Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

The mountain temple in Lihua Valley is a stone house built with stones. The carpenters built an offering table and placed it in the center against the wall.

There is also a large, beautiful and smooth stone placed on the altar. The stone is also engraved with the words "Lihua Valley Mountain God" in the handwriting of scholar Li Xuan.

All of this was done with the consent of Li Qingxiu, the mountain god. To everyone, as long as Li Qingxiu agreed, it meant that the mountain god agreed.

Li Goudanniang also made a suggestion, which was to ask Li Zheng to pick a piece of red cotton and make a cloak for the stone symbolizing the mountain god, so that the stone would appear mysterious and solemn.

Li Qingxiu, the three siblings rushed to the entrance of the mountain temple and saw that the entrance of the mountain temple was crowded with people. There were several small fires burning in the middle, and everyone gathered around the fires to warm themselves up.

Their eyes lit up when they saw the clothes of Li Qingxiu, sister and brother. The children also looked envious.

Although they also wore new clothes today, they were not as good-looking as the clothes of Li Qingxiu, sister and brother. The joy of wearing new clothes suddenly dropped to the extreme.

Little Chen walked around Li Qingxiu, sister and brother, and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, these clothes are so beautiful. Look at the three of you dressed like the boys under the Guanyin Bodhisattva. Especially Xiaoxiao is so cute that my heart melts."

Li Qingfeng tilted his head and asked: "Second Sister, have you ever seen the boy under Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment when she was asked, and then she immediately realized it. She pinched Qingfeng Li's little face and said with a smile, "Of course I've seen it before. Look, isn't this what I'm looking at!"

Li Qingxiu smiled slightly and said: "Second aunt, Happy New Year, Xiaofeng, Second aunt is complimenting us on how good-looking we are. Why don't you hurry up and give Second aunt a New Year's greetings."

Qingfeng Li rubbed his face and said with a smile: "Happy New Year to my second uncle, sister. Of course I know that my second uncle is complimenting us."

"Happy New Year to you too." After saying this, Xiao Chen took out three pennies from his arms and put them in the hands of the two siblings.

Li Qingxiu had two papers in his hand, one of which was for Li Qingxiao. Because Li Qingxiao was still young, Li Qingxiu took it on his behalf.

Because there was no red paper, and even the cloth was not enough to make new clothes, we could only give copper coins directly.

After the siblings thanked Xiao Chen, they heard the cry of a little girl.

"Uuuuuuuuah...Mom, I also want to wear the kind of clothes that my pretty sister wears. My clothes are dusty and don't look good at all."

Li Qingxiu followed the sound and saw that it was a five or six-year-old girl who was making noises in the woman's arms about wearing the same clothes as herself.

The little girl's mother was very embarrassed. During the Chinese New Year, she naturally didn't want her children to cry.

So, the woman patiently coaxed: "Yaya, don't make trouble, there is no more cloth at home. If you don't want it, I will give your clothes to others."

"No, I don't care. I want that beautiful dress. This dress is too ugly. It doesn't look good at all." The little girl twisted around desperately in the woman's arms.

The woman lost her patience and became angry. She couldn't control her temper and slapped the little girl's butt several times.

"What's the fuss about? People say we don't have this kind of fabric at home anymore. If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Take it off."

The little girl was beaten by the woman and cried even louder, which attracted the attention of other people nearby.

The other kids actually wanted to make trouble too. Because the clothes of the three siblings Li Qingxiu are really good-looking.

But he was afraid that he would be beaten like that little girl, so he could only stand beside his parents obediently.

The little girl's father came over and said dissatisfiedly when he saw this: "My dear, what are you doing? I'm making you cry during the Chinese New Year. Isn't this looking for bad luck?"

The woman felt a little aggrieved by being scolded, so she directly stuffed the crying little girl into the man's arms.

"Then she wants to make a fuss about wearing delicate clothes. What can I do? I have coaxed her, but she just wants to make a fuss. Isn't that just looking for a fight? Look at how you doted on her all the time!"

As soon as the man heard what Li Qingxiu was talking about, he took the woman and the baby to the other side and coaxed her. He was afraid of making Li Qingxiu unhappy. Today he had to worship the mountain god, so he couldn't offend anyone.

Li Qingxiu looked away calmly, feeling no burden at all.

Qingfeng Li glanced at his sister's expression and saw no reaction, so he remained silent.

Mrs. Chen was worried that Li Qingxiu would feel uncomfortable, so she brought Li Xiaocao over.

Before Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng could say New Year's greetings, she put three coins in the hands of Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng.

He also said kindly: "I wish you three sisters and brothers a safe and healthy new year!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng said in unison.

"You all came so fast. Huh...huh..." Widow Jia ran over panting at this time.

Seeing this, Li Qingxiu said: "Auntie, happy New Year, why are you here so slowly?"

Widow Jia stopped and took a few deep breaths before saying: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year. I was a little late doing the cleaning yesterday and overslept. Fortunately, Li Aniu called me. Otherwise, I might have missed the ancestor worship ceremony. Worship the mountain god."

After speaking, Widow Jia took out fifteen cents from her pocket. He counted five cents and gave it to Li Qingfeng.

The remaining ten coins were given to Li Qingxiu, "Five of them are for Xiaoxiao. You can take them for her."

Li Qingfeng looked at the five cents in his hand in surprise. He did not expect Widow Jia to be so generous. "Thank you, auntie, she looks very beautiful today."

Mrs. Chen and Widow Jia looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Xiao Chen also pointed at Qingfeng Li's shoulder. "You're a kid who only cares about money. Do you think your mother-in-law doesn't give you enough?"

Li Qingfeng felt anxious and hurriedly explained: "Second aunt, no, I don't think it's too little!"

Li Xiaocao covered his mouth and snickered. "Xiao Feng, why is your forehead sweating?

"Happy New Year, everyone!" came the smiling voice of Li Zheng.

Seeing that Li Zheng was coming, everyone also wished Happy New Year!

Qingfeng Li breathed a sigh of relief. He cast a grateful look at Li Zheng. If Li Zheng hadn't spoken in time, he wouldn't have known how to explain it to Mrs. Chen.

Li Qingxiu curled her lips and gently patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder. "The eldest aunt and the second aunt are just teasing you."

Qingfeng Li nodded awkwardly and said nothing.

Li Zheng stood on the steps and glanced downwards, "As soon as everyone is here, we are going to start worshiping the mountain god."

Everyone responded: "We're all here!"

When Li Zheng saw this, he said: "Come and pretty girl, since you are the destined person of the mountain god, you will lead this first worship."

Everyone had no objection at all, and thought it should be so.

But Li Qingxiu has an opinion. Originally, this mountain god did not exist, but was invented by her.

She just wanted to take her younger siblings to pay their respects casually and pay homage to their ancestors before going back, but she didn't expect that Li Zheng would make it so formal.
