Chapter 640 A Thick Stack of Red Envelopes; Lu Xixiao: "I'm Seriously Injured, I'm Not Conscious"
After the fairy wand in his hand finished lighting up, Wen Li heard Lu Xixiao say behind him: "I'm going to get something, wait for me."
He let go of the person, turned around and walked quickly into the room. He came back after a while with a thick stack of red envelopes in his hand.
"My family asked me to bring this to you," he said.
"So many?" Wen Li looked at him and asked, "Did your family give it to me based on my age or your generation?"
He has at least 20 or 30 red envelopes in his hand. Is this for everyone in the family, young and old? That's not appropriate.
Lu Xixiao explained with a smile: "Of course it's given according to my generation. Although you are young, my generation is there. It's appropriate to accept gifts from younger people, but it's not appropriate to accept New Year's money. There are also red envelopes in here from last year. They also prepared red envelopes for you last year, but the time is not right, so I temporarily kept them for you. There are also red envelopes from my uncles, aunts, cousins, uncles, aunts, and my second brother gave them on behalf of my eldest brother, his wife, and my parents. The bank card passwords are all written on the red envelopes."
Wen Li didn't reach out to take it.
Just as she was hesitating, Lu Xixiao pulled her hand over and put a large stack of red envelopes in her hand: "It's just for good luck during the New Year, a token of your thoughts. Don't feel inappropriate, don't feel any psychological burden, and don't worry about whether it will be bad if you don't become a family with them in the future after accepting their red envelopes. Don't think about giving them any gifts in return, because I have already returned the gifts to their children on your behalf."
Wen Li: "Then, thank them for me."
Wen Li couldn't refuse any further since he had said so much. If the gift she had brought all this way was returned unopened, it would seem like she was being ignorant and a disappointment.
She also didn't want to pour cold water on the sensitive and fragile Lu Xixiao.
When the old lady returned to her room after taking a bath, she found dozens of red envelopes on the table. Curiously, she asked Wen Li, who was getting clothes to take a bath, "Li Li, where did all these red envelopes come from?"
Wen Li: "Lu Xixiao brought it here for his family."
"That's so thoughtful." The old lady didn't say much.
I felt more confident about Lu Xixiao and his family.
Hearing her grandmother's relieved laughter, Wen Li pursed her lips and walked out quickly with her clothes in her arms: "I'm going to take a shower."
There is only one bathroom in the house, so you have to queue up to use it. After Wen Li finished taking a bath, Lu Xixiao took over and washed the little one. After putting the little one to bed, he washed himself last. After washing, he simply tidied up the bathroom, washed the underwear and socks by hand and hung them out to dry, put the pants in the washing machine, and hung up Wen Li's clothes that had already been washed in the washing machine.
After finishing all this, Lu Xixiao walked into the main room and saw Wen Li, who was wearing pajamas and wrapped in a blanket, sitting quietly on the sofa chair playing with her phone. He immediately walked over and said, "Li Li."
"Why are you sitting here in such a cold weather? Why aren't you in your room?" He half-knelt in front of Wen Li's legs and asked in a low voice.
The little guy and his grandmother must have fallen asleep, so Wen Li lowered his voice and said, "I'll wait until the door is locked."
She was talking about the door of the main room, which was bolted.
Lu Xixiao: "I will lock this door."
Wen Li: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lu Xixiao: "Are you really just waiting for the door to be locked?"
Wen Li met his smiling eyes, and he held her hand. She said without any expression, "What else?"
Lu Xixiao rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips: "Isn't it because everyone is asleep and you can't leave me alone?"
Wen Li was speechless: "It's not your first time here, and you're not a three-year-old child. How can you be so imaginative every day?"
Lu Xixiao nodded in agreement: "That's right, and I'm not a guest. Only unfamiliar and inconvenient guests need care."
Wen Li was too lazy to speak.
I looked at him and said: If you are not a guest, then what are you?
Lu Xixiao understood her expression completely, and with a look of uncontrollable pride on his face, he said, "Grandma said I'm a family member."
Wen Li frowned slightly. Lu Xixiao understood her expression again and said confidently, "That's how my grandma introduced me to others at the market today. If you don't believe me, ask her."
She asked him what he was secretly happy about after coming back from town.
It really is.
Wen Li: "My grandma is just too kind-hearted."
Lu Xixiao uttered an "oh": "When Song Zhixian came to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, did grandma also tell others that he was a family member?"
If he had a tail behind him, it would definitely be wagging.
Wen Li: "Song Zhixian isn't as shameless, sensitive, or fragile as you, and he's especially not as treacherous as you."
Although these were all derogatory words, Lu Xixiao acted flattered. He grabbed Wen Li's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it, saying in a tone of "That's right," "So he deserves it that he can't get you, and that grandma doesn't love him but me."
He is really thick-skinned.
Wen Li couldn't help but complain, "Do you still remember how you looked when you first met me? Suspecting that I was deliberately approaching Lu Jingyuan to do something bad to you, you looked down on me, arrogant, and kept strangers away, as if someone owed you eight million and was guarding you against thieves. Lu Xixiao, do you still know yourself?"
How unattainable it was then is how worthless it is now.
Thinking back to his attitude towards Wen Li at that time and his overt and covert dislike for her, Lu Xixiao felt a little embarrassed. He argued, "I was seriously injured at the time and was not in a clear mind."
Wen Li: "Tsk~"
Lu Xixiao: "Which version of me do you like?"
Wen Li: "They all deserve a beating."
The village was quiet at this time, with the occasional barking of dogs coming from afar. Two people were talking quietly in the main room.
Lu Xixiao, wearing pajamas and slippers, took a half step closer to Wen Li. He held Wen Li's hand with one hand and put his arm around Wen Li. Although the weather was cold, his heart was warm.
Lu Xixiao said to her, "It's too cold, otherwise it would be nice if we could spend the New Year together." His eyes were burning, and the strong love in his eyes was not concealed, as if no matter how he looked at Wen Li, it was not enough.
Wen Li: "Does your family still observe this custom?"
Lu Xixiao: "It's not really a celebration, it's just that the younger generation in the family likes to take this rare opportunity to get together. I haven't gone out of my way to celebrate, but now I want to spend the New Year with you. This is the first New Year we've spent together, and I want to stay with you for a while longer."
He spoke frankly without beating around the bush.
Wen Li avoided his gaze, looking at the time with a nonchalant expression, "It'll take another two hours."
Lu Xixiao lowered his voice: "Grandma is asleep, right? How about we go to the room and play games while staying up to celebrate the New Year?"
Wen Li kicked him on the calf with her toe in annoyance.
"I'm just kidding." Lu Xixiao squeezed her cold hand lightly and pulled her up. "Let's go back to the room. It's warm there. There will be plenty of opportunities after the New Year's Eve party. It's too cold this year."
Wen Li looked outside and asked, "Are you still washing clothes?"
Lu Xixiao: "Well, I'll come out to dry in a while. Don't worry, I know how to lock this door and where to turn off the lights. Even if I'm not as smart as you, I'm not that stupid."
Wen Li curled her lips: "Sleep."
The two of them went back to their rooms.
Ten minutes later, Wen Li heard Lu Xixiao come out to hang out the clothes. When she was about to turn off the lamp and her phone to go to sleep, she found Lu Xixiao's profile picture on her Moments.
Did he post on WeChat Moments?
Click it and take a look, it’s true.
Posted a photo of playing with fireworks in the yard.
Everyone was in the frame, except for himself, the photographer. Only Lu Jingyuan showed his profile, while she and her grandmother were only shown from behind, which was quite measured. The lighting was poor, and the photo wasn't clear.
The accompanying text is a simple "Happy New Year".
Wen Li gave a thumbs-up and put down his phone to sleep.
After sleeping for a while, I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
I touched my phone and checked the time. It was exactly twelve o'clock.
A message popped up.
Old-fashioned: [Li Li, Happy New Year! ]
Is this guy staying up all night to celebrate the New Year?
As the New Year atmosphere becomes weaker and weaker, although few families in the village stay up all night, almost every household will get up at 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve to set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
But her family never had it.
To be precise, they are the only ones left in the family.
The old lady thought that this custom could be abandoned because it was cold and it was late at midnight, so she didn't want to make things difficult for herself and Wen Li.
Wen Li hadn't paid much attention to this before, but now, looking at the Happy New Year message from Lu Xixiao and listening to the constant sound of firecrackers, she sent Lu Xixiao a message: "Are you still asleep?"
Lu Xixiao replied quickly: "Just about to go to bed."
Wen Li: "Get up and set off some firecrackers?"
Old-fashioned: "Okay, right away."
Wen Li got up from the bed, put on a coat and left the room.
She found a string of firecrackers under the TV cabinet in the main room.
After waiting for a while, Lu Xixiao came out holding the child.
The little guy was wearing a coat, covering his ears with his hands, hiding in Lu Xixiao's arms, obviously woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
Hearing their voices, General Black slipped out.
Three people and a dog set off firecrackers together on New Year's Eve to welcome the New Year.
On New Year's Day, everyone would pay New Year's greetings and go out for fun. The old lady didn't have many relatives to visit, so every few days after the Lunar New Year, as long as the weather was good, she would take Wen Li out for a stroll in town. But that was only when Wen Li was little. Later, as Wen Li grew older, he lost interest. In fact, he was only in the second grade, so the old lady rarely took him out anymore.
I haven't been there again in the past few years.
This year, Lu Xixiao and Lu Jingyuan were here, and the old lady was afraid that they would be bored. Since she had a car, she suggested that they go for a walk in the town or the county.
The old lady asked them to go, but Wen Li wanted her to go too, so she followed.
Lu Xixiao and Wen Li want to change clothes.
After waiting for a while, the old lady waiting in the yard looked towards the main room and saw Lu Xixiao walking towards the opposite door with a dark gray scarf.
When the two came out, the old lady found that Wen Li had a scarf around her neck, the same one that Lu Xixiao had taken.
She was very sure that the scarf was not Wen Li's.
The old lady smiled and said nothing.
Noticing her grandmother's understanding look, Wen Li glared at someone who insisted on putting a scarf on her because it was so windy today.
