Started as a poor little girl

As the sun is about to set, we prepare to go home. Figures of all sizes are walking back and forth on the country roads. It is so warm to watch. The breeze blows by, taking away the warmth of the day and leaving behind a sense of peace and tranquility.

The two teams parted ways at the entrance of the village and went home. It was getting dark and a bit cold, so everyone gathered around the fire to warm themselves.

Li Lulu felt it was boring. The ancients didn't like staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, so she simply went back to her room. Wei Lingheng followed her eagerly. When she opened the door, Wei Lingheng was about to enter her room. Li Lulu quickly blocked him at the door and asked:

"What are you doing? Go back to sleep! I'm a little sleepy too." After saying that, Li Lulu pushed Wei Lingheng out and closed the door quickly.

Li Lulu felt a little bit of pain in her conscience, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't let Wei Lingheng become an internet addict and condemn her own conscience.

She went into the space and stayed in her room inside the space, playing with her mobile phone. Fortunately, the space had electricity, water and internet, but it could not be used for communication. She could check information, watch TV, and watch short videos.

She quickly downloaded several new TV series and variety shows, and she fell asleep while waiting.

The next morning, today is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year.

Wei Lingheng went to bed early, so he got up early. He went downstairs early. Yue Xiangmei asked him to help wake up Lulu to eat dumplings, and then he went upstairs to call Li Lulu.

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

"Lulu, Lulu, get up. Auntie has made some dumplings and is calling you to get up and eat them quickly. Lulu, did you hear me?" Wei Lingheng shouted while knocking on the door. He shouted loudly on purpose because he was angry with Li Lulu for not letting him play with her cell phone last night.

Li Lulu fell asleep in the space again and was awakened by a knock on the door early in the morning. She slid out of the bed smoothly, walked out of the space gracefully, put on a piece of clothing, and opened her eyes. She was too lazy to open them, and squinted to find the door and opened it.

Wei Lingheng walked in, closed the door, went to the desk and sat down skillfully, watching Li Lulu disappear again. Fortunately, he was smart enough to close the door, otherwise other people in the house would be scared to death if they saw it.

Li Lulu went into the space to wash up, took out the purse she had packed last night, put it in her bag, jumped out of the space, and went downstairs pulling Wei Lingheng.

When we walked to the fire pit house, we saw several bowls of fragrant dumplings on the table. Some were filled with crushed peanuts, and some were filled with sesame fillings. One bite filled your mouth with the aroma of sesame.

"Mom, this is so delicious! Where did you learn this?" Li Lulu praised after eating a few dumplings.

"I'm glad you like it. I tried making it after having eaten it once in town." Yue Xiangmei looked at Li Lulu kindly and touched her little head.

"Mom, you are so amazing. No wonder my sister's cooking is so delicious. It turns out she inherited it from you!" Li Xiaoguang finished eating the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, grinning with some sesame filling on his teeth.

“Hahahaha… Second brother, do you want to make me laugh to death? Your teeth… Hahahaha…” Li Lulu laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

It was quite funny to see Wei Lingheng and Yue Xiangmei trying to hold back their laughter. With their black teeth and silly smiles, they looked a bit like idiots.

Li Xiaoguang didn't care and was about to get up to add a few more dumplings. Yue Xiangmei quickly said, "Xiaoguang, don't eat too much. It's hard to digest. Do you know? It's not that your mother is reluctant to give it to you."

Li Xiaoguang nodded helplessly, and scooped out three more to eat. He still wanted to eat more, and looked at the pot with an unsatisfied look on his face.

After a while, you had one, I had two, and he had three, and we had eaten up all the dumplings in the pot.

After eating the dumplings, Li Lulu greeted everyone in the family one by one and gave each of them a purse.

"Sister, it's right for you to give the money to parents and grandfather, but it's wrong to give it to your brother. It should be the older ones who give the younger ones New Year's money. You are the youngest in the family, and your brother should give it to you, not take your New Year's money." Li Xiaoyang pulled the corner of his mouth, looking ashamed.

The naive Li Xiaoguang accepted the purse with a happy look on his face, and said with a silly look: "Thank you, sister. I like you the most."

Tiantian whispered woodenly as he watched Li Lulu say this, and he also tried to say it, thinking he would be praised, but what he got in return was a mixed doubles beating.

Yue Xiangmei and Li Qingping each slapped him in the face.

"Don't be angry, Mom and Dad. Just accept them. This is a gift from me. The money inside is a combination of my brothers' wages and New Year's money, hehe! So don't be angry, Mom and Dad. Just let my brothers take it." Li Lulu looked very well-behaved.

"Okay, Lulu is so well behaved, much better than your brother." Yue Xiangmei lovingly smoothed down the tuft of Li Lulu's standing hair.

"Second brother, Lulu is right. This is the child's gift, so just keep it!" Anyway, Li Dashan wanted to save the money he gave to Li Lulu and use it as a dowry. If she has a lot of money, her in-laws won't bully her.

"Got it, Dad." Li Qingping put the purse away carefully. But afraid of mixing it up with his own, he asked Yue Xiangmei to help him keep it.

"Thank you, Lulu. This is for you. Don't be disgusted by it!"

Wei Lingheng took out a jade hairpin. He had not used the money Li Lulu gave him. On the day he bought furniture, he accidentally found this hairpin on the street. He thought it was very beautiful, so he bought it to give to Li Lulu. It was just right to take it out now.

He then took out three purses from his bosom and handed them to Li Qingping and his wife and Li Dashan, wishing them a happy new year one by one.

"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, Happy New Year. Please accept these. Even though they are not much, please don't despise them." Wei Lingheng bowed again in a serious manner.

Li Dashan gave New Year's money to his grandchildren and Wei Lingheng in turn. The children lined up and kowtowed to thank their grandfather one by one.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Qingping also gave New Year's money to the children, and the children kowtowed to thank them in turn.

After receiving the New Year's money, several children gathered together and opened their purses. Not sure if it was planned or just a coincidence, but each of them found a tael of silver in their purses. The children cheered with joy.

Everyone in their family had come to pay New Year's greetings. They got ready and came to Li Qingsong's house in a mighty procession, carrying baskets of things on their backs.

The door of their house was open. When they saw Li Dashan and his family coming over, Zhou Xiaoshu and Li Qingsong came out to welcome them into the house.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma." Li Lulu first greeted the two elderly people.

The two old men took out the purses they had prepared in advance and handed them to Li Lulu.

"Lulu, take it. This is a gift from your grandmother."

"Come here, little Lu, this is a gift from your grandpa, hahahaha"

"Thank you, grandpa, thank you, grandma." Li Lulu thanked them and took their wrists and walked into the main room together.

"Hurry, everyone sit down. Dahong, light the fire quickly." Li Qingsong was making arrangements, fearing that he would be negligent.

There was a brazier in the main room, and Li Dahong and his men were sitting around it. When Li Qingsong said so, Li Dahong brought another brazier and burned the fire in the braziers vigorously.

Li Qingping put down the things on his back, and Li Dahong took them and put them aside.

"You're here, but you're bringing so many things. Really." Li Qingsong frowned, fearing that they would waste them.

"Brother, it's not much, it's all the children's love." Li Dashan said hurriedly, afraid that his brother would get angry if he said it later.

"Grandpa, it's New Year's Eve, so you have to give something as a New Year gift. Don't worry, it doesn't cost much and it won't be a waste, so just accept it."

Li Lulu spoke in a soft voice, and Li Qingsong relaxed his brows and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Li Lulu was wishing New Year's greetings to her great-grandparents, Li Xiaoyang and the others were not to be outdone.

"Grandpa, grandma, Happy New Year." Li Xiaoyang bowed and saluted, then found a place to sit down.

"Grandpa, grandma, Happy New Year, hehe..." Li Xiaoguang saluted happily and then sat next to Li Lulu.

Wei Lingheng bowed formally and said, "Grandpa, grandma, Happy New Year." Then he sat down on the other side of Li Lulu.

"You are all good children. Come, grandma will give you New Year's money." Zhou Xiaoshu handed purses to the children one by one with a kind smile on her face.

"Come here, kids, grandpa has some too." Li Qingsong gave each child a purse.

Zheng Xin brought a few plates of melon seeds, peanuts, and candies. After placing two braziers, several children sat at one table and the remaining adults sat at another. There were also oranges and grapefruits, and the table was soon full.

Zhao Ling and Zheng Xin chatted with them for a while and then went to prepare lunch. Li Dahong and Li Xiaogang also went to help. Li Tiezhu and the others didn't want to move, so they continued to sit and chat with Li Lulu and the others.

"Come on, one for each of you." Li Lulu took out a purse from her bag and gave each of Li Tiezhu, Li Xiaoxing and Li Feng a purse.
