"Xiao Si, wake up."

Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoli came to lift Lu Shege's quilt.

Xiaosi has been writing and drawing these past two days. Everyone knew that she was going to a private school, so they didn't ask any questions.

Yesterday evening, shopkeeper Li sent two guys to pick up four baskets full of things and deliver them to the Lu family's boat.

After the boy left and sorted things, the Lu family mother and daughter were busy until midnight, sorting out all the credit categories.

"Second sister."

Lu Xiuge looked at Lu Xiaoli who was kneeling in front of him with sleepy eyes, "What are you doing this early in the morning..."

Can't you just let her sleep a little longer?

"It's still early?"

Lu Xiaoli yelled in a high-pitched voice, "Look, the sun is shining on your butt, why are you still sleeping?"

In the whole family, only Lu Xiaosi likes to sleep in, and even Xiao Wu wakes up earlier than her.

Not to mention the whole family, she has never seen any child in the entire Ye Pier who likes to sleep in as much as her fourth child.

"Don't scream, don't scream..."

Lu Sheige covered his eyes with the thin quilt, "I'll get up as soon as I can. Please, my good second sister."

What kind of life is this? I don’t have good food, good housing, or even a good night’s sleep.

All she wanted now was to fall asleep and be in bed in the orphanage when she opened her eyes again.

Even if she had to read the book all over again and go through the struggle of the college entrance examination again, it would be better than enduring hardship in this era of war and chaos and people struggling to make a living.

Lu Xiaoli still wanted to say, but Lu Xiaoqing, who had entered the cabin, twisted his arm and dragged her out: "You can let Xiao Si sleep when she sleeps. There is nothing going on at home, so why don't you allow her to sleep?"

The two sisters left the cabin while talking, leaving Lu Xiangge lying quietly in the cabin with his head covered.

After a long time, Lu Xiaoyu walked in quietly and stuffed a warm egg through the gap in the thin quilt.

Lu Xiige grabbed the egg and revealed his furry little head from under the quilt: "Where did it come from?"

"Yesterday shopkeeper Li sent someone to deliver more than twenty eggs. My mother cooked seven of them in the morning. One for each person and everyone has them."

Lu Xiaoyu's face was filled with a joyful smile, "Xiaosi, would you like to get up and take a look? Mom said she was going to prepare a return gift for Shopkeeper Li's family, but I don't know what she's going to give in return."

At this time, Lu Sheige couldn't sleep at all.

Shopkeeper Li not only sent food, meat, vegetables, dry goods, but also half a bamboo basket of dishes, spoons, kitchen knives, iron spatulas, iron soup spoons to the Lu family... The Li family washed and tidied old clothes and ironed them.

bedding……

Everything that the Lu family could use, from food and drink to kitchen supplies to clothing and clothing, the Li family picked out and sent almost everything they didn't want to take away with them to the Lu family.

These things are all leftovers and used items from the Li family or restaurants.

Lu Sheige, who grew up in an orphanage, did not feel that he was treated poorly by the Li family.

As for the Lu family, who are used to living in poverty, they are even more grateful and don't know what to do. These are all good things.

In previous years, it was common for poor people with a little extra money to go to second-hand clothes shops to buy used clothes.

"His father, shopkeeper Li, is going back to Yangzhou and has sent these things. We have to return the gifts, but..."

Mrs. Qiu rummaged around the house for a long time, and finally found only pickled salted fish, pickled oily wild duck eggs, some dried wild vegetables, and wild tea.

Although these things seem to be a lot, compared with the things sent by the Li family, they are really hard to come by!

Lu Sheige looked at the old dress holding the girl from the Li family. He was so happy that the three Lu sisters were good for some reason, and then glanced at the Qiu family who was in a dilemma.

It is indeed difficult to repay this favor, mainly because the family has no money.

Although the family has earned some money these days, the money was not easy to come by. They bought expensive gifts for Shopkeeper Li, and Shopkeeper Li may not be happy.

What kind of gift should I give in return?

It needs to be cost-effective and satisfying!

So difficult.

Lu Xiangge ate an egg and drank half a bowl of wild vegetable paste. Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was still not too hot, he lay leisurely in the shade of the tree on the bow of the boat, listening to the cicadas chirping all around him.

Mrs. Qiu was sorting out the pots and pans sent by the Li family. The three Lu Xiaoqing sisters had just folded and put away the bedding, and were now sitting next to Lu Sheige, taking out the clothes from the bamboo basket.

"Sister, I can wear this jacket..."

"This dress is just right for Xiaoyu..."

"This cotton coat must be made of new cotton. It is thick and warm to the touch. When winter comes, my mother will not be afraid of the cold after wearing this."

"Shopkeeper Li is about the same height as dad, but he is a little bit stronger. Sister, do you think you should change these clothes for dad before wearing them?"

"No, dad has to do some work, so wear something loose and comfortable."

Hearing the chatter of his sisters, Lu Sheige closed his eyes and was immersed in this joyful scene.

The Li family are all girls, so there are no clothes suitable for Lu Sheige and Lu Xiaowu.

However, this does not trouble the three sisters of the Lu family.

Shopkeeper Li's old clothes can still be altered into one or two for Xiaosi to wear, and Xiaowu is still young. It's okay to choose two smaller ones from the old clothes sent by the Li family and have them altered for him to wear.

It's okay if the color is brighter, Xiao Wu won't refuse because the clothes are made from girls' dresses anyway.

"Little Li, look at this pattern, it's so pretty."

"Wow...this flower looks so good."

"It should be the new look over there in Yangzhou. I've never seen such a beautiful one at the vendor's stall."

The three sisters of the Lu family looked at them with joy as they held a bunch of flowers.

Lu Sheige glanced sideways, suddenly turned over and sat up, and looked over: "What's so good about this look?"

Very ordinary!

"You don't understand." Lu Xiaoli handed the flower in his hand to Lu Xiange, "Look at this flower, the birds on it are well painted, and the meaning is good. Look at this again, it's a flower blooming.

Picture of wealth, this is..."

Lu Sheige took the pattern in Lu Xiaoli's hand and picked up the remaining ones and looked at them carefully.

Lu Xiaoli's nagging voice could be heard in his ears: "Shopkeeper Li's daughters are so kind. They even gave us patterns. I saw it at a salesman's place. An ordinary pattern costs five cents.

.It’s so good, why should it be more expensive? It’s a pity that these patterns are wasted on us. It’s not easy for our family to have money to make new clothes. How can we have spare money to buy embroidery thread? Besides, such beautiful patterns

, of course it has to be embroidered on a satin dress to look good..."

It would be nice for the children in Ye Pier to have clothes to wear. They are still wearing coarse linen clothes. When will they be able to wear such soft clothes and embroider them with such beautiful patterns?

Before Lu Xiaoli finished speaking, Lu Sheige's eyes lit up.

She turned to the busy Ms. Qiu and shouted, "Mom, let's give the Li sisters some flowers."

She knows more about the rich and auspicious tricks than she does.

Just give her a charcoal pencil and she can draw patterns that none of the Li sisters have ever seen before.

Isn't this better than the gift that parents put in effort and spend money to give?

Yes, you can also draw some pictures of what the dresses look like for the sisters in the Li family. If you can’t afford to make new dresses as gifts, you can also draw some pictures of how the dresses look like as gifts.

Lu Sheige couldn't guarantee that his designs would satisfy all the sisters in the Li family, but at least they would be stunning enough!
