Chapter 403 Family Style
Jiang Shanqing coughed, and before Li Meier could react, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Mei Meier knows that my aunt likes to eat noodles with crab noodles, so I specially made a jar of bald butter for you, and you can try it later to see if it suits your taste. "

Li Meier immediately answered, "Grandma, I picked out the crabs for this jar of bald butter one by one. They are fat and strong, and they must be better than the ones sold outside. If you eat them Okay, I'll make another can for you later, anyway, there are still a lot of crabs at home."

Mrs. Zhengu gave Jiang Shanqing another meaningful look, nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Li Meier chatted with Mrs. Zhengu about some recent trivial matters, and had dinner with Mrs. Zhengu before leaving with Jiang Shanqing.

Mrs. Zhengu was in a good mood today, and she personally sent the two of them to the door.

"Next time, you don't have to come here in person. It's the same for people to bring things back. It's cold and it's inconvenient to go back and forth." Mrs. Aunt Zhen helped Li Mei'er tidy her cloak and said with a smile.

The next time Li Meier came to deliver things would be before Chinese New Year, and it was the coldest time of the year.

"It's very convenient, it takes half a day by boat, and I miss you, Auntie, don't you want to see me?" Li Meier said in a slightly coquettish tone.

The smile on Mrs. Zhen's face deepened, she gently scratched her nose and said, "I'm not afraid that you will freeze, you little heartless."

Li Meier hugged Mrs. Zhengu's arm and coquettishly for a while, then reluctantly left.

Mrs. Zhen looked at the backs of the two of them going away, her eyes gradually became a little dazed.

"Master, it's windy at night, let's go back." Seeing Mrs. Zhengu standing at the door for a long time without moving, Qingyuan persuaded softly from behind.

Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly, then turned and entered the house.

After seeing Mrs. Zhengu, Li Meier returned to the state capital by boat early the next morning.As soon as Li Meier came home, the house was full of excitement.Because it was the festival, Li Yan and Jiang Shi had already given away almost everything for the Double Ninth Festival, so the whole family gathered at home for the festival.

Li Mei'er had just settled the profit of the noodle shop for more than half a year, and she had a lot of money, so she bought gifts for her family, and Mrs. Li got a pair of golden hairpins.

When Mrs. Li saw the gold, her eyes gleamed uncontrollably. She did have a gold hairpin, but it was just a round-headed hairpin with no fancy designs. It couldn't compare to the exquisite pair Li Meier bought.

Mrs. Li blamed her with a smile, "You're spending money indiscriminately again. If I had known this, I should have gone up the mountain with you to get the money!" But she looked at it several times with admiration, and said, "This style of magpie climbing the plum tree, before I’ve seen flower sellers sell them before, but this is the first time I’ve seen gold hairpins.”

The Li family is also a family of small riches. Mrs. Li has several kinds of silver jewelry, but the gold jewelry is limited. Now she is really happy to see it, but also really distressed. She said, "This must be worth several acres of land."

Li Meier said, "How many acres of land did you get for the filial piety I gave you?"

"But girl of life, it's not for you." Mrs. Li has the same advantage, she is a discerning person, the money Li Meier earns, the land is Li Meier's.

The old lady happily took the gold hairpin away, and said to Li Meier, "Don't go back to buy clothes materials in the future. There are clothes to wear at home, and those you buy are also put away. If you have money, why don't you buy a few more acres of land." I don't know why he has such a smug temper, as long as he makes money, he will buy a lot of materials back.Of course, the materials are all good materials, and Mrs. Li likes them when she looks at them, but she is reluctant to bear them.

Li Meier thought, this old lady has such a deep affection for the land.In fact, land is a good investment these days. Li Meier smiled, "The fabrics are not bad. Grandma thinks there are too many fabrics. I'm planning to be a ten-year-old."

Mrs. Li almost exploded when she heard that, her eyes widened, and she covered her heart and said, "You just gnaw my bones and forget it, ten bodies and eight bodies! Life can't be over!"

Li Meier smiled, "Why don't we make a new suit first?"

"We'll do it later in the year." Mrs. Li had plans for a long time ago. She didn't think she was the kind of picky person. These years are getting better and better. For Chinese New Year or something, it's not impossible to make a new dress.

Li Meier smiled, "If grandma doesn't do it, then I will do it twice."

Mrs. Li immediately said, "You are so beautiful, who said I won't do it!"

"Then we are the same." Li Meier settled the matter very neatly, and then turned to Jiang and said, "Mother, you also have a new body, otherwise, people will say that grandma patronizes me to wear a new one." Clothes, I only wear old ones for my daughter-in-law."

Li Meier stepped forward and plugged in a pair of golden golden hairpins to Mrs. Li, and Nanny Lin immediately presented the target mirror.

Mrs. Li looked in the mirror, she couldn't get angry, she laughed and cursed, "Someday I'm free, I'll tear your mouth off."

Jiang Shi also laughed at the side, "I'm going crazy this time."

Mrs. Li looked beautifully in the mirror for a while, and smiled, "Forget it, everyone has a new suit. Anyway, there is nothing to do in winter, and it is good to do needlework."

Jiang smiled, "I don't need to do it. I didn't have time to wear the few outfits I made last year. Just change it."

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with Jiang's sensibleness, yes, as a daughter-in-law, you have to be like this, eat later and work first, let alone eat and dress, you must know how to be frugal, and you are a good hand in life.However, because Li Meier said earlier that she "patently wears new clothes for herself and only wears old ones for her daughter-in-law", Mrs. Li told Jiang very generously, "If I don't do it now, I will give you the materials, and I will make the same one later. "

Mrs. Jiang responded with a smile, and flattered Mrs. Li, "Mother always gives me good materials, I keep them, and save them for Mei Meier in the future."

Mrs. Li took pictures of Mrs. Jiang comfortably, and heard Mrs. Jiang said that she saved the material for her girl to take pictures. Mrs. Li was extremely satisfied with a smile, and praised Mrs. Jiang with comfort in her heart, "This is the family tradition of our family." Sighing, pointing at Li Meier, she said, "I don't know who this dead girl looks like, she spends a lot of money all day long."

Jiang smiled, "She has been with her mother since she was a child, so she is like her mother. Just like my mother always gives me good things when she has money, this girl has money in her hand and she will buy something for the family."

Mrs. Li can only grin when she pours Jiang's ecstasy soup, especially now that Li Meier can make money by herself, Mrs. Li doesn't say anything, but she is very happy in her heart. She has long believed that the girl is as capable as herself .It would be great to be recognized by the girl Pianziniang now.

The grandparents and grandchildren talked about making clothes, and drew up the menu for Chongyang Festival. Li Meier saw that Brother Kang was not on holiday yet, so she asked, "Why is Brother Kang's school not on holiday yet?"
