Started as a poor little girl

The village is filled with smoke from cooking fires, and the New Year atmosphere is already setting!

Li Lulu felt that eating cured meat was the only way to create the festive atmosphere during the New Year. She took Wei Lingheng and sneaked into her room. She asked Wei Lingheng to keep watch while she went straight to the fresh food area in the Space Supermarket.

I chose a cured pig's trotter, a piece of bacon, and a long string of cured sausages, then left the space satisfied.

Wei Lingheng helped Li Lulu carry the cured pig's trotters and bacon, and the two of them went downstairs.

"Wow! Sister, you actually hid bacon in the house. Humph! You didn't even tell your brother. Are you afraid that he will eat it?" Li Xiaoguang looked angry, with his arms around his chest and his nose looking up.

Li Xiaoyang came over and slapped him in the face, then took the bacon and cured pig's trotter from Wei Lingheng's hand.

Li Xiaoguang quickly took the long string of sausages from Li Lulu's hand.

He challenged Li Xiaoyang with a smug look on his face, feeling extremely happy: Hey, hey! This most delicious sausage is mine, look, brother, try to snatch it from me.

When they got to the kitchen, the two of them washed the cured meat with hot water, chopped it up and brought it to Li Lulu.

Wei Lingheng was sitting by the fire pit, making a fire. There was a pot hanging there. Yue Xiangmei had stewed two old hens in it and put some dried mushrooms in it. It was Li Lulu who asked her to throw them in. She didn't know what they were, but they smelled delicious anyway.

Li Lulu came over and opened the lid. A fragrant aroma filled the whole room. It smelled so good. Li Lulu scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Li Dashan. She also picked up a piece of chicken and handed it to Wei Lingheng, asking him to taste whether it was cooked well.

"Try it and see if you can bite it. This old hen has been raised for a long time, so you need to stew it for a while longer."

Wei Lingheng was not polite either. He took a bite and said vaguely: "Well, it's stewed, delicious, shashasha..."

It was a little hot, but it couldn't stop Wei Lingheng from eating the delicious food.

Li Lulu sprinkled some pepper into it and prepared to put the pot on the shelf.

Li Xiaoyang was anxiously watching from the side and hurried to help put it away. Then Li Xiaoguang brought over a new pot and hung it up. It contained his favorite cured meat, so how could it not be quick!

The snow stopped today and the sun came out. It was very warm. After drinking the chicken soup, Li Dashan went out for a walk.

The family didn't let him help, they just asked him to wait for food. He had nothing to do anyway, so he went out for a walk.

He walked to the dilapidated old house, shook his head with regret, then put his hands behind his back and prepared to go to Li Qingsong's house. He met an old acquaintance after just a few steps.

"Brother Dashan, why are you strolling out today?" Li Fugui was holding a large bundle of firewood, with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Fugui thought: Isn't this brother Dashan going to live a good life with Lao Er's family? It's almost New Year's Eve, and now they are preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Why is he hanging around outside? Could he be kicked out? No way? This Li Lao Er is so honest, how could he be like this?

"Oh! The sun is out now. I want to go out for a walk. The kids at home don't let me help, so it's not very relaxing!" Li Dashan smiled happily. He is living a good life now.

"Oh! Brother Dashan is really enjoying his life now. He lives in a big brick and tile house, has filial children, and his grandchildren are all well-behaved and sensible. It's really enviable!" Li Fugui praised. He has only one son in his family who goes to work in town and seldom comes back. He didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year. He must be really envious.

"Yes, thanks to the filial piety of the second son's family, otherwise I, an old man, would not have had a good year." Li Dashan frowned, then smiled.

"Wow! Brother Dashan, your clothes are so nice. Was it bought by Lulu or made by my daughter-in-law? The material doesn't look cheap." Li Fugui smiled sincerely. He was not like those women who liked to gossip. He was just speaking the truth.

"Hahaha, this dress was made by Lulu's mother, and the cloth was bought by Lulu. They are all filial children! My life as an old man is worth it, hahaha..." Li Dashan was happy when he said this, stroking his beard and laughing heartily.

"Second uncle, why are you here?" Li Xiaogang drove a donkey cart loaded with firewood. They were living in a new house now, and they needed a lot of firewood piled up in the ancestral home they lived in before, so he went to the ancestral home to load a cart in preparation.

"Oh! Xiaogang! Just taking a walk and chatting with your uncle Fugui." Li Dashan turned his head, looked at the person who called him, and then said with a smile.

"Oh! Then, second uncle, come to our house and have a visit! Dad and Mom are really worried about you! They heard that your old house collapsed, and they are worried that you will be sad." Li Xiaogang sighed and said:

"My elder brother and his wife and I have all tried to persuade you. You are living well with Brother Qingping now. You won't be sad. But they are still worried. Alas..."

"Okay, you go back first and I'll be there soon."

Li Dashan waved his hand, and Li Xiaogang drove the donkey cart back.

"Brother Dashan, if that's the case, you should go and tell Brother Qingsong that you're safe so they can rest assured. They're worried about you too!"

"Okay, then Brother Fugui, I'll be leaving now. You're busy!"

Li Fugui waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Li Dashan turned around and walked towards Li Qingsong's house. Li Qingsong and his wife were busy in the kitchen. He stood at the door and watched without saying a word. Everyone in the house was busy and did not see him at the door.

Their daughter-in-law is capable and their son is hardworking, so the old couple don't need to do anything, but they just can't sit still and keep running around.

"Hey! Mom, just sit down and warm yourself by the fire! We don't need your help." Zheng Xin helped Zhou Xiaoshu warm herself by the fire pit.

"Dad, you and mom can sit by the fire and eat some oranges and melon seeds. You don't have to help with the fire. I can do it." Li Dahong helped Li Qingsong to the fire pit to warm himself.

Then he took a small table, put some melon seeds and oranges on it and placed it between the old couple. Then he turned around and saw Li Dashan at the door.

"Second uncle, I'm here. Come in and sit down." Li Dahong moved a chair and then heard someone calling him from the stove in front.

"Boss, come and help!" Zhao Ling shouted.

"Coming, coming," he turned his head and answered loudly.

Then he turned to Li Dashan and said, "Uncle, I'm going to be busy now, you guys can chat!"

After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen to help. Li Xiaogang was unloading the donkey cart and was busy. The children were also busy. It was the same with Li Qingping's family. No one was idle.

"Second brother, come and sit down." Li Qingsong patted the chair next to him and asked Li Dashan to sit down and warm himself by the fire.

Zhou Xiaoshu saw him sit down and handed him an orange to eat. The two of them looked at him with concern, unable to speak.

"Brother, aunt, Xiaogang told me just now, and I know everything. You don't have to worry, I'm fine. I'm living such a good life now, and I won't be sad because the old house collapsed. My son and daughter-in-law are filial, and my grandchildren are sensible. What is there to be sad about in such a life!" There was a gleam of happiness in Li Dashan's eyes.

"That's good, that's good." Li Qingsong also curved his eyebrows, and then he felt relieved.

"Are you relieved now? People say that the second family is very filial, and they told you not to worry, but you are still not relieved." Zhou Xiaoshu patted Li Qingsong's thigh gently and smiled with her eyes curved.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, and seeing that Li Dashan was living a happy life, they felt relieved.

After chatting for a while, Li Dashan went home. As soon as he reached the door, a small figure rushed over.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, come on, it's time for lunch. It's good that you're back, otherwise Lulu would have gone out to look for you." Li Lulu hugged Li Dashan, looked up at him, and grinned.

"Okay, let's go have lunch." Li Dashan held Li Lulu's hand, and the two walked to the fire pit house to eat.

These difficult dishes were all prepared and we had some for lunch.

Li Xiaoguang was holding the bowl and his chopsticks were swinging around leaving afterimages. Yue Xiangmei was really angry when she saw this, but she couldn't hit him during the New Year, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart.

"Xiaoguang, please eat well, please." Yue Xiangmei's tone sounded kind, but in fact her back teeth were almost broken.

In the afternoon, Li Lulu fried some tofu, fried the braised lion head, and fried the fish. Then she went to the house to rest for a while. Seeing Wei Lingheng writing and drawing at the desk, her eyelids began to droop.

She couldn't help but think of the classes she had in school. The teacher was writing with chalk on the blackboard, but she just couldn't listen. Her eyelids kept drooping, and then she fell asleep on the desk.

Uh...! She was asleep now, and Wei Lingheng was speechless. She just lay on the table and watched him draw, and fell asleep while watching.

Wei Lingheng carried her to the bed and took off her shoes. Then she hugged a corner of the quilt, rolled into the bed, covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.

Wei Lingheng twitched his lips, and a crow appeared above his head with countless ellipsis marks. Why did he feel a headache? He held his forehead with one hand and returned to his desk to continue painting.

As the sun set, Li Xiaoyang went upstairs to call Wei Lingheng and Li Lulu to have dinner. Li Xiaoyang knocked on Li Lulu's door.

"Sister, Sister Qingqing, let's go eat."

The door opened from the inside and Wei Lingheng walked out. Li Xiaoyang was about to ask where Li Lulu had gone when he saw Li Lulu rubbing her eyes and suddenly appearing from behind Wei Lingheng with a messy hair. He was startled.
