Started as a poor little girl

Early the next morning, Li Qingping and Li Xiaoyang were busy loading the vegetables onto the donkey cart. After they had put them away, there was not much space left and they could barely fit the four of them.

"Second brother, you guys go first. Tell me the place. Your uncle and I will go to the town to find you later. You have to do your work more. Lulu and the others are waiting for your help! Go quickly!" Li Dashan urged them to hurry up so as not to tire her little granddaughter.

Li Qingping stopped trying to persuade them. He left his address and several people drove a donkey cart into the town.

Put on the bib, thread the skewers, arrange the dishes, put the tables, chairs and benches in place, and open the door.

There was no advantage today. There were not as many people as yesterday, so I had some free time at noon.

The two old men walked in cheerfully, but when they saw the empty shop, they couldn't help but put away their smiles.

"Lulu, what's wrong? Is business bad?" Li Dashan was a little worried.

"Dashan, don't talk nonsense." The director quickly pulled Li Dashan, fearing that he would get angry.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. I just sat down to rest. Don't worry," Li Xiaoguang explained quickly.

"Yes, Dad, don't worry. It's not good for your health. I'll ask Lulu to get some food for you and uncle. It's time for lunch." Li Qingping went to the kitchen quickly.

Two bowls of spicy hot pot were served, and Li Xiaoguang served them two bowls of jelly. Li Dashan felt sorry for the candies and was reluctant to eat them.

Before he had the chance to persuade his grandfather, guests started to arrive one after another. There were so many guests that everyone became busy. The two old people were a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

Li Qingping led the two old people to the room in the backyard to rest. The two old people couldn't sit still and insisted on going to the kitchen to help. There was no way to stop them, so there was nothing to do but let them help.

Yue Xiangmei was too busy washing the dishes by herself, so Li Dashan came to help and managed to finish the job. Li Qingsong helped add firewood to the fire.

After a busy day, it was finally closing time. The two old people were tired, so Li Lulu prepared a table full of food to reward them.

"Mom and Dad, our business is so good that we don't have enough manpower. I want to hire a few people to help. What do you think?" Li Lulu looked distressed.

"I think it's okay. Lulu is not that old. If she keeps going on for such a long time, she will be exhausted. Let's find some help so that the child can have a rest for two days. Look how tired our Lulu is. You as parents don't feel sorry for her, but grandpa does."

Grandpa Li looked at his granddaughter with a loving expression. She was already thin to begin with, and had become even thinner due to being tired and busy these past few days.

"Dashan, don't worry. Your business is so good. That's a good thing. If you don't mind, my two daughters-in-law can come and help. You can decide on the wages."

Li Qingsong hesitated and added, "You know both of them well, so you can use them with confidence."

"Grandpa, are you serious? That's great. We need them. We need them. If possible, bring them here tomorrow. We'll give them 800 wen each a month. There will be a bonus at the end of the month. The bonus will be given to them based on the store's revenue. It may not be the same every month."

Li Lulu was so happy. This great grandfather must be her angel. The original owner had the great grandfather’s family in her memory.

My great-grandfather's family is very nice. His wife, Zhou, is gentle and virtuous. She often secretly gives food to the original owner when she is seen not eating it by my grandmother. Their two sons are both honest. The eldest son's wife is not talkative, and the second son's wife is a bit of a nag, but they are not bad people and are hardworking.

"Grandpa, great grandpa, you are so kind. You care so much about Lulu. Thank you, I love you." After saying this, she made a heart shape with her hands. Although the two old people didn't understand what it meant, they were still very happy.

"There's not much farm work to do in winter now, so it's good to have some work to do. When the busy farming season comes, what are you going to do with the fields, second brother?"

Li Dashan was a genuine farmer, and he was worried about what to do if his second son's land became barren.

"It's okay, Grandpa. I'm here. I'll make arrangements when the time comes." Li Lulu patted her chest to assure him.

There's nothing to be afraid of during the busy farming season. Wouldn't it be better to just hire more people?

After eating, Wei Lingheng was busy using an abacus. Li Lulu didn't know how to use it, but she was curious! She squatted beside Wei Lingheng and learned while helping him. The two brothers also found it interesting. The four of them squatted and watched Wei Lingheng use the abacus.

The adults were chatting about family matters, one after another, having a great time.

Wei Lingheng felt a little uncomfortable. The three of them were staring at him as he calculated the abacus, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the meat delivery man arrived at this time, otherwise Wei Lingheng would not have been able to hold back.

Li Xiaoyang and Li Xiaoguang brought the meat to the kitchen, Li Qingping also came to help, and the family started to get busy again.

Those who are cleaning up the shop are cleaning up the shop, and those who are preparing ingredients in the kitchen are preparing ingredients.

After Li Qingping and the others finished their work, they followed the division of labor from yesterday. Li Lulu, Wei Lingheng and Li Xiaoyang were doing the same thing as yesterday with a sad face.

After washing up in the evening, Wei Lingheng and Li Lulu slept in the same room, which was a big bunk bed. The two of them were quite far apart. Besides, Li Lulu was only ten years old and looked like she was only seven or eight years old. Wei Lingheng treated her as a little sister.

Li Lulu rolled around on the bed as if she had ADHD, jumping up and down. Wei Lingheng had to shrink into the corner.

"Lulu, can't you just lie down quietly?"

Wei Lingheng looked at Li Lulu, feeling a little surprised and distressed. This child was really energetic.

"Okay, Sister Qingqing, I want to increase my business, but I want to take a few days off before doing it. I'm a little tired recently."

After saying that, Li Lulu did a split on the bed and then twisted herself like a pretzel.

Wei Lingheng was speechless and his eyes twitched twice. This was called being tired. She would make such a scene every night when she went to bed. He said he was tired, but no one would believe it. She did this every night. He was not used to it at first, but now he is used to it. Not to mention twisting it into a pretzel, he would not be surprised even if it was twisted into a hemp rope.

"Okay, just tell me when you need help!"

"Okay," Li Lulu responded, and finally lay down in bed and went to sleep obediently.

The next morning, Li Qingping and his group came, and Li Qingsong also came, followed by his eldest son and his two daughters-in-law. When they got to the store, Li Dahong, the eldest son of my great-grandfather, got off the donkey cart to go to work. Li Qingsong then drove the donkey cart to the backyard.

Fortunately, there is space for the donkey cart in the backyard, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to put the two donkeys.

In the backyard, Li Qingping and Li Xiaoguang unloaded the vegetables from the donkey cart. Yue Xiangmei brought two aunts, Zhao Ling and Zheng Xin, into the kitchen to help thread the skewers. More people was better, and the process was much faster than usual, and they finished quickly.

"Aunt Ling and Aunt Xin, come here, I'll teach you how to make hot pot soup."

Li Lulutian is not afraid that others will steal her recipe. No one is likely to make hot pot base in this era. She has already prepared the ingredients, so all she has to do is put them in the pot.

The two sisters-in-law are very skillful, which makes the family feel a lot more relaxed. The two old people sit in the house, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. They are very happy watching the children busy. Being busy is good, and being busy proves everything is good.

Just then a table of guests came, and she demonstrated how to make spicy hot pot. The two aunts learned very quickly. Well... there is no technical skill to speak of, as long as you have hands on it, you can do it.

After the two aunts learned it, Li Lulu began to relax in the afternoon. Seeing that there were many customers outside, she helped to serve meals. Li Qingping asked her to leave it alone but she insisted on helping.

She was a little uncomfortable with being idle for a while, so she went to the front desk to see Wei Lingheng to see how her elder brother was doing with his studies.

"Brother, can you do it if I let you do it alone?" Li Lulu asked casually.

"It should be okay, right?" Li Xiaoyang scratched his head uncertainly.

"Brother Xiaoyang, I believe you can do it. You learn very quickly and now you can do it on your own."

Wei Lingheng's determined eyes made Li Xiaoyang feel very at ease, and his confidence suddenly surged.

"Then big brother, you can do it by yourself this afternoon. If you are too busy, I will let the second brother help you. I believe in you! Come on!"

Li Lulu patted Li Xiaoyang on the shoulder. She was in a very good mood. Her big watery eyes were irresistible. She would take Wei Lingheng shopping later.

After lunch, Li Qingping and Yue Xiangmei asked Li Lulu to have a rest. Li Lulu gave some instructions and then took Wei Lingheng out shopping.

Looking left and right, it seems so lively. It has been a long time since I had such a leisurely walk around.

In order to enjoy the long-lost leisure time, they found a teahouse to drink tea, chat, eat snacks, and enjoy themselves.

Li Qinglang and Zhu Qing noticed that their father and second son's family were not at home these days. This morning, they saw Li Qingsong's family also went to the town. They were a little confused as to what they were doing.

After breakfast, the two of them hurried to the town. After walking around the town, they still couldn't see the second brother's family. Zhu Qing was so angry that she said she was thirsty and wanted to drink some water.

Fortunately, their son married a good wife, and they still had some money, so they went to a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks.

Zhu Qing was drinking tea when she suddenly saw two familiar figures. She patted Li Qinglang, and the two of them shrank back, afraid of being discovered by them. After they left, Zhu Qing asked Li Qinglang to sit here while she went to take a look.

"I'd like to see what the hell you guys are up to. You're always talking nonsense all day long." Zhu Qing muttered softly, slowed down her pace, and followed them quietly.

"Sister Qingqing, after we rest for two days, we should be busy again."

Li Lulu was jumping around in front like a little rabbit. When she saw the man selling candied haws, she went over and bought two strings and gave one to Wei Lingheng.
