Chapter 34 Gifts
In the end, Mrs. Li still didn't ask for a gold bracelet from her daughter-in-law. She was so angry that she didn't finish her meal, so she went back to her room with a dark face.

Mrs. Jiang didn't care, anyway, her mother-in-law always looked at her disliked, and she was not afraid of one more thing that would make her unhappy, and she was still pregnant, no matter how angry her mother-in-law would be, she would never really treat her badly.

After the May Festival, even if it was really summer, Jiang Shanqing finally got better after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Cui.

During the days when he was ill, Jiang Yanzhi came to see him every day. Although he stayed for a short time, Jiang Shanqing was visibly more cheerful.

One day in late May, Jiang Yanzhi came to Li's house again. When he came this time, he was still holding something wrapped in cloth in his hand.

Li Meier was very curious when she saw what was in Jiang Yanzhi's hand, and followed behind him and asked, "Uncle, what are you holding in your hand? Show me."

Jiang Yanzhi hid the things behind his back, and said with a mysterious smile: "This is my birthday present to Shan Qing, please remember to keep it secret for me, I want to give him a surprise."

"Birthday? Is today brother Shanqing's birthday?" Li Meier was surprised, because Jiang Shanqing never mentioned this to her.

"That's not true." Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "Shanqing's birthday is May [-]th, but I will go to the county in a few days, and your second uncle will take the hospital exam soon. Give him some pointers before the exam, if he can pass the exam, it will be of great benefit to his future scientific exams."

Only then did Li Meier remember that my second uncle had taken the childbirth examination this year. He had already passed the previous county and government examinations in April, and as long as he passed the final hospital examination, he would become a famous scholar.

"Second uncle will definitely pass the exam!"

Li Mei'er said very firmly that she remembered that in her previous life, her second uncle had been studying in the county school all the time, as if she was a natural born student, but before she died, her second uncle hadn't been admitted to Juren, unlike her uncle, who had been on the imperial examination road very hard. smoothly.

"Mei Meier said that she can pass the exam, so she will definitely pass the exam." Jiang Yanzhi patted Li Meier's head and said with a relieved smile.

"Brother Shanqing is reading in the room, Uncle, do you want to sneak over there?" Li Meier thought that Jiang Yanzhi wanted to surprise Jiang Shanqing, so she eagerly wanted to join him.

"He's reading again. Didn't he let him spend more time outside in his spare time? How can he be healthy if he stays in the room all the time?" Jiang Yanzhi said helplessly.

"I told him a long time ago, but brother Shanqing is very lazy, he likes to stay in the room and read a book, and he can't pull it out no matter what." Li Meier said very depressed.

It seems that this kid will also be a seed for reading in the future, but his mother also loved reading when she was a child, and her knowledge is much better than him. If it wasn't for later...

Thinking of Jiang Shanqing's mother, Jiang Yanzhi felt a sense of disappointment on his face. He sighed softly, and without saying anything, he dragged Li Meier to Jiang Shanqing's room.

Jiang Shanqing is seriously flipping through a book of travel notes in the house at the moment. He used to be an otaku, and he likes to stay at home and play games on his days off. When Mother was still there, she saw that he was smart and precocious, and taught him to read early on. Later, Jiang Yanzhi also taught him some, so he has already recognized the basic characters, and there is no problem in reading some simple books. This travel note was also borrowed from Jiang Yanzhi, and he would read some of it when he had time, and he was about to finish reading one.

When Jiang Yanzhi and Li Meier came in, he was watching intently, and the two of them were walking on tiptoe, so he didn't notice it. He didn't hear the movement until they got close, and raised his head belatedly.

"Father." Jiang Shanqing was slightly taken aback, and called out in a panic.

When she saw Li Meier covering her mouth and giggling behind Jiang Yanzhi, she gave her an annoyed look.

"Shan Qing, didn't I tell you not to stay in the house all the time, you should hang out with Mei Meier more often." Jiang Yanzhi said with a rather helpless expression.

What fun is it with a little girl, Jiang Shanqing slandered in his heart, but just smiled on his face, and responded obediently: "Father, I know."

Jiang Yanzhi couldn't help it, this child is like this every time, he promised well in person, once he leaves, he should do whatever he wants.

He didn't say anything else, and handed the things in his hand to Jiang Shanqing, "Open it and have a look."

Jiang Shanqing took it, and opened the white cloth wrapped on it, revealing a small wooden bow.He looked up suspiciously, not knowing why his adoptive father gave him the bow.

"It will be your birthday in a few days. I have something to go to the county seat, so I will give you this bow to congratulate you on your birthday in advance." Jiang Yanzhi said with a smile.

birthday?Jiang Shanqing almost forgot about it, looking at the small bow in his hand, his emotions were a little complicated.

"Thank you foster father, I like it very much." Jiang Shanqing held his bow and sincerely thanked him. Jiang Yanzhi is the only person who will take his birthday in his heart now.

"Uncle, Brother Shanqing doesn't know how to draw a bow. Isn't it a waste for you to give him this bow?" Li Meier looked at Jiang Shanqing's small body, and suddenly said from the side.

"At the beginning of next month, there will be a master who teaches Kung Fu. At that time, this bow will come in handy." Jiang Yanzhi said with a smile.

He is already a good friend of the county seat and invited a master. It is said that he is a veteran who retired from the army. training.

A friend once asked him to send a dart once, knowing that he had no business at the moment, so he wanted to ask him for help.This time he went to the county seat to see the master in person, and if he felt that there was no problem, he would invite him to his home.

When Jiang Shanqing heard the words, his small face immediately collapsed, and he asked very reluctantly: "Father, do I have to practice martial arts?"

He really didn't want to do this kind of drudgery. His mother always forced him to go out to exercise in the past, but he didn't expect it to be like this in ancient times.

Jiang Yanzhi nodded solemnly, "Shanqing, you have to know that the adoptive father is doing everything for your own good. The adoptive father does not expect you to have any great achievements in the future, as long as you can grow up healthy and healthy."

"Brother Shanqing, practicing martial arts is so interesting. I heard that people who practice martial arts are tall and strong. Don't you want to grow taller?" Li Meier knew that Jiang Shanqing was very concerned about her height, and said aggressively from the side.

Jiang Shanqing's expression became a little tangled in an instant, and after a while, he nodded a little dejectedly and said, "Okay, I will listen to my foster father."
