Li Mei returned home and looked at Li Yu with regret on her face and thought to herself: Mr. Zhou is handsome and knowledgeable. It would be great if he was the son of an ordinary family. My Xiaoyu and my family are really a perfect match for each other. It's a pity that he is a good-looking man. As a young master from a wealthy family, I have to talk to her carefully to prevent her from being tempted.

Li Mei told Li Yu earnestly: "Yu'er, aunt knows that Mr. Zhou is handsome and knowledgeable, but I'm afraid these young masters from wealthy families have already been engaged. We can't let ourselves sink and become concubines until next year." My aunt will ask someone to search for you and find a down-to-earth and reliable family to be the bride of the house."

Li Yu smiled and pulled Li Mei into the kitchen. "Aunt, don't worry, I will never do anything like that. I don't want to get married. I plan to stay at home and never get married." Li Yu Holding Li Mei in his arms, "Let's not talk about these things that have nothing to do with us. You can take these new year's goods back."

Li Mei stopped and looked at Li Yu, "It's not up to you if you don't want to marry. If a woman is eighteen years old and hasn't been engaged yet, she will have to be matched by the government office. Who knows what kind of crooked things will happen then? date."

Li Yu was stunned after hearing this. What kind of world is this? He can't even decide whether to marry or not.

Seeing Li Yu standing there, Li Mei tried to comfort her with a smile, "Yu'er, you've only turned fourteen not long ago, and you're still two or three years away from being eighteen! Let's take our time and find a good family," Li Meila said. Holding Li Yu's hand, "Don't you want to give me New Year's goods? Give it to my aunt!"

Li Yu came to his senses and took Li Mei to get the New Year's goods. Li Mei saw that the bamboo basket was filled with various preserved goods, fresh meat, and cakes. She smiled angrily at Li Yu and said, "Give us all the New Year's goods." Now, what do you eat?"

"Look, there are so many hanging on the wooden frame at the mouth of the stove!" Li Yu moved the bamboo basket to the eaves. Zhao Di came out of the side room and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Cousin, the shoes are ready, you I’ll try to see if it fits.”

Li Yu looked at the delicate and quiet Zhao Di and said with a smile: "Thank you, cousin. I will try again later."

Li Yu sent away Li Mei, mother and daughter. Sitting on the chair, he felt worried: Do he really want to find someone to marry him? Li Yu's mind kept spinning, and his eyes lit up. He could find someone. Fake marriage! When the time comes, just give him some money and he can live on his own after divorce! Yes, just do it.

After thinking about it, Li Yu stopped worrying and tidied up the house with peace of mind.

On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yu and Li Mei, mother and daughter, went to the town together. When they arrived in the town, Li Yu said to Li Mei: "Aunt, I will go to the blacksmith shop to order a grill. On the fifteenth day, I will ask Mr. Zhou Eat BBQ."

"Then go ahead! We'll wait for you at the entrance of the town later." Li Mei led Zhao Di and Lai Di away, and Li Yu went to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith laughed when he saw Li Yu, "It's you! Strong girl.”

Li Yu responded to him with a smile, "It's me, uncle. Let me ask you to make a barbecue grill and a copper hot pot."

The blacksmith looked at Li Yu and pointed to the grill in the shop, "There are ready-made barbecue grills, but what is the copper hot pot you are talking about? I have never heard of it?"

"A copper hot pot is a hot pot pot made of copper. Let me draw it for you." Li Yu found an iron nail and drew the shape of a copper hot pot on the ground. "Look, it's Something like this.”

"So this is it?" The blacksmith pointed to the chimney-shaped pillar in the middle, "This is where the charcoal is placed, right?"

"Yes, I will pick it up when you can get it ready."

"Tomorrow, you can come and pick it up at noon tomorrow! There are one, two or four coins in total."

"Okay, I'll give you the money first." Li Yu paid the money readily, took the grill and came out of the blacksmith shop, went to the grocery store, bought some aniseed and a jar of honey, and carried it to the entrance of the town. Later, Li Mei, mother and daughter, drove the bullock cart back together.

Laidi looked at the grill curiously, "Cousin, I want to eat barbecue too. It looks delicious."

"On the fifteenth day, you all have to come, and I will make hot pot to make sure you like it."

Li Mei smiled angrily, "Just spoil your cousin! Look, she's going to be a big girl soon, and she's still so greedy!"

Zhaodi pursed her lips and shaved her face with a smile. Laidi pulled Li Mei's skirt and acted coquettishly, "Mom, look, sister, she is laughing at me, please stop talking about me! I won't be greedy after eating this time." "

Zhao Di laughed and said, "You are lying to yourself!" Everyone laughed after hearing this.

After Li Yu went home, he took out the sugar melons and noodles made by Li Mei and gave them to the Stove Lord. He then lit incense and burned the Stove Lord's old portraits, and sent the Stove Lord back to heaven. He asked the Stove Lord to say good things to everyone so that their lives would be better in the coming year.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, dusting and bathing... On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yu cooked enough bacon, chicken, rabbit, and sausages that the two siblings could eat without a knife before the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On New Year's Eve, after the siblings posted the Spring Festival couplets sent by Zhou Jia to the door gods, they burned incense and worshiped the gods, ancestors, and parents. On New Year's Eve, Li Yu and Li Qing had their first New Year's Eve dinner in another world together. , Li Yu took a sip of the glutinous rice wine sent by Mrs. Li, and looked at Li Qing with a smile, "Ah Qing, the glutinous rice wine is really delicious. You can drink some when you are older."

Li Qing looked at his sister's red face and said to Li Yu excitedly: "Sister, I'm so happy. We are back home and living a good life." Li Qing looked at Li Yu and felt a little guilty, "Sister, Why don't your parents come to see me? If they teach me all their skills, you can relax at home. Now that you are working so hard, I can't help you."

Li Yu looked at Li Qing and said seriously: "Ah Qing, although everyone's opportunities are different, we must learn to seize opportunities and have the courage to change ourselves. Take my sister as an example. She passed out and met her parents. They taught me some principles and skills in life. When I woke up, I began to change myself. I no longer feared or was cowardly and left the Zhang family decisively with you. This was my change.

If after my sister wakes up, she still endures the Zhang family and doesn't make any changes, then what's the use of having more opportunities? "

After hearing this, Li Qing was silent for a while and looked at Li Yu, "Sister, I understand. You asking me to study is also an opportunity for me. It depends on whether I can seize this opportunity and change my destiny."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "You can also say that, Ah Qing, you don't have to worry about me. I like to do things and rely on my own efforts to make myself and my family live a better life."

After hearing this, Li Qing promised Li Yu: "Sister, I will also work hard to let us live a better life."

"Okay, let's do our best together."

After the siblings had eaten and drank, Li Qing scrambled to wash the pots and dishes. Li Yu accompanied Li Qing drunkenly to put on the new Stove Lord, lit incense and candles to welcome the Stove Lord home, and then the two went to the main room. Sit on a chair and watch the New Year's Eve around the fire pot.

Li Yu was drowsy while leaning on the back of the chair. Li Qing woke up Li Yu worriedly when he saw her, and led her to the room. "Sister, you go to bed first and I'll go back to watch the New Year." Li Yu nodded, kicked off his shoes and got in. Falling asleep behind the covers.
