"Little sister, you snatched this reward from my second brother. Can you give me some of it?" Li Xu also stepped forward to join in the fun.
This time, Li Ju was even more straightforward, "Split."
"So how much are you going to give us?"
Li Ju counted on her fingers for a long time before finally saying hesitantly, "I'll give you three cents each and I'll take four cents. Is that okay?"
Li Xu chuckled and then asked, "Little sister, why do you want to get one cent more than the two of us?"
"If I give this money to you, I'm afraid that Big Sister will be angry; if I give the money to Big Sister, I'm afraid that you will be angry, so I'd rather keep it for myself."
Li Mei and the other person looked at each other and then laughed.
Li Ju looked at them in confusion.
At this time, Sun Xiu said, "Xiao Ju, just go out and play. They are teasing you."
Hearing this, Li Ju asked, "Big sister, second brother, are you kidding me?"
"Yes." The two replied.
Now Li Ju stopped talking and turned around and ran out.
Sun Xiu then said angrily, "You two really have so much free time. What if you make her cry?"
"Whoever starts it first gets to make trouble."
After saying this, Li Xu also ran out.
Sun Xiu and her mother were left in the room staring at each other.
After a moment of silence, Li Mei smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, please sit down and take a rest. Once my sister-in-law is done, it will be your turn to get busy."
After saying that, he walked aside and teased little Wenbo.
Sun Xiu shook his head in amusement and sat down on the stool to rest.
It didn't take long before Li Jiakang and the other man had finished pasting all the couplets.
They came to Li Xu and watched Li Ju play together.
Seeing her cheerful look, the corners of their mouths curled up unconsciously.
After a while, Hu Guilan quickly walked out of the kitchen.
After coming out, he immediately closed the kitchen door, leaving only a gap.
Then he told Li Chen to set off firecrackers at the gap and stop only after the smell inside dissipated.
Li Ping walked quickly to her side.
Smelling the strong aroma of food on her body, Li Ping swallowed his saliva.
Then he pulled her towards the main room and said, "Let's go inside and take a rest first."
At this time, except for Li Chen who was diligently throwing firecrackers, everyone else entered the main room together.
As soon as he saw Hu Guilan, Li Wenbai, who was still learning to walk, opened his eyes wide and opened his arms and rushed towards her.
He kept calling "Mom" and "Mom".
Unfortunately, he was picked up from behind by Li Mei before he could run two steps.
Even so, little Wenbo was still restless and kept struggling.
Hu Guilan quickly stepped forward to take the child and kissed him twice.
What's more, the child calmed down and giggled as soon as he was in her arms.
Seeing this scene, Li Ping said with some jealousy, "This brat, seeing his mother he was so affectionate, but seeing me, his biological father, he's better than a stranger."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Sun Xiu laughed and said, "Don't you see how little time you spend with your child every day? He barely sees you, so how could he possibly be intimate with you?"
"I have no choice." Li Ping spread his hands.
Li Xu looked at him with contempt.
I had some time just now, but why didn’t I see you taking care of the child?
Then I suddenly felt that I had no right to despise him.
Because I am not someone who has the patience to take care of children.
Of course, except for Li Ju...
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, then Sun Xiu asked, "Gui Lan, are the dishes ready?"
"It's ready, but you have to wait until the smell from the kitchen dissipates before you can go in and serve it."
Sun Xiu nodded and then said to Li Ping, "Boss, take Wen Bo over and let Gui Lan sit down and have a good rest. She's worked really hard today."
Li Ping responded and was about to take over from Li Wenbai.
But Hu Guilan refused, "It's okay, I'm not really tired today. I have food, drinks and a stool inside. If there is someone to chat with me, I don't want to come out."
Sun Xiu smiled, then took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over. "This is a reward given to me by the factory, Guilan. I give it to you. I hope you don't mind it."
Having said that, Hu Guilan naturally couldn't refuse.
Everyone chatted while waiting for the kitchen smell to dissipate.
Only when the sound of firecrackers in the yard stopped did Sun Xiu and the others walk out.
When I walked into the kitchen, I could still smell something.
First bring the two dishes with tight covers to the main room.
He also asked Li Chen to set off some firecrackers in the kitchen, and everyone cleaned up after the room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After everything was cleaned up, Sun Xiu started to light the fire and cook, and Li Mei helped her.
Not long after, Li Qiang and others came over.
After everyone said hello, Qin Hua and Li Hui went into the kitchen to help.
Li Qiang was hugging his child and chatting with everyone in the main room.
They didn't chat for long before Sun Xiu and others came in carrying food.
Seeing this, Li Ping stepped forward and closed the door.
Then Li Jiakang led everyone to worship their ancestors.
Then he went to the yard and set off a string of firecrackers.
When I returned to the house again, I closed the door tightly.
Everyone sat at the table, looking at the sumptuous meal, their mouths watering.
Li Jiakang was the first to raise his glass and make a speech. "This year has been pretty good for our Li family. We have been prosperous. Let's raise our glasses and have a toast. I wish the coming year will be even better."
Everyone raised their cups and took a sip.
