Chapter 457
"Who says it's not." Jiang also complained, and explained, "I heard from your father that the little thief dressed like a dog, I don't know which family's rich young master he thought it was, who knows That would be a thief."

"So, one should not be judged by one's appearance, little uncle, is he not injured?" Li Meier sighed again, and asked about Jiang Youzhi's situation with concern.

"That's not true. You know that your little uncle still has some fists and kicks. It's no problem to deal with such a small thief. It's just that his mood is disturbed. It's a bad thing under such a big deal." Jiang replied.

Li Meier felt relieved when she heard that she was fine, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will make some delicious food for my little uncle, and he will definitely feel better soon."

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go back to your room to rest earlier, after the Lantern Festival, you will be in Chunwei soon, Shanqing has to calm down and work hard." Jiang was afraid that the two of them would be too ambitious these days , hurriedly exhorted again.

"Don't worry, aunt, I'll save it." Jiang Shanqing promised immediately.

Li Meier blinked with him, and then reluctantly went back to her room to rest.

Early the next morning, when the family was having breakfast, Mrs. Li also talked about the catching of the thief last night. The son's purse screamed aloud, which scared the thief."

Brother Kang was also very proud, and raised his chin and said, "Grandma, don't you always teach us to stand up bravely when we see injustice. I just did what I should do."

Seeing his proud appearance, Li Meier couldn't help laughing aside: "Those who don't know think you caught the thief yourself."

Brother Kang was a little unconvinced, pouted and said: "If I were ten years older, I would definitely go to battle to catch the thief myself like my little uncle."

"My eldest grandson is courageous, but if you encounter thieves or something in the future, you'd better stay away and report to the police directly. I don't know if those people have knives and scissors hidden on them. The most important thing is to ensure that you It’s safe.” Mrs. Li was afraid that her precious grandson would really go to justice in the future, so she hurriedly told him.

Li Mei'er held back her laughter when she heard this, and couldn't help but said: "Grandmother, if this is true, report it to the police first, the culprit should have gone away."

Mrs. Li glared at Li Mei'er, "If you have the heart, you will succeed. You really go up there and work hard. Then we pay so much taxes to the court to support those officials, is it for nothing?"

"All right, all right, eat well, and don't keep arguing with your grandmother." Seeing that Li Mei'er was out of fun, Jiang hurriedly stopped her possible long-winded speech.

Li Meier had no choice but to hold back, thinking that the relationship between her mother and grandmother was getting better and better now, and she almost lost the joy of bickering with her grandmother.

After the Lantern Festival, there is still half a month until Chunwei, and the Li family is busy preparing for various matters related to Chunwei.

Eating is naturally the first item.For example, the dried ones include lotus root starch, eight-treasure fried noodles, rice cakes, and cooking cakes. These can be eaten boiled or heated. The dishes include chopped pickles, diced sauced meat, and dried vegetables from Li Jiasun. It can be eaten by boiling with water.

All of these were taken care of by Li Mei'er, so everything was prepared properly.The rest of Jiang Yanzhi also had experience, and they all helped prepare together.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the day.

On the day of the end, we have to queue up in the early morning.Both families got up early in the morning, and Zhou Muyi also came here specially to take the exam.

When he came over, he saw the Li family members all dressed in red, Zhou Muyi was a little confused, and said, "Why are you all wearing red today?"

Brother Kang replied first, "Auspicious! Last time my father and brother Shanqing took the exam and we wore it like this! Both my father and brother Shanqing's trousers are red. Grandma said to ward off evil spirits!"

Mrs. Li said in a very experienced way, "That's right! There are so many people who take the merit test every year, but only one out of ten wins. So many people don't win, and it is easy to accumulate resentment in the Gongyuan. Therefore, wear red and avoid it. Resentment! Luck is also prosperous!"

Zhou Muyi took a look, and sure enough, all the masters who were about to take the exam were all red.

Li Meier also got up very early today, and she wanted to get up early to make porridge.When the porridge is ready, other steamed buns and various side dishes and snacks are also set up.

Mrs. Li's face was very serious, she was red all over, she was sitting in the dining room, and she said to a few candidates, "My girl, her father and her uncle have not passed the exam for several years. Last year, our family was sent for the exam, and our girl had a hard time in the morning." And the first porridge! His little uncle and Shan Qing drank two bowls of porridge before the exam. Ho! Two times, one for Jieyuan and one for eighteenth place! Talk about it! It’s not all thanks to Jidi Congee! Come on! Haosheng eats two more bowls, this time I’m sure I’ll win!"

Li Meier almost laughed when she heard it, but obviously, these candidates who are about to go to the venue need the encouragement of these words very much. They really eat two bowls each, and then, when they are full, they carry the test box and bedding, and carry Grab the Gong barrel and rush to the Gongyuan!
In fact, Mrs. Li really wanted to go to the state capital to take the exam like last year, but in the end, there were too many people and there were not enough carriages, so she had to give up.

After all the instructions were given, the children were sent to the gate and put into the carriage. It was not until the carriage drove out of the alley that Mrs. Li took the whole family back to the house.

Zhou Muyi was very good at comforting people, and said, "Old lady, don't worry, I went to the temple to ask for a lottery a few days ago, and it was for Uncle Yan, Shanqing and Brother Youzhi, it's a lottery!"

Mrs. Li was very energetic when she heard this, and asked quickly, "What did you say about the sign?"

Zhou Muyi said, "Yes, once the dragon sings, the clouds will rise, soaring straight up into the sky, seeing peace soon, for civil and military, monarch and minister. The endorsement at the back is, Pingping Qingyun. Isn't it a good sign."

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, she clapped her hands and laughed, "It's signed!" She left Zhou Muyi to drink porridge at home.

Zhou Muyi was not too polite. He tasted Li's Jidi porridge, praised Li Meier's cooking skills, and said with a smile, "Sister Meier was very good at cooking when she was young. I haven't seen her for several years, and her cooking skills have improved. This Although the porridge is meaty, it doesn't have a trace of meaty smell, it's just fragrant and palatable, and it's not greasy."

Mrs. Li's vanity immediately came up, and she said hypocritically and modestly, "Young girl's film, that's the only way to do it. However, no one who has eaten this porridge can say it's not good."

Li Meier rolled her eyes when she heard that, Zhou Muyi almost burst out laughing.

Mrs. Li also said, "Don't laugh now, when you, Uncle Yan and Shan Qing are in the middle, there will be plenty of time to laugh."

Brother Jian immediately said, "Medium!"

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, and praised Brother Jian, "My good grandson said it well! A child with sharp eyes and a soul is not bad!"
