Seeing their big brother come in, Li Cui knew he had finished cooking. To keep Li Xiu from insisting they stay for dinner, she and the others hopped off the kang, put on their shoes, and got ready to head back. When Li Xiu saw they were leaving, he didn't press them to stay. It was the Little New Year, and everyone was supposed to eat dinner at their own home. He just stuffed the pockets of all four of them full of candy.
Li Guo clutched his pocket and grinned at Li Xiu. "Big Brother, I'll come help you put up the spring couplets on New Year's Eve!" After Li Xiu smiled and nodded in agreement, he led Li Miao away.
"Big Brother, I'll come help with the spring couplets too," Li Bo said, tugging on Li Xiu's sleeve.
"Alright, you can come help me on New Year's Eve too," Li Xiu replied with a smile.
