Chapter 354 He Zheng
After the Qixi Festival, it was the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Zhongyuan sacrifice was a big event, so the Li family thought it was better to go back to the old house in Zhangshui Town to hold the sacrifice, otherwise the ancestors would not be able to find the place, and the Jiang family would also help Jiang Youzhi We are going to hold a natal sacrifice together, so the family decided to return to Zhangshui Town a few days in advance.

Because Bailu Academy didn't have a holiday until the day before the festival, Li Yan and the others took two days off in advance to come back. Mrs. Li thought that she would go back to town immediately after her son came back, so she wanted to prepare all the things for the sacrifice. Yes, when the time comes, you can take it back to the old house and use it.

Paper money and so on are all bought from outside, but the ingots are all folded by the female relatives themselves. First, the foil paper is cut, and the three women of the Li family start to fold the ingots. Burn a dozen banknotes for your ancestors, and you can buy everything."

Mrs. Li said, "A bank note is worth several hundred taels. My ancestors used it to buy a house and land in the underground. This is for ordinary expenses, such as bribing little ghosts or something." See how thoughtful her old man is for his ancestors.

Li Meier was noncommittal, and said, "My father and the others are coming back today?"

"That said, it's today, and it should be here before lunch." Jiang said.

"I haven't seen my dad and the others for a month, and I'm still thinking about it." Li Meier tilted her head and said.

"Didn't you just go up the mountain to see it a few days ago?" Mrs. Li said.Because Li Meier's shop is on the mountain, Li Meier goes up the mountain more frequently.

"I went up the mountain, but I didn't see daddy and the others, and the academy is not allowed to come out at noon now." Li Meier sighed and said, the business of her noodle shop has become much weaker without the students from the academy at noon.

"Aren't there fewer people going to your shop?" Mrs. Li asked worriedly with the same brain frequency as Li Meier.

"It's okay, there are people doing business nearby, and although the students can't come out, their book boys and servants can still come out, many of them bought two or three copies, and took them back for their masters to eat. "Li Meier comforted Mrs. Li and said that although the business of her noodle shop is not as good as it was when it first opened, it has tended to be stable. Anyway, as long as it is making money, she doesn't care if she earns more or less. Anyway, the money from the shop has been earned back. Well, if the business is not easy to do in the future, just resell the shop, and you can make a profit without losing money.

The three of them folded ingots while chatting, Brother Jian already knew how to crawl, and climbed quickly on Mrs. Li's bed, Nanny Lin couldn't stand him because she was too old, so she asked Baozi to watch.

When it was almost noon, Li Yan and his group came back. Kang Geer, who was playing at the door, first saw the group's car, and ran into the house to report to several people.

"Mother, grandma, daddy and the others are back."

Li Meier moved the fastest, immediately threw the ingot in her hand, and ran towards the door.Jiang couldn't help shouting behind her.

Mrs. Li also scolded, "Damn girl, run slowly!" Then she looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "You go too, I'll just stay here and watch Brother Jian."

Although Jiang didn't say anything, she still missed her husband very much, so she nodded, put down her work, and went out to meet him.

When Li Meier arrived at the door, just as Li Yan and his car stopped at the door, Jiang Shanqing got out of the car first, followed by Jiang Youzhi, and behind Jiang Youzhi was the boy in the same school shirt. Li Meier didn't know this person, so she Puzzled eyes looked at Jiang Youzhi and Jiang Shanqing.

"This is He Zheng. He will go back to Zhangshui Town tomorrow, so he will be with us." Jiang Youzhi explained.

When Li Meier heard He Zheng's name, she felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that this was the grandson of the patriarch's wife, who had been interested in Sister Yuan Chun before, and was the chief culprit who caused Li Mengdan to frame Sister Yuan Chun.

Thinking of this, Li Meier had a bad impression of him. Although he hadn't actually done anything, there was a close relative in his heart. When she thought of how miserable this man had caused Sister Yuanchun, she would treat him with I can't get enthusiastic.

Li Meier casually nodded to He Zheng, then pulled Jiang Shanqing aside to talk.

"Why did you go with him?" Li Meier frowned and asked in a low voice in Jiang Shanqing's ear.

"Everyone is studying in Bailu Academy, and they are all from the same hometown, so the relationship is naturally closer. Ah Zheng was in a very depressed mood when we first went to the academy when he landed in the last autumn. It was his aunt who enlightened him." Jiang Shanqing said to He. Zheng didn't have any objections, and replied in an ordinary tone.

"Father is such a nice person..." Li Meier said with curled lips, willing to help anyone.

"Actually, he's not bad. He got a setback in the imperial examination a while ago, and now he doesn't think about those men and women, so he just concentrates on his studies. He has a good talent, and he should be able to pass in the next Qiu Wei." Jiang Shanqing said again.

Li Mei'er didn't care about this person, she responded perfunctorily, and went to talk to her father and uncle.

When Mrs. Jiang came out, she saw a group of people talking around the door, so she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Don't all stand at the door, go in and wash your face, this lunch is already ready, you can change your clothes and Have a meal."

A group of people then entered the house.Li Yan washed his face, changed into clean clothes, and immediately went to Mrs. Li's room first.

When Mrs. Li saw her son, she couldn't help but murmured for a while, "Why is he so thin again? The three meals are delicious, but you can't just focus on studying and forget to eat." Thinking about how hard it is to study.Already planning to ask the girl to make soup for his son to nourish his body.

Jiang Shi laughed at the side, "I think it's solid."

Li Yan also laughed, "It's hard to go up and down the mountain. You Zhi came back with me, and he's much stronger than before. My mother will know when she sees him soon."

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "It's time to come back and pay homage to the ancestors so that they can bless them underground."

Li Yan saw that his youngest son had grown up a lot, and he liked it very much. He hugged him and said, "The child really changes every day. Brother Jian, does he still know Daddy?"

Naturally, he didn't recognize him. Brother Jian was crawling happily on Mrs. Li's bed, and suddenly he was picked up and hugged in his arms, and he punched him with his small fist.Li Yan laughed out loud.

The whole family talked for a while, and then went to the main hall together, Jiang Youzhi and He Zheng were already waiting there first, seeing Mrs. Li, they hurriedly greeted her.

"That's enough, it's all my family, so there's no need to be too polite, let's all sit down and eat quickly, after traveling all morning, I should be hungry." Mrs. Li hurriedly said to the two of them.

Everyone sat down at the table to eat. Li Meier set up the lunch with one hand. The meatballs were made by hand. It can be said that it was delicious. The Li family was fine, they were all used to it, but it was the first time for He Zheng to eat it. , At first I thought it was bought from a restaurant, but when I heard that it was all made by Li Meier herself, I couldn't help sighing, thinking that this sister of Uncle Yan's family is not very old, but she is really capable .
