Chapter 490 Birthday
After all parties participated in the discussion meeting on cowpox vaccination led by Li Sanniang and held in Xing Yu’s private restaurant, Li Sanniang didn’t know how to respond. .
That day, Li Sanniang came out of Mankouxiang, took Qiuxiang and asked Lao Shi to drive the carriage to the famous gold and silver shop in the West Market.
"Sanniang, do you want to buy jewelry?"
Li Sanniang nodded and explained to Qiuxiang: "Sister-in-law's birthday will be in half a month. In the past year, I have brought Luzhu'er and When I returned home, thanks to my sister-in-law, I took care of the house, and even Luzhuer was taken care of by her.
I want to give my sister-in-law a gold bracelet as a birthday gift. "
When she arrived at the shop, Li Sanniang didn't want the fancy ones. She just said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this kind of cake with no pattern will do, but it must be solid and full-sized. "
Li Sanniang looked at the various hairpins that the female shopkeeper took out, and finally chose a two-ply gold hairpin with a plum blossom style and bought it.
"My lady, keep this receipt. It will take up to ten days to come to the cabinet and pick up the bracelet. "
After leaving the gold and silver shop, Qiuxiang asked: "Sanniang, did you buy this gold hairpin for yourself?
It doesn't seem like it. Doesn't the third wife always dislike the hairpin on her head being too heavy and causing pain to her neck? ”
“I bought it for my sister-in-law. "
"Didn't you already buy a gold bracelet? "
Li Sanniang sat in the carriage and explained to Qiuxiang in a low voice: "How can I give the bracelet to my sister-in-law in person?
If I gave it in person, not only my mother-in-law, but also my second sister-in-law would be embarrassed.
I want to give this bracelet to my sister-in-law alone, and these two gold hairpins are given to my sister-in-law in front of the family.
Only two taels, not too expensive, but not light either, just right. ”
The day before Sister-in-law Li’s birthday, Brother Li went to Wujia Village outside the city to pick up Sister-in-law Li and Xiao Wulang.
In fact, after Sister-in-law Li stayed at her parents’ house, he probably couldn’t Half a month ago, Father Wu and Mother Wu came to Li's house with a lot of things.
At that time, Father Li and Mother Li came out to receive him well, but in the end they just didn't go back. After Shaoli passed by, Brother Li didn't mention anything about picking up Sister-in-law Li to go home.
The turning point of the matter was that after dinner that day, the family was chatting in the main hall. Sister-in-law Li said: "Second brother, it will be my birthday in two days. By then, I want to have a birthday party at home for our family." Let’s just have a meal together.
Look, it’s time for Lan Niang and Kogoro to be brought back, right?”
Brother Li. He would not fail to give Mrs. Li some face, and the second brother Li also saw that the reason why Mrs. Li could use her birthday as an excuse must have been Mother Li who asked Mrs. Li to say so.
Brother Li guessed right. Sister Li could say that because her mother had indeed asked her to say so.
“It’s been a month since this happened. I think Lan Niang must have reflected on it. Even if she still thinks so in her heart, at least she has learned the lesson this time and won’t reveal anything to the public anymore.
That's enough.
You are all married, and naturally you all have your own thoughts. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you can maintain a superficial harmony, I and you Aye do not criticize this harshly.
That’s fine if this company can have some surface stability.
Furthermore, I saw that although the mistress pretended not to care, she was already worried.
For the sake of the child, it’s time to take Lan Niang home.
You should mention it to Erlang (Second Brother Li) when the time comes, and he will probably not fail to give you face. ”
So, the day before Sister-in-law Li’s birthday, Brother Li went to the Wu family to pick up Sister-in-law Li and Xiao Wulang.
At that time, everyone in the Wu family was very grateful. In his eyes, Brother Li took Sister Li back to Li's house. Sister-in-law Li shed tears on the carriage back to Li's house.
Not only did she shed tears, Sister-in-law Li also spoke nicely to Brother Li. He understood his own inner journey and analyzed himself, as if he had reflected deeply enough.
However, Brother Li was somewhat immune to Sister-in-law Li’s tears and did not say anything more in person. , just said: "It would be great if you really want to understand.
If this continues, Lan Niang, we really won't be able to be husband and wife. ”
Because family members still need to go to school or be on duty during the day, the Li family’s hospital must also be open normally, and people from the girls’ support club next door must also be present.
So, Sister-in-law Li’s birthday party was arranged at a time when everyone in the Li family could have dinner together.
She didn’t know that Li Sanniang was not at home during the day. The Jiang family is here.
The Jiang family's uncle brought a lot of things to the Li family. The Wu family is very economical, so the Jiang family's uncle directly carried a packed whole sheep. Come. According to the eldest brother of the Jiang family, "The meat is beneficial when you eat it in your stomach. I think my eldest sister is raising it well at home, so that's good."
Hurry up and eat this sheep, it’s tender. ”
Because they are Mrs. Li’s natal family, Li’s father and brother Li specially invited someone to have a meal in the restaurant.
Of course, the Li family is at home. Everyone else also went together.
“It’s good, it’s good.
Hello, eldest sister, my eldest brother-in-law is on duty, I know.
Dalang followed him to the Western Regions, and Erlang also had a promising future. He passed the official examination himself, and everything was fine. "
The eldest brother-in-law of the Jiang family drank wine and was very happy when he held the hand of the second brother Li. He tossed and turned to know the agreement.
In the end, it was the second brother Li who looked at the son of the Jiang family. After carrying the Jiang family's eldest uncle on his back to the carriage, Brother Li felt relieved when he saw that he was safely gone.
The dinner that was originally scheduled was for the whole family to eat at home. Was it Mrs. Li? Understanding what Li’s mother meant about going out to eat, Sister-in-law Li said this: “Mom, there’s no need to go out to eat.
Our family prepares a few dishes at home, and then orders two dishes from outside.
If you are eating out and drinking, where is the cheapest place to eat at home? "
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li really thought so, Mother Li agreed to what Sister-in-law Li said.
"Then don't do anything. I'll give you a bowl of soup cakes later, mother-in-law." For you to eat. ”
In the evening, Li Sanniang, who returned home with two roast geese, a pot of peach blossom stuffing and four snacks, met Brother Li and Li Erlang at the door, who were also carrying things in their left and right hands. .
So, in the end, except for two dishes of seasonal vegetables that were homemade, the rest of the dishes on this table were bought from outside.
Mother Li specially gave Mrs. Li a bowl of soup cakes and two chickens.
“Today I have the biggest birthday. After eating this bowl, I will be the most beautiful for a long time.”
The lantern hanging in the main hall shines on Sister Li’s face. Looking at the Li family and the bowl of soup cakes specially made for her by Mother Li in front of her, her heart felt warm.
“Hey, listen to grandma, I will eat the whole bowl.”
Halfway through the meal, Li Sanniang took out the wooden box of the 2-taels of plum blossom and gold hairpins she bought, and handed it to Sister-in-law Li with both hands, but she did glance at Mother Li first, and then said to Sister-in-law Li with a smile. : "Don't be jealous, Mom. This time I bought it for my sister-in-law's birthday gift first. When it's her birthday, I will definitely buy it for her as well."
After saying that, he motioned to Sister-in-law Li to open it and take a look. Look, Mrs. Li guessed it was a hairpin just by looking at the style of the box.
But once it was opened, under the light, the more dazzling golden color really surprised Sister-in-law Li.
“Sanniang, this is too valuable.”
Li Sanniang picked up the gold hairpin in the wooden box and said, “Sister-in-law, what’s so valuable about this? It’s just a hairpin. Just a hairpin.
Come, let me give my sister-in-law a hairpin. "
Carefully adjusting the angle, Li Sanniang looked at the golden hairpin in Sister-in-law Li's hair and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are still as beautiful as when you married your eldest brother. ”
At this time, everyone was looking at the golden hairpin in Sister-in-law Li’s hair, and Second Sister-in-law Li was no exception.
Second Sister-in-law Li returned to Li’s house, and she spent this month reflecting on it.< br>
But what she reflects on is not that there is something wrong with her jealousy, but that she should not reveal her true inner thoughts;
Reflecting on how she wants Kogoro to take advantage of Li Sanniang’s huge wealth, she should do so subtly and not directly;
Reflecting on the fact that Brother Li is, after all, a blood-related brother and sister to Li Sanniang, and she herself is the one who An outsider of the Li family.
From now on, she can’t tell Brother Li everything. The person closest to her in the Li family is probably Kogoro in her arms, and only Kogoro.
Li Sanlang and Li Silang were taught by the second brother Li to only care about members of the Li family. Only Kogoro was still close to his mother-in-law when he was young.
So, Sister-in-law Li was not jealous at all at this time, but looked like she was sincerely blessing others.
The summary is that Sister-in-law Li has been upgraded.
I feel like my prescription has gone up again, because I can no longer see clearly the faces of people five meters away even when I wear glasses. . . .
