After eating, the family gathered around to talk, Jiang Lixin had been unhappy with the change in the old lady's attitude towards Jiang Mengliang during the meal, and now she was sitting next to the old lady Jiang, and she was very intimate.

"Daddy, my daughter hasn't come back to see you for a long time, and you look young again!"

Mrs. Jiang was amused by her and laughed, and said, "How can it, my father's hair is gray, just your sweet mouth, you know how to coax us." ”

Old lady Jiang also replied on the side: "Xin'er, go back to your parents' house more often in the future, you haven't been here for a long time." ”

Jiang Mengliang looked at their intimate appearance and was very envious, he had never spoken to his father and mother like this, and at this moment he seemed to be an outsider.

Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Mengliang proudly, and she didn't know what kind of mentality, Jiang Mengliang didn't find it himself, but was just looked at by the attentive Jiang Xiaonian.

But there are no ups and downs in her heart, and she is willing not to say a word to her as vicious as the old woman.

This time, when the old lady saw her, she didn't show anything, probably because she finally accepted the fact that she was not dead, but she didn't look at Jiang Xiaonian from beginning to end, and she didn't know whether she was weak or disdainful.

After Jiang Lixin talked for a while, she mentioned the recent situation at home, and said with a sad face: "In the past year, the business of the family has not been very good, and the Qian family restaurant on Shuangyong Street does not know what kind of wind it has recruited, everyone has run to his house, and the business of our restaurant has been robbed." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mengliang coughed lightly and took a sip of tea with an unnatural expression.

When the old lady heard her say this, she hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, Guihua's restaurant is so big, what are those things, how can they compare to you!" ”

Jiang Lixin pretended to sigh, took out a wrapped red handkerchief from her arms and said: "Dad, mother, our family is not having a good time now, Xin'er is only two years old, and she has been sick again in the past few days. ”

Zhang Guihua on the side bowed his head vigorously and drank tea, his face full of emptiness.

Although the business was not very good this year, the foundation of the Zhang family for so many years is still there, and the days are not much worse.

Jiang Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the red handkerchief handed over by Jiang Lixin, and said, "I'll help my little sister take it first, my sister is polite." ”

Jiang Li thought that Jiang Lixin had a rich family background, and her little sister couldn't be too stingy when she got married, and thought that she had sent something good, so she hurriedly opened the veil and took a look.

Inside lay a pair of gold earrings and two gold bracelets.

The gold earrings are pure gold, but they are very small and have no weight, if you don't look carefully, you can't find them at all, and the two gold bracelets Jiang Li can see at a glance that they are gold-plated, only a thin layer.

Jiang Li didn't expect Jiang Lixin to be so stingy, looking at the outfit on her body, just the golden hairpin inserted in her hair was the thickness of chopsticks, and when she arrived at the little sister to add makeup, she not only cried a little poor, but also only had this bit of rags.

But she is not annoyed, after all, she is not marrying her daughter, and she, who is a sister-in-law, is just helping to take care of it.

Jiang Li put the jewelry wrapped in a red handkerchief on the table of the old lady and the old lady with the heart of watching a good show, and said: "Daddy, this is a makeup gift from my sister, and I will enter the treasury after you take a look." ”

The old lady and the old lady are used to seeing jewelry, I didn't see it clearly just now, now in front of me, real gold or gold plating is clear at a glance, the old lady is not very comfortable in her heart, she treats her eldest daughter well, I didn't expect her to be so stingy, she was reluctant to buy even a decent piece of jewelry for her sister, and couldn't help glaring at Jiang Lixin fiercely.

He is a face-loving person, so naturally he won't say anything, but Mrs. Jiang shouted babblingly: "Lixin, why is it gold-plated?" Have you been deceived by a jewelry store? ”

Jiang Lixin showed an embarrassed expression and said: "Mother, you also know that the business at home is not good, and she doesn't make any money at all, Lihua wants to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and invites several masters, which costs a lot of ......."

She has been telling about the difficulties at home, and she is coquettish with Mrs. Jiang, Zhang Guihua on the side glances at her from time to time, and continues to bow her head and drink tea embarrassedly.

Originally, he planned to give a golden hairpin and a pair of gold bracelets to add makeup, but Jiang Lixin stopped him and refused to let him live or die.

Jiang Xiaonian watched her acting on the side, feeling bored, her eyes were empty, as far as Jiang Lixin's acting skills were concerned, she was spicy.

The legend of Zhen Huan has become her next dinner drama, which ones are sincere and which ones are fake, you can see it at a glance.

Of course, this is a low-rank one, the kind that can't survive more than two episodes in the play, and the high-rank one is good at hiding, and it is difficult for her to distinguish it.

Old Mrs. Jiang is not a stupid person, especially in terms of money, knowing that her eldest daughter is stingy, the expression on her face collapsed.

Seeing this, Jiang Lixin rolled her eyes, looked at Jiang Mengliang with a provocative expression, and said: "Although the one sent by our family is not the best, it is also passable, if you don't believe it, the third brother's family will definitely not be half a point away from our family." ”

Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui were drinking tea while watching the play, and when they heard Jiang Lixin mention them, they couldn't help but sit up straighter.

It's really a good transfer of hatred.

It's just that Jiang Lixin's abacus was wrong, if all she gave were pure gold, they really couldn't compare, but the two bracelets were gold-plated, so they were worthless.

Jiang Mengliang took the basket he brought, opened it and said, "Daddy, the situation of our family is not as good as that of the second sister, you also know that this is our makeup, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Inside is a pair of pillow scarves for mandarin ducks playing in the water, a quilt embroidered with a large piece of peony flowers, as well as a few handkerchiefs and a few sachets, all of which are silk materials, smooth as water to the touch, and the quilt surface of the peony flowers, which is also mixed with gold threads, shines with different lights from different angles.

This silk is a thank you gift from the Tang family, Zhou Huihui didn't even make her own clothes, most of them were put on top of it, and some plans were left to Jiang Xiaonian to make a dowry in the future.

It's just that most of the patterns embroidered on it are embroidered by hibiscus, Zhou Huihui is too busy, and she is tired from working during the day, so she can only teach hibiscus embroidery, she got Zhou Huihui's true biography, and the embroidery is no different from Zhou Huihui.

When Jiang Li saw the satin quilt and silk handkerchief, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, his eyes were shining, and he said, "This is a lot of work, it's lifelike!" ”

The old lady's expression also changed, and for the first time, she had a good face for Jiang Mengliang, and muttered, "Zhou's hands are still skillful." ”

Only Jiang Lixin looked disdainful and sneered: "What is this, just a little satin, how can it compare to my gold jewelry." ”

Jiang Mengliang had long been accustomed to her yin and yang strange tone, and he was not angry, so he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, opened it and put it on the table.
