Chapter 170: Visiting the Li Family to Pay New Year’s Greetings
On the first day of the new year, Bai Ruoqiao got up late, which was a rare occasion.
By the time she went downstairs, the hall was already bustling with people.
She smiled and blessed everyone one by one, and finally received a pile of red envelopes.
This kind of experience has not come for a long time.
"Hey, where are Grandpa and An An?" She looked around but didn't see the old man and An An. She wondered if the old man and the child hadn't gotten up yet.
Because An An sleeps in the same room with the old man.
Liao Shiyun brought her a hot breakfast and placed it on the table, beckoning her to come and eat, while explaining with a smile, "Grandpa is taking An An to your Grandpa Li's house to pay New Year's greetings. You and Si Hai should get ready and join us later."
Bai Ruoqiao then remembered what the old man had said yesterday.
The two old men have the best relationship and happen to live in the same compound.
It’s just that Mr. Li is in the North District, which is a bit far away.
"Okay." Bai Ruoqiao nodded.
Bai Ruoyao hugged the pillow, lay on the back of the sofa, and said, "Little sister, you guys should come earlier, then I will take you out to play."
Before Bai Ruoqiao could say anything, Bai Ruoxi pulled her down and said, "Don't lead my little sister astray. Behave yourself today. I think there will be a lot of people coming."
Bai Ruoqiao pouted and muttered, "That's why I want to take my little sister out to play, so that I don't have to laugh with her. It's so boring."
"You are still boring, who am I?" Bai Juntao rolled his eyes at her.
After all, he is the only male in the third generation of the family, so every year when guests come to visit, the young ones are basically left to him to take care of.
He was also annoyed by having to flatter so many people.
The most important thing is that every year the eldest sister either can't come, or the third sister finds an excuse to escape, leaving him alone to deal with it.
So this year, no matter what, we have to keep these two to share the firepower.
As for my little sister...
He also nodded and said, "Little sisters, why don't you guys stop talking and go out for a walk."
Bai Ruoqiao laughed helplessly, "It's freezing outside, what's the point of going shopping?"
The family was chatting, and at this time the old man and An An just arrived at the Li family.
However, quite a few people had come to the Li family's side to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. I could hear some noise before I even entered the house, and it seemed quite lively.
The old man was a little surprised and asked the orderly who led them into the house, "Who comes to pay New Year's greetings so early?"
The orderly had a strange look on his face, and said helplessly, "It's the master's family."
Upon hearing this, the old man's brows immediately furrowed and his expression looked a little unhappy.
The Li family has had a lot of troubles, and they also originated from relatives.
This is different from Mr. Bai who made his fortune by fighting in battles.
The Li family was originally a warlord family during the Republic of China period. After the war broke out, they fell apart for their own interests.
Old Master Li was the least favored concubine's child in the Li family and had no power or benefits in the Li family.
But when the Li family was about to break up, he did not flee with them, but led troops with Li's father to defend the Li family's property.
Later, when Li's father went to war, Mr. Li donated all of the family's remaining property to the army as military supplies and joined the army himself.
After that, they fought in the flames of war for several decades and finally restored the glory of the Li family.
It’s just that when you become famous, even shit will stick to you.
The eldest brother Li, who had fled abroad and was almost unable to make ends meet after squandering the property he brought from the Li family, learned of his brothers' situation and immediately moved his family abroad. Later, he found Mr. Li.
