When Li Dazhuang and his three sons saw Xiao Weimo, they picked out some candy from their purchases and handed it to Xiao Weimo, who was being held in Li Xiuxiu's arms.
"Little Wei Mo, Uncle just bought some candy. You can take it and share it with your sisters!"
Li Fu, standing to the side, was filled with envy. Although his family's conditions had improved, every farmer's family was still struggling.
I still can't bear to be like Li Dazhuang, grabbing a handful of candy and giving it to a child. I'm only being generous because the other person is Xiao Weimo.
Li Fu, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed and licked his lips. Wei Mo witnessed all of this.
Wei Mo quickly got down from Li Xiuxiu's arms and onto the ground. After thinking for a moment, he stuffed the candy into Li Fu's hand.
"Li Fu, these candies are for you. My teeth will hurt if I eat too many."
Hearing Wei Mo's words, Li Fu was overjoyed and smiled as he spoke to Wei Mo.
"Thank you, Brother Wei Mo. You're so kind. I'll come visit you again when we get back to the village."
That's how kids are. They can't bear to let their parents restrict their candy intake, but Wei Mo gave them the candy again. Now their parents probably won't say anything, right?
Looking at the sensible little Wei Mo, Li Dazhuang liked him more and more, and gently patted his head.
Then he loaded the goods onto the truck, said goodbye to Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo, and turned to walk towards the village.
Today, the oxcart could only carry goods, and the goods on the oxcart kept increasing until the old man returned with his goddaughter and eldest granddaughter.
Seeing the large amount of things the old man had bought, Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu went forward to help load all the goods onto the oxcart.
The old man looked at the family in front of him and slowly began to speak.
"Is there anything else you want to buy? If so, go ahead and buy it. We'll wait a little longer. If not, we'll head home to prepare for the Lunar New Year."
Everyone shook their heads. They had already bought far too much stuff today. In which year had they ever been so extravagant?
Seeing everyone shake their heads, the old man thought for a moment, then led the oxcart and addressed his family.
"Let's go home and prepare for the Chinese New Year."
Wei Mo and everyone else nodded excitedly, then followed the oxcart, slowly leaving the town and heading towards their homes in the village.
The villagers were all looking into the distance from the village entrance, as they had a lot of goods on the oxcart. They saw the old man leading the oxcart back to the village entrance.
Everyone greeted them warmly, and the area around the oxcart turned into a bustling market.
Each family was on an oxcart, searching for the things they had bought, happily taking them home, ready to celebrate the best New Year they had seen in years.
As the goods were continuously selected, Wang Zhenhua, Li Xiuxiu, and the others kept a close eye on their own goods.
Only when all the goods belonging to his family were left on the cart did the old man urge the ox pulling the cart to head home.
After the oxcart slowly arrived at Wei Mo's house, everyone began to busy themselves carrying things back into the house.
They bought a lot of things, enough to last them a long time. With Wei Mo replenishing the family's supplies every now and then, their lives will definitely become more and more prosperous.
As the goods were unloaded from the cart, the old man happily led the oxcart to the cowshed, bringing some things for the old fellows there.
You should know that the elderly people in the cowsheds of the village are actually living quite well compared to those in other villages.
The old village chief would occasionally buy them some things, and Xiao Weimo would also secretly send them some every now and then.
They're doing quite well now, much better than the other villagers who were sent down to the countryside. This is largely due to the old village chief's exceptional care for them.
Grandma Yu was happily tidying up the things she had bought this time at home.
Wang Zhenhua, Wang Ling, and Qian Manman were helping to organize these things.
Wang Ling's face turned slightly red, because most of these items were for her own wedding.
She was especially grateful to her current godparents, and was so moved by her new family that she shed tears. Then, slightly sobbing, she spoke to Grandma Yu beside her…
"Godmother, thank you and godfather. You've been so good to me. When I have a child in the future, I'll let him be your grandson."
Grandma Yu was naturally very happy to hear this, but this era is not something that can be called casually.
Grandma Yu naturally hopes to have her own grandchildren.
But you can't force people to do things they don't want to do. My own grandchildren are doing just fine.
Grandma Yu quickly shook her head and looked at Wang Ling, who was secretly crying in front of her, and slowly spoke.
"Daughter, no need, no need. I'm content to have you as my daughter. Besides, you can't tell Sanpang about this. Don't tell Sanpang about this, okay?"
Grandma Yu didn't want her daughter and future son-in-law to have a conflict because of her; she preferred the whole family to be happy together.
Listening to Grandma Yu's words, Wang Ling nodded. She was still pondering how to repay her godfather and godmother.
Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo were not outside tidying up, but were whispering to each other inside the house.
"Aunt Xiuxiu, look, this is a talisman for warding off illness and protecting the house. How do we put it in the house?"
You know, now is the time to break with feudal superstitions. Such a large talisman pasted in the house is bound to be discovered by others.
Li Xiuxiu didn't have any good ideas either. She scratched her head, then looked at the little kid in front of her, patted Wei Mo's head, and slowly said.
"Don't go out. Wait in the room. I'll go and call Sister Wang. The three of us can discuss it together. After all, we can't let this go to waste."
Wei Mo nodded, and Li Xiuxiu walked out of the room and came to Wang Zhenhua's side, speaking to him.
"Sister Wang, stop tidying up for now. Can you come with me for a moment? I have some private matters to attend to and I need your help."
Grandma Yu, who was standing nearby, noticed that Li Xiuxiu seemed anxious as she spoke slowly, and couldn't help but worry, so she asked her what was wrong.
"Xiuxiu, what's wrong? Do you need my help?"
Li Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand, saying that this couldn't be known by others, otherwise it would be impossible to explain where this thing came from.
"No, no, it's nothing serious, godmother, it's just a little... a little..."
Li Xiuxiu couldn't think of anything to say, but Grandma Yu thought it was a private topic for women, so she quickly urged Wang Zhenhua, who was standing next to her, to speak.
"Zhenhua, hurry, hurry, go and check on Xiuxiu's girl, we'll take care of things here."
Wang Zhenhua was also completely confused. He thought that Li Xiuxiu must be looking for him about Wei Mo, so he nodded and went into the room with Li Xiuxiu.
Then, Li Xiuxiu and Wei Mo told Wang Zhenhua about the talisman.
After thinking for a moment, Wei's mother felt that this matter was not easy to handle, since the old man was here now and the villagers often came here.
She couldn't help but scratch her head. Moreover, this thing was definitely a treasure, and she had to think of a way to get it out without letting others find out.
