Chapter 29
On the second day, the snow did not stop, and the thickness of the snow in one night was already half a foot deep.

The roads in the village were covered by wind and snow.

Lin Changlu got up early and wore a thick padded jacket to sweep a path in the middle of the yard.

At dawn, Pei's third mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooked hot dumplings and eggs.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was impossible to wake people up. Lin Changlu lit firecrackers, and the sound of "cracking" made the five little lazy pigs in the family get up.

The first thing they do when they get up is look under their pillows.

When they found a string of copper coins tied with red thread underneath, the five children jumped up and down happily on the bed.

This is the time that children look forward to the most every year. With lucky money, they can buy delicious and fun things when the shopkeepers come to the village.

Ah Li took the copper coins and heard that Si Lang said that he could buy delicious food, so he hurriedly found a small jar and hid it.

After they wake up, wearing new clothes, they happily kneel down on the soft cushions to the elders in the family and say "Gong Xi Fa Cai". At this time, they can still get red envelopes. Although there are not many copper coins in them, it is very happy for children. up.

After breakfast, Si Lang took A Li and went door to door with his friends in the village to visit the New Year.

Generally, it is a lively scene, and every household prepares some sweets and snacks for children to eat.

Ah Li was wearing the little pink skirt and big red cloak that Lu Qingling gave her today, plus her delicate and cute face.

Miss Qianjin, who looks like a rich family, is particularly eye-catching among the children.

Every time I went to a house, I was praised by others, which made Cheng Jiaojiao very uncomfortable. She was also dressed up very beautifully by her mother today, but compared to Ah Li's appearance and clothes, she was still far behind. too much.

The children followed Ah Li to Lu's house. Lu Yun knew that there was such a custom in the village, so he arranged for his servants to prepare some copper coins to distribute to the children in the village.

This made the children very happy. They had never met such a generous family, and went home happily with the copper coins.

Only Ah Li Silang and Cheng Jiaojiao did not leave.

Ah Li bounced around and took the four boys to look for Lu Qingling. Cheng Jiaojiao asked beside him, "Ah Li, aren't you going home?"

"We'll go back later, why don't you leave! Everyone else has gone away."

"I want to play with you, can I?" She asked innocently.

Ah Li looked at her and nodded: "Alright then!"

It was cold outside, and Lu Qingling's body couldn't bear it. Normally, he stayed in his bedroom with high-quality charcoal burning inside.

He heard the servants in the family say that Ah Li was here, put down the books in his hands, and looked at the door expectantly.

After a while, Ah Li opened the door to reveal a small head, grinning and said to Lu Qingling in the room, "Brother Ling, happy new year, I wish you fish every year."

This is what she learned when she first heard someone say blessings.

Lu Qingling couldn't help showing a smile on her face, "Li Li will also be safe and healthy in the new year, come in quickly! It's cold outside."

When Ah Li opened the door and went in, there was actually a long line of people following behind.

Four Lang happily said New Year's greetings to him.

He responded with a slight smile one by one, and asked his servants to give them the big red envelopes he had prepared.

Only when it came to Cheng Jiaojiao, he suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, and just nodded symbolically.

Still, someone gave her a big red envelope.

Seeing that Lu Qingling had prepared red envelopes for the others, Ah Li picked up the snacks on the table and said while eating: "Brother Ling, they all have red envelopes, what about mine?"

After speaking, she tilted her head and blinked her big watery eyes.

Lu Qingling walked to her side and gently rubbed her hair, "How could it be possible without yours, I'll bring it to you alone later."

Ah Li was happy now, and took out a red envelope from the small satchel her mother made and handed it to him.

"My mother gave it to Brother Lu."

Lu Qingling took the red envelope, and a warm current rushed into her heart.

Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Ah Li, and couldn't help curling her lips in her heart, there is no one asking for a red envelope, it's really rude.

Also, she was very jealous when she saw the new clothes and cloak that Ah Li was wearing. She knew that it must have been given to her by Lu Qingling. After all, even the children of the Lin family knew about it in their village.

At a young age, her jealousy grew wildly.

Ah Li and the others stayed at Lu's house for a while and were about to go home. Her mother said she wanted to go back early for lunch.

Before leaving, Lu Qingling left her alone, took out a brocade box and opened it, inside was a pair of white jade jade pendants carved with twin fishes, and two gold chains around the mouths of the two fishes.

"Do you like carp?"

With a sweet smile, "I like it, I like it, there is me on it."

Lu Qingling thought she meant that the koi fish on it had the same name as her.

So he took out one and tied it around Ah Li's neck, and the other around his own neck.

"Li Li, these two pieces were given to me by my mother, one piece for you and one piece for me, if one day I'm gone, this jade pendant can be regarded as a memory left for you."

"Brother Ling, why aren't you here?"

Ah Li didn't quite understand what he meant, and looked at him innocently while touching the jade pendant.

Lu Qingling didn't say much, told her what she said, and then let Ah Li go home.

The next day, after the snow, it was clear and the sun was just right.

People in the village began to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

When Mrs. Yan got a big belly, she asked Lin Errong to bring Erlang Shiro back to her natal family. Because Mrs. Zhang severed ties with the Zhang family, she didn't have to go back to her natal family this year to be embarrassed.

They don't have to leave their relatives to chat with melon seeds on the kang in the house, and Ah Li and Dalang Shiro build snowmen in the yard and have a snowball fight.

It's a joy to play.

Their giggles echoed throughout the yard.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

Da Lang stopped, walked over to the outside of the yard and asked, "Who is it?"

"Da Lang, Li Li, is my pearl."

Da Lang scratched his head in doubt and said to himself: "Mingzhu, who is Mingzhu?"

As soon as Ah Li heard about Mingzhu, he immediately ran over to let Dalang open the yard, "Sister Mingzhu is sister Zhaodi!"

Only then did Da Lang realize that Li Zhaodi had changed her name, so he hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

Not only Lan Mingzhu was outside, but also Lan Qinxue's maid Qingdai and four or five male servants holding gift boxes.

"Carp!"

"Sister Mingzhu!"

The two little girls hugged each other happily when they met.

The adults chatting in the room heard the voices outside, and hurried out of the room.

"Miss Qingdai, why are you here, come in and sit down quickly."

Pei hurriedly greeted them into the house.

At this time, there were women in the village who were visiting the house together, seeing this scene, and said to the neighbors: "I am afraid that the Lin family is going to be prosperous, and there are rich and noble families coming to their house. In the past, their house was the one where mice came out crying when they entered."

"That's right, hey, the little girl who just went in looks like Zhaodi, a girl from the Li family? Didn't Mrs. Huang say that she got lost?"

"I think it looks a bit like it, but it seems to be a lot fatter than before, and the clothes I wear are also fine cotton. I don't know if it's her."
