The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Seeing that it was getting dark quickly, Niu Li stayed by the oil lamp and refused to leave, waiting to see what it would look like when it was lit.

But Yan Zi had finished all her work for the day during the day, so there was no need to light a lamp at night.

I thought that saving money was better than saving money. Oil is quite expensive, and it’s not those lard or chicken fats that are choking and smelly.

Besides, I had never turned on the lights at night before, so I didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Ever since he got the lamp back, Niu Li has never left a distance of more than three feet. He has never hoped that it would get dark sooner like he did today. Usually he hoped that the sun could set later so that he could practice calligraphy for a while longer.

His eyes seemed to be glued there, just waiting for his mother or sister to give the order to turn on the light so that he could open his eyes and broaden his horizons.

I was very anxious. No matter how much I waited, I couldn't get any results, and I was unwilling to say these words myself.

Others didn't think that Niu Li wanted to see the lamp being lit. They just thought that he had never seen a lamp before and was a little curious. It was normal for him to take a few more glances at a new thing he had finally caught.

The third brother took out the box that Manager Liu had given him, "Girl, take a look at this."

Nier took the box. Because it was too dark and cloudy outside, the moonlight was blocked by the clouds and she couldn't see the pattern on it at all.

You can just feel the grooves on it with your hands, and you can feel that the lines are still very smooth.

"Dad, what is this? Why are there patterns on it?"

I couldn't see the third brother's expression in the darkness, but I could feel that there were two shiny things flickering.

"This is what Shopkeeper Liu gave me today. He asked me to bring it back to you."

"He also said that if there are new dishes next time, just sell them to him. No matter how much Qianwei Restaurant offers, he will give him an extra ten cents."

This is good news. Nier hadn't thought about making any new dishes to sell recently, but now she has the motivation.

The third brother was afraid that Ni'er would misunderstand. His daughter was a worried person and she already had enough things to worry about on a normal day. He didn't want her to worry about something like this.

But you can't think that you are accepting someone's gifts to say good things. If Ni'er didn't want to cook a new dish, then this is just forcing her to do something. She needs to explain it clearly.

"Shopkeeper Liu said he hadn't seen you for a while and missed you a lot. He passed by a stall selling these little gadgets and thought they were suitable, so he bought them."

The third brother lowered his head slightly. Although it was dark and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he still felt a little guilty, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

"I didn't want to accept it at the time, because I was afraid you would feel pressured to come up with a new dish after accepting someone else's food."

"But he said that this thing is not expensive and is just right for your age. If he doesn't give it to you, there won't be other children at home. Is he going to wear it himself? I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it."

Niu Li listened carefully. What kind of thing could be worn and suitable for his sister? Could it be something that little girls like? It was funny to think of an old man with flowers in his hair.

"Sister, please open it and see what it is?"

His eyes rolled around, wondering if he could take this opportunity to ask his dad to turn on the light. The smile on his lips grew wider.

"It's hard to see clearly even if we open it now, why don't we light a lamp?"

"I haven't seen what it looks like when it's lit up yet."

Yan Zi thought it was such a waste. She could look at that thing tomorrow during the day. Why bother lighting a lamp? She could also look at it with the light from the fire in the stove.

"Why don't we go to the kitchen and save some gas."

Niu Li felt unhappy when he heard this, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

Nier felt that her brother was a little unhappy. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could clearly feel that his mood was getting low.

I remembered that he had been circling around the lamp just now, probably wanting to light it. There was nothing in the box for him, so he probably wouldn't want to see it very much.

"Why don't we light a lamp and see if it works, and take a good look at what's in the box. The flames on the stove won't let us see the colors clearly."

When Niu Li heard his sister say this, he knew there was hope for lighting the lamp. Anyway, his father and mother both listened to his sister.

Sure enough, Yan Zi relented and said, "Okay, then light a lamp."

Suddenly I thought it would be nice to have a fire starter, so I'll get one when I have time.

The third brother pulled out a piece of sparking firewood from the stove, took it into the house and lit the lamp.

The room suddenly became bright, and there was no flickering brightness. I could even read, write, and do needlework.

The four members of the family were attracted by the fire and could not help staring at it. When the wind blew, the dancing flames were warm yellow above and blue below, and bright shadows were imprinted in their eyes.

Although the range of the light was not large, it was indeed bright under the lamp. Yan Zi took the needle and thread and tried to sew. It turned out that she could actually do needlework.

After growing up, he finally got his first lamp. He was so happy that he hugged the third child’s arm and swayed around like a child.

"That's great, that's great."

Niu Li looked at the lamp and smiled foolishly. He put his hand over the flame and felt the burning temperature.

"Yeah, that's great."

Yan Zi's happy smile refused to fall and she patted her daughter's hand.

"Nier, open the box and see what's inside. After you're done, we'll turn off the lights and go to bed."

Only then did I see the pattern on the box. It was carved very delicately and had colors. It looked really beautiful.

When I opened the box, I saw my face at first glance. There was even a mirror, so the reflection of myself was quite clear. The box alone must have been worth it.

Niu Li had never seen a mirror, but he had heard that there was something that could reflect people much more clearly than water. Now he finally saw it.

"Take a picture for me."

Ni'er pushed the box towards Niu Li, and he couldn't wait to look at himself, left and right, and even the small mole on his face was clearly visible. It was really interesting. It was the first time he saw himself so clearly.

Seeing that his brother had almost finished taking the photos, he took out everything in the box and pushed the box to the other side. "Mom and Dad, you can take a look too. It's indeed clearer than by the water."

Yan Zi took the box and thought it was really nice. She stroked her cheek with her hand and said, "It's not as good as before. There are wrinkles on your face now."

Niu Li took over the conversation, "Mom is still young. In my eyes, she is the most beautiful."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Zi's face turned red instantly.

The third brother chuckled and looked at Yan Zi, like a fool whose soul was bewitched by a demon.

"That's right. Your mother is a beauty in our village. No, not only in our village, but also in the neighboring village. In terms of beauty, no one can compare to your mother."

Yan Zi glared at them both in annoyance, "Stop talking and look at what's in the box."
