Chapter 392 Plans and Gifts

Naturally, the lunch was very rich. It was the dust-cleaning wine for Jiang Youzhi. There was stewed old hen soup, beef in sauce, pork knuckle in sauce, and a few seasonal vegetables fried by Li Meier herself, plus steamed one-to-Xuancheng specialties. , Shuiyang duck foot bag.

Everyone in the Li family was very curious about this Shuiyang duck foot bun, because they hadn't seen it before. When it was served, Brother Kang came over and commented: "It smells pretty good."

Jiang Youzhi laughed at the side, "It tastes delicious, if you don't believe me, Brother Kang, you can try it."

Brother Kang has been a foodie since he was a child, and he really wanted to taste it quickly, but he thought that Mrs. Li hadn't eaten yet, so he put one in Mrs. Li's bowl first, and said courteously, "Grandmother, please taste it first."

Mrs. Li was so happy that she kept praising her, "Oh! My eldest grandson is really filial. You eat it yourself. Eat more. I think you have lost weight in the past two days."

Li Mei'er was a little speechless, his brother's weight was obviously increasing steadily, but with which eyes did grandma see that he had lost weight, there was a kind of thinness that made the elders think you were thin.

Brother Kang got the consent, and immediately picked up one and ate it. The taste was delicious, the bones were crisp and crisp, and the meat was very chewy, which made his mouth full of saliva.

Brother Kang didn't even bother to say anything, but just raised his thumb to show that it was very delicious.

Seeing his appearance, everyone at the table couldn't help laughing, and each of them picked up a stick, which was considered a newcomer.

Li Mei'er is also considered an old gourmet now, after tasting it carefully, she said with a smile: "It should be very delicious to eat in a pot in winter."

Jiang Youzhi immediately nodded in agreement, "Mei Meier is right. When I was in Xuancheng, many people in Xuancheng liked to cook this in a pot. It has a special flavor."

After everyone finished their meal happily, they continued drinking tea and chatting, and Jiang asked about Jiang Youzhi's future plans.

"I plan to rest for a month first. I will sort out what I have gained from this study tour, and I will go back to Bailu Academy after the weather gets hot in May." Jiang Youzhi talked about his plan while drinking tea, drinking naturally It was the Jinshan Shigu he brought back from Xuancheng.

Jiang thought it was good, nodded and said: "Next year will be the year of autumn, you should work harder and try to pass the exam this time."

Mrs. Jiang is also worried. My younger brother is about to turn 21. If he doesn't pass the Juren exam, he will have to wait another three years for his marriage. If he waits until then, there will be no good girls willing to marry him. .

"Sister, don't worry, I think it's almost done this time, and then I will go to the capital to take part in the test with my brother-in-law. I haven't seen my parents and brothers for many years, and I really miss them."

Mrs. Jiang thought about it too, but in front of Mrs. Li, she couldn't say it directly, so she just gave Jiang You a look and said, "Don't talk big, it's not so easy to test people, some people spend most of their lives in the test You didn't pass the exam, even your brother-in-law has put in a lot of hard work, you have never been able to settle down to study, so you can't fail again just because of carelessness."

"Sister, I know all about it, so don't worry." Jiang Youzhi said helplessly seeing how worried Jiang was about him.

Li Meier looked at the confident appearance of her little uncle, but she was a little worried. Thinking about her previous life, her little uncle also failed the ranking this time. No matter how much her mother persuaded him, he refused to get married first, and then simply hid in the academy and never came out, and did not go home during the New Year.However, many things in this life are different from before. Just like her father, he also failed in the previous life just like the little uncle, but in this life, he passed the Juren examination early, and the little uncle may not be able to pass this time. .

Li Meier felt that she had to learn more from her grandmother, and begged her little uncle more in front of the Bodhisattva, and begged the Bodhisattva to bless him to be successful, otherwise the little uncle would really be a bachelor forever.

Because they were going back to their hometown to sweep the tomb in Qingming, the men of the Li family, including Jiang Shanqing and Kang Geer, all returned to Zhangshui Town, and only Li Meier and the other female relatives were left in the family.

Mrs. Jiang wanted to take care of the family affairs, so she handed brother Jian over to Mrs. Li to watch over. Li Meier could also help out. Now Mr. Jian can walk and run, and he can run away without a trace as soon as he lets go. After all, Mrs. Li Her legs and feet are not sharp enough, so Li Meier has to help her with her legs and feet.

This is the time when the spring bamboo shoots are at their tenderest. When Li Meier went to visit her shop on the mountain two days ago, she dug a lot and was packing them up.

Brother Kang squatted beside her, playing with the bamboo shoots she peeled off.

"Oh, your aunt has loved to eat these bamboo shoots since she was a child. When she is released with her son-in-law, I don't know if she will be able to eat this fresh bite." Looking at the spring bamboo shoots, Mrs. Li thought of her eldest daughter again, and said melancholy .

Li Meier kept moving her hands, raised her head and said with a smile: "If you are still in the south, you should be able to eat it. It's hard to say in the north, but even if you go to the north, you are not afraid. I will dry more dried bamboo shoots then. Ask aunt to bring it, cold salad or soup will do, it’s equally delicious.”

Mrs. Li thought about it, so she nodded and said: "Then you should make more, anyway, dried bamboo shoots won't spoil."

Li Meier responded with a smile.

Mrs. Li didn't know what to think, she turned her head and said to Li Mei'er, "Your aunt always loves you. When your cousin comes to our house, she buys you delicious food every day. You should also make something for her yourself. I Here is your aunt's size, I can't make big ones, why don't you make a pair of shoes for your aunt?"

Li Meier was a little distressed when she heard the words, "It takes at least a month to make a pair of shoes, and I'm afraid it will be too late."

Mrs. Li thought for a while, and felt that the girl's film was useless, "Why are your hands so slow." The next best thing was to say, "Then make a pair of socks, and do it carefully."

Li Mei'er's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Mrs. Li sent her to do needlework for her aunt with all her heart, so it must be because of the idea of ​​kissing and kissing?Thinking about her being twelve years old now, Li Meier really laments that Mrs. Li is worthy of being a real grandmother, and right now she is planning her lifelong affairs.

However, she was a little bit off-kilter. Mrs. Li had already planned on her lifelong affairs, but the targets were not her cousins.

Li Mei'er said, "Auntie doesn't have any socks, and I'm not very good at sewing. Isn't this obviously timid. When I write a letter to Auntie, Auntie will see my good handwriting and know that I have talent. No more Good at sewing."

"What do you know? Girls, it's okay if you can't write. If you don't know how to sew, just ask someone to talk about it."

"This is my aunt, and she's not an outsider. Don't worry, grandma. Think about it, grandma, in our town, nine out of ten girls' families know how to sew. How many can read?"

　There are a lot of things before the Chinese New Year, and they should all be updated recently. I can spare time to update as much as possible (^з^)-☆
