234 Gratitude and Blessing

Everyone congratulated Li Shun, Zhao Xiu, and Luo Ziyang.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran ate dumplings wrapped in coins.

“In that case, we will all be very lucky this year! Some will have smooth-sailing lives, while some will earn a lot of money from doing business!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“That’s right! This is a good sign!” Zhao Xiu also said happily.

The entire family laughed along.

After the dumplings were finished, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu took out their New Year’s money.

It wasn’t much. The children got six copper coins per person.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at each other and smiled. Then, they each took out two money bags made of red cloth.

“Father, Mother, this is the money Luo Cheng and I want to give you!”

Li Xiaoran handed the money bag in her hand to Zhao Xiu, while Luo Cheng handed the red money bag to Li Shun.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu didn’t expect to get filial piety money. They froze for a moment before putting away the money bag.

“Alright, we’ll also accept filial piety money this year!” Li Shun couldn’t stop smiling.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran smiled and each took out a smaller money bag.

“Ziyang, Xiao Qing, this is your New Year’s money!”

With that, the two of them handed over the small money bag again.

Luo Ziyang and Li Xiaoqing didn’t expect to get New Year’s money.

“You guys haven’t married yet, so you naturally have New Year’s money!” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.

When Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang heard this, they happily put away the money bags.

After eating the dumplings and giving out New Year’s money, it was midnight. Everyone was sleepy.

After boiling hot water and washing up, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng arrived outside their room, they said goodnight to each other and returned to their rooms.

Everyone in the Luo family slept well that night.

Even the uninvited guest, Third Master Xue, was sleeping soundly!

He had no choice. He was hungry, but had nothing to eat. He could only go to sleep, in hopes that he would dream of some delicacies!

The next morning, the sun actually came out.

However, the house was quiet. Everyone was still asleep.

After a year of work, they could only relax these few days, so everyone sleeped in.

At noon, everyone got up one after another.

There was a saying that people shouldn’t eat rice on the first day of the new year, so everyone simply ate sliced noodles in the morning.

As soon as they finished breakfast, they heard the children who had come to visit.

The group quickly brought the melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, then ran outside to receive the guests.

Luo Cheng was well prepared this time. Not only did he prepare all the things, but he also gave every child who came two copper coins.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Little Huzi standing at the front with Little Yue’er. They were wearing new clothes and had happy expressions.

The group of children bowed to everyone and even muttered words of blessing.

Hearing the children’s laughter, the group was overjoyed.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu each grabbed melon seeds and peanuts, then stuffed them into the children’s pockets.

Luo Ziyang and Li Xiaoqing were in charge of giving candy to the children.

As for Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, they gave the children two copper coins.

Just like that, they filled the childrens’ bags!

“The bags are full!” Many children shouted happily now. “In the past, we didn’t fill the bags even after we went around the entire village for New Year’s greetings. Our bags got filled up at this one place!”

“That’s right! Luo Cheng’s family will definitely become rich this year! I remember when I was six years old, I met a generous person when I went to my maternal family’s house. Later on, that family became rich and their lives became better and better!” Another little boy said loudly.

“Alright, thank you for your blessings! We’re going to be rich this year!” Li Xiaoran smiled happily when she heard these innocent words.

“Sister Ran, you’ll become more and more beautiful!” Little Yue’er blushed as she said what was on her mind. “After I went back yesterday, I told my mother what you said to me. My mother said that I was lucky to have met you. You’re my benefactor! Sister Ran, I’ll repay you in the future!”

Li Xiaoran looked at Little Yue’er, who had already become more outgoing, and was happy for her.

Squatting down, Li Xiaoran reached out and touched Little Yue’er’s head.

“Don’t spend these two copper coins after you bring them back. Let your mother make a small bag for you and put it in it. Keep it every day in the future! It will be your lucky charm and bring you good luck! I don’t need you to repay me. I just need you to grow up healthy and happy! Got it?”

Little Yue’er smiled and nodded.

“Thank you, Sister Ran!”

After Li Xiaoqing distributed the items, she ran in to wash her hands while everyone was talking and ran out again.

“Father, Mother, I went out to play with Little Huzi and the others!”

Li Shun and the others nodded and watched the children leave.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Xiao Qing run out to play so happily! In the past, she was unwilling to go out to play during the new year!” Li Shun sighed.

“How could she go out at that time? Everyone else wears new clothes and has delicious food. What did your daughter have?” Zhao Xiu rolled her eyes at her man and said.

When Li Shun heard this, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly coaxed his wife with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she thought of something.

“What’s the situation with the Li family now?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and asked.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought about it for a moment.

“It’s a hot mess!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately burst out laughing.

“I can imagine! It’s fine as long as they don’t disturb our house!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, his expression immediately became strange.

“Why? Does the Li family really want to cause trouble at our house?”

“Of course they want to. The Li family has never been good people. If they bullied your family like that in the past, how can they be willing to let us off?! However, every time they have any ideas, I get someone to teach them a lesson!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran was enlightened. She was wondering why the Li family was so quiet. It turned out that Luo Cheng had secretly dealt with them.

“Then what does the Li family want to do this time? Make you look unnatural?”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Actually, it’s the second branch of the Li family!”

“Second Uncle? Li Wei?” Li Xiaoran was immediately puzzled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

Ever since she transmigrated, her second uncle’s family had had a very low presence.
