"Mom, please let me go."
Shen Li chuckled.
Soon, all the children came. Shen Li brought a small stool for each child. Everyone sat on the stools and watched the color TV in unison.
During this time, the mothers of these children also came. They were too embarrassed to go into the house, so they just watched from outside the open house.
This color TV is really nice.
It's much better than their black and white TV.
It is comfortable for the eyes to look at and does not make them tired at all.
"Since everyone is here, let's all come inside." Shen Li warmly entertained everyone.
After being invited by Shen Li, the sisters-in-law also came into the house one after another.
Duran took out a small plate from the kitchen and prepared a plate of diced fruit for each person, and a handful of melon seeds for each person.
We sat together, eating melon seeds and eating diced fresh fruit with toothpicks while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
The room was filled with warmth and everyone was smiling. When they saw the funny jokes and skits, they laughed out loud and laughed so hard that they fell backwards. There was constant laughter and joy.
The room was filled with joy.
After the Spring Festival Gala, everyone watched TV for a while until 10 o'clock in the evening, when the sisters-in-law and their children left.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Li, Lu Jingchuan and Du Lan sat on the sofa watching TV.
Both children were a little sleepy and were shaking their heads.
"Duoduo, Minghui, you two are children and don't need to stay up all night. Go back to your rooms." Shen Li said softly.
Lu Minghui rubbed his sleepy eyes, said goodbye to Shen Li and the others, then took Duoduo's hand and went back to the room.
When Duoduo returned to her bed, she lifted the pillow and found a small red envelope.
"Brother! There's a red envelope!" Duoduo picked up the red envelope. She was a little sleepy at first, but now she was no longer sleepy. Her big eyes like black grapes were sparkling and bright.
"I have one here too." Lu Minghui also took out his own red envelope from the pillow. The style of the red envelope was the same as Duoduo's. "It should be prepared by mom for us. It should be our New Year's money."
"Hurry up and open it to see what this is." Duoduo said. She couldn't wait to open the red envelope.
This red envelope is different from ordinary paper red envelopes. It is made of gold velvet and has a golden thread at the collar, tied into a bow style.
Duoduo opened the red envelope, revealing a rolled-up stack of cash.
She took out the money with her little hands and counted it. Her big eyes like black grapes suddenly widened and shone brightly, "Brother, it's a dollar!"
"I also have a lot of money here." Lu Minghui said.
In this era, it goes without saying what a dollar means.
"Many children in our compound only get a few cents a year as their annual allowance!" Duoduo said, "Huihui, who used to be the richest in the compound, got the most annual allowance, two yuan."
"But mom actually gave us a piece of money!"
"Yes... Mom is very good to us. When we grow up, we must repay her well." Lu Minghui said, holding the two pieces of money.
There was a subtle and dense emotion in his heart, and a warm current spread at the mouth.
"Brother, is our family the richest in the compound?" Duoduo asked curiously.
Before her mother came to this family, Duoduo envied Huihui the most.
Huihui's father is a brigade commander and holds a high position in the compound.
Huihui's grandparents also come from a well-off family, and the whole family loves Huihui very much.
Huihui is not only loved by her family and has money, but she is also very beautiful. She has fair skin, black hair, delicate features, and looks like a doll.
Moreover, Huihui can wear pretty little skirts and pink shiny sandals every day. She can wear cute bows on her braided hair ties, pretty little hairpins in her hair, and eat a White Rabbit candy every day.
Huihui is a girl that all the kids in the compound like.
Everyone calls her the little princess.
Many boys said they wanted to marry Huihui when they grow up.
In comparison, I was like an ugly duckling at that time.
But now it’s different. Ever since my mother came into this family, I have someone who loves and cares for me.
Now I can wear beautiful little skirts every day. These little skirts are not available in other stores - they are all designed by my mother herself.
She can wear super soft leather shoes every day, and they don't rub her feet at all. It feels like stepping on cotton. Even when she runs in them for a long time, her feet won't get tired.
The little shoes are paired with beautiful lace stockings with bows. Her hair is always combed into the most beautiful hairstyle - many little girls praise her hairstyle and ask her how she braids her hair so beautifully. She just says she doesn't know, her mother braids it for her. She always wears the cutest little hair in her hair. Not only can she eat White Rabbit milk candy, but she can also eat imported chocolate—the chocolate is not the super sweet kind sold in grocery stores, but lightly sweet with a hint of bitterness, with several layers of chocolate and chocolate beans inside, which is crunchy when you bite it.
Not only that, she could eat a lot of tender meat for every meal, sometimes fresh pork, sometimes hot beef, and sometimes the mutton was also delicious - other children could only eat meat a few times a year, and only a little bit, but she could eat meat all she wanted.
The most common thing in the house is seafood, big crabs, big lobsters, squid, mantis shrimp...
In addition to these, her mother would also make her delicious Yangzhi sago and bowls of beautiful and delicious sugar water that she had never seen before. She could also eat durian mooncakes, durian snow meiniang, and snow-skin durian mooncakes.
Now she has become the most envied girl among all the children on the island.
All this is because of my mother.
It was my mother who took me to heaven.
She has the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, and her mother gives her a lot of love and warmth.
Although my mother is not my biological mother, she is better than my biological mother.
"I think so." Lu Minghui said.
"Brother, I have something else in here!" Duoduo took out a small necklace from the small red envelope.
The necklace is made of a large red thread, with a small, round, golden gourd hanging below.
"What a cute necklace!" Duoduo's eyes lit up.
"This is a gold necklace, it's worth a lot of money." Lu Minghui said, "You'd better be careful to keep it, don't lose it."
"Brother, please put it on me quickly!" Duoduo couldn't wait any longer.
