Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 430 Buy birthday gifts!
The next day, when Li Yi woke up from a hangover, it was already past ten o'clock!

Last night, Li Yi brought his two brothers-in-law, Yang Wenguang and Long Zhanjun, back to the courtyard, prepared a few side dishes, and got a few bottles of Maotai, and the three of them drank it.

Li Yi didn't drink well, so he drank sensibly and did not drink heavily with his two brothers-in-law.

But even so, Li Yi still drank to pieces.

Shaking his dizzy and swollen head, Li Yi climbed up from the kang, got dressed and went to the living room.

Jiang Xue was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw Li Yi coming out, she immediately put the book aside and said, "There is porridge in the pot, let me serve you some!"

"Okay, where are the eldest brother-in-law and Dalong?"

"gone!"

"When did you leave? Why don't you say hello?" Li Yi said.

"They said they had something to do today, so they left at seven o'clock. They wanted to say hello to you, but you were snoring loudly."

Jiang Xue didn't say the following words, but Li Yi also knew what they meant.

He said with a hint of embarrassment: "What? Didn't I drink too much yesterday?"

"With your drinking capacity, don't raise your glass to others easily in the future, especially when you are outside!" Jiang Xue warned.

She is deeply aware of Li Yi's drinking capacity and is also a little worried.

It wouldn't matter if someone followed him, but if no one followed him, he would easily suffer a big loss from the amount of wine he poured in these two glasses.

"understood!"

Soon Jiang Xue came back from the kitchen. In addition to a large bowl of porridge, there was also a brown sugar bakery in her hand.

Li Yi was really hungry, so he took the bowl and ate it hungrily.

After eating, Li Yi suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "By the way, wife, why didn't you see any teacher coming today?"

"Mom said we should balance work with rest, let me take a day off!"

"That's true, how are you doing in your review now? Are you sure you can get into a good school?" Li Yi asked again.

Although Li Yi also knew that with Jiang Shiying, a powerful father, Jiang Xue could go to a prestigious school even if she only scored 200 points.

But Li Yi understands his daughter-in-law. If she has a strong personality, it is best for her to get into a good university by herself.

"It's okay. My mother has found a lot of teachers for me to come to my home these days to make up for my lessons. I feel that my grades have improved very quickly. I can get more than 500 points on the mock test paper!"

Li Yi was slightly surprised. The total score of 710 was more than 500. Although he was not a top student, he was already very good.

You must know that the admission score of Beijing University last year was only 380 points. As long as Jiang Xue can get 400 points, it will be enough to enter a prestigious school like Beijing University.

"That's right, keep up the momentum and don't relax. There are still three months left before the college entrance examination. Just wait until these three months are over!" Li Yi said.

"Well, the teachers all say that I still have the potential to improve. I will try to get good grades when the time comes!"

"I believe you can do it!"

"Ok!"

Suddenly Jiang Xue's voice changed and she said again: "By the way, do you have time today?"

"I don't have anything important to do, what's wrong?"

"Next Monday is my grandpa's eightieth birthday. My eldest uncle and my second uncle wanted to give grandpa a good birthday. I was thinking of buying some birthday gifts for grandpa, but I don't know much about this either, so..."

"Okay, I'll accompany you out!"

"Then let's send Yun Rui and Yun Jin to the old house later, let mother watch over them, and then let's go!" Jiang Xue said.

"Row!"

Soon, the two of them packed up and drove straight to the Jiang family's old house!

After handing over the two children to his mother-in-law, Li Yi took Jiang Xue and went straight to Wangfujing Street!

Wangfujing shopping mall!Jiang Xue looked at the large shopping mall with people coming and going in front of her, with a look of surprise on her face.

Although she has been in the capital for more than four months, she has only gone shopping a handful of times.

It's not because of lack of money, but because of those two brats.

It was inconvenient when you were not born, and it is even more inconvenient after you are born.

So after coming here, she felt that everything was magical.

"What do you think it would be better for us to buy some birthday gifts for grandpa?" Jiang Xue asked as she walked.

"There are a lot of things to buy, just remember there are four things you can't buy!" Li Yi said.

"You can't buy those four things?"

"One is not giving me a clock, the other is not giving me medicine, the third is not giving me a comb, and the fourth is not giving me black and white!"

"Uh what do you mean?"

Li Yi smiled and explained: "There are many taboos about giving birthday gifts to the elderly. The first taboo is giving clocks and watches, because giving bells is homophonic to giving away the end, which is unlucky."

"Second, don't give black clothes or white clothes. It doesn't look festive. The elderly are most taboo about this. If the old man is bald, you can't give him a comb."

"Also, if the elderly are in poor health, be sure not to send medicines, including ginseng, seahorse, deer antler, and other supplements, because the elderly are more taboo!"

Jiang Xue said with a surprised look on her face: "I didn't expect that there would be so much detail in giving a birthday gift. I originally planned to go to the drugstore to buy some ginseng to replenish Qi and blood for grandpa. Fortunately, I brought you with me, otherwise I would definitely make a joke!"

"Haha, it's good if you have such a heart. It's okay to give you some tonics at ordinary times. Try not to give this when you celebrate your birthday!"

"Well, what would be a better gift for us?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "You really confused me. Since it is a birthday gift for the old man, first of all, he must like him. I really don't know what hobbies the old man usually has?"

"Grandpa loves to drink"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Haha, that's not okay. Now the whole family is on guard against the old man drinking. If we give him wine, aren't we going against the wind and committing a crime!"

"It is!"

Jiang Xue frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "I think grandpa likes to think about calligraphy and painting. How about we buy him a calligraphy and painting!"

"Calligraphy and painting?"

He really didn't expect that the old man, a general on horseback, would have such a hobby.

"Well, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings in grandpa's study. If he has nothing to do, he will take them out and look at them. He is very serious. He really likes them as soon as he sees them!" Jiang Xueyao said.

"If this is the case, you can indeed buy a calligraphy and painting for the old man!" Li Yi said.

"Do you know where I can buy calligraphy and paintings?"

"I don't know. Let's ask a local and find out!"

At the moment, Li Yi looked around, and finally settled on an old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit.

Afterwards, Li Yi led Jiang Xue to the old man quickly, and then asked: "Uncle, can I ask you something?"

The old man was kind and said with a smile: "Comrade, what do you want to know?"

"I would like to ask you where the calligraphy and painting is sold!" Li Yi said.

"You want to buy calligraphy and painting? Not many young people like this these days?" the old man asked in surprise.

"It's the elder's birthday in the family, and we plan to buy a calligraphy and painting as a birthday gift!" Li Yi explained.

"Well, it's rare that you have such filial piety. If you really plan to buy calligraphy and paintings, I recommend you to go to the National Museum. There is a foreign guest service department there. The calligraphy and paintings there are all genuine works by famous artists and the prices are not expensive!" said the old man.

National Museum!
Foreign Guest Service Department!
Hearing these two places mentioned by the old man, Li Yi's head "boomed" and he suddenly remembered something!
At that moment, after he thanked the old man, he took Jiang Xue and hurried to the National Museum!
