On New Year’s Eve, the family sat around the kang, enjoying a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
After cleaning up the dishes, Su Ziqin took the lead, with four children following him to the courtyard to set off fireworks and firecrackers with other village children, playing happily.
With a smiling face, Li Xiu’e took out a small box from the corner of the bed, opened it, and took out a few strands of money. She divided them into several parts, wrapped them in red paper, preparing New Year gift money for the children who would come to visit on the first day of the New Year.
“Brother Meng really has a big appetite. He ate four steamed buns in one meal, more than you do.”
As she folded the paper packets, she thought of Wang Meng’s appetite and couldn’t help but smile.
“This boy has innate divine strength. He carries more firewood from the mountain than I do.”
Su Hu stroked the stubble on his chin. When he thought of the surprising scene when he took Wang Meng to chop firewood in the woods behind the courtyard in the morning, he couldn’t help but be deeply moved.
Li Xiu’e laughed and added: “Our Sister Yu is really blessed. Even the child she picked up from the roadside turned out to have innate divine strength.”
“Indeed.”
These words touched a chord in Su Hu’s heart. He began to feel a wave of affection for his beloved daughter: “Our Sister Yu’s good fortune is even beyond that of the Fortune Child who serves Guanyin Bodhisattva.”
“Dear.”
Li Xiu’e had a thought and suddenly stopped her movements. She began to whisper in a serious manner: “Do you think that our Sister Yu might really be the Fortune Child from the heavens?”
“Possibly.”
Su Hu stroked his chin and deep in thought, he seriously considered the possibility at hand.
“Oh my, our ancestors of the Su Clan must have made significant offerings to the divine. A fairy fell from the sky, and she came specifically to our house.”
Li Xiu’e felt overwhelmingly blessed. She put her hands together, and couldn’t help but bow in the direction of the Foshou Temple.
“Thank you the Buddha, thank you, the God.”
Seeing his wife’s seriousness, Su Hu also put his hands together and bowed a few times.
“Tomorrow is the first day of the New Year. The village is crowded, and everyone visits each other’s homes. It’s inconvenient. We have to visit my mother’s house on the second day. On the third day, our whole family should
go to Foshou Temple to hill-n incense and express our gratitude to the Buddha.
” The more Li Xiu’e thought about it, the more she believed in the possibility that her daughter was a fairy. She was so excited that she wanted to go to Foshou Temple to offer incense and pray to Buddha.
“Agreed.”
Su Hu readily agreed: “We will go to Foshou Temple early on the morning of the third day. After that, we can find a restaurant in Furong Town for lunch, and then take the children for a spin around the town, visit the temple fair, and buy them some trinkets they like.”
Li Xiu’e was beaming: “We’ll buy ready-made clothes for Brother Meng. There’s not enough time to get them made, and he can’t be wearing Doudou’s old clothes forever.’
“You take care of buying the clothes.”
Su Hu looked at his wife dotingly, recalling the time five years ago when they sold some ginseng and took their children to buy clothes for the first time. He scratched the back of his head and giggled foolishly.
“Of course I’ll take care of it. All you know is how to waste money.”
The couple communicated with tacit understanding. At his words, Li Xiu’e remembered the past events, she laughed and mockingly rolled her eyes at him.
“Hehe.”
Su Hu hugged his wife and laughed foolishly: “Isn’t it all for you and the girls? Finally, we have some money. I don’t want you to suffer anymore.”
“We’ll never have to live in hardship again.”
Li Xiu’e leaned against her husband’s broad shoulders. Her eyes shimmered, revealing a bit of warmth.
“Yes, never again.”
Su Hu held his wife tightly, sighing softly.
The couple cuddled comfortably, listening to the children’s cheerful laughter from the courtyard, quietly awaiting the ringing of the New Year’s bell..
