Chapter 35 Birthday
Jiang Yanzhi didn't stay long this time and went back.

After he left, Li Meier asked Jiang Shanqing, "Brother Shanqing, what birthday present do you want?"

Jiang Shanqing glanced at her, and said quietly: "I hope you don't bother me, especially when I'm reading."

Li Meier was choked to death, but since Jiang Shanqing saved her last time, she seldom quarreled with him, ignored his cold face, and continued: "May I give you some arrows, you have a bow now Aren't they just short of arrows?"

"Not good!" Jiang Shanqing's face was dark, he didn't want to practice arrows at all, okay!Does this damn girl know how to look at her face?

Seeing his appearance, Li Mei'er secretly laughed in her heart: Hehe, take it back and make you bully me all the time!
On the day of Jiang Shanqing's birthday, Li Meier got up early, and as soon as Mrs. Jiang dressed her, she trotted to Jiang Shanqing's room, rushed in without knocking on the door.

Jiang Shanqing is getting dressed, seeing her come in so recklessly, her face turns dark, this girl, she is not girly at all, don't everyone say that ancient women's ethics are as great as the sky, did he meet a fake ancient man?

"Brother Shanqing, happy birthday, this is a gift from me." Li Meier took out a small sachet from her arms and handed it to Jiang Shanqing before she could catch her breath.

Jiang Shanqing took the sachet, looked at the delicate embroidery on it, looked at Li Meier suspiciously and asked, "You made this?"

Li Meier nodded, and said in a low voice: "I have worked so hard to make this. I secretly took some leftover scraps from my mother for making clothes. In order not to let her find out, I hide and do it secretly every day." , after all, I have never learned needlework in my life, so it would be hard to explain if she finds out."

Jiang Shanqing was a little moved in his heart, but he still had the aloof look on his face, he put the sachet into his sleeve casually, "I didn't expect you to be useless, thank you." As long as he didn't really give him the arrow, what It's easy to say.It was rare for Li Meier to be praised by Jiang Shanqing, and she was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly, "I haven't done it for a long time, and some hands are raw, otherwise I will definitely be able to do better."

"It's already pretty good, don't do it in the future, wait until you're older." Jiang Shanqing glanced at the small wounds on Li Meier's fingers, and said with a slight frown.

Li Meier seemed to have noticed it too. She hid her hands behind her back, looked down at her toes and said, "It's okay. You have to practice embroidery from an early age. My mother started sewing when she was three or four years old. Otherwise, he would Now the craftsmanship is not so good, and she basically makes our family's clothes."

"Your mother is your mother, you are you, anyway, don't do it." Jiang Shanqing said with a straight face.

Li Meier just smiled and didn't agree.

Jiang Shanqing cursed secretly, then turned around and took something out of the cabinet, and handed it to Li Meier.

"This is... the golden lock that sister Zhou gave you." Li Meier said, looking at the golden and heavy things in her hands.

"It's useless to put it here, just treat it as investing in your business." Jiang Shanqing said indifferently.

Li Meier did not refuse this time, and said with a smile: "Then leave it with me first, and when I make money later, it would be better to pay you back."

Jiang Shanqing didn't take her words to heart, he is a masculine man, there is no reason to spend a woman's money.

"Mei'er, Shanqing, come over and have dinner!" The two were talking when Jiang's voice came from outside.

"Mother called us. She knows that today is your birthday, so she must have cooked a lot of delicious food. Let's go! It will be cold if we go late." Li Meier immediately pulled Jiang Shanqing, and ran outside while talking.

Mrs. Jiang did the cooking for Jiang Shanqing herself. Longevity noodles look simple, but in fact they are not. It is not an easy task for just one bowl of noodles.

However, Mrs. Jiang is also used to making longevity noodles. In the past, Li Meier and Li Yan's birthdays were all made by herself.

Mrs. Jiang brought the noodles to Jiang Shanqing, said with a smile: "Try your aunt's cooking, I know you don't like meat, and the broth for making noodles is also vegetarian broth."

"Brother Shanqing, you must finish eating one piece of noodles. Don't bite off halfway, or it will be unlucky." Li Meier reminded with a smile on the side.

"Mei'er, don't make trouble. The longevity noodles are just for good intentions, and they don't have to be so particular." Li Yan immediately added from the side, fearing that Jiang Shanqing would be burdened.

Li Mei'er thinks about it too. In her previous life, she tried her best to eat one without biting it off, but in the end she died early. This thing can't be counted.

"Thank you, aunt." Jiang Shanqing ignored Li Meier, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, he really ate up a bowl of noodles in one go.

Jiang Shi and Li Yan held back their laughter, and when Jiang Shanqing finished eating, Jiang took out a pair of shoes, handed them to Jiang Shanqing and said, "My aunt didn't know what to give you, so I made you a pair of shoes. Try to see if it fits."

Without further ado, Jiang Shanqing took off his shoes and put on new ones. After putting them on, he walked a few steps before looking up at Mrs. Jiang, "Thank you, aunt, the shoes are just right."

"As long as you like it, aunt will make all your clothes, shoes and socks for you." Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Li Yan also took out a writing brush, handed it to Jiang Shanqing and said, "I heard that you like reading books, and you are four years old now, and you will be enlightened soon. Although this writing brush is not very expensive, it is worth it for beginners. It is also very suitable for scholars, and I will give it to you as a birthday present today."

Jiang Shanqing took the brush, bowed slightly, and expressed his thanks in a sincere tone, "Thank you uncle, I will definitely use this brush well."

"It's really rare that you have such a willingness to learn." Li Yan praised him. He liked Jiang Shanqing very much, and felt that he worked hard at a young age, and he would have a bright future in the future.

"Okay, Shan Qing is only four years old, and it's still early for him to study. This age should be a time for fun, so don't put pressure on him." Mrs. Jiang shot Li Yan a look, and said disapprovingly.

Li Yan immediately apologized, answering again and again, several people had breakfast, Li Yan went to school, and Jiang took the two children to pay his respects to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li also knew that today was Jiang Shanqing's birthday. Li Meier mentioned it when she was having dinner with her a few days ago.

So when Li Meier and the others came to pay their respects, Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Lin to bring out a box of snacks.
