Chapter 68 Preparing a Birthday Gift for Zhang
"Take the things you bought back and feed them to your children and elderly."
When they heard this, Yuansheng and his wife's expressions changed, and a hint of despair appeared on their faces.
"you……"
"Starting tomorrow, I won't bring steamed buns here anymore. As long as you don't cause trouble to our family in the future, we'll keep to ourselves." Li Mingxia's words undoubtedly saved the original mother-in-law from a desperate situation. Without wiping the tears from her face, she kept taking the lead and kept asking Li Mingxia to accept the things.
Finally, there was really no other way, so Li Mingxia picked out a bag of sugar and accepted it. Only then did Mrs. Yuan breathe a sigh of relief and took Yuan Sheng away happily.
"We got out early today, why don't we go for a walk in the town?" Li Mingxia asked for the opinions of several people. In fact, he mainly wanted to ask Aunt Cheng, as he was a little worried that she would be in a hurry to go home.
"That's just right. I was thinking of buying some meat to bring back for our family to enjoy as a treat. It's been a long time since we last had any greasy food." Aunt Cheng said happily.
Tomorrow is Zhang's birthday. Zhang thought her children had forgotten it, so she didn't mention it.
However, Li Mingxia has decided not to come to the stall tomorrow. The family will celebrate Zhang's birthday at home!
While Zhang was taking Li Mingdong to buy the osmanthus candy she wanted, Li Mingxia told Aunt Cheng about this.
"So, Auntie, take a good rest tomorrow, and we will go to the pier at the same time the day after tomorrow."
Aunt Cheng exclaimed when she heard this, "That's right. In previous years, your mother would come to my house secretly to eat a bowl of noodles on her birthday. This year, I was too busy and your family had an easier time. I actually forgot about it. Thank goodness you remembered it."
Li Mingxia had so many things to buy that after talking to Aunt Cheng for a few words, he hurried off to get busy.
She first went to the pork stall and paid for the pork. Although she didn't plan to open the stall tomorrow, she still planned to buy some meat to take back. She planned to make some braised food and bacon and ask someone to send them to her grandparents.
"Miss Li, this is the milk you asked me to ask for. I got it for you. See if it works." The butcher now regards Li Mingxia as a big customer. Ever since Li Mingxia asked him for help with this matter a few days ago, he has taken it to heart and treated it as a very important matter.
He brought out a wooden barrel which was half full of milk and covered with a thick layer of milk skin.
Li Mingxia nodded in surprise, "Yes, that's it. Thank you very much, Uncle Zhu. I'll pay you how much you paid for it."
Butcher Zhu waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not worth much. Miss Li is really slapping me in the face for saying that!"
Li Mingxia did not insist and told him that he would not be coming to the dock tomorrow so there was no need to keep the meat. Then he went to buy some beef and vegetables from another stall.
After buying a lot of miscellaneous ingredients, the next step is to choose a gift for Zhang.
Li Mingxia found an excuse to send Aunt Zhang Cheng and the three little kids to the grocery store, and she also went to the largest garment store in town.
She didn't plan to buy cloth, she planned to buy a set of ready-made clothes for Zhang.
After walking around for a while, she saw a light blue satin dress that she liked. She reached out and touched the fabric. It was smooth and delicate, and it must be of good quality, not inferior. The dress was embroidered with delicate flowers, especially the petals floating on the cuffs and neckline, which were lifelike, and were embroidered with extremely bright pink silk thread, which was eye-catching.
"Miss, you have really good taste. This set of silk dress was brought back from the capital by our shopkeeper. Now this is the only set left. If it fits your figure, don't miss it!" The shop assistant was very discerning. He knew at a glance that Li Mingxia had taken a fancy to this dress and spared no effort to introduce it to her.
Li Mingxia nodded. This set of clothes should be just right for Zhang. The color, style, and fabric also caught Li Mingxia's eye. She planned to buy it.
"This set of clothes costs three taels of silver. It's a bit expensive, but girl, there's a reason why it's expensive, right?"
Li Mingxia was not surprised by the price. Silk was expensive to begin with, and this was not considered top quality, otherwise it would definitely not cost only three taels of silver.
Since there was a huge scroll with the words "No Bargaining" hanging on the wall of this clothing store, Li Mingxia did not hesitate. He paid the money and asked the waiter to pack the clothes before heading to the next destination.
She planned to pick out another hairpin for Zhang. Zhang had been using a copper hairpin to tie her hair up these days. Apart from that, she only had a few wooden hairpins. She didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry.
Thinking of how much his grandparents loved Zhang, Li Mingxia didn't believe that Zhang's dowry would be so shabby. She might have been emptied of it by some means used by Old Lady Zheng and her people.
Li Mingxia was not stingy with money and specially found a famous jewelry store in the town to choose this gift for Zhang.
"Girl, do you want gold or silver? Here are some gold-plated ones. Take a look at which one you like."
A wide variety of jewelry is neatly displayed on the counter, and the various patterns and materials are dazzling to look at.
Li Mingxia did not plan to buy silver or gold-plated ones. This was the first hairpin she bought for Zhang, so naturally she had to buy one made of pure gold.
She looked for a long time and finally set her eyes on a gold hairpin with a peony carved on the head. Overall, the hairpin was not heavy, with a thin body and a small peony flower, but it was exquisite and did not look petty.
"How much is this hairpin?"
The waiter took a look and said, "Twelve taels of silver. This is pure gold, which is a bit expensive. If you like peonies, take a look at this. There are also gold-plated ones here, which are also very beautiful."
It's not that he looked down on Li Mingxia, but he knew at a glance that Li Mingxia was still an unmarried girl. She had no maid's clothes and her clothes were just barely passable. She didn't look like someone who could afford to buy pure gold jewelry.
The price of twelve taels of silver was within Li Mingxia's budget, plus she had also estimated the weight. According to the calculation of one tael of gold to ten taels of silver, the price of this hairpin was already very generous.
Li Mingxia also picked out a pair of gold earrings, a pair of small magpies, and spent another three taels of silver, a total of fifteen taels of silver. The clerk put it in a beautiful brocade box and handed it to Li Mingxia, and then sent it to her door.
"Miss, if you need anything, just come back. We have the most diverse jewelry in town!"
Li Mingxia packed all the clothes and put them back into the space. She planned to give Zhang a surprise tomorrow!
Back at the grocery store, Zhang was still accompanying Aunt Cheng in picking out dishes and chopsticks. The two of them were very careful and took a long time to select. Li Mingxia did not rush them and just waited with the three little kids.
