"Children just sleep soundly. Come, wife, here's your New Year's money."
He took out a thick stack of Great Unity.
"I have," she patted her pillow.
"You can keep it if you have any. You are the mistress of the house, and the money is in your hands. Buy our daughter anything she likes. A poor son should raise a daughter well, otherwise when she grows up, the little things will be taken away by the young men."
She smiled and said, "Niuniu will definitely not be deceived."
There is a cupboard at home where Niu Niu’s things are kept.
It's packed full.
Li Mingqing would buy nice clothes or toys whenever the supply and marketing cooperative came to buy them.
I have everything I need and I can open a shop at home.
"Don't just buy it for our daughter, buy it for yourself too. Don't be stingy with the money. Your husband can earn money."
"Okay, my husband is the best."
After she finished speaking, she leaned in closer and kissed him, then retreated and lay down, saying, "Happy New Year. We have to get up early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, so go to bed."
Li Mingqing held her in his arms and whispered, "Good night, my wife."
I had a good night's sleep and heard sporadic firecrackers outside.
Everyone in Old Li's family changed into new clothes and wore them neatly.
The streets were full of people, gathered together chatting.
Everyone was waiting for Li Mingqing to come out, especially the children, who all wanted to go to Li's house to eat New Year's fruit candies.
If you were to ask which family in the whole village is most popular among children, it would definitely be Li Mingqing.
When Sun Jiaxue opened the door, a group of children rushed over.
"Auntie, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year! Come inside and have some candy."
The child's thoughts were too obvious, with the words "I want candy" written all over his face.
Li Mingqing was eating breakfast while holding Niuniu.
Sun Jiaxue took out a fruit plate containing candies, melon seeds and peanuts.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, auntie."
…
All the children said with shining eyes.
She smiled and filled everyone's pockets.
Niuniu looked at so many children and shouted, "Sister—sister—"
"My daughter, they are older sisters and older brothers, not younger sisters."
"Brother—sister—"
Li Mingqing carried Niuniu and went out with a group of children.
Everyone stared at Niu Niu.
Brand new clothes, exquisite scarves and little hats, they are prettier than dolls.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Niu Niu and then at Xu Yaozu who was having a runny nose beside her, and she had no other evil thoughts.
She had to admit that there was a world of difference between them.
The gap is too big, so stop dreaming.
Not only did she think so, Zhang Cuihua was also finished.
The fair and soft little girl, although she is a girl, is spoiled to the sky by the Li family and cannot be compared to her.
There aren't many people in the village, so we walked through them all in one afternoon.
In the afternoon, Yan Xingguo, Ding Shao and Yuan Jingshan came over.
Li Mingqing didn't expect that the three of them would come together.
"You all came here together, was this something you discussed?"
"I guess so. I came to take a look when I had nothing to do. This was prepared by my family. Happy New Year."
"Come in and sit down."
A wave of heat hit him when he opened the door. Yan Xingguo said, "Your home is so warm, even warmer than mine. You're living a really comfortable life."
"Why are you so startled? Didn't you know this before?"
"I knew it, but I didn't expect it to be so comfortable."
Ding Shao said: "Ever since I met you, I have always wanted to live in the village."
"It's really comfortable. There are no other disadvantages except that it's inconvenient to buy things. But looking at other villagers, I feel that they are not so comfortable."
Sun Jiaxue sat aside holding Niuniu and listened to their conversation.
After staying there for two hours, it was almost four o'clock and they prepared to return to the county town.
"Here, this is the New Year's money for Niuniu."
Three people stuffed red envelopes wrapped in red paper into her hands.
"Baby, say thank you uncle."
"Uncle Crab——"
The three grown men's eyes lit up when they heard those soft and sweet words. They were so lovable.
Li Mingqing said, "These are the Chinese cabbage and millet grown at home. Take them back and try them."
"The food you got is great, much better than what we sell. But you're really at a disadvantage. Why did you pack so much for us?"
"You three must have spent quite a bit of money carrying three bags here, didn't you?"
"My family prepared it for me."
He almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. He was really honest.
"Be careful on your way. By the way, Brother Ding, could you help me deliver a letter?"
"no problem."
"You happen to be close. It's in the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative, right next to Zheng Chenggong's house."
"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be delivered to you."
The letter to Zheng Chenggong was to ask him to send two carts of bricks and tiles on the fifth day of the New Year or whenever he had time.
Li Mingqing sent them to the village entrance before going back.
He went home and opened the three bags he had brought with him, which contained malted milk, milk powder, meat, etc.
"Brother Mingqing, there are so many things."
"It's indeed a lot. Let's send some to Granny Li tomorrow."
"OK."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Jiaxue went back to her parents' home. She felt uncomfortable at home, so she went out for a walk.
Old house.
Zhang Lihua is packing things to take to her parents' home tomorrow.
"Boss, I brought a pound of pork, five pounds of three-pound flour, and more than ten pieces of candy."
"Okay, I haven't been back for a long time."
"Thank you, Boss."
She was very grateful. Most people would definitely not agree to bring so many things.
This year she was really filial to the old couple of the Li family.
Li Lizhu took a plate of melon seeds, a dozen pieces of candy and a few apples.
