Mrs. Jiang didn't speak, anyway, the things were here with her, so it would be fine for Mrs. Li if she didn't take them out.
