Chapter 500: Too Many Gifts to Receive



"Xiao Li, these things were handed down from my grandmother's ancestors. I originally wanted to give them to your mother-in-law after a hundred years."

"Your mother-in-law has had a hard time these years. She has to work, take care of the children, and find time to take care of me, an old lady."

"But today I saw your mother-in-law's attitude towards you, and I know that she completely approves of you. Instead of giving these things to her, passing them through her hands and then giving them to you, it would be better for me to do it."

"I rarely wear these bracelets, and I don't know what you like. Just pick five of them at random. Take whatever you like."

Grandma opened the lid of the jewelry box and carefully placed the exquisite jade pieces in front of Jiang Li.

Grandma warmly invited her to take whatever she wanted from these things.

Jiang Li took a few casual glances and found that these things were all good things.

It is said that gold has a price but jade is priceless. The jade pieces that grandma brought were all ice and glass varieties or above.

These jade pieces are crystal clear and sparkle under the light.

Jiang Li was deeply intoxicated after just one look. She thought each one was beautiful, but when she heard that they were her grandmother's heirlooms, she felt embarrassed to take them.

Grandma took a high-quality ice jade bracelet and put it on her hand.

Before Jiang Li could react, a bracelet appeared on his wrist.

The bracelet fit her hand perfectly and she couldn't take it off anymore.

Moreover, the jade is crystal clear without any impurities, which is really beautiful.

Grandma thought the jade beads were beautiful, so she gave her another string to hang around her neck.

Then there are various jade plaques and pendants, as well as jade hairpins and waist plaques.

It turned out that they told her to choose any 5 pieces, but she ended up hanging more than a dozen pieces on her head and body.

Jiang Li was speechless, but seeing the old man being so eager, he felt embarrassed to refuse.

Moreover, those two jade hairpins were really beautiful. Not only were the jades crystal clear, but the styles were also simple and elegant. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she found that they were truly beautiful.

"This one looks good, this one looks good too, that one looks good, that one looks good too."

Grandma kept dressing her up. Jiang Li had her hair tied up today, and with the jade hairpin she looked even more elegant.

Grandma stared at Jiang Li again and again, and finally waved her hand with great satisfaction.

"These all look great on you. Okay, I'll give them all to you. Grandma wishes you a happy wedding in advance."

Grandma put away the small box and looked at Jiang Li with a smile.

The smile on her face was very kind, and Jiang Li felt warm in his heart when he saw it.

It is said that many elderly people are unruly and difficult to deal with, and very hard to serve.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changan's grandmother was a surprise. Not only was she outgoing and likable, but she was also very protective of her children.

Because of Shen Changan's love for her, grandma also loved her and was particularly friendly to her when they first met.

Now that I heard they were getting married, I kept taking out heirlooms from their ancestors and giving them as gifts, as if they were free.

Jiang Li came over today, and Shen Changan's family gave her a big red envelope.

The red envelopes are only this big, and the money you can earn from them is also limited, but the things they give are priceless.

When Jiang Li came, she brought a lot of unique pastries she made herself, and also bought a lot of things for her future parents-in-law.

These things may seem like big packages, but their total value is actually not that much.

Thinking that these were gifts from her grandmother and future mother-in-law, they were so many and so expensive that she couldn't afford them.

When Jiang Li returned, he was carrying two jewelry boxes made of sandalwood.

The boxes are carved with delicate patterns, which makes them valuable in themselves. Combined with the precious jewelry inside, these two boxes are truly priceless.

If Jiang Li didn't have space to store items, with so many valuable things at home, he really would have to prepare a safe to put them all.

Shen Changan drove the car and took Jiang Li and Li Xiaoxiu back together.

I had agreed with Li Xiaoxiu last time that when Jiang Li brought the children home this time, she would go with him to take care of Jiang Li and the two children.

Because the workload has increased, the salary will also increase.

Li Xiaoxiu naturally agreed to such a good job.

Today she also took time out to spend time with the two children. Although they were a little shy at first, they were very well-behaved children.

As long as they have food and drink, they sleep when they should sleep and play when they should play. Normally, the two brothers will fight with each other, but they will not fight too much.

Li Xiaoxiu suddenly felt it was amazing. Is a child’s family education really that important?

Such young children already know the limits. Who taught them?

Could she be the future hostess? She's so pretty, and so young, she doesn't look like someone who would be able to take care of a child.

Li Xiaoxiu muttered to herself, but Jiang Li was very beautiful, and she also liked looking at beautiful girls, so she had a natural liking for her.

Li Xiaoxiu kept secretly looking at Jiang Li while in the car.

Such a beautiful girl is a pleasure to look at.

Li Xiaoxiu held Nao Nao in her arms. The child's nickname was Nao Nao, and he was actually very quiet.

He sat in the car without crying or making a fuss, his big eyes rolling around everywhere. It was obvious that he was a smart little guy.

The little guy's body was soft and fragrant. Li Xiaoxiu lowered her head and sniffed him gently. He had a pleasant milky scent.

The car drove into the yard and stopped. Li Xiaoxiu got out holding the child.

It was her first time to visit Shen Changan’s house, and she found that both the decoration and layout here were much better than her wife’s house.

She was placed in a room on the first floor, right next to Yuying's room.

Grandma hasn't been back to her home for a long time. Plus, her grandson is getting married, and as a grandmother, she has a lot of things to prepare personally, so she won't be back to live for the time being.

During the National Day holidays, Jiang Yi's school was closed, and he spent every day either studying or taking care of his children.

Although fourteen or fifteen years old is the most youthful and lively, Jiang Yi has managed to change his personality into that of a retired cadre.

Starting from the second day after Jiang Li returned home, people came to his door one after another to ask for his portrait.

Jiang Li usually lets them sit under the grape trellis in the yard, which provides shade and is also very romantic.

Jiang Li usually asked Li Xiaoxiu to make a pot of tea and let them drink the tea while stating their requests.

Before painting the portrait, Jiang Li would ask them to keep the same posture for a few minutes. After she had carefully looked at the portrait and completely memorized it in her mind, she could then start painting.

Jiang Li draws portraits very quickly, and the portraits he draws are very lifelike.

No matter what strange requests the visitors made, Jiang Li was able to satisfy them one by one.

In just a few days, the reputation of Jiang Li's portraits became better and better, and more and more people came to her for portraits.
