Started as a poor little girl

"Okay, let's go take a bath with your brothers and sisters!"

It is not difficult to hear from the child's words that the little deer should be referring to the owner of Xiaolu Malatang. This little girl is really nice, kind-hearted and a good child.

A group of children, clean and tidy, came to Shopkeeper Tian, ​​and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Good children, it's so nice to be clean now! But the deer can only help you for a while, what are you going to do in the future?" Tian Fengnian was worried about these children.

"It's okay, uncle. We will start working at Xiaolu Malatang tomorrow. We will have a place to live and we won't be hungry anymore." Erxiao couldn't hide his happiness.

"Okay, then go ahead, good kids, get busy!"

Tian Fengnian asked them to leave without even asking for their money, and the guys standing by were getting anxious.

When Ah Da saw that the shopkeeper didn't even want his money and gave them clothes and hot water for them to take a bath, he asked his brothers and sisters to go out and wait for him at the door.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

He bowed deeply, and while Tian Fengnian was still not able to react, he stuffed two taels of silver into his hand. He was afraid that he would not accept it and would run away with his brothers and sisters.

Li Lulu and the others were busy in the backyard at the moment! They divided the work and cooperated. Wei Lingheng chopped the stuffing and fried the meatballs, Li Lulu fried potatoes and made jelly, Li Xiaoyang cut the pork belly and tenderloin, and Li Xiaoguang pickled it.

Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...

"It should be A-Da and the others. I'll go open the door. You guys are busy!"

Li Lulu wiped her hands on her bib, walked quickly to the hall and opened the door.

"Hello, sister." Several little kids greeted Li Lulu.

Li Lulu looked at them, all of which were cleaned up neatly. If you look closely, these little radish heads are quite cute.

"Be good, brothers and sisters. I'll give you some candy later. Come in first. It's cold outside."

Li Lulu led a few people to the second floor. There was a storage room on the second floor before, which was a small suite. It was not very big, and because it was in the corner, Li Lulu had left it empty, thinking that it would be useful later. Now it really has a use.

Li Lulu pushed open the door of the room. They had cleaned it before, and Li Qingping and his friends had rested here for a few nights before opening the store.

"This is where you will live from now on, I think! The room for girls is better, it has bedding and everything, you can clean up by yourselves, if you need hot water for washing, you can go downstairs to boil water, it's a little inconvenient, you just have to make do with it."

Li Lulu introduced the place to them in detail and they listened attentively. Although they were all large bunk beds, this place was much better than the dilapidated temple.

"Thank you, thank you" Ah Da was so moved that he almost cried.

Food and accommodation were provided, and they were allowed to bring their younger brothers and sisters to live with them. The accommodation conditions were like heaven to them. The room was equipped with quilts, braziers, and wardrobes.

"Thank you, thank you so much"

Si Ya was so moved that she burst into tears. She thought that when Li Lulu said that everyone could squeeze into one room, it would just be one room, but who knew there were two rooms, and they were separated by men and women.

Li Lulu didn't have time to accompany them in their sadness. She had to get busy and had a lot of work to do. Once she taught A Da, they wouldn't be so busy anymore.

"Then you guys clean up, I still have a lot of things to do, you guys should rest early today so you can get up early to work tomorrow."

After saying that, Li Lulu went downstairs to continue her work.

In Datan Village, Li Dahong and his companions arrived at the village before dark. A few aunts were standing at the entrance of the village chatting. When they saw Zheng Xin and Zhao Ling coming back, they insisted on pulling them over to chat with them.

"Xiao Zheng! I heard from your parents-in-law that you went to work in town?"

Aunt Zhang asked curiously. All the aunts in the village are like this, they like to gossip. In modern society, they are affectionately called the village intelligence station.

"Yeah! Just enough money to support the family, not much." Zheng Xin thought that wealth should not be shown off, so she just said something ambiguous.

"Yes! Her Aunt Zhang, how much money does Li Qingping's family have? Their shabby house is probably worth only a hundred copper coins, hahahaha..."

Aunt Qian wanted to put down Li Qingping's family. She looked down on them. Li Qingping's family was the poorest in the village.

Zheng Xin was unhappy after hearing this and raised her voice, "Sister Qian, what are you talking about? What did Li Qingping's family do to you? They pay you a lot of money, but you look down on them and they don't want you to work there. You are just a frog in a well. Go take a look at their store when you have time, bah!"

Zhao Ling was afraid that her sister-in-law would start a quarrel with them, so she quickly pulled her back home.

"Just watch it, whoever doesn't watch it is a grandson, I'm going to watch their family's joke, oh! Sister Qing, where did you come back from? You have so many bags."

Just when I was about to scold Zheng Xin a few more times, I saw Zhu Qing coming over. She had just got off the ox cart and was carrying a lot of bags.

"Nothing, I just went to see my son. They are planning to move to the county now. It's not filial piety to me. They let me go to town to play for a few days."

Zhu Qing was very unhappy when she saw her second son's family opened a store, so she went to her son's place in town to relax. As soon as she came back, she met these gossipy women at the entrance of the village. She didn't want to chat with them at all.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu looked envious: "Oh! This son is so filial! We are so envious"

"Yes, sister Qing, do you know that your husband's second family has opened a shop? I heard that the business is very good. The two daughters-in-law of the main family are working there? I heard that the wages are very high?"

Aunt Qian's tone was suggestive. She really wanted to see Zhu Qing quarreling with Li Qingping at his house.

"I don't know. I'm going back. You guys chat." After saying that, Zhu Qing was about to leave.

Aunt Qian held her back and said, "If you don't know, let's go to town together tomorrow to check it out. I'll come find you tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Qing said nothing and hurried home.

When Li Lulu got up in the morning, the sausage beside the bed was gone again. Li Lulu slowly tidied herself and walked into the kitchen.

Li Lulu thought: Huh? Is it because I opened it the wrong way? Or am I too excited?

"Good morning, Sister Xiaolu, get up!" A little kid came over and greeted her.

"Okay, good morning, little sister." Li Lulu rubbed the little hair on the little girl's head.

The little girl is soft and cute, with big grape eyes, long eyelashes and a small nose. She is just too thin due to long-term malnutrition.

"Morning, Boss Xiaolu." Ah Da scratched his head uncomfortably, looking a little embarrassed.

A Da and the others got up early and finished all the morning work. These little kids also helped, so it was done so quickly.

"Have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat together." Li Lulu touched her belly which was growling with hunger.

"Come on, kids, the noodles are ready, help yourselves, and the older ones can help you, the smaller ones."

Yue Xiangmei invited the children to come over and eat noodles.

Each person had a bowl of noodles and a spoonful of stewed meat, which was so delicious.

After finishing the noodles, Li Lulu burped and asked, "What are your names?"

The little carrot heads introduced themselves one by one:

Ada started the conversation. “My name is Ada, I’m sixteen years old.”

"My name is Erxiao, and I'm fifteen years old."

"My name is Mikasa, I'm fifteen."

"My name is Si Ya, and I'm fourteen years old."

"My name is Xiaowu, and I'm twelve years old."

"My name is Xiaoliu, and I'm nine years old."

"My name is Qiya, and I'm eight years old."

"Xiaoba, seven years old."

"My name is Jiuya, and I'm six years old."

"Sister, my name is Xiao Shi, and I’m five years old." Xiao Shi rushed to Li Lulu and hugged her waist.

"Okay, be good, little good boy." Li Lulu walked to the front desk and took out a bag of candy from the drawer and gave it to these little rascals.

"Be good, don't run around when the guests come. It's bad if you bump into them or fall down."

Li Lulu gave these little brats some instructions.

The little carrot heads nodded, "Okay sister, we will be good."

Li Xiaoyang opened the shop door, Li Xiaoguang cleaned the table, and A Da also joined in.

"Ada, Erxiao, Mikasa, you will be waiters outside today. You will be able to run after following my dad a few times."

"Si Ya, go to the kitchen and wash the dishes today. Thank you for your hard work. It may be very busy."

Li Lulu was arranging everyone's work, and a crisp voice rang out.

"Sister Xiaolu, if you are too busy, Xiaoliu can help you."

"Yeah, yeah, Xiaowu can help too."

"We can all help. We will be careful and won't break the bowl."

The little kids expressed their ideas one by one, with smiles on their faces.

The first wave of customers had arrived, and A Da and his friends started to get busy. Then the second wave of customers came, and everyone in the store was busy as hell.

In Datan Village, Aunt Qian got up in the morning, had breakfast, and then went to call Aunt Wu, Aunt Zhang, and Zhu Qing to go to the town to play and take a look at Li Qingping's store.
